[APPROACHES AND ROLE OF DAKWAH AL-AZHAR GRADUATE THROUGH INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION AL-AZHAR GRADUATE IN RIAU (OIAA RIAU) IN SPREADING ISLAMIC DAKWAH IN RIAU: AN INITIAL REVIEW]
Authors: M. Kafrawi  , Riyaldi Rino
Published: November 2021

This article discusses the role of dakwah of the al-Azhar graduates of Egypt through the International Organization Al-Azhar Graduate in Riau (OIAA) in spreading Islamic dakwah in Riau, using descriptive and Islahi ijtima'i methods. In this study, the author finds that the use approach wasatiah, that is, trying to be an intermediary in a community problem so that it can be an improvement of society in a direction that can accept differences of opinion (Islahi ijtima'i). This study proves that some graduates of al-Azhar, Egypt, namely Musthafa Umar and Abdul Somad became scholars who are popular with the people, do not hold a single proposition of scholars or certain hadith, but try to present many propositions and hadiths to the community, so the community is told to choose propositions appropriate to their respective abilities. So the role of graduation in preaching is very important to understand the community in worship and dealing..

Tulisan ini membahas tentang peranan dakwah para alumni al-Azhar Mesir melalui  organisasi international alumi al-Azhar Riau (OIAA) dalam menyebarkan dakwah Islam di Riau, dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif dan Islahi ijtima’i. dalam kajian ini penulis mendapati bahawa para alumni berdakwah menggunakan pendekatan wasatiah iaitu berusaha menjadi pemudah cara dalam sebuah permasalahan masyarakat sehingga boleh menjadi perbaikan masyarakat ke arah yang boleh menerima perbezaan pendapat (Islahi ijtima’i). Kajian ini ini membuktikan bahawa salah seorang alumni al-Azhar Mesir iaitu Musthafa Umar dan Abdul Somad menjadi ulama yang disenangi masyarakat, tidak memegang satu dalil pendapat ulama atau hadis tertentu akan tetapi berusaha menyajikan dalil dan hadis yang banyak kepada masyarakat, serta menyerahkan kepada mereka untuk memilih dalil yang sesuai dengan kemampuan masing-masing. Justeru peranan Alumni dalam berdakwah sangat penting untuk memahami masyarakat dalam beribadah dan bermuamalah.
The Apparent Metabolisable Energy Values of Palm Kernel Cake as Influenced by Enzymes and Cocktails
Authors: Jimoh Abdulhameed , Atteh Job Olutimehin
Published: November 2021

This study was conducted to quantify the effects of enzymes and their cocktails on the apparent metabolisable energy (AME) value of palm kernel cake to maximise enzymes’ advantages. There were eight treatments, each with three replicates in a completely randomised design with T1 as control. The experimental treatments had Xylanase, Multipurpose and phytase enzymes respectively for T2, T3 and T4, and a cocktail of xylanase and multipurpose, a cocktail of xylanase and phytase, cocktail of multipurpose and phytase, and cocktail of xylanase, multipurpose and phytase for T5, T6, T7 and T8. The feeding trial was done using the intubation method. Gross energy values were determined with calorimeter while calculated AME values were subjected to analysis of variance using Statistical Analysis System and treatment means separated by Duncan Multiple Range Test. Results show that individual enzymes, apart from phytase, significantly (p>0.05) improved the AME value of palm kernel cake. Treatment T8 was significantly (p>0.05) better than the other treatments. Each cocktail was significantly better than its respective individual enzymes except cocktail of multipurpose enzyme and phytase that was not significantly different from multipurpose enzyme but significantly (p>0.05) better than phytase. It was concluded that enzymes and cocktail of enzymes could be used to enhance the energy content of nonconventional feedstuffs thereby serving as a replacement to conventional energy feedstuffs.

Published: November 2021

In the study of the environmental effect of biogas production, it is essential to identify the main constituents of the biogas with a special interest biogas process system. This paper reviews the formation processes of biogas production. In this paper, the roles of biogas application were discussed to make them more suitable to the environment and human activities. Furthermore, questions related to the disposal and management of wastes which leads to serious environmental and global concerns were addressed. Although these wastes offer abundant resources: large proportions of the wastes are biodegradable materials and can be efficiently used in producing biogas, which can serve as an answer to the greenhouse gas problem but also inappropriate controlling of the wastes will lead to the rise of greenhouse gas in the environment.
Targeted therapy of multiple myeloma
Authors: Zhou Shan , Wang Renxi
Published: November 2021

