Financial intermediation in Islamic banks: an analytical jurisprudence study
Authors: Abu-mounes Raed
Published: December 2020

Determining the function of the Islamic bank and the nature of its financial intermediation is one of the most important bases of Islamic banking thought. As it forms the two approaches in the view of the Islamic banking theorists, one of which is called the approach of the bank as a merchant and the second as the approach of the bank as an intermediary/broker. Consequently, there has been a difference in the extent to which bank ownership has been achieved, and the extent to which the financial benefit of the acquired returns has been achieved. The study analyzed the dimensions of the mediation and its implications from the point of view of the two approaches. The study worked on analyzing the economic effects resulting from the expansion of the selling mediation of the Islamic banks, the most important of which is: the fact that Islamic banks are supportive financial institutions, not competitors with other economic institutions, and it is within the framework of Merchant Broker, for the potential monopolistic institution. The study concluded that the ideal model for the nature and particularity of financial intermediation in Islamic banks is the model based on participation in the production factors, participation in the product, with the financial asset remaining in its owner's possession; a possession which reflects the idea of an organizing partner and a manager. This model allows the Islamic bank to act as a banking intermediary and not a trader. Therefore, the Business rules relating to acquisition and possession would differ in their concept and consequences.

يعد تحديد وظيفة المصرف الإسلامي، وطبيعة الوساطة المالية التي يقوم بها من أهم المرتكزات في الفكر المصرفي الإسلامي، حيث تشكل منهجان عند المنظرين للمصرفية الإسلامية، ينادي أحدهما بمنهجية المصرف التاجر، والثاني بالمصرف الوسيط، وبناء على ذلك حصل الاختلاف في مدى تحقق التملك المصرفي؛ والاختلاف في مدى تحقق الاستحقاق المالي للعوائد المكتسبة. وقامت الدراسة بتحليل أبعاد الوساطة ومقتضياتها من وجهة نظر المنهجين، وعملت الدراسة على تحليل الأثار الاقتصادية الناتجة عن التوسع في الوساطة البيعية للمصارف الإسلامية، ومن أهمها: كون المصارف الإسلامية مؤسسات مالية داعمة لا منافسة لمؤسسات الاقتصاد الأخرى، وهي في إطار الوسيط التاجر مؤسسات احتكارية محتملة. وتوصلت الدراسة إلى أن النموذج الأمثل لطبيعة وخصوصية الوساطة المالية في المصارف الإسلامية النموذج القائم على المشاركة في عوامل الإنتاج، مشاركة في الناتج مع بقاء الأصل المالي على ملك صاحبه ملكا يعكس فكرة الشريك المنظم والمدير، وهو النموذج الذي يتيح للمصرف الإسلامي العمل كوسيط مصرفي، لا كتاجر، ومن ثم؛ فإن قواعد العمل المتعلقة بالقبض والحيازة ستختلف في مفهومها وتبعاتها.

Objectives the development of a preoperative planning method for long tubular bone osteosynthesis using the contralateral healthy bone.
Material and methods.To justify the usage of the opposite limbs intact segment model in order to reconstruct the damaged one, their matching in shape and size was analyzed. We built three-dimensional models of the right and left segments of the upper limbs of 20 people and compared them using the Hausdorff distance calculation algorithm. For treatment of a 24-year-old patient with a closed humerus fracture, an individual stereolithographic surgical template with fracture lines was created with the help of computed tomography data of the healthy humerus bone processed by AUTOPLAN EXPERT software. This template was used for pre-bending the plate for osteosynthesis. The plate positioning on the template defined the surgical approach, taking into account the anatomical structures located in the projection of the fracture line and the plate. The technique of "reverse bone reposition" on the prepared plate was applied.
Results.With the help of the created 3D models we revealed the size differences of the symmetrical segments of upper limbs. The greatest difference in the limits was registered in the area of the epiphyses (heads of the humeri) up to 6.8 mm, and the smallest throughout the entire diaphysis, less than 1.5 mm. Due to preoperative planning there were no intraoperative and postoperative complications, the installation of the plate and osteosynthesis was convenient. The fracture consolidation took place in 3 months.
Conclusion.The proposed method has a number of advantages. It is possible to make a stereolithographic template even for a seriously damaged bone with a copied fracture line. This allows the surgeon to plan the details of osteosynthesis, to model the plate according to the template, to determine the required length and shape of the surgical approach, thus reducing the surgical risks and injury for the patient.

