Credit supply in the market is crucial in order to ensure sustainable real production can survive in the market as well as to strengthen economic activity. Therefore, it is not surprising that when the financial crisis occurred in 2008 to 2009, policymakers continued to use a variety of mechanisms such that banks could continue to maintain their credit supply. Nevertheless, risk sharing based on the business model that was adopted by Islamic banks displayed different behaviour from the conventional banks. Based on prior studies, the stability of financing growth by Islamic banks as compared to lending growth of conventional banks showed the model used by Islamic banks was more capable of effectively withstanding the financial crisis. Therefore, research into the quality of lending and financing is important to understand the growth of bank lending and financing behaviour in the market. Hence, the main objective of this study is to review the effect of ownership structure, bank capital and bank lending including financing behaviour in Islamic versus conventional banks. In addition, this study proposes a conceptual framework to further comprehend the decisions made in undertaking ownership structure, bank capital and lending in the dual banking system.

The Umrah is an Islamic pilgrimage to holy cities of Makkah and Madinah and is performed by Muslims that can be undertaken at any time of the year. Umrah travel package is a common service used by consumer in Malaysia. The high demand for this service is contributed by better conditions of the economy in Malaysia so that raising awareness of Malaysian to perform Umrah and the number of registered Umrah pilgrims continued to increase annually. There are also many complaints reported in the Tribunal for Consumer Claims in relation to this service. The aim of the article is to analyse the extent to which the relevant laws protect the rights of Umrah consumers in Malaysia. Being qualitative in nature, this study collects relevant framework which include laws, regulations and guidelines which are related to Umrah services. The purpose is to analyse the adequacy of the existing consumer protection laws in protecting Umrah pilgrims. The result of the study indicated that in Malaysia, there is no self-standing law on Umrah pilgrims’ protection, though there are several laws which provide limited rights to pilgrims such as the law of contract, the law of tort, the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and the Tourism Industry Act 1992. The existing laws are inadequate to provide a comprehensive protection to the Umrah pilgrims. This article proves that there are many hindrances under the law of contract and the law of tort for Umrah pilgrims to seek for remedies. In addition, there exist lacunae and ambiguity in the statutory provisions under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and Tourism Industry Act 1992 which need further amendments. This study proposes improvement to the existing laws so that it will be able to provide adequate protection to the Umrah pilgrims.

The work explores internet governance in China, via a review of the most recent literature, and through a sociological analysis of users’ narratives. For this investigation, relevant scholarships were retrieved from Google Scholar (GS). The criteria for inclusion encompassed articles, conferences’ proceedings, and books’ chapters. To disclose subjective experiences, 12 Chinese nationals studying in 3 Thai universities were interviewed in depth. All members of the cohort had English language competence, but they were heterogenous in terms of background. The interviews were semi-structured, and they occurred at places selected by the target population. Due to privacy concerns, names were modified in reports. Findings suggest that attitudes towards information technology (IT), are controversial. On the one hand, interviewees recognize the cyberspace as a vector of growth, and freedom. On the other hand, they evaluate possible risks that may threaten stability. Suggested recommendations are the promotion of adequate administrative protection of citizens’ interests against arbitrary executive power, and the creation of anonymous fora for policy dialogue on issues of Internet governance.

Authors:   International Relations, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, Indonesia., Achsin Muhaimin Zulhair
Published: September 2019

Terrorism is a recognized global phenomenon particularly in the 21st century. Its landscape is highly determined by the actors’ changing and shifting nature as well as the pattern of the main battle field in Middle East and Afghanistan. As the most populous Muslim country in the world, Indonesia has experienced terrorist attacks especially since 2000 where multiple threats of bombing in several areas of the country had surfaced as the consequences of global terrorism’s wide spread networks and ideological influences. However, the two most recent suicide bombings in Surabaya - East Java on May 13, 2018 and Sibolga - North Sumatera on March 13, 2019 strongly indicate a new pattern of woman’s role in terrorism in Indonesia, shifting from passive to active. Utilizing these case studies and the technique of interpretative research, this paper aims to describe woman’s role in terrorist suicide bombing action, particularly in the context of Indonesia’s patriarchal culture. The finding shows a different role of woman in terrorism according to the differences of the various cultures. Therefore, this research fills the void of terrorism research particularly in Indonesia.