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant proliferative disease of monoclonal plasma cells (PCs) and is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of PCs and excessive production of specific types of immunoglobulins. Since PCs are terminally differentiated B cells, the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies MM as lymphoproliferative B-cell disease. The incidence of MM is 6-7 cases per 100,000 people in the world every year and the second most common cancer in the blood system. Due to the effects of drug resistance and malignant regeneration of MM cells in the microenvironment, all current treatment methods can prolong both overall and symptom-free survival rates of patients with MM but cannot cure MM. Both basic and clinical studies have proven that targeted therapy leads to a clear and significant prolongation of the survival of patients with MM, but when the disease recurs again, resistance to the previous treatment will occur. Therefore, the discovery of new targets and treatment methods plays a vital role in the treatment of MM. This article introduces and summarizes targeted MM therapy, potential new targets, and future precision medicine in MM.

How Do Defaults Affect Behavior of Individual Retirement: Evidence from Ankara
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Fahriye , SERİM Havva
Published: November 2021

Turkey is one of the few countries that has introduced national-level automatic enrollment in private pension systems to encourage people to save for retirement. Although the policy's effectiveness is debatable, it is fair to conclude that it has accelerated enrolment in individual pension plans. This is due to the fact that defaults have a significant impact on saving behavior. However, there are few empirical data that explain how defaults operate. To find out, we created a survey for Ankara public employees in order to explore possible demographic, financial, and behavioral constructs for automatic enrollment choices. Gender, marital status, and the number of dependents in the family all have an impact on the decisions. Other noteworthy findings concern behavioral constructs: Ankara public employees who find individual pension systems complex are more likely to opt out, and the public authority endorsement effect greatly reduces the risk of quitting the system. These findings show that there is a need for more educational and informational efforts on the pension system, and that policymakers have a significant amount of responsibility as a result of this strategy.

Published: November 2021

Enerji hem gelişmiş ülkeler hem de gelişmekte olan ve az gelişmiş ülkeler açısından büyük önem arz eden bir kavramdır. Özellikle Türkiye gibi gelişmekte olan ülkelerin yüksek ekonomik büyüme trendi yakalayabilmesi için gerekli olan en temel faktör diyebiliriz. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı enerji tüketimi ile finansal gelişmişlik, gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla ve doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Çalışmada Türkiye’nin 1970-2015 dönemini kapsayan veri seti kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada yapısal kırılmayı dikkate alan birim kök ve eşbütünleşme testleri ile birlikte Toda ve Yamamoto nedensellik testi kullanılmıştır. Ardından değişkenlerin durağanlık düzeylerinin ve değişkenler arası uzun dönem ilişkinin önemli olmadığı nedensellik testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, finansal gelişmişliğin enerji tüketimini, gayri safi yurtiçi hasılayı ve doğrudan yabancı yatırımları etkilediği sonucu elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca enerji tüketiminin ve gayri safi yurtiçi hasılanın doğrudan yabancı yatırımları etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar politika yapıcılara finansal gelişmişliğin iyileştirilmesine yönelik atılacak adımların diğer sektörleri de olumlu yönde etkileyeceği bilgisini vermektedir.
Is Per Capita Real GDP Stationary in G-7 Countries? New Evidence from A Fourier Panel Unit Root Test
Authors: HACIİMAMOĞLU Tunahan
Published: November 2021

The stability of macroeconomic variables and whether the impact of a shock on these variables is permanent or temporary is important for policy-makers and researchers. As an indicator of growth and prosperity, gross domestic product (GDP) is among the important macroeconomic variables. After all, due to the advantages of current panel data analysis techniques over conventional methods, it is important to use the aforementioned methods in analyzing the existence of unit-root for GDP. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to investigate whether per capita real GDP in G-7 countries followed a stationary process between 1970-2019 with a stronger unit-root test (BCIPS) that takes into consideration cross-section dependence, multi-factor structure, and structural changes. Empirical results reveal that per capita real GDP for G-7 countries has a stationary structure. In this context, it has been determined that the impact of a shock on per capita real GDP is temporary in G-7 countries, therefore, by means of monetary or fiscal policy instruments, it is not necessary to intervene in fluctuations occurring the output level.
Policy responses to shocks and monetary effectiveness under inflation targeting: The Philippine case
Authors: Debuque-Gonzales Margarita
Published: November 2021

