The dialogue role in improving the mental image of Muslims in non-Muslim societies.

The research has tried to contribute to find solutions to the problem of the distorted stereotyped thought about Islam and Muslims among non-Islamic ,especially the Western societies, by studying this phenomenon, which has come to be known as “Islamophobia” .This phenomenon has caused the formation of a negative perception of Islam in the majority of those societies as an extremist religion that urges violence and conveys terrorism to all the people around the world, and its followers are the most reactionary and backward societies. Consequently ,this concept has created barriers that prevented those societies from knowing the truth of Islam, and its divine essence and its humantarian nature that is rich in great values, which contribute to strengthening security ,peace and prosperity in the world. The research has concluded that there are two main reasons for the emergence of this phenomenon, one is internal; which is related to the behavioral deviation of some Muslims from the values and teachings of Islam ,which has gave a negative impression about Islam as a religion and Muslims as a nation. Moreover,it cases of civilizational backwardness, wars, and political, economic and social problems experienced by most Arab and Islamic societies. The other reason is external. It is related to the systematic campaigns that many western circles make them, led by the Orientalists, and the Christian Zionists lobbies, which have tried to describe Islam to their regimes and societies as a flood that wants to invade their countries. And that Islam is a bloody,exclusive religion. So, this wrong thought has created a state of phobia and fear of Islam in those societies. Shortly ,It requires various efforts to amend this wrong thought about Islam in those societies, the most important of which is dialogue at all its intellectual, cultural, political levels and fields through which it is possible to improve the image of Islam and Muslims and create the suitable atmosphere for the delivery of the pure message of Islam to all human societies. This contributes to alleviate the cases of hatred, aggression and racial discrimination against Muslims, especially the Islamic communities and Islamic minorities.

An Enhanced Bio-Inspired Aco Model For Fault-Tolerant Networks

This research mainly aimed at establishing the current functionality of computer network systems, evaluating the causes of network faults, and developing an enhanced model based on the existing ACO model to help solve these network issues. The new model developed suggests ways of solving packet looping and traffic problems in common networks that use standard switches. The researcher used simulation as a method of carrying out this research whereby an enhanced algorithm was developed and used to monitor and control the flow of packets over the computer network. The researcher used an experimental research design that involved the development of a computer model and collecting data from the model. The traffic of packets was monitored by the Cisco Packet Tracer tool in which a network of four computers was created and used to simulate a real network system. Data collected from the simulated network was analyzed using the ping tool, observation of the movement of packets in the network and message delivery status displayed by the Cisco Packet Tracer. In the experiment, a control was used to show the behavior of the network in ideal conditions without varying any parameters. Here, all the packets sent were completely and correctly received. Secondly, when a loop was introduced in the network it was found that the network was adversely affected because for all packets sent by the computers on the network, none of them was delivered due to stagnation of packets. In the third experiment, still, with the loops on, a new ACO model was introduced in the cisco packet tracer used to simulate the network. In this experiment, all the packets sent were completely and correctly delivered just like in the control experiment.

A Partial Order View of Message-Passing Communication Models

There is a wide variety of message-passing communication models, ranging from synchronous "rendez-vous" communications to fully asynchronous/out-of-order communications. For large-scale distributed systems, the communication model is determined by the transport layer of the network, and a few classes of orders of message delivery (FIFO, causally ordered) have been identified in the early days of distributed computing. For local-scale message-passing applications, e.g., running on a single machine, the communication model may be determined by the actual implementation of message buffers and by how FIFO queues are used. While large-scale communication models, such as causal ordering, are defined by logical axioms, local-scale models are often defined by an operational semantics. In this work, we connect these two approaches, and we present a unified hierarchy of communication models encompassing both large-scale and local-scale models, based on their concurrent behaviors. We also show that all the communication models we consider can be axiomatized in the monadic second order logic, and may therefore benefit from several bounded verification techniques based on bounded special treewidth.

