Sustainability Performance and Corporate Financial Stability of Shariah-Compliant Companies in Malaysia: The Moderating Effects of Ownership Concentration
Authors: Isa Mohamad Azwan Md , Ismail Norashikin , Kadri Mohd Halim
Published: November 2024

To date, sustainability performance (SUSP) has become a pivotal component that influences the corporate sectors viability, resilience and financial success in the long term. The SUSP, which portrays the corporate sectors’ engagement with the environment and community, has increasingly gained attention among the market regulators and business stakeholders especially since the launching of the UN’s SDGs Agenda in 2015. Strong SUSP contributes towards achievement of triple bottom lines (planet, people and profit) that ultimately leads to the realization of the UN’s 17 SDGs. However, there are conflicting conclusions on the relationship between SUSP and corporate financial stability (CFS) as evidenced by the previous studies. Therefore, this study attempts to examine the association between the SUSP (ESG scores) and the CFS (Altman’s z-score) using the samples of 77 Shariah-compliant public listed companies at Bursa Malaysia. In addition, this study looks into the moderating effects of ownership structure (ownership concentration) on the SUSP-CFS association. The study uses annual unbalanced panel data from 2018 to 2023 and uses the static panel analysis (fixed and random effects) to account for differences within and between companies. Although the results were not statistically significant, the finding reveals that the SUSP (ESG) is positively associated with the CFS. However, the positive association between the SUSP and CFS has weakened when there are ownership concentrations in the companies. The results imply that the corporate sectors’ commitment towards the issues related to the environment, society and governance pay off in terms of enhanced legitimacy and improved reputation, which consequently brings about the CFS. Nevertheless, the SUSP-CFS connection is deteriorated if the substantial shareholders do not approve or support the commitment towards the SUSP. The rational might be that the concentered ownerships have the belief the SUSP comes at the expense of decreased financial performance. This study has policy and managerial implications. The policy makers and regulators need to improve the ESG framework, which is still unclear and not standardized to be implemented by the corporate sectors. In addition, the government has to come up with robust ESG-related incentives to encourage the corporate sectors to undertake the SUSP. Meanwhile, the corporate sectors have to ensure clear sustainability plan and strategy besides convincing the shareholders to render strong support in committing towards SUSP.

Published: November 2024

Serverless computing is becoming increasingly important in data-processing applications in science and business. The scheduler is at the centre of serverless data-processing systems, allowing for dynamic decisions on job and data placement. The complex design space, which is influenced by various user, cluster, and workload variables, presents problems for developing high-performance and cost-effective scheduling structures and processes. To make this exploration easier, we present Sched-Probe, a framework that includes a conceptual model and simulator for systematic design space exploration. Using the Sched-Probe framework, we evaluate the performance of three scheduling systems and two techniques using real-world workloads. Our open-source software is now available on ExDe, allowing system designers to collaborate on delving into the complexity of serverless scheduling, paving the way for optimised and efficient data-processing systems.
A Comprehensive Review of Reinforcement Learning Applications in Gaming
Authors: Kumar Ashish , Kaur Bains Jasleen
Published: November 2024

Reinforcement learning is one of the most popular models for building agents that deal with the real world but are not distinctly told which actions to perform. In the context of gaming, the application of reinforcement learning thus spans many different categories, from classic arcade games to modern simulations. The aim of this review paper is to present a comprehensive review of reinforcement learning in gaming, its core methods or algorithms, and the results obtained. This paper first lays the groundwork by discussing the basics of reinforcement learning, among which are agents, environments, rewards, and policies. Then we discussed the mathematical framework of reinforcement learning, the Markov decision process, and the Bellman equation. Thereafter, it discusses specific reinforcement learning algorithms that have been successfully implemented in video games. A variety of algorithms has been adapted from the field of reinforcement learning and has shown huge success, like Q-learning, deep Q-networks, and policy gradients. Then we compare the different games and algorithms associated with them and their outcomes. There are also some major challenges with RL in video games, such as computational complexity, environment design, and many more. Finally, the conclusion and future aspects of applications of reinforcement learning in video games are discussed.

