Authors: Faradifa Nurul , Takidah Erika , Ulupui I Gusti Ketut Agung
Published: October 2024

A good performance description of Sharia insurance companies is reflected in their asset growth rate; when the generated percentage increases, it represents the company's optimal performance in managing participants' funds, thereby enhancing public trust and encouraging more people to register as Sharia insurance participants. This study aims to examine the relationship between Insurance Claims, Profitability, and Operational Expenses on Asset Growth by involving 27 Sharia insurance companies registered with the Financial Services Authority from 2018 to 2022 as research samples. The sample was drawn using the Purposive Sampling technique and quantitative methods with secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of each Sharia insurance company's website. The partial results show that claims and operational expenses have a significant negative impact on asset growth; the higher the claims and operational expenses, the lower the asset growth. Profitability, however, does not affect asset growth because the profitability generated is not optimal, thus not increasing the company's assets. Simultaneously, claims, profitability, and operational expenses have a significant positive effect on asset growth, with a determination coefficient of 40.09%, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. Therefore, this study adds value by validating the measurement of asset growth in Sharia insurance.

Deconstructing Class Struggle and Gender Oppression: A Post-Structuralist Analysis of Jamal Abro's Pirani and Naseem Kharal's Thirty-Four Gates through Barthes' Five Codes
Authors: Malik Zainab Bibi
Published: October 2024

This study applies post-structuralist theory to analyze Jamal Abro’s Pirani and Naseem Kharal’s Thirty-Four Gates, focusing on how both stories portray class struggle and gender oppression within Sindhi society. Using Roland Barthes' five codes—hermeneutic, proairetic, semantic, symbolic, and cultural—the research uncovers multiple layers of meaning, interpreting the symbols, tensions, and ambiguities that reflect the socio-political realities of a male-dominated, feudal, and capitalist system. By employing a qualitative textual analysis, this research explores how Barthes' codes allow for the deconstruction of dominant narratives, revealing the complexities of class exploitation and cultural repression. The findings suggest that both authors critically condemn anti-women traditions and expose the systematic subjugation of women, who are rendered voiceless in a patriarchal society. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of Sindhi literature, translated into English and published by Oxford University Press, by engaging with the socio-political and cultural discourses embedded in the texts.

Authors: Yokota Takeru , Ejiri Soichi , Sasaki Nobuyuki , Akiyama Yuto , Toshiki Narihiro , Kameda Takuya , Matsumoto Yoshihiro
Published: October 2024

Background:

Age is a preoperative prognostic factor for radial closing wedge osteotomy (RCWO) in Kienbock disease. Specifically, for cases classified as Lichtman stage III, clear criteria for selecting RCWO have not been established. We believe that age can provide vital information for determining the appropriate surgical procedure for Kienbock disease. The aim of this study was to investigate RCWO outcomes for Lichtman stage III by examining different age groups from clinical and radiological perspectives.

Methods:

Sixteen patients with Lichtman stage III Kienbock disease underwent RCWO. The median age was 59 years, and the median follow-up period was 2.9 years. We determined the age cutoffs for clinical and radiological outcomes using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Subsequently, we conducted intergroup comparisons of postoperative outcomes between the younger and older age groups.

Results:

Age cutoffs were established at 52.5 and 30 years for clinical and radiological outcomes, respectively. In the comparative analysis, the younger age group (≤52 years; n = 7) demonstrated significantly superior clinical results, including improved range of motion and pain relief, higher postoperative Mayo Wrist Score, and lower Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores. From a radiological perspective, the younger age group (≤30 years; n = 3) experienced segmented lunate bone fragments healing, indicating an improved disease stage compared with the older group.

Conclusion:

Based on previous literature and our research findings, it is reasonable to conclude that RCWO results in improved clinical outcomes for patients up to their mid-50s and enhanced radiological outcomes for those up to approximately at the age of 30 years. Further studies on these age cutoffs will contribute to refining the surgical selection criteria for RCWO.

