Authors: Goud B K Manjunatha , Begum Saidunnisa , Asif Nailah , Ivanthima Nishani , Mahmoud Mohamed , Khan Shahul Hamid
Published: July 2022

Globally breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in females and is a major health problem. Breast self-examination (BSE) is an important tool for the prevention and maintenance of health. Fostering education and skill training to the women to perform BSE correctly will improve the prognosis and reduce mortality. This study was designed with the objective to evaluate the impact of BSE on school teachers.

The study was conducted at RAK Medical and Health Sciences University, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. Pretest and post-test research design with convenience sampling technique was used in the present study. The subjects enrolled were 145 school teachers of the age group from 21 to 55 who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Data was collected using a prevalidated structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24. Pre-and post-intervention results were calculated using paired t-test.

There was a significant increase in the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP)scores after post-test (17.2) when compared to the pre-test (12.5). The p-value for the pre-test and post-test scores of KAP regarding breast self-examination was <0.0001.

The present study concludes the structured educational program positively influenced school teachers on breast self- examination.
Optimization of traditional puffing of a nutritious local grain (Amaranthus spp.) and development of a scalable business model supporting community health
Authors: Chhabra Iksha , Kaur Avneet
Published: July 2022

Promoting and encouraging use of diverse nutritious grains is not only healthy but can also, provide livelihood opportunities to rural groups.

The study attempted a farm to table approach by standardizing traditional puffing of amaranth grains and training women for a batch scale process to develop a scalable business model.

Manual puffing process for amaranth grains was developed and standardized. Puffed samples were compared with market samples for sensory parameters, expansion ratio, nutritive composition and sodium content using SPSS and MS-excel statistical analysis.

It was observed that direct heat puffing of cleaned and sieved grains on inclined karahis, provided good puffing efficiency (approximate 94%). Manually puffed grains had similar nutritional values and were crunchier than the market samples. Though, the machine puffed samples had better expansion ratio but, a higher sodium content of 1349.01 ± 0.073 and 1346.15 ± 0.014 mg/100g was reported when compared with manually puffed grains having only 135.3 ±0.037mg/100g of sodium. Individual capacities of women were observed for six months to develop a learning curve to understand production efficiencies. The production capacity of women ranged from 2250 kg to 3250 kg per month. A traceable model was developed, by procuring grains from small and marginal farmers, and processing undertaken by trained women groups.

A production of 34, 936 kg of puffed grain in the FY 2020-21 indicated a potential for a sustainable business supporting livelihoods and health.
Socio-linguistic appraisal of language of reprimand between lower and higher classes of the society
Authors: Okafor Henrietta , Muonagor Adaobi Constance
Published: July 2022

Language is a system of communication; it is a medium through which information is passed from one person or group to the other. Language is very crucial to the entire existence of man. This work mirrors the usage of language in the society, specifically it explores the language use in reprimanding /correction of some misdeeds by children/young adults in the society,using the insights from Dell Hymes Ethnography of communication as the theory. Works in this regards has been done using socio-linguistic analysis but the existing literature is not holistic and this necessitated the new drift to be explored. This therefore necessitated a new drift in socio-linguistic studies. The societal strata which comprise of the mainstream and non - mainstream of the society have different ways of using language in different ideal situations. The work discovered that language used is pari passu with class in the society and this affects and re-model the psyche of the individuals involved. The language of reprimand used was both loud and soft and was gathered through oral interviews and observation from the two classes. The language of reprimand for the upper class is discovered to be soft and mild while that of the lower class is loud and harsh.

Authors: Fazullin D.D. , Mavrin G.V.
Published: July 2022

A method for obtaining a composite membrane with a surface layer for water treatment processes is proposed. Nylon-AC composite membranes were obtained by immersion of a polymer substrate made of nylon-66 in a solution of cellulose acetate (AC) in acetone. The properties of membranes have been studied, the parameters of nanofiltration of composite membranes have been established. The content of heavy metal ions in underground water has been studied. The specific performance of membranes for distilled and underground water is determined depending on the number of applied layers of AC. The selectivity of the composite membrane with respect to metal ions was established, the retention capacity for which averaged 86 % with a specific productivity of 137 dm3/(m2·h), which exceeds the performance of a commercial nanofiltration membrane.