This article examines how monetary policy responses to economic shocks and monetary policy effectiveness have changed in the Philippines since inflation targeting was implemented in 2002. The study makes use of a structural vector autoregression to estimate financial and monetary policy shocks, among other shocks, based on an identification strategy similar to Gilchrist and Zakrajsek [2012] and Bassetto et al. [2016]. A Philippine financial conditions index (FCI) purged of monetary influences then decomposed according to instrument or market is used to aid estimation and analysis. Results of the recursive vector autoregressions (VAR) comparing pre-inflation-targeting and inflation-targeting periods reveal stronger and more systematic policy responses to non-financial demand shocks, partial and transitory accommodation of supply shocks, and greater exchange rate flexibility initially under the new monetary policy regime. There is, however, an observed weakening of monetary policy responses to financial disturbances and monetary policy transmission to growth likely related to episodes of strong capital inflows.
Morphological, Histological Changes and Acetyl Cholinesterase Activity in Chicken Embryos After Exposure to Abamectin Insecticide
Authors: Taha Banan , Mohammed Rabeea
Published: November 2021

Abamectin is a bio-insecticide, derived from the soil bacteria Streptomyces avermitilis. This insecticide is used in public health and agriculture to protect crops. Major adverse impacts of Abamectin are neurological symptoms acting on the peripheral nervous system. The aim of the current study is to reveal the toxic effects of Abamectin on chick embryo Ross 308 including morphological and histological changes and acetyl cholinesterase activity. 120 fresh fertilized eggs were divided into 6 groups; two of them were used as control. After 2 days of incubation, the eggs were injected with 100 µL of Abamectin solution (diluted at concentrations 360, 540, 900 and 1800 ppm) into the yolk sac. The Results showed that the mortality increased significantly in chicks treated with Abamectin, but had a lower weight in comparison to the control groups. Treated chicks started hatching at day 22 but were physically weak with drooping limbs, paralysis and then died after 24 hours of hatching. Some chicks did not normally hatch and needed assistance. They characterized by limb defects, failure retraction of yolk sac with bleeding. Histological examination of the liver showed hepatic cell degeneration, congestion in the central vein, infiltration of inflammatory cells and hepatocytes necrosis. Furthermore, the Acetyl cholinesterase enzyme analysis showed a significant decrease in the enzyme activity which leads to inhibition the activity of the body systems. It is concluded that low and high concentration of Abamectin has adverse impacts on chick embryo by changing some of morphological, histological characteristics and acetyl cholinesterase activity.

The Nature of Hi-absorption-selected Galaxies at z ≈ 4
Authors: Kaur B. , Kanekar N. , Rafelski M. , Neeleman M. , Revalski M. , Prochaska J. X.
Published: November 2021

We report a Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) search for redshifted CO(1–0) or CO(2–1) emission, and a Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 (HST-WFC3) search for rest-frame near-ultraviolet (NUV) stellar emission, from seven Hi-selected galaxies associated with high-metallicity ([M/H] ≥ −1.3) damped Lyα absorbers (DLAs) at z ≈ 4. The galaxies were earlier identified by Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array imaging of their [Cii] 158 μm emission. We also used the JVLA to search for CO(2–1) emission from the field of a low-metallicity ([M/H] = −2.47) DLA at z ≈ 4.8. No statistically significant CO emission is detected from any of the galaxies, yielding upper limits of M
mol < (7.4–17.9) × 1010 × (α
CO/4.36) M
⊙ on their molecular gas mass. We detect rest-frame NUV emission from four of the seven [Cii] 158 μm-emitting galaxies, the first detections of the stellar continuum from Hi-selected galaxies at z ≳ 4. The HST-WFC3 images yield typical sizes of the stellar continua of ≈2–4 kpc and inferred dust-unobscured star formation rates (SFRs) of ≈5.0–17.5 M
⊙ yr−1, consistent with, or slightly lower than, the total SFRs estimated from the far-infrared (FIR) luminosity. We further stacked the CO(2–1) emission signals of six [Cii] 158 μm-emitting galaxies in the image plane. Our non-detection of CO(2–1) emission in the stacked image yields the limit M
mol < 4.1 × 1010 × (α
CO/4.36) M
⊙ on the average molecular gas mass of the six galaxies. Our molecular gas mass estimates and NUV SFR estimates in Hi-selected galaxies at z ≈ 4 are consistent with those of main-sequence galaxies with similar [Cii] 158 μm and FIR luminosities at similar redshifts. However, the NUV emission in the Hi-selected galaxies appears more extended than that in main-sequence galaxies at similar redshifts.
The Effect of Environment on Star Formation Activity and Morphology at 0.5 < z < 2.5 in CANDELS
Authors: Gu Yizhou , Fang Guanwen , Yuan Qirong , Lu Shiying , Liu Shuang
Published: November 2021

