Does macroeconomic transmission streams matter for climate change and banking system stability relationships in selected Sub-Saharan economies?
Authors: Amo-Bediako Emmanuel , Takawira Oliver , Choga Ireen
Published: July 2024

This study examines the macroeconomic transmission streams through which climate change impacts banking system stability in selected sub-Saharan economies. Climate change has become a paramount issue facing planet Earth. As a result, numerous empirical studies have emerged examining the impact of climate change on financial activities. Further, the study adopts the quantitative research methodology in a panel data framework and employs the wavelet coherence technique on the basis that it combines both time interval and frequency dimensions in its assessment. The study utilizes 29 selected economies from SSA for the period 1996-2017. The overall findings show that macroeconomic indicators (inflation, labor productivity, real GDP, and real exchange rate) serve as pathways through which climate change impacts banking system stability in selected sub-Saharan economies. It was also revealed that interaction between greenhouse gas emissions and labor productivity has more continuous coherence (both in the short-term and long-term) than any other variable used in this present study. We recommend that central banks, monetary authorities, and government on policy front consider macroeconomic effects in the integration of climate change policies for stable banking system operations in SSA. Macroeconomic indicators are highly sensitive; however, it is well-written that fundamentals of macroeconomic indicators in SSA are weak.
The impact of macroeconomic and bank internal factors on banking stability: Evidence from Kosovo banking sector
Authors: Statovci Bujar , Balaj Driton
Published: July 2024

The aim of this research paper is to empirically identify the impact of internal and macroeconomic factors on the stability of the banking sector in Kosovo. The stability of banks is determined by the amount of risk they can be exposed to. NPLs (non-performing loans) are one of the main factors used to measure banking stability. In addition to the literature in the Eurozone and the United States, there is a gap in Kosovo regarding the impact of internal and macroeconomic factors on the stability of the banking sector. This paper aims to fill the existing gap and expand the literature and knowledge on banking stability. The paper attempts to answer the following questions: which are the internal and macroeconomic factors that impact the banking stability in Kosovo? Regression modelling using panel OLS, random and fixed effects was used to generate the main findings and results. Results show that return on assets, loan loss provision, capitalization, and bank size at p-value <0.05 have a statistically significant impact on non-performing loans, whereas loan growth, GDP, and inflation have statistically insignificant impact on non-performing loans. The research paper is helpful for senior management of the banks, central bank, investors, and government to take into consideration the internal and macroeconomic factors that impact the banking stability.
Factors affecting the financial reporting quality in commercial banks: Evidence in Vietnam
Authors: Hong Nguyen Thi Phuong
Published: July 2024

The research aims to investigate the factors affecting the financial reporting quality (FRQ) of Vietnam’s commercial banks. These factors include board size, board independence, bank size, operating time, and the bank’s profit. The data for this study were collected from financial reports and annual reports of Vietnamese joint-stock commercial banks for the period 2019-2022. The author made a comparison of 3 models-Pooled Ordinary Least Square (Pooled OLS), Rem Effects Model (REM), and Fixed Effects Model (FEM) to select the best model. The results indicated that FEM was the most appropriate model. However, the model appeared heteroscedastic, so Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) was applied to test these hypotheses. FRQ was measured by qualitative characteristics approach, which was clarified by the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) Framework. The research results found two factors significantly influencing the FRQ in Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Banks. They were bank size and operating time. However, the remaining factors, such as board size, board independence, and bank's profit, did not affect the FRQ in Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Banks. Our findings have some implications for relevant stakeholders, such as regulators, joint stock commercial banks, shareholders, etc., in making effective economic decisions.

