Sustainable Development and Traditional Knowledge with Special Reference to the Bodo Community

Traditional Knowledge of local or indigenous communities are developed and nurtured over many generations. Its wisdom has enabled communities to adapt and interact with their environment. The knowledge system of indigenous communities is embedded in their traditions, customs and practices. In many cases, such knowledge is orally transmitted through folklore, art, customary laws and rituals. Indigenous communities possess a wide array of traditional knowledge developed through the collection of insights of their surroundings and as a response to it. This has allowed them to sustain and reduce risks, thus enabling them to co-exist, utilize and adapt with their surroundings. Traditional knowledge, therefore, forms a vital asset for the indigenous communities such as the Bodos of North-east India. Due to globalization and the development of modern sciences and technology, the traditional knowledge of indigenous societies faces multiple challenges and have witnessed the reduction in its importance. However, the growing emphasis on sustainable development has begun to shed a new light in its direction. This paper, therefore, is an attempt to study the relevance of traditional knowledge in the achievement of sustainable existence of human beings with an emphasis on the Bodos community.

Crop Disease Prediction Using Web Application

Abstract: Agriculture plays a very vital role in our life. Without agriculture, the existence of human beings is not possible as it is the main source of our food supply to sustain on the earth and it also helps to grow our economy across the world. Plant disease detection is one of the most important aspects of maintaining an agriculturally developed nation. The timely and efficient detection of plant diseases is essential for a healthy and productive agricultural sector. Various diseases like Common Rust, Bacterial Spot, Leaf Mold, Mosaic Virus, Powdery Mildew and others that could affect a plant and cause farmer to lose a substantial sum yearly. Deep Learning (DL) can play a crucial role in helping farmers to prevent crop failure by early disease detection in plant leaves. In the experiment, examination conducted by Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model on dataset (which consists of images of healthy and infected leaves) to detect plant diseases and Web Application is used for real-life crop disease prediction. The proposed Web Application aims to assist farmers in detection of plant diseases by analyzing images of the plant leaves. The proposed application uses the CNN model to distinguish healthy and infected leaves. The goal is to help farmers and prevent economic loss by detecting plant diseases early

Gender Pragmatics, Transgender and Challenges

This research investigates the linguistic implications of transgenderism with the objective of determining the impact of transgenderism on existing gender theories. The orientation of this research is situated in the linguistic field of pragmatics and adopts Yule’s (1996) classification of presupposition as the theoretical framework for this study. The research problem is hinged on the fact that disruptive processes create upheavals for existing structures such that the affected structures require critical rescue. In this connection, transgenderism and its attendant complications pose strong challenges for gender pragmatics. The data is a real-life video, captioned “Sorry, I’m A Man”, collected from JERRY SPRINGER – Transsexual Tell All official channel on YouTube. The method of this research is qualitative. The methodological paradigm is interpretive, based on content analysis. The relevance of this research is based on its contribution to resources geared towards salvaging humanity from adulteration and destruction, particularly being that language and gender are essential constituents of the existence of human beings.

關於腦機介面技術風險的再思考——一個商榷

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.
 Although intelligent robots can have rationality and thinking beyond those of ordinary people, they do not possess human dignity, nor can they become consistent with human beings in terms of social status, rights and dignity. Human dignity includes life dignity and personal dignity. Brain–computer interface technology may not only pose a serious external threat to the dignity of human life but also endanger the embodied existence of human beings, resulting in the separation of body and mind and violating people’s personal dignity.

