Reading Strategies Used by Afghan EFL Students in the Department of English at Khost Shaikh Zayed University
type: item
description: This study investigates the reading strategies employed by Afghan EFL students in the Department of English at Khost Shaikh Zayed University, where reading is a fundamental aspect of the curriculum. The research aims to identify the strategies students report using and assess the extent to which these strategies are actively implemented in their reading practices. A sample of 34 male students participated in the study, completing a structured questionnaire designed to gather data on their reading strategies. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel to quantify the frequency of strategy usage. The findings revealed that while students reported using a variety of reading strategies, their actual application was limited. A notable 90.18% of respondents indicated a strong reliance on dictionaries during reading activities, highlighting an emphasis on vocabulary acquisition. However, deeper cognitive strategies, such as making inferences and semantic mapping, were employed less frequently. The results suggest a significant gap in students' awareness and effective application of reading strategies.In conclusion, the study emphasizes the need for enhanced instructional practices that incorporate metacognitive training and a balanced approach to teaching reading strategies. By fostering both surface-level and deeper processing strategies, educators can better equip Afghan EFL students for improved reading comprehension and overall language proficiency. These insights aim to inform future curriculum development and pedagogical strategies in the context of English language education in Afghanistan.

Visual Identity and the Psychology of Buying in the Digital Age
type: item
description: In the digital age, consumer behavior is increasingly shaped by symbolic, emotional, and identity-driven mechanisms rather than traditional utilitarian logic. This study explores how visual content, self-perception, and social media dynamics intersect to influence consumer decision-making in online environments. Drawing from Self-Concept Theory, Social Comparison Theory, and Visual Rhetoric Theory, the research adopts a qualitative, theory-informed methodology to analyze 100 curated visual media posts from platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Using thematic analysis, visual semiotics, and document analysis, the study identifies four key psychological patterns: aspirational identity alignment, emotional resonance and aesthetic immersion, visualized social comparison, and authenticity-driven self-validation. Findings reveal that consumers engage with brand imagery not merely for functional evaluation, but as a means of identity expression, emotional fulfillment, and social positioning. The study proposes an integrative conceptual framework that models these interactions within a recursive feedback loop of digital consumer identity. By emphasizing the affective and interpretive nature of visual consumption, this research offers new insights for marketers, designers, and scholars seeking to understand and ethically engage contemporary consumers in the symbolic economy of social media.

Comparative Study of Adjectives in Pashto and Dari as Cognate Languages
type: item
description: In Pashto, adjectives align with nouns in terms of number, gender, and case, which distinguishthem from adjectives in Modern Persian-Dari. In both Old and Modern Persian, unlike in Pashto, adjectives are divided into two categories: attributive and predicative. In Modern Persian-Dari, there is little visible difference between adjectives and othergrammatical roles, such as modifiers. The identification of adjectives in this language mainly depends on grammatical characteristics, whereas in Pashto, the structure of adjectives, in terms of number, gender, and case, is crucial.One of the obvious topics in Persian grammar books is the agreement between adjectives and nouns, which is derived from Arabic. It has never existed in Persian as a strict rule; however, in Ancient Iranian languages, and in Middle Western Iranian languages and Modern Persian-Dari, adjectives have always been able to agree with their nouns in terms of number, gender, and case.The authors of this paper aim to first present the opinions of several grammarians and the history of adjective-noun agreement in Persian, and then providea general definition of adjectives in both Pashto and Persian-Dari, followed by a comparison of adjectives in Persian-Dari and Pashto from various perspectives. In this scholarly article, a library-based research method and a comparative approach are usedto validate the study of adjectives.

Investigation of Social Well-being among Academic and Administrative Staff at Bamyan University
type: item
description: The social welfare of BamyanUniversity's faculty and staff in 2023 was examined in this study. Methodologically, it was a descriptive-survey study that was field-based and applied to the goal. The standardized Keyes (1998) Social Well-Being Questionnaire, which consists of 33 questions and 5 components, was used to collect the data. The five-point Likert scale used to assess each question ranged from "completely agree" to "completely disagree." The study's whole statistical population, which included all 249 faculty members and staffof Bamyan University, received the questionnaires. One hundred eighty-three of these completed surveys were sent back. SPSS software was used to evaluate the gathered data using both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques.The results showed that Bamyan University's teachers and staff had an unsatisfactory level of social well-being. There was a statistically significant difference (p=0.02) between the benchmark score of 99 and the mean total social well-being score of 97.78. Additionally, all of the social well-being components social cohesiveness (17.61), social contribution (18.01), social actualization (20.99), social acceptability (20.70), and social coherence (20.45)—scored below the ideal level. This suggests that there are issues with job satisfaction, organizational support, and social interactions at work.The study's findings highlight the need for Bamyan University to develop policies that enhance social well-being.

