Published: March 2024

Aim: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a global health emergency due to its rapid spread worldwide. Our study evaluated the relationship between pulmonary artery diameter and d-dimer in COVID-19 patients.

Material and Methods: Patients aged 18 years and older with International Classification of Diseases 10 diagnosis code U07.3 who were admitted to our emergency department between March 15, 2020, and November 31, 2020, were included in our study. Demographic data (age, sex), laboratory tests (polymerase chain reaction test, d-dimer level), and imaging results (chest computed tomography, computed tomography pulmonary angiography) of the patients were retrospectively analyzed using medical records and the hospital electronic record system.

Results: A total of 1654 patients were included in the study. The 30-day mortality rate was 13.7% (n=227). The most effective independent variable on 30-day mortality was 44 years of age or older. Pulmonary artery diameter and d-dimer levels were found to be higher in both the group with typical COVID-19 chest computed tomography findings and in patients who died within 30 days. However, unlike the literature, there was no significant difference in pulmonary artery diameter and d-dimer levels between patients with and without pulmonary embolism.

Conclusion: In conclusion, we found a weak positive correlation between d-dimer and pulmonary artery diameter in COVID-19 patients.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
Purpose — This paper explores how Islamic economics and finance, when developed as an embedded framework for regenerative development in line with maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah (the objectives of Islamic law), can facilitate the design of sustainable contracts and Islamic financial engineering. This framework provides a mechanism to achieve the paradigm shift advocated by Islamic finance scholars to accommodate the sustainability agenda into the practical applications of Islamic economics and finance. The paper specifically focuses on the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) economies.   
Design/Methodology/Approach — This study employs an analytical research approach to evaluate the compatibility of Islamic social and commercial finance with sustainability objectives. The analysis is primarily qualitative and relies on the One Earth Framework proposed by Simpson et al. (2021) to structure the assessment of opportunities and challenges related to sustainability that Islamic economics and finance in the GCC region can help address.
Findings — The paper highlights the potential of Islamic economics and finance as an embedded framework to address sustainability challenges in the GCC countries. By examining the capacity of Islamic finance to accommodate sustainability pathways, it elucidates avenues for integrating sustainable practices within Islamic financial contracts and institutions.
Originality/Value — One of the key contributions of this paper is the introduction and development of Islamic economics and finance as an embedded framework. This pioneering concept not only lays the groundwork for a practical mechanism but also signifies a fundamental step in realising the paradigm shift within Islamic finance. This transformative approach enhances the relevance and effectiveness of Islamic finance in fostering sustainability, marking a significant advancement in the field.
Research Limitations — While the study provides valuable insights, it primarily follows an analytical approach and does not involve quantitative analysis. It serves as a starting point for further research on the integration of sustainability objectives in Islamic finance.
Practical Implications — The paper suggests practical implications for Islamic finance stakeholders, highlighting the potential for sustainable contract design and financial engineering.

Assessing Libya’s First Ṣukūk: Sharīʿah Compliance and Financial Viability
Authors: Lemhishi Mohamed Faraj , Ghaith Mahaini Mohammad
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
Purpose — This study aims to assess the first ṣukūk issuance in Libya from two main perspectives: the compliance of the ṣukūk with the Sharīʿah and its compliance with the Libyan legal system. Further, the study evaluates the adequacy of the provided financial disclosures to assess the feasibility of the ṣukūk issuance.
Design/Methodology/Approach — A qualitative case study methodology was used to assess the ṣukūk issuance in question. For the assessment of disclosure adequacy, a tailored model was devised featuring main and subsidiary points of interest.
Findings — The Sharīʿah assessment findings suggest potential non-compliance issues within the ṣukūk issuance. Additionally, there are significant gaps in the disclosure of key financial aspects related to both the ṣukūk originator and the project, potentially hindering stakeholders from gaining a comprehensive understanding of the issuance’s feasibility.
Originality/Value — One unique advantage of this paper is that it is the first to gain access to the actual documentation of ṣukūk issuances in Libya.
Research Limitations/Implications — The study’s scope was constrained by a scarcity of data and documents from Libyan parties.
Practical Implications — After analysing the ṣukūk issuance, a framework of Sharīʿah and financial disclosures was developed. The application of the proposed framework can be extended to effectively assess other comparable ṣukūk offerings within the Libyan legal system.
Social Implications — Libyan policymakers are recommended to strengthen the regulations governing forthcoming ṣukūk issuances. The proposed improvements should include mandating comprehensive disclosures regarding the financial viability of the ṣukūk issuance and ensuring ample disclosures to guarantee full adherence to Sharīʿah principles.

