Discriminating between Islamic and Conventional banks in term of cost efficiency with combination of credit risk and interest rate margin in the GCC countries: Does Arab Spring revolution matter?
Authors: Gassouma Mohamed Sadok , Ghroubi Mohamed
Published: December 2021

This study aims to test the contagion effect of the Arab Spring revolution in the GCC countries on discrimination between Islamic and conventional banks in terms of cost efficiency, and to test how prudential factors can influence this comparison. We used the stochastic frontier of Battese and Coelli (1995) to measure the cost efficiency of both Islamic and conventional banks in the GCC countries during 2006_ 2015 (before the Arab revolution 2006-2010 and after the Arab revolution 2011-2015). Second, we used a logit model to discriminate between Islamic and conventional banks in terms of cost efficiency combined with credit risk, regulatory capital and interest margin. Third, we finally test the convergence and divergence between Islamic and Conventional banks by measuring the probability of having Islamic/conventional activities for both banks. We have shown that there is no absolute difference in terms of cost efficiency between Islamic and conventional banks. This difference can be observed through the credit risk taking but not through the interest rate margin. In addition, Islamic banks have taken advantage from the event of the Arab Spring revolution, compared to conventional ones, by being more efficient through risk mitigating due to their participatory financial product. Unlike previous research, we have used a cost efficiency measurement following Battese and Coelli’s (1995) model and we have incorporated it in a logit model, in the context of crisis. Cost efficiency is combined with a set of prudential factors to determine their effect on the convergence/divergence between Islamic and conventional bank.
Basel capital requirements, portfolio shift and bank lending in Africa
Authors: Oyetade Damilola , Obalade Adefemi A. , Muzindutsi Paul-Francois
Published: December 2021

Bank lending is a major source of income for a bank. Compliance with higher Basel capital requirements (CAR) portends serious implication for distribution of loan portfolio across different sectors. The objective of the study is to examine African banks’ responses to higher CAR in terms of portfolio shift. The study used descriptive statistics and ANOVA for panel data of African commercial banks that have implemented Basel II or III CAR for the period 2000 and 2018. Based on the results of our analysis, implementation of higher Basel CAR by African banks revealed four key findings. Firstly, our results suggest that higher Basel CAR particularly Basel III reduced total loans for South African banks. Secondly, African banks engage in portfolio shift with higher Basel levels. Thirdly, higher Basel capital increased banks' capital ratios in Africa, but some banks are still characterized by low equity. Fourthly, African banks reduce lending to high risk-weighted loans such as real estate and commercial loans except for South African banks which increased lending to commercial loans with higher Basel CAR. Lastly, this study proffers key insight into the lending behaviour of African banks with the implementation of higher Basel CAR.

PulseEdit: Editing Physiological Signal in Facial Videos for Privacy Protection
Authors: Chen Mingliang , Liao Xin , Wu Min
Published: December 2021

Recent studies have shown that physiological signals can be remotely captured from human faces using a portable color camera under ambient light. This technology, namely remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), can be used to collect users' physiological status who are sitting in front of a camera, which may raise physiological privacy issues. To avoid the privacy abuse of the rPPG technology, this paper develops PulseEdit, a novel and efficient algorithm that can edit the physiological signals in facial videos without affecting visual appearance to protect the user's physiological signal from disclosure. PulseEdit can either remove the trace of the physiological signal in a video or transform the video to contain a target physiological signal chosen by a user. Experimental results show that PulseEdit can effectively edit physiological signals in facial videos and prevent heart rate measurement based on rPPG. It is possible to utilize PulseEdit in adversarial scenarios against some rPPG-based visual security algorithms. We present analyses on the performance of PulseEdit against rPPG-based liveness detection and rPPG-based deepfake detection, and demonstrate its ability to circumvent these visual security algorithms.