Understanding the root causes of the conflict in Yemen
Authors: Albasoos Hani , Al Hinai Buthaina
Published: December 2020

Following the Arab Spring in 2011, Yemen’s devastating conflicts have deepened even further, leading the country to be the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Despite the international community's multiple attempts to resolve this conflict, the conflict seems to have reached a stalemate. To make matters worse, resolving the conflict is made difficult by the large number of parties involved, internally and externally, and by the complex, dual and fluid nature of the relationships they share. Although the media and international community's focus is directed towards the binary conflict between the Hadi government and Saudi Arabia on one side and Iran and the Houthis on the other, the conflict is greatly multifaceted and far from being binary. This paper critically analyzes and explores other participating actors to comprehend the root causes of the conflict entirely. Although this conflict has been advertised as a proxy war, while others trace back the motivation to sectarianism, this paper argues how this analysis can be misleading and hindering the peace process.

USEFULNESS OF ADDING BIOTHESIOMETRY TO CLINICAL ASSESSMENT PROTOCOLS IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY AFFECTING LOWER LIMBS
Authors: G Padma Kumar , P Selvan , Zachariah George , Gafoor S Abdul
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND
Diabetes Mellitus is a major health problem of which Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is an important complication resulting in ulceration and amputation. There are a number of bedside tests and evaluation which has been suggested for early diagnosis of DPN. This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of Biothesiometry when combined along with Diabetic Neuropathy Symptom Score (DNS) and Diabetic Neuropathy Examination Score (DNE) as compared against Nerve Conduction Study (NCS). NCS is considered as the gold standard in diagnosis of DPN.
METHODS
This is a cross-sectional study which was done in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala which is a tertiary level referral center. The study was done in a one-year period between January 2018 and January 2019 in patients with diabetes who satisfied the inclusion criteria. Patients were first evaluated with a Performa which included DNS and DNE scoring and compared with NCS parameters. Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT) was assessed with a Biothesiometer and the combined results were compared with Nerve Conduction Study (NCS). The values obtained were entered in excel sheet and statistically evaluated.
RESULTS
127 patients with Diabetes were recruited into the study out of which 49 were males and 78 were females with a mean age of 57.2 +/- 9.9 years. When patients who were clinically positive for DPN on evaluation with DNS and DNE were compared with NCS parameters, it was shown that there was a sensitivity of 96.2 % and specificity of 38.1% and when VPT measurement using Biothesiometer was added to the clinical evaluation the sensitivity was 100% with a negative predictive value of 100% and specificity of 23.8%. This study has shown that all of the patients who tested negative were true negatives.
CONCLUSION
This study concluded that addition of Biothesiometry to the combination of DNS, DNE for the evaluation of DPN is as good as NCS evaluation. Hence this combination will be useful in rural settings, where accessibility to expensive Electrodiagnostic machine is limited.
EFFECTS ON ADJACENT SEGMENT AFTER MINIMUM FIVE-YEARS FOLLOWING INSTRUMENTED LUMBAR SPINAL FUSION IN INDIAN POPULATION
Authors: Pithwa Yogesh Kishorkant
Published: December 2020

Adjacent segment degeneration [ASD] after instrumented lumbar spinal fusion has been studied extensively in non-Indian population. Present study attempts to evaluate incidence of and factors predisposing to ASD in the Indian population. This was a retrospective study with the inclusion criteria being: patients who underwent lumbar spinal fusion for spondylolisthesis, trauma, infection or deformity with a minimum five-year follow-up. Exclusion criteria: postoperative iatrogenic surgical-site infections, revision surgeries, postoperative implant failure and pseudarthrosis. Radiographs reviewed immediate postoperatively, and at final follow-up. Global lumbar lordosis from L1-S1; and angulation and translation of spinal motion segment immediately adjacent [cranial and caudal] to fused segment were studied. ASD was defined using White and Panjabi’s criteria. At final follow-up, VAS for lower back as well as lower limbs was noted separately along with walking distance. Twenty patients [49.4+17.4years] included [six males, fourteen females]. ASD was seen in 13 of 20 [65%] patients. Age>50years at the time of surgery and global lumbar lordosis <40° in the immediate postoperative period were identified as significant risk factors for ASD [p=0.02 and 0.03, respectively]. However, no significant correlation was noted between development of ASD and extension of fusion to sacrum. Nor was there any correlation between ASD and gender or length of fusion. It was also notable that no significant differences were identified in VAS scores and walking distance between patients with and without ASD. To conclude, among the various factors studied, age>50years at the time of surgery and immediate postoperative global lumbar lordosis <400 were significantly associated with development of ASD after a minimum follow-up of five years.

