The Blue Man as a Racial Amalgamation of the American: Jeans Toomer’s Perception of Racism and National Identity in “Blue Meridian” Rana Jaber Obaid, Asst. Lecturer, The General Directorate of Education at Al- Qadisiayah Province, Email: Rana.jabir11@yahoo.com Identity crisis has remained the main concern for African-American poets in all the poetic genres. It conveys the physical and mental bondage associated with their political, social, and economic environment. African American poetry focuses on the way such an environment comes to impede their spiritual as well as physical freedom. African-American poets seek an identity that gives meaning to their existence. This research examines identity and sheds light on African-American poetry. “The Blue Meridian” is a perfect demarcation of the African-Americans hurtful experience with the oppression that aroused their identity crisis. The blacks have been dominated and marginalized by the white culture. Many African American poets, like Jeans Toomer, deals with the issue of identity; either to submit for the prevailing culture or to hold their color and their past as the descendants of the earlier slaves. In his writing, Toomer has involved in the theme of identity that came to the surface due to racial discrimination and racism. In “Blue Meridian,” Toomer depicts the social realities of the blacks encountered within a world dominated by white values and ideologies in which they are marginalized. Pages 166 to 174 |

Prospector Owner-Manager and Innovation Performance of manufacturing SMEs: moderation role of technology turbulence Abdeslam Hassani1,1Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and Institut de Recherche sur les PME à Trois-Rivières. Corresponding Author Email: Abdeslam.Hassani@uqtr.ca The succes of small and medium-sized entreprises (SMEs) depends on innovation performance wich helps them to remain competitive. To be innovative in a technology turbulence context, SMEs have to adopt prospective strategy posture to create opportunities and transform them in innovative projects. Although several studies highlight the link between the entrepreneur profiles and innovation, there are a few studies that investigate the relationship between prospector owner-manager and innovation performance in a Canadian technology turbulence context. This study is concerned with conceptual model development, which examines the prospector owner-manager influence on the innovation performance of SMEs in Quebec. A total of 533 questionnaires were distributed to SMEs and 140 final questionnaires were usable. Using the structural equation modelling approach, the findings reveal that prospector owner-manager significantly influences innovation performance of SMEs in Quebec. Interestingly, the results had shown that the technological turbulence moderate the relationship between prospector owner-manager and innovation performance. It’s also highlight that the young owner-manager of SMEs manufacturing is more innovative in technology turbulence context. Based on the results, it can be summarised that to innovate and be competitive, the managers of SMEs need to adopt a prospective and proactive strategy and give more attention to gather and analyse the technological information.

Contractual Imbalance in Mobile Service Contracts during the Contract Execution, A Comparative Study Mahmoud Fayyad1, Abdel Raouf Al-Sinnawi2, Rannen Al-Nazir3, 1Associate Professor, College of Law, University of Sharjah. Orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4525-7876, 2Associate Professor, College of Law, Al-Quds University, 3Legal advisor, Palestinian Land Authority. Email: 1Mfayyad@sharjah.ac.ae, 2asinnawi@staff.alquds.edu, 3raneen98@hotmail.com This research identified the indicators of contractual imbalance in mobile phone service contracts during the contract execution phase in Palestine compared to some Arab States and Western standards. Literature was reviewed to establish the key dimensions that affect this imbalance and identify how to rebalance these relations. A theoretical framework was developed and identified. Standard contracts issued by mobile phone companies in Palestine were investigated to examine the compatibility of these contracts with international best practices. The study showed that mobile phone companies arbitrarily abuse their legal status and draw up standard contracts that vest them with the right to amend contractual terms by unilateral will. Without granting subscribers the same right, companies unilaterally terminate the contract if subscribers breach any of their contractual obligations. Companies impose financial obligations on subscribers if they violate contractual obligations without compliance with legally prescribed checks and balances. The study demonstrated that these practices breach many relevant legislative provisions. The research findings and a literature review resulted in many recommendations that might serve as a clear guide for governmental representatives and decision-makers in the communication sector to ensure the contractual relationship's fairness during the contract execution phase.

Towards Granting of Legal Personality to Autonomous Robots in the UAE Shuq Hussein1, Mahmoud Fayyad2, 1Assistant Prof, College of Law, University of Dubai, UAE, 2Associate Prof. College of Law, University of Sharjah, UAE, Email: *1sshweki@ud.ac.ae, 2 mfayyad@sharjah.ac.ae DOI: 10.53333/IJICC2013/17161 The Dubai Digital Government launched its recent guidelines, which call for artificial intelligence systems to be subject to legal accountability. This study discusses the extent to which autonomous robots can be granted legal personality in UAE law and the consistency of this approach with the provisions of Islamic jurisprudence. This research paper answered two main questions: First, the extent to which these guidelines are considered the beginning of work on granting legal personality to AI systems in the UAE. Second, what form of legal personality can be given to autonomous robots in UAE law to be consistent with the provisions of Islamic jurisprudence as a primary source of legislation in the country? The research concluded the impossibility of considering autonomous robots as a "thing" and classifying them within the concept of "persons." It also concluded that it is possible to give them legal personality according to two legislative solutions: granting them partial or incomplete performance eligibility like minors.