Research on the Development of Inclusive Finance in Hong Kong: A Fintech Perspective
Authors: Xiangshan Chen
Published: March 2024

The concept of inclusive finance encompasses the dissemination of accessible, efficient, and affordable financial services to every segment and stratum of society, fostering the broader reach and intensification of financial services. As the global economy evolves, inclusive finance has emerged as a critical component within the financial frameworks of numerous nations. Nevertheless, conventional financial systems exhibit certain constraints when catering to micro, small, and medium enterprises, as well as individuals with lower incomes, leaving unresolved issues of service universality and disparities in financial access. Financial technology, or FinTech, involves a collection of technologies and business models that leverage technological innovation to create new financial products, enhance service delivery, and streamline financial operations, thereby improving overall efficiency. The advent of FinTech presents both new avenues and challenges for the integration of financial services.

Hong Kong, a prominent international financial hub, boasts a sophisticated, resilient, and highly liberalized financial architecture. The surge in FinTech innovation within Hong Kong has introduced fresh avenues for the advancement of inclusive financial services. Despite this, the progression of inclusive finance in Hong Kong encounters certain obstacles, including the persistence of financial exclusion and the need for enhanced financial literacy. This study evaluates the current state of inclusive financial development in Hong Kong, scrutinizes the deployment of FinTech within the context of inclusive finance, and offers pertinent policy suggestions to bolster the growth of inclusive financial services in the region.

The insights derived from this research facilitate a deeper comprehension of the landscape and challenges of inclusive finance in Hong Kong, investigate the role and integration of FinTech in this domain, and provide valuable guidance and proposals for the further development of inclusive financial services in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the findings of this paper hold relevance and potential implications for the advancement of inclusive financial systems in other jurisdictions.
How Corporate Liquidity Reacts to COVID-19 Outbreak? Evidence from Listed Corporations in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alnori Faisal
Published: March 2024

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic remarkably influenced the global economy and hence corporate decisions. This study investigates corporate liquidity policy reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic by comparing corporate cash holdings levels before and after the COVID-19 crisis. Using quarterly data of listed non-financial firms in Saudi Arabia over the years 2018-2021 and employing a paired-sample univariate analysis, this study found that the COVID-19 outbreak significantly influenced corporate liquidity decisions. In particular, the results show a significant difference in the cash holdings levels between the periods before and after the COVID-19 crisis. Firms’ cash holdings are significantly higher after COVID-19 in comparison to cash holdings before the pandemic. These findings support the trade-off theory’s precautionary and transaction cost motives for holding liquid assets. The outcomes of this study provide important implications for policymakers, corporate managers, and lenders.