Perspektive učenja i poučavanja na daljinu sa stajališta nastave tehničke kulture
Authors: Purković Damir , Lapov Padovan Zvonimir , Delač Dino
Published: December 2021

Udaljeno učenje i poučavanje može imati značajnu ulogu u nastavnom procesu i ostvarivanju ishoda učenja, osobito u kontekstu izvanrednih okolnosti uzrokovanih COVID-19 krizom. Ipak, posebnosti tehničkog odgoja i obrazovanja zahtijevaju ostvarivanje ishoda praktične prirode, koje nije jednostavno ostvariti ovakvim pristupom. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja ustanoviti koliko je i na koji način udaljeno učenje i poučavanje primjenjivo u nastavi tehničke kulture, pri čemu su sumirana iskustva učitelja tijekom COVID-19 pandemije. Istraživanje je provedeno kao polustrukturirani intervju tijekom kojeg su učitelji iznijeli vlastita iskustva i stavove o utjecaju ovakve nastave na učenike. Iz rezultata istraživanja se može zaključiti kako se ovakva nastava može koristiti i u „normalnim“ okolnostima za razvoj digitalnih kompetencija učenika, za razvoj pismenosti i komunikacijskih vještina u IKT okruženju, za poticanje introvertiranih učenika, za razvoj samostalnosti učenika te kao kvalitativna (sadržajna) nadopuna izravnoj nastavi. Unatoč tome udaljeno učenje i poučavanje ne može biti „ravnopravna alternativa” izravnoj nastavi i to zbog nemogućnosti sustavnog razvoja tehničkih kompetencija i vještina, izostanka socijalne interakcije (verbalne, fizičke, emocionalne), zbog „kritičnih” skupina učenika te zbog složenog tijeka razvoja učenika. Iako je potrebno dodatno istražiti učinak ovakve nastave na postignuća učenika i posljedice na njihov razvoj, razvidno je kako u ovoj razvojnoj dobi udaljeno učenje i poučavanje ne može polučiti ciljane kompetencije učenika.
Analiza modela sustava za automatsko statističko strojno prevođenje
Authors: Dunđer Ivan
Published: December 2021

Automatsko strojno prevođenje sve je popularnija istraživačka tema u znanosti i raznim znanstvenim disciplinama, kao što su informacijske i komunikacijske znanosti, računarstvo, računalna lingvistika i sl. Razlog tome je prvenstveno to što danas omogućuje nezaobilaznu komunikaciju i brz prijenos informacija između različitih prirodnih jezika. To je posebno bitno za manje govorene jezike poput hrvatskoga, za koji još uvijek ne postoji dovoljan broj softverskih alata i digitalnih resursa potrebnih za razvoj specijaliziranih i kvalitetnih sustava za strojno prevođenje koji bi bili optimizirani za upotrebu u jednom specifičnom području. Sve brži rast količine podataka i sve veća potreba raznih dionika u sektorima industrije, gospodarstvu, znanosti, ali i u svakodnevnom životu ljudi impliciraju motivaciju za sistematiziranim i organiziranim razvojem te naknadnom prilagodbom sustava za automatsko strojno prevođenje za različite jezične parove. Budući da strojni prijevodi nisu savršeni, važno je primijeniti metode za računalno generiranje prijevoda prihvatljive razine kvalitete koja ovisi o samom zadatku i području primjene sustava za strojno provođenje. U ovom radu analiziran je model sustava za automatsko statističko strojno prevođenje, njegove komponente te uloga i značaj pojedinih elemenata unutar modela.