The Position of Afghanistan in China’s Belt and Road Initiative Project
type: item
description: Afghanistan, neighboring China and located at the heart of Asia, holds significant transit advantages and economic, political, and security importance for all regional and extra-regional countries. Given its economic capacity, China aims to supervise and maintain trade relations with countries in South and West Asia and Europe through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Afghanistan's geographic proximity to surrounding territories offers an optimal route for implementing and consolidating China’s economic, political, and security strategies. Moreover, China seeks an alternative to the Malacca Strait, which is largely monitored by India, a regional rival. This article exploresthe question of Afghanistan’s position in China's Belt and Road Initiative through an analytical and descriptive approach. Given the security situation in Kashmir, the Indo-Pak conflict, and instability in Central Asian countries, China considers Afghanistan —despite its geographic challenges and proximity to the Middle East, Europe, and open seas —as a key strategic option in its long-term economic and political planning.

Digital Influencers and Consumer Decision-Making: The Mediating Role of Trust in a Culturally Diverse Market
type: item
description: This study examines the pivotal role of digital influencers in fostering consumer trust and shaping purchase intentions within online retail contexts, with a specific empirical focus on Istanbul, Turkey. Adopting a mixed-methods research design, the investigation integrates quantitative survey data and qualitative interview insights to analyze how critical influencer attributes, namely authenticity, expertise, and relatability, influence consumer behavior. The results demonstrate that these characteristics substantially contribute to the development of consumer trust, which in turn serves as a key determinant of online purchase decisions. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) validates the mediating role of trust in the relationship between influencer traits and consumer decision-making processes. Furthermore, the study underscores the strategic effectiveness of micro-and nano-influencers in cultivating stronger relational engagement with audiences. The findings yield practical implications for marketers aiming to deploy influencer strategies in culturally nuanced and digitally active markets such as Istanbul.

Comparative Analysis of Bachelor of Medical Programs in Afghanistan and Pakistan
type: item
description: This research manuscript aims to compare medical bachelor's degree programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan, focusing on curriculum content, teaching methods, and learning objectives. The primary objectives are to identify similarities between the medical curricula of the two countries and to understand the differences that highlight the distinct healthcare challenges faced by each nation's academic institutions. Using document analysis and a comparative qualitative approach, the study examines educational materials from prominent institutions in both countries. It addresses several research questions, including the core components of medical curricula, program similarities, and the methods used to teach medical issues in each context. The findings indicate notable differences in curriculum structure and content: Pakistan's MBBS program typically spans six years and emphasizes the integration of basic and clinical sciences. In comparison, Afghanistan's MD program lasts seven years and adopts a discipline-based approach. Although both programs cover fundamental medical knowledge, they differ in how cultural elements and practical training opportunities are incorporated. Ultimately, this study aims to provide recommendations for enhancing medical education in both countries, promoting more effective training programs that meet the evolving healthcare needs of their populations. By highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of these educational systems, the research contributes to the ongoing discourse on improving medical training in resource-constrained settings.