Authors: Fernando John
Published: March 2024

An increasing number of businesses now rely on computer technology to complete tasks. For this reason, possessing computer skills has become increasingly crucial This study aimed to assess the computer and ICT skills of employees in small-scale business organizations. The researcher administered a survey questionnaire to a purposive sample of 28 employees from small-scale business organizations, and the quantitative data gathered was organized and processed using SPSS version 17.0. The explanatory design employed unstructured interviews with non-probability sampled respondents to collect qualitative data. Thematic analysis was used to establish themes arising from the qualitative responses. Findings revealed that employees in these organizations have a low level of competence in performing office tasks, such as basic computer operations, file management, word processing, database use, and network use. There are no significant differences in computer and ICT skill levels among employees in small-scale business organizations when grouped by educational attainment, length of service, and gender. Based on the interviewees' responses, common themes emerged, such as poor internet connectivity, an unreliable power supply, a lack of funds to purchase gadgets that can access the internet, a lack of knowledge and interest in learning, and a lack of time to attend a short program related to computers and ICT are the reasons for low levels of computer and ICT skills. Tutorials and self-study are common strategies employees use to accomplish assigned tasks in the office.
Hybridity and Cultural Duality in E.M Forster’s Character Dr. Aziz: A Post-Colonial Analysis
Authors: Karmi Ghulam Nabi , Salar Obaid Ullah
Published: March 2024

The study examines the impact of British influence on Indian culture and its people, leading to a dualism in their personalities, as conceptualized by Homi K. Bhabha's notion of hybridity. The analysis of Forster’s novel and the character of Dr. Aziz using Bhabha’s concepts of hybridity and ambivalence reveals that British culture poses a significant threat to the native culture, eroding the ancient histories of Indian cultures in the younger native generation. This qualitative research, based on the findings of this study, also opens up a new dimension for researchers in the same field or those interested in hybridity, or A Passage to India. This research is qualitative in nature, and the data was collected from the novel A Passage to India. The research also identifies that Dr. Aziz appears to be influenced by the English lifestyle and attempts to emulate English behavior on multiple occasions, seeking friendship with English people and even organizing and leading a trip for them to demonstrate his honor and responsibility. However, after facing accusations, he refrains from accepting the friendship of the English until they cease to rule India, displaying dual and hybrid behavior. The study also uncovers the influence of the English language and cultural values on Indians. Considering that Forster wrote the novel A Passage to India during his visits to India, it is evident that he witnessed the scenario during the British Raj, lending credibility and trustworthiness to the events described in the novel. This provides a satisfying validation of the research results.
Decentralized Anonymous IoT Data Sharing with Key-Private Proxy Re-Encryption
Authors: Günsay Esra , Yayla Oğuz
Published: March 2024

Secure and scalable data sharing is one of the main concerns of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. In this paper, we introduce a novel blockchain-based data-sharing construction designed to ensure full anonymity for both the users and the data. To share the encrypted IoT data stored on the cloud, users generate tokens, prove their ownership using zk-SNARKs, and target the destination address anonymously. To tackle the privacy concerns arising from uploading the data to the cloud, we use key-private re-encryption and share only the necessary information with the proxy. As the first time in the literature, we have integrated a token-based blockchain and a key private proxy re-encryption to achieve a fully anonymous data sharing scheme. Furthermore, we provide security proof of our proposed scheme is secure against existential forgery under chosen-plaintext attacks, under eDBDH assumption in the random oracle model.