The Adoption and Diffusion Process of Sustainable Agribusiness Management through the Role of Vocational High School Graduates

Unsustainable agricultural development has an impact on land damage, decreased water quality, increased critical land and it is hoped that agriculture will transform towards sustainable agriculture. Sustainable agriculture is development that considers economic, ecological and social dimensions, so that agricultural development can be enjoyed by current and future generations. Sustainable agricultural development requires human resources as agents of change. The existence of Vocational High Schools in agriculture as a subsystem of national education is expected to produce graduates who have competence in the agricultural sector. Research on the process of conveying sustainable agribusiness messages through the role of Vocational High School graduates uses a phenomenological approach to understand the experiences of research subjects. The research subjects were graduates of Vocational High Schools who worked as farmers and extension workers with the sampling technique using snowball sampling by examining the role of graduates of Vocational High Schools as adopter farmers and distributors, non-adopter farmers, extension workers and extension officers who own farming businesses due to the success of the adoption process and Diffusion is influenced by information sources and message delivery methods. The results of the study show that the learning-by-doing method of information sources is considered effective in the process of adoption and diffusion of sustainable agribusiness.

Firehose of Falsehood Propaganda Model in the 2019 Indonesian Presidential Election

The general election is a democratic means to gain power constitutionally. Several groups, however, use all the possible means to achieve that power. Firehose of falsehood is an example of political propaganda models that use every means to influence public opinion. This model of political propaganda finds its momentum through propaganda on social media. The purpose of this research is to understand the model of the firehose of falsehood on social media in the 2019 Indonesian presidential election. This research method uses a discourse analysis approach to identify the phenomena and events regarding the use of political propaganda on social media. Meanwhile, data collection is carried out through Twitter social media documentation. The results of this analysis indicated that the Firehose of Falsehood propaganda model was used as a political propaganda in the 2019 Indonesian presidential election. Social media, especially Twitter, became a means of propaganda to influence public opinion. The message delivery models were carried out through several methods. First, they were disseminated massively through various channels; second, they were carried out continuously and repeatedly; third, they were not following objective facts; and fourth, the media were lack of consistency.

Double Q-learning based routing protocol for opportunistic networks

Opportunistic Delay Tolerant Networks also referred to as Opportunistic Networks (OppNets) are a subset of wireless networks having mobile nodes with discontinuous opportunistic connections. As such, developing a performant routing protocol in such an environment remains a challenge. Most research in the literature have shown that reinforcement learning-based routing algorithms can achieve a good routing performance, but these algorithms suffer from under-estimations and/or over-estimations. Toward addressing these shortcomings, in this paper, a Double Q-learning based routing protocol for Opportunistic Networks framework named Off-Policy Reinforcement-based Adaptive Learning (ORAL) is proposed, which selects the most suitable next-hop node to transmit the message toward its destination without any bias by using a weighted double Q-estimator. In the next-hop selection process, a probability-based reward mechanism is involved, which considers the node’s delivery probability and the frequency of encounters among the nodes to boost the protocol’s efficiency. Simulation results convey that the proposed ORAL protocol improves the message delivery ratio by maintaining a trade-off between underestimation and overestimation. Simulations are conducted using the HAGGLE INFOCOM 2006 real mobility data trace and synthetic model, showing that when time-to-live is varied, (1) the proposed ORAL scheme outperforms DQLR by 14.05%, 9.4%, 5.81% respectively in terms of delivery probability, overhead ratio and average delay; (2) it also outperforms RLPRoPHET by 16.17%, 9.2%, 6.85%, respectively in terms of delivery ratio, overhead ratio and average delay.

