Re-examining Tarbiyah Nabawi as a Preventive Step for the Dangers of Pluralism in the World of Education by M. Sholahuddin

“…This understanding of pluralism is certainly dangerous for the young generation of Muslims, because this understanding of pluralism instills the teachings of relativism, gives a wrong understanding of tolerance, and dwarfs Islamic law.  So to fight this pluralism, it is necessary to re-implement the Nabawiyah tarbiyah concept in the education system.  …”

Coexistence between people and polar bears supports Indigenous knowledge mobilization in wildlife management and research by Katharina M. Miller, Georgina Berg, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers of Churchill, Michael Lickers, Nickia McIvor, Dominique A. Henri

“…However, in the community of Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, people live alongside polar bears with high tolerance and reciprocal respect. Through this case study, we explored human-polar bear coexistence in the community through Indigenous voices, documented social-ecological change, and mobilized recommendations as future visions to inform inclusive management and research strategies: elevate Indigenous knowledge, support proactive management and less invasive research, cultivate a culture of coexistence, improve education and safety awareness, and protect polar bears to support tourism. …”

Multi-function supported privacy protection data aggregation scheme for V2G network by Baiji HU, Xiaojuan ZHANG, Yuancheng LI, Rongxin LAI

“…In view of the problem that the functions of the current privacy protection data aggregation scheme were insufficient to meet the increasingly rich application requirements, a multi-function supported privacy protection data aggregation (MFPDA) scheme for V2G network was proposed.By using cryptographic algorithms such as BGN, BLS, and Shamir’s secret sharing, as well as fog computing and consortium blockchain technology, multiple security functions like fault tolerance, resistance to internal attacks, batch signature verification, no need for trusted third parties, and multiple aggregation functions were integrated into one privacy protection data aggregation scheme.Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme can protect data aggregation’s security, privacy and reliability.The performance evaluation shows that the introduction of fog computing can significantly reduce the computing overhead of the control center, and the reduction rate can be as high as 66.6%; the improvement of the consortium blockchain can effectively reduce the communication and storage overhead of the system, and the reduction rate can reach 16.7% and 24.9% respectively.…”

Just noticeable distortion model based on entropy masking in DCT domain by Qionghua LUO, Hongkui WANG, Haibing YIN, Yafen XING

“…In order to improve the threshold accuracy of JND (just noticeable distortion) model in DCT (discrete cosine transform) domain and avoid cross-domain operation, entropy masking effect was introduced into DCT-based JND model.Firstly, starting from the free-energy theory and the Bayesian inference, an autoregressive model based on texture-energy similarity in DCT domain was designed to simulate the spontaneous prediction behavior of visual perception.Secondly, the mapping relationship between visual perception and prediction residuals were explored to obtain the disorder intensity in block level.Thirdly, the entropy masking effect was modeled as a JND threshold modulation factor of disorder intensity.Finally, the JND model in DCT domain for the entropy masking was proposed by fusing the contrast sensitivity function, the luminance adaptive masking, the contrast masking.Compared with the existing JND model in DCT domain, the proposed model performed all operations in DCT domain, which was more efficient and concise.The subjective and objective experimental results indicate that the proposed JND model shows greater tolerance to distortion with better perceptual quality.…”