A degeneração macular relacionada à idade (DMRI) é uma das maiores causas de cegueira em pessoas com mais de 55 anos nos países industrializados. Está relacionada ao estresse oxidativo, hipóxia, inflamação e mudanças degenerativas da matriz extracelular. Pode ser classificada em: tardia, intermediária ou precoce. O mecanismo fisiopatológico da DMRI ocorre por redução da difusão de oxigênio, proliferação de fatores de crescimento, o mais importante é o fator de crescimento endotelial vascular (VEGF). Para tratar a progressão DMRI novos fármacos, denominados agentes antiangiogênicos, inibem o VEGF, dentre eles, o Ranibizumabe, um anticorpo monoclonal humanizado recombinante, que se liga ao receptor biologicamente ativo do VEGF-A e impede a ligação deste com o receptor VEGF das células endoteliais. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a farmacoterapia e a evolução clínica do tratamento com injeção intravítrea (IIV) de Ranibizumabe em pacientes com DMRI. Tratou-se de um estudo analítico descritivo e retrospectivo transversal num hospital amazônico com pacientes idosos submetidos à IIV com Ranibizumabe. Foram selecionados 36 (44,4%) masculinos e 45 (55, 6%) femininos, 60 a 75 anos (63; 77,8%), naturais do interior do estado do Pará (40; 49,4 %), residente na região metropolitana (67; 82,7 %), escolaridade ignorada (42; 51,8%), profissão ignorada (78; 96,3%) e estado civil casado/ união estável (44; 54,3%). Negam etilismo e tabagismo (49; 60,5%), possuem duas patologias sistêmicas (35; 43,2%), duas condições crônicas associadas à visão (30; 37,0%), um achado para diagnóstico de DMRI (33, 40,7%), nenhum tratamento para DMRI (49; 60,5%). Foram utilizados medicamentos para o sistema cardiovascular (84; 56,8%) e trato alimentar e metabolismo (45; 30,4%), 54 (66,6%) não possuíam glaucoma, 22 (27,2%) possuíam risco potencial de interações tipo C, conforme a classificação ATC/OMS. Os medicamentos mais envolvidos em potenciais interações medicamentosas foram os para o Sistema Cardiovascular (77; 39,7%) e Trato Alimentar e Metabolismo (57; 29,4%). 21 (25,9%) pacientes relatam melhora da visão após IIV de Ranibizumabe. Concluímos que há necessidade de maior atenção no preenchimento dos prontuários, implementação de práticas para maior adesão ao tratamento, detecção de possíveis interações medicamentosas e possíveis reações adversas a medicamentos.

A indústria de petróleo movimenta grande parte de seus recursos para a exploração e produção de óleo e gás natural presentes em rochas carbonáticas e areníticas, de modo a garantir e atender à crescente demanda energética mundial. Diante deste cenário, torna-se necessário a utilização de técnicas capazes de viabilizar a produção de hidrocarbonetos, e, dentre elas, está a acidificação de matriz, que tem por objetivo injetar soluções ácidas, geralmente com ácido clorídrico ou com ácidos orgânicos, em formações rochosas a pressões inferiores à pressão de fraturamento desses reservatórios, formados canais de alta permeabilidade, chamados wormholes, removendo o dano à formação e aumentando sua produtividade. Este trabalho objetiva, através de uma revisão bibliográfica, reunir os dados referentes à técnica de acidificação de matriz utilizando ácidos orgânicos, já que a utilização de ácido clorídrico já é bastante relatada na literatura, destacando suas aplicações em reservatórios carbonáticos. As características dos principais ácidos orgânicos (acético, fórmico, lático e fórmico) serão apresentadas, assim como seus efeitos em rochas carbonáticas. A partir das análises, observa-se que os ácidos orgânicos são considerados ácidos fracos, com ação retardada na dissolução química com carbonatos, mostrando uma baixa taxa de dissociação de íons H+ nos processos de acidificação, mas que isso aumenta o tempo de contato entre a solução ácida e a rocha, favorecendo a formação/penetração de wormholes a profundidades maiores. Destaca-se a formação de sais insolúveis como produto de reações químicas e a liberação de CO2 que impede a dissolução completa da rocha como pontos negativos na sua utilização; baixa corrosividade e utilização de baixas taxas de injeção para aplicação são destacados como pontos positivos. A combinação de ácidos fortes com ácidos orgânicos também pode ser citada como alternativa que reúne os benefícios dos dois tipos de ácidos, formando soluções ácidas mais eficientes a serem aplicadas durante a acidificação de matriz.

Статья посвящена проблеме невербального общения родителей с детьми в семьях с различной удовлетворенностью браком. Становление личности ребенка происходит под влиянием различных социальных факторов, но отправной точкой этого становления является именно семья. От того какие взаимоотношения характеризовали внутрисемейную атмосферу, в которой рос ребенок, зависит его дальнейшая жизнь. Особую роль, на наш взгляд, играет общение родителей с ребенком, так как оно отражает неосознаваемые и неконтролируемые чувства и установки по отношению к ребенку. В статье предпринята попытка исследовать и описать особенности общения, характерные для детско-родительских отношений в семьях удовлетворенных и неудовлетворенных браком.