Published: July 2022

А multi-vortex separator developed to increase the efficiency of air purification from aerosol particles in the paint shops of industrial enterprises. The results of numerical studies to determine the efficiency of separation of gas coming out of each hole located in the separator lid are presented. The influence of the height of the slots, the velocity of the gas flow and the size of the dispersed particles on the separation efficiency and hydraulic resistance of the device is considered. The dependence of the hydraulic resistance on the height of the slots and the average discharge velocity of the gas at the inlet to the separation element is obtained. Holes are installed in the separator, through which a larger number of elusive particles pass, which are recommended to be used for fixing the upper removable cover.

Authors: Evstigneeva I.K. , Tankovskaya I.N.
Published: July 2022

The results of studying the production potential of phytocenoses of fouling of coastal hydraulic structures (groins) and solid substrates of the adjacent water area in the southwest (Lyubimovka and Foros villages), south (Cape Martyan) and southeast (eastern embankment of the city of Alushta) of Crime are reflected. Analysis of the periphyton and benthic communities showed the production superiority of Rhodophyta in periphyton and Ochrophyta in benthos. Dominants and codominants with high absolute phytomass belong to the genera Ericaria Stackhouse and Gongolaria Boehmer. The absolute phytomass of the cenosis, the relative phytomass Ochrophyta, and the Shannon index vary without exceeding the norm established for biological objects. The absolute and relative phytomass of Chlorophyta is characterized by increased variability.
Gynecologic Cancers Estimates in the I.R. Iran, 2012- 2040
Authors: Rostami Sahar , Nahvijou Azin
Published: July 2022

Background: Gynecologic cancers (GCs) are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in females worldwide. Estimating the cancer burden is invaluable to set up priorities for research funding allocations, cancer control policies, and prevention strategies. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has recently released the latest estimates on the prevalence, incidence, and mortality for 36 types of cancer and all cancer sites combined in 185 countries in 2020. We aimed to report GCs estimates in the I.R. Iran from 2012 to 2040 based on the GLOBOCAN 2020.
Methods: We obtained data on the incidence, mortality, and prevalence of GCs in the Iranian female population from the GLOBOCAN 2020 database presented by the IARC, compared the burden with the previous reports presented in 2012 and 2018, and provided the estimates for 2040. In addition, we compared the burden to that of the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO) and the world.
Results: The top 3 incident GCs were ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancer, respectively. In 2020, approximately 2,000 new cases of ovarian cancer (ASR: 4.4), 1,535 new patients with uterine cancer (ASR: 3.5), and 1,056 incident cervical cancer cases (ASR: 2.3) were diagnosed in the I.R. Iran. With 1,269 cancer deaths and an age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of 3.0, ovarian cancer is considered to be the leading cause of death from GCs, followed by cervical cancer (644 deaths; ASMR: 1.5) and uterine cancer (537 deaths; ASMR: 1.3). Among 157,930 prevalent female cases reported in the GLOBOCAN 2020 database, 13,663 cases were categorized as GC. With a 5-year prevalence of 5,539, ovarian cancer was the most prevalent type, while uterine cancer (with 4,904 prevalent cases) and cervical cancer (with 2,948 prevalent cases) were less prevalent types.
Conclusion: There has been a slight increase in the incidence of GCs in recent years after stable rates for a couple of decades. Therefore, primary and secondary prevention measures such as lifestyle modifications and screening programs must be prioritized.

Background and Aims: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a global problem and the most common cause of jaundice in neonates. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in Jiroft city in southern Kerman.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from 2016 to 2019. Blood samples were taken from all patients referred to Imam Hospital in Jiroft city in southern Iran. The G6PD enzyme activity was evaluated by a fluorescent spot test.
Results and Conclusions: In the present study, a total of 7791 newborns were included. Abnormal activity of G6PD was seen in 779 (10%) subjects. Out of 779 patients, 728 (9.4%) were found to be G6PD deficient, and 49 (0.6%) exhibited partial deficiency. A relatively high percentage of G6PD deficiency was seen in newborns of Jirof city. We strongly recommend screening for G6PD enzyme activity in all newborns in this city.
A Brief Review of the Association between Genetic Polymorphisms of the Paraoxonase Family and Atherosclerosis
Authors: Mousavi Saber Seyed Jalal , Beyranvand Hossein , Adibhesami Glavigh , Nouryazdan Negar
Published: July 2022