Published: October 2024

Negotiations by police agencies are activities to resolve situations through dialogue and compromise rather than physical forces such as forced suppression in various crisis situations. Police negotiations have been developed in the United States since the 1970s as the need for measures to minimize sacrifices in crisis situations was raised after unsuccessful outcomes following suppression-centered operations in the process of resolving terrorism and various hostage situations.
The Republic of Korea operated a negotiation team as one of the dedicated organizations for responding to the 1988 Seoul Olympics terrorist threats, and the negotiation team was cultivated in the National Police Agency. The Korean police negotiation team has been expanded and evolved from anti-terrorism negotiations to crisis negotiations in response to changing domestic security environment and is actively operating in crisis situations such as various crimes and suicide.
Negotiations by the military police has been mainly focused on countering terrorism and their approaches and tactics in various military crisis situations have not been discussed so far.
This study was conducted for the purpose of diagnosing problems of the military police negotiation team by analyzing its operation status and deriving a development plan. In particular, by clarifying the types of military police negotiations, it was intended to establish a foundation for differentiating negotiation techniques that are applicable not only in response to terrorism but also in various military-related crisis situations.
The Effect of Job Stress of the Cheongwon Police on Turnover Intention: Focusing on LMX(Leader Member Exchange Theory)
Authors:   Korean Association of Public Safety and Criminal Justice, Cho Sang Hyun
Published: October 2024

This study attempted to determine how job stress generated by the cheongwon police's job affects the intention to turnover. The cheongwon police are highly stressed about their duties due to the response of malicious complaints such as verbal abuse and intimidation of public officials, verbal abuse and assault on civil petitioners, and shift work. This job stress of cheongwon police officers can lead to job change. It was found that job stress affects turnover intention not only in them but also in various occupations. However, this study sought to empirically verify the moderating effect of LMX on job stress and turnover intention. LMX explains the effectiveness of leadership through the interaction of the relationship between superiors and subordinates. It is explained that when the quality of LMX is high, turnover intention toward the organization decreases due to identification with the organization and commitment to the organization.
To achieve the purpose of this study, a survey was conducted targeting police officers working in the northern Gyeonggi region and Incheon. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that their job stress had an effect on their turnover intention. And the moderating effect of LMX on job stress and turnover intention, which is the main purpose of this study, was confirmed to have a partial effect. In other words, emotional bond and dedication were confirmed to have an effect on turnover intention in cheongwon police officers' job stress, and it was confirmed that desire to contribute and respect for professionalism were not statistically significant in their job stress and turnover intention. Based on these analysis results, policy suggestions were made regarding the their LMX.

Multi-locus investigation of Anopheles-mediated selective pressure on Plasmodium falciparum in Africa
Authors: Gunarathna Isuru , Spear Joseph D. , Carter Tamar E.
Published: October 2024

Background: The high burden of malaria in Africa is largely due to the presence of competent and adapted Anopheles vector species. With invasive Anopheles stephensi implicated in malaria outbreaks in Africa, understanding the genomic basis of vector-parasite compatibility is essential for assessing the risk of future outbreaks due to this mosquito. Vector compatibility with P. falciparum arises from ancient coevolution and involves genes like Pfs47 in P. falciparum and P47Rec in Anopheles. Questions remain about whether sub-continental vector variation is a selective pressure on current Plasmodium populations or not.
Methods: We analyzed the genetic diversity in parasite-vector interaction genes in P. falciparum and An. gambiae from 9 and 15 countries in Africa, respectively. Specifically, we looked for evidence of malaria vector-mediated selection within three P. falciparum genes (Pfs47, Pfs16, Pfs37) and conducted association analyses with occurrence probabilities of prominent malaria vectors (VOP).
Results: Higher protein haplotype diversities of Pfs47 and Pfs16 were associated with the probability of occurrence of An. arabiensis and An. funestus together. Only Pfs16 carried a signature of positive selection consistently (average Tajima’s D = -2.96) which was associated with the probability of occurrence of An. funestus. These findings support vector-mediated selection based on vector species diversity may be occurring within Africa. We also employed phylogenetic analyses of An. gambiae interaction genes (P47Rec, APN1, HPX15) to identify significant subspecies diversity as a prerequisite to vector-population-mediated selection. An. gambiae HPX15 revealed significant sub-species differentiation (multiple branches bootstrap >70) compared to absence of variation in P47Rec, suggesting further investigation into sub-species mediated selection based on HPX15 is needed. Finally, we observed five amino acid changes at P47Rec in invasive An. stephensi compared to dominant African Anophelesspecies, calling for further investigation of the impact these distinct P47Rec variants would have on local African P. falciparum Pfs47 diversity.
Conclusion: Overall, these findings support the notion that vector variation within Africa could influence P. falciparumdiversity and lay a genomic framework for future investigation of invasive An. stephensi's impact on African malaria.