Published: March 2024

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a mental condition that affects people’s learning, communication, and expression in their daily lives. ASD usually makes it difficult to socialize and communicate with others, and also sometimes shows repetition of certain behaviors. ASD can be a cause of intellectual disability. ASD is a big challenge in neural development, specially in children. It is very important that it is identified at an early stage for timely guidance and intervention. This research identifies the application of deep learning and vision transformer (ViT) models for classification of facial images of autistic and non-autistic children. ViT models are powerful deep learning models used for image classification tasks. This model applies transformer architectures to analyze input image patches and connect the information to achieve global-level information. By employing these techniques, this study aims to contribute toward early ASD detection. ViT models are showing good results in identifying facial features associated with ASD, leading toward early diagnostics. Results show the ViT model’s capability in distinguishing the faces of autistic and non-autistic children.

Optimizing Patient Outcomes in Orthognathic Surgery: A Proposed Nutritional Protocol for Weight Loss Control and Bone Formation
Authors: Correia Lima Bernardo , Grillo Ricardo , Alvarez Quinta Reis Bruno , Peral Ferreira Pinto Leonardo Augustus , Melhem-Elias Fernando
Published: March 2024

Objective: The primary objective of this research was to conduct a comprehensive literature review, offering an in-depth examination of the nutritional considerations associated with orthognathic surgery and suggest a perioperative nutritional protocol for enhanced recovery.
Methods: To achieve this objective, the authors rigorously examined existing literature while adhering to the guidelines outlined in PRISMA-ScR. The scope of eligible studies encompassed various types, with the exclusion of case reports and reviews. The research applied specific inclusion criteria, concentrating on the nutritional aspects relevant to perioperative and/or postoperative phases of major maxillofacial surgery.
Results: A total of 39 articles were identified that met the screening criteria. These articles were then used to generate a discussion and propose a protocol aimed at reducing body weight loss following major maxillofacial surgery and improving bone formation post-osteotomies.
Conclusions: While the realm of maxillofacial surgery sees significant advancements in other fields, there exists a noticeable gap in addressing the nutritional status of surgical patients. This oversight can potentially lead to suboptimal postoperative outcomes. Recognizing the pivotal role of nutrition in enhancing surgical results, this paper emphasizes the importance of maintaining optimal nutritional status among orthognathic surgery patients.

ДВА КОМПЛЕКСА ДЖУЧИДСКИХ МОНЕТ КОНЦА XIII – НАЧАЛА XIV ВВ. ИЗ ОКРЕСТНОСТЕЙ БОЛГАРА (ТАТАРСТАН)
Authors: Бугарчев Алексей , Купцов Андрей
Published: March 2024

Публикация посвящена единичным находкам золотоордынских монет, битых в булгарском вилайате, случайно обнаруженным в окрестностях Болгара (Татарстан) и зафиксированным авторами. Всего учтено 30 серебряных дирхамов. В результате изучения установлено, что среди них есть монеты с названием монетных дворов Булгар, Биляр и без указания названия монетного производства. Все экземпляры относятся к выпускам   второй половины XIII – первой трети XIV в. Это дирхамы и фракции, чеканенные при первых правителях Джучидского ханства – Менгу-Тимуре, Туда-Менгу, соправителе Кунчеке, а также, анонимные недатированные монеты последней четверти XIII – первой четверти XIV в. Обнаружено много редких типов монет. Причем, увеличение статистики количества экземпляров каждого из типов монет в совокупности с информацией об их весовых характеристиках, позволили в ряде случаев обнаружить моду (значение веса при котором наблюдается максимальное количество монет данного типа). Нам не известны точные координаты мест находки этих двух изучаемых комплексов, однако, соприсутствие нескольких однотипных редких экземпляров в каждом из сборов является полезной информацией для дальнейшего изучения особенностей булгарского денежного обращения в XIII – начале XIV в.