Authors: Yashkina Viktoriia
Published: December 2021

The article aims to determine the "portfolio" of financing ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change based on the analysis of traditional market instruments used to preserve, maintain and restore ecosystem services and biodiversity. The definition of ecosystem-based adaptation, its qualification criteria and elements of their application in contrast to traditional economic measures for biodiversity and nature conservation are revealed. The relevance of using ecosystem and nature-based approaches to adapt to climate change and reduce the risk of natural disasters given the increasing frequency of extreme weather events associated with climate change – severe droughts, floods, heatwaves, storms and other hazards are explored. Accordingly, the urgency of adaptation to climate-related risks and hazards in different economic sectors, e.g. agriculture, land use, fisheries, and natural components with a focus on the climate impacts prognosis for the European region, using effective and affordable measures with additional long term social and environmental benefits are explained. Trends and specific gaps in the international experience in financing climate adaptation measures are considered. The most common instruments for financing nature-based solutions and ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change, which are already used in world practice or have the potential of their practical implementation in various sectors, including environmental and carbon taxes, subsidies, tradable environmental permits, risk insurance, obligations, debt and equity instruments, as well as innovative forms of green loans, green bonds, and climate-related insurance types are systematized and represented. The specifics of financing such measures through international funds, development banks and European Union funds are considered. Possibilities of integrating financing of ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change to the current processes of climate change adaptation policy development of Ukraine, particularly in the context of performance of obligations under the Paris climate agreement, are considered.
ORGANIZATION OF METHODS FOR ASSESSING THE STATE OF ECOSYSTEM ASSETS OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES RELATED TO WATER
Authors: Kolmakova Valentyna
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to substantiate scientific approaches to streamlining methods for assessing the state of ecosystem assets of territorial communities related to water, from the standpoint of sustainable nature management on an ecosystem basis. The modern scientific developments on estimation of cost of ecosystem services connected with water, are resulted in the leading international documents are investigated. The peculiarities of application of the methodological approach of ZEC (general economic value) are revealed, which provides taking into account both the real characteristics of the actual use of ecosystem services related to water and the potential (hidden) characteristics of their non-use. It is determined that the most promising in the process of assessing ecosystem services related to water may be the use of methods such as: "market" prices; normative; cost transfer; benefit transfer, scenario development method, subjective assessments. It is emphasized that these methods can be applied both separately and in certain combinations (combinatorics), due to the need to take into account the specifics of ecosystem services produced by ecosystem assets and the impact of integration processes within the ecosystem interaction of territorial spatial formations. In this context, the possibility of applying the concept of ZEC to assess ecosystem services related to water, on the example of the village of Semenivka Blagodatnensky united territorial community of Pervomaisky district of Mykolayiv region according to the author's methodology and formalized them using several methods.
Further research has prospects in the following areas: formation of a comprehensive system approach to streamlining the methods of cost measurement of water-related ecosystem assets; development and introduction of effective methodological approaches to the assessment of ecosystem assets, which are based on the use of combinatorics of possible assessment methods, which are selected in accordance with the characteristics of the local territorial water resource potential.
ECOSYSTEM ASSETS OF THE COMMUNITIES NATURE PROTECTED TERRITORIES: APPROACHES TO THE ASSESSMENT
Authors: Patoka Iryna
Published: December 2021

The paper proves the need to reform the system of ecological management of protected areas of communities on an ecosystem basis, taking into account the general processes of decentralization and European integration. It is noted that the main problems of adequate assessment of local natural resource potential of communities, in particular the assessment of ecosystem assets of their protected areas, are related to the imperfection of the general methodology of its implementation and the relevant regulatory framework.
It is emphasized that the achievement of the goals of sustainable spatial development at the local level is ensured via full mobilization of all types of local resources, e.g. in protected areas, in particular by taking into account the value of ecosystem assets and ecosystem services produced by them in the interests of local communities.
It is shown that economic assessments allow to substantiate the economic efficiency of investments in the environmental complex in order to preserve biodiversity, compare the costs and benefits of ecosystem services, as well as calculate the amount of compensation payments.
It is determined that the process of assessment of ecosystem assets of territories is a measurement of the total monetary value of ecosystem-related goods and services in the region, i.e. the assessment of ecosystem assets is primarily to assess the ecosystem services produced by these assets.
As a result of the study, successive stages of developing an algorithm for assessing ecosystem assets of protected areas of communities with the definition of the main structural components of assessment: valuation of ecosystem services produced by assets of protected areas, using a combination of relevant assessment methods and valuation component of the total local ecosystem asset of a particular territorial community.
The calculation of the total value of ecosystem assets of protected areas of communities on the example of Blagodatnenskaya OTG of the Pervomaisky district of the Nikolaev area is executed. Proposals for optimizing the use of ecosystem assets of protected areas of communities have been developed.