Mieloma multipel: aspek patogenesis molekuler
Authors: Bakta Made
Published: September 2019

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic plasma disorder that is characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow, monoclonal protein in the blood or urine and associated organ dysfunction. It is preceded by a premalignant tumor which is share genetic abnormalities, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Although remarkable progress has been achieved, but pathogenesis of MM is still very complex. Multiple myeloma appears to arise from the malignant transformation of germinal-center B-lymphocyte. The first oncogenic events in MM appear to occur in the germinal center due to error in isotype class switching and somatic hypermutation. MM is divided into two distinct genetic subtypes: (1) hyperdiploid myeloma is characterized by multiple trisomies of chromosome 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 19 and 21; (2) non-hyperdiploid in contrast is characterized by recurrence translocations t(4;14), t(14;16), t (14;20); t(6;14) and t(11;14). A unifying event in the pathogenesis of MM is the dysregulated expression of cyclin D gene. Genetic aberrations occur in MM and also in premalignant state (MGUS), suggesting that genetic mutations alone are necessary, but not sufficient for myeloma transformation. A “ random second hit model” was proposed. Hypothetical second hits are: additional genetic changes ( RAS mutation, p16 methylation, p53 mutation), proliferation due to cell cycle dysregulation, evasion of programmed cell death and changes in bone marrow microenvironment. A complex interaction with the BM microenvironment , characterized by activation of osteoclast and supression of osteoblast , leads to lytic bone lesions.

Identifying Priority Areas for Increasing the Supply of Medication-Assisted Treatments for Opioid Use Disorder: A Geospatial Approach
Authors: Topmiller Michael , Mallow Peter J. , Vissman Aaron T. , Grandmont Jene
Published: September 2019

Background: The opioid epidemic has disproportionately affected several areas across the United States (US), with research indicating that these areas may be underserved and lack access to sufficient medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options. The objective of this study was to introduce a geospatial analytical framework for identifying sub-state priority areas to target federal allocation of MAT training and resources.

Methods: We used a geospatial analytical framework, which integrated multiple substance use measures and layers of geographic information. Measures included estimates of illicit drug dependence and unmet treatment need from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), opioid-related admissions from the Treatment Episode Data Set: Admissions (TEDs-A), and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) waiver practitioner data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Analyses included standard deviation outlier mapping, local indicators of spatial autocorrelation (LISA), and map overlays.

Results: We identified twenty-nine opioid dependence priority areas, eleven unmet treatment need priority areas, and seven low MAT capacity priority areas, located across the US, including southeastern Ohio, western Indiana, the District of Columbia, New England, and northern and southern California.

Conclusions: This study identified several areas across the US that have unmet need for MAT. Targeting these areas will allow for the most effective deployment of cost-effective MAT resources to aid the greatest number of patients with opioid use disorders.

Published: September 2019

Introduction: The presence of H. pylori in the stomach is associated with gastric pathologies. However, its diagnosis through culture methods is challenging because of its complex nutritional requirements and microaerophilic conditions for optimal growth. The preferred method for rapid diagnosis of H. pylori is the Rapid Urease Test (RUT) from human biopsies, which relies on the high activity of the urease enzyme present in H. pylori. However, RUT cannot say much more information about H. pylori. This makes evident the need for bacterial culture to know essential information such as the strain type, the kind of infection present and the bacteria’s antibiotic susceptibility.
Methodology: Gastric biopsies from 347 patients were used for H. pylori isolation. We correlated the culture results with the RUT and histological grading used at Hospital Universitario Fundación SantaFe de Bogotá (HU-FSFB), Colombia. The concordance between techniques was determined by the Cohen’s Kappa coefficient (K). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were also calculated.
Results: The culture standardization was successful, and it could be applied for diagnosis in the clinical practice. H. pylori was positive by culture in 88 (26.34%) patients. The concordance of RUT and culture was strong (K= 0.805), and between histology and culture was moderate (K= 0.763) as well as for the gold standard defined and culture (K= 0.80).
Conclusions: We present evidence that RUT and histological methods will be better interpreted for diagnosis of H. pylori if combined with bacterial isolation in cholesterol enriched culture.

Authors: Yang Jin-sun , Du Zhi-xiang
Published: September 2019

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the basis for a differential diagnosis of lymph node tuberculosis and histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis.

