FORECASTING THE REALIZED VOLATILITY OF ISLAMIC EQUITIES USING MULTIVARIATE HAR-TYPE MODELS
Authors: Ng Sew Lai , Chin Wen Cheong , Chong Lee Lee , Ng Kok Why
Published: October 2024

This study proposes nine multivariate intraday models using various realized variation measures with the aim to improve volatility forecasting in the Islamic stock market in Malaysia using a dataset from 1st April 2008 to 31st March 2018. The findings show that considering independently the jump-robust realized volatility, additional daily jump realized volatility, and continuous and discontinuous jump sample path variations improved the in-sample predictive regressions compared to using the standard realized volatility. For the out-of-sample volatility forecasts evaluation, it is observed that the volatility models that disentangled the realized volatility into its continuous and discontinuous jump components have outperformed the rest of the proposed models. This is because both the continuous and discontinuous variation of returns exhibit distinctive substantial information in yielding the final volatility dynamic and thus should be modeled disjointedly. However, the empirical results suggest that the simple autoregressive specification using the standard realized volatility is often performing better or as well as the new extension models. Lastly, this study may provide useful insight in portfolio management, risk assessment, and asset pricing, particularly in the Shariah-compliant equities.
Conflicts and Restrictions: Flora Nwapa's Visionary Exposé of Women's Struggles in Nigerian Marital Contexts
Authors: Alawia Hassan Mohammed Siddig
Published: October 2024

This paper investigates acclaimed Nigerian Author Flora Nwapa's nuanced literary portrayals of the challenges Nigerian women face within marital roles and relationships. Through textual analysis of characters and events across Nwapa's novels, short stories and folklore centered on women's experiences, the study illuminates critical perspectives on issues of patriarchy, lack of autonomy, rigid gender roles, and socioeconomic restrictions undermining women’s agency and fulfillment. Core themes highlighted in Nwapa's subtle social commentary include anguish over infertility, hardships from prolonged spousal absence, emotional tolls of polygamy, lack of personal choice in partners, limited educational and career opportunities, economic dependence, and domestic violence. Her visionary work gives voice to Nigerian women’s aspirations while exposing oppressive structures. Findings substantiate how Nwapa’s rich depictions of women navigating complex marital terrain reveal an array of postcolonial and patriarchal impediments to female empowerment. Her literary portrayal of restrictions, conflicts and oppression compels critical examination of norms inhibiting women’s advancement. By confronting gender-based inequities and envisioning transformative possibilities, Nwapa leads African women writers in catalyzing legal and sociocultural reforms to promote women’s full flourishing.

Liberdade negocial sindical em uma perspectiva republicana
Authors: Striquer Soares Marcos Antônio , Reis Santos Otavio Augusto , Durizzo de Oliveira Raul
Published: October 2024

Introdução: A autonomia negocial dos sindicatos garante que o embate dialético entre patrões e empregados produza avanços trabalhistas de maneira orgânica, ou seja, com soluções adequadas àquela realidade específica. Essa adequação está atrelada ao quão livres os sindicatos puderem atuar e se constituir.
Objetivo: Pretende-se, no presente trabalho, investigar o conceito de liberdade aplicado ao direito coletivo do trabalho.
Metodologia: Por meio da metodologia bibliográfica, iniciará a pesquisa abordando a autonomia negocial coletiva dos sindicatos e seu importante papel dialético e democrático. Após, abordar-se-ão as teorias liberal e republicana de liberdade, enfatizando a contribuição de Phillip Pettit para o pensamento contemporâneo sobre o assunto.
Resultados: Demonstra que a concepção neorrepublicana de liberdade, entendida como não dominação, bem como seus pressupostos, adequam-se ao que se espera da liberdade sindical brasileira.
Conclusão: A autonomia dos sindicatos contribui para o avanço das condições trabalhistas na medida das necessidades dos trabalhadores. Deve-se contribuir para a ampliação da liberdade sindical para que a dialética trabalhista acompanhe a realidade social subjacente. Isso significa menores restrições para a constituição dessas organizações bem como menor ingerência em suas deliberações. A contribuição do cientista político irlandês Phillip Pettit na defesa da liberdade como não dominação, resgatando o ideário republicano de civismo, se adequa à atual conjuntura constitucional brasileira com relação ao Direito do Trabalho.