Published: December 2021

The present case study aims to investigate the effects and implications of a semi-structured, small group advising scheme led by a peer advisor (PA) who graduated from a previously offered scheme. The scheme involves a seven-unit Personalized Learning Module (PLM) that simultaneously combines four key points: (1) reflecting, (2) mindset training, (3) personal motivation and success, and (4) teaching students how to limit overwhelming sources of information as part of creating an actionable, personalized learning plan. Each unit of the PLM consists of an integrated, scaffolded set of original advising tools. Four learners were trained in a group by a PA. Data were collected through PA open-ended feedback forms at the end of each unit, metaphor drawings and the advisee feedback form containing the learners’ reflections on the efficiency of the module. Additionally, the PA’s feedback form containing the PA’s observations and reflections were used for data collection and data were analyzed through content analysis. The outcome of the study reveals promising results for future PA programs.

Authors: Šálek Petr , Dvořáková Jana , Hladysh Sviatoslav , Oleshchuk Diana , Pavlova Ewa , Kučka Jan , Proks Vladimír
Published: December 2021

A new type of hydrophilic, biocompatible, and biodegradable polypeptide nanogel depots loaded with natural serine protease inhibitor α1-antitrypsin (AAT) was applied for inhibition of inflammatory mediator trypsin. Further, poly[N5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-glutamine-ran-N5-propargyl-L-glutamine-ran-N5-(6-aminohexyl)-L-glutamine]-ran-N5-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl)-L-glutamine] (PHEG-Tyr) and Nα-L-Lysine-grafted α,β-poly[(2-propyne)-D,L-aspartamide-ran-(2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide-ran-(2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl)-DL-aspartamide] (Nα-Lys-NG) nanogels were prepared by HRP/H2O2-mediated crosslinking in inverse miniemulsions with pH and temperature-stimuli responsive behavior confirmed by dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements. The loading capacity of PHEG-Tyr and Nα-Lys-NG nanogels and their release profiles were firstly optimized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and then used for loading and release of AAT. PHEG-Tyr and Nα-Lys-NG nanogels showed different loading capacities for AAT with the maximum (20 %) achieved with Nα-Lys-NG nanogel. In both cases, the nanogels depots demonstrated a burst release of AAT during 6 h, which could be favorable for quick inhibition of trypsin. A consequent pilot in vitro inhibition study revealed that both PHEG-Tyr and Nα-Lys-NG nanogels loaded with AAT successfully inhibited the enzymatic activity of trypsin. Furthermore, the inhibitory efficiency of the AAT-loaded nanogels was higher than that of AAT itself, indicating that the negatively charged polypeptide nanogels enhance the inhibitory function of AAT loaded in the nanogel depots.

TRAUMA OF WAR IN REBECCA WEST’S THE RETURN OF THE SOLDIER
Authors: OKUROĞLU ÖZÜN Şule
Published: December 2021

This paper aims particularly at discussing how the trauma of twentieth-century warfare challenge the metanarratives that construct and instruct the idea of nation, and how trauma connects individuals with this ideology in Rebecca West’s The Return of the Soldier (1918). The novel successfully portrays different levels of disturbances caused by the trauma of war one of which is Chris’ rejection of recalling his wife to find a kind of internal unity in an unsafe world. In the novel, shell-shocked Chris’ trauma strikingly leads to the narrative exploration of female subjectivity in states of psychological crisis. The story suggests many similarities between surviving at the battlefront and homefront while exploring the effects of war on men as well as women. In the novel, Chris’s war trauma makes other major characters of the novel question their social and gender roles framed by the Edwardian society compelling them to re-evaluate the nature of institutional systems in relation to gender conflict; thus, The Return of the Soldier successfully places men’s and women’s traumas in conjunction with one another in a more puzzling connection.
SÂMİHA AYVERDİ’NİN “GÜLLÜ” ADLI HİKÂYESİNDE YÜCELTİLMİŞ ERKEKLİK, KADINLIĞIN FARKLI GÖRÜNÜMLERİ VE CİNSİYETLENDİRİLMİŞ AŞK TARZLARI

