The use of online learning has become ubiquitous in the learning process. This study investigated the impact of different factors on students' motivation within synchronized and asynchronized learning. A quantitative research design was applied, and data was gathered using a survey method from the university students. A total of 254 dataset were analyzed and the results found that 51.9% of the students were reported to have moderate to high level of motivation, and 48.1% had low level of motivation to learning. Additionally, individual and course factors (attitudes, course difficulty and learning styles) play a beneficial effect in students' motivation within synchronized and asynchronized learning. This study concluded that individuals, course and other factors can undoubtedly influence students learning process. However, this study findings contributed to literature in educational contexts and are useful to the universities in Jordan to consider the use of hybrid learning practices to enhance the level of student's motivation.

This paper offers insights about the geopolitical perspectives of Pakistan on possible China-India ties in future. It argues that the closeness between Delhi and Beijing may bring healthy and positive effects for Pakistan on six grounds. To start with, the warmth in Indo-China ties is not likely to yield any unfavorable impact on Sino-Pakistan relationship. Secondly, the probable friendly ties between China and India can offer assistance in drawing India and Pakistan closer and avoiding any armed clash. Thirdly, the furtherance of Sino-Indian relations is likely to pave way for peace and stability in Afghanistan since the three are the main stakeholders for regional security in and around Afghanistan. Moreover, it would resultantly open vistas for regional peace. Fifthly, the likelihood of Sino-Indian friendly relations can bring greater economic prosperity and development for the region. Lastly, the probable bond between New Delhi and Beijing can infuse fresh blood into the less effective South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC)

China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a model project. The development of Gwadar port is an important part of it. This research posits the geo-economics and geopolitical importance of Gwadar port. A qualitative research approach (content analysis techniques) is used to examine the geo-economic effects of Gwadar port. This research has adopted a unique geo-economics theory approach to comprehensively examine Gwadar port's significance in China and Pakistan's economic and political relations. It follows the analysis of geographical, geopolitical, and economic determinants for the geo-economics, geopolitical, and maritime security significance of Gwadar port. Official reports and government documents are used for data analysis. The findings show that Gwadar port could be a solution to the economic security targets of China and Pakistan. China will gain economic, energy, and maritime security by finding an alternate, more secure route for the supply of oil and export of goods and better access to markets of Central Asia, Europe, and the USA. Moreover, Pakistan is expected to observe a significant rise in maritime trade capacity to support the dwindling economy. Furthermore, naval security will improve by reducing reliance on existing ports in Karachi, close to the Indian border

The unprecedented growth of the Thai air transport sector that commenced in the early 2000s attracted at least 30 new air carriers into the country’s airline market. However, a substantial number of them went bankrupt even before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world aviation industry. This study hypothesised that flawed fleet planning was behind the collapse of many carriers in Thailand. One-Two-Go Airlines, the “low-fare” carrier owned by Orient Thai Airlines, was used as a case study. The hypothesis was initially tested by evaluating whether the One-Two-Go fleet of aircraft was in line with the low-cost airline business model and aircraft selection principles commonly adopted by many low-cost carriers worldwide. The preliminary findings indicated that the way the airline planned, acquired, and managed its aircraft did not appear to be the key factor behind its collapse. Rather, a negative brand image derived from safety concerns after the crash of Flight 269 was a key factor causing the airline to cease operations

The Likert scale is one of the essential rating scales used as a measurement tool in social sciences research, especially in the qualitative approach. Unfortunately, this scale has a great deal of controversy surrounding how data is obtained from Likert questionnaires and the appropriate statistical analysis of these data. A systematic review was performed to address this issue. Research publications from various recognized national and international articles served as research objects. This paper provides a comprehensive study of the two-perspective of the rating scales based on measurement experts, statisticians, education researchers, and other practitioners. The experts’ opinions, analyses, suggestions, and solutions are obtained from journal articles, proceedings, theses, and books. After reading this article, the reader should be able to know that the accurate Likert scale produces data intervals for social sciences research. However, some requirements must be considered, specifically the composite score, midpoint, and the number of points. If these conditions are implemented, statistical methods, parametric and non- parametric, can be used to analyze the data depending on the research purpose

The concepts of halal and haram in Islamic law are intended to protect humankind’s general well-being. However, previous research focusing on halal cosmetics purchasing behaviour is very limited. Most of the previous research generally focuses on consumers’ purchasing intentions towards halal cosmetic products instead of their relative purchasing behaviour. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships between adult consumers’ halal awareness, halal knowledge, and attitudes towards their halal cosmetics purchasing behaviour. The subject of this research was adult consumers who live in the Klang Valley, Malaysia, and the sample was selected via a systematic sampling method. It was quantitative research, which was conducted by distributing a self- administrative questionnaire. The collected data was analysed using SPSS Version 28.0 and SmartPLS Version 3.3.9. The findings of the study show that halal awareness, halal knowledge, and halal attitude all have direct and significant relationships with halal cosmetics purchasing behavior. These findings can help marketers, particularly those in the halal industry, implement more appealing marketing strategies in order to increase their market share. Future research recommended that cosmetics manufacturers as well as the Malaysian government should apply for and design more high- impact educational programmes to raise halal awareness and increase halal knowledge about the benefits and trend of using halal cosmetic products in a bid to further improve the level of halal cosmetics purchasing behaviour
伊斯兰法律中的清真和哈拉姆概念旨在保护人类的普遍福祉。然而，以前关注清真化妆品购买行为的研究非常有限。以往的研究大多关注消费者对化妆品的购买意愿，而不是他们的相对购买行为。因此，本研究的主要目的是调查成年消费者的清真意识、清真知识和态度对其清真化妆品购买行为的关系。本研究的对象是居住在马来西亚巴生谷的成年消费者，样本是通过系统抽样方法选择的。这是一项定量研究，通过发放自我管理问卷进行。使用SPSSVersion 28.0和SmartPLS Version 3.3.9对收集的数据进行分析。研究结果表明，清真意识、清真知识和清真态度都与清真化妆品购买行为有直接而显著的关系。这些定义可以帮助营销人员，特别是清真行业的营销人员，实施更具吸引力的营销策略，以提高他们的市场份额。未来的研究建议，化妆品制造商和马来西亚政府应申请并设计更具影响力的教育计划，以提高清真意识，并提高清真对在abid使用清真化妆品的好处和趋势的认识，从而进一步提高清真化妆品的购买行为水平