Culture-based design is a creative activity with a deep national, historical and contemporary imprint. Today's world is an age of integration and open diversification, where new design and cultural concepts are constantly updated, but the national characteristics of design are gradually weakened. However, there is a lack of reviews on culture-based ceramic design from different perspectives. To this end, the author aims to analyze and review the relevant literature published in quality journals included by SCI-Expanded, SSCI, A&HCI, by searching from WOS database. The author reviews research on the principles, methods, values and processes of heritage and innovation in porcelains in order to achieve two main objectives. On the one hand, current literature on culture-based porcelain design is presented and analyzed so that researchers can draw on and optimize these theories and apply them to areas of interest in design. On the other hand, the author explores the literature on culture-based porcelain design in order to provide the direction for the better transmission and innovation of porcelains originating from different dynasties as well as types of porcelains. Accordingly, the author reports on the progress of research on culture-based ceramic design and provides a strategy for design and research by researchers. Pages 273 to 295 |

Methodology of Arent Jan Wensinck Towards Prophetic Tradition: An Analysis Ahmad Yunus Mohd Noor1*, Asmilyia Mohd Mokhtar2, Dahlila Putri Dahnil3, 1 Senior Lecturer at Research Centre for Theology and Philosophy, Faculty of Islamic Studies, and Associate Research Fellow at the Institute of Islam Hadhari, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600, BANGI, Selangor, Malaysia, 2Ph.D. candidate at Faculty of Major Languages Study, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, Bandar Baru Nilai, 71800, NILAI, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, 3Senior Lecturer at Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600, BANGI, Selangor, Malaysia, email: 1a_yunus@ukm.edu.my*(Corresponding author) 2asmilyia24@gmail.com, 3dahlila@ukm.edu.my Arent Jan Wensinck is considered one of the prominent Western scholars in the contemporary Orientalist world. He has produced numerous intellectual sources comprehensively. This paper aims to analyze A.J. Wensinck’s views on dealing with prophetic tradition. This was investigated from his thoughtful and broad understanding of its principle and underlying purpose. The essential understanding of the principle of prophetic tradition was analytically discussed in his magnum opus such as; Mohammed and the Jews in Medina, A Handbook of Muhammadan, The Muslim Creed Its Genesis and Historical Development and Al-Mu’jam al-Mufahras li Alfaz Al-Hadis An-Nabawi. The finding shows that A.J. Wensinck’s discussion on prophetic tradition emphasized on relevance to contemporary practice and the modern context of Islam. It set forth an important framework and methodology for the compilation of prophetic tradition, which is the method used in the arrangement of the word based on the alphabet in the sound contained in the hadith narration, whether based on nouns or verbs. That’s the great contribution of A.J. Wensinck towards the Islamic world and is considered the main reference for researchers in the Science of Hadith. However, to some extent, his methodology has been criticized by several prominent Muslim scholars due to the contradiction between his methodology and Islamic principal methodology.

How Shall I Impart the Gods’ Decree? Musical Rhetoric in Dido and Aeneas Edna Holywell, University of London In c. 1689 Dido and Aeneas was performed at Josias Priest’s Chelsea school for young gentlewomen possibly as a revival. By 1930 an arrangement for brass band of ‘When I am laid in Earth’ (Dido’s lament) had become part of the U.K. annual Remembrance Sunday service a tradition which continues today. This article explores why this relatively succinct piece of music still has so much significance. It argues that a large part of the opera’s appeal arises out of discrepancies between Tate’s implied affects and those suggested by Purcell’s musico-rhetorical settings considering not only instances when the music supports or conforms to Dido’s poetic text but also occasions when Purcell’s music contradicts Tate’s text — topoi underlying the poetic narrative vs musical portrayal. Since mechanisms of affective musical topoi representation have changed over time the article interprets source alterations as rhizomatic framings ascertaining that source variation reflects contemporary understandings or ‘meanings’ which were influenced by the cultural, socio-political and musico-historical contexts in which they were created. The article calls for consideration of Dido’s surviving sources not as contaminated but from a rhetorical perspective extracting evidence to changing conventions of musical-rhetoric and its relationship to Affekt.

Virtuality, Psychotherapy and Psychoactive Substances as Tools for Emotional Well-being Sandra Cuevas1, Reynaldo Thompson2, 1DIAC (Doctorado Interinstitucional en Arte y Cultura), 2UdG (Universidad de Guadalajara), Ugto (Universidad de Guanajuato) Guanajuato, México, 1sandra.cuevastorres@gmail.com, 2thompson@ugto.mx In the confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainty about the future increased, and resulted in the perception of a crisis scenario manifested in high levels of stress and emotional instability. A determining factor in this context was the migration of activities to virtual platforms. It was possible to identify the scope and influence, on the one hand of virtuality itself, through this phenomenon, and on the other, the shape and scope of the art which created a route of escape from physical and material reality. What it created was a feasible form of transition to other realities, particularly on portals and devices to which art opens its doors. The new exposure also leads to what could be ways of approaching altered states of consciousness (or high consciousness) or frequencies which one may, as has been proven, also possibly access through meditation or types of music or through consumption of psychoactive substances. Therefore, it is possible to propose a paradigm shift in the responsible use of psychoactive substances by integrating that knowledge with programs of virtually enhanced psychotherapeutic engagement. These programs include guided meditation, music and psychedelic visuals, to name a few. Such tools positively stimulate a transition from the way of life of which we form a part to another one of controlled environments. This makes it possible for us to appropriate, explore or verify the benefits that have been conferred on these tools of the mind only in isolation. Pages 426 to 436 |