Rethinking the Human Right to Food from a Single Perspective to a Four-Fold Legal Interpretation

Abstract The human right to food is a fundamental pillar for guaranteeing human dignity and the existence of human beings. It is configured in the international legal system as the possibility of supplying a minimum amount of food necessary to avoid death by hunger, as well as healthy and adequate food for all people. The path to its recognition and conceptualization has been hazardous and is currently not free of real problems that affect its realization. Protection of the right at the national level has taken different forms: express or indirect recognition, recognition of the validity of international law norms in national law, jurisprudence or through the principles of the State. Nevertheless, the hunger problem persists, and the problems associated with nutrition continue to increase. Issues of nutritional security and food sovereignty are linked to the human right to food and are not incompatible with that right. In this regard, conceptual currents define the right from various perspectives, but they are insufficient to meet today’s demands. This research aims to support the four-fold legal interpretation thesis with a legal-theoretical approach to contextualize the right to food in the current circumstances. This article is structured in the first part to analyse the different definitions that shape the right to food. It then briefly presents the four-fold legal interpretation thesis and, finally, some arguments for reconfiguring the human right to food. The research methods used are legal-theoretical, legal-analytical and document analysis.

"Water" Footprints in the Ottoman

Environmental problems, which increase with dramatic accelerations, deepen their effects with global crises such as epidemics and wars, and on the other hand, they become difficult or even impossible to get out of with new problems. In particular, the decrease in basic life resources has required humanity to be purged of a comfortable but irresponsible life model once again. The foremost of these sources, water requires a separate attention and effort as it is indispensable. Because water is not only a vital need, but also a primary factor that shapes many important issues such as the settlements, lives, cultures and relations of societies. When this interaction, which has continued since the existence of human beings, is evaluated in terms of environmental history, the Ottoman Empire has been one of the civilizations that come to the fore with its success from its deep-rooted past. The Ottoman's approach and sensitivity to water constituted the basis for it to be referred to as "water civilization" and therefore to be chosen as the subject of the study. In this study, the footprints of the "water" in terms of the environmental history of the Ottoman Empire were followed; It is aimed to reveal approaches related to water supply, waste water, savings, protection and security of resources, floods, measures taken and the use of water from industry to energy. In addition, it is aimed that the approaches that can shed light on the present, being a role model for today's modern (!) societies, being a source of inspiration and contributing to environmental awareness are important outputs.

Pendidikan Sufistik Syeikh Nuruddin Ar-Raniry


 The concept of Sufistic education carried out by Nuruddin Ar-Raniry in Aceh is to make shari'at one of the characteristics of his Sufistic teachings (akhlaqi). Shari'at is a valid rule in worshiping Allah. The formulation of the problem in this study departs from the researcher's curiosity to know about the biography and concept of Sufistic education of Nuruddin Ar-Raniry. This research is a qualitative research that is oriented towards library research. The data collection technique used by researchers in this research is through documentation activities, namely seeking various information about Nuruddin Ar-Raniry contained in books, theses, journals and other readings. This study aims to find out the biography and monumental works written by Nuruddin Ar-Raniry. This research also aims to explore the teachings of Sufistic education Nuruddin Ar-Raniry and his contribution to the development of Islamic teachings, especially in Sufistic education. The results of this study indicate that Nuruddin Ar-Raniry's concept of sufistic education, among other things, emphasizes aspects of the implementation of the Shari'a (worship) as the teachings of Sufism with an akhlaqi pattern, not equating creatures with God both in terms of Shari'a and hakikat, understanding the role of humans as khalifah fil 'ardh and acknowledging the existence of human beings.

A Critical Assessment of The Rising Wave of Criminal Activity and Perceptions of Social Work Roles Among Nigerian Youth

