Abstract:
In case of love, lover is primary, and love is secondary. Love is available but lover is not available. Lover is unique. Love is not unique. Love is abstract and intangible. Lover is concrete and tangible in nature. Here touch is the main factor of mundane love. As such presence of concerned lover is important more and primary in nature. And lover concerned is considered as secondary category. A genuine lover loves a primary lover, never a secondary one. To the romantic soul secondary lover is not a lover at all. So, question of reciprocation, from a secondary lover, does not arise at all, sin

Abstract:
Multiclass classification in cancer diagnostics, using DNA or Gene Expression Signatures, but also classification of bacteria species fingerprints in MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry data, is challenging because of imbalanced data and the high number of dimensions with respect to the number of instances. In this study, a new oversampling technique called LICIC will be presented as a valuable instrument in countering both class imbalance, and the famous “curse of dimensionality” problem. The method enables preservation of non-linearities within the dataset, while creating new instances without addin

This is because agriculture is exposed to specific political and market conditions, which play a decisive role.

Agriculture's share of total production, export, import, added value, employment, etc., is declining globally. Also the food industry becomes less important as economic welfare increases,

We also study the impact of the adjustment mechanisms that banks use to comply with SII buffer requirements and their contribution to systemic risk.

Abstract:
Based on an in-depth analysis of artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, the authors consider the future of applying such systems to cyber attacks, and what strategies attackers are likely or less likely to use. As nuanced, complex, and overhyped as machine learning is, they argue, it remains too important to ignore.

Abstract:
Training midlevel providers (midwives, nurses, and other nondoctor providers) to conduct surgical aspiration abortions and manage medical abortions has been proposed as a way of increasing women’s access to safe abortion in developing countries.

In turn, governments should adopt management models to minimize these problems, while helping to ensure the quality of services and avoid th

Abstract:
Around the world, pandemic relief efforts saw renewed attention to state social protection and its limitations. Less attention has been paid to alternative forms of welfare provision, including zakat in Muslim countries. We ask how states and citizens engage with zakat during a crisis through a case study of the Covid-19 pandemic in Pakistan, Egypt and Morocco, drawing on novel and nationally representative survey data from 5,484 respondents. While we might expect citizens to be less motivated to pay zakat at times of personal economic hardship, we find that a large majority of the general pop
