 Abstract

This paper aims to provide an approach towards Hala Alyan's novel Salt Houses as a text that converges together the elements of living in Diaspora. However, the novel is a take on struggle between history and fiction, which creates the climax of resistance of the Palestinians living in or out of Palestine. Diaspora has been a long debated subject matter in the twentieth century as well as the twenty first century, major displacements due to war, forced exile of minorities and land confiscation. The peculiarity of a Palestinian family being dispersed into different parts of the world because of the illegal Israeli occupation on their homeland, while Alyan's storytelling captures the reader's mind to emotionally capture the atrocities they go through in their life and also her focus on portraying the family in the limelight to initiate the plight of the Palestinians in order to convey how Palestinians are denied justice

Abstract: - Every organization is interested in creating high performing workplaces where there is a pervasive performance work culture, people perform because they would like to perform better, and the organizational policies and practices help them in aligning their individual goals to organizational goals. High Performance Work Systems have been increasingly important in commercial rivalry in recent decades. This study seeks to evaluate how high-performance work systems contribute to organizational commitment when business environment change is the principal cause of external challenges. This study is useful for practitioners because it acknowledges the benefits of High-Performance Work Systems action for organizations and how it can be a source of organizational commitment for the organization. This document provides significant guidance to general managers and human resource managers in maintaining High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) in order to achieve and maintain organizational commitment. This research looks at how HPWS impacts organizational commitment and the primary characteristics that drive organizational commitment, such as work satisfaction, leadership style, and organizational environment. The purpose of this paper is to list all of the aspects that influence organizational commitment. This compilation assists HR managers in implementing, ensuring, and monitoring the elements that influence organizational commitment. As a result, they can retain and improve employee performance and company efficiency. The primary elements impacting job satisfaction include the working environment, working conditions, compensation management, promotion opportunities, job security, relationship with manager, relationship with coworkers, and management-employee connection. Employees will be more dedicated to their organization if their leaders exhibit transformational leadership behaviors. Organizational commitment is influenced by organizational environment dimensions such as training and development, communication satisfaction, performance assessment, and employee empowerment.

 Abstract

Significant cybersecurity challenges have been caused by the development of smart goods due to the recent exponential rise in attack frequency and complexity. Although the huge developments that cloud computing has brought to the corporate sector, because of its centralization, using distributed services like security systems may be difficult. Due to the large amount of data that is sent between companies and cloud service providers, both maliciously and accidentally, valuable data breaches may occur. The malicious insider becomes a crucial threat to the organization since they have more access and opportunity to produce significant damage. Unlike outsiders, insiders possess privileged and proper access to information and resources. So, we proposes a machine learning-based system for insider threat detection and classification, which identifies various anomalous occurrences that may point to anomalies and security problems associated with privilege escalation. Multiple studies have been presented regarding detecting irregularities and vulnerabilities in network systems to find security flaws or threats involving privilege escalation. But these studies lack the proper identification of the attacks. We conclude that incorporating more than one machine learning algorithm can obtain a stronger classification in multiple internal attacks.

 Abstract

Nowadays Internet of Things (IoT) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques are used in different area of research for monitoring, collecting and analysis data from remote locations. Due to the vast increase in global industrial output, rural to urban drift and the over-utilization of land and sea resources, the quality of water available to people has deteriorated greatly. The high use of fertilizers in farms and also other chemicals in sectors such as mining and construction have contributed immensely to the overall reduction of water quality globally. Water is an essential need for human survival and therefore there must be mechanisms put in place to vigorously test the quality of water that made available for drinking in town and city articulated supplies and as well as the rivers, creeks and shoreline that surround our towns and cities. The availability of good quality water is paramount in preventing outbreaks of water-borne diseases as well as improving the quality of life. Fiji Islands are located in the vast Paci?c Ocean which requires a frequent data collecting network for the water quality monitoring and IoT and RS can improve the existing measurement. This paper presents a smart water quality monitoring system for Fiji, using IoT and remote sensing technology.

It is the rapid changes in the education system and teaching methods that affect students. This situation requires students to learn more effectively and learn more independently (Winters, Greene, & Costich, 2008). To achieve this goal, students need to be trained to improve their skills to select the most appropriate learning strategy (Azevedo and Cornley, 2004). If this is not done correctly, it will affect students' motivation to learn and may eventually cause them to lose interest in the subjects they are learning. The motivation of students to be open-minded is also an important aspect in statistics teaching. Therefore, motivation is essential to successfully master the challenges of the learning environment. Could behaviors important for academic motivation be key to students' ability to complete difficult tasks and remain in difficult situations for extended periods of time? The ability to face the challenges of everyday school life. The purpose of this article is to highlight the actual statistical problems faced by the students of Secondary School, Anand Town, so that the students' problems can be solved systematically for the benefit of the teacher, students and parents. This study provides a logical explanation to identify the real problems and challenges faced by students related to learning statistics and how teachers and parents have a great impact on a child's learning. Keywords: statistics, high school, student, teacher.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles underneath the skin become blocked. Chamomile oil is a better treatment option for acne. Microspheres are made of synthetic and biodegradable polymers is a key to delivering the drug to the site of treatment in a controlled manner. The purpose of this is to formulate and evaluate chamomile microsphere loaded cream for enhanced topical delivery. The ionotropic gelation technique used to prepare the microsphere of Chamomile in which sodium alginate is used as polymer and calcium chloride as cross linker. The particle size and the entrapment efficiency of the microsphere formulation M1 and M2 was a consideration when evaluating it. The microsphere formulation that was optimized i.e M1 was put into cream that contained neem extract. It is found that, as polymer concentration increases particle size and entrapment efficiency also increases. Based on this study, it was concluded that the cream filled with Chamomile microspheres meets all the requirements of dosage forms that release the active ingredient in a controlled manner and studies encourage further clinical follow up and long term stability studies with this formulation.
