With the eminence of the era of knowledge-based economies, the concept of intellectual capital (IC) is of vital importance for organisations to survive in these vigorous environments. As one of the knowledge intensive sectors, there is no exception to banking institutions in enhancing their intellectual capital efficiency to the forefront especially for Islamic banks (IBs) that have to compete with the firmly-established conventional banks. Accordingly, this study intends to measure the relationship between intellectual capital efficiency and banks’ performance. In total, 59 Islamic banks are selected and their audited annual reports are compiled from the banks’ websites respectively from year 2006-2017. Value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) are applied in measuring IC efficiency. The findings provide empirical evidences of positive relationship between IC efficiency and banks performance, nonetheless, when decomposes into human capital efficiency (HCE), structural capital efficiency (SCE) and capital employed efficiency (CEE), only human capital efficiency shows significant positive relationship with performance of the banks while the other two components show significant negative linkage with bank performance. Furthermore, due to criticisms towards VAIC method, this study using modified value-added intellectual capital coefficient (MVAIC) and found that MVAIC has significant positive relationship with bank performance while relational capital as additional variable in MVAIC regression model has no significant effect with bank performance. This study provides better insights on the importance of utilisation of IC by banking institutions particularly for Islamic banks.

Garut is not only well-known as the city of dodol, but also as the city of the barbers. Most barbermen in Indonesia come from Garut, precisely from a village named Kampung Parung, Banyuresmi Subdistrict. Usually, upon completion of high schools, they go to big cities to open barbershops instead of going to universities. This has been a well-established entrepreneurial culture in that village for decades. The purpose of this study is to identify how this long entrepreneurial culture is established. To this end, a survey was addressed to 120 barbermen. The results show that family plays an important role in establishment of entrepreneurial culture in the village in question. Education is not much of importance to them.

Off label prescription has been a major challenge for patients as most of time they are not aware of the indication they are prescribed for. For instance, the drug Methotrexate to treat cancer is being prescribed as off label to treat psoriasis. The adverse drug reactions incurring from a cancer drug can cause severe reactions, in which the burden being passed to a patient suffering from auto immune disease and skin disorder such as psoriasis. The legality aspects are certainly importance to enhance the role of the doctors which prescribing the off label prescription to the patients. The lack of awareness by the practitioners while practicing off label prescription for the sake of insufficient medication or lack of medication for certain diseases does not give a room to practice off label prescription. The purpose of this paper is to further define and discuss the status of off-label use of medications in children as the medication of children is lacking compared to adults. The legality of off label prescription has not been addressed and mainly left at the discretion of medical practitioners to apply off label prescription. The legality aspect of off label prescription can be addressed with improvise interpretations under Section 14(4) (d) of the Patents Act 1983.

Cost-effectiveness of Simple Insulin Infusion Devices Compared to Multiple Daily Injections in Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetics in the United States Based on a Simulation Model
Authors: Wahlqvist Peter , Warner Jay , Morlock Robert
Published: September 2019

Background: As type 2 diabetes (T2D) progresses, administering basal and bolus insulin through multiple daily injections (MDI) is often required to achieve target control, although many people fail to achieve target levels. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) treatment with traditional pumps has proven effective in this population, but use remains limited in T2D due to CSII cost and complexity. A new class of simple insulin infusion devices have been developed which are simpler to use and less expensive. This paper assesses at what price one such simple insulin infusion device, PAQ® (Cequr SA, Switzerland), may be cost-effective compared to MDI in people with T2D not in glycemic control in the United States.

Methods: Published equations were used in a simulation model to project long-term cost-effectiveness over 40 years, combined with data from the recent OpT2mise study, assuming similar efficacy of CSII and simple insulin infusion. Cost-effectiveness was pre-defined in relation to per capita gross domestic product (GDP), where incremental cost-effectiveness ratios below 1X the per capita GDP per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained were defined as “highly cost-effective” and below 3X GDP per capita as “cost-effective.”

Results: Simple insulin infusion resulted in 0.17 QALYs gained per patient compared to MDI, along with lifetime cost-savings of USD 66 883 per person due to reduced insulin use and less complications. Analyses on price sensitivity of simple insulin infusion indicated that a device such as the PAQ is cost-effective compared with MDI up to price points of around USD 17 per day.

Conclusions: For people with T2D not in glycemic control on MDI, simple insulin infusion devices such as PAQ have the potential to be highly cost-effective in the United States.

We present 16 new ultrabright H

AB
 ≲ 25 galaxy candidates at z ∼ 8 identified over the COSMOS/UltraVISTA field. The new search takes advantage of the deepest-available ground-based optical and near-infrared observations, including the DR3 release of UltraVISTA and full-depth Spitzer/IRAC observations from the SMUVS and SPLASH programs. Candidates are selected using Lyman-break color criteria, combined with strict optical non-detection and SED-fitting criteria, designed to minimize contamination by low-redshift galaxies and low-mass stars. HST/WFC3 coverage from the DASH program reveals that one source evident in our ground-based near-IR data has significant substructure and may actually correspond to 3 separate z ∼ 8 objects, resulting in a total sample of 18 galaxies, 10 of which seem to be fairly robust (with a >97% probability of being at z > 7). The UV-continuum slope β for the bright z ∼ 8 sample is β = −2.2 ± 0.6, bluer but still consistent with that of similarly bright galaxies at z ∼ 6 (β = −1.55 ± 0.17) and z ∼ 7 (β = −1.75 ± 0.18). Their typical stellar masses are

