What drives the financial performance of general takaful companies?

Purpose This study aims to identify the internal and external factors affecting the financial performance of general takaful companies operating in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, UAE, Qatar and Pakistan, using an unbalanced panel data set consisting of 53 companies. Design/methodology/approach Data were hand-collected from the official financial reports of takaful companies. Two performance measures, namely, net investment income and investment yield, are used to capture the different aspects of the takaful investment operations. Based on relevant theory and literature, these measures are related to three economic variables, namely, GDP per capita, equity returns and interest rate, and four company-specific variables, namely, company size, gross contributions, retakaful dependence and liquidity. An ordinary least squares regression model, fixed-effects model and random-effects model are estimated for both performance measures. Findings The study finds that company size, liquidity, retakaful dependence, GDP per capita, equity returns and interest rate are statistically significant determinants of the financial performance; company size, GDP per capita, equity returns and interest rate are positively related to performance, whereas liquidity and retakaful dependence are negatively related to performance. Originality/value In the takaful literature, studies have been directed to almost every aspect of the Shariah law governing takaful. Yet, the empirical evidence on the financial performance of global takaful is scarce. Hence, there are several aspects where this paper extends prior research and contributes to the takaful literature.
Cystatin-C Is a Sensitive Marker of Renal Impairment with an Independent Predictive Value for Survival in Multiple Myeloma; Reduction Post Bortezomib Monotherapy.

Renal impairment is a common complication of multiple myeloma (MM). Standard assessment of kidney function in MM includes serum creatinine and creatinine clearance (Ccr) that possibly underestimate the prevalence of renal impairment in this disease. Cystatin-C (Cys-C) is a cysteine-proteinase inhibitor, which participates in the intracellular protein catabolism. It is freely filtered in the glomeruli and totally reabsorbed in the proximal tubular cells; therefore, it is a perfect endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of Cys-C in MM and explore possible correlations with clinical data, including survival. We studied 157 newly-diagnosed MM patients (87M/70F, median age 68 years), 28 patients with relapsed disease (17M/11F, median age 68 years) pre- and post-bortezomib therapy, and 15 healthy controls (9M/6F, median age 67 years). Serum Cys-C was determined by particle enhanced immunonephelometry (Dade Behring, Liederbach, Germany). In newly-diagnosed MM patients, serum Cys-C was increased compared with controls [median (range) 1.01 mg/L (0.24–5.61 mg/L) vs. 0.7 mg/L (0.59–0.95 mg/L); p 0.95 mg/L) the median survival was 27 months (95% CI 16.9–37.0; p upper normal limit) (n=46) had a median survival of 24 months (95% CI 18.2–29.7), while the median survival of all other patients has not been reached yet (p
To compare the outcome of intramedullary nailing and locking compression plate fixation in treatment of proximal one third tibia fracture: A randomized control trial

Background: Fractures of tibia shaft are most common of long bone fractures. Proximal tibia fractures account for approximately 5% to 11% of all tibial injuries and affect knee function and stability in most of the cases. Higher rates of malunion and increased incidence of associated complications have made these fractures particularly problematic. In recent years due to advancement in technique, proximal tibia plating and multidirectional locked intramedullary nailing, both have become widely used treatment modalities for proximal tibial metaphyseal fractures. This study was performed to compare plating and nailing options in proximal tibia extra-articular fractures. Materials and methods: This randomized prospective clinical study was conducted on 62 skeletally mature patients with closed extra-articular fracture of the proximal tibia treated with proximal tibial locking compression plating (PTLCP) or intramedullary nailing (IMN) by expert surgeons at a tertiary trauma center. Results: Postoperative hospital stay (p = 0.043), postoperative infection rate (p = 0.036) were significantly high in the PTLCP group than in the IMN group, while rate of malunion (p=0.041) and nonunion(0.037) were significantly high in IMN group than in PTLCP group. However there was no clear advantage of either technique in terms of functional recovery of knee. Conclusion: Present comparison of IMN and PTLCP for the treatment of proximal one third tibia fracture showed no clear advantage of either technique. Present study concluded that both forms of treatment (IMN and PTLCP) provide adequate fracture stability. Level of evidence: Level 2, randomized controlled trial.

