Мақалада Құранның 109-шы сүресін лингвистикалық және дінтанулық негіздерге сүйене отырып зерделеу мақсат етілген. «Аль-Кафирун» сүресі мәтіндік ықшамдылығына қарамастан, оның пайда болу уақытын контекстуалды талдау үшін өте пайдалы дереккөз болып табылады. Өкінішке орай, бұл сүре көп жағдайда зерттеушілердің назарынан тыс қалып жатады. Осы ретте мақалада әрбір сөздің аудармасын саралауға негізделген коммуникативті әдістер қолданылып, алғашқы ислам қауымдастығының өзге діни қауымдармен, яғни еврейлер және христиандармен болған күрделі қарым-қатынастар көрсетіледі. Сүренің пайда болуының тарихи жағдайы талданып, сол кезде азшылық болған мұсылмандар өздерінің қауіпсіздігі үшін айналадағы діни топтармен диалог құру әрекеттері қарастырылды. Зерттеу жұмысы екі аспекті бойынша талданған, атап айтқанда Құранның 109-шы сүресінің ішкі құрылымын зерделеуге бағытталған микро деңгей және өзге сүрелермен мәтінаралық үйлесімділікті қарастыруға мақсатталған макро деңгей назарға алынды. Бұл зерттеудің авторы 109-шы сүрені зерттеу арқылы Құранды тұтас мәтін ретінде тереңірек түсінуге, сондай-ақ оның ерте мұсылман қауымдастығын құрудағы рөлін зерттеуге болады деп санайды. Мақалада лингвистика мен дінтану объективі арқылы Құранның 109-ші сүресін жан-жақты талдау ұсынылған. Осы сүре пайда болған тарихи контексті зерттеу, оның мазмұнын талдау және Құранның басқа бөліктерімен интертекстуалды  байланыс арқылы автордың мақсаты қасиетті кітаптың осы бөлігінің маңыздылығын жаңа қырынан қарауға ұмтылу болып табылады.

Published: January 2024

The trauma of 9/11 makes individuals nostalgic and leaves indelible marks on their psyches. Their personal and political worlds are shattered. Rediscovery is an extravagant problem for them. 9/11 changed their definition of self. The paper analyses changes in their behaviour due to hysteria and its effects on their societal relations. Their distress and anxiety change their healthy relationships with each other into an unhealthy state. Now every individual is disturbed, feeling desperation on mental as well as physical level, having cracking headaches, and so on. This paper tries to study how the mental landscape of individuals changed due to catastrophic events. Mental health disturbance is equal in both Americans and Pakistanis, both the novels show us a story of traumatized people and how they become nostalgic.
Predicting long-term outcomes after microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm according to lateral spread response and immediate postoperative outcomes: a cohort study
Authors: Helal Ahmed , Graffeo Christopher S. , Meyer Frederic B. , Pollock Bruce E. , Link Michael J.
Published: January 2024

OBJECTIVE

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a well-established and highly effective treatment option for hemifacial spasm (HFS). Lateral spread response (LSR) has been used as an intraoperative indicator of HFS resolution, with controversial reliability. The purpose of this study was to determine long-term outcomes of MVD for HFS and the role of LSR and other preoperative predictors.

METHODS

The authors conducted a cohort study of all patients treated with MVD for HFS at a single institution from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2019. In addition to a retrospective chart review, all patients were contacted at the time of the study to provide informed consent and responded to a telephone survey to ascertain their current disease and medication status. Patients with at least 12 months of postoperative follow-up were included. Statistical testing included a Student t-test, Fisher’s exact test, logistic regression, and Cox proportional hazards analysis.

RESULTS

One hundred nineteen patients met study criteria; 41 (34%) had at least 10 years of clinical follow-up. HFS fully resolved in 93 (78%), symptoms subjectively improved in 11 (9%) and were unchanged in 15 (13%). Immediate postoperative HFS status did not correlate with long-term outcome (p = 0.13). Changes in LSR were not associated with outcome. Patients receiving neuromodulating agents had significantly longer preoperative duration of symptoms and were more likely to show persistent LSR intraoperatively. HFS recurrence was associated with younger age at the time of surgery but not with intraoperative LSR resolution.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated that MVD for HFS is highly effective for most patients. Neither intraoperative LSR change nor immediate postoperative status was predictive of long-term outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

A taxonomy for superficial cerebral cavernous malformations (CMs), those based cortically in gyral gray matter or subcortically in underlying white matter, is proposed to build on the comprehensive, systematic characterization of CMs in the entire brain.