This study demonstrates that the KLEWS teaching technique is effective in developing students’ creative abilities in STEM education with the subject of Optics. The KLEWS chart allows students to practice logical and argumentative thinking based on scientific information and evidence. Furthermore, teaching according to KLEWS chart stimulates students’ curiosity, imagination, creativity, and desire to learn more about science. The mixed methods research was carried out on 161 eleventh grade students in Vietnam (including 80 students in the control group and 81 students in the experimental group). The research evaluates students’ creative abilities by observing students’ creative expression in normal STEM’s topics without KLEWS chart in each group. Then, for the experimental group, organize teaching STEM topics using the KLEWS chart, and for the control group, organize teaching the topics of normal STEM. The results showed that the experimental group reached a high level of creativity (7.77/10 points), while the control group had a medium level of creativity (4.81/10 points). In addition, the research found that students were excited and active in STEM activities; applied the KLEWS chart to explore knowledge of STEM topics; confidently made a presentation and had the ability to use the keywords and scientific terms listed in the KLEWS chart and link them together. The findings of this study will help to clarify the effectiveness of developing students’ creative capacity in STEM education using the KLEWS chart

Despite the wealth of studies on social capital, an inclusive understanding remains necessary. With this objective in mind, this study employs a qualitative approach and, after reviewing the evidence, proposes an integrated view of social capital. From that integrated view, social capital appears to be a holistic concept: as a collection of resources, relations, and returns that can be mobilised as a result of agents’ actions and contacts in an agent-controlled system in accordance with mutually agreed-upon but reinforced rules, obligations, and norms in order to access a range of social potential. Essentially, this definition of social capital emphasises three components: resource, relation, and return, while also emphasising the importance of actions and contacts. Given how significant it is that the concept of social capital is constantly evolving and that researchers in this field have continued to study it, it is essential to comprehend the concept of social capital as a whole and to recognise its defining features. As a result, the insights gained from this article can be applied to the study of social capital in sociology, economics, and related fields, advancing theoretical frontiers

The present research aimed to explore the psychosocial reasons of beggary in relation to examine modes of beggars’ behaviour, and effect of beggary, using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The research design was Exploratory. Total sample size is 15 beggars including 7 men and 8 women. A self-constructed open ended questionnaire investigating about the psychosocial reasons, effects of beggary and modes of begging behavior was employed for data collection. The findings showed that unemployment, poverty, and lacks of professional skills were reported as major social causes. Further physical disability, old age and some serious and chronic diseases were reported as major biological causes of beggary. Psychological causes of beggary included lack of self-respect, feelings of worthless, and feelings of insecurity about their future. Beggars frequently reported to experience low self-esteem, guilt, shame, dissatisfaction, being insulted, sadness, feelings of loneliness, helplessness and inferiority. Majority of the participants reported begging in group from, showing their illness and handicapedness, as religious assists, selling cheap goods, as modes of begging. Peoples, positive attitude towards beggars mostly included sympathy, kindness, support and negative included hatred, disregard, and verbal abuses. The solutions suggested to end beggary are included governmental measures to eradicate poverty and taking care of unattended older parents who take beggary to support them

Eurasia has been increasingly integrating mainly due to the Eurasian powers’ collaboration. Uzbekistan occupies the heart of Eurasia’s heartland having borders with all Central Asian Republics including Afghanistan. The land locked nature of the country induces it to search for outlets towards regional and global markets to capitalize upon its tremendous growth for expanded development. Pakistan provides the most economical and historical outlet to Uzbekistan and to the Eurasian heartland via Afghanistan. Despite having a common past the countries of Central and South Asia are least integrated in the contemporary era. Pakistan and Uzbekistan also realize that Central and South Asian connectivity via Afghanistan will help build a solid basis for sustainable peace, stability and prosperity in Afghanistan. Uzbekistan is part of important transportation corridors linking the Eurasian heartland in all directions. Pakistan has framed “Vision Central Asia Policy” and envisaging Pakistan-Afghanistan-Central Asia Corridor to supplement CPEC in fundamentally changed regional geo-political and geo-economic circumstances. The paper mainly argues that the changed regional and global state of affairs make the regional environment conducive for enhanced connectivity between Central and South Asia via Afghanistan while Pakistan and Uzbekistan have to play leading roles necessitated by their significant geographical locations in respective regions in an altered regional scenario