Published: November 2024

İçinde yaşadığımız dünyanın temsilini sunan belgeseller toplumsal katılımcılar diye adlandırdığımız gerçek kişilerin yaşamlarından, deneyimledikleri olay ve durumlar hakkında kesitler sunarken onların çıkarlarını da korumak durumundadır. Bu çıkar meselesi belgesel sinemanın temel sorunu olan etik kavramını da beraberinde getirir. Yönetmenin kamerasıyla neyi, ne şekilde ve ne kadar göstermek konusunda verdiği öznel kararlar bununla ilişkilidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı belgesel sinemada etik kavramına değindikten sonra, Fransız belgesel sinemasının en önemli temsilcilerinden biri olan Raymond Depardon sinemasında etik kaygıların biçim analizi çerçevesinde incelenmesidir. Bu bağlamda yönetmenin kamera, kurgu ve ses kullanımındaki tercihleri, filmlerinde yer alan kişi ve mekânların temsilleri hakkında değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Depardon’un kamerasını daha önce Fransa’da hiç kimsenin girmediği adliye sarayı, polis karakolu, ve akıl hastanesi gibi kurumlara çevirmesinden ötürü araştırma kapsamına, hukuk ve sağlık kurumlarının işleyişi hakkında bilgiler vermesi, temsil edilen kurum ve temsilcileri ile orada yargılanan ve/veya sorgulanan kişilerin temsil ve etik meselesi açısından uygun bir örneklem olmaları sebebiyle 12 Jours (12 Gün), 10ème Chambre-Instants d’Audiences (10. Salon-Mahkeme Manzaraları) ve Délits Flagrants (Suçüstü) adlı filmleri dahil edilmiştir. Yönetmen hakkında herhangi bir akademik çalışmanın olmaması da bu araştırmayı özgün kılmaktadır. Araştırma neticesinde Raymond Depardon, gerek sinematografik gerekse kurgu ve ses kullanımında yaptığı tercihlerle filmlerinde etik kaygılar taşıdığı saptanmıştır.

Authors: Moizali Shabbir , Raphael Sebukoto Hillary
Published: November 2024

Human beings are the definitive host for Ascaris lumbricoides. Infected persons may either be asymptomatic or may present with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and diarrhea. The authors report a case of intestinal A. lumbricoides with neurological manifestations. A 25-year-old male presented with repeated episodes of tonic-clonic convulsions and loss of consciousness lasting for 3 – 5 minutes, without regaining consciousness. There was no history of head trauma and had no history of experiencing similar episodes of convulsions in the past. He neither had a fever nor abdominal pain. Initial investigations, including imaging and blood tests, were normal. The patient was empirically treated with antihelminthic therapy, which resulted in the expulsion of multiple Ascaris lumbricoides. This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of neurological symptoms, even in the absence of typical gastrointestinal manifestations.

Authors: S. Nurhidayu, , N. Suhaidah,
Published: November 2024

Monitoring catchment water quality is crucial for maintaining safe water resources and supporting effective conservation and management strategies. This study evaluates stormwater quality in the Upper Rasau Catchment, located within the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve (AHFR) in Klang Valley, Malaysia, under both baseflow and stormflow conditions. Key water quality parameters, including dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and temperature, were measured across 189 samples collected during 11 storm events between September 20, 2023, and February 24, 2024. The findings reveal that river responses were influenced by rainfall intensity, with most discharges occurring approximately 30 minutes after rainfall, highlighting the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve’s ability to regulate water storage and flow. Descriptive analyses and classification based on the National Water Quality Standards (NWQS) indicated that Upper Rasau’s water quality typically falls under Class I, even during storm events, although pH levels dropped to Class III/IV during two storm events. Pearson’s correlation and simple linear regression analyses showed significant relationships between discharge and water quality parameters, and pollution load calculations estimated the total dissolved solids (TDS) and total suspended solids (TSS) produced during each storm event. Overall, the study suggests a significant improvement in the water quality of Upper Rasau, reflecting over 60 years of ecological recovery.

Authors: Changwony Purity Jepkorir
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of person role fitness on mastery of soft skills among interns in Nakuru County Government, Kenya. The curriculum that most college graduates are exposed to largely offer hard skills, but important soft skills that would make them well-prepared for the work environment are lacking. The study used a descriptive research design. The study's population consisted of 1300 interns stationed at the Nakuru County Government during the month of August. A stratified random selection technique was employed to choose a sample of 102 interns, and data was collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire. Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to examine the data and obtain both descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson's product-moment correlation was used as an inferential statistic to determine the direction and strength of linear associations. Simple and multiple regression analyses were employed to assess the relationship between the variables. The study indicated that person role fitness substantially affected soft skills proficiency in Nakuru County Government (? = 1.139, Sig. < 0.05). Thus, it was concluded that person role fitness is a significant factor of internship, which affects soft skills mastery among interns in the county. The study recommends that colleges operate in conjunction with the organisations or industries where the students are sent for their internship programs to ensure that the interns are well placed as per their professions in order to enhance soft skills mastery among the interns, as was evidenced by Nakuru County Government, Kenya.

Published: November 2024

A bacia hidrográfica do rio Una possui características morfoestruturais e morfoclimáticas de grande importância para compreensão da paisagem. A presente análise buscou realizar a aplicação de índices morfométricos, sobretudo, para o setor da escarpa oriental do planalto da Borborema que segmenta a bacia hidrográfica, destacando o setor norte da escarpa. O setor em questão é influenciado, estruturalmente, pela presença de uma zona de cisalhamento em sentido NE-SW, gerando um nível de base local, e intensificando processos erosivos somados ao contexto climático da área onde a bacia está inserida, de maneira que tal configuração ocasiona uma feição alveolar. Nesta feição é possível observar, de acordo com os parâmetros morfométricos aplicados, um padrão de valores mais baixos onde é possível observar com os índices de rugosidade, relevo local e densidade de lineamentos. Ademais, é possível verificar um possível controle estrutural sobre o canal principal, levando em consideração o índice de sinuosidade. O presente trabalho destaca que não apenas fatores lito-estruturais tem sua importância para a formação da feição alveolar, mas sim fatores climáticos que se destacam nas feições e processos observados.