Context: Role of chest xray to aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of COVID 19 pneumonia.
Aims:To evaluate the imaging features of routine chest X-ray in patients referred for novel Coronavirus 2019 infection.
Settings and design: Retrospective observational study in a dedicated COVID 19 hospital in Central India
Methods and materials:RT-PCR positive patients for SARS-CoV-2 infection were evaluated. Demographic and clinical data were recorded. All the CXR images were evaluated for the following findings: reticular opacities, alveolar opacities (AO) alone or in combination, consolidation and/or pleural effusion. We stratified patients in groups according to the time interval between day of admission and X-ray imaging and according to clinical presentation.
Statistical analysis:Continuous variableswereexpressedasmean±SDvalues.Thefrequency of the radiographic findings was expressed as the number of occurrences and percentage in every single cluster, compared using chi square test.
Results:A total of 486 patients were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Lung lesions primarily manifested in 40% of the patients out of which the most frequent alteration wasconsolidations (41%) followed by AO(28%), pleural effusion( 18.5%) and reticular opacities (11%) and more frequently bilateral (59%)with a peripheral predominance (83%).Among paediatric patients, 20% CXR showed positive findings, out of which the most frequent alteration was AO(54%).For the patients whose CXR was done within 3 days of admission more frequently had AO and reticular opacities, in comparison to those whose x ray was done after 3 days of admission.
Conclusions: The most common X-ray pattern is multifocal and peripheral, associated with consolidatory changes. Chest X-raycan be considered a reliable diagnostic tool especially in developingcountries with meagre resources.
An Improved Simulation Model for Pedestrian Crowd Evacuation
Authors: Muhammed Danial A. , Rashid Tarik A. , Alsadoon Abeer , Bacanin Nebojsa , Fattah Polla , Mohammadi Mokhtar , Banerjee Indradip
Published: December 2020

This paper works on
one of the most recent pedestrian crowd evacuation models, i.e., “a simulation
model for pedestrian crowd evacuation based on various AI techniques”,
developed in late 2019. This study adds a new feature to the developed model by
proposing a new method and integrating it with the model. This method enables the
developed model to find a more appropriate evacuation area design, among others
regarding safety due to selecting the best exit door location among many
suggested locations. This method is completely dependent on the selected
model's output, i.e., the evacuation time for each individual within the
evacuation process. The new method finds an average of the evacuees’ evacuation
times of each exit door location; then, based on the average evacuation time,
it decides which exit door location would be the best exit door to be used for
evacuation by the evacuees. To validate the method, various designs for the
evacuation area with various written scenarios were used. The results showed
that the model with this new method could predict a proper exit door location
among many suggested locations. Lastly, from the results of this research using
the integration of this newly proposed method, a new capability for the
selected model in terms of safety allowed the right decision in selecting the
finest design for the evacuation area among other designs.
El papel del turismo en funcionamiento de las comunidades rurales en Ecuador

Published: December 2020

Abstract/short description

The decade of 1990's was a time of great development of tourism in Ecuador – during this period tourism has become a key part of the economy. Following this, the Ministry of Tourism was created in 1992. The most important is a very big influx of foreigner tourists - in 1996 Ecuador was visited by half a million tourists. This great number was the result of varied attractions being available, from beach resorts to natural parks and countryside. Skoczek suggests that the rise in the number of visitors comes especially from the interest in the latter. She describes the development of ecotourism in Ecuador and its influence on rural communities.

