Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsSocial Cohesion: Its Meaning and ComplexitiesItumeleng Mekoa, Dauda BusariThe concept Social cohesion is relative and a somewhat difficult concept to define. Many scholars have offered varying degree of definitions but the main challenge noticed in the definition, is the multiple definitions based on individual scholar’s orientation or ideology. Another problem poised by these definitions of the concept is that of multi-level and multi-dimensional nature. Contemporary scholars of social … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2018 · 9,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCRITERIA FOR THE COMPLEXITY OF SUCCESSIVE ASTRONOMICAL PARADIGMSPanagiotis Papaspirou, Kostas Karamanos, Xenophon MoussasWe investigate the complexity of three successive astronomical paradigms in the science of Physics, namely the Ptolemaic paradigm, the Copernican paradigm and the Keplerian paradigm and mention briefly some characteristic facts about the colossal Newtonian paradigm. This complexity can be understood according to five criteria, as proposed by Thomas Kuhn, the father of the epistemological notion of the paradigm, as … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2014 · 8,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDECOUPLING BETWEEN TORSION AND MAGNETIC FIELDS IN BOUNCING COSMOLOGY AND GALACTIC DYNAMO SEEDSL. C. Garcia de Andrade, A. FerrandezRecently Salim et al. (2007), have shown that galactic dynamo seeds can be possibly attainable in bouncing cosmological models with QED Lagrangeans. In this study we generalise their result by include torsion of spacetime in bouncing cosmology. It is shown that by considering a semi-minimal photon-torsion coupling and a Lagrangean of the type RF2 it is possible to find a … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2014 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-Participation Success Factors: A Systematic Literature ReviewElgamar Syam, Alawiyah Abd Wahab, Abdullah HusinE-participation which has emerged from the development of electronic government, is a very interesting phenomenon to study today. However, when e-participation was first introduced, various problems arose, such as the reluctance of citizens to use e-participation as a system that was considered suitable to carry out the process of public participation in government. This problem encourages many researchers to find … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 9 · 10 Jul 2024 · 5,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAttribute Reduction in Bipolar Intuitionistic Fuzzy Relation SystemWeiyuan Wang, Qian WangBipolar intuitionistic fuzzy relation system (BIFRS) effectively characterize the bipolarity in real-world data by introducing positive and negative membership and non-membership degrees. To address redundancy caused by high-dimensional attributes, this paper proposes an attribute reduction method based on bipolar intuitionistic discernibility matrices. By constructing positive discernibility matrix M+∗ matrix M−∗ and negative discernibility , we systematically identify the minimal attribute … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 16 Jul 2026 · 1,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing User Satisfaction and System Trust through Gamification in E-Commerce PlatformsMontela Livanto, Viany Utami TjhinThe increasing adoption of gamification in e-commerce platforms has significantly transformed how people use, engage, and develop their trust in digital systems. Despite this, few empirical studies have so far investigated the integration of gamification with the DeLong and McLean IS Success Model to develop theories of user satisfaction and system trust in emerging markets. This study examines the influence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2026 · 1,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractICT-Based Blended Learningin the Information Age: AnApproach for Enhanced Learning MotivationFayez Khazalah, Yousef Aljaraideh, Anas Husain, Ahmad RabeeBlended Learning (BL) learning has emerged as a transformative approach in higher education, combining traditional face-to-face instruction with the advantages of online learning to enhance the educational process. BL has recently relied on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to facilitate its implementation and usefulness. This study relies on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to demonstrate the potential of ICT-based BL to support … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 12 · 26 Jan 2026 · 1,575 accessesView PDFCite