Authors: Rahman MS , Pritha US , Khatun P , Bari MA , Sarkar MMR , Ud-deen M , Kabir G
Published: July 2024

Mitotic index of Lablab purpureus was found highest in BARI Sheem-6 and lowest in BARI Sheem-1. A high mitotic index value shows the higher growth patterns of plants than others. The interphase nuclear structure analysis showed differences in the organization and distribution of chromatin within the nuclei of the cultivars. Percentages of heterochromatin were found highest in BARI Sheem-5 and lowest in BARI Sheem-3 which may be considered as more primitive and more advance in nature, respectively. Some cultivars exhibited a more condensed and organized nuclear structure, while others displayed a more dispersed and irregular arrangement of chromatin. Furthermore, the measurement of heterochromatin percentage indicated significant variations among the cultivars. Heterochromatin, which is associated with the gene silencing and genome stability, ranged from low to high percentages in different cultivars. This suggests potential differences in gene expression and genomic stability among the 10 cultivars of L. purpureus. Overall, the study highlights the existence of genetic diversity in L. purpureus cultivars, as evidenced by variations in interphase nuclear structure and heterochromatin percentage. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence the phenotypic characteristics agronomic performance of L. purpureus.

Mango is the leading seasonal cash crop in Rajshahi, Naogaon and Chapainawabganj and other regions of Bangladesh. But due to fruit fly and borer the important cash crop is prone to attacks of insect pests and diseases its developmental stages. The study has been conducted to find out the effect of pre-harvest fruit bagging against fruit fly and borer on post-harvest quality and shelf life of mango cv. Amrapali. Under this study five different bagging materials were used e.g (i) control (non-bag fruit), (ii) brown paper bag (T1), (iii) white paper bag (T2), (iv) black polythene bag (T3) and (v) white polythene bag (T4). In this case non-bagging fruits were considered as control (T0). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Significant variations among the pre-harvest bagging materials in relation to physio-chemical quality attributes and shelf life of mango cv. Amrapali was found. The attributes such as weight, length and breadth of fruit, skin color, moisture content, dry matter content, Vitamin-C, sugar content (reducing, non-reducing and total sugar), total soluble solids content and shelf life were significantly influenced by the bagging materials. All parameters except Vitamin-C of the bagged fruits were higher than that of control fruits. Highly significant difference in respect of shelf life between bagged and non-bagged fruit was observed. The longer shelf life (15.06 days) was observed in brown paper bag whereas the shortest shelf life (7.92 days) was in control fruits. It was observed that all bagging materials were 100% effective against fruit fly and borer attack but all physical and chemical parameters were significantly affected due to apply different bagging materials. Considering all parameters, it was found that brown paper and white paper bagged fruits mangoes appeared to be the best in respect of skin color weight and size of fruit, moisture content, dry matter content, Vitamin-C content, total soluble solids content, and extending shelf life in mango cv.

Azithromycin possesses low aqueous solubility leading to inadequate absorption and poor bioavailability after oral administration. Solid dispersion of azithromycin represented a formulation with enhanced dissolution and antibacterial activity. The study designed to evaluate the in-vivo potential of azithromycin-loaded solid dispersion in Escherichia coli-induced diarrheagenic (DEC) mice. Diarrhea was induced in Swiss Albino mice by the oral administration of bacterial culture (100 μl of 1010 CFU/ml) in high glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM). The E. coli-infected diarrheal mice received oral administration of azithromycin-loaded solid dispersion, equivalent doses of pure azithromycin and/or vehicle (DMEM in high glucose) for 3 days; and their effects on diarrheal score, inflammatory markers, and histology of intestinal tissues were observed. Azithromycin-loaded solid dispersion treatment prevented diarrhea and retardation of growth in infected mice more efficiently than the equivalent doses of pure azithromycin. The E. coli-infected mice demonstrated soft feces with irregular intervals; however, the nature and frequency of feces were improved with azithromycin-loaded solid dispersion. The increased level of total white blood cells and % of neutrophil was also significantly decreased with solid dispersion of azithromycin. In contrast, pure azithromycin did not alter the counts compared to disease control mice. Furthermore, the colonic tissues of E. coli-infected mice showed loss of epithelial integrity with sub-mucosal edema and also associated with increased serum amylase and C-reactive protein levels. However, solid dispersion of azithromycin-treated mice exhibited restoration of colonic tissue structure with a significant attenuation in serum amylase and C-reactive protein levels compared to pure azithromycin and/or vehicle-treated mice. Solid dispersion of azithromycin was more effective against E. coli-infected diarrheagenic mice than the equivalent doses of pure azithromycin; and the effect was dose-dependent.

