The study on the Identity and Wisdom of Decorative Patterns on the Religious Buildings in Keng Tung, Republic of the Union of Myanmar is a study and analysis of the forms and patterns of the decorations on religious buildings in Keng Tung, Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Qualitative research methods were used in collecting the documents and field research data in Keng Tung. The populations of the study were experts, practitioners and related people in Keng Tung. The research tools used were surveys, observations and interviews. The data was analysed using ideology on identity and wisdom, structural-functional theory and cultural-diffusion theory. The result was presented using descriptive analysis. From this study it was found that most production of the decorative patterns on religious buildings is based on the wisdom of local sculptors that had been passed down. Burmese sculptors played an important role in the creation of the religious buildings decorations in recent eras, especially those from Mandalay. The identity of the patterns of religious buildings in Keng Tung can be categorised into two major categories of local Keng Tung patterns. This group of patterns originates from the traditional art form of Keng Tung, influenced by the Lanna arts. During the 21^st – 24^th Buddhist centuries, traditional patterns from the Tai Khoen people mixed in with the Lanna influence and led to the kind of art that consists of the relationship between history, society and culture.

Mahmoud A. M. Abdel-Fattah^a*, Khalil M. I. Alawnah^b, ^aBirzeit University, Palestine, ^bMinistry of Education, Palestine, Email: ^a*mfatah@birzeit.edu, ^bkhalil.alawni@yahoo.com

The linguistic features of sign languages are as intricate as those of spoken languages and in many cases, there are common universal features that they share. Modality is one important feature that sign and spoken languages exhibit, yet modality in sign languages differs from spoken languages in certain basic ways: grammatical, semantic, and pragmatic. This research is an attempt to investigate modality in Palestinian Sign Language, in particular, and Arabic Sign Language, in general, using a descriptive approach by looking at the most frequent “modal devices” used in an endeavour to explore how basic modal meanings are expressed in Palestinian Sign Language. Data sources include but are not limited to Palestinian and Arabic Sign Language Dictionaries and sign user informants with various backgrounds. In order to identify the signs that express the meanings and to trace their possible motivations and their relation to other similar signs, data will be compared to some of the current signs that may have developed in the Arab world. The study will also investigate the characteristics of modality to arrive at an understanding to its function and examine how signs express modality in general, in an attempt to provide insights into sign language grammar.

Juma Abed Fayadh, Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research /Dijlah University College/ Department of Law, Email: lawyer_mja@yahoo.com

This study aimed to clarify the extent of authentic judicial presumption of criminal proof, and the authority limits of taking the presumptions as the evidence and determine the extent of authoritative judicial presumption in criminal prosecution. The study followed a descriptive approach through the literature review of theoretical and previous studies that addressed both the context of presumptions and evidence penal code, and the analytical method through the discussion of the authoritative context presumptions’ proof penal legislation, and the comparative approach through the identification of the position of each seceral legislature proof presumptions. The results of the study showed that the judicial presumption is not sufficient alone as evidence that can be invoked in conviction or innocence but is indirect evidence that contributes to the strengthening of the sentence of conviction. The study recommended the importance of considering the crucial judicial case, which has a definite scientific basis such as genetic imprint, as crucial evidence in the judgment of conviction or innocence, in view of the fact that this presumption of scientific evidence is unquestionable in all cases.

This research aims to investigate corporate performance results (financial performance, non-financial performance and operational performance) based on driving forces and contributing factors of supply chain integration (SCI), including three types of factors: corporate-level factors, internal factors-stimulus The organizational factors and environmental factors of SCI in Saudi industrial companies, the research objects include industrial companies operating in the eastern provinces of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (11 provinces). For the purposes of testing the hypotheses of the study and the validity of its model, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis was used based on the AMOS21 program. One of the most important contributions of the current study is that it gathered the drivers and enablers of SCI in its various aspects, as well as the dimensions of the SCI measurement and finally the outcomes of the firms' performance, while integrating all of these elements into one common topic. The study found that supply chain integration is always driven by drivers and enablers: firm-level factors, inter-organizational factors, and environmental factors that stimulate the SCI in firms, In addition, SCI and all its elements (9 sub-dimensions) affect the company's performance results (financial performance, non-financial performance and operational performance) in some way. In addition, the conclusion of this article is that integration plays an important role in improving performance through three different factors, but the maturity of integration may be directly related to performance. In addition, the study also found that people’s desire for improvement and environmental factors prompted Saudi organizations to integrate with partners to achieve desired results. The study recommended working on raising the level of trust, honesty, commitment, and concern for the interest of each party from the supply chain to maintain a good level of SCI. The paper presented some recommendations as proposals for further study, while identifying some areas for future studies. Pages 74 to 113