To explore the effect of environment on star formation and the morphological transformation of high-redshift galaxies, we present a robust estimation of localized galaxy overdensity using a density estimator within the Bayesian probability framework. The maps of environmental overdensity at 0.5 < z < 2.5 are constructed for the five CANDELS fields. In general, the quiescent fraction increases with overdensity and stellar mass. Stellar mass dominates the star formation quenching for massive galaxies, while environmental quenching tends to be more effective for the low-mass galaxies at 0.5 < z < 1. For the most massive galaxies (M
* > 1010.8
M
⊙), the effect of environmental quenching is still significant up to z ∼ 2.5. No significant environmental dependence is found in the distributions of Sérsic index and effective radius for SFGs and QGs separately. The primary role of environment might be to control the quiescent fraction. And the morphological parameters are primarily connected with star formation status. The similarity in the trends of quiescent fraction and Sérsic index along with stellar mass indicates that morphological transformation is accompanied by star formation quenching.

Published: November 2021

This study reveals the effect of aerosols and water vapor on downward longwave radiation in the high mountain region of Musala peak, Bulgaria. The investigated period is 01/01/2017 (Jan. 1st 2017) – 30/09/2019 (Sep. 30th 2019). Statistical methods are the main tool for discovering the relationships between the different elements. The results indicate that air temperature is the leading factor for downward longwave radiation, specific humidity, and amount of aerosols in the air. That is why, in order to reveal the pure relationship between downward longwave radiation, specific humidity and amount of aerosols in the atmosphere, the air temperature was cleared from the data series. After this procedure, the results show that specific humidity has a significant influence on the downward longwave radiation flux, and an increase of 1% of the specific humidity results in an increase of about 12-15% in the values   of the downward longwave radiation. At air temperatures around 0ºC the influence of water vapor on the downward longwave flux is highest, which is due to the phase transitions of the water – a process during which release/absorption of radiation in the longwave spectrum occurs. The amount of aerosols in the atmosphere also has a significant effect on this type of radiation, and an increase of 1% of the amount of aerosols in the air at air temperatures above –5.5°C results in an increase of the downward longwave radiation of about 2-4%. The findings of this study show that coarser and opaque aerosol particles have a stronger effect on downward longwave radiation. In the area of Musala peak, as the air temperature rises, there is an increase in the amount of aerosols in the air, a decrease in their size, and a transition from transparent to opaque aerosols. The combination of these different tendencies causes the influence of aerosols on downward longwave radiation to be strongest in the middle temperature interval – air temperatures between –5.5°C and +5.5°C. Due to the increased total amount of aerosols and increased amount of opaque aerosols, their influence on downward longwave radiation is significant also at air temperatures above 5.5°C.
Cocurricular Clinical Opportunity: Addressing Student Attitudes, Knowledge, and Skills With Disability Education
Authors: Edwards Allison P.
Published: November 2021

Background:

Multiple organizations have urged inclusion of disability content in health care professional's education and training. Few nursing schools in the United States have adopted dedicated disability curricula nor studied its impact on attitudes, knowledge, and skills of disability education. Evidence suggests that inadequate education contributes to health care disparities and unmet needs of people with disabilities.

Method:

A 2-hour cocurricular clinical experience was developed, using established competencies, and offered to senior nursing students. Students participated in multimodal experiences, with an emphasis on clinical exposure in various facilities serving children and adults with disabilities.

Results:

Five cohorts of students (
N
= 34) participated in the fellowship. Data illustrate the strong need to continue and require the curricula.

Conclusion:

Faculty should develop disability education secondary to population prevalence and in accordance with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing's essential competencies.

Gaining competitive advantage requires a detailed benchmark of performance against other market players, and profound gap analysis in comparison to the best practice applies to the audit of the digital presence (online footprint analysis), which, based on scripting codes, is done easily on its premises. SEO software and social medial listening tools allow for a comprehensive understanding of the digital performance of the company. Unfortunately, some businesses underestimate the potential dormant in different types of live analytics and performance trackers and being unaware of the analysis capacity to be performed on competitors and market leaders completely off cost. The case presents a study of a digital footprint template analysis performed for Amazon in the United Arab Emirates and shows the comparison with local and global market players like Noon.com, eBay, or Alibaba using software like SEMrush, SimilarWeb, and Brand24 to showcase how to leverage on gathered insights and gain competitive advantage.
The Adoption of a CRM Strategy Based on the Six-Dimensional Model
Authors: Santos José Duarte , Castelo José Pita
Published: November 2021

