Authors: Jeya S. , Quraiza M. Thilsath Fatima
Published: July 2024

Botanical pesticides are of great importance in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Extracts of different plant parts are used for deterring and killing the various life stages of insects. Most of the oils produced by plants contain bioactive compounds with insecticidal properties.  Neem oil containing azadirachtin is an established insecticide and insect repellent. Use of synthetic pesticides for wood preservation leads to environmental pollution and health hazards to human beings and other living organisms. To avoid these problems neem, Azadiracta indica (A.Juss.) plant oil was used in this study and gave better results. The weight loss of card boards treated with neem was less like chlorpyrifos treated cardboards. Gravimetric measurements of cardboards shown 18.34gm and 16.85 gm weight which after 30 and 60 days of exposure to A. indica oil indicated that plant oil has potential effects like conventional pesticides like chlorpyrifos which showed the18.72 and 18.63 gm of weight in cardboards after 30 and 60 days of exposure. The P values was 0.036457 and 0.016527 for cardboards exposed to two treatments after 30 and 60 days respectively which is highly significant.

Architectural frameworks for financial transformation in Ukraine
Authors: Koldovskyi Artem
Published: July 2024

In the modern world, the importance of digital currencies as a tool for financial transformation and economic development is growing, especially in Ukraine, where new ways to stimulate economic growth and increase financial inclusion are being sought. The purpose of this study was to explore architectural frameworks for financial transformation through the use of digital currencies in Ukraine. Using a combined methodological approach that included an analysis of scientific literature, empirical research, and a study of the experiences of other countries in the field of digital currencies, the study applied statistical methods of data processing and comparative analysis. The article shows the need to develop adaptive architectural frameworks for the successful implementation of digital currencies in the financial system of Ukraine. In particular, the advantages of digital currencies in reducing transaction costs and increasing the availability of financial services to the population are identified. However, certain challenges related to instability and an insufficient regulatory framework have also been identified. The article identifies the problem of regulatory instability and the benefits, such as reduced transaction costs and increased access to finance, associated with the integration of digital currencies in Ukraine. The article also explores potential scenarios for the adoption of digital currencies in the financial landscape of Ukraine. These results can serve as a basis for developing practical strategies and policies for the implementation of digital currencies in Ukraine. Understanding the specific benefits and challenges associated with this process will allow for the most informed decisions on the modernisation of the country’s financial system
Business diversification and changes in perspective strategies for managing innovation activities during martial law
Authors: Hlushko Oleh
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this article was to study the changes in the directions of entrepreneurial activity and approaches to managing innovation in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The analysis shows that during the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Ukrainian market for innovation and development suffered significantly. This is evidenced by both the global innovation index of Ukraine and the European innovation index. This deterioration has had a significant impact on the development of innovation at Ukrainian enterprises. In order for an enterprise to function effectively in the context of war, more effort and attention should be paid to innovation and changes in the long-term strategies for managing such activities. The author identifies ten areas that should be implemented by Ukrainian enterprises in the context of war: the development of a “business core”, the introduction of artificial intelligence, machine learning, augmented and virtual reality, blockchain technologies, the introduction of “smart solutions” using the Internet of Things, as well as the implementation of “green reconstruction”, genetic engineering or biotechnology, quality improvement, and the creation of their own ecosystem. The study found that the main role in this process is played by the effective management of innovation activities, so it is important for Ukrainian enterprises to change their long-term management strategies. The process of changing the strategy of innovation management and choosing a new way of business diversification for Ukrainian entrepreneurs should take place in five consecutive stages: formation of an individual innovation process, increasing attention to research and development, internal sources of innovation, promoting the interaction of internal and external sources of innovation, combining various components into a single innovation system, and effective management of the created innovation ecosystem. The study identifies the main aspects that should be present in the changed strategies to enable enterprises to function as efficiently as possible during martial law. These aspects include accelerating the emergence of innovations, creating motivation to invest, and developing partnerships in the investment process
DOES TOURISM AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT MATTER FOR THE PROFITABILITY OF ISLAMIC BANKS: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM TÜRKIYE
Authors: CİVAN RAYAN
Published: July 2024

This study uses panel technique analysis to investigate tourism and foreign direct investment (FDI) on the profitability of Islamic banks in Türkiye. The findings suggest that while both external funding sources matter for the profitability of Islamic banks, the impact of tourism is negative, and foreign direct investment positively contributes to Islamic banks’ profitability. According to the research findings, external sources of funding matter for the profitability of Islamic banks, but in the case of tourism, the impact is negative. At the same time, foreign direct investment positively contributes to the profitability of Islamic banks. The findings suggest that the Turkish government should create an enabling environment for foreign investors by instituting incentives, tax holidays, and reliefs which would augment foreign direct investment and bolster the funds available to Islamic banks. To mitigate the adverse effects of tourism and secure the long-term profitability of Islamic banks, it is imperative for the banks to devise an effective market penetration strategy, identify suitable customer segments, and attract conventional businesses to their offerings. Based on these findings, this study advocates for a strategic approach to developing the Islamic banking sector in Türkiye, one that recognises the importance of external funding sources and promotes their optimal utilization for sustainable growth.
RELIGION AND THE STATE: THE FUNCTIONAL PURPOSES AND THE ISSUE OF LEGITIMACY
Authors: MOHAMMED AMEZZIAN
Published: July 2024

The present paper examines the importance of the functional criterion employed in assessing the legitimacy of the state in the context of political and Islamic communities. The main, underlying hypothesis is that the existence of the state, as envisaged by Muslims political scholars, is linked to the realization of the legitimate purposes as well as the empowerment of the Ummah’s sacred values and principles. This approach, which is based on the religious criterion of legitimacy presumes that the legitimacy of the state is contingent upon its commitments towards the requirements that were initially established to achieve. Regarding the methodology, this paper combines a historical approach to explore the origins of the state and its connection to religion, alongside content analysis aimed at comprehending the metaphysical foundation underlying the state’s inception. The paper concludes that the state, in its Islamic perspective, is a historical product, wherein text and history intertwine, resulting from the interaction of the political community that rule it with their believed religious metaphysics. This requires the subordination of the state to the Ummah as a functional tool rather than an independent entity.

