Credit Risk Management Can Gear Up Bank Performance – Moderating Effect of Interest Rate in Developed Countries
Authors: Saleem Munazza , Masood Omar
Published: March 2023

This research explores the role of interest rate as a moderator in credit risk management, influencing the performance of banking industry in selected developed countries using a two-step GMM model. The annual data of the top 10 banks of the selected 10 developed countries ranging from 2001 to 2020 was used. The developed countries or G-10 are Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which are the originators of the Basel Accords. Bank performance, proxied by ROA, ROE, ATO, and NPM, is dependent. Interest rate is a moderator, independent and indexed, developed after netting off lending interest rate (LIR), interest rate spread (IRS) & net interest margin (NIM). The credit risk management index (CRM index) was derived after netting off the effects of extra ordinary financing of net loans and leases, negativity of nonperforming loans, and secured cushioning of risk-weighted assets. The results confirmed that CRM improves the growth of banking, especially in case of ROA, ROE, and NPM, improves more by the induction of the moderator of the interest rate index and enhances more with the induction of the interaction. This research guides for rearranging the determinants of CRM, identifying loopholes of CRM, fixing interest rates, and looking after natural fixation of interest rate. CRM policies should be stringent, security analysis must be centralized, offered interest rate must be natural and savings must be used in a productive usage rather than multiple financing at lower interest rates. The research contributed two indexes, the CRM index and the interest rate index (IR index), which were developed by NPLs, NLLs, RWAs and LIR, IRS, and NIM, respectively. The results highlighted that loanable fund theory is starving without remedial measures of CRM for leakage of “credit”, drainage of “capital” or seepage of “money”. The researcher selected ten developed countries with the 10 highest scoring banks in a period of 2001-2020 and used a two-stage GMM technique.

Published: March 2023

In developing or "third-world" countries, women's social inclusion is a big problem. This is because women are such an important part of society in the modern era of globalization. In the majority of patriarchal societies, women are treated as subordinates with no power. Another significant social issue in Pakistan is the social integration of women into mainstream society. Investigating women's emancipation, social inclusion, and demographic factors through microfinance is the study's aim. Using a structured questionnaire with binary and categorical replies, information was gathered from 305 respondents. Information from the respondents was collected simply through random sampling. Advanced statistical approaches were employed to evaluate and interpret the data, which were analyzed using the SPSS-24 version. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the demographic variables, while inferential statistics were used to analyze the other variables related to the objectives. The results of the study demonstrated a relationship between the demographic factors and those that affected their social inclusion. Through microfinance, women are given more power, which has enhanced their participation in economic activities as well as their empowerment in all spheres, including social, cultural, economic, and inclusion in public spheres through the improvement of decision-making abilities.

Caregiver Implemented Dialogic Reading: Impact on Children with and without Autism in Brazil
Authors: Müller Katia Fabiane , Paula Nunes Débora , Schmidt Carlo
Published: March 2023

There is evidence about the effectiveness of using caregiver-implemented, shared book reading protocols for mitigating language and literacy deficits in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In Brazil, studies of this nature are scarce but essential for identifying successful early intervention practices for a population that has significantly grown in the last three decades. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of Reading to Engage Children with Autism in Language and Learning (RECALL), an intervention protocol that employs dialogic reading principles on the language and literacy skills of a 3-year-old child with ASD and a 4-year-old typically developing peer. Using a single-subject A-B research design, the effects of RECALL, employed by mothers, on their children's responses were evaluated. The results revealed that: (a) average effect size for strategy use following caregiver training was large for the mother of the child with ASD (Tau-U = 0,7) and moderate for the mother of the typically developing child (Tau-U = 0,5) ; (b) both children became more responsive, significantly increasing the frequency of communication interactions following caregiver intervention (Tau-U = 1); (d) the child with typical development showed an increase in the frequency of correct and spontaneous responses, and (c) the intervention was positively evaluated by the caregivers. Adaptations of the protocol, as well as its limitations, are discussed.

Published: March 2023

The fishing regulatory measures in the Republic of Moldova that have been applied over the years in natural ecosystems have not always been effective - either through the faulty organization of the exploitation of fish resources, non-compliance with the fishing regime, failure to assess the state of fish resources, the ineffectiveness of ameliorative measures etc., or through the imperfection of the normative framework. Regardless of the causes that generate and maintain such a situation, it is certain that quality and efficient renovations are needed, based on fundamental scientific research. Thus, the present work aims to approach the fishing activity in the natural aquatic ecosystems of the Republic of Moldova based on scientifically argued principles.