A Review on the Magnetic Behaviour of Ni and Mn based Double Perovskites
Authors: Singh Amit Kumar , Kumar Ashwani , Singh Beer Pal
Published: July 2024

This review article describes the observation of some fascinating phenomena in double perovskites. Multifunctional double perovskite materials of general formula A2BB'O6 have received significant scientific attention owing to their fascinating physical characteristics, such as low field magnetoresistance, high temperature ferromagnetism, metal-insulator transition, spin ordering, phase separation and multiferroicity making them a potential candidate for spintronics device applications. Among them, R2NiMnO6 double perovskites have drawn significant attention in last few decades, owing to their rich physics and potential applications. The ordered arrangement of B-site cations is essential for unlocking unique magnetic and transport characteristics in these compounds. While double perovskites with ordered B-sites are highly sought after for their magnetoresistive and ferromagnetic (FM) properties, achieving perfect order is challenging due to the similarity in ionic radii and oxidation states among various cations at the B-site, leading to randomness in the arrangement of ions. This results in the occurrence of "anti-site" disorders, where the arrangement becomes random. These disorders may manifest as Ni2+-O–Ni2+ and Mn4+–O–Mn4+ configurations, causing antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions in R2NiMnO6. Furthermore, the development of antiphase boundaries (APBs) owing to anti-site disorders may be the primary source of antiferromagnetic interaction in R2NiMnO6. These antisite disorders strongly affect the properties of the double perovskites and lead to the origination of some fascinating phenomena such as exchange bias and spin glass. These phenomena are utilized in the development of spintronic devices. The discussion made in the present review article would be extremely helpful to the researchers who are doing research in the field of material science.
Acculturation of Malay and Javanese Culture in Limas House Building Art: A Comparative Study of Limas Houses and Joglo Limasan Houses
Authors: Al-Faris Raihan Sulthan , Herwandi Herwandi
Published: July 2024

This research discusses acculturation between Javanese and Malay culture found in the traditional house of South Sumatra, namely Rumah Limas. This research uses historical research methods with a comparative descriptive perspective. When the Sriwijaya kingdom began to collapse in the 12th century, kingdoms from Java began to enter Palembang. After that, Raden Fatah founded the Demak Kingdom in Palembang which became the forerunner to the founding of the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate. A form of acculturation between Malay and Javanese culture is found in Rumah Limas which is a traditional house from South Sumatra. This acculturation is found in the roof shape of the Limas House which is adapted from the Limasan Joglo House, Central Java. Historically, this acculturation occurred because the Palembang Darussalam Kingdom was an Islamic kingdom in Palembang which had Javanese influences in its government structure.

Authors: Isnani Isnani , Suprayitno Suprayitno , Nuhung Nuhung
Published: July 2024

This article discusses Lhokseumawe City during the New Order era using historical research methods consisting of heuristics, verification, interpretation and historiography. The research results show that Lhokseumawe City tends to have good geographical conditions as an industrial location. This is also supported by Lhokseumawe's long history as an indicator that this region has long been important to rulers at all times. During the New Order government, Lhokseumawe was then turned into an industrial city with all the natural resources it had. The success of the New Order in turning Lhokseumawe into an industrial city was carried out by enacting Regional Laws and Regulations as legitimacy in the management of all commodities owned by the region. Even though development was promoted in Lhokseumawe, it was only physical, while the people still experienced social inequality, until the end of the New Order's rule for more than 30 years.

Employing a historical research method, the study follows four stages: heuristics (data collection), source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings reveal the Dutch role as Resident in Jambi from 1906-1942, highlighting the early period of Dutch presence (1906-1920), the colonial heyday (1920-1929), and the decline of Dutch influence (1929-1942). The research underscores the complex legacy of Dutch colonialism in Jambi, illustrating both advancements and exploitation experienced by the local population. Furthermore, it provides a nuanced understanding of the shifts in power dynamics and their lasting effects on the region's development.

