Authors: Fleary Kevin Michael
Published: October 2020

The informal economy has been the topic of debate for some time now and given its significant effect on the revenue, economists and policy decision makers alike have sought greater control to their dismay. This can be contributed to the lack of informal statistics on China, fueling assumptions that have not born results. To address the problem, this paper seeks to estimate the size of China’s informal economy using the Currency Demand Model. The central theme forwarded in this research is that China is experiencing its Lewis Turning Point and the industry changes positively impact the growth of the underground economy. Given this statement, the authors present a conceptual model that depicts the growth and movement of the informal economy in relation to China’s economic changes. As a means to provide intuition for decision makers as China transition to the 13th National Development Plan.

Published: October 2020

The noticeable lack of accepted and unified models of Customer Relationship Management generally leads to failures in the implementation of CRM projects, particularly when organizations adopt the limited technology perspective. In an attempt to evaluate the different perspectives of CRM, this research paper focus on the perspective that proposes that effective CRM implementations typically involve the four dimensions: (1) customer orientation (2) knowledge management (3) CRM organization, and (4) CRM technology. Our study evaluates the impact of CRM dimensions and hotel performance (occupancy rate) in Morocco.  A sample of 80 Moroccan hotels was surveyed. Regression and other tests were used for analyses and interpretation. Our results reveal a significant positive impact of customer orientation, knowledge management, and CRM organization on occupancy rate. While CRM technology has been demonstrated to not significantly affect hotels’ occupancy rate.

The management of dermatophytosis is challenging in India and there are reports of using systemic antifungals at higher doses. But there are multiple reports of increased treatment failures with terbinafine at standard dosage as well, hence we conducted this study to compare efficacy and safety of high dose of terbinafine with itraconazole at standard dose. Topical ciclopirox olamine was used in both arms.

This was randomized, open label, comparative study where 80 patients with tinea corporis et cruris infection were included. Patients were either prescribed terbinafine 250mg twice a day or itraconazole 100mg twice a day for 4 weeks. Efficacy was assessed based on complete, clinical and mycological cure rate. Safety was assessed by evaluating adverse events and monitoring liver function of patients.

Total 76 patients completed the study with 38 in each group. 81.5% patients achieved complete cure in terbinafine group compared to 76.31% patients in itraconazole group. At the end of six weeks, there was a statistically significant improvement (p value<0.05) in the total symptom score (erythema, scaling, and pruritus) in Group I as well as in Group II compared to baseline. None of the patients showed any significant side effect in both Itraconazole and Terbinafine groups. No changes in liver function were observed in both the groups.

This study shows that the high dose of terbinafine in combination with topical ciclopirox is effective and safe in management of tinea corporis et cruris.

Basic Fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) increases proliferation of melanocytes in the pigmentation of vitiligous area. Tacrolimus is well established topical immunomodulator with action at multiple immune as well as inflammatory pathways. The combination of treatment modalities acting via different mechanisms have proven beneficial in management of vitiligo

A phase IV, randomized, open label, non-comparative, prospective, multicenter study conducted among patients with stable vitiligo to evaluate efficacy and safety of topical combination of bFGFrP and tacrolimus in comparison with tacrolimus monotherapy. The efficacy assessment parameters after 12 months of treatment were, improvement in extent of repigmentation (EOR), grade of repigmentation (GOR), patient global assessment (PGA).

Out of 120 randomized patients, at the end of the study, after 12 months of treatment, the combination group (bFGFrP + T) showed significant improvement in EOR with 66.7% patients (n=54) achieving greater than 50% of repigmentation as compared to only 39.2% in tacrolimus group (n=51). Significantly higher mean response rate (66.75%) was observed in combination group than tacrolimus monotherapy group (46.47%).

After 12 months of treatment, combination of bFGFrP and Tacrolimus leads to significantly better results with rapid repigmentation and response rates in stable vitiligo patients, with a favorable safety profile.

Published: October 2020

Objectives: The purpose was to evaluate the impact of an oral health promotion program including supervised toothbrushing and educational packages for parents on parent’s knowledge and oral health status of 6- to 7-year-old schoolchildren.
Materials and Methods: A multi-stage cluster random sampling method was applied, and schools were allocated to intervention and control groups. After ethical clearance and baseline evaluation, an intervention package consisting of supervised toothbrushing at the school setting, an educational package for parents, and a home package containing toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste (1000 parts-per-million) were delivered. A post-intervention evaluation was performed after one month on parents’ oral health knowledge and oral hygiene of children using the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S). Schools were considered as a unit of randomization, and a generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis was performed to apply the cluster effect. Descriptive and analytical analyses were performed using SPSS 22 software.
Results: Overall, 701 subjects were re-examined (response rate of 95%). At the one-month follow-up, being in the intervention group (P<0.001, B=-0.028, 95% confidence interval (CI)=-0.33, -0.23) and having higher socioeconomic status [P=0.01, B=-0.12, 95% CI=-0.22, -0.03) were significantly associated with improved oral hygiene status. In the post-test evaluation, parents’ knowledge improvement score regarding oral health in the intervention group was not statistically different from that of the controls (0.51 vs. 0.23). However, the ∆OHI-S improved in the post-test evaluation (-0.27±0.02 vs. 0.02±0.02; P<0.001).
Conclusion: Children showed improved oral hygiene status, as measured by the OHI-S, after the program consisting of supervised toothbrushing.

Published: October 2020

Drinking ice-cold water is prohibited in Avicenna’s “The Canon of Medicine” book in which he emphasized that ice-cold water drinking was hazardous for the body organs such as the liver. Little information can be found regarding the effects of ice-cold fluid drinks on liver and its probable sequels on this vital organ. Accordingly, we investigated the effects of long-term ice-cold water drink on the rat liver function and histology. Eighteen male Wistar rats, weighing 180±20 g, were randomly divided into three groups of six as two months ice-cold water drink, CW2M; three months ice-cold water drink, CW3M; and three months room temperature water drink; control group. Upon completion of the care period, a blood sample has been taken for liver enzymes and lipid profile assessment. Liver tissue has also been used for histological studies of H&E staining and microscopic examination. Histological findings showed hepatocellular micro-vesicle formation, necrosis and derangement of the cellular cords and infiltration of Kupffer cells in ice-cold water taken animals. Serum TGs, VLDL-C and ALP significantly increased with sound decrease in FBS and LDL-C in ice-cold water taken animals. It seems that long-term ice-cold water has deleterious functional and structural effects on the liver.

Published: October 2020

Thisarticlewants to expose the thinking of a controversial Syrian thinker,Prof.Ir. Muhammad Syahrur about the correlation of usury, zakah and shodaqoh. The correlation between these three things to explain one of the forms of boundary theory he found. According to Syahrur usury and zakat contained in the theory of the sixth limit is "the maximum limit (positive) should not be passed and the lower limit (negative) may be passed". This restriction applies to the transition of wealth between people. These two limits consist of the maximum limit that should not be violated, namely usury and the minimum limit of zakat that can be exceeded. This form exceeds the minimum limit of a variety of alms. These two boundaries are in two regions: positive and negative regions, and midpoints in neutral positions denoted by zero. In practice, the positive maximum limit of usury, the neutral limit of interest-free loans and the minimum limit of negatives in the form of zakat and alms. According to Syahrur usury is divided into two forms that are related to borrowing and borrowing and borrowing. Syahrur argues that usury is the same as bank interest and he justifies bank interest as the modern banking mechanism that has been run for this.After describing Syahrur's thoughts, this paper provides some notes on the important points that need to be discussed further.