Chemical fertilizers are becoming more and more necessary in developing countries like India where they damage the environment, water, and human health, harm the soil’s micro-flora and fauna, and also increase production costs. Finding a safer alternative for these harmful compounds is, therefore, essential. The diverse collection of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) quickly colonizes the rhizosphere and offers direct or indirect protection to agricultural plants. In addition to significantly increasing the seed germination rate, PGPR treatment offered protection against harmful microbes. It has been shown that PGPR significantly increased several crop’s yields and their capacity to absorb nutrients and water. PGPR exhibits encouraging outcomes by developing a symbiotic interaction with other beneficial microorganisms, boosting nitrogen fixation, and expanding the supply of primary, secondary, and micro-nutrients. The present review highlights the usefulness of PGPR as a biofertilizer for a safe and effective substitute for chemical fertilizers in environmentally responsible and sustainable agriculture.

This article presents the development of an Android application prototype designed to assist Military Police officers with writing incident reports. The application leverages Google's Gemini AI API to provide real-time grammar correction and intelligent suggestions for writing improvement, acting as an experienced officer reviewing and enhancing the text. The app's architecture, based on the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern, and the user interface design, focused on simplicity and usability, are detailed. The implementation of the Gemini AI API, including the system prompt that defines the AI's role and behavior, is explored, along with cost analysis and comparison with other popular natural language processing APIs like OpenAI and Anthropic. Test results using real incident reports demonstrate the app's ability to improve text clarity, conciseness, and professionalism, as well as provide relevant suggestions for police practice, such as missing information, legal procedures, and evidence collection. The article discusses the impacts and benefits of the application for the PMPR, the limitations of the technology, and suggestions for future work, including integration with other platforms and expansion of AI functionalities.

Endometrium kanseri, kadınlarda dördüncü en sık görülen kanser türüdür. Hastalar sıklıkla postmenopozal dönemde ortaya çıkan vajinal kanama ile başvurur. Bu nedenle çoğu vaka erken evrede yakalanır. Etyolojisinde en önemli risk faktörü dengelenmemiş yüksek seviyede östrojen etkisidir. Östrojen ile ilişkisine göre endometrioid ve non endometrioid kanserler olarak iki gruba ayrılır. Primer tedavisi cerrahidir. Evreleme cerrahi sonrası patolojik bulgulara göre yapılır. Son yıllarda moleküler sınıflamanın da evrelemede yer alması ile hastalar düşük, orta, yüksek-orta ve yüksek risk grubu olarak 4 gruba ayrılır ve tedavi kararı buna göre verilir. Uterin sarkomlar ise uterus düz kasından kaynaklanır. Küratif tedavisi cerrahidir. Adjuvan tedavide radyoterapi ve kemoterapinin katkısı sınırlıdır. Bu bölümde endometrium kanseri ile ilgili güncel bilgiler verilecektir.

Hybrid Function Projective Synchronization of Hyperchaotic Financial Systems via Adaptive Control
Authors: . Vikash , Khan Ayub , Alam Khursheed
Published: November 2024

In this manuscript, we establish hybrid function projective synchronization of a new hyperchaotic system using an adaptive control technique with unknown system parameters. In order to prevent either from deriving from participants in the single hyperchaotic financial system, identical master and slave systems are chosen. We design an adaptive controller to achieve global chaos synchronization between these master and slave systems. The synchronization results are based on adaptive control theory and Lyapunov stability theory. Additionally, we outline the basic dynamic characteristics of both hyperchaotic financial systems. Numerical simulations performed in Matlab validate our results excellently.

Dag Nylander, garante y representante de Noruega durante el proceso de paz en La Habana, fue una figura fundamental en los diálogos que marcaron la historia reciente de Colombia y han definido un proceso que aún continúa. Desde el inicio, Nylander estuvo presente en la mesa de negociaciones, por lo que su testimonio es iluminador y complementa el gran relato que hemos construido en el camino hacia la pacificación del país. En Saliendo de la selva, coescrito con la periodista Tove Gravdal, su mirada se enriquece con más de cuarenta entrevistas a participantes clave, desde el expresidente Juan Manuel Santos hasta el líder guerrillero Timochenko. Por medio de una narración cercana en primera persona, los lectores conocerán detalles inéditos de las reuniones en medio de la selva, de la cotidianidad en La Habana, de cómo llevaron a integrantes de las FARC a puntos de encuentro en Oslo e incluso lo que ocurrió en la Casa de Nariño el día del plebiscito. Este libro no solo busca dar cuenta de los cimientos de las negociaciones actuales, sino también resaltar los esfuerzos diplomáticos y la importancia del apoyo de países garantes en este proceso esencial para Colombia. Una lectura imprescindible para quienes desean comprender a fondo los desafíos y logros del recorrido hacia la paz.