Towards Digital Bangladesh: Scope of ICT integrated Urban Planning and Management
Authors: Kabir Mohammad Rasel
Published: October 2024

The world has already entered into the Information Age where information regulates all types of activities. Developed countries have gained expertise dealing with the information in their decision support systems for planning, governing, service delivery and management of resources. With the “internet bust” of the last few years, ICT becomes an enormous engine of the development process. Bangladesh and other developing countries are yet to attain this technological benefit. At present, the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) is striving to turn the country into “Digital Bangladesh” by launching an ICT based planned development and management practices throughout the country. Optimum utilization and management of the resources through better planning and management of the facilities, improve the life standard of the city dwellers. ICT can ensure the best utilization of existing resources and ease the management process. In addition to that, ICT can generate virtual spaces for delivering services and creating employment opportunities, and thus can go over the limitation of physical spaces. The current trend in development indicates that the local government institutions will be the major hub of information communication in near future, albeit the easy storage, retrieval, analysis and integration of the spatial data with non-spatial datasets requiring involvement of various central and local government institutions/departments simultaneously. A conceptual guideline is provided here for the professionals engaged in urban planning and management in the country about the changing circumstances in information based planning practices. This paper mainly examines the dimension and prospect of E-planning in Bangladesh and depicts the role of different stakeholders in this process. The ways in which urban planning and management practices may best be altered in this regard is also addressed.

A good night's sleep is essential for maintaining a healthy body and mind, as our body cells repair themselves during sleep. However, various factors can disturb our sleep, and Geopathic Stress is considered one of the contributing reasons. Geopathic Stress refers to the disturbance of natural energy flows, primarily caused by geological features such as underground water veins, mineral deposits, and fault lines, which can lead to disruptions in health. So, we aim to investigate the impact of Geopathic Stress on sleep quality and the efficacy of Enviromat as a potential solution. In this study, a total of 22 subjects were screened and recruited as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research began with a literature review of relevant studies to identify the effects of Geopathic Stress on sleep quality. After reviewing the relevant research studies, a protocol was formed and presented to the Institutional Ethics Committee for approval, at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Once the protocol was approved, Geopathic Stress zones were identified in the Sleep lab, where subjects slept on the beds in these zones. Subsequently, the Enviromat was evaluated for its efficacy to mitigate the harmful effects of Geopathic Stress on sleep quality. Complete data of 20 subjects was recorded and analysed with and without Enviromat with a gap of 10 days between two readings. The results indicated that sleep quality improved significantly (from 80.78 ± 7.83 to 87.08 ± 5.70; p-value = 0.0021) in most subjects when the Enviromat was used, suggesting its potential effectiveness in counteracting the negative effects of Geopathic Stress on sleep. These findings provide valuable insights into the relationship between Geopathic Stress and sleep and highlight the Enviromat as a promising intervention.

The Surgical Treatment of Advanced Urinary Incontinence
Authors: Jäger Wolfram , Hagemeier Anna , Päffgen André , Mallmann Peter
Published: October 2024

Purpose: Current treatments of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) are aimed to reduce the neurological influence on bladder detrusor muscle function. A previous observation after posterior exenteration led to the hypothesis that UUI is caused by a laxity of the uterosacral ligaments (USL). In a previous Clinical Phase I trial in patients with UUI continence was achieved in 40% of patients by replacement of the USL. The results supported the concept of a Clinical Phase II trial in which only patients who lost urine after urgency (advanced UI) were treated by replacement of the USL. The aim of the study was to evaluate the cause why some patients became continent while others remained incontinent after replacement of the USL.

Methods: In this Clinical Phase II trial, patients with advanced UI were included. The USL was replaced by specially designed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) structures. During laparoscopy these structures were fixed at the promontory and at the cervical stump after supracervical hysterectomy (cervicosacropexy, CESA) or at the vaginal stump (vaginosacropexy, VASA). The USL replacing parts of the structures had an identical length of 8.8 cm in CESA and 9.3 cm in VASA. Patients who remained incontinent after tensioning of the vagina were offered a suburethral trans-obturator tape (TOT).