Abstract A115: A qualitative analysis of barriers to colorectal screening and strategies to improve screening uptake among African Americans and Latinos in Nebraska

Abstract As part of a statewide cancer needs assessment, this study aimed to elicit perspectives from African American (AA) and Latino communities about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Four virtual focus groups were held April-August 2021 conducted by AA and Latina researchers, respectively, with Latino groups conducted in Spanish. Groups were 60-90 minutes, used a structured guide, and were audio recorded. Eligibility criteria included age 30+, cancer survivor or caregiver, and Nebraska resident. Participants (n=7 AA, n=12 Latinos) received a $40 gift card. Transcripts were inductively coded using directed content analysis. Most participants were female (84%) and survivors (58%). Only 3 participants (rural Latino) had not heard of colonoscopy, two of whom had not heard of any screening. Across groups, awareness of fecal testing was low, with confusion about tests. Physician bias about testing recommendations contributed to lack of knowledge about options; some providers did not make screening recommendations. A barrier is limited use of healthcare. Cultural and economic factors lead to care seeking only when people “have a major problem.” The female AA group brought forward distrust in the health system; historical angst led them not to trust and listen to providers who do not look like them. All groups stated access barriers include costs, work, transportation, and insurance. Hourly workers cannot afford to take time off for care. Such usage patterns lead to lack of preventive care and education about cancer screening. Across groups, colonoscopy is treated as a joke associated with fear, embarrassment, and sexual innuendo. It “kind of scares you away from even having to go get checked out.” Negative perceptions of colonoscopy led an AA man with family history of CRC to “forego the screening.” Latino groups identified machismo as a limiting factor for males. Fear of a cancer diagnosis (“death sentence”) and denial (“I don’t think it’s going to happen to me”) contribute to screening avoidance. Suggested approaches to improve CRC screening included 1) increasing awareness at a grassroots level (e.g., health fairs, community education programs, presentations at churches and schools), 2) using social media to share information about the importance of screening, and 3) having healthcare providers consistently recommend CRC screening. Message delivery can be done by survivors, navigators, and group texts. Messages shared by survivors encourage a sense of hope that “diagnosis is taking that step to live.” AA participants indicated that healthcare facilities must build networks and trust with their communities by being present at community events. Healthcare providers need to consistently recommend CRC screening and provide detailed explanations about screening options. “Explain to us so that we can understand what it is like and why it is important.” Additionally, system-level barriers, including accessibility, need to be addressed to normalize routine check-ups and preventive screening in these communities.

Evaluation of factors influencing physician–patientcommunication in healthcare service delivery

Physician–patient communication has received less focus in the study of healthcare service delivery in Nigeria. Themajority of communication relies on message delivery rather than interpersonal communication. Even when doctorshave significant knowledge to share with their patients, they frequently lack the interpersonal communicationskills required to do it successfully. This quantitative study employed the analysis of 150 valid responses frompracticing physicians in Lagos state. Descriptive statistics were carried out to understand the factors influencingphysician–patient communication. The results revealed good communication skills among physicians as theyagreed to have social conversations with patients, listen intently to them, and promote question-asking. Theresponses from the survey also revealed that factors such as limited consultation time and unfavorable workingenvironments could negatively impact physician–patient communication. Furthermore, the test hypothesis revealeda significant correlation between physicians’ age and gender (p<0.05), whereas physicians’ ethnicity andreligion had non-significant associations. The evaluation of factors influencing physician–patient communicationrevealed that several individual and contextual factors contribute to effective communication, including physiciancommunication skills, patient health literacy, and system-level factors such as time constraints and workload.Healthcare organizations and policymakers should prioritize efforts to improve physician–patient communicationby addressing the identified factors that influence communication and implementing evidence-based interventionsto enhance communication between physicians and patients.

