Currency power as a medium: Revisiting international cost transfer mechanisms in the U.S. subprime crisis
Authors: Pang Bo
Published: November 2024

This paper endeavors to meticulously examine the disparities in developmental trajectories between industrialized and emerging economies, employing the nuanced concept of cost transfer within the theoretical framework of the "core-periphery" paradigm. We propose an intricate conceptual model to delve into the mechanisms through which economic crises are systematically shifted from the developed core to the peripheral developing regions, with particular emphasis on the pivotal roles of monetary hegemony and geopolitical dominance. Utilizing the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis as a seminal case study, we scrutinize the intricate dynamics of cost transfer, elucidating how the developed nations leverage their monetary supremacy and geopolitical prowess, often bolstered by military might and neo-liberal ideologies, to facilitate the offloading of inflationary pressures and commodity price hikes onto developing nations, notably China. Our findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on the entrenched inequalities between the Global North and South, emphasizing the asymmetrical power relations that underpin the process of cost transfer. Furthermore, this study enhances the research framework of cost-transfer theory and offers insights into the development of inequalities between developed and developing countries, aiding in the formulation of response strategies for developing countries facing cost transfer and mitigating the adverse impacts of cost transfers, thereby fostering more equitable and sustainable development trajectories.

Authors: Ip Si Hua Robert
Published: November 2024

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) models have surged in popularity and success,  garnering much attention across many disciplines and applications. In particular, recent developments in Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have allowed them to match and even surpass human capabilities in many tasks. However, the complexity of deep neural networks causes them function like black boxes that are very difficult for humans to understand, thus making them untrustworthy and limiting their usefulness in high-risk applications. Explainable Artificial Intelligence aims to alleviate this issue by generating explanations for DNNs to allow humans to understand their reasoning and increase their transparency. This paper reviews research on neural network explainability, detailing its definition, necessity, classification, and evaluation. It categorizes current explanation methods for deep neural networks according to their number of inputs. Additionally, it introduces the principles and evaluation methods for common interpretability algorithms. Future research directions and applications of interpretable neural networks are summarized. The challenges facing interpretable neural networks are outlined, along with potential solutions to these challenges.

Asthma, a chronic respiratory condition, continues to impose a significant economic burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Objective: The main objective of the study is to find the predictors and components of inpatient asthma hospital cost. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from January 2024 to June 2024. Data were collected from 245 patients suffering from asthma. Patients were selected based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes related to asthma documented in their medical records. Patients aged >18 years with complete medical and billing records available were included in the study. Results: The results show that gender did not significantly affect hospital costs, with males averaging $7,400 and females $7,000 (p = 0.12). Age was a significant predictor, as older patients (65+ years) incurred higher costs ($9,800) compared to younger groups (p < 0.01). Socioeconomic status also impacted costs, with lower-income patients averaging $8,100 compared to $6,200 for higher-income patients (p < 0.05). Age (65+ years) increased costs by $1,800 in univariate analysis and by $1,500 in multivariate analysis (p < 0.01). Asthma severity had the strongest effect, with severe cases adding $5,500 in univariate analysis and $4,800 in multivariate analysis (p < 0.001). Comorbidities increased costs by $4,000 univariately and $3,500 in multivariate models (p < 0.01).Conclusion: It is concluded that asthma severity, comorbidities, and socioeconomic status are the primary predictors of inpatient asthma hospital costs.