M
⊙, with the SFRs of

yr−1, specific SFR of

Gyr−1, stellar ages of

Myr, and low dust content

mag. Using this sample we constrain the bright end of the z ∼ 8 UV luminosity function. When combined with recent empty field luminosity function estimates at similar redshifts, the resulting z ∼ 8 luminosity function can be equally well represented by either a Schechter or a double-power-law form. Assuming a Schechter parameterization, the best-fit characteristic magnitude is

mag with a very steep faint-end slope

. These new candidates include some of the brightest objects found at these redshifts, 0.5–1.0 magnitude brighter than those found over CANDELS, and providing excellent targets for spectroscopic and longer-wavelength follow-up studies.

We present the B-fields mapped in IRDC G34.43+0.24 using 850 μm polarized dust emission observed with the POL-2 instrument at the James Clerk Maxwell telescope. We examine the magnetic field geometries and strengths in the northern, central, and southern regions of the filament. The overall field geometry is ordered and aligned closely perpendicular to the filament’s main axis, particularly in regions containing the central clumps MM1 and MM2, whereas MM3 in the north has field orientations aligned with its major axis. The overall field orientations are uniform at large (POL-2 at 14″ and SHARP at 10″) to small scales (TADPOL at 2.″5 and SMA at 1.″5) in the MM1 and MM2 regions. SHARP/CSO observations in MM3 at 350 μm from Tang et al. show a similar trend as seen in our POL-2 observations. TADPOL observations demonstrate a well-defined field geometry in MM1/MM2 consistent with MHD simulations of accreting filaments. We obtained a plane-of-sky magnetic field strength of 470 ± 190 μG, 100 ± 40 μG, and 60 ± 34 μG in the central, northern, and southern regions of G34, respectively, using the updated Davis–Chandrasekhar–Fermi relation. The estimated value of field strength, combined with column density and velocity dispersion values available in the literature, suggests G34 to be marginally critical with criticality parameter λ values 0.8 ± 0.4, 1.1 ± 0.8, and 0.9 ± 0.5 in the central, northern, and southern regions, respectively. The turbulent motions in G34 are sub-Alfvénic with Alfvénic Mach numbers of 0.34 ± 0.13, 0.53 ± 0.30, and 0.49 ± 0.26 in the three regions. The observed aligned B-fields in G34.43+0.24 are consistent with theoretical models suggesting that B-fields play an important role in guiding the contraction of the cloud driven by gravity.
Detecting Thin Stellar Streams in External Galaxies: Resolved Stars and Integrated Light

The morphology of thin stellar streams can be used to test the nature of dark matter. It is therefore crucial to extend searches for globular cluster (GC) streams to other galaxies than the Milky Way. In this paper, we investigate the current and future prospects of detecting GC streams in external galaxies in resolved stars (e.g., with Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST)) and using integrated light (e.g., with Hyper Suprime-cam (HSC), the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), and Euclid). In particular, we inject mock streams to data from the PAndAS M31 survey and produce simulated M31 backgrounds mimicking what WFIRST will observe in M31. Additionally, we estimate the distance limit to which GC streams will be observable. Our results demonstrate that for a 1 hr (1000 s) exposure, using conservative estimates, WFIRST should detect GC streams in resolved stars in galaxies out to distances of ∼3.5 Mpc (∼2 Mpc). This volume contains 199 (122) galaxies, of which >90% are dwarfs. With integrated light, thin streams can be resolved out to ∼100 Mpc with HSC and LSST and to ∼600 Mpc with WFIRST and Euclid. The low surface brightness of the streams (typically >30 mag arcsec−2), however, will make them difficult to detect, unless the streams originate from very young clusters. We emphasize that if the external galaxies do not host spiral arms or galactic bars, gaps in their stellar streams provide an ideal test case for evidence of interactions with dark matter subhalos. Furthermore, obtaining a large samples of thin stellar streams can help constrain the orbital structure and hence the potentials of external halos.

Introduction: While improvement of hand hygiene (HH) compliance is considered as the best approach to reduce healthcare-associated infections, the instructional interventions in HH among healthcare workers of intensive care unit (ICU) of our hospital was not successful enough. The following study was conducted to evaluate HH knowledge, perception, practice and effectiveness of the trainings among healthcare workers of ICU in our hospital.

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the ICU containing 8 medical and 16 surgical beds with 284 filled questionnaires about HH knowledge and 1187 observed opportunities for HH compliance.

Results: Overall observed HH compliance rate was 40.6%; lowest compliance was 21.7% for “before clean/aseptic procedure” indication and highest compliance was 68.6% for “after touching a patient” indication. Although > 90% healthcare workers correctly identified the World Health Organization’s five indications for HH, 82 – 85% failed to recognize non-indications, i.e. when it was not necessary to perform HH. Our study showed that 15.1% of healthcare workers neither received nor felt the need for HH training.

Conclusions: Despite regular HH trainings, healthcare workers could not differentiate when HH was not required which suggested failure to understand HH rationale. This may explain poor HH compliance rates. A systematic study is needed in order to find out the reasons behind of this noncompliance and improve HH training methods for educating healthcare workers.