However, evolving social and aesthetic perceptions are challenging conventional design methods, necessitating inventive design solutions.The digital and intelligent age has created numerous advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence and computer graphics computing, which have unlocked fresh prospects in the design domain. AIGC (Artificial Intelligence and Graphics Computing) has emerged as a research area of interest in design, centred on the convergence of artificial intelligence and graphics computing. In this study, we utilise AIGC technology along with design theory and modern technological tools to investigate the innovative potential of Yixing Zisha design. Our study incorporates artificial intelligence, graphics computing, and idea generation for achieving innovation and customisation in Zisha design. As a result, we evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of this technique in the domain of Yixing Zisha teapot design. The objective of this research is to augment the design of Yixing Zisha teapots, introducing more imaginative options and propelling their development. The assessment of the AIGC technique's efficacy will steer subsequent research and practice, boosting innovation and progress in Yixing Zisha teapot design. Pages 437 to 454 |

Triad of Employee Performance: Leadership, Organizational Support, and Well-Being Muk Kuang, Yuliana Anggraini, Derliwanti, Abdul Rohman, Management Department, BINUS Business School Master Program, Bina Nusantara University, Jakarta, Indonesia, Email: muk.kuang@binus.ac.id; yuliana.anggraini@binus.ac.id; derliwanti@binus.ac.id; abdul.rohman@binus.ac.id DOI: 10.53333/IJICC2013/17208 This research explores the critical determinants of employee performance in the post-pandemic retail sector, focusing on empowering leadership, perceived organizational support, and employee psychological well-being. The study presents a comprehensive framework that clarifies the interaction between these constructs and their impact on employee performance. The results, obtained from a quantitative analysis using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), reveal that while empowering leadership does not directly impact employee performance, it significantly influences employee psychological well-being, thereby indirectly affecting employee performance. In addition, perceived organizational support not only indirectly influences employee performance through its positive effect on employee psychological well-being but also has a direct positive impact on employee performance. Thus, both empowering leadership and strong perceived organizational support, are found to enhance employee performance, with employee psychological well-being playing a significant mediating role in these relationships. These findings offer valuable insights for the retail sector to navigate the evolving challenges in a post-pandemic world, providing a solid theoretical framework and practical strategies to enhance employee performance.

The Role of Stakeholders in Waste Handling Against the Development of Tourism on Bawean Island Samwil1, Gatot Ciptadi2, Marjono³, Rosihan Asmara⁴, 1,2,3,4 Postgraduate Study of Environmental Science Doctoral Program, Brawijaya University, Malang, Indonesia, Email : samwil@student.ub.ac.id 1 This study aims to analyze and find a regional waste management system through the role of stakeholders in waste management and tourism development on Bawean Island. Relevant stakeholders are important elements and have main responsibilities in waste management and tourism to ensure sustainable tourism development. This study uses qualitative research with a case study approach. The focus of this research is on the role of the Gresik district government in waste management and Bawean Island tourism, as well as other stakeholders such as non-governmental organizations, entrepreneurs, and the community. The data in this study were collected through observation and interviews, and then the data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results showed that there was a disintegration of the role of stakeholders in waste management on Bawean Island, which had an impact on tourism development. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system in the form of circular integration of the roles of stakeholders in waste management on Bawean Island through this system, which makes it possible to form an optimal waste management framework that contributes directly to the development of Bawean Island tourism.

Physis is Allah (SWT’s) Doctor in Every One of Us Prof Rashid Bhikha, Ibn Sina Institute of Tibb, Johannesburg, South Africa; rashidb@tibb.co.za The genetic wisdom of Physis was recognised by traditional systems of medicine for more than a few thousand years and was also hypothesised by Hippocrates, the father of medicine as Vis Medicatrix Naturae. Physis also highlights the perfection of creation in the maintenance and restoration of health between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of every individual, at a cellular/sub-cellular level, between all the organs and systems of the body, by constantly monitoring and adjusting the millions of biochemical and physiological pathways that are genetically designed. Physis within the context of the Qur’an and Sunnah comes into effect from the moment the sperm and egg cells unite, whereas the soul is divinely brought into the foetus, only after approximately four months. The paper elaborates on the secular, materialistic, and anti-religious values of the current Western system has resulted in Western medicine being unaffordable and ineffective, and also the training of Western doctors does not include the role of physis. Of greater concern is prescribing, or taking Western medication, results not only harming ourselves, but also going against the blessing of Physis that Allah (SWT) has bestowed us with.