METHODS

Patients with superficial cerebral CMs were retrospectively analyzed from a consecutive surgical series between November 2008 and June 2021 at the authors’ center. Superficial cerebral CMs were categorized into 4 subtypes based on their cortical location or, if subcortical, proximity to the nearest cerebral surface: convexity, medial, basal, and sylvian. Lobar location was also included for subtyping: frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital.

RESULTS

A total of 362 CMs were resected in 346 patients. CM subtypes were as follows: 132 (36.5%) convexity, 78 (21.5%) medial, 72 (19.9%) basal, and 80 (22.1%) sylvian. Frontal CMs were most common (155 [42.8%]), followed by parietal (89 [24.6%]), temporal (87 [24.0%]), and occipital (31 [8.6%]). Of all CMs, 302 (83.4%) were cortical and 60 (16.6%) were subcortical. The mean subcortical depth of deep lesions was 2.97 cm, and the mean lesion volume was 4.68 cm3. Overall, 228 lesions (63.0%) were resected through a transgyral approach, and 134 (37.0%) were resected through a transsulcal approach. Good outcomes (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score ≤ 2) were observed in 314 patients (86.7%) and poor outcomes (mRS score > 2) in 25 patients (6.9%), and 23 patients (6.4%) were lost to late follow-up (mean follow-up duration 11.5 months). Relative outcomes were good (unchanged or improved mRS score) in 327 patients (90.3%) and poor (worse or died) in 35 patients (9.7%).

CONCLUSIONS

Superficial cerebral CMs were resected through a gyrus or sulcus to open the subarachnoid dissection corridors, traversing the full extent of sulci to deepen the approach and minimize tissue transgression. Transgyral dissection avoids associated arteries but is inherently transgressive, whereas transsulcal dissection preserves cortical tissue and may reduce morbidity. Superficial cerebral CMs occupy the largest territory of the 7 types, and the size and surface complexity of the cerebrum make taxonomic subtyping valuable for clear anatomical description.

Dogs are one of the human pets that are often affected by parasitic infections, both endoparasites (helminths and protozoa) and ectoparasites (fleas, ticks, fleas, and mites). Endoparasites that are often reported are helminth cases, namely Ancylostomiasis, Toxocariasis, Dipylidiasis, Trichuriasis and Nekatoriasis. Toxocara canis is one of the most widespread public health and economically important zoonotic parasitic infections humans share with dogs. Meanwhile, the ectoparasites, especially fleas, that are often encountered are Ctenocephalides canis. The method used to detect the presence of worms is native, centrifugation, and floating feces examination and Mc Master Chamber calculation to determine the severity of the worm infection. In this case, blood tests were also carried out. Flea examination is carried out by identifying ectoparasite wet preparations. The results of a floating stool examination revealed Toxocara canis worm eggs. The ectoparasite obtained after laboratory examination was the flea Ctenocephalides canis. The treatment used to treat helminth disease is by administering worm medicine, while for flea disease it can be done by anti-flea injection. Prevention can be done by administering worm medicine regularly and keeping the dog's cage and environment clean.

What Is Sociological Theory?
Authors: Oesterdiekhoff Georg
Published: January 2024

There are several types of sociological theories one has to discriminate from each other. Certain sociological theories earmark only single phenomena and do not differ from explanations used in everyday life. Then there are general sociological theories, mainly general theories of action, e. g. rational choice or interpretative sociologies. Finally, one has to feature macro-sociological theories that point out historical or societal developments pertaining to structures such whole societies, family patterns, or processes such as industrialization or globalization.