Atherosclerosis is known as an inflammatory disease that can affect any vessel in the body. The occurrence of atherosclerosis in heart vessels is called coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is one of the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Different genetic and environmental factors can cause cardiovascular diseases, such as age, weight, sex, and low high-density lipoproteins (HDL) levels.
Antioxidant and anti-atherogenic effects of HDL are related to proteins attached, such as Paraoxonase (PON). The Paraoxonase gene family has three members, PON-I, PON-II, and PON-III, located next to each other, on the long arm of chromosome 7, in humans. It seems polymorphisms and genetic variation resulting in several different phenotypes can affect the PON function. Due to its role in the human antioxidant system, changes in paraoxonase activity can increase or even reduce the risk of CAD. In this investigation, we reviewed different studies that showed, in some populations, specific polymorphisms with an effect on enzymatic activity ultimately increase or decrease the risk of disease in individuals. In contrast, no association has been found between disease and polymorphism in some populations. Therefore, further studies and meta-analyses in this field seem to be useful.

Authors: Fondoh Victor
Published: July 2022

Background and Aims: Improving the Quality Management System (QMS) of clinical laboratories and achieving accreditation are important in health care delivery. It can be achieved by implementing the World Health Organizaton Stepwise Laboratory Improvement Process Towards Accreditation (SLIPTA). The SLIPTA program was introduced to the Bamenda Regional Hospital (BRHL) in 2010. Our objectives were to identify improvements and evaluate the QMS at the BRHL. Training, mentorship, and improvement of laboratory infrastructure were considered for the program to succeed.
Materials and Methods: Secondary data from the WHO SLIPTA assessment reports of the BRHL between November 2009 and March 2018 were extracted. The assessments were conducted by the WHO African Society for Laboratory Medicine (ASLM) SLIPTA certified and competent auditors, using the SLIPTA checklist. The final percentage score(s)/star(s) of the assessments was/were identified as improvements, and the evaluation was done by taking the difference between an absolute score of the Quality System Essentials (QSE) of the baseline recent follow-up assessment.
Results: A total of nine SLIPTA assessments were carried out. The results indicated great improvements in the QMS from a baseline score of 18% (0-star) to 82% (3-stars) at the recent follow-up assessment. There were also significant changes in the QSE, with the final absolute scores ≥ 58% in all aspects and the greatest change registered in the management review (94%).
Conclusions: We identified incredible improvements and magnificent changes in the QMS at the BRHL that were due to training, mentorship, and improvements in infrastructure resulting from the implementation of the SLIPTA program.

Crianças com TDAH e problemas comportamentais na interação com mães e professores
Authors: Justino Lukas Ziegler , Bolsoni-Silva Alessandra T.
Published: July 2022

Ainda que a literatura seja ampla na temática TDAH, pouco se sabe sobre as interações em diferentes contextos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi descrever as interações sociais estabelecidas entre mães-filhos e professores-alunos quanto ao estabelecimento de limites, promoção de afeto e comunicação, considerando o relato de práticas positivas e negativas dos educadores e problemas de comportamento e habilidades sociais das crianças, de maneira contingente. Como um objetivo específico buscou-se descrever os problemas em comorbidade, a partir dos relatos de mães e de professores. Os dados de sete crianças foram coletados por meio de instrumentos aferidos: Roteiro de Entrevista de Habilidades Sociais Educativas para Pais e Professores (RE-HSE-P; RE-HSE-Pr), Questionário de Respostas Socialmente Habilidosas para Pais e para Professores (QRSH-Pais, QRSH-Pr), Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) e Teachers Report Form (TRF). Constatou-se que: as crianças encontravam mais dificuldades na escola que na família; as mães utilizavam mais práticas negativas e menos positivas que os professores; as mães eram mais afetivas; e os professores estabeleciam limites mais habilidosamente. A partir da descrição das interações na família e escola, evidencia-se a necessidade de intervenções diferenciadas nos dois contextos interacionais, a fim de melhorar a qualidade das mesmas, promovendo habilidades sociais e reduzindo dificuldades interpessoais.

