Flooded by Success: On the Role of Electrode Wettability in CO2 Electrolyzers That Generate Liquid Products
Authors: Leonard McLain , Orella Michael , Aiello Nick , Forner-Cuenca Antoni , Román-Leshkov Yuriy , Brushett Fikile
Published: March 2020

The economic operation of carbon dioxide (CO2) electrolyzers generating liquid products will likely require high reactant conversions and high product concentrations, conditions anticipated to challenge existing gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs). Notably, electrode wettability will increase as lower surface tension products (e.g., formic acid, methanol, ethanol, and 1-propanol) are introduced into flowing electrolyte streams potentially leading to flooding. To better understand the hydraulically stable electrolyzer operating envelopes in mixed aqueous-organic liquid domains, we connect intrinsic porous electrode wettability descriptors to system operating parameters such as electrolyte flow rate and applied current. Specifically, we first measure contact angles of various water-organic dilutions on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and graphite surfaces as ex situ planar analogues for the major GDE components. We then use material balances around the reactive gas-liquid interface, to calculate product mass fractions as a function of liquid water sweep rate (water source and diluent) and the total current. Product composition maps enable visualization of the extent to which changes in cell performance can lead to changes in capillary pressure, a crucial determinant of GDE saturation. These analyses reveal that formic acid product mixtures pose little risk for GDE flooding across a wide range of flow rate and current combinations, but that effluents enriched with less than 30% alcohols content by mass may cause flooding. This study provides initial guidance into estimating flooding conditions for PTFE-based GDEs in contact with organic-enriched streams and indicates opportunities for oleophobic surface treatments that repel aqueous and organic liquids, expanding regions of stable operation
Focusing Project Financing for Growth and Realizing the Higher Objectives of Shar¯ı‘ah

Published: March 2020

Islamic system of finance has the capacity to serve the purpose of financial intermediation as a means to create sustainable value in the real economy at national and global levels. However, the most of Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions (IBFIs) are lacking in application of the Divine principles in letter and spirit. They have not learned the lesson of avoiding finance products that led to instability, injustice and crises in the global finance. They might be lagging behind the conventional institutions in adoption of value based finance that emerged in global finance in the wake of GFC, 2008 (World Bank and Islamic Development Bank Group, 2016; p. 6) to focus on Value Based Intermediation (VBI), Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects and the stakeholders approach. This article focuses on the area of project financing by the IBFIs for different sectors including communication means, energy, residential and commercial buildings, infrastructure and socio-economic projects, and the role that Islamic banks can play in financing the projects leading to development and shared prosperity. Its finding is that while the conventional institutions are turning to the ethics and values based financial intermediation and business, it’s more a duty of the IBFIs to move to VBI by focusing on project financing.

An empirical examination of the Tight Monetary Policy (TMP) effects on the financing decisions of banks is of significance for an in-depth understanding of the Credit Channel of Monetary Policy (CCMP). Therefore, this paper aimed at examining the relative role of Islamic and Conventional Banks (CBs) in transmitting the effects of monetary tightening in Pakistan. It also examines whether TMP influences banks’ credit expansion differently across bank size and liquidity position. The empirical analysis consists of 11 Islamic Banks (IBs) (5 full-fledged IBs and 6 Islamic branches of CBs) and seventeen CBs with an unbalanced annual bank-level panel dataset covering the period 2005-2016. The results reveal that both types of banks significantly cut their financing in periods of TMP, confirming the existence of the credit channel. The results also indicate that TMP affected IBs less than their conventional peers. The results also provide evidence that large-sized and more-liquid Islamic as well as CBs respond less to the TMP. The findings suggest that the MP authorities may take into consideration the type of banking, bank size, and liquidity position to effectively control credit amounts in the economy.

The legitimacy of Islamic banking refers to the compliance with the precepts of Shar¯ı‘ah (Islamic law) of the pronouncements and their implementation, requisites of various contracts, as well as, realization of the welfare objectives. Therefore, the Islamic banks are supposed to follow the Islamic values focused to bring benefit to the society alongside the commercial motive. These distinguishing features establish identity of the Islamic banks separate from their conventional counterparts and require pursuing normative values of Islamic injunctions. The primary focus of this research is two folds: firstly, considering the legitimacy of Islamic banking practices in holistic perspective including normative concerns directed by Shar¯ı‘ah, and secondly, to gauge the perception of the customers of Islamic and conventional banks about the aforementioned approach of Shar¯ı‘ah legitimacy. The research has been commissioned by developing the constructs of Shar¯ı‘ah legitimacy through extensive review of the relevant literature. At the same time, the empirical analysis based on the opinion of 836 customers of Islamic and conventional banks in all the four provinces and the capital city of Pakistan has produced important conclusions regarding their perception about legitimacy of the Islamic banking practices. The key finding in the theoretical perspective is that the value judgements have been grossly ignored by the Islamic banks. The empirical research indicated that about half of the customers perceived Islamic banking as Shar¯ı‘ah legitimate. On overall basis, the other half viewed contrary to this or preferred to remain indifferent. There is a dire need that Islamic banks should look into the desired goals of Shar¯ı‘ah legitimacy in both contexts; the value judgement and the perception of the customers.
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan’s regulations for Shar¯ı‘ah Screening of Stocks and Shares: Shar¯ı‘ah based Evaluation
Authors:   Advocate for Business Law LLM from Faculty of Shar¯ı‘ah and Law, International University, Islamabad, Pakistan Candidate for Ph.D Law IIUM, Malaysia, Tahir Anees
Published: March 2020