If the definition of CRM is not consensual, the model for incorporating or analyzing the concept within an organization is also not. In this chapter, considering the ‘Six-Dimensional Model CRM Strategy', which integrates 65 critical success factors, the authors analyze how these manifest themselves in an organization. Thus, the case studied is presented and described following the six dimensions (CRM strategy formulation, relational marketing philosophy, best practices, organizational and human resources, CRM processes, CRM technology) and also synthesizes in a table how the company analyzed reacted to critical success factors.
Institutional Policies and Online Education in Developing Countries
Authors: Nhatuve Diocleciano
Published: November 2021

This chapter aims to examine the effectiveness of institutional policies regarding online teaching and learning in some developing countries in the Southern African region. The study is informed by online teaching and learning principles, and it adopts qualitative and quantitative approaches. The data comprises answers of 231 students to the question: Did your institution encourage online learning before the lockdown? The sample was collected through a survey between the 1st July 2020 and the 11th March 2021, a period in which students were undertaking an online learning process as a strategy to overcome the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 67% of respondents confirm that their universities did not implement nor encourage online learning before the lockdown due to the pandemic. In this context, the study shows that aversive policies against online learning and lack of adequate equipment jeopardize the education goals to provide integrated and globalizing learning.
Metaphors and Methods
Authors: Barger Corinne
Published: November 2021

It is widely understood that the development of a teacher identity for individuals transitioning into teaching is important, and therefore substantial research has been produced looking at teacher identity development. Much of this research is conducted using the possible selves theory as its framework. Nevertheless, with the self and identity being widely interpreted concepts with no consentaneous definition, researchers lean on metaphorical language at times to semantically represent the meaning of the future selves. This chapter reviews contemporary literature, discussing how different metaphors used to talk about the self, influence the methodological choices made within the study. Different types of metaphors used led to a heavier emphasis on either the integrative, temporal, or dynamic nature of the possible selves theory.

Financial technology has emerged as a game-changer to complement and enhance how the Millennial and Generation Z conduct transactions. Responding to calls of prior research, this study used the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to understand how performance expectancy and effort expectancy factors influence consumers' intention to use financial technology. Performance expectancy (PE) and effort expectancy (EE) were investigated as exogenous variables towards the intention to use financial technology (FinTech) that act as endogenous variables in this study. The authors collected 284 Millennial and Generation Z respondents and analysed the data using PLS-SEM. The result from the study's structural model suggested that FinTech continuance use intention was dependent on performance expectancy and effort expectancy on engaging with young vibrant consumers and establishing attractive FinTech elements. In addition, Millennial and Generation Z consumers with a high-performance expectancy were found to emphasize FinTech components in the engagement process.

In recent years, the number of financial technology players and users have increased at a significant rate due to the rapid technological advancement in financial technology. While smart devices are providing more useful features to users, they have also made it possible for cyber threats to migrate from desktops to smart devices. Thus, it is important for smart device users to be aware that their device could be exposed to cyber threats and that users could protect their devices by employing data-centric cyber security measures. This study reveals how financial technology business model responded to the breach phenomenon by employing data-centric protection approaches. The result is very interesting. Data-centric security is very needed as it is capable of protecting data as a whole. It provides a gapless protection, meaning to say, the data are encrypted and classified wherever it moves. With persistent protection and cross-platform operability, data-centric security will eliminate gaps and keep data protected.

Reliable Energy-Aware Scheduling Algorithm With Multi-Level Budget for Real-Time Embedded System
Authors: Kumar Ajitesh , Gupta Sanjai Kumar
Published: November 2021

Energy consumption of embedded applications has rapidly increased with the advancement of technology and computing. There is a little improvement in energy consumption as compared to computing and storage capacity. Although computing performance has been continuously increasing, power/energy consumption is more critical in the design of real-time embedded systems. Real-time embedded applications need a power management technique to judicially balance the energy consumption and computing performance. It should be done in such a way that the system performance improves along with an increase in the lifespan of the system. The proposed methodology presented in this paper deals with the minimization of energy for time-critical embedded applications. Simulation studies, along with theoretical analysis, have been carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed three-phase reliable energy-aware scheduling method. It is observed that the proposed approach provides better tolerance (approximately four times) and consumes less energy (35% to 45%) for a wide range of applications.