Published: July 2022

Com o objetivo de caracterizar as tecnologias de ensino baseadas na Análise do Comportamento quanto aos seus diferenciais e apontar por que um programador de ensino deveria adotar uma ou outra, o presente trabalho apresenta e compara seis dessas tecno­logias: Instrução Programada; Precision Teaching; Direct Instruction; Sistema Personalizado de Ensino; Programação de Condições para o Desenvolvimento de Comportamentos; e Interteaching. Tal comparação é feita a partir do papel dos organizadores e responsáveis pela condução do ensino e do aprendiz; recursos disponibilizados; critérios e meios pelos quais a aprendizagem é verificada; e quais os contextos de aplicação. Dentre as características comuns às tecnologias, e que as caracterizam como tecnologias analítico comportamentais, são desta­cados: o papel ativo assumido pelo aprendiz; a perspectiva do professor como um programa­dor de contingências de reforçamento; o direcionamento do ensino para o uso além da sala de aula; a perspectiva de cada sujeito como único, com seu próprio ritmo de aprendizagem; e ensino a partir de passos graduais. Quanto à aplicabilidade, é visto que cada tecnologia possui peculiaridades que as tornam mais indicadas para alguns contextos do que para outros. Tais análises levam a perspectivas futuras, apresentadas ao final do artigo.

Published: July 2022

Admissão do paciente em Cuidados Paliativos (CP) altera a rotina do Cuidador Informal (CI). Este estudo objetivou identificar correlações entre Sobrecarga, Qualidade de Vida (QdV) e Suporte Social em CIs de pacientes paliados. Participaram do estudo 30 CIs em um hospital de alta complexidade. Foram utilizadas as escalas MOS-SSS (Medical Outcome Study – Social Support Survey); QASCI (Questionário de Avaliação da Sobrecarga em Cuidadores Informais); SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey) e questionário sociodemográ­fico. 67,5% dos participantes apresentaram altos escores em suporte social. Aspectos emo­cionais e físicos apresentaram as menores médias em QdV. Foram encontradas correlações significativas e negativas, fracas ou moderadas entre sobrecarga e a maioria dos domínios de QdV. Sobrecarga apresentou correlação negativa e moderada com suporte social no domínio apoio material; entre QdV e Suporte Social as correlações foram positivas, fracas ou modera­das. Vitalidade e saúde mental se correlacionaram com todos os domínios de suporte social. O papel de CI implica uma alteração da rotina. Cuidadores podem experienciar dificuldades nesta nova função. Acúmulo de tarefas e necessidade da ampliação do repertório para lidar com essa nova função de cuidador pode se relacionar com a sobrecarga relatada.
Possibilidades da Análise Funcional do Comportamento Verbal para a Prática Clínica
Authors: Queiroz Luciano Barbosa de , Medeiros Fabio Hernandez de
Published: July 2022

A maior parte dos dados de que o terapeuta dispõe para a avaliação e a intervenção é o comportamento verbal do cliente. Apesar disso, há pouca literatura que aborda as possíveis contribuições da análise dos operantes verbais para a terapia. Ainda que seja possível encontrar na literatura analítico-comportamental outros paradigmas teóricos sobre fenômenos tradicionalmente estudados como “linguagem”, a proposta skinneriana de análise funcional do comportamento verbal merece maior desenvolvimento e mostra-se potencialmente fecunda. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar e discutir como a análise do comportamento verbal contribui para a avaliação e a intervenção terapêutica. A exposição teórico-conceitual deste trabalho indica que a prática clínica pode ser aprimorada se o terapeuta fizer tais análises funcionais. Conclui-se pela necessidade da realização de pesquisas empíricas sobre o tema e da avaliação pragmática das considerações apresentadas neste artigo.
Comportamentos Clinicamente Relevantes informados pela ciência do relacionamento na Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional: O Modelo Consciência, Coragem e Amor
Authors: De Moura Prscila Rolim , Martim Gabriela Andersen Irias
Published: July 2022