Published: March 2023

The results of this study consist in the complex analysis of the pedo-geomorphological support of the Orhei National Park to identify the morphodynamics of the relief and the sustainable exploitation of natural ecosystems. The dominant relief is the sculptural one, characterized by asymmetric valleys, formed on a generally monoclinal structure. The accelerated evolution of the hydrographic network with a subsequent character determined the development of the cuesta relief, in which short and steep slopes can be distinguished on one side (cuesta front), and on the other long and gentle slopes (cuesta reverse). The soil cover is specific to the forest-steppe zone, the gray forest soils being dominant. The need for this analysis must be taken into account for studying the evolution of natural processes in establishing measures to preserve the ecological balance

Published: March 2023

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are getting popular as promising photovoltaic technology due to their high efficiency and economical manufacturing costs. PSCs' effectiveness and stability have continuously improved in recent years, and research into minimizing lead leakage and creating environmentally acceptable lead-free perovskites is advancing the commercialization of PSCs step by step. The goal of this paper is to design a solar cell model based on getting higher light transmission and lower light reflection. Three-layer solar cell structure containing perovskite, titanium dioxide, and metal Nano layer sandwich between a silicon substrate and glass cover. The Maple 17 software is used to create the numerical results for the Transfer matrix, which determines the transmission and reflection of the incident light for various physical parameters of the structure. The results showed that the cell with aluminum cell has an excellent transmittance for a wide range of incident angles, perovskite thickness, and effective layer thickness. The short circuit current density reaches the most significant value at (𝛼 = 0), and it has zero value for parallel incidents. The cell of CH3NH3PbI3perovskite type and the aluminum metal nanolayer has the highest current density and a non-zero value for a wide range of incident angles.

Published: March 2023

Gaza Strip suffers from a water crisis due to the scarcity of water resources and the substantial increase of the population. For a long time, the supply of freshwater to the population in Gaza depends overwhelmingly on the groundwater, causing the intrusion of seawater that leading to increasing the salinity of the groundwater. Therefore, seawater desalination was proposed to produce safe water for domestic use. Subsequently, the characteristics of the produced wastewater will be affected. This research aims to study the effect of seawater desalination on the reuse of treated effluent to achieve self-sufficiency in horticulture crops. Modeling of long-term metrological data using the FAO- CROPWAT model was used to estimate irrigation water requirements. Also, the software LINDO application was used for the spatial planning of the crops on the available areas. The study showed potential improvements in the treated wastewater in the light of seawater desalination. The proposed cultivated areas to be irrigated with treated wastewater will be 76.5, 87.8 and 100.8 thousand dunum for the years 2025, 2030 & 2035, respectively. Moreover, the treated effluents will be used by 96, 78 and 73% for irrigation for the years 2025, 2030 & 2035, respectively and the rest will be recharged to the groundwater.

Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) carrying Staphylococcus aureus may act as a source of infection. This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of MRSA and the genetic make-up of S. aureus nasal colonizers among HCWs. Methodology: Nasal swabs were obtained from 202 HCWs and 205 NHCWs and molecular characterization of identified methicillin resistant S. aureus isolates was achieved using polymerase chain reaction technique for leukocidin toxin, pyrogenic toxins and toxic shock syndrome toxin. Results: seventy-four HCWs (36.6%) were colonized with S. aureus (MSSA = 51; MRSA = 23). The overall MRSA colonization rate was 11.3 % (n/N=23/202) and 31.1% (n/N=23/74) of those colonized with S. aureus harbored MRSA. There was statistically significant difference in S. aureus colonization rate between HCWs and NHCWs (P = 0.003). Most of the 74 isolates contained at least one of the 13 enterotoxin genes. The most prevalent enterotoxin was seg (63.5%), followed by sei (55.4%), sea (45.9%), seb (36.4%), see (9.4%) and sej (5.4%). Considerable genetic diversity was detected. The present study demonstrated a relatively high rate of tst (48.6%), eta (44.5%) and luk (31%) as well as the wide occurence of enterotoxin genes among colonizing S. aureus. The highest combination between positive mecA isolates and other virulence genes was found in mecA-seg (41.8%), mecA-sei (40.5%), and mecA-sea-seb-seg-sei (24.3%). Conclusions: These findings provide insight into the virulence genes of S. aureus nasal carriage among the HCWs and NHCWs in Gaza Strip.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread worldwide and poses a serious public health-threat. High IL-6 levels were associated with the severity of COVID-19 and del to the use of anti-IL-6 Tocilizumab during the pandemic. Therefore, this case-control study was conducted to evaluate the role of Tocilizumab on the mortality rate among severe and critically ill COVID-19 patients. Method: A case-control study relied on the use of an electronic data collection sheet; the data were collected from February to May 2022. The study was performed on adult patients with critical COVID-19 at three major hospitals in the Gaza Strip, Palestine where patients were treated in the intensive care units (ICUs). Patients from the hospitals were included and divided into two groups by simple random sampling technique. Results: Of the 202 patients with critical COVID-19 admitted to ICUs of three hospitals, 102 (50.5%) were treated with Tocilizumab. A total of 58 (56.9%) patients in the Tocilizumab group were cured, and 44 (43.1%) died. In the control group, only 26 (26.0%) were cured and 72.0% died. There was no statistically significant effect of Tocilizumab on total hospital stay and ventilation periods. Patients treated with Tocilizumab had a longer stay in the ICU (14.02 ±8.796 days compared to 10.52 ± 9.596 days in the control group, P = 0.027), but shorter incubation periods were observed in the same group (3.25 ±1.137 days in Tocilizumab group compared to 7.38 ±3.376 days in the control group P = 0.036). Conclusion: This study found that administration of Tocilizumab can improve clinical outcomes, reduce risk of mortality, and frequency of intubation in patients severely infected with COVID-19. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of hospitalization times and mechanical ventilation needs. Based on the current report, healthcare specialists should consider Tocilizumab with the updated treatment guidelines for critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: This research was conducted to process untreated leachate using plants in artificial wetlands. The aim was to obtain plant selection criteria based on the relative growth rate (RGR) and removal efficiency (Re) of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Methods: The methodology used leachate containing about 1,000 mg/L and 5,000 mg/L BOD and COD, respectively. Three plants, Typha angustifolia, Cyperus papyrus, and Canna indica, were tested. The research stages included a range finding test for 14 days and definitive leachate experiments for the three plants for 36 days. Results: The results revealed that three types of plants could process leachate without treatment for 36 days after acclimatization (DAA). The determining period was 0-12 DAA with a decrease in BOD and COD concentrations in the range of 40-60% and an increase in the ratio of BOD/COD, which expresses increased leachate biodegradability. The following 24 days showed a decrease in the BOD/COD ratio and a constant decrease in the concentration of both parameters as an indicator of the stability of leachate quality. This pattern was followed by plant growth performance and showed the order of priority for C. papyrus, C. indica, and T. angustifolia. Conclusions: There was an adequate leachate detention time when BOD and COD decreased to a maximum. The response time of plants in reducing the concentration of substances was a new approach to plant selection.
Incorporating the Plant Disease Triangle Framework for Analyzing the Effect of FWB Incidence on Soil Attributes
Authors:   Faculty of Agro-Based Industry Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Malaysia, Muhammad Marinah , Mohd Zawawi Muhammad Akmal , Naim Jemali Noor Janatun
Published: March 2023

FWB (FWB), also known as Panama disease and caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is the most destructive disease in the banana industry. Foc is the most virulent pathogen and is capable of surviving in agricultural soil for an indefinite period. The complex interaction between Foc, bananas, and the environment has restricted efforts to develop FWB prevention and control. Thus, it is essential to investigate all dimensions of the interactions relating to the occurrence of FWB in plantations. The purpose of this preliminary study was to assess the reversed interaction of soil attributes and FWB. The relationships between Fusarium wilt disease incidence and soil characteristics were analyzed using a forward linear regression analysis with dummy variables. Age, as well as shrubs and weeds, were incorporated as dummy variables. The first model of forward linear regression with soil moisture as the dependent variable significantly revealed that R2 is larger and more strongly correlated when plant conditions and banana tree age variables are included in the model (p = 0.0). Still, a comprehensive experimental approach is required for better understanding since an increasing human population in the future may pose a threat to food security.