Improving the LGBTQ2S+ cultural competency of healthcare trainees: Advancing health professional education.
Authors: Lee Matthew , Tasa-Vinyals Elisabet , Gahagan Jacqueline
Published: December 2020

Background: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, and Two-spirit (LGBTQ2S+) populations experience worse health outcomes compared to age-matched heterosexual and cisgender peers. Health professionals’ deficient knowledge and negative attitudes can contribute to these inequities. Healthcare trainees report insufficient LGBTQS2+ cultural competence training.

Methods: In this prospective, mixed-methods pre-post design, Atlantic Canadian health students were tested on knowledge, attitudes and self-reported behaviours towards LGBTQ2S+ populations in healthcare settings. Assessment included psychometric measurements and clinical cases involving normative and non-normative fictional patients. Participants were randomised to intervention or control groups. The intervention consisted of three training sessions lead by LGBTQ2S+ experts and elders from the community. The control group continued with usual training. Full assessment was repeated after training. We also held focus group discussions with students and faculty.

Results: The intervention group significantly improved attitudes toward and knowledge of LGBTQ2S+ populations and changed relevant aspects of their performance in the simulated clinical situations. Focus groups identified key gaps in current local training.

Conclusions: Integrating specific training related to LGBTQ2S+ health within health professions programs is an important step toward improving these populations’ accessibility to a competent, exhaustive and nurturing healthcare. Additional research on innovative means to expand and broaden the scope of our training is warranted.

Authors: Marzec Andrzej
Published: December 2020

The author analyzes Sven Agustijnen's Specters from the philosophical perspective. He tries to prove that the cinema of the Belgian director is haunted because it presents the reality as made out of traces, which disturb the traditional division into presence and absence. The author analyzes Augustijnen's film techniques and uses Jacques Derrida hauntology to show, how contemporary cinema tries to face the difficult and unfinished colonial history of Belgium (the genocide in Congo during the reign of the Belgian king Leopold II and the murder of the first prime minister of the independent Congo, Patrice Lumumba).

The paper based on the analysis of two sources — Inventory revision book of the Tara uezd (parish) and Tara Inventory Revision book of 1701 — deals with the landowing forms typical to the Tatars and Bokharians in the early XVIII centuries. Cropland and noncropland were included in the descriptions together with hayfield meadows, enclosed pasture and partially fishing spots. They had specific peculiarities in different ethno-social groups of taxed estate. The main landowing form for the Tatar servicemen was household land consolidation. Small settlements and own mowings were also typical. Landowing of the Tatars who were imposed a tribute in furs was collective. Among Bokhariansland owners and lackland people were distinguished, the lands were primarily used by families or clans. Tatar servicemen and those imposed a tribute in furs and Bokharians also collectively used mowing, noncropland and enclosed pasturesbecause of cohabitation in neighbouring or the same settlements.

Altai in the light of the cult of the mountain and sky: to the problem of the origin of the toponym
Authors:   Institute for Humanitarian Research and Problems of Indigenous Peoples of the North, SB RAS, Vasiliev V. E.
Published: December 2020

The article suggests a working hypothesis that the root of the toponym «Altai” is the semantics of the sacred mountain, which at the tribal, tribal, and then national-ethnic level symbolizes the sacred center of the universe, associated with the cults of ancestors and deities. The ethnographic materials of T. D. Dyrenkova testify to the close connection of the cult of mountains with the spirits-ancestors of shamans, who acted as defenders of the genus and tribe of the Turks of the Altai-Sayan highlands. This information, in our opinion, is confirmed by etymological experience of comparisons of Turkic-Mongol and partly tunguso-Manchu terms. The semantic unity or close similarity of the concepts of mountain, ancestors and sky can shed light on the archaic beliefs of the Turkic ethnic groups, whose shamanism dates back to the common Altaic layer of culture. Thus, it can be assumed that the cult of the sacred Altai existed in the Neolithic past, even before the bronze age and the culture of the early nomads of the Scytho-Saka world.

The process of institutionalizing the collection and analysis of oral recollections on the basis of specific projects and international cooperation is shown in stages. Methods of research, which were accompanied by field and research practice, are described in detail. The article discusses specific methods of field research of local communities (mahalla) and small towns of Uzbekistan. The author notes specific problems of conducting oral-historical research, such as the official discourse in the memoirs of veterans, the observance of ethics in relation to the researcher and the respondent, the problem of language and others.
