The present study argues the relationship between the media’s power and the reconstruction of subjectivity in Zubaida’s Window, a novel by Iqbal Al-Qazwini. It is a description of the tortured psyche of the exiled woman and her attempts to reconstruct her displaced subjectivity among different versions of media’s Baudrillardian simulacra and to distinguish reality from unreality. Media’s depictions of death and war’s destruction can generate xenophobia among natives who may blame immigrants for their social problems and disturbing spatial harmony. Qazwini re-emphasizes that xenophobia can destroy an immigrant’s self-perception and trigger the preference for death. Moreover, the hyperreal versions of truth and ignoring the subaltern’s voice and revelation affect an immigrant’s mentality negatively and persuade her/him to prefer loneliness and death to have social interactions. This article focuses on the significance of media in the reconstruction of subjectivity, intensification of anti-immigration views, and the dark sides of modern war based on the interrelated theories of David Miller and Derek Gregory. Considering the issues of compulsory displacement and territoriality, Miller focuses on the ethical/political dimensions, while Gregory examines the causes of armed conflicts and geopolitical factors. By applying such an interdisciplinary approach, the researchers investigate Zubaida’s mental downfall, her failure in the reconstruction of subjectivity, and her inability to reconcile different self-images. This article examines her ceaseless effort to reverse the colonial power of media by adhering to her homeland’s memories, or watching her country’s news through TV’s representation, or ignoring spatial interactions, and lack of interest in self-renovation.

پاره ای از آیات قرآن به دلیل پیچیدگی های ادبی و معنایی همواره محل تأمل اندیشمندان اسلامی بوده اند و نظراتی متعدد را نسبت به آن ارائه کرده اند. گوناگونی دیدگاه ایشان درباره دشواری های دستوری برخی از واژگان قرآن بستری را فراهم کرده است تا تعدادی از پژوهش های پژوهشگران غربی که در سده های گذشته در رابطه با قرآن و زبان قرآن پدید آمده اند بر آن دشواری ها تمرکز یابند. جان برتون از جمله مستشرقان قرآن پژوهی است که با تدوین مقاله ای با عنوان «اشتباهات نحوی قرآن» در مواجهه با برخی از واژگان دشوار متن قرآن آن ها را از اشتباهات زبانی پیامبر برمی شمارد. وی استناد به اخباری که بر اساس آن ها دشواری های نحوی برخی از آیات قرآن از جمله آیات 177 سوره بقره، 162 سوره نساء، 69 سوره مائده و 64 سوره طه ناشی از خطای کاتبان وحی برشمرده شده اند را رد کرده است و این به اصطلاح خطاهای زبانی را به صادرکننده آیات یعنی شخص پیامبر اکرم (ص) منتسب می داند. این نوشتار بر آن است تا با روش توصیفی - تحلیلی رویکرد جان برتون را هم از نظر محتوا و هم از نظر ساختار بررسی و در نهایت یادآور کند که دیدگاه او از عدم توجه به تاریخ تدوین دانش های زبانی پس از تدوین مصحف و بی توجهی به مصدر قرائت ها و آرای نحویان شکل گرفته است.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of emotional self-regulation training on assertiveness skills and motivational beliefs in students.The research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group.From the statistical population, which included all sixth grade female students of Mirjaveh in the academic year of 1997-1998, using the purposeful sampling method, 40 people were randomly replaced in two experiment and control groups.The tools used were Gambrill and Ritchie's Daring Questionnaire (1975) and Motivational Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (1990).Covariance analysis method was also used to analyze the data. The results of the research showed that emotional self-regulation training was effective on students' assertiveness skills and motivational beliefs (p<0.01). Also, the effect of emotional self-regulation training on the components of motivational beliefs such as increasing self-efficacy and reducing exam's anxiety has also been positive and significant (p<0.01). But the results of the effect of emotional self-regulation training on internal valuation were not significant (p<0.05).Considering the negative consequences of weak motivational beliefs and assertiveness skills in students; Therefore, in order to strengthen these variables, it is suggested that emotional self-regulation be taught to students by teachers and education planners in the form of class discussions or empowerment workshops.

The world of digital marketing has been fast advancing in recent times. Marketers have developed various practices to attract consumers to their products and services. Online shopping applications have introduced different methods to encourage consumer impulse buying. However, past literature has overlooked the 7C framework, despite its introduction during the early stages of e-commerce development. Thus, this study aims to examine the dimensions of digital marketing and the mediating role of emotions on impulse buying behavior in e-commerce shopping platforms. This study used the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework as the underpinning theory for developing the proposed framework. The 7Cs framework, serving as the stimulus (S), includes content, context, commerce, customization, connection, communication, and community. Emotions represent the organism (O), while impulse buying behavior is the response (R). A survey was conducted to collect data from 331 shoppers from two major online platforms in Malaysia. Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed and revealed six dimensions of digital marketing. Furthermore, it was found that emotions partially mediate the relationship of (a) context, (b) connection, and (c) commerce on impulse buying behavior. Emotions fully mediate the relationship between (a) communication and (b) customization on impulse buying behavior. This study enhances the understanding of the 7C framework, which is underexplored in the context of e-commerce. The 7C framework can be used to assess not only website design but also the design of e-commerce shopping platforms.

This study critically examines the sustainability challenges within the lithium-ion battery (LIB) supply chain in India's electric vehicle (EV) sector, an area of growing importance due to the rapid expansion of EV adoption. While LIBs are essential for EVs due to their high energy density and reliability, their production and disposal pose significant environmental, social, and economic sustainability challenges. These include resource depletion, environmental degradation, ethical concerns in raw material sourcing, and inefficient recycling processes. This study adopts a qualitative case study approach, focusing on three leading Indian automotive companies, to explore these challenges in depth. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders involved in various stages of the LIB supply chain, including production, waste management, and recycling. Key findings reveal that the primary environmental challenge is the lack of advanced green technologies for recycling and disposal, leading to high water and energy consumption, as well as hazardous waste emissions. Social challenges include unsafe labor practices, particularly in raw material extraction, and a shortage of skilled labor in battery recycling operations. On the economic front, the reliance on imported raw materials, coupled with high production and recycling costs, undermines the sector’s sustainability and profitability. The research contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive understanding of the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability in the LIB supply chain. It also offers practical insights for stakeholders and policymakers aiming to foster a greener and more sustainable EV sector in India.