Results: 339 patients with advanced urinary incontinence (UI) were evaluable. Continence was re-established in 39% of patients after CESA and in 32.9% after VASA. The statistical analysis revealed that the Continence Rates (CR) after CESA or VASA were significantly (p<0.001) dependent on patients age at surgery (<60 years vs ≥60 years). The respective CR after CESA were 50% vs 26% and after VASA 41.5% vs 28.9%. After an additional transobturator tape (TOT) the overall CR was between 67.5% and 87.5%.

Conclusion: The replacement of the USL by PVDF-tapes of defined length led to continence in between 32.9% and 39% of the patients. After the additional placement of a TOT 8/4 the percentage of continent patients increased by 30.5% to 37.3%. These findings support the hypothesis that continence is dependent on the physiological function of the USL and PUL. The observation that the CR after USL replacement decreased in patients ≥60 years indicates that ageing affected some additional other part in the area of the urethra-vesical junction (UVJ). The CR after CESA or VASA (and a TOT) in patients with advanced UI deserve further clinical evaluation.

The paper identifies the main indicators of economic losses of European countries that depend on climate change, because the weather anomalies have a significant impact on economic processes. It studies the dynamics of changes in the area of forested land according to FAO of the European G7 members, the current potential of forest resources of Ukraine and identifies the necessity of systematic electronic wood accounting. It is established that in the EU countries the practice of returning many types of raw materials to production after waste processing has long been accepted, and the need for the fastest possible introduction of innovative processing technologies is identified. Mathematical formulas for calculating the coefficient of cyclicality, circular use of materials and establishes the level of using cyclical materials by European manufacturers are derived. It is established that to identify the efficiency and dynamism of waste transformation, it is appropriate to use an indicator that measures the fraction of recycled household waste in the total volume of its generation. The article establishes the share of fossil fuels in the total available energy of European countries and analyses the dynamics of primary energy consumption based on the example of the Scandinavian countries. It identifies the level of revenues from environmental taxes in most European countries and their importance for the circular economy. It is recommended for Ukraine to study and use the experience of the European Union countries for construction its own model of circular economy based on the principles of balanced nature management and sustainable development.

The basis for primary monitoring studies of regional flora is the analysis of literary sources and herbarium materials. Areas where the primary concentration of new, introduced plants was carried out are often botanical gardens. The value of botanical gardens also lies in the fact that here, as a rule, comprehensive scientific work with new species is carried out. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze specimens of plant species that are stored in historical (name) herbarium collections of MSUD and collected during the period of formation and development of the botanical garden at Odesa National University named after I.I. Mechnikov. Four herbarium collections we studied the Higher Women’s Pedagogical Courses, Novorossiysk University, the collection of P.S. Shesterikov, E.E. Lindemann. A synopsis of the discovered species and forms of plants is given. The collectors are: Oleksandr Nordman (1 herbarium specimen), Mykola Zelenetskyi (39), Lidia Basarska (five), Petro Shesterikov (2), Ludvig Rishavi (12), Yakiv Valts (1). In total, 60 herbarium sheets of species and forms of plants from various collectors, mainly from the period of the middle of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, were found. They represent 45 species and forms from 16 families; another specimen identified only to genus. The largest number of species belong to the Cupressaceae family — 8 species and one genus. And also the Pinaceae family: 17 species and forms. The vast majority of detected species are trees or shrubs. Currently, 22 of the noted species can be found in Odesa. Moreover, 12 of them (54.55%) are found «alone» in a narrow range of ecotopes of the city, which are elements of general, limited, and special purpose plantations. 15 of them are still components of the territory of the ONU botanical garden — 68.18%; seven species (31.82%) occur «everywhere». Among the samples found are representatives of important groups of plant species. Yes, Ginkgo biloba L. is a rare plant from the list of sozophytes for the Odesa region, and has the category «exotic». Also, the species Amorpha fruticosa L. is a species with a high invasive capacity. In addition, it is a «transformer» that is «actively and massively represented in certain areas».
Monitoring of agroecosystem desertification processes according to satellite data: experience and perspectives
Authors: Vasiliev D. , Ilienko T.
Published: October 2024