Methodology: This study selected 85 cases of lymph node tuberculosis (Group A patients) and 26 cases of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Group B patients). The clinical and pathology features on both groups were analysed.

Results: The Group A patients were older than the Group B patients (t = 5.233, P < 0.01); The Group B patients had less tuberculosis exposure history (x2 = 4.279, P < 0.01), and a higher frequency of tenderness (χ2 = 8.109, P < 0.01) and fever (x2 = 31.923, P < 0.01). The Group A patient group had a higher WBC level (t = 2.980, P < 0.01) and lower serum ALB (t = 5.508, P < 0.01); As seen through ultrasound imaging, Group B patients had more clear boundaries (70.59%), higher low-echo rates (82.36%) and low calcification rates (0%), Group A patients for whom these rates was 25.76%, 40.91% and 25.76% respectively. In terms of pathology data, the main manifestations of Group A patients were granulomatous inflammation with caseous necrosis, multinuclear giant cell reaction, and in some cases, acid-fast bacilli smears (+). In Group B patients, there were instances of coagulative necrosis surrounded by foam-like tissue cells without neutrophil infiltration.

Conclusion: We found that the epidemiological history, clinical symptoms, laboratory examinations, ultrasound imaging and changes in pathology are very important for the identification of lymph node tuberculosis and histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis.
Functional landscape of Sila Grande (Calabria, Italy): Vegetation dynamism and synphytosociology
Authors: Uzunov Dimitar , Gangale Carmen
Published: September 2019

The aim of this presentation is to present practical problems related to the land management and biodiversity conservation, using methods of landscape analysis through approaches of synphytosociology. The study area was Sila Grande (Calabria, S Italy), for which an exhaustive bibliographic analysis was carried out and cartographic materials were collected. Spatial data and different themes were organized in a Geographic Information System (GIS), proceeding with a first segmentation (environmental patches identification) based on geomorphologic, geological land use, bioclimatic, etc. In addition, an analysis of mountainous plant communities was carried out, based on 1047 phytosociological relevés (554 original) in order to investigate paleo-geographic, ecological and anthropic factors that influence floral and vegetation diversity.

Data from literature and field studies (1998–2013) have been critically analyzed in order to clarify the syntaxonomic position of the main vegetation types. Twenty-six new syntaxa (associations and subassociations) are proposed and an updated sintaxonomic scheme is presented.

Querco-Fagetea and Molinio-Arrhenetheretea are the most represented classes in the area due to the bioclimatic factors. Wet communities (Isoeto-Nanojuncetea, Nardetea strictae, ScheuchzerioCaricetea fuscae, Montio-Cardaminetea and Littorelletea uniflorae) have a significant biogeographical importance due to a rich group of boreal species. This “Nordic imprint” of the flora, vegetation and landscape is of special interest and its peculiarities are analyzed from ecological and biogeographycal point of view. Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean elements prevail in the dry grasslands and shrublands.

Some problems about the dynamics of vegetation are discussed such as the role of black pine communities and their relations with beech forests, trying also to provide clues for conservation strategies and management.
Factor de Impacto y comportamiento bibliométrico de las revistas de “Film, Radio & Television” de Web of Science
Authors: De la Torre-Espinosa Mario , Repiso Rafael , Montero Díaz Julio
Published: September 2019

En el presente artículo se analiza el comportamiento bibliométrico de las revistas incluidas en la categoría “Film, Radio & Television” indexadas en Web of Science, tanto en Arts & Humanities Citation Index como en Emerging Sources Citation Index. Previamente, se estudia la validez del Factor de Impacto a 2 años para la categoría, comparándolo con una ventana de citación de 3 y 5 años para A&HCI, demostrando una alta similitud en su comportamiento, y se analizó la nacionalidad de los centros de adscripción de los autores. También se estudió la lengua de publicación, periodicidad, tipología de los documentos y la red de citación entre revistas. Entre los resultados del trabajo, se ofrece el ranking 2017 de las revistas según su Factor de Impacto. Destaca el que tres cuartas partes del total (74,6%) correspondan al Reino Unido y Estados Unidos, lo que indica un profundo sesgo geográfico e idiomático. Asimismo, solo 26 de las 64 revistas intercambian citas de artículos, sin que exista ningún núcleo central, lo que demuestra falta de cohesión en la selección de las publicaciones.