In 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) launched All Shares Islamic Index in collaboration with Pakistan Stock Exchange to measure the performance of Shar¯ı‘ah compliant companies. This index is made up of over 250 companies. The stocks and shares that meet the Shar¯ı‘ah Screening criteria are included in the All Shares Islamic Index. As part of the selection process, each company’s financial report is reviewed and their Shar¯ı‘ah compliance status checked against technical filters and Shar¯ı‘ah screening criteria prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission Pakistan. The criterion for All Shares Islamic Index is developed by SECP to examine whether a particular stock conforms with Shar¯ı‘ah or not. This article aims to analyze the screening criteria for companies developed by the SECP. According to All Shares Islamic Index, a company that borrows with interest up to 37% is considered as a Shar¯ı‘ah-compliant company. Similarly, a company that invests on interest up to 33% is also considerd as Shar¯ı‘ah compliant. The author argues that the criterion for lending and borrowing by the companies does not conform to Shar¯ı‘ah since Shar¯ı‘ah does not allow dealing in rib¯a, no matter the quantity of rib¯a is big or small. It has been observed that a comprehensive legal, regulatory, and operational framework does not exist for Shar¯ı‘ah-compliant dealing in shares/securities in the stock exchange. Although the SECP has attempted to provide a benchmark and a criterion for Shar¯ı‘ah-compliant trading, but that criterion itself suffers from flaws and involves Shar¯ı‘ah issues. In order to develop an Islamic capital market, it is imperative to amend the current legal and operational framework and the screening criterion needs to be revisited to make it a genuinely Shar¯ı‘ah-compliant screening criterion.

Shar¯ı‘ah objectives in relation to people are to secure interest of all and avert harm/hardship from them. These objectives have been taken care of in different Shar¯ı‘ah rulings. Regarding economics and finance, the principle of prevention of harm has been especially observed in the sphere of various Islamic contracts and business transactions. This study focuses on the use of maxims relating to d. ar¯urah (dire necessity) and h. ¯ajah (need), which redress the harm from people. Based on these maxims, Shar¯ı‘ah scholars/committees have often been issuing the license of legality to several Islamic banking and financial transactions and products. The objective of the paper is to explain whether h. ¯ajah and d. ar¯urah are amalgamated concepts, and to find out the extent to which the maxims of h. ¯ajah and d. ar¯urah are being exploited in Islamic banking transactions and products. In so doing, the paper, through a literature review, differentiates h. ¯ajah from d. ar¯urah. Analyzing the transactions and products as being used in Islamic Finance Industry (IFI), paper asserts that h. ¯ajah, rather than d. ar¯urah, is being entertained, and exploited to some extent. The paper also puts forward some suggestions for the stakeholders of Islamic banking and financial industry.

This paper investigates impact of two dimensions of brand equity i.e., brand image and brand awareness on the consumption patterns of h.al¯al/h. ar¯am products when the consumers are aware of the Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) of the entity or firm from which they are buying the product. The data were collected from 307 respondents through online surveys and self-administered questionnaires based on a five-point Likert scale. Correlation and regression analyses were carried out to examine the effect of the dimensions of brand equity on consumption patterns of consumers. The findings suggest that both dimensions of brand equity have a positive impact on consumption patterns of consumers as found by regression analysis. The moderating effect of IWE was tested by multiple regression for the two dimensions of brand equity and it was found that IWE of the branding entity increases the strength of the relationship between the dimensions of brand equity and the consumption of the consumers. There are implications for marketers and policy makers. They should keep in mind that Muslims prefer h. al¯al products and thus stress upon the importance of including h. al¯al branded products in their list of promoted brands. The main contribution of this paper is that it examines how the IWE of the chosen firm ultimately affect the consumption of h. al¯al/h. ar¯am products. The paper also provides managerial implications.

The primary objective of the study is to investigate the Muslim consumers’ style inventory. An allied objective of this study is to test the reliability and validity of Consumer Style Inventory (CSI) in an economically developing country like Pakistan. For this purpose, data was collected from university graduate and under-graduate students. Factor reduction technique was used in SPSS to examine Muslim consumers’ style inventory. Findings of the study indicate that Muslim consumers are partially different from their non-Muslims counterparts. The result of principal component analysis revealed that factors like “Impulsive” and “recreational” were not confirmed by the Muslim consumers. However, other factors like price conscious, quality conscious and ‘confused by over choice’ were confirmed. Thus, study suggests that formal consumers’ education system should be enhanced and all concerned bodies like Islamic scholars, Government agencies and universities should play their role in formulating shopping orientation of Muslim consumers. Furthermore, the future direction of study provides an avenue to coming scholars on the area.

