The formed adsorbent was characterized using a range of techniques, including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), and zeta potential methods. Additionally, adsorption tests were conducted to examine the impacts of MET concentration, pH, contact duration, and adsorbent dosage. The present results indicated a removal effectiveness of around 80.2% for MET under the following conditions: pH 6, 100 mg of adsorbent, a drug concentration of 100 mg/L, and shaking for 240 minutes. The adsorption process was thoroughly investigated using the kinetic and isothermal models. The Langmuir model and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model were found to be the best fits to the MET adsorption at 298 K. Additionally, the data demonstrated the high adsorption capacity of the PEDOT adsorbent at 86.80 mg/g for adsorption of MET. Analysis using thermodynamics showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. The adsorbent exhibited exceptional regenerative properties, allowing for reuse throughout five cycles. These findings underscore the efficacy of PEDOT as an absorbent for the efficient adsorption of MET from aqueous solutions.","PeriodicalId":46680,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Students","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ojs.cihanrtv.com/index.php/public/article/download/142/110/2801","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147893609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to perform molecular identification and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of cyanobacteria from four springs in Khurmal-Halabja, in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq between September 2024 and February 2025. During this study period, physicochemical parameters such as temperature, pH, and nutrient levels were determined and monitored. Isolates of cyanobacteria were cultured on BG-11 medium, and through morphological studies combined with 16S rRNA gene sequencing, nine species were identified, including Nostoc commune, Phormidium autumnale (Microcoleus autumnais), Aphanothece caldariorum, Microcoleus vaginatus, Microcoleus pseudoautumnalis, Gloeocapsa rupicola, Limnothrix planktonica, Thermocoleostomius sinensis, and Pseudanabaena yagii. Ethanol extracts from four selected species were tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli by the agar well diffusion method. Microcoleus pseudoautumnalis exhibited the strongest activity, showing a 16-mm inhibition zone against Staphylococcus aureus while Microcoleus vaginatus had a broader spectrum of activity. There was greater susceptibility demonstrated by Gram-positive strains compared to Gram-negative strains. The research illustrates that cyst-forming cyanobacteria from Khurmal may be relevant for biotechnological and ecological applications.","PeriodicalId":46680,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Students","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ojs.cihanrtv.com/index.php/public/article/download/109/97/2789","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147914568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They influence each other. In this paper we are only concern with the influence of socio-economic Background on Education and not influence of education or socio-economic background of the child. Scholars are unanimous on the view that to a every large extent socio-economic background affects a child educational achievements. The type of home the child is brought up affects his success or failure so also the type of school the child attends affects his achievement in education as there are low and high quality schools. In Nigeria materials factors are overwhelming in determining educational achievement. No matter how clever a child is, if there is no adequate provision of educational materials for learning the child performance will be minimal. It is the consensus of scholars that the home, environment, type of schools one attends, provision of materials and the interest and encouragement given to the child affects his achievement. It is the parents of high socio-economic background that provide adequately for their children hence high educational achievement from their children.The paper recommended that, Government should by Act of Parliament put in place a law that will protect the Child's Right to Education so that any child that is born in Nigeria must have access to education from primary to secondary.","PeriodicalId":46680,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Students","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://cambridgeresearchpub.com/ijarss/article/download/900/857","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147921724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduced by Everett Rogers, Diffusion of Innovations postulates that an innovation is initiated within a specific group of people. Then, it is diffused via specific channels across the larger cultural context. Stressing the importance of public speaking for Disney’s employees can be an innovation that matches Disney’s pre-existing system, which would require fewer changes and would be easy to adopt. Taken as a whole, what this conceptual and theoretical analysis demonstrates is that public speaking has emerged as a vital skill within The Walt Disney Company due to the innovative nature of its organizational environment, which emphasizes storytelling, transformation and global collaboration. At its core, Disney is a brand built on the power of stories that connect with audiences across cultural and generational boundaries. This narrative-driven focus extends beyond its films and theme parks to its internal and external operations, where public speaking plays a critical role in shaping the company’s image, inspiring employees and fostering meaningful stakeholder engagement.","PeriodicalId":46680,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Students","volume":"2 1","pages":"11-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147913215","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}

In this context, the akad salam, a deferred sale contract in Islamic law, becomes increasingly relevant, particularly within the framework of the Compilation of Sharia Economic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Ekonomi Syariah, KHES). This study aims to examine the validity and relevance of akad salam in online sales based on KHES provisions and to evaluate the compatibility of e-commerce practices with the principles of fiqh muamalah. Employing a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, this research identifies, evaluates, and synthesizes scholarly literature published within the last five years that discusses akad salam, digital transactions, and Sharia economic regulations. The findings indicate that akad salam can be legally applied in online transactions, provided that essential conditions such as clarity of goods, delivery schedule, and upfront payment are fulfilled. However, gaps in understanding among business actors and limitations in digital regulations accommodating Sharia principles remain evident. This article contributes to the field by constructing a conceptual framework that integrates KHES with electronic transaction regulations and offers recommendations for policy enhancement, business education, and future research directions in the development of Sharia-compliant digital commerce.","PeriodicalId":46680,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Students","volume":"2 2","pages":"375-384"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://e.journal.zabagsqupublish.com/index.php/zijis/article/download/61/32","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147919250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