Legal and Jurisprudential Analysis of Bills of Exchange in Afghanistan’s Payment and Banking System: A Comparative Study with International Regulations
type: item
description: Bill of exchange, as one of the oldest and most reliable commercial instruments, plays a significant role in facilitating domestic and international transactions and enables payment without direct cash transfer. This written document, signed by the issuer, orders the payment of a specified amount unconditionally on a fixed date or on demand to the holder and has both legal and economic nature. This research examines the legal and Islamic jurisprudential (Shariah) framework governing the use of bills of exchange within Afghanistan’s payment and banking system. Bills of exchange, as key financial instruments in commercial transactions, play a vital role in facilitating trade and credit. However, their application in Afghanistan remains limited due to legal ambiguities, enforcement challenges, and religious considerations. The importance of studying the bill of exchange within Afghanistan’s banking system lies in its potential use as a tool for short-term financing, payment guarantee, reduction of cash requirements, and banking risk management. The aim of this study is to provide a legal and jurisprudential analysis of the bill of exchange under Afghan laws and to compare it with international standards, such as the Geneva Convention and the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP). The research method employed is library research and a comparative analysis of legal documents and international regulations. The findings indicate that despite the clear legal status of the bill of exchange, its practical application remains limited, with the main factors being weak banking and judicial infrastructure, lack of trust among traders, absence of standardized digital templates, and predominance of traditional money transfer systems such as remittances. Strengthening legal and banking infrastructure, increasing commercial trust, and establishing digital mechanisms are required.

From a Semantic Perspective: the Relationship Between Linguistics and Philosophy
type: item
description: Meaning serves as the common ground between linguistics and philosophy, forming the basis for their interconnection. Linguistic meaning often faces ambiguities when intertwined with philosophical meaning, and from a cultural viewpoint, linguistic components, along with their meanings, also encompass various philosophical interpretations. This study investigates the link between linguistics and philosophy by focusing on the expansion of these meanings. Given that linguistic components convey philosophical implications in addition to their linguistic meanings, the aim of this research is to examine the relationship between linguistics and philosophy through a semantic lens. In examining the connection between linguistics and philosophy, a descriptive-analytical approach was utilized. The research demonstrated that factors such as reference, reasoning, intentionality, structural, quantitative, and qualitative meanings, linguistic logic, and concepts of linguistic determinism and free will play a role in both expanding and constraining meaning in language. The findings indicate that, from a semantic standpoint, there is a shared boundary between linguistics and philosophy, and to achieve linguistic meaning in communication, it is essential to consider the interrelationship between both linguistic and philosophical disciplines.

type: item
description: In a world where urbanization, industrialization, and agriculture are rapidly expanding, the protection of natural water resources seems nearly impossible, and the issues of water pollution and salinity have become increasingly severe. Natural resources are among the blessings that must be used wisely to protect and improve human living standards. The aim of this article is to identify the causes of freshwater reduction, promote optimal and rational use of water resources, and examine the amount of available water on Earth, the limitations of water resources, and the negative impacts on the economy, culture, and social issues. The research method used in this study is qualitative, with data collected through a library-based approach and analyzed descriptively. The results show that water holds a special place among natural resources, as it is neither degradable nor renewable. Moreover, water is a vital resource for human societies and plays a crucial role in the economies of countries. The results also indicate that water consumption in agriculture is significantly higher than in industrial and urban sectors.

Assessment of Psychological Services and Psychological Well-being of Students in Public and Private Higher Education Institutions of Kunduz Province
type: item
description: This study investigates the provision of psychological services and the psychological well-being of students in public and private higher education institutions in Kunduz province. The research is descriptive-survey in nature and employs a causal-comparative design. The statistical population included 4,214 students from three higher education institutions, from which a stratified random sample of 478 students was selected. Data collection instruments consisted of a questionnaire measuring the level of psychological services and the Maslow Psychological Security Scale. The collected data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. In the descriptive analysis, data were summarized using frequencies, percentages, and means. For the inferential analysis, one-sample t-tests and chi-square tests were employed to examine and compare the means. The results indicated that the provision of psychological services in these institutions was below the desired level, and students had insufficient awareness of the existence and functioning of counseling centers. Although students’ psychological security was evaluated as relatively satisfactory, significant differences were found in the need for counseling services among groups with varying levels of psychological security. Moreover, overall student satisfaction with psychological services was moderate, with considerable variability. In conclusion, strengthening and expanding psychological services, together with enhancing students’ awareness of counseling centers, should be regarded as essential components of psychological support systems. Neglecting these aspects may undermine students’ mental well-being. Therefore, it is recommended that both public and private higher education institutions in Kunduz Province design and implement targeted strategies to play a more effective role in promoting students’ mental health and improving their academic performance.