O uso de comportamentos-alvos idiograficamente definidos tem dificultado a participação da Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional (FAP) no desenvolvimento de um modelo reticulado de tratamento. Uma maneira de resolver esta limitação é oferecer um conjunto padrão de alvos clínicos previsíveis para a FAP. O presente estudo detalha um método de identificação de alvos de tratamento padronizados na FAP usando o modelo de consciência, coragem e amor (ACL). A aplicabilidade do modelo foi avaliada por meio da verificação do grau de correspondência entre alvos clínicos anteriormente identificados em pesquisa FAP e as categorias especificas propostas no modelo ACL. Há uma correspondência de 83,67% entre os alvos idiográficos anteriores e os alvos padronizados atuais. Discutimos como o modelo ACL pode ser clinicamente útil e incentivamos o desenvolvimento de um tratamento mais integrativo para a FAP.
Help-Seeking Among Battered Immigrant Filipina, Indian, and Pakistani Women in the United States: Perceived Barriers and Helpful Responses
Authors: Rai Abha , Choi Y. Joon , Yoshihama Mieko , Dabby Chic
Published: July 2022

This study examines the nature of helpful responses received and barriers to seeking help following the experience of intimate partner violence among women of Filipina, Indian, and Pakistani descent (N = 143) in the United States. Instead of aggregating women from diverse backgrounds, we investigated these groups of women separately. A content analysis found that while emotional support was the most helpful response, there were important variations by ethnicity and immigration position in the perceived helpfulness of various assistance resources as well as barriers to help-seeking. This study of disaggregated Asian immigrant groups enhances our understanding of both common and unique challenges faced by each immigrant group, which can inform development of socioculturally relevant intervention programs.
Negociantes extranjeros en Colombia y poder político local durante la regeneración (1886-1898). El caso del comerciante antillano Manuel Cortissoz
Authors: Rhenals Doria Ana Milena , Villamizar Palacios Carlos Ivan
Published: July 2022

El artículo se propone abordar la reclamación instaurada por el negociante extranjero Manuel Cortissoz por perjuicios sufridos en la guerra de 1884-85, buscando identificar sus conexionescon el grupo regenerador santandereano, las cuales le ubicarían como uno de los grandes triunfadores luego del final de la guerra. Haciendo uso del método prosopográfico y los postulados analíticos de la microhistoria, indagará por tales relaciones con actores de la Regeneración en Santander durante el citado momento histórico (1886 - 1898), e intentará acercarse a la implementación de este proyecto político en las regiones. La documentación permitirá plantear como hipótesis que en efecto la cercana relación de Cortissoz con el bando regenerador no solo significó que saliera indemne de la guerra, sino que también fue crucial a la hora de fallar su reclamación, que fue concedida a pesar de incontables defectos en su trámite.

Spiritual and moral immunity among student youth in current informational confrontation
Authors: Meshcheryakova Elena I.
Published: July 2022

We focus on the psychological and pedagogical aspects of the issue of developing the spiritual and moral immunity of students in the formation of the readiness for effective confrontation in the conditions of fierce informational and psychological impact of unfriendly countries within hybrid wars. According to the author’s definition of the spiritual and moral immunity of students, there are two relatively isolated phenomena: spiritual and moral immunity as a generalized quality of social education of students and spiritual and moral immunity as a personal integrative quality of a student. The development of spiritual and moral immunity is a two-pronged process that combines personal changes that occur under the influence of intrapersonal and external influences, in which formation of personality, spiritual and moral guidelines, and social life experience, communicative interaction in society takes place. That is accompanied by the achievement of a certain level of formation of spiritual and moral immunity. We develop educational pedagogical technology taking into account the peculiarities of information confrontation influence. With its implementation in the educational process of the university positive impact on spiritual and moral immunity development among students as a holistic integrative education is possible. In its structure we distinguish value-semantic, sensory-emotional and regulatory-activity components.
Problematizing Access to Higher Education for Refugee and Globally Displaced Students: What’s the Problem Represented to Be in Canadian University Responses to Syrian, Afghan and Ukrainian Crises?
Authors: Viczko Melody , Matsumoto Renata
Published: July 2022