Aim: Crime is an ongoing phenomenon since the existence of human beings and can be seen in every society. When left unchecked, it becomes worrisome and creates fear in people's minds and causes untold suffering. Especially in developing countries, crime is present in every society, regardless of its level of development, which even hinders the socio-economic development of countries. This study aims to focus on the recently increasing crime rates in Nigeria, especially among the youth, to reveal the possible causes of this alarming trend, to point out the impact on Nigerian society and the pursuit of socio-economic development when left unchecked, and then to propose solutions to this anomaly.. Methodology: This study reads both social learning theory and cultural crime theory as a theoretical guide for the reader. A generative questionnaire design was used. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis were used to address the relationship between youth and crime in Nigeria. The Nigerian who manages to run this wins. The recruitment was from one thousand eight hundred (1800) youth selected from six (6) geopolitical regions in nigeria, selected through a multifaceted recruitment technique that included purposeful, stratified and quota exploitation methods. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis and direct citations, while quantitative components were analyzed using microorganisms and inferential statistics. Results: The gender of participants was found that 66.7% were male and 33.3% were female. Also 20% of the responders are unemployed or graduates. The questions were asked on reasons for the rising numbers of crimes committed by youths, indicate to the not enough policies of the federal to ameliorate this, youth unemployment and ways this menace can be tackled. Conclusion: These results showed It discovered that unemployment and lack of meaningful empowerment by government, among others, are responsible for high crime rates among youths. It recommends urgent efforts on the part of government to gainfully engage unemployed youths for decent means of livelihood while pointing mostly commensurate penalties and proper rehabilitation/mentorship to perpetrators of crimes to serve as deterrent to others.

A Study on Human Identity Research and Role of Classic Narrative in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