تستمد الدراسة الحالية أهميتها من منطلق أن البيانات بشكل عام تعد عنصرًا مهمًّا في كل مؤسسة، وركيزة أساسية في اتخاذ القرارات، بالإضافة إلى الدور الذي يقوم به كلٌّ من البعد التنظيمي والتكنولوجي والإداري في تحسين جودة البيانات الرئيسة. وتهدف الدراسة إلى التعرف على الأبعاد الثلاثة (الإدارية – التقنية – البشرية) التي تؤثر في نضج إدارة البيانات الرئيسة في المؤسسات الحكومية بشكل عام، ووزارة النقل والخدمات اللوجستية بشكل خاص، وبناء على ذلك اعتمدت الدراسة على منهج تحليل المحتوى لتحليل الإنتاج الفكري المنشور، كما اعتمدت الدراسة على منهج دراسة الحالة بغرض الوصول إلى فهم أعمق عن مدى نضج إدارة البيانات الرئيسة في وزارة النقل والخدمات اللوجستية في المملكة العربية السعودية، واستطاعت الدراسة وضع نموذج مقترح لما ينبغي أخذه بعين الاعتبار، سواء من الباحثين عند تصميم حلول مماثلة، أو من المسؤولين عند التخطيط لتطويع إدارة البيانات الرئيسة في مؤسساتهم، بحيث تكون فعالة للغاية.

أهم ما توصلت إليه الدراسة: تبنت الوزارة واجهة رسمية معتمدة لتبادل البيانات داخل مختلف الإدارات في الوزارة بشكل منظم يُسهل الحصول على البيانات عند الحاجة إليها. وتفحص الوزارة قواعد البيانات لديها باستمرار لتحسين أداء الأعمال وكفاءته، كما تخزن البيانات بطريقة فعّالة تُمكنها من الاستفادة من تلك البيانات للتنبؤ والتحليل لاتخاذ القرارات. كما تفتقر الوزارة إلى وجود مستودع مركزي يسهل الوصول إلى البيانات الرئيسة المشتركة في مختلف الإدارات العامة.

وخرجت الدراسة بوضع نموذج مقترح لإدارة البيانات الرئيسة في وزارة النقل والخدمات اللوجستية، وقدمت مجموعة من التوصيات، أهمها: الحرص على وجود نظام مقياس معياري لتقويم جودة البيانات لدى الوزارة لضمان استمرار جودتها. وضرورة استحداث مستودع مركزي لتخزين البيانات الرئيسة وبثها عبر مختلف الإدارات، وتسهيل وصول الموظفين إليها لأداء الأعمال.

ملخص

هدفتِ الدراسة إلى التعرف على سلوك المُجتمع العُمَاني في التعامل مع المعلومات الخاطئة المتداولة على منصات التواصل الاجتماعي أثناء جائحة كورونا، وتأثيرها على استجابة الحكومة للجائحة. اعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج المسحي الكَمِّي، وتم جمع بياناتها بواسطة استبانة مُحكمة. تم اختيار 15 مجموعة في تطبيق الواتساب مرتبطة بمجالات وموضوعات متنوعة لتمثل عينة الدراسة؛ وقد وُضع في الاعتبار التنوع الجغرافي والموضوعي والنوعي للمجموعات. وزعتِ الاستبانة إلكترونياً من فبراير 2022م إلى نهاية إبريل 2022م، واسترجع حوالي 1036 استبياناً صالحاً. توصلتِ الدراسة إلى أن المبحوثين على مستوى وعي كبير بالمعلومات الخاطئة والتقنيات الخاصة بكشفها والتعامل معها. كما أن متابعة المصادر الموثوق بها للحصول على المعلومات حول الجائحة كان سلوكاً ملازماً للمبحوثين؛ مما خفف من تأثير المعلومات الخاطئة التي انتشرت في مختلف منصات التواصل الاجتماعي فى عُمَان. كما كشفتِ الدراسة عن الأضرار التي قد تسببها المعلومات الخاطئة للمجتمع العُمَاني، ومنها ضعف القدرة على اتخاذ القرارات الصَّحِيحَة، وتأثيرها النفسي السلبي. وقد أوضحت النتائج أن الشبكات الاجتماعية مثلت مصدراً مُهِمّاً للمعلومات لدى عينة الدراسة، تم الاعتماد عليه بشكل مكثف للحصول على معلومات متنوعة تخص الجائحة، بل اعتمد عدد من عينة الدراسة عليها في اتخاذ قرارات صِحِّيَّة مُهِمَّة. وقد خَلَصَتِ الدراسة بأن كلاً من الأفراد والحكومة قد قاموا بدور إيجابي في التعامل مع المعلومات الخاطئة التي انتشرت بقصد أو بدون قصد في منصات التواصل الاجتماعي، لكن ما زالت هناك حاجة إلى مزيد من الجهد في التوعية بخطورة المعلومات الخاطئة، واستخدام أساليب مبتكرة في محاربة ذلك النوع من المعلومات.