Authors: HUSSAIN MG , HAMEED S , TASNEEM SS , JABEEN R
Published: November 2024

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is crucial for protecting healthcare workers from occupational hazards and infections, particularly in high-risk environments such as hospitals. Adequate knowledge and proper use of PPE are essential to ensure the safety of both healthcare workers and patients. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses regarding PPE at a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was utilized. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 152 nurses working in various departments of the hospital. Purposive sampling was employed, and the sample size was determined using RaoSoft with a 95% confidence interval and a 0.5% margin of error. The questionnaire comprised sections on demographic information, knowledge assessment, and attitudes and practices evaluation. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, with descriptive statistics and chi-square tests to identify associations between demographic characteristics and knowledge levels. Results: Of the 152 participants, 77% were female, with a mean age of 36.5 years (SD ± 9.05 years). Most participants held a diploma in nursing (46%), and the majority (93.4%) had less than 12 years of professional experience. The findings revealed that 67% of nurses demonstrated good knowledge of PPE, 20% had average knowledge, and 13% exhibited poor knowledge. While 92% of participants reported being knowledgeable about PPE usage, inconsistencies were noted in the adherence to specific practices, such as glove and mask usage. Additionally, only 34% of participants believed that consistent use of PPE would reduce their risk of infection, indicating a potential gap between perceived and actual knowledge. Conclusion: The study highlights both strengths and gaps in nurses' knowledge and practices regarding PPE at a tertiary care hospital in Lahore. While most nurses demonstrated a satisfactory understanding of PPE, inconsistencies in practical application underscore the need for targeted training and reinforcement of guidelines. Regular training sessions, active monitoring, and continuous professional development are essential to enhance adherence to PPE protocols and safeguard healthcare workers in resource-limited settings like Pakistan.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has emerged as a key intervention, but the outcomes and associated risk factors, including comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, remain essential to understand for optimizing treatment and improving prognosis. Objective: To evaluate outcomes and identify risk factors in patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to acute myocardial infarction managed with percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital involving 70 patients aged 60 years and above who presented with cardiogenic shock due to AMI within 24 hours of symptom onset. Data were collected on demographics, clinical indicators of shock severity, and mechanical complications, including pump failure, papillary muscle rupture, ventricular septal rupture (VSR), and free wall rupture. The incidence of comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, and smoking status, was documented. Mortality and recovery patterns were assessed during hospitalization and post-discharge. Statistical analysis was performed to examine associations between comorbidities and adverse outcomes. Results: The mean age of the cohort was 68.8 ± 4.5 years, with a male predominance of 57.1%. Key complications included pump failure in 31.4%, papillary muscle rupture in 11.4%, papillary muscle dysfunction in 34.3%, VSR in 7.1%, and free wall rupture in 4.3% of patients. Overall mortality was 12.9%. Hypertension was present in 67.1% of patients, diabetes in 61.4%, and smoking in 21.4%, all of which correlated with higher complication rates and adverse outcomes. Conclusion: Early PCI management in patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to AMI is associated with favorable survival rates. However, comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes significantly increase complication rates. These findings underscore the importance of timely intervention and risk-targeted management to improve survival outcomes in high-risk patients.

Islamic-Centred Leadership: Qualifying Leaders For Islamic Banks
Authors: Abdullah Khamis Ahmed
Published: November 2024

Islamic banking operates under the principles of Shari’ah law, which governs its financial practices and ethical standards. However, a major challenge facing the industry is the disconnect between the leadership skills required for Islamic banking and those currently in place. In light of this, a research study was conducted to evaluate the alignment between the competencies of leaders in Gulf countries’ Islamic banks and the Shari’ah law’s requirements. The study utilized a qualitative approach, including interviews with eight purposively selected HR managers from various banks in the region. The findings revealed a significant gap between the leadership competencies and the principles of trust and justice emphasized in Shari’ah law. This discrepancy highlights the need for a more thorough assessment of competencies to ensure that they align with the values and goals of Islamic banking. By bridging this gap, Islamic banks can effectively incorporate the principles of Shari’ah law into their leadership competencies and promote a more efficient and successful industry.
In Pursuit of Good Governance and Democracy in Africa: Assessing the Benchmarking Role and Mandate of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) in Nigeria
Authors: Tukur Mustafa Adedeji
Published: November 2024