본 논문은 인공지능(기계)과 인간의 관계성 탐구를 본질로 하는 포스트휴머니즘 연구에서 국내 고전서사 작품이 어떤 역할을 담당할 수 있을지를 탐구한 성과에 해당한다. 아감벤(Agamben)의 ‘몸(신체)의 사용’이란 개념을 토대로 머지않아 도래할 인공지능 시대에 안드로이드, 아바타(Avatar) 등으로 대표되는 비인간적 존재와 인간 사이의 관계 맺기의 양상과 그 의미를 고전서사 중 <이생규장전(李生窺墻傳)>(애정전기소설)과 <옹고집전>을 중심으로 고찰하고자 했다. 고대 그리스 철학자들이 ‘몸(신체)의 사용’을 ‘노예의 신체 사용’으로 보았다. 이렇듯 신체를 가진 비인간적 존재들은 역사적으로 ‘쓰고 버려지는’ 도구성을 지닌 ‘노예와 다르지 않다. 근대 산업 현장에서의 ‘노동자’, 현대 과학에서의 기계, 그리고 인공지능 시대의 인조인간 로봇이나 아바타 등은 인간의 신체와 친밀함을 지닌 도구나 기술이다. 기계나 인간의 형상을 한 비인간적 존재들은 인간의 보조재로서 조력성(도구성)이 강하지만, 그렇기에 ‘잠재성’ 또한 강하다. 비인간적 존재의 ‘잠재성’은 결국 기계(비인간적 존재)가 얼마나 인간과 가까워질 수 있고, 이때 둘의 관계 설정을 어떻게 볼 것인가라는 ‘인간성’ 문제로 연결된다는 점에서 중요하다. <이생규장전>에서 가짜 몸인 환체(幻體)를 사용해 죽은 최랑(崔娘)이 인간 이생(李生)과 관계를 유지한다는 서사 설정에서 가상현실(메타버스) 공간에서 아바타와 인간의 관계를 이해하는 원천을 발견할 수 있다. 명혼(冥婚) 전기(傳奇)소설 작품은 비인간적 존재가 감정을 느낀다는 가정의 현실성과 별개로 그것이 가능하다는 잠재성을 미학화하여 가정하고, 그 잠재적 상황이 현실화 되었을 때 발생할 수 있는 상황들을 사유실험 속에 놓은 결과물과 같다. 또한 <옹고집전>처럼 진짜와 가짜를 판별하는 서사는 진짜 인간과 비인간의 관계 속에서 존재론과 인간의 정체성을 이해하는 단서로 긴요하다. 인간이 ‘사용’의 대상이 될 때, 인간성은 ‘내가 다른 사람이 될 수 있는 가능성’의 다른 이름이나 마찬가지다. 신체의 ‘사용’이 지닌 ‘잠재성’을 염두에 두고, 인간과 비인간, 정신과 신체 등 이원적 구분이 양산하는 고정적 위계를 해체하고, 지금까지 소홀히 취급되었던 타자들뿐만 아니라, 머지않은 시기에 나타날 다양한 혼종적 존재들과의 공존 방법을 모색하는 시각을 고전서사 작품에서 마련할 수 있다. 몸의 사용이란 관점에서 고전서사를 새롭게 읽어낼 때 미래 사회의 인간 존재를 궁구하는 또 다른 시각을 갖게 될 것이다.This paper tried to examine the possibility of the role that Korean classic narrative works can play in the study of post-humanism, which has the essence of exploring the relationship between artificial intelligence (machine) and humans. Through Agamben’s concept of ‘use of the bodies’, I explore the aspect and meaning of establishing a relationship between human beings and non-human beings represented by artificial human robots and avatars in the coming age of artificial intelligence. In addition, I tried to help understanding by taking YiSaengGyuJang-Jeon(李生窺墻傳) and OngGoJip-Jeon as examples. The ancient Greek philosophers saw the ‘use of the bodies’ as ‘the use of the body of a slave’. In this way, non-human beings with bodies are historically no different from ‘slaves’ with instrumentalities that are ‘used and thrown away’. ‘Workers’ in modern industrial settings, machines in modern science, and artificial intelligence robots or avatars in the age of artificial intelligence are tools or technologies that have intimacy with the human body. Non-human beings in the form of machines or human beings have strong assisting properties (tools) as human assistants, but therefore their ‘potential’ is also strong. The ‘potentiality’ of non-human beings is important in that it ultimately leads to the ‘humanity’ issue of how close a machine (non-human beings) can be to a human and how to view the relationship between the two. The narrative setting in which the deceased Choi-Rang(崔娘) uses a fake body to maintain a relationship with the human YiSaeng(李生) in YiSaengGyuJang-Jeon is useful for understanding the relationship between avatars and humans in the virtual reality(=Meta-verse) space. Useful for these classic narrative works are meaningful in that they are the result of aestheticizing and assuming the potential that it is possible apart from the reality of the assumption that non-human beings feel emotions, and putting situations that will occur when that potential situation becomes a reality in a thought experiment. In addition, the narrative that distinguishes the real from the fake like OngGoJip-Jeon is a valuable clue to understanding ontology and human identity in the relationship between real humans and non-humans. When a human being becomes the object of ‘use’, it’s like acknowledging that humanity is another name for ‘the possibility that I can eventually be someone else’. It is necessary to dismantle the various hierarchies produced by the dual divisions of humans and non-humans, mind and body, etc., keeping in mind the other value of ‘use’ of bodies, namely ‘potentiality’. It is important to find a way to coexist not only with others who have been neglected until now, but also with various hybrid beings that will appear in the near future. When we read the classic narrative anew from the point of view of the ‘use’ of bodies, we can be provided with another perspective to explore the existence of human beings in the future society.

Examination of death concerns of physical education and sports school students

Although it has been the subject of many studies in recent years, death and death anxiety emerges as one of the least clear areas. Death has been in the lives of human beings from the moment human beings are born. In this context, it is thought that determining the death anxiety levels of the students of the faculty of sports sciences and examining their relations with different variables will contribute to the field. This study aims to determine the death anxiety levels of the students of the faculty of sports sciences and to discuss them in light of the findings. The study sample consists of 293 (97 female, 196 male) volunteer participants studying at physical education and sport college. While scale was preferred as a data collection tool, a descriptive survey model was used to determine "Death Anxiety Levels". The scale used in the research consists of two parts. In the first part of the scale, the "Personal Information Form" was used to determine the demographic information of the students. In the second part, the "Death Anxiety Scale" was used to determine the death anxiety levels of the participants. As a result of the analysis of the data obtained, it was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the gender, age, income status, marital status, chronic disease status and smoking status of the physical education and sports school students, and the death anxiety scale total and all sub-dimensions mean scores. As a result, It can be said that death anxiety emerges with the existence of human beings and is a multidimensional concept. The similarities and differences of the findings that occurred as a result of the research made show that death anxiety affects many variables. In this context, it will be essential to carry out studies in which the athletes participate to contribute to the field.