Essential Skills for a Lexicographer
type: item
description: Lexicography is a division of linguistic that is very important for recording and developing languages. Pashto is one of those languages that do not have many resources. Most afghan lexicographer using traditional methods for dictionary. The old methods cause mistakes and do not follow scientific rules. This article encourages lexicographer to stop old method and old writing system and start modern lexicography methods on facts. It also explains that lexicographers need to learn language and dictionary-making skills. These skills help the lexicographer to make better and more correct dictionary. This study adopts a qualitative and descriptive-analytical method to explore and compare key trends in both Afghan and international lexicographer practices. It critically examines the current state of Pashto dictionaries, highlights significant methodological shortcomings, and proposes a set of well-structured recommendations to address these gaps. Many Pashto-Pashto dictionaries have Data collection, grammar, or others problem. They are inconsistent, nonstandard, do not give answer user because Pashto dictionary have been written lack deep language knowledge and trained people and good method are missing. The article say it is important to work with experts, use digital tools and often update dictionary. The article says that lexicography is not just a technical job. It is an academic work that helps protect and grow the language. If lexicographer get if the right training they can make dictionaries that are useful and trusted by many people.

Epistemic Pluralism and Khaldounian Paradigm: Rethinking Social Science Beyond Eurocentrism
type: item
description: In the landscape of contemporary social sciences, the dominance of Western epistemology has long marginalized alternative frameworks rooted in non-European intellectual traditions. This article revisits the ideas of Ibn Khaldoun, the 14th-century Muslim scholar, to explore the possibility of constructing a non-Western paradigm for understanding social and political dynamics. The central research question guiding this study is: Can Ibn Khaldoun’s epistemological and methodological insights offer a viable alternative to Eurocentric foundations in the social sciences? To address this question, the article employs a descriptive-analytical method, drawing primarily on textual analysis of Ibn Khaldoun’s writings and secondary literature in historical sociology and postcolonial theory. The findings suggest that Ibn Khaldoun’s conceptual tools, particularly his notions of Asabiyyah, cyclical state dynamics, empirical historiography, and Multiplex paradigm, provide a sophisticated framework for analyzing social change that predates and, in some ways, anticipates modern sociology. By critically engaging with Eurocentrism and highlighting the originality and relevance of Ibn Khaldoun’s work, this study contributes to broader efforts in decolonizing the social sciences and expanding the theoretical foundations of global knowledge production.

A Brief Overview of Securing Research Funding for Universities Self-Sufficiency
type: item
description: Universities ensure the advancement of civilizations in other domains as respectable hubs for scientific study. As has been required for many years, it must be acknowledged that Afghanistan's academic and scientific institutions have not kept up with the modern world. Since the government of Afghanistan covers all university expenditures, these actions necessitate research funding. This study is a brief analysis based on other people's experiences allocating research funds to universities in order to help them become self-sufficient. The Library-Study was used to conduct the study. The findings of this study demonstrate that the vision, mission, and nature of the interaction between universities and society have evolved as a result of their duty to apply the findings of scientific research to address the demands of society's objective challenges. By employing scientific productivity, initiatives, and innovation while submitting funding requests, universities can accomplish their objectives. Both developed and emerging nations can follow this trend, which states that each academic employee in industrialized nations contributes between $9,400 and $219,100 to government revenue and university capital each year. Scientific research will continue to be the standard procedure solely for advancement to the ranks of scientific staff members if Afghanistan's educational institutions do not take fundamental and sound measures in this process based on experiences from around the world.

The Effects of Forced Deportation of Migrants on Their Mental Health in Herat City
type: item
description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of forced deportation of immigrants from the second country to the country of origin on their mental health considering major variables such as type of return, gender, length of stay in the second country, and age. Statistical data were collected using the GHQ-28 scale in writing and analyzed using SPSS-25 software and chi-square test to analyze the relationships between nominal data and ANOVA, independent t-test, Pearson correlation and linear regression to investigate the relationships between quantitative data. The results of this study showed that variables such as "length of stay", "age" and "type of return" play an important role in determining the mental health of individuals, while gender as a variable has no significant effect in this regard. These results emphasize the importance of careful analysis of factors affecting mental health and the design of targeted interventions for different groups. Considering the complexities associated with migration and its impact on psychological aspects, further research in this area can lead to the development of more comprehensive policies and the provision of more effective services to support migrants.