Energy Efficiency Optimization in Multi-UAV Energy Harvesting Network

In order to alleviate the energy shortage problem and realize green communication, we propose a time division multiple access (TDMA) based multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) enabled energy harvesting (EH) system. Aiming at maximizing energy efficiency, we formulate a joint Optimization problem of the transmit power, EH time and data transmission time of ground users (GNs). To tackle this challenging problem, Dinkelbach Algorithm is firstly used to transform it into a convex problem. Then, to solve the connection relationship between UAVs and GNs in the optimization problem, we propose a Genetic Algorithm based GNs assignment scheme which includes the trajectory design of UAVs. Shortest path and load balancing are considered comprehensively in GNs assignment scheme. Finally, we propose a time and power joint optimization algorithm (TPJOA) based on Lagrangian dual method and obtain three possible optimal solutions for different cases. Simulation results show that our algorithm can achieve better system performance than the benchmark scheme.
Predictors of Use of Contraception among Married Women of Reproductive Age in a Rural Area of Nepal

Background : Universal access to family planning is a human right, central to gender equality and women’s empowerment, and a key factor in reducing poverty. Use of contraception can prevent pregnancies related complication, helps in improving the health of mother and children and improve quality of life. Objective: to find out the predictors of use of contraception among married women of reproductive age (15-49 years). Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was adopted to find out the predictors of use of contraception among married women in Morang District. Cluster Random Sampling technique was used and sample size was 281. Data was collected by face to face interview technique by pretested questionnaire. Chisquare, bivariate, multivariable logistic regression model was used, and statistical significance was determined with a 95 % confidence level. Results: Mean age of the respondents was 29.52±5.64 years. Current contraceptive prevalence rate was 39.9%. The significant predictors associated with use of contraception were education status of husband (Adjusted Odd Ratio [AOR]=0.331, 95% CI= 0.144-0.759), being desire of children (AOR=2.564, 95%CI=1.060-6.198), spousal communication on contraception (AOR=5.120, 95%CI=2.460-10.656), husband approval on contraception (AOR=8.048, 95%CI=4.047-16.006), and prior use of contraception (AOR= 0.122, 95% CI=0.055-0.272). The common barriers of utilization of contraception were husband disapproval (57.4%) followed by fear of side effects (29.6%). Conclusion : Contraceptive prevalence rates were low. So, continued joint efforts are required to increase use of contraception to improve maternal and child health. It is recommended to involve male in family planning.

Multivariable Extremum Seeking Controllers for Multi-Beam Steering using Reconfigurable Metasurfaces

Intelligent Reflecting Metasurfaces constitute a revolutionary technology that can alleviate the blockage problem in mm-Wave communications. In this paper, we consider a metasurface coding that can realize beam splitting of an incident beam in multiple directions and we address the problem of feedback-based adaptive reconfiguration of the metasurface controller states so that the reflected beams are guided towards two intended receivers. As the receiver locations are unknown and to counter system uncertainties, we employ feedback to maximize the received power at both receivers, aiming for standalone operation of the metasurface. Changes in both the elevation and azimuth angles of the transmitted beams are considered, thus necessitating a design beyond standard extremum-seeking controllers, which have proved to be ineffective. Our approach involves online parameter identification techniques for gradient estimation, coupled with the method of steepest ascent. The effectiveness of the method in guiding the beams towards the reference values is shown through simulations.
Effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza on growth and yield of lowland rice ecosystem

A field experiment was conducted with rice CO(R) 51 at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. There were ten treatment combinations replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. The treatments comprised of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) NPK (150:50:50) kg/ha, ZnSO4 @ 25 kg/ha as soil application as well as foliar spray @ 0.5%, 30 per cent of previous crop residue was incorporated as paddy straw @ 3.8 t/ha, Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) @ 50 kg/ha. The maximum plant height (99.7 cm), dry matter production (12,478 kg/ha), grain yield (6,677 kg/ha) and B:C ratio (2.81) were recorded significantly higher in RDF + AM + residue incorporation + ZnSO4 foliar spray over farmers practices of RDF alone and was nearly followed by application of RDF + AM + residue incorporation + ZnSO4 soil application.
Game form recognition in preference elicitation, cognitive abilities and cognitive load

This study further examines the failure of game form recognition in preference elicitation (Cason and Plott, 2014) by making elicitation more cognitively demanding through a cognitive load manipulation. We hypothesized that if subjects misperceive one game for another game, then by depleting their cognitive resources, subjects would misconceive the more-cognitively demanding task for the less-cognitively demanding task at a higher rate. We find no evidence that subjects suffer from a first-price-auction game-form misconception but rather that once cognitive resources are depleted, subjects' choices are better explained by random choice. More cognitively able subjects are more immune to deviations from sub-optimal play than lower cognitively able subjects.
Funding Conditions and Insurance Stock Returns: Do Insurance Stocks Really Benefit from Rising Interest Rate Regimes?