Güllü, Sâmiha Ayverdi’nin tek hikâye kitabı olan Mâbed’de Bir Gece’de yer alan hikâyelerinden biridir. Metin, Aslan Bey’e âşık olan iki kadının aşk tecrübesini ele almaktadır. Bu kadınlardan biri, Aslan Bey’in eşi Safiye; diğeri ise sevdiği kadın olan Güllü’dür. Hikâye, bu iki kadın arasındaki diyaloğu patriarkal kodlar ekseninde kurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, feminist edebiyat eleştirisi aracılığıyla metindeki kadın-erkek ilişkilerini Sylvia Walby’nin patriarka kuramı, John Alan Lee’nin aşkın renkleri kuramı ve Carol Gilligan’ın ihtimam etiği gibi toplumsal cinsiyet temelli yaklaşımlara dayalı olarak incelemektedir. Yapılan çözümlemelerde, anlatıda toplumsal cinsiyete ilişkin üç ana tema ve on bir alt kategorinin ortaya çıktığı görülmüştür. Bu temalardan ilki Aslan Bey’in soyu, bireysel özellikleri, romantik ilişkilerdeki yaklaşımı ve sınıfsal konumu çerçevesinde ele alınan yüceltilmiş erkeklik olgusudur. İkincisi Safiye ve Güllü’nün medeni hâli, bedeni, sınıfı, toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı ev içi iş bölümü ve ihtimam etiği üzerinden ele alınan kadınlık görünümleridir. Üçüncüsü ise Safiye ve Güllü’nün sahiplenici ve özgecil aşk tarzı bağlamında gelişen aşka ilişkin tutumlarıdır. Elde edilen bulgular kadınların aşk tecrübelerinin patriarkal sistemin ürettiği romantik ideolojiler ekseninde deneyimlendiğini göstermektedir.

En la estructura de los sistemas de producción de café, las variedades cultivadas son su columna vertebral, y aunque por sí mismas ellas no están en capacidad de garantizar una productividad exitosa, son la primera y más importante decisión que debe tomar el caficultor. A pesar de que genéticamente es posible obtener incrementos en la productividad mediante el mejoramiento de variedades con mayor carga, la expresión de este potencial en un lote determinado no depende únicamente de la selección correcta por su estado fitosanitario, sino que se necesita brindarles una condición adecuada desde el establecimiento del lote y en las prácticas de manejo posteriores, es decir, desde la fase de crecimiento hasta llegar a la etapa productiva. Por estas razones, las prácticas de manejo o agronómicas, en conjunto, pueden llegar a tener un peso mayor en la productividad que únicamente la variedad cultivada. De igual manera, la calidad en taza no depende exclusivamente de la variedad, sino que resulta de la sumatoria de múltiples factores, incluyendo el clima, el manejo del cultivo, la cosecha selectiva y las buenas prácticas de beneficio del café, que finalmente se traducirá en ingresos significativos al caficultor si se acompaña de buenas productividades.