Axioms Around the Term Information
Authors: Plochberger Franz
Published: January 2024

The word “information” has got a very high relevance since his first usage for technician purposes in the year 1928 by R.V. HARTLEY in his script “The Transmission of Information”. The better known scientist C.E. SHANNON has token it from HARTLEY.

This usage was historical, because since that time this term “Information” got very famous in scientific circles. Today we use it in uncountable and not observable cases in all branches of our present sciences. We call our age the Age of Information.

A desired worldwide unified definition of this term was till now not possible. Therefore new tendencies try to notify all existing definitions and differentiations. Building an amount of all relevant usages and abstracting common properties out of these elements – seem to bring a long time Unified Theory of Information (UTI).

In this work a possible new trial is written down and scientifically embedded. The result is surprising simple and grate.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common viral pathogen. Most people who have acute CMV will have an undetectable infection. It is known that cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most prevalent congenital viral infection in individuals and a significant factor in morbidity and mortality in immunosuppressed hosts, as well as a significant factor in neurodevelopmental disabilities and sensorineural hearing loss. In order to screen for congenital CMV infection, PCR assays are currently being evaluated.
Estimating Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall: A Kalman Filter Approach
Authors: Lecq Max van der , Vuuren Gary van
Published: January 2024

Value at Risk (VaR) estimates the maximum loss a portfolio may incur at a given confidence level over a specified time, while expected shortfall (ES) determines the probability weighted losses greater than VaR. VaR has recently been replaced by (but remains a crucial step in the computation of) ES by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) as the primary metric for banks to forecast market risk and allocate the relevant amount of regulatory market risk capital. The aim of the study is to introduce a more accurate approach of measuring VaR and hence ES determined using loss forecast accuracy. VaR (hence ES) is unobservable and depends on subjective measures like volatility, more accurate (loss forecast) estimates of both are constantly sought. Modelling the volatility of asset returns as a stochastic process, so a Kalman filter (which distinguishes and isolates noise from data using Bayesian statistics and variance reduction) is used to estimate both market risk metrics. A variety of volatility estimates, including the Kalman filter's recursive approach, are used to measure VaR and ES. Loss forecast accuracy is then computed and compared. The Kalman filter produces the most accurate loss forecast estimates in periods of both calm and volatile markets. The Kalman filter provides the most accurate forecasts of future market risk losses compared with standard methods which results in more accurate provision of regulatory market risk capital.

Using a quantitative longitudinal trends analysis, this study analysed the link between tax evasion and avoidance. The main aim was to assess the implications of evasion and avoidance of taxes on South African economy progress from 1994-2021. Publically secondary data available from South African Revenue authority were gathered. The data gathered provided us with basis of longitudinal statistical analysis of the extent of tax evasion and or tax avoidance affected the economic growth in the years 1994-2021. The Eviews 10 Results was used to estimate elasticities and buoyancies for major taxes with respect of South Africa’s economic growth for years 1994-2021. The natural logarithm of the gap between total budgeted tax income and realised tax income was also employed as a metric of tax evasion and avoidance in South Africa for this key research work. Ordinary Least Squares Regression (OLS) regression analysis was employed to evaluate whether the link between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and tax evaded and avoided is strong or weak. Test for stationarity to see whether the parameter does not vary over time and for OLS was performed. The overall analysis of tax evasion and avoidance upon South African economy showed the increased tax revenue resulted in surpluses between tax revenue budgeted, tax revenue collected and economic growth (GDP), meaning tax evasion and avoidance in South Africa are minimal.  The study's findings disprove prior studies that suggest that tax evasion and tax avoidance seriously affect Gross Domestic Products (GDP) and refute the null hypothesis of this study. However, the study’s results further revealed that increasing tax rates was said to have triggered a positive trend towards economic growth or GDP (actual revenue collected is more than expected taxation revenue annually to cover tax evaded and avoided.   As far as policy is concerned the conclusion is reassuring that tax evasion and avoidance has minimal effect upon economic growth as long as tax rates are being risen. The results of this study provide implications for government that specific insights should allow policy makers to gain a better understanding on the key variables that are potentially associated with tax evasion and avoidance. Finally, the study contributes knowledge that is pertinent to an emerging country and provides much needed insights into the magnitude of the extent of tax evasion and avoidance on the county’s economic growth progress.