We examine funding conditions and U.S. insurance company stock returns. Although constrained funding conditions, signaled by restrictive Federal Reserve monetary policy, correspond with increases in the future payouts of fixed&#8208;income securities held by insurance firms and potentially provide value through the liability side of insurer balance sheets, they also decrease the values of securities currently held in insurer portfolios. Prior research finds that restrictive policy has a negative effect on equity returns in general. Our results suggest the negative impacts of constrained funding environments outweigh the potential positives, as insurance company stock returns are significantly lower during periods of constrained funding. This effect varies within a given funding state and also across insurer type. The effect is strongest during the first 3 months of a constrained funding environment and for life and health insurers&#8212;insurer types with longer portfolio durations. For property and liability (P&amp;L) insurers, lower stock return performance only exists in the first 3 months of a constrained funding environment. In the subsequent months, P&amp;L insurers actually have higher stock returns during constrained periods, consistent with their typically shorter duration asset portfolios, which are more quickly rolled over into new higher&#8208;yielding securities.
Antimicrobial Activity of Root Bark Extracts of Rhus n atalensisa and Rhus r uspolii

Bacteria and fungi are frequent causes of serious opportunistic infections worldwide. Several effective antibiotic drugs are in the market. However, drug-resistance, side effects and cost of such antibiotics limits their usefulness in disease management. About 80% of the world’s inhabitants still rely on traditional medicines based on herbal plants for their primary healthcare. Anti-infective agents from plant origin are preferred because they have no side effects and are readily available. Rhus species have several applications both in traditional and contemporary medicine yet scientific data to support such uses is scanty. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of Rhus natalensis Krauss and Rhus ruspolii Engl in management of microbial infections. Plant extracts were subjected to cytotoxicity, antibacterial and antifungal assays using standard methods. LC50 values n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts were 7.15, 13.35, 4.80, 16.70 and 42.53, 22.3, 19.70, 25.70 μg/ml for R. natalensis and R. ruspolii, respectively. The plant extracts showed moderate activities (P ≤ 0.05) against the tested bacteria (Gram-positive and Gram-negative) and fungi. In all the tests, bioactivities of the extracts were lower compared to activity of standard drugs which were used as controls. These findings support the use R. natalensis and R. ruspolii in treating bacterial and fungal infections. Further studies aimed at isolation and characterization of the bioactive principles is necessary with the hope of getting better antimicrobial agents. It is also necessary to determine the mechanism of action of the extracts.
Bridging the Action Gap by Democratizing Climate Change Education—The Case of k.i.d.Z.21 in the Context of Fridays for Future

Formal schooling frequently lacks both democratic learning culture and effective climate change education (CCE). This study analyzes the effects of the participatory CCE initiative k.i. d.Z. 21 and the impacts of the current Fridays For Future (FFF) climate protests on teenagers’ climate change awareness. The mixed-methods approach comprises online pre-and post-tests, and personal interviews with selected students. k.i. d.Z. 21 follows moderate constructivist, inquiry-based learning approaches and addresses 14-year old students from secondary schools in Austria and southern Germany. Considering the effectiveness of the CCE intervention of school year 2018/2019 (N = 169), quantitative findings reveal an increased mean of major components of climate change awareness, including climate-friendly behavior. When separating participants and non-participants in Fridays For Future, personal concern and refusing meat have both increased significantly only among protest participants. A closer examination of this group identifies an enhanced feeling of self-efficacy that might be triggered by perceived collective efficacy. Besides, more climate-friendly consumption behavior, as well as enhanced multiplicative action, are detected. The interviewed students also clearly assigned increased action-related components of climate change awareness to the attendance of FFF. From the findings, we conclude that democratic learning in and out of school can enhance action-related components of climate change awareness, and a combination of both can have an even stronger effect.
Cartilage repair mediated by thermosensitive photocrosslinkable TGFβ1-loaded GM-HPCH via immunomodulating macrophages, recruiting MSCs and promoting chondrogenesis

Repairing cartilage defects using thermosensitive hydrogels is an attractive treatment strategy, but the poor mechanical properties and limited understanding of the interactions between hydrogels and cells limit their application. Methods: In this study, a thermosensitive hydroxypropyl chitin hydrogel (HPCH) was functionalized with methacrylate groups to synthesize photocrosslinkable glycidyl methacrylate-modified HPCH (GM-HPCH). GM-HPCH could form a gel in situ through a thermosensitive sol-gel transition and its mechanical properties can be improved by UV irradiation. Cell viability, cell adhesion and anti-apoptosis activity of GM-HPCH were evaluated. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1) was introduced into the GM-HPCH hydrogel to fabricate the composite hydrogel. The macrophage immunomodulation, MSC recruitment and chondrogenesis of the composite hydrogel were evaluated. Results: With high biocompatibility, GM-HPCH could protect chondrocytes from apoptosis. Both the in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that GM-HPCH + TGFβ1 shifted the recruited macrophages from M1 to M2 and promoted chondrogenic gene expression. Additionally, the composite hydrogel could promote the migration of marrow stromal cells (MSCs) in the Transwell test and increase migrated gene expression. The fluorescent tracking of MSCs confirmed MSC homing in the rat chondral defect with the help of GM-HPCH. The macroscopic evaluation and histological results at 6 weeks and 12 weeks postsurgery showed that GM-HPCH + TGFβ1 can achieve superior cartilage healing. Conclusions: The GM-HPCH + TGFβ1 hydrogel effectively promoted cartilage repair via immunomodulating macrophages, recruiting MSCs and promoting chondrogenesis; thus it is a promising injectable hydrogel for cartilage regeneration.