The study acknowledged that the post-colonial expectations of the African societies, and the attendant result of good governance, among other values, were not just desirable, but inexorably high, given the experience of the pre-independence era as characterized by colonial imperialism. The study noted that unfortunately, such expectations may have been a mirage after all, not less for inadequate resources needed for development, but for challenges of transition on the one hand; and factors of maladministration, unbridled corruption, gross insensitivities of the post-independent leaders and their ill temperament to governance, recurring regime change by the military, self-rule, and lately, the phenomenon of rising insecurity among other inimical limitations to good governance on the African continent, on the other hand. With the establishment of the African Union (AU), which replaced the legacy Organization of African Unity (OAU) in May 2002 and now rebranded as the African Union Development Agency-New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD), which is conceived as a strategic framework for the socio-economic development of the continent. The AUDA-NEPAD subsequently established the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) as an instrument for monitoring performance in governance among member states. However, the existence of the APRM has generated mixed reactions regarding pursuing its mandate among member-states. This paper sought to critically interrogate the extent to which the APRM has adequately implemented its mandate while benchmarking Nigeria, in the adherence to democratic ethos and values, and the promotion of good governance. This paper has adopted a qualitative research paradigm, relying on secondary data from relevant literature and applying an appropriate theoretical paradigm in its far reaching analysis to underpin the study. The paper concluded by professing prescriptions and perspectives, on how best to place the APRM as a continental regulatory framework for the greater well-being of Africa, particularly Nigeria, while removing the growing contradictions and challenges of governance and development at large.

Authors: Ekpo Tony Johnson , Akah Augustine Ugar
Published: November 2024

Elections in Nigeria are becoming a recurring democratic norm and need to be sustained by every stakeholder in the democratic enterprise. However, the political system is not without insurmountable challenges, as national and regional efforts through the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS seeks to deepen and consolidate Nigeria’s fragile democracy through participatory observer missions at elections. There are pockets of electoral security challenges and calls for synergy between the Nigerian government and respective institutions to deploy more funding and logistics for smooth elections and respect for electoral guidelines by political parties. A post-analysis study of this research shows that Nigeria’s elections are flawed with tampering, violence, vote buying, rigging, manipulation and abuse of voter register and registration process. The study further focused on the challenges of election monitoring by the sub-regional organization and election security management in light of Nigeria’s elections. The study concludes by highlighting key issues that must be addressed to avert electoral security challenges.

Published: November 2024

With the ongoing ascent of China and India in the global arena, there is a prevailing inclination to examine and evaluate these two prominent Asian powers. However, it could be more advantageous to investigate the prospects of Sino-Indian collaboration that might provide reciprocal benefits. China and India’s interests are progressively aligning regarding their economic and geopolitical objectives and ambitions to attain global power status. The growing depth of their interactions indicates the growth of confidence, which may pave the way for establishing distinct forums for collaborative endeavors, educational opportunities, and humanitarian assistance. Implementing such procedures would have practical use and contribute to fostering trust and assurance for subsequent endeavors. This paper examines several domains in which the relationship between India and China is aligning. This study also recommends addressing the trade gap between India and China.

Authors: Gunawan Yohan , Arianto Radityo Fajar
Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze the influence of relationship quality and information sharing on supplier performance at PT XYZ. The study examines eight hypotheses, including the impact of trust, commitment, satisfaction with the organization, satisfaction with pricing, satisfaction with communication, information sharing on supplier loyalty, supplier communication, and supplier quality. The research method used is a survey with questionnaires distributed to 180 respondents from PT XYZ's supplier companies. Data analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results show that commitment has a positive impact on information sharing. Satisfaction with the organization and satisfaction with pricing were also found to have a positive impact on information sharing. Information sharing significantly enhances supplier loyalty, supplier communication, and supplier quality. However, the influence of trust and satisfaction with communication on information sharing was not proven significant. These findings reinforce the importance of building high-quality relationships and effective information sharing in improving supplier performance. The managerial implications of this study include strategies to maintain and enhance high performance, resource optimization, simple monitoring, and focusing on improving high-interest, low-performance areas. This study also identifies several limitations and provides suggestions for future research.