Once one of the predominant reef-building corals in the region,Acropora cervicornisis now a focal species of coral restoration efforts in Florida and the western Caribbean. Scientists and restoration practitioners have been independently collecting phenotypic data on genets ofA. cervicornisgrown in restoration nurseries. While these data are important for understanding the intraspecific response to varying environmental conditions, and thus the potential genetic contribution to phenotypic variation, in isolation these observations are of limited use for large-scale, multi- institution restoration efforts that are becoming increasingly necessary. Here, we present theAcropora cervicornisData Coordination Hub, a web-accessible relational database to align disparate datasets to compare genet-specific performance. In this data descriptor, we release data for 248 genets evaluated across 38 separate traits. We present a framework to align datasets with the ultimate goal of facilitating informed, data-driven restoration throughout the Caribbean.

The study was aimed at evaluating the performance of Nigeria’s Electric Power System before and during Privatization using Akure 33kV distribution Network as a case study. This is done to ascertain the effectiveness of the Privatization programme that occurred in the Electric Power Sector in Nigeria. The amount of energy served, the peak load supplied and load flow data of the Network for periods of 2010 to 2015 were collated from the daily log entry recording sheets of the 132/33kV transmission substation office in Akure. The percentage transformer loading and power transferred across the line were determined through load flow studies. The cost of energy not served due to faults was evaluated at a rate of NGN 24.30k per Kilo-Watt Hour (KWHr). The analysis was for a period of pre-privatization (2010-2012) and post-privatization (2013-2015). The results from the study indicate that the energy served decreased by 9% from 2010 to 2015 while the cost of energy not supplied increased largely after the Privatization. A decreasing rate in peak load supplied and transformer loadings were also observed during the Privatization. These results show that less customers might have been served or customers being served by this utility system experienced power outages more frequently in the post-privatization period than in the pre-privatization era.

Ikorodu Lighter Terminal is an important lagoon port in Lagos, Nigeria. However, the intense anthropogenic activities that take place around the port could potentially pollute the water. This study assessed the safety of human exposure to the water around the port. Samples of the water were assayed for physicochemical parameters, namely: electrical conductivity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, turbidity, hardness, calcium, chloride, sulphate, nitrite, and phosphate. Moreover, heavy metals, including lead, manganese, copper, cadmium, nickel, and chromium, were analyzed, and their values were used to estimate potential health risks. Also assayed was the presence of microorganisms. The water samples had non-permissible levels of nitrite, oil and grease, and BOD. The concentrations of the heavy metals as well as their average daily ingestion and average daily dermal exposure were within the tolerable limits, except Ni. However, their hazard quotient and carcinogenic risk via ingestion and dermal contact exceeded the tolerable limits. Safe levels of bacteria, coliforms, and fungi were detected in the water. Based on these results, the water may expose users to health hazards. There is a need for policies geared towards the safety of human exposure to the water.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the students' inherent knowledge or remaining knowledge after learning (retention) in different timescales in Economics after learning. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 6 Tondano. The factor studied was student retention. The research data were taken from the results of the retention tests carried out. The first test is 1 week after learning, the second test is 2 weeks after learning and the third test is 4 after learning for the first topic, the second and third topics. This research is a descriptive research. Describe the results of the first, second and third retention tests on each learning topic. the data on the results of the first, second and third tests on the first topic of the average number decreased as well as on the second topic the results of the first test until the third test decreased. The same thing also happened to the third topic with the results of the first, second and third tests decreasing. an increase in retention test results has an increase in the value of an increase in retention test results from the first topic, the second topic and the third topic. So it can be said that regular tests with this pattern can increase student retention.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare neoplasm responsible for 0.04% to 0.5% of all cases of breast disease. It occurs in patients with a previous history of breast implants that generally progress without complications during the first years of post-operatory and is mainly associated with macro-textured implants. Due to its low incidence, it does not represent the first probable diagnosis in patients with a breast tumor. This article reports the case of a patient with BIA-ALCL initially treated as a Hodgkin's lymphoma. We emphasize the importance of a correct and complete diagnosis by immunohistochemistry before imaging in patients that develop a breast tumor associated with the prosthetic capsule after breast implant surgery and its adequate treatment, including surgery.