The UNHCR’s 15by30 campaign to increase refugee student enrolment in higher education to 15% by 2030 is a lofty goal. Canadian higher education institutions have a role to play in contributing to this policy goal, along with advocacy efforts from refugee student groups, community-based organizations, government, and international organizations. The aim of this study is to look critically at how the issue of access to higher education for refugee and globally displaced people is represented through Ontario’s universities’ responses to federal government initiatives to crises in Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine. In this study, we use Bacchi’s (2009) “What’s the problem represented to be?” approach to policy analysis and, drawing on Dillabough’s (2022) critique of modernity in higher education, we argue that university responses related to refugee and globally displaced student access to higher education offer the possibility to reflect on the paradoxical tensions of the problem space in Canadian higher education. In our findings, we discuss how the problem of refugee and displacement crisis was represented differently in response to differences in geopolitical conditions and government policies, as we demonstrate how representations of material problems and categories of “citizenship” and “geographical location” in the universities’ responses contributed to creating boundaries of inclusion and exclusion for access. Finally, we show how the creation of educational programs for “globally displaced people” during the period related to the Ukrainian crisis perpetuates the logic of colonialism in the universities’ responses.

Introdução: Os acervos arquivísticos audiovisual e sonoro são considerados conjuntos documentais de caráter histórico-administrativo, assim formando-se outro caráter que é a produção pela própria instituição, instituindo-se uma memória audiovisual e sonora. Objetivo: Apresentar uma breve reflexão sobre o que tem sido empreendido para a preservação digital dos acervos arquivísticos, audiovisual e sonoro, cujas responsabilidades são de duas unidades da Fiocruz. Estes acervos arquivísticos estão localizados respectivamente na VideoSaúde Distribuidora/ICICT e no Departamento de Arquivo e Documentação/COC, possuem em comum o fato de serem documentos de arquivo os quais representam um patrimônio cultural da saúde pública brasileira. Metodologia: Consiste em uma revisão bibliográfica chamando a atenção para o advento da preservação digital que contribui para a prática dos procedimentos metodológicos adotados em acervos arquivísticos. Discutiremos sobre quais práticas de preservação digital estão incidindo sobre os referidos acervos, e remetemos a uma questão estratégica, que é o conceito de autenticidade bem como na discussão sobre memória, história oral, documento sonoro, documento audiovisual (videográfico), patrimônio, arquivo e preservação digital. Resultados: Destacamos aqui, dois acervos arquivísticos: um acervo referente ao gênero audiovisual na ação de um diagnóstico para a preservação digital e suas estratégias, o outro acervo cujo gênero é sonoro consiste na versão preliminar de um manual de boas práticas dos documentos sonoros enquanto entrevistas, relatos e depoimentos como proposição de um plano de preservação digital. Conclusão: Apontam para a importância em preservar a memória audiovisual e sonora da saúde pública, cujas iniciativas de preservação digital correspondem aos planos e as políticas institucionais adotadas.
IN-SITU
Authors: Figueredo Henrique Grimaldi
Published: July 2022

No contexto da exposição Ouverture, mostra inaugural da Pinault Collection em seu espaço parisiense, a Bourse de Commerce, este trabalho visa refletir sobre as dimensões conceituais a extensão, mas também os limites da categoria In-situ, utilizada como recurso narrativo, tanto curatorial quanto museológico, na institucionalização de obras relacionadas ao espaço arquitetônico. Ancorados na ideia de site-specific, e mais propriamente no conceito de site-specificity, tomaremos o trabalho Untitled (2011), do artista suíço Urs Fischer, como exemplo heurístico de tais transformações.

Começa por explorar questões históricas e filosóficas em relação a monumentos e patrimônio cultural, em seguida a Convenção de Haia – 1954; 1999. Conclui-se por propor que o patrimônio é essencial, nestes tempos e circunstâncias de crise, para criticar atitudes e abordagens sem crítica.