Hizmetlerin girdilerinin, sunumunun, yönetiminin ve organizasyonunun erişim, kalite, kullanıcı memnuniyeti ve verimliliğin artırılması amacıyla bir araya getirilmesi olarak tanımlanan bütünleşik sağlık hizmetlerinin amacı birbirinden kopuk ve bağımsız sunulan bazı sağlık hizmetlerine bağlı olarak ortaya çıkabilecek hasta güvenliği sorunları ile maliyet sorunlarını azaltmaktır. Bütünleştirme yatay ya da dikey şekilde olabilmektedir. Hangi tür sağlık hizmetlerinin, hangi hizmet basamağında, hangi sağlık kuruluşları ve profesyonelleri tarafından bütünleşik şekilde sunulması gerektiği konusunda tüm toplumlara uyarlanabilecek standart formüller bulunmamaktadır. Ülkelerin, aynı ülkedeki farklı bölgelerin coğrafi, sosyal ve ekonomik koşullarına bağlı olarak farklı bütünleştirme yöntemleri uygulanabilmektedir. Teknolojik ve bilimsel gelişmelere bağlı olarak zaman içerisinde yeni hizmet türlerinin, yeni mesleklerin ortaya çıkması yeni örgütlenmeleri ve yeni iş birliklerini gerektirebildiğinden bütünleşik hizmet konusunu sabit bir uygulama olarak değil dinamik bir değişim süreci olarak görmek gerekir. Sağlık politikaları, yönetimi ve örgütlenmesi alanındaki karar vericilerin ve yetkili profesyonellerin bu konuda donanımlı olması önemlidir.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 that developed after COVID-19 vaccination.
Material and Method: The study was conducted at a state hospital between July 5 and August 5, 2021. Patients who received COVID-19 vaccine, whose SARS-CoV-2 positivity was confirmed by molecular methods, and who were hospitalized for COVID-19 were included. Sociodemographic information and clinical observation results of patients were recorded.
Results: 49.09% of the patients were female and the median age was 72.00 [62.00-79.00] years. 70.45% of patients had a chronic disease and 37.27% were constantly using medication. 82.73% of patients received the CoronaVac vaccine and 8.18% received COVID-19 mRNA vaccine; 9.09% had received both vaccines. 66.82% of patients received two doses of COVID-19 vaccine, 26.82% received three doses, 5.45% received one dose and 0.91% received four doses of COVID-19 vaccine. When the infection findings at the time of admission to the hospital are evaluated, the most common symptoms in patients are dyspnea (89.55%), cough (45.45%), weakness (37.73%), malaise (22.27%) and fatigue-exhaustion. (20.00%); 95% of them had COVID-19 findings in their lung imaging reports. 99.55% of patients receive oxygen therapy; 62.73% were connected to mechanical ventilation. 91.82% of patients were receiving steroid treatment, 89.09% were receiving faviripavir treatment, and 98.64% were receiving anticoagulant; 96.82% had received antibiotic treatment. 38.64% of patients were discharged; 61.36% died.
Conclusion: It has been observed that the average age of patients who contracted COVID-19 disease after the COVID-19 vaccine was high, they had a high rate of chronic disease, they were vaccinated with hight rate CoronaVac vaccine, and they received a maximum of two doses of vaccine and they did not receive a reminder dose. Mortality and morbidity can be reduced by creating successful vaccination programs as well as protective measures in the fight against COVID-19.

Authors: Bilgili Duygu
Published: July 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess and compare the Vibringe Sonic Irrigation System and conventional irrigation (bevel open-ended) in terms of postoperative pain.
Methods: Ninety asymptomatic, nonvital, single-rooted and single-canal teeth were evaluated for present clinical study. The included teeth were separated into two treatment groups [Group 1: Conventional irrigation, control (pink card), Group 2: Vibringe (blue card)] via cards selected by the patients. After treatment, all participants were given a verbal descriptor scale for the assessment of the pain and taken analgesics at the 6th, 12th, 24th, and 72nd hours.
Results: Although there was no significant difference in the number of teeth with pain between the groups at the 6th, 24th, and 72nd hours, there was statistically more teeth with pain in group 2 in the 12th hour evaluation. However, in group 1, pain severity was significantly less than group 2 at all time periods.
Conclusion: The outcome of this study denotes that the use of the Vibringe may cause an increase in the postoperative pain in comparison to conventional irrigation for asymptomatic teeth.

