In addition to the roots of extremism in the three religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This research studies the role and effects of the 9/11 attacks on the United States as a turning point in modern history and a link between extremism, violence, and global jihad. Al Qaeda as a paradigm. This study uses the descriptive narrative method to describe the characteristics and origins of Islamic extremism and study the attributes of far-right British extremist groups in the UK as a study case. The narrative approach is selected because it is often used to understand individuals and groups better and describe a phenomenon. This study will prove the extent to which extremism directly affects societies and individuals. It also will reveal that extremism often flourishes in environments characterized by social and economic disparities, political instability, ideological polarization, and undemocratic governments. Moreover, the role played by electronic platforms and social networking sites, in addition to mosques and religious sermons, works to facilitate the spread of extremism. Extremist ideologies emerge as a worrying contemporary challenge. The thesis emphasizes the importance of precise and context-specific strategies to combat extremism, emphasizing the need for collaboration between governments, civil society, and technology providers. In conclusion, this research contributes to the academic understanding of extremism, provides a general knowledge of its motivations, and gives recommendations to face it. By comprehensively addressing the root causes and manifestations of extremism, it advocates for holistic approaches that foster inclusivity, education, and social cohesion as essential components in mitigating the impact of extremist ideologies on global society.","PeriodicalId":45345,"journal":{"name":"Migration Letters","volume":"747 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139179144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This reward circuit can be modified to the extent that the consumption of any drug is definitively avoided. Objective: To determine the frequency of drug use among adults in therapeutic communities in Ecuador. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study with a sample of 480 intentionally selected adult drug users in Ecuador, by non-probabilistic sampling, with a 95% confidence interval. Results: Concerning the frequency of consumption of drugs such as tobacco, alcohol, coca, inhalants, tranquilizers, hallucinogens and opioids, the level of significance with the sociodemographic variables of the study is less than 0.05, so the variables are dependent, and there is a significant relationship between them.

The research adopts a qualitative methodology, supported by deductive, inductive and bibliographic methods. These approaches provide essential information for the development of research. The findings reveal that some companies, when incorporated with the SRI, lack adequate tax management, managing it empirically. Business transactions result in monthly losses, with high or no VAT returns. In addition, the payment of the 2% income tax during the semester is done inadequately due to ignorance of the necessary financial statements. Microenterprises in La Esperanza lack an understanding of financial tools, resulting in an inability to plan for the long term. These findings highlight internal weaknesses, evidencing that financial management is limited to a basic budget, resulting in monthly losses.","PeriodicalId":45345,"journal":{"name":"Migration Letters","volume":"229 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139180139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample is random and the sample size reaches 235 university students. The study is based on a quantitative approach, its level of depth is descriptive and inferential, with a prospective, cross-sectional and non-experimental register. The Teaching Climate Scale Conducive to University Student Learning [ECAFEU] was used as a data collection instrument. The main results, after the respective factor analysis, give evidence of dimensional validity, whose factor loads for each item are significant to the corresponding factor. As a methodological strategy, the ECAFEU index is defined, from which 3 types of perception are identified, these being: positive, neutral or negative, the concept of dominance is also considered, referring to the dominant and descended dimension, in such a way as to generate a tool for guidance in decision-making. Regarding those students categorized as having a positive perception, the dominant dimension is dialogic communication between teachers and students, and the most descended dimension is represented by Environmental Conditions. The teaching modality (day and evening) is considered as a study factor, establishing significant effects in the configuration of dominance and in the ECAFEU index.","PeriodicalId":45345,"journal":{"name":"Migration Letters","volume":"224 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139180141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The historical visual communication perspective in the United Arab Emirates encompasses traditional crafts and artworks and the contemporary digital media and design age. This qualitative research examines the complex interplay between visual communication and Emirati popular culture, investigating how they mutually shape each other. This study utilizes an extensive review of scholarly literature to elucidate the persistent correlation existing in visual communication and the development of popular culture in the United Arab Emirates. The results indicate that the amalgamation of visual communication and popular culture in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) produces favorable results, enhancing the cultural environment with more vibrancy and resonance.