Revised Stellar Parameters for V471 Tau, A Post-common Envelope Binary in the Hyades

Published: December 2021

V471 Tau is a post-common-envelope binary consisting of an eclipsing DA white dwarf and a K-type main-sequence star in the Hyades star cluster. We analyzed publicly available photometry and spectroscopy of V471 Tau to revise the stellar and orbital parameters of the system. We used archival K2 photometry, archival Hubble Space Telescope spectroscopy, and published radial-velocity measurements of the K-type star. Employing Gaussian processes to fit for rotational modulation of the system flux by the main-sequence star, we recovered the transits of the white dwarf in front of the main-sequence star for the first time. The transits are shallower than would be expected from purely geometric occultations owing to gravitational microlensing during transit, which places an additional constraint on the white-dwarf mass. Our revised mass and radius for the main-sequence star is consistent with single-star evolutionary models given the age and metallicity of the Hyades. However, as noted previously in the literature, the white dwarf is too massive and too hot to be the result of single-star evolution given the age of the Hyades, and may be the product of a merger scenario. We independently estimate the conditions of the system at the time of common envelope that would result in the measured orbital parameters today.
Physics of Thermonuclear Explosions: Magnetic Field Effects on Deflagration Fronts and Observable Consequences

Published: December 2021

We present a study of the influence of magnetic field strength and morphology in Type Ia supernovae and their late-time light curves and spectra. In order to both capture self-consistent magnetic field topologies and evolve our models to late times, a two-stage approach is taken. We study the early deflagration phase (∼1 s) using a variety of magnetic field strengths and find that the topology of the field is set by the burning, independent of the initial strength. We study late-time (∼1000 days) light curves and spectra with a variety of magnetic field topologies and infer magnetic field strengths from observed supernovae. Lower limits are found to be 106 G. This is determined by the escape, or lack thereof, of positrons that are tied to the magnetic field. The first stage employs 3D MHD and a local burning approximation and uses the code Enzo. The second stage employs a hybrid approach, with 3D radiation and positron transport and spherical hydrodynamics. The second stage uses the code HYDRA. In our models, magnetic field amplification remains small during the early deflagration phase. Late-time spectra bear the imprint of both magnetic field strength and morphology. Implications for alternative explosion scenarios are discussed.

We present ALMA observations on and around the radio-quiet quasar UM 287 at z = 2.28. Together with a companion quasar, UM 287 is believed to play a major role in powering the surrounding enormous Lyα nebula (ELAN), dubbed the Slug ELAN, that has an end-to-end size of 450 physical kpc. In addition to the quasars, we detect a new dusty star-forming galaxy (DSFG), dubbed the Slug-DSFG, in 2 mm continuum with a single emission line consistent with CO(4−3). The Slug-DSFG sits at a projected distance of 100 kpc southeast from UM 287, with a systemic velocity difference of −360 ± 30 km s−1 with respect to UM 287, suggesting it is a possible contributor to the powering of the Slug ELAN. With careful modeling of the SED and dynamical analyses, it is found that the Slug-DSFG and UM 287 appear low in both gas fraction and gas-to-dust ratio, suggesting environmental effects due to the host’s massive halo. In addition, our Keck long-slit spectra reveal significant Lyα emissions from the Slug-DSFG, as well as a Lyα tail that starts at the location and velocity of the Slug-DSFG and extends toward the south, with a projected length of about 100 kpc. Supported by various analytical estimates we propose that the Lyα tail is a result of the Slug-DSFG experiencing ram pressure stripping. The gas mass stripped is estimated to be about 109
M
⊙, contributing to the dense warm/cool gas reservoir that is believed to help power the exceptional Lyα luminosity.
Low-frequency Flux Density Measurements and Pulsars with GHz-peaked Spectra

Published: December 2021

We have estimated flux densities of several pulsars from radio interferometric observations mainly at 325 MHz using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. The new observations allowed us to update the spectral nature of the observed pulsars, and in six sources we identified relatively high frequency turnovers, which can be classified as new GHz-peaked spectrum (GPS) pulsars. For such objects the turnover in the spectrum is most likely caused by absorption in the immediate vicinity of the pulsar (or in the interstellar medium). We modeled the turnover spectra using the thermal free–free absorption model and the physical parameters obtained from the fits enabled us to identify the environments that could potentially be responsible for the observed absorption, such as pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnant nebulae or H ii regions. The discovery of 6 new GPS pulsars brings the total number of such objects to 33 and we discuss the properties of the entire sample.