Architectural Characteristics and Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of a Historical Masonry Minaret under Different Seismic Risks and Probabilities of Exceedance

Masonry structures began to be built with the existence of human beings and are an inspiration for today’s structures. Monumental historical buildings built according to people’s religious beliefs have special importance among such structures. Despite being exposed to many natural disasters over time, such structures that have survived till today are an indispensable part of the historical heritage. Within the scope of this study, structural analyses were carried out for the historical Ulu Mosque’s minaret in Bitlis (Turkey), located in the Van Lake basin, using both on-site measurements and finite element methods. Detailed historical and architectural features were given for the minaret and the mosque. In addition to four different earthquake ground motion levels of 2%, 10%, 50% and 68%, structural analyses were deployed separately for seven different geographical locations in the same seismic risk area. Moreover, time history analyses were conducted using the acceleration records of the Van earthquake that occurred in the region. The minaret performance levels were determined by using the displacement values obtained. The study examined the different probabilities of exceedance and the changes in the regions with the same seismic risk. As a result of each structural analysis, base shear forces, displacement, period and maximum stress values were obtained for the minaret. The displacement, base shear force, and stress values increased as the exceedance probability decreased. While the same seismic and structural analysis results were obtained for the selected settlements in the same earthquake zone in this study, remarkable differences were observed for these settlements using the geographical-location-specific design spectrum.

The Realm of Death that Continues Like a Shadow, and the World that the Fictional World Portrays: The World of Novelist Iraianbu’s Avvulagam Novel

Literary records of death questioning the existence of human beings from time to time have been found in Tamil since the Sangam period. Concepts of death in the Tamil tradition have been reported in ancient Tamil literary works. In terms of fiction, the number of novels in Tamil is small compared to short stories that precede death. The relationship between human beings and death is theoretically based on the novels ‘Sagavaram’ and ‘Avvulakam’ written by V.Iraianbu are noteworthy. The myths and legends created by V.Iraianbu who seek to trace the place of death as part or all of human life through storytelling are worthwhile.

미래 불안에 대한 예측학으로서의 명리학 이해

The purpose of this study is to examine the Myonglihak as a predictive science for future anxiety through Kierkegaard's concept of anxiety. Myonglihak is a discipline that was born to reduce human anxiety about the future, and is thoroughly interested in predicting individual destiny. On the other hand, Kierkegaard, who has introduced the inner side of the existential human being as a fundamental problem of philosophy, attempts to analyze the existence of human beings through anxiety. Myonglihak tried to resolve the individual's anxiety about the future through the secularly method of Jaesung(財星, wealth) and Kwansung(官星, government service). On the other hand, Kierkegaard believed that escaping from anxiety depending on impermanent things such as wealth or government service is not ultimate, and that human being can only escape from anxiety when he establish himself as a individual in front of God. However, it is possible that overcoming anxiety through future prediction of Myeonglihak will serve as an opportunity to overcome Kierkegaard's ultimate anxiety.