Introduction: This study was carried out to assess and compare the efficacies of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) applied to sciatic Valleix points to reduce sciatica in patients with chronic lumbar radiculopathy. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 164 patients with chronic radicular pain caused by LDH. The remaining 75 patients were studied in three groups. TENS and hotpack were applied to the lower back region of all patients. In addition, group 1 (n=24), group 2 (n=25), and group 3 (n=26) received LLLT (4 J/cm2 for each point), TENS, and sham LLLT, respectively, on sciatic Valleix points five days a week, for three weeks (15 sessions). Outcomes were assessed at the beginning of the treatment, after completion of 3 weeks of treatment, and after three months (follow-up). Results: Post-treatment assessments indicated that all parameters investigated within the scope of the study improved in all three groups, except for the VAS leg pain (VASLP) score in group 3. Post-treatment VASLP and DN4 scores of group 1 were significantly superior to those of group 2 (P˂0.001). Follow-up assessments revealed an improvement only in the VASLP score and in group 1. The VASLP, DN-4, and ODI scores of groups 1 and 2 were significantly superior to those of group 3. There was no significant difference between the groups in the PSQI score and lumbar ROM value. Conclusion: Both LLLT and TENS were found to be effective in treating the sciatic nerve associated with lumbar disk herniation with radiculopathy. LLLT was found to be more effective than TENS in reducing leg and neuropathic pains. Follow-up assessments revealed that the only lasting effect of the treatments, which continued into the third month, was the improvement in leg pain.

Introduction: This study assessed the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the osseointegration of immediately loaded implants with a connective tissue graft (CTG). Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on patients with buccal bone dehiscence requiring dental implants. A CTG was harvested from the palate and placed in the labial side by considering the 2 mm distance between the implant thread and bone. Autogenous bone was harvested from the tuberosity, mixed with the allograft, and implanted at the site. After sufficient torquing of the implant, a customized abutment was fabricated and placed. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups (n=5) of intervention and control. The patients in the intervention group received LLLT with a 940 nm gallium-aluminum-arsenide laser while those in the control group received placebo irradiation. The primary implant stability was measured before the delivery of customized abutment while the secondary implant stability was measured after 12 weeks by Osstell® and reported as the implant stability quotient (ISQ). Results: No significant difference was found in secondary ISQ between the laser and control groups (P>0.05). In the intervention group, a significant difference was found between the primary and secondary ISQ in the buccolingual dimension (P<0.05) but not in the mesiodistal dimension (P>0.05). The two groups had no significant difference in gingival thickness or vertical bone gain (P>0.05). All implants were successful with no complications. Conclusion: LLLT had a significant positive efficacy for the enhancement of secondary stability of implants in the buccolingual dimension. CTG showed optimal efficacy for the treatment of buccal bone dehiscence.

Introduction: Photoaging that is accompanied by gene expression alteration is known as early aging of the skin due to overexposure to natural and/or artificial ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The assessment of gene expression alteration in human primary neonatal dermal fibroblasts depending on recovery time after exposure to solar simulated ultraviolet radiation (ssUVR) is the main aim of this bioinformatic study. Methods: Data are extracted from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The pre-evaluation is done via the GEO2R program. The Significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were assessed via protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, and the central genes were identified. The central genes were enriched via gene ontology assessment. Results: Among 224 significant DEGs, 20 central genes including TOP2A, MKI67, BRCA1, HELLS, MAD2L1, ANLN, KIF11, MSH2, KRAS, NCAPG, RFC3, PLK4, WDHD1, BLM, CDKN3, KIF15, SMARCA5, and ATAD2 as hub genes and TOP2A, MKI67, BRCA1, ANLN, KRAS, PLK4, SMARCA5, MMP2, and TLR4 as bottleneck genes were determined. Eight central genes were associated with 16 biological terms. Conclusion: In conclusion, significant differences appeared between gene expression conditions of the cells after 1-day and 5-day recovery. Molecular events include the repair and continuation of photodamages. It is possible to introduce drug targets to prevent the progress of induced damages.
