Authors: Hoque Sayema
Published: December 2022

This study is conducted to examine the effects of market share on profitability. A panel data covering 8 full-fledged Islamic banks of Bangladesh and the period 2011-2020 is used for the analysis. Based on Hausman test, random effects model is chosen to estimate the effects of market share. Market share is represented in terms of asset as well as deposit. To measure profitability, return on equity is used. Investment is used as control variable. Time dummies are also used to account for time effects. Findings suggest that one percentage point increase in market share in terms of asset leads to 3.73 percentage points increase in ROE. Besides, if market share in terms of deposit increases by one percentage point, ROE increases by 3.14 percentage points. Based on these findings, Islamic banks of Bangladesh should consider increase in market share as one of the effective ways to enhance profitability.

Authors: MİKAİLSOY Fariz , ERDEL Erhan
Published: December 2022

Toprağın enzimatik aktivitesi, toprakların verimliliğinin, kalitesinin tanısal bir göstergesi olarak kullanılabilir. Enzimlerin bu özelliğinin anlamlandırılması için enzimlerin kinetiğinin incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Bilindiği gibi, kinetik araştırmalarda reaksiyon hızının pratik olarak tespit edilmesi, enzimatik reaksiyonun başlangıç hızının belirlenmesi temelinde gerçekleştirilir. Çalışmada, toprağın katalaz enziminin kinetik parametrelerini (Vmax, KM, Vmax/KM, KSEE, [S]opt ve υ0,max) hesaplamak için H2O2 substratının farklı konsantrasyonlarında (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30 %) analizler yapılmıştır. Bu parametrelerin hesaplanması için analiz sonuçları kullanılarak önce hız (υ) değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Sonra ürün – substrat: [P]=f([S]) bağıntısını ifade eden farklı modeller belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra model seçim kriterlerine (R2, R2adj, σ, A, D, UII, AIC) göre [P]=f([S]) bağıntısını yansıtan en uygun model belirlenmiştir. Belirlenen modele göre başlangıç hız: υ0=d([P])/dt│t=0 formulü ile hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmadaki tüm hesaplamalar STATISTICA-10 paket programı ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarında; substrat (H2O2) konsantrasyonu arttıkça, ürünün (O2’nin) azaldığı tespit edilmiş, substratın katalaz enzim reaksiyonunu engellediği (inhibe ettiği) gözlenmiştir. Başlangıç hızın belirlenmesi için, model seçim ölçütlerine göre en uygun modelin Binom-1 olduğu bulunmuştur. Substratın düşük ve yüksek konsantrasyon değerlerine karşılık gelen başlangıç hız değerleri kullanılarak kinetik parametreler hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca, substratın optimum değerinde (12.2957 %) en yüksek başlangıç hıza (υ0,max =5.3508 ml O2/1 dak 5g toprak) ulaşılmıştır.

This research paper raises the issue of green marketing in content that usually has a figurative meaning or is also called an oxymoron because a green product is a product that is not produced through a fabrication process. However, this research explores if the product is indeed a product that comes from nature. In addition, this paper examines further the relationship between content publishing for a pro-environmental company, namely PT, Intidaya Agrolestari (Inagro), on its Instagram account @inagro.id. This research examines the application of green concept content on the @inagro.id account and its suitability with data in the field. The method used in this research is a virtual observation of the @inagro.id Instagram account, field observations, interviews, and documentation. The results show that if there are differences with previous research regarding green marketing, the company only used advertising to label its products as green products. With the help of a case study from Inagro, publishing content on the @inagro.id Instagram account is limited to only informing the products and services offered, including various facilities, atmosphere, and also nature-based educational packages. The implementation of the green concept has not been seen explicitly, even though the content has met the green criteria. Nevertheless, Inagro as a nature-based tourist destination has at least highlighted a green atmosphere and is not a gimmick. The content of the Instagram channel has been examined to determine whether it offers additional information through the Inagro case study, where the product being offered is one manufactured from nature. Images used to conceal products don't always serve to mislead the production process; instead, they encourage further discussion that isn't just centered on information about product for labeling green but also information that raising visitor awareness of concern for the environment.