Recognizing an Islamic Hero: The Quran-Hadith's Vision about Muhammad al-Fatih In Indonesian Comics
Authors: Putra D.I. Ansusa
Published: July 2022

This study highlights the different Qur'an-Hadith visions regarding Islamic heroism in the Muslim community, especially in Indonesia. The lack of attention of Islamic scholars to the concept of heroism was significant, emphasized by analyzing the heroism of Muhammad al-Fatih in Indonesian Islamic comics, using the socio-heroism theory of Kristian Frisk. Critical discourse analysis reviews the relation of the Qur'an-Hadith visions in the Muhammad al-Fatih comic with the social discourse of heroism in Indonesia. Furthermore, this study concludes that Islamic heroism is recognized based on two aspects, namely the transcendental recognition from the information of the Qur'an-Hadith vision and the inherent recognition from the Muslim community. It also discovered that Islamic comics in Indonesia introduce the heroism of Muhammad al-Fatih due to several factors and objectives. First is the long-standing relationship with the Turkish community. Second, the Islamic heroism in Muhammad al-Fatih's actions is considered a sign of Islamic glories and brilliance. Third, his victory is considered by some groups as an example and a positive role model for Muslims from various aspects. Therefore, this research will significantly contribute to the knowledge of future Islamic scholars about Islamic heroism, the Quran-Hadith vision, and the study of religious comics, especially in Indonesia.

Published: July 2022

The study investigated the relationship between the board of directors’ characteristics and performance in the Yemeni banks. It aimed to identify and measure the variables of the board of directors’ characteristics, and then develop a model to measure such relationships. To achieve the study objectives, panel data of 10 Yemeni banks for the years 2000-2013 were used. The study also developed 13 independent variables related to characteristics of the board of directors and two dependent variables pertinent to finance. The study used multiple regression models to test this relationship. The econometric program (EVIEWS) was also used. The study results showed that there were positive relationships between the number of meetings, the dual role of CEOs, CEO and board members’ salaries and remuneration and their percentage of ownership, on the one hand, and between the ROE and ROA on the other. In addition, the results revealed a negative relationship between the board size, number of executive members, qualifications of the CEO, and the ROE and ROA. However, there were conflicting results of the relationships between the number of audit committee members and the ROE and ROA. Therefore, it was recommended that banks form effective structure of boards of directors with good characteristics that could have positive effect on performance. It was also recommended that the Central Bank of Yemen encourage banks to provide regular data on the BOD for researchers, and enhance the participation of women in the boards.

Keywords: Board of directors, Characteristics of the board of directors, Bank performance, ROE, ROA.

To achieve these objectives, the descriptive analytical method was used. The study population was (16) very large companies for food industries consisting of (5416) participants. A sample of 359 participants was selected using the random stratified non-proportional method, and a questionnaire was used to collect the data. Results revealed that the companies pay attention to achieving the sustainable competitive advantage covering all its dimensions as well as to entrepreneurship strategies. There was also a significant difference in the impact of entrepreneurship strategies on sustainable competitive advantage based on the strategies. The most influential one was the dimension of proactiveness strategy, followed by the risk strategy dimension. There were also differences between the level of achieving sustainable competitive advantage according to the company age and product type and the level of applying entrepreneurship strategies according to company age. However, there was no difference in applying these strategies based on the product type. The study proposed a number of recommendations, including the need to enhance the level of achieving sustainable competitive advantage in all its dimensions, especially the efficiency dimension as it was the least achieved. It was also recommended to increase the use of entrepreneurship strategies for their positive impact on achieving the sustainable competitive advantage.

Published: July 2022

Satisfaction with the services of banks is just a launching point in constructing long-term relations with customers. Customer loyalty is one of the main determinants of the achievement of the marketing partnership. However, how customer satisfaction can be transferred to loyalty is the key problem. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of service quality and communication on loyalty through customer satisfaction. The scope of this study concentrated on Yemeni’s banking industry. Quantitative data was collected from 233 customers. Convenience sampling employed to determine the research respondents. The analysis was based on 160 usable questionnaires. Several data analysis techniques were conducted, such as frequencies, correlation and regression to examine the nature and the significance of the relationship between the variables. The findings revealed acceptable levels of agreement with satisfaction and loyalty factors. The results suggested that higher perception of service quality and communication led to stronger perceptions of customer satisfaction and loyalty. The results also showed that satisfaction is an essential mediator to promote loyalty to bank customers through developing effective communication and excellent service quality. Since the promotion of customer loyalty is a major concern for banks, this study is thought to contribute marginally to Yemen banks.