Sequelae following an epidemic of meningococcal meningitis in Niger
Authors: Idrissa AA , Atti S , Wasaulua RK , Kazadi S , Guindo O , Tonamou G , Ciglenecki I , Coldiron ME
Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION
MSF supported Niger’s Ministry of Health (MoH) in responding to a serogroup C meningococcal meningitis epidemic in Magaria and Dungass Districts in 2022. WHO’s global roadmap for defeating meningitis by 2030 emphasises appropriate care for meningitis sequelae, but this is not yet part of standard epidemic response. Meningitis sequelae in the African meningitis belt are poorly described, hampering access to rehabilitation services. To better orient future care for sequelae, we performed a follow-up survey of survivors 9 months after the 2022 epidemic.

METHODS
WHO case definitions were used during the epidemic. Patient-level line-lists detailing village of origin were obtained from authorities, and results of polymerase chain reaction testing on cerebrospinal fluid were integrated. Guided by village leaders, study nurses attempted to visit cases at home to assess for sequelae. Nurses administered questionnaires asking about history including seizures and subjective vision and hearing loss; and carried out physical examinations assessing anosmia, weakness, and paralysis. Data were collected tablets using REDCap software. Prevalence of sequelae among survivors was calculated.

ETHICS
This study was approved by the MSF Ethics Review Board and by the National Ethics Committee for Health Research of Niger.

RESULTS
1001 suspected cases and 50 deaths (case fatality rate, CFR, 5.0%) originating in 230 villages were recorded on the line-lists. 469 cases (47%) had lumbar puncture, and 220 (47%) had a causative agent identified, including 192 cases of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C (NmC) and 22 Streptococcus pneumoniae. After excluding 82 cases living in villages difficult to access, we attempted to trace 919 cases, of whom 570 (62%) were found and consented to interview. Among these cases, 49 had died (CFR 8.6%). Among the cases visited, 151 had confirmed NmC and 10 S. pneumoniae. Among the 521 surviving cases evaluated, 62 (12%) had sequelae; the most common were hearing loss (29), paralysis (16), epilepsy (9), and developmental regression (6). Among the 138 surviving confirmed cases of NmC, 25 (18%) had one or more sequelae.

CONCLUSION
We documented a higher CFR than reported during the epidemic, and a high burden of sequelae among survivors, particularly among those with confirmed NmC infection. To our knowledge, this is the second time that meningitis sequelae have been documented in Niger; these findings help identify priorities for integrating meningitis after-care into epidemic responses. MSF and the MoH should work to ensure linkages to long-term care and support for meningitis survivors and their caregivers. We were unable to find all cases, so the true prevalence of sequelae among survivors may differ. This follow-up survey used simple methods adapted for in-home evaluation, and formal audiometry may have led to detection of more subtle hearing loss.

Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Perirectal Sclerotherapy with 50% Dextrose Injection as a Primary Surgical Procedure for Rectal Prolapse in Pediatric Patients: A Clinical Trial
Authors: Badebarin Davoud , Aslanabadi Saeid , Farhadi Ebrahim , Danaie Hamed , Eslami Sahand
Published: July 2024

Background: Rectal prolapse is a condition where the rectum protrudes through the anus. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of perirectal sclerotherapy using a 50% dextrose injection as a primary surgical procedure for rectal prolapse in children under 14 years of age. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and advantages of perirectal sclerotherapy using a 50% dextrose injection as a primary surgical procedure for rectal prolapse in pediatric patients. Methods: This clinical trial involved 40 patients diagnosed with rectal prolapse, who were treated with perirectal sclerosant (dextrose 50%) injection. All patients had grade III or grade IV rectal prolapse. Three injections of 50% dextrose were administered into the area around the anus and the submucosa, 2 - 3 cm above the dentate line, while the patient was in the lithotomy position. Injections were given at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions around the anus (1 cc/kg at the 6 o'clock position and 0.5 cc/kg at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions). The patients were followed up for recurrence and complications at three-month and six-month intervals, respectively. Results: The patients had an average age of 5.62 years, with the majority being male (77.5%). The average time between symptom onset and sclerotherapy administration was 6.60 ± 1.73 months. Five patients experienced edema around the anus and injection site on the first day of observation. At the second examination (one week later), only one patient had cellulitis. At the three-month visit, eight patients exhibited symptoms of rectal mucus discharge, which were considered mid-term complications. In the final examination at six months, four patients experienced prolapse recurrences. Conclusions: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that perirectal sclerotherapy using a 50% dextrose injection is an effective primary surgical procedure for rectal prolapse in children under 14 years of age. The treatment is simple, inexpensive, and associated with minimal risk of complications and short recovery times compared to open surgery.