Diamonds are a unique commodity whose socially generated notions significantly influence perceived value. To study how a diamond's physical attributes might predict its price, a massive dataset of loose diamonds scraped from an online diamond store is subjected to data mining, which reveals that diamond weight, color, and clarity are the most influential determinants of diamond pricing. Therefore, submit a proposal for an Exploratory Data Analysis that includes a component that analyses various parts of news articles using LASSO Regression, ElasticNet Regression, and Random Forest Regression. This system is trained on past data to forecast diamond prices while retaining an easily interpretable trading approach concerning rule complexity. The suggested strategy beats cutting-edge methods for prediction accuracy and interpretability, such as extreme learning machines using deep learning. Our data indicate that the news impact factor is crucial for forecasting. Demonstrate that the suggested system outperforms the average yearly return while offering a set of language trading rules that are interpretable. This has substantial repercussions for investors. A significant degree of subjectivity in diamond pricing may result from diamond dealers' price concealment techniques.

Published: December 2022

The brain tumors, are the most common and aggressive disease, leading to a very short life expectancy in their highest grade. Thus, treatment planning is a key stage to improve the quality of life of patients. Generally, various image techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ultrasound image are used to evaluate the tumor in a brain, lung, liver, breast, prostate…etc. Especially, in this work MRI images are used to diagnose tumor in the brain. However the huge amount of data generated by MRI scan thwarts manual classification of tumor vs non-tumor in a particular time. But it having some limitation (i.e) accurate quantitative measurements is provided for limited number of images. Hence trusted and automatic classification scheme are essential to prevent the death rate of human. The automatic brain tumor classification is very challenging task in large spatial and structural variability of surrounding region of brain tumor. In this work, automatic brain tumor detection is proposed by using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) classification. If tumor is detected system classified the tumor and conveys patient the stage of tumor he is probably suffering.

The most powerful way to reduce global warming and the Green House Effect is to drive an electric vehicle. It is a viable alternative to traditional transportation. A charging unit is utilized in a Power Electronic Circuit Battery to give an excellent performance while consuming minimal power. A built-in resistance compensator (BRC) approach has been introduced to reduce the time it takes for a lithium-ion battery to charge, thanks to advancements in technology and li-on batteries. To achieve a transition from the constant-current (CC) to the constant-voltage (CV) stage is seamless, a smooth control circuit (SCC) is proposed. The charger circuit moves from the CC to the CV stage without fully charging the cell, due to the external parasitic resistance of the Li-ion battery-pack system.

The study targeted mainly the agricultural community. We studied the farmers various issues to look into the various aspects of pesticide, insecticides use in agriculture and its impact on the environment and human health. This paper describes the effective farming as well as a promising solution to the farmers by artificial intelligence technique. Intelligent farming is the practice of modern technologies such as sensors, robotics, and data analysis for shifting from tedious operations to continuously automated processes. Every year farmer experiences large losses due to pest infestation in crop & this in turn affect his lifestyle. These losses are basically due to, improper management of pesticides imbalanced pH of soil and discontinuous monitoring of farm. Uncontrolled spraying of pesticides, harmful insects and imbalanced pH of soil, reduces product of farmer both in quality and quantity. The A.I. and four-leg technology have the potential to solve these problems efficiently. This quad leg robot perform the functions like (a)Testing of soil pH by providing the proper solution depending upon the nature alkaline or acidic ,(b)Spraying of pesticides in proper proportion and (c)Targeting insecticide solution by PIR thermal sensing(if insects detect on crop ) .This quad leg robot perform these functions by following the line of crops. The robot actually walks on farm in such a manner by following the crop line and performing the functions walking over the crops. This A.I. robot gives the solution on improving the soil productivity and improves the proper growth of plant.

-This study is to investigate the development of yogurt enriched with freeze dried Tomato peel powder (TPP) is examined. Tomato peel is a rich source of lycopene which can be used as a natural antioxidant and colorant in food products and also it contains large amounts of Vitamin C. The antioxidant properties of this vitamin derive from the fact that it is a very good electron donor which also explains that it acts as a reducing agent that directly neutralizes or mitigates the damage caused by electronically imbalanced and unstable reactive species i.e., free radicals. Tomato peels were freeze dried, pulverized and sieved to prepare as fine powder. Yogurt is a fermented dairy product produced by Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. Freezedried Tomato Peel Powder were added to the yogurt at the ratios of 0.1% and 0.2%, after fermentation. Yogurt with addition of 0.1% (T1) incorporation of Tomato Peel Powder gained high scores for overall acceptability by sensory evaluation. The result obtained for Vitamin C as 0.425 and 0.851 g/100g in developed yogurt for T1 and T2. The protein content of T0, T1 and T2 was 3.11%, 5.25% and 7.23%. These results suggest the possibility of utilizing freeze dried tomato peel powder as a source of Vitamin C enriched ingredient in yogurt manufacture.