Authors: Garekwe L. , Ferreira-Schenk S. J. , Dickason-Koekemoer Zandri
Published: January 2024

In the era of globalisation and technological development, artificial intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in financial activities and services. AI in financial technology has a clear potential to accelerate the financial industry's transformation by offering excellent value to customers by providing tailor-made products and services, thus improving customer experience. The paper aims to model the factors influencing bank customers' readiness for artificially intelligent banking products within the South African banking sector. Data were collected from 346 banking customers within South Africa. The study results revealed that demographic and socio-cultural variables influence the readiness for artificially intelligent banking products. Behavioural finance biases also influence bank customers' readiness for artificially intelligent banking products. Furthermore, the study also found that customers' readiness for artificial intelligent banking products is faced with the limitation of the inaccessibility to technological tools in rural areas. Consequently, policies that can improve infrastructure and enable rural citizens to cope with advanced technology can improve bank customers' readiness for artificially intelligent banking products in South Africa.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of corporate governance and compliance with Shariah on internal controls over financial reporting. It also examines the moderating role of Shariah compliance on the relationship between corporate governance structures and internal reporting controls. Ordinary least square (OLS) models are applied to 94 listed Jordanian companies on Amman Stock Exchange over the period 2015-2021. The empirical evidence shows board size, board meetings, Shariah compliance, and auditor type have a negative impact on material weaknesses in internal controls (MWIC). Second, unitary leadership, where the same individual is both the chair and CEO, is positively correlated to MWIC. Third, Shariah compliance strengthens the effect of board meetings, suggesting that Shariah compliance and good corporate governance mechanisms reinforce each other to ensure higher-quality internal financial reporting controls.
Examining Monetary Policy Cyclicality in Egypt during Crisis Time: Global Financial Crisis versus COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Emam Hebatalla Atef
Published: January 2024

Egypt has been exposed to two recent shocks: the global financial crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020. Though the origin and the implications of the two shocks are quite different, they bear some similarities in terms of the sharp decline in global economic growth and negative implication on the Egyptian economy. The present study attempts to assess the cyclicality of monetary policy in Egypt during the two crises. To this end, both descriptive and econometric techniques are employed in this study to reveal the cyclicality of monetary policy. On the descriptive side, the correlation between the cyclical component of policy rate and that of real GDP is calculated. Moreover, both an ARDL and NARDL approach are estimated to derive the augmented Taylor rule for the cyclical component of policy rate. Two dummy variables reflecting the two crises along with their interaction with output gap are incorporated in the model to disentangle the impact of the two crises upon monetary policy cyclicality.  The study concludes that monetary policy in Egypt is more acyclical and that its response to changes in output gap is statistically insignificant, during both normal times and crisis time.

Uplifting economic growth is crucial for the sustained development and prosperity of an economy. The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of institutional quality, foreign direct investment (FDI), inflation, and domestic investment on the economic growth of Latin America from 1996 to 2021. The study utilizes a combination of panel unit root testing, cross-sectional dependency testing, panel cointegration testing, and the Panel Autoregressive Distributive Lag (PARDL) technique to shed light on the dynamics of the region's economic development. The panel cointegration techniques confirm the existence of a long-run relationship among the selected variables over the chosen time frame. The PARDL technique is employed to determine the short- and long-run impact of institutional quality, FDI, inflation, and local investment on the economic growth of Latin America. The results show that institutional quality, FDI, and local investment have a significant positive impact on the economic growth of Latin America, while inflation has a negative impact. These findings suggest that policymakers in Latin America should prioritize improving institutional quality, encouraging FDI, and promoting local investment while controlling inflation. A comprehensive economic strategy that considers both short- and long-term dynamics is necessary, highlighting the importance of an integrated approach that recognizes their interaction. The study recommends improving the quality of institutions, especially political stability, to attract FDI and encourage domestic investment by promoting a business-friendly environment, guaranteeing financial accessibility, encouraging innovations, promoting regional and global integration, controlling inflation, reducing income inequality, and raising the standard of living.