Role of Television in Rural Development: A Study on Two Districts of Bangladesh

The study’s main objectives were to evaluate the contribution of television to rural development, including understanding the sorts of massages that are broadcast by television channels, attitudes toward broadcasted massages, and the effects of those massages on rural development. For the study, 300 participants were surveyed from six villages in the Munshiganj and Manikganj districts. Key informant interviews (KII) and focus group discussions (FGD) were also performed. The theoretical framework of the study was the agenda-setting theory of McCombs (1972) and the media growth theory by Mc Quail (1987). According to the study’s findings, all of the respondents own televisions and regularly watch television. According to the study, 72% of respondents believed television to be a powerful medium, and over 70% believed it to be an effective one. Another finding showed that about 74.3% of people utilized developmental messages received from TV channels, and 49.67% saw positive effects from the messages to raise their standards of living. In rural Bangladesh, as study revealed 100% of people use television, compared to 21% who use newspapers, 0% who use radio, and 53.67% who use the internet, it appears that television is the major and most dependable source of development messages. So, a decision can be made based on the study that TV is playing a significant role and have the potentiality to be used effectively in rural developments of Bangladesh. The government should provide training to television employees on rural development community engagement in program identification, delivery, follow-up, and administration of development messages successfully. The creation of high-quality television programming should be collaborative. According to the report, television can help with opportunity identification, policy options, and strategic initiatives to advance rural development policies and services.

DewDrone: Dew Computing for Internet of Drone Things

Unstable internet connectivity in aerial interconnection is challenging for the Internet of drone Things. Introducing the low power edge device and caching methodology opens a new challenge to developing an independent computing and communication application for smart cities, the rural sector, industry, and society 4.0. This author proposes a dew-cloud computing framework amalgamated with the UAV networks known as “DewDrone.” We engineered an opportunistic communication framework for unreliable and intermittent network connectivity. We analyzed the dew message transfer response, and caching performance has been measured in a resource constrain hardware testbed. The results show the 91.4% message delivery ratio within a dew buffer size of 150 MB with a minimum latency of 20.04 ms.

Intrusion Detection and Network Information Security Based on Deep Learning Algorithm in Urban Rail Transit Management System

The exploration of the intrusion detection effect of urban rail transit management system aims to further improve the safety performance of the traffic field in urban construction. Thus, the deep convolution neural network model AlexNet with more network layers and stronger learning ability is adopted and improved, to ensure the safe operation of urban rail transit. Meanwhile, the GRU (Gate Recurrent Unit) neural network is introduced into the improved AlexNet to build an intrusion detection model of urban rail transit management system. Finally, the model performance is verified through the collected data and simulation experiments. Through the comparative analysis of the model and other scholars’ models in related fields, the recognition accuracy of intrusion detection of the intrusion detection model reaches 96.00%, which is at least 1.55% higher than that of other neural network models. Besides, its training time is stable at about 55.05 seconds, and the test time is stable at about 22.17 seconds. Moreover, the analysis result of data transmission security performance indicates that the data message delivery rate of this model is more than 80%, the data message leakage rate and packet loss rate are less than 10%, and the average delay is basically stable at about 350 milliseconds. Therefore, the constructed model can achieve high data transmission security performance under the premise of ensuring prediction accuracy, which can provide experimental basis for improving the safety performance of rail transit systems in smart cities.