Yabancı Dil Türkçe Dilbilgisi Öğretiminde 6. Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Yaşadıkları Bazı Güçlükler: Irak Örneği

With the existence of human beings on earth, certain needs have emerged. In addition to basic needs such as nutrition and shelter, communication has become one of the biggest needs. People living in different geographies communicated with each other for many reasons and started to learn each other's languages in order for this communication to be healthy and understandable. Thus, the number of foreign language learners has increased day by day. In fact, factors related to the structural and socio-cultural differences between languages make learning difficult at the stages of foreign language learning. It has been observed that students whose mother tongue is Kurdish also experience problems in learning Turkish as a foreign language. The aim of the study is to investigate the reasons for the difficulties experienced by these students, to compare the structural features between languages and to determine where the students have difficulties while learning Turkish as a foreign language. The evaluation was prepared with a descriptive method as a result of a holistic literature review and the findings. As a result of this method applied, the population of the research is Irak Duhok Stirling Primary School students who learn Turkish as a foreign language. The sample group was determined as 72 students in the 6th grade of Stirling School. An open-ended exam was administered to the students. Exam results of the students prove that they have difficulties in grammar. Keywords: Turkish, Kurdish, foreign language, grammar, learning difficulities.

Sudha Murty’s Select Fiction: A Literary Panorama of the Global Humanitarian Perspectives

The humanitarian perspective is the emblem of ethics which is studied as a fundamental doctrine in Axiology. It is one of the intrinsic values signifying the existence of human beings in the world. The present research paper ascertains the significance of the humanitarian perspectives through the textual analysis of Sudha Murty’s select novels Dollar Bahu, Gently Falls the Bakula and House of Cards. Sudha Murty being a renowned philanthropist and prolific Indian writer in Kannad and English reflects the philanthropical approach through her own real experiences about human beings in society. Humanitarian perspectives are the replica of the tendency of people behaving to one another in the form of love, affection, respect, emotion, sympathy, compassion, and humanity etc. An attempt has been made to shed light on the evaluative nature of humanitarian perspectives in Sudha Murty’s aforesaid novels which are the best examples of the humanitarian approach. The characters in the novels represent such perspectives which should be achieved by every individual in the world to make human life happier and more peaceful. Ethical values are advocated through the significance of humanitarian perspectives in the light of select novels. Ethics is the principle of human life that can be cherished through such humanitarian perspectives of the people.

Orem's nursing self-care deficit theory: A theoretical analysis focusing on its philosophical and sociological foundation.

The self-care deficit nursing theory (SCDNT) advocated by Dorothea E. Orem is widely known and used in nursing practice worldwide. However, its broader philosophical and sociological context is often ignored. The theoretical analysis of Orem's SCDNT reported in this article focuses on four aspects of the theory: its essential structure/core values, affirmation of nursing as a practical science, philosophical foundations, and the sociological context surrounding its development. By interpreting the SCDNT from a philosophical and sociological viewpoint, it can be concluded that Orem established human-to-human nursing as a science premised on the existence of human beings as the central value of the theory. Moreover, Orem emphasized that the human-to-human relationship necessarily precedes the nurse-patient interface. The new interpretation and evaluation perspectives presented in this report may further the understanding of Orem's SCDNT. Moreover, they highlight the multifaceted aspects of nursing practice and role of person-to-person relationships as the basis of the SCDNT.

SOCIAL COHESION: A TOOL TO COUNTER PANDEMIC EFFECTS

This research paper explores the role of social cohesion during the pandemic crisis. The adverse impact of pandemic crisis challenged the existence of human beings affecting social stability, economy and mental well-being of people. With the threat of the arrival of concurrent waves of pandemic the people are living in fear and anxiety. In order to understand the role of social cohesion database searches were done in Scopus, Google scholar, Research Gate and PLoS One. From the identified 120 relevant articles, 52 articles were selected and included for review in this paper. These articles helped in preparing the base for proposing 3P model. The 3P(P1= Promoting Participation by Minimizing Inequities, P2= Priority setting, P3= Policy Formulation and Planned Intervention) model suggested in the paper focuses on creating the strategy highlighting that as pandemic creates strain on socio-economic resources, the social cohesion in the society helps in dealing the crisis. The suggested model outlines the importance of social cohesion in dealing the critical situations and emphasizes that social cohesion can act as buffer for people in reducing vulnerabilities to the pandemic crisis in an effective way and crafting reality based approach to deal with crisis from time to time.