This paper examines the controversy among modern Islamic jurists whether in case of any intangible damages (especially defamation), any monetary compensation (solatium) under Islamic law (Shar¯ı‘ah) can be extended or not. It also evaluates the method used for measurement of monetary compensation for intangible damage by Pakistani courts. Further, whether monetary compensation awarded for intangible damage is legal, just, fair and reasonable. It finds that majority of modern Islamic scholars consider the award and claim of the monetary compensation for intangible damage as legal. It also, in Pakistan’s perspective, finds that; (i) there is no yardstick or definite principle for measuring compensation, (ii) compensation awarded is valid, but generally not just, fair and reasonable, (iii) discretion used by the courts to award compensation seems subjective and, (iv) harmony lacks between the amount of compensation claimed by the victims, and that awarded by the courts. It concludes that courts should formulate viable principles in this regard.

Published: March 2020

This paper purpose is to investigate the benefits of Lean Six Sigma to the Malaysian automotive industry. Lean is an approach that seeks to improve flow in the value stream and eliminate waste. It’s about doing things quickly. Six Sigma uses a powerful framework (DMAIC) and statistical tools to uncover root causes to understand and reduce variation. It’s about doing things right (defect free). As global competition continues to grow, the pressure to improve becomes more andmore intense. Thus, a combination of both Lean and Six Sigma is born. This method provides an over-arching improvement philosophy that incorporates powerful data-driven tools to solve problems and create rapid transformational improvement at lower cost. Thus, this paper also tries to examine how the Lean Six Sigma can contribute and brings a positive impact to the automotive industry in Malaysia.
Application of data mining to grading indian industries on the basis of financial ratios
Authors: G MANIMANNAN , R LAKSHMI PRIYA , V ANISH PREETHI
Published: March 2020

An attempt is made to introduce a new method of rating the top ranking industriess on the basis of certain financial ratios. It is well known that the financial ratios are being used as a yardstick by researchers for many purposes. About 500 industries from public and private sectors were considered for each year from 2007 to 2012, which were ranked according to their net sales. Twenty financial ratios were carefully chosen out of numerous ratios that could give different notion of the objectives and have significant meaning in the literature. The unique feature of this study is the application of factor, k-mean clustering and discriminant analyses as data mining tools to exploit the hidden structure present in the data for each of the study periods. Initially, factor analysis is used to uncover the patterns underlying financial ratios. The scores from extracted factors were used to find initial groups by k-mean clustering algorithm. A few outlierindustries, which could not be classified to any of the larger groups, were discarded as some of the ratios possessed higher values. The clusters thus obtained formed the basis for the further analyses as they inherited the structural patterns found by the factor analysis. The cluster analysis was followed by iterative discriminant procedure with original ratios until cent percent classification was achieved. Finally, the groups were identified as industries belonging to Grade A, Grade B and Grade C in that order, which exhibit the behavior of High performance, Moderate performance and Low performance. From the present study it was observed that a little over 90% of the total variations of the data were explained by the first five factors for each year. These five factors revealed the underlying structural patterns among the twenty ratios that were initially considered in the analysis. Also only three clusters could be meaningfully formed for each of theperiods. It is also interesting to note that the clusters could be arranged by magnitude of their mean vectors on selected ratios, thus permitting the groups to be identified on the basis of their performance.

Authors: V SELVA KUMAR
Published: March 2020

India possesses a highly developed higher education system. Every student desires to learn and be successful in school. If they are not, we must strive to understand the nature of their learning problems. If students are demonstrating self-defeating behaviors, such as not bothering about anything, or quitting, or not trying, or upset in home as well as in college, we must recognize that these are ineffective coping strategies that often mask feelings of vulnerability, low self-esteem, and hopelessness. Self-esteem issues take on a particular significance for students with learning or attention problems because selfassessment of this concept requires the ability to evaluate and compare. These are two skills that are extraordinarily challenging for students with special needs.The main objective of this research is to analyze the important factors which are contributing the students self esteem in twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. A sample size of 242 students has been taken for the purpose of the study. The data has been analyzed using statistical techniques like descriptive statistics, χ2 test and factor analysis using the Statistical Software SPSS and Mini tab. The study reveals that there is some significant difference exists in gender wise self esteems. Another finding of the study revealed that the female students were better self confident than male students. Also the present study reveals that type of school, Parents education and Age of the respondent are associated with self esteem.

There are taxes at different rates and at multiple points.The GST is an indirect tax which means that the tax is passed on till the last stage wherein itis the customer of the goods and services who bears the tax. This is the case even today for allindirect taxes but the difference under the GST is that with streamlining of the multiple taxesthe final cost to the customer will come out to be lower on the elimination of double chargingin the system.