Deep Learning Based Anomaly Detection for Fog-Assisted IoVs Network

Internet of vehicles (IoVs) allows millions of vehicles to be connected and share information for various purposes. The main applications of IoVs are traffic management, emergency messages delivery, E-health, traffic, and temperature monitoring. On the other hand, IoVs lack in location awareness and geographic distribution, which is critical for some IoVs applications such as smart traffic lights and information sharing in vehicles. To support these topographies, fog computing was proposed as an appealing and novel term, which was integrated with IoVs to extend storage, computation, and networking. Unfortunately, it is also challenged with various security and privacy hazards, which is a serious concern of smart cities. Therefore, we can formulate that Fog-assisted IoVs (Fa-IoVs), are challenged by security threats during information dissemination among mobile nodes. These security threats of Fa-IoVs are considered as anomalies which is a serious concern that needs to be addressed for smooth Fa-IoVs network communication. Here, smooth communication refers to less risk of important data loss, delay, communication overhead, etc. This research work aims to identify research gaps in the Fa-IoVs network and present a deep learning-based dynamic scheme named CAaDet (Convolutional autoencoder Aided anomaly detection) to detect anomalies. CAaDet exploits convolutional layers with a customized autoencoder for useful feature extraction and anomaly detection. Performance evaluation of the proposed scheme is done by using the F1-score metric where experiments are carried out by exploiting a benchmark dataset named NSL-KDD. CAaDet also observes the behavior of fog nodes and hidden neurons and selects the best match to reduce false alarms and improve F1-score. The proposed scheme achieved significant improvement over existing schemes for anomaly detection. Identified research gaps in Fa-IoVs can give future directions to researchers and attract more attention to this new era.

Representation of Ukhuwah Islamiyah Message in the Novel Kambing dan Hujan By Mahfud Ikhwan (Study of Literature Sociology)

Da'wah media is important as a message transmission that facilitates the delivery of da'wah messages in the form of good values. One of the print media that is used as a propaganda medium is novel. The novel Kambing dan Hujan written by Mahfud Ikhwan carries the theme of socio-religious life which is full of da'wah messages. The novel Kambing dan Hujan has two major premises in its story, the romance and upheaval of two people who in the story represent the horizontal conflict of two major Islamic organizational entities in Indonesia, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah. In addition to representing the conflict between the two largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia, the novel also represents ukhuwah islamiyah as a way out of the conflict. Through the study of the sociology of literature, it will examine and describe the representation of the message of brotherhood Islamiyah in the novel. This research is a type of library research, the method in this research is qualitative research. The results of the discussion show that in the novel there are three representations of the message of ukhuwah Islamiyah: 1) Ukhuwwah fi din Al-Islam, a brotherhood among Muslims. 2) Ukhuwwah fi Al-'ubudiyyah which is the brotherhood of all creatures in the sense of equality, namely equality in creation and submission to Allah. 3) Ukhuwwah fi Al-wathaniyah wa Nasab which is a brotherhood that is intertwined in descent and also of the same nationality.

Branding the Creative City of Design: Lesson from Singapore

Over the last two decades, creative cities have become an issue of interest as governments in several countries have worked to develop ecosystems where the creative class can innovate and share ideas. Many city governments focus more on developing creative cities and pay less attention to their city's branding. This study aims to see Singapore as a newly appointed UNESCO creative city brand, even though it already has a destination brand. There are challenges about which brand should come first or how to strategically brand a city and ensure all interests are accommodated in the branding process. This study uses a qualitative method with in-depth interview data collection techniques with the Head of the Singapore Polytechnic Department of Architecture and Design, literature studies through books, journals, newspapers, and related matters, as well as observations in the city of Singapore. The results of this study show that Singapore's branding as a creative city of design is a component of the city-state's leading branding. First, the city branding process includes identifying the uniqueness of the city brand. In this case, the emphasis on Singapore is built and grown by design. Next is the development of a brand identity that differentiates Singapore from other UNESCO design creative cities. Finally, the delivery of brand messages to all relevant stakeholders. This research contributes to the development of branding concepts related to creative cities.

Encoding Vertices in Rectangular Grid Graphs with Eliminating Errors

An undirected graph G = (V,E) where V is a set of vertices and E =V ×V is the set of pair of adjacent edges or in other words it is the set of edges. In theory, a graph can be a model of a message delivery in a network. We assume that the computer network has a particular shape which we call as a rectangular grid and there is a computer on each vertex in the graph. Each vertex v∈V is labelled by a subset of universal set U that models the header of a message sent between two distinct computers in G. We present a way to encode routes in the graph G by encoding all distinct vertices u,v ∈V in the routes. We aim that these codes prevent errors denoted by false positives, therefore, results in a more efficient use of network resources.