Desertification is a major environmental threat that affects the lives of millions of people around the world. In order to effectively prevent this effect in agro-ecosystems at local and regional levels, it is necessary to have accurate information about its spatial distribution. Remote sensing plays a crucial role in this process due to its cost-effectiveness, ability to cover large areas, and use of a variety of sensors and data analysis methods. The combination of GIS, mathematical models and ground observations allows for more accurate data on land degradation. The purpose of this study is to summarize the experience of both Ukrainian and foreign researchers in the use of remote sensing for monitoring and assessment of desertification and land degradation processes at the global and national levels, as well as to identify areas for further improvement of remote sensing methods for integrated monitoring of desertification in agroecosystems and land degradation. This article reviews the experience of using satellite remote sensing data, mathematical models of desertification, and geographic information systems to identify areas prone to degradation in different parts of the world. Special attention is paid to the adaptation of these models to local conditions using additional parameters. The article also highlights the achievements of Ukrainian scientists in the field of satellite monitoring of agricultural landscapes, their classification and assessment based on remote sensing data. Prospects for further research are outlined. The use of an integrated approach combining geographic information systems, satellite data, analysis of environmental indicators, and mathematical models of desertification adapted to regional characteristics proves to be effective. The main directions remain the adaptation of models to regional conditions, the development of forecasting methods using remote sensing data, and the expansion of international data and experience exchange. It is important to continue to improve remote monitoring methods for the early detection of degradation processes and to strengthen research at the national level for the implementation of appropriate measures.
Cytogenetic monitoring of spontaneous mutagenesis

Due to the challenging environmental situation in Ukraine, there is a need for cytogenetic monitoring, establishing cause-and-effect relationships, and assessing the toxic-mutagenic activity of environmental components. The results of such monitoring can serve as a basis for developing rehabilitation measures aimed at improving the environmental condition. Cytogenetic bioassay methods allow the evaluation of ecological and genetic risks to biota, considering the overall impact of pollutants, predicting changes in ecosystems, and making timely management decisions to improve environmental quality and preserve the nation’s gene pool. The article provides cytogenetic monitoring of apical meristems of the roots of Raphanus sativus subsp. radicula (Pers.) DC. and Allium cepa L. seedlings., grown on soils of residential areas, and the effect of ions of some elements on the cytological parameters of Pisum sativum L. was studied. It was noted that the spectrum of mitosis abnormalities and chromosome aberrations was expanded due to lagging chromosomes and micronuclei. Residential areas with a consistently high level of spontaneous cytogenetic disorders require the development of a local monitoring system to identify genetic hazards. The research on the proliferative activity of apical meristem cells confirms the hypothesis of aluminum toxicity to plants. Cytotoxic effects are assessed at the micro- and macroscopic levels. Macroscopically, reduced root growth of bioindicator plants was observed, which may result from several possible mechanisms: cell death, inhibition of division, cell elongation, or nutrient absorption. It was found that the duration of the prophase is directly influenced by the mobile forms of Zn and Pb, while Cu has a reverse effect. According to the results of multiple regression analysis, the most significant influence on these processes is exerted by the mobile forms of Zn, Cu, and Pb in the surface layers of the soils of the studied residential areas. Under the influence of AlCl3, the proportion of cells in the anaphase stage increases; CdCl2 affects the prophase stage; Na2SeO3 affects the meta- and anaphase stages; X-ray irradiation affects the telophase stage. Regarding the ability to induce the frequency of aberrant anaphases, a ranking can be constructed: Na2SeO3 (3.75·10–6 M) > AlCl3 (3.86·10–5 M) > CdCl2 (8.44·10–5 M). A radiation dose of 9.03·10–3 C/kg leads to the frequency of chromosomal aberrations, similar to the effects of AlCl3 (3.86·10–4 M) and Na2SeO3 (8.34·10–6 M). High concentrations of aluminum are associated with an increase in anaphases with fragments and two to three bridges.

Composite models, which suggest a possible substructure of fundamental particles, can be directly proven by the discovery of the excited quark. Higher energy and higher-luminosity particle colliders are needed to discover the composite structure predicted in the proposed models. The High Energy Large Hadron Collider (HE-LHC) has the potential to be a possible discovery machine for composite models. In this collider, with a center-of-mass energy of 27 TeV and integrated luminosity between 750 and 15000 fb\textsuperscript{-1}, we calculated the exclusion, observation, and discovery limits for the mass of spin-1/2 excited quark in the \textit{di-jet} final state, as well as the attainable compositeness scale values. In addition to these calculations, we scanned free parameters from 0.06 to 1 to determine the HE-LHC potential to reveal spin-1/2 excited quark.