Alumni are college or university graduates. Every university desire to maintain contact with all of its graduates. During graduation, alumni typically give their contact information. Alumni typically relocate from their home to a location close to their place of employment after landing a job. Alumni typically don't update their contact information, including new phone numbers and addresses, for alumni. Alumni, however, typically continue to use their study-related social media account after graduating. In order to improve mentoring between alumni and students, this article suggests integrating specific data mining and social networking aspects into alumni systems. This research effort has two main contributions: a framework for smart alumni systems and implementation of this system. This framework broadens the definition of stakeholders to include current students, admin in addition to alumni. The framework encourages social networking-style interactions among different stakeholder groups for tasks including career development and mentorship. In the proposed framework, data mining's primary goal is to offer suggestions for creating connections amongst stakeholders, which will help existing students receive better mentorship; its secondary goal is to analyze the findings from university and departmental surveys. A web-based interface for the proposed smart alumni system has been developed. The prototype incorporates alumni, academic, and student stakeholder roles and enables messaging, groups, and friends social networking capabilities. This system was created using techniques such as MySQL, HTML, CSS, Java Script, jQuery, PHP, and AJAX to deliver a reliable portal system. The best result of the proposed system testing was the high overall satisfaction rate. Although the implementation's findings showed that the system requirements and the supplied data were largely compatible and suitable.

: Maintaining water supply is linked to our daily routine and is a vital issue for every individual in Somalia and around the world. Sustainable water supply systems should provide an adequate quantity and quality of water for a given demand without compromising future capacity to expand that volume and superiority. Water frameworks in the realm of sustainable progress must not include exploitation of water in the strict sense, but must include frameworks in which the use of water is generally required. Water is accordingly at the center of climate change adaptation as it is the central link between the climate system, mortal society and the environment. For Somalia, water is the mainstay of social, economic, and environmental growth and component. Nevertheless, the increasing pressure on water and the associated disaster is a growing problem. Somalia is a water scarce country with just 411 cum of renewable freshwater per capita (as of 2017 [01]) (World Bank, 2020). This is a glaring decline over time from 2,087 cum in 1962 [2] (ibid.) and far below the initial figure of 1,000 cum per capita per time advocated by UN. In the face of rapid population growth, the deteriorating superiority of groundwater resources due to overexploitation, overpopulation, and pollution poses an additional challenge. In addition, these threats are exacerbated by climate change, which has manifested itself in alternating waterfalls and water scarcity. As the mean periodic water decline is projected to increase by 1%, 3%, and 4% by 2030, 2050, and 2080, respectively [3] (using the 1981-2000 reference period) (FGS, 2015), and combined with increasing variability, more severe failures and cataracts are expected in the coming years. Climate change, environmental degradation, and the increasing struggle for scarce water, strained rangelands, and other natural reserves are the main causes of insubstantiality, degradation, risky poverty, and food insecurity.
Screening for Pancreatic Cancer: Current Status and Future Directions
Authors: Puri Akshjot , Chang John C. , Kundranda Madappa
Published: December 2022

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a lethal disease for a multitude of reasons, including difficulty of early detection, early metastatic spread, and absence of more effective therapies. Even with the advent of newer systemic therapies, the 1-year survival for metastatic disease ranges from 17–23% and 5-year survival is <5%. This necessitates an urgent need for the development of more effective modalities for early detection, particularly due to the long latent period between the genomic cellular changes and the development of metastatic disease. Currently available biochemical and molecular markers have significant potential; however, they require further clinical validation. Endoscopic ultrasound is one of the most sensitive modalities used to both screen and sample lesions, but is limited to use in high-risk patients due to its invasive nature and associated risks. Although clinically meaningful progress has been made in screening the high-risk cohorts in terms of detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, and mucinous cystic neoplasms, leading to early diagnosis and treatment, nonselective population-based screening is not yet available for widespread use. Currently there is no consensus on the most appropriate screening protocol for early pancreatic cancer detection. In this review, we focus on understanding the potential role of molecular and radiogenomic markers in the early detection of pancreatic cancer.