El presente artículo presenta la construcción del Índice de Accesibilidad para México MAI, el cual está orientado a medir los niveles de implementación de la WCAG 2.0 en los cibermedios mexicanos. Para conseguir este objetivo se evalúa el número de errores reportados por la herramienta TAW de 1531 cibermedios mexicanos. El MAI es construido utilizando AHP como método de ponderación, LST como método de normalización y la agregación geométrica. Se destaca el alto nivel de cumplimiento de la norma WCAG 2.0 lo que arroja un MAI promedio de 94.5%. Este alto rendimiento es impulsado por los resultados sobresalientes en los principios de operabilidad y comprensión. Además, se encontró que el principio de robustez es el que presenta menores niveles de cumplimiento. Se destaca a www.contrasena.com.mx como el cibermedio con el mejor desempeño a la luz de los lineamientos.
Opinión pública e innovación: una exploración de las percepciones y actitudes de la sociedad española ante la innovación
Authors: Iturrate-Meras Diana , Fernández-Esquinas Manuel
Published: September 2019

Este artículo realiza una exploración de las actitudes hacia la innovación a través de indicadores cuantitativos que permiten apreciar cuál es el estado de la opinión pública en un sistema de innovación. El principal objetivo es analizar la percepción pública de la innovación utilizando el caso español como lugar estratégico de observación. Para ello se han utilizado datos procedentes de una encuesta representativa de la población española diseñada con este propósito (n=2500). Las percepciones han sido observadas a través de los significados asociados a la innovación por parte de los ciudadanos, el apoyo al gasto público en innovación y la importancia atribuida a la innovación en diferentes sectores de actividad. Los análisis realizados dan lugar a una tipología de grupos de población que representan diferentes posicionamientos ante innovaciones con componente tecnológico y social. La exploración de las características socioeconómicas muestra cómo la edad, el nivel de estudios y la condición socioeconómica respecto al trabajo moldean la percepción de la innovación.

Published: September 2019

La red de infocentros de Ecuador constituye el eje vertebrador de los procesos de alfabetización informacional del país, siendo un punto esencial en el desarrollo de las Políticas TIC, por su fuerte inversión y capacidad de conectar todo el territorio. Por ello, se analiza a través de esta red la situación actual de los procesos de empoderamiento digital de la población ecuatoriana. Asimismo, este estudio evalúa su capacidad de intermediación en el proceso de empoderamiento ciudadano, especialmente orientados a colectivos específicos como mujeres, minorías indígenas y personas con diversidad funcional. Los datos para el estudio se han obtenido de la aportación de los propios responsables de los centros. Para ello, se aplicó un cuestionario a una muestra de 829 infocentros del país. La tasa de respuesta obtenida fue del 35,8%. Los resultados muestran: su grado de desarrollo, capacidad formativa e implicación en favorecer el empoderamiento en función de distintos colectivos. Asimismo, permitió detectar problemas reales en su gestión y tendencias o líneas de acción futuras. El estudio concluye la importancia vital de estos centros para la reducción de la brecha digital en el país mediante evidencias de su utilidad formadora. Se plantean varios retos para su supervivencia: la necesaria colaboración con los agentes locales y el desarrollo de programas de empoderamiento digital para colectivos específicos. El presente estudio destaca por su carácter único y revelador y puede servir de soporte para la toma de decisiones por parte de los responsables políticos, o bien, como instrumento de reflexión y análisis para los agentes sociales implicados.
Social Networking and Language Learning
Authors: Çakmak Fidel
Published: September 2019

This chapter gives a brief overview on the use of social network sites (SNSs) for language learning and presents an empirical study of the use of Instagram (IG), one of the most popular SNSs, to assess learners' oral communication skills in the foreign language classroom. Several studies have mainly revealed the perceptions and preferences of learners in regards to using SNSs for learning grammar, vocabulary, L2 writing, reading, and speaking. In the current study, the performance scores of participants on an oral communication speaking task delivered both on IG and in class, as well as their scores on the Big Five personality traits as measured by the Quick Big Five Personality Test (QBFPT), were examined statistically. The results demonstrate IG facilitated students' performance in oral communication skill significantly and that personality traits do not predict the performance on IG, but the extroverted and conscientious are highly likely to achieve high scores in classroom.