Rankings play a key role as a transparency tool of market governance for higher education. Despite the increasing interest in these mechanisms, our academic understanding is limited on the role rankings play as a tool of governance and the construction of perceptions through these transparency tools. The current empirical study attempts to critically analyse the introduction of rankings in business education and the responses of business schools to this mechanism in a relatively newly introduced ranking system for the Pakistan higher education sector. The current study examines how higher education commission Pakistan rankings have shaped perceptions of the national business education market and competition among Pakistani business schools through two significant processes: shaping comparability by constructing a perception of ‘product’ and the ‘customer’ in Pakistani market, and by shaping mechanisms for competition among Pakistani business schools. This suggests that higher education commission rankings play an important role in constructing competition and forming a national market for business schools in Pakistan, thus contributing to what can be termed as the ‘marketisation’ of the business education sector.

Meaningful Parental Contribution to Ensure Children’s Freedom of Expression at Early Ages: A Sustainable Development Approach

Sadruddin Bahadur Qutoshi, Department of Educational Development, Karakorum International University, Gilgit 15100, Pakistan. Email: Sadruddin.qutoshi@kiu.edu.pk

The cultural practices of Gilgit-Baltistan appeared to be discouraging children un/consciously in expressing their feelings, emotions, and views freely in front of their parents including other elders that create hindrance for the children to face people and situations even at their later years.  Children in such situations may face with developmental delays and speech issues that could lead towards a kind of autism. The purpose of this study was to explore parents’ practices and perceptions about their meaningful contribution towards children’ freedom of expression and its effects on sustainable development of their societies. The researcher used focus group discussions and in/formal observations as data collection tools within qualitative paradigm to capture experiences and perceptions of 18 parents cum ECD teachers and the practices of nine research participants from three districts. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis approach and emerging themes were recorded. The findings confirmed that the parents who focused on how to enhance their children’ freedom of expression in early ages, they could better develop children’ complex dimensions of holistic development such as physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual etc. Children from such family backgrounds could better contribute towards sustainable development of societies at later stages where they live and work. Whereas parents who could not allow children to express their ideas and feelings they became less confident, poorly performed in their practical lives with poor interactions with others. The study recommends that parents should ensure their meaningful involvement in developing their children’s freedom of expression at early ages by creating a friendly yet enabling environment at home and beyond.

The goal of this study is to find out the effect of transformational leadership on innovative behaviour through work meaningfulness. We also modelled the moderating effect of personal identification on the association between transformational leadership and innovative behaviour. We based our hypotheses on the theory of positive emotions, and the interpersonal social cognitive paradigm. The participants of the study were managerial level workers (supervisor-subordinate dyads) in the manufacturing sector of Gujrat-Sialkot-Gujranwala (aka, the Golden Triangle) industrial cluster of Pakistan. We implemented the two-step structural equations modelling technique on our sample of 273 respondents. Results reveal that transformational leaders do not only have a direct influence on innovative behaviour but also affect employee innovative behaviour through work meaningfulness. The employees who identified more with their transformational leaders were more innovative. The study adds to our understanding about how transformational leadership enhances innovative behaviour by introducing new mechanisms into this linkage. The results also establish the external validity, in a South Asian context, of the theory of positive emotions and an interpersonal social cognitive paradigm. Pages 242 to 261

