Deep learning is used to address a wide range of challenging issues including large data analysis, image processing, object detection, and autonomous control. In the same way, deep learning techniques are also used to develop software and techniques that pose a danger to privacy, democracy, and national security. Fake content in the form of images and videos using digital manipulation with artificial intelligence (AI) approaches has become widespread during the past few years. Deepfakes, in the form of audio, images, and videos, have become a major concern during the past few years. Complemented by artificial intelligence, deepfakes swap the face of one person with the other and generate hyper-realistic videos. Accompanying the speed of social media, deepfakes can immediately reach millions of people and can be very dangerous to make fake news, hoaxes, and fraud. Besides the well-known movie stars, politicians have been victims of deepfakes in the past, especially US presidents Barak Obama and Donald Trump, however, the public at large can be the target of deepfakes. To overcome the challenge of deepfake identification and mitigate its impact, large efforts have been carried out to devise novel methods to detect face manipulation. This study also discusses how to counter the threats from deepfake technology and alleviate its impact. The outcomes recommend that despite a serious threat to society, business, and political institutions, they can be combated through appropriate policies, regulation, individual actions, training, and education. In addition, the evolution of technology is desired for deepfake identification, content authentication, and deepfake prevention. Different studies have performed deepfake detection using machine learning and deep learning techniques such as support vector machine, random forest, multilayer perceptron, k-nearest neighbors, convolutional neural networks with and without long short-term memory, and other similar models. This study aims to highlight the recent research in ...

Fatima Hussein lssa al-Qiney is a pioneer Kuwaiti writer and a prominent figure in the media. She was born in Kuwait in 1937 where she received her highschool education, and later continued her education at Cairo University (1956-1960).

The research is to know and examine the thoughts of Fatima Mernissi about the role of women and how the critics of Fatima Mernissi thought. The research method used literature research where the data obtained from literatures related to Fatima Mernissi thinking about the role of women in Islam. The result of this research is that Fatima Mernissi tried to reconstruct thinking about the role of Fatima woman by exploring the values and teachings in al-Qur'an that affirm equality of men and women. Fatima Mernissi quotes several verses of the Qur'an, which assert that the vision and mission of Islam uphold and provide absolute certainty related to sexual equality. The moment of migration of a political action involving men and women, should be interpreted as an affirmation and justification of Islam for public participation of women in the social and political sphere.

" … I do not recall the day of my circumcision. I have no recollection of the physical pain I was made to suffer. But what has remained engraved in my memory and what I can never forget, is the agony and affliction I began to feel when I grew up and became aware of the horror inflicted on my body, of the physical amputation I was submitted to, an essential part of my femininity had been cut off from me and tossed away.

The United Arab Emirates is a smallish Arabic/Islamic country about the size of Maine located at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Though currently oil dependent, the country is moving rapidly from a petrocarbon to a people-based economy. As that economy modernizes and diversifies, the country's underlying social ecology is being buffeted. The most significant of the winds of change that are blowing include a compulsory, free K-12 education system; an economy shifting from extractive to knowledge-based resources; and movement from the almost mythic Bedouin-inspired lifestyle to that of a sedentary highly urbanized society. Led by resource-rich Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the federal government has invested heavily in tourism, aviation, re-export commerce, free trade zones, and telecommunications. The Emirate of Dubai, in particular, also has invested billions of dirhams in high technology. The great dream is that educated and trained Emiratis will replace the thousands of foreign professionals now running the newly emerging technology and knowledge-driven economy.

Klappentext: Historicamente, Fátima não está sozinha, ela constitui-se como o cume da história mítica portuguesa e representa-se, no século XX, ao nível da religião popular, como Fernando Pessoa ao nível de um cristianismo esotérico e sófico. De certo modo, na contemporaneidade, a Senhora, Aquela por quem os portugueses sempre esperam e que os ampara nas horas difíceis, veio substituir, no imaginário popular e segundo a estética de um espectáculo barroco, o mito sebastianista, o rei que, regressado, implantaria em Portugal um reino de justiça e abastança. "… mais do que optar entre milagre e maquinação, o importante é perceber que Fátima é produto de uma mistura contingente entre a tradição mítica, profética e messiânica portuguesa, a mentalidade religiosa católica historicamente debilitada em 1917, a oportunidade social circunstancial e a experiência assombrosa das três crianças."
