„Orientalism‟ is the term that means research and study about Eastern languages, cultures and religions (specially related to Quran, Seerah & Islamic History) by Western scholars or thinkers; and the term „Orientalist‟ is used for those who made the research. Orientalists have done much research work on Islam and founded many primary sources of Islamic history. They have also translated Islamic books into different languages. Their work on Seerah (peace be upon him) has great impact on both Western and Islamic worlds. Obviously, this contribution is very useful for Western world as well as Muslim world. But on the other hand, sometimes orientalists misinterpreted the message of Islam, messenger (peace be upon him) of Islam and Quran. The article describes the activities of such biased orientalists of current era. In 21st century, many groups of orientalists are active which can be divided into traditional, biased, unbiased and reconciliated groups. Many biased Orientalists perform a vital role to instill fear of Islam and Muslims in the hearts and minds of Western nations. They invent and give new terminologies to West such as „Clash of Civilizations‟, „Islamic Fundamentalism‟, „Islamic Terrorism‟, „Islamic Extremism‟, „Radical Islam‟, „Militant Islam‟, „Moderate Islam‟, „Reformers‟, „Secular Muslims‟, „Free Thinkers‟, etc. In this article we have focused on biased orientalists and discussed the impact of orientalism on present Western world and on Islamic World as well.

Fake info or bogus statistics is a new term and it is now considered as a greatest threat to democracy. Since the world is full of surprises and humans have developed their delicate nature to detect unexcepted information. Social media plays a vital role in information spreading, since the impact towards fake information has gained more attention due to the social media platforms. Trending the hot topic without analyzing the information will introduce great impact over millions of people. So, it is essential to analyze the message and its truthfulness. Emotional analysis is an important factor in bogus statistics as the information gets reshared among other based on individual emotions. Considering these facts in social media information analysis, an efficient emotional analysis for bogus statistics in social media is proposed in this research work using recurrent neural network. In an emotional perspective, fake messages are compared with actual message and false messages are identified experimentally using recurrent neural network.

The Impact

For most parts of human history, death was an integral part of life, something that prehistoric and premodern man had no other option than to live with as best as possible. According to historians, death was familiar and tamed, it was at the center of social and cultural life. With the coming of modern secular society, death was increasingly sequestrated and tabooed, moved to the outskirts of society, made invisible and forbidden. Death became a stranger, and the prevalent attitude towards death was that of alienation. At the threshold of the 21st century, the topic of death again began to attract attention, becoming part of a revived death attitude described as ‘Spectacular Death’. In the article, the authors diagnose, analyze, and discuss the impact of the return of death during the current ‘Corona Crisis’, arguing that despite the fact that the concern with death is at the very core of the management of the crisis, death as such remains largely invisible. In order to provide such a diagnosis of the times, the authors initially revisit the prevailing death attitudes in the Western world from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Coalition politics have played a unique role in the modernsystem of governance. It played a vital role in politics forbringing the smaller political parties closer by reducing the chances ofserious conflicts. Coalitions can be governmental, which are formed afterelections, and coalitions also can be formed before elections. Like most ofthe Third World countries, Pakistan is an emerging democratic state witha multi-party setup. Present research work tried to analyze differentaspects of coalition politics since the creation of Pakistan; however, thescope of this research was restricted to the era from 2008 to 2013. Thestudy has included the concept of coalitions, the formation of coalitions,their governance, terminations, and their implications on the politics ofPakistan. In order to get pinpoint the performance of the coalition during2008-2013, primary sources, including official documents, statements,and interviews, and secondary sources like books, journals, newspapers,and websites have been consulted. Basically, it is qualitative research, butsometimes quantitative material is also utilized. To complete the research,historical, descriptive, and experimental methods were used. The studyrevealed that how coalition politics has become a backbone of democracyin Pakistan, where many parties were getting representation in thelegislative assembly.

Novel textiles have received a lot of attention from researchers in the last decade due to some of their unique features. The introduction of intelligent materials into textile structures offers an opportunity to develop multifunctional textiles, such as sensing, reacting, conducting electricity and performing energy conversion operations. In this research work nanocomposite-based highly piezoelectric and electroactive β-phase new textile has been developed using the pad-dry-cure method. The deposition of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) − carbon nanofillers (CNF) − tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), Si(OCH2CH3)4 was acquired on a treated textile substrate using coating technique followed by evaporation to transform the passive (non-functional) textile into a dynamic textile with an enhanced piezoelectric β-phase. The aim of the study is the investigation of the impact the coating of textile via piezoelectric nanocomposites based PVDF-CNF (by optimizing piezoelectric crystalline phase). The chemical composition of CT/PVDF-CNC-TEOS textile was detected by qualitative elemental analysis (SEM/EDX). The added of 0.5% of CNF during the process provides material textiles with a piezoelectric β-phase of up to 50% has been measured by FTIR experiments. These results indicated that CNF has high efficiency in transforming the phase α introduced in the unloaded PVDF, to the β-phase in the case of nanocomposites. Consequently, this fabricated new textile exhibits glorious piezoelectric β-phase even with relatively low coating content of PVDF-CNF-TEOS. The study demonstrates that the pad-dry-cure method can potentially be used for the development of piezoelectric nanocomposite-coated wearable new textiles for sensors and energy harvesting applications. We believe that our study may inspire the research area for future advanced applications.