Analysis of People’s Business Credit Distribution for MSMEs Based on Non-Performing Loans, the Number of Debtors, and MSME’s Revenue Growth

This research discusses the distribution of People's Business Credit or MSME credit, which is influenced by NPLs, the number of debtors, and MSME's revenue growth. The main research issue focuses on KUR's use for MSME expansion, which will pay attention to the amount of NPLs as part of credit risk, the number of debtors who use KUR, and the amount of MSME revenue to finance KUR payments. This research becomes a benchmark for making bankable software to be designed. The study uses data of MSME credit from 1989 to 2019, with adjustment of data from 1989 to 2008 due to change of regulation. The findings show that revenue growth has a negative effect on KUR distribution; this is due to the fact that successful MSMEs will borrow using the investment credit scheme instead of continuing to use KUR. Meanwhile, NPLs and the number of debtors does not affect the distribution of KUR. The results of this study are used as the basis for determining the logarithm of bankable software calculations. The beta version of this software is complete but requires further revision. Pages 280 to 294

Biogas technology has become vital in addressing the concerns of energy scarcities. The study examines the performance of biogas plants in Rawalpindi Division, Pakistan and identifies the factors that supposedly affect the adoption decision of biogas users. The key stakeholders in this study are rural households who are using the biogas technology. Data was collected from all active biogas plant users from rural households through a detailed questionnaire. Performance evaluation was done through a DEA non-parametric technique. A Logit model was employed to identify the factors affecting adoption of biogas plants. Number of animals and number of meals cooked have significantly increased the adoption of biogas technology, however, the stinging odor from the dung used has minimized the adoption of biogas technology. Most feasible performance was found for biogas plant of size 10 m3 as it satisfies the maximum cooking and related needs of a normal family. However, we found that biogas technology is more suitable for small families as compared to large families. There is a dire need to establish national level programs for the development of biogas technology and to create awareness among rural people to adopt this technology. Pages 1097 to 1116

AlJohara Fahad Al Saud, An Associate Professor-Early Childhood Education Section, College of Education, King Saud University, Email: aljoharafk@gmail.com

This study investigates the effect of blended learning approach [BLA] on second grade students' reading skills during Covid-19 quarantine in Saudi Arabia, to find out whether there is a statistically significant difference (at α=0.05) between students' mean scores on Arabic Reading skills test due to BLA. The experimental group consisted of a random sample of 40 students from Riyadh basic schools. The participants sat for pre- and post-tests on reading skills based on the public Arabic curriculum Lughaty (لغتي). Blended Learning was used to teach the experimental group through blending the digital material and digital meeting with printed material at home to achieve the goal of improved learning. As the study design was quasi–experimental, ANCOVA was used to analyse data. Results showed that BLA enhanced significantly second grade students’ reading skills. Based on the results, it is recommended that Arabic teachers adopt BLA principles and procedures in their classroom practices. Pages 1132 to 1152

A Stylistic Analysis of the Short Story "The Little Match Girl"

Yazan Shaker Almahameed^a, Department of English Language and Translation, Amman Arab University, Jordan/, Email: ^aYazan.Shaker@yahoo.com

This study aims at conducting an extensive stylistic analysis of the short story "The Little Match Girl" written by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. The study attempts to analyse stylistically four language levels pertinent to the story; namely phonological level, syntactic level, graphological level and semantic level. The phonological style of the author comprises four sound features: alliteration, assonance, consonance and rhyme. The syntactic style of the author is chiefly characterised by frequent deviation from English word order. The graphological style of the author is featured by excessive use of punctuation marks such as comma, semicolon, en dash, hyphen and inverted commas. The semantic level in the story is primarily influenced by the utilising elegant synonymy. It is found that the author managed to create mapping between semantically unrelated words, making them synonyms in context. In addition, the study analyses three figures of speech found in the story namely: personification, simile and hyperbole. It could be concluded that the language of the author is characterised by variation and uniqueness, in which he employs several linguistic and poetic devices to exhibit his unparalleled style and fingerprint, making the story deep, touching and interesting to follow.
