Quantitative analysis of cryptocurrency susceptibility: A mathematical benchmarking model
(International Association for Digital Transformation and Technological Innovation, 2025) Bekiroğlu, Ayman; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İktisat Bölümü
The rise of cryptocurrencies has brought attention to significant security challenges, particularly the 51% attack. This study focuses on developing benchmarks to evaluate varying levels of vul nerability among cryptocurrencies. A detailed review of the literature identifies a lack of ap proaches having statistical rigor, leading to the development of a comprehensive susceptibility test model. The proposed model is basedonkey parameters extracted from existing studies and validated with additional quantitative data for accuracy and reliability. Benchmarking thresholds are determined using k-means clustering, allowing for the classification of cryptocurrencies into distinct security profiles. The analysis identifies five clusters: resilient cryptocurrencies have sus ceptibility scores below 0.532, while scores exceeding 1.557 indicate high vulnerability. The re maining clusters represent intermediate levels of resilience and risk. These findings contribute to a better understanding of cryptocurrency security, supporting informed investment decisions and providing a basis for future research and policy development.
The mediating role of executive functions in reading fluency among 8-10 year old children: Evidence from a transparent orthography
(Routledge, 2025) Qehaja, Fatbardha; Berisha, Elma
The authors investigated the contribution of executive functions (EFs) in mediating the relation between age and reading fluency (RF) in school children. A total of 168 typically developing 8-year-old children (M age = 8 years, 4 months) and 10-year-old children (M age = 10 years, 3 months) were assessed with an RF task, isolated measures of EFs, a collective measure of EFs, and a non-verbal intelligence test. The results showed that during both age periods, inhibition, updating and cognitive flexibility were significant predictors of RF, explaining 23% of its variance. The results also revealed a significant partial indirect effect of age on reading fluency through all three hypothesized mediators supporting the mediating hypothesis. These findings further support the differentiation of EFs into distinct components for these particular age groups. A novelty of this study was that it provided evidence of this mediating relationship from a highly transparent orthography, that of the Albanian language. Neither gender nor non-verbal intelligence made any difference. However, two demographic variables, namely Socio-economic status (SES) and the mother education level, significantly moderated the relationship between age and RF.
[Book Review]: "Mapping Emotional Currents in Modern Turkey: A Critical Interdisciplinary Review"
(Consejo Nacl Investigaciones Cientificas & Tecnicas, 2025) Ramos, Muhammad Yusoph
Anthropology and Sociology of Emotions: Theoretical and Ethnographic Perspectives from Turkey and Beyond , edited by Ramazan Aras, constitutes a formidable intervention into the fabric of Turkish social life by rearticulating the role of emotions as dynamic forces that are simultaneously socio-political, historical, and cultural. Rather than relegating emotions to the realm of individual or psychological phenomena, the volume rigorously foregrounds their collective and discursive dimensions and illustrates how affect both informs and is reconfigured by broader religious, historical, and political milieus. In challenging the conventional “top-down” narratives that have long dominated accounts of Turkish modernity, the volume is critical in exposing the fact that these narratives tend to obscure the affective underpinnings of secular authoritarian legacies, Islamist mobilizations, and other transformative processes. This book interweaves historical analysis, personal testimony, and theoretical reflection to argue that any comprehensive understanding of modern Turkey must privilege emotions as central analytical categories. Furthermore, the book interrogates and transcends dominant Eurocentric frameworks and advocates for a multidisciplinary approach that synthesizes insights from anthropology, philosophy, sociology, theology, history, and religious studies. The volume mobilizes concepts such as “ Ummah- hood,” “hüzün ,” and religiously inflected emotional communities, and in so doing it not only expands traditional Western theoretical frames but also illuminates the profound cultural sensitivities and the enduring influence of Islamic intellectual traditions on the affective landscape.
The concept of Riwāyah: The need for a holistic and systematic approach in Islamic narrations
(Electronic Publications, 2025) Raza, Muhammad Ahmad
Historically, knowledge and information have been transmitted by three means: speech, writing, and practice. These mediums give rise to three types of narration: oral, written, and practical. In Islamic terminology, this is known as riwāyah. It is a principle in Islamic law that nothing can be attributed to Islam without a supporting narration. When a narration is presented, its authenticity must be confirmed; otherwise, it is considered unacceptable. This principle requires that the concept of riwāyah be broad enough to include not only the three forms of narration but also the content transmitted through each of them. However, upon studying contemporary literature on the topic, it appears that the concept primarily focuses on one form, oral narration. In contrast, the other two forms are largely neglected. In particular, practical narration, which was widely accepted as an essential source of Islamic law and was more relevant during the Prophetic, Companions, and Successors periods, has been completely excluded from this concept. In this context, it is crucial to determine whether Islam utilises just one form of narration or all three. If all three forms are used, can the concept of narration in Islam be fully understood by focusing on just one form, or does it require a holistic approach to understand the entire system of narration? This paper explains the role of all three forms of Islamic narrations, especially the role of practical narration, while emphasising the need to create a holistic and systematic approach to the concept of riwāyah.
Rational force of analogy/qiyas in law: Logic of law in Islamic and contemporary legal reasoning
(University of Windsor, 2025) Komath, Muhammed
Analogy is an inherently fragile form of argument, as the conclusion is derived from similarity, while overlooking dissimilarities. Yet law necessarily depends upon analogical reasoning to ensure consistency and predictability in its rulings. This entanglement of fragility and necessity compels the legal traditions, like Islamic and common laws, to formulate a justification of analogy when applied in law. The most successful justification, I argue, is the one that is anchored in logic. This logical grounding is a shared feature among contemporary legal theorist Scott Brewer, the informal logician Douglas Walton, and the 12th-century Muslim jurist-logician al-Ghazzali, as all three insist that the justification of legal analogy is logical. This paper aims to trace the thematic contours of their explanation in order to demonstrate, drawing primarily on al-Ghazzali's two works: al-Mustasfa fi Usul al-Fiqh and al-Muntahal fi al-Jadal, that al-Ghazali's model of analogical reasoning effectively integrates key elements of Brewer's abduction model and Walton's model of defeasible argument.
