Analisis Strategi Penghimpunan Dana Dalam Produk Deposito Mudharabah Pada KCP Bank Syariah Indonesia Sumberrejo Bojonegoro
Authors: Zulianto Aris , Rohmatullaili Novia , Maula Vina Lutfiatul
Published: November 2022

Dengan adanya perkembangan Bank Syariah yang begitu pesat di Indonesia, ternyata perkembangan tersebut tidak dibarengi dengan wawasan syariah yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat. Hal tersebut menyebabkan terjadinya kesenjangan yang membuat tidak banyak masyarakat yang memahami produk dan sistem yang diterapkan oleh Bank Syariah. Padahal, sebagian besar penduduk Indonesia adalah orang Islam yang seharusnya mengetahui dan memahami secara luas tentang produk dan jasa dalam perbankan syariah. Hal tersebut dilakukan dan dimaksudkan agar pemenuhan kebutuhan perekonomian masyarakat tidak seenaknya saja, tetapi berdasarkan pada prinsip syariah. Dalam operasionalnya, Perbankan Syariah menerapkan beberapa produk dengan berbagai macam akad. Produk operasional Perbankan Syariah, di antaranya adalah produk jasa, produk penyaluran dana dan produk penghimpunan dana. Penerapan dan sistem penghimpunan dana Bank Syariah dengan konvensional sangatlah berbeda karena Perbankan Syariah sendiri mempunyai akad syariah, salah satunya yaitu produk deposito mudharabah. Produk pengumpulan dana yang digunakan oleh Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Kantor Cabang Pembantu (KCP) Sumberrejo adalah menggunakan Deposito Mudharabah. Akad mudharabah yang dipilih adalah mudharabah muthlaqoh, sehingga Bank Syariah mendapatkan kebebasan untuk mengelola dana tersebut.

Introduction: Rectus diastases (RD) are caused by a weakening of the abdominal musculature and a widening of the linea alba. Some patients are often erroneously told that they are hernias. Despite the fact that they are not true hernias, they are often associated with true hernias and undergo concomitant repairs. Robotic plication of these diastases has been gaining more widespread use in the past few years, but literature regarding outcomes remains limited. Material and Methods: All patients with RD and concomitant ventral hernia that underwent robotic repair were assessed from 2016 to present. Demographics, perioperative morbidity, and outcomes were reviewed, and descriptive analyses were performed. Results: This series consists of 14 patients with an average age of 50.7 years (range 33–78 years), 64% female, and 86% Caucasian. All patients had associated umbilical or ventral/incisional hernia with an average defect size of 7.1cm2 and average mesh size of 254cm2. Robotic transabdominal pre-peritoneal (RTAPP) repair was performed in 67% of cases and robotic extended total extraperitoneal (ReTEP) repair was performed in 33%. Two patients (17%) required conversion to open repair. Hospital length of stay was 0.7 days. There was no morbidity in these patients. At an average follow-up of 2.6 years (range 54–2122 days), the hernia/diastasis recurrence rate is 7.1%. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that robotic plication with intraperitoneal sublay mesh could be an acceptable surgical approach for RD associated with concomitant ventral hernia repair. Further investigation is required to assess outcomes in a larger group of patients and to determine long-term recurrence and complication rates.

Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) represent a significant detriment to patient health by increasing mortality risk, negatively impacting quality of life, and increasing risk of complications such as infection. Prophylactic use of sacral foam dressings is known to decrease the occurrence of HAPIs in various patient populations. This retrospective study compared the effect of two multi-layer sacral foam dressings on HAPI incidence in patients admitted to a short-term, acute care hospital during the years 2015 (dressing one: Mepilex® Border Protect sacral dressing [Mölnlycke Healthcare AB, Göteborg, Sweden]) and 2017 (dressing two: Optifoam® Gentle LQ silicone faced foam & border sacral dressing [Medline Industries, LP, Northfield, Illinois]). Patient medical charts were examined for full sample (n=297) and subsample (n=284) analysis, respectively. The HAPI incidence for dressing two was found to be significantly less than dressing one (full sample: 5.12% compared to 10.79% [p=0.0001], and subsample: 4.07% compared to 9.31% [p=0.0001]). The incidence rate ratio (IRR) for dressing two was 0.39 for the full sample and 0.35 for the subsample, indicating that compared to dressing one, the HAPI count was approximately 40% lower for dressing two for the full sample and approximately 35% lower for dressing two for the subsample. These results demonstrate that dressing two performed better than dressing one in HAPI prevention. The results of this study may inform clinicians in their choice of prophylactic dressings.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which started in March of 2020, and its associated surges have had an immense impact on the ability of medical staff to perform their daily activities. Thus, we sought to direct patients who had gram-positive Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) to our Outpatient Department/Wound Care Center for treatment. We met the challenge of the pandemic by shifting care in the treatment of ABSSSI using a new antibiotic delivery system. We examined the use and cost-effectiveness of Dalbavancin, a unique long-acting lipoglycopeptide antibiotic that is used in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 631 patients were treated in the Outpatient Department/Wound Care Center, with re-evaluation at the Wound Care Center on Day 3 post-infusion. The primary test of cure or major improvement was based on a 4- to 6-week re-assessment by the Wound Care Center Faculty (i.e., Podiatric, Vascular, Plastics, and Infectious Diseases). Treatment effectiveness was determined by examining documentation at follow-up. We also looked at the number of Outpatient Department treatments at the Wound Care Center for the periods 2018-2019 and 2020-2021. The shift of patients from the Emergency Department/Inpatient Department to the Outpatient Department/Wound Care Center was made possible by the use of the novel, streamlined, safe, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved, well-tolerated antibiotic Dalbavancin. Dalbavancin is not prescribed for gram-negative infections, or for random prescribing, contamination, colonization, or prophylaxis. Dalbavancin has a low infusion reaction, low toxicity, long half-life, and low incidence of adverse reactions. Use of this medication was helpful for decreasing the inpatient burden in our facility.

Diabetes mellitus affects the function of the male reproductive system through glucose metabolism and endocrine influences of insulin. Glucose metabolism is an important event in spermatogenesis and the maintenance of the activity of specific functions of motility and the ability of spermatozoa to fertilize, and metabolic disorders are caused by absolute or relative insulin deficiency and insulin resistance, which leads to the degradation of male reproduction. Inadequate effects of insulin are aimed at changing the morphological and functional characteristics of the seed material, the physiological state of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, testicular function, testosterone synthesis and spermatogenesis disorders. Thus, this article elucidates the impact of diabetes on spermatogenesis and some insulin-dependent mechanisms on male fertility.

The study shows that the NH3 content in surface waters at pH 6.5–7.0 does not exceed the mandatory value for salmon and cyprinid waters of <= 0.025 mg/dm3. At pH 7,5 (15-200C, class IV) to pH 9,0 (5-200C, class I-IV) the value is exceeded 1.1-44.5 times. In the Protocol on Water and Health in the Republic of Moldova for the years 2016-2025, point 123, it is mentioned that there is a lack of monitoring on the quality of water for fish farming in artificial ponds. Thus, it is proposed to include NH3 in the surface water quality monitoring program, in particular to reduce the risk of toxicity to aquatic biota, protect or improve the maintenance of fish life.

The study deals with the significant role of judicial activism in different eras in Pakistan. It examines the role of judicial institutions in damaging the democratic culture of the country. Since the independence of Pakistan, frequent military interventions were validated by the Superior Judiciary of Pakistan. The study discussed these landmark cases which dented the doctrine of Separation of Power in the county. The concept of judicial review has been originated and developed in Britain, and later reached the US in Marbury v. Madison. The history of Pakistan is marred by several instances of Judicial Activism, in which the jurisdiction of the judiciary encroached upon the domain of legislature and executive. In this study, the activism of populist Judges, Justice Iftikhar Chaurdhty and Justice Saqib Nisar has been compared. Their Judicial actions have been discussed in which the domain of the executive has been compromised. The populist actions of Judges dent the independence of the Judiciary and lead to judicial impartiality, as in several cases, different verdicts are observed in the same nature cases. The study concluded by establishing the link between Judicial activism and Separation of powers, as all organs of the states have constitutional limits to work within, The researchers also proposed some judicial reforms, that will maintain the sanctity of the Doctrine of Separation of Power while exercising Judicial Activism. Keywords: Judicial Activism, Separation of Power, Judicial Review in Pakistan, Judicial Reforms.

Karachi is the leading metropolitan in Pakistan with the largest population and some additional attributes, including Transport intensity, and diverse business operations. The rising population increases the pressure on transport demand and to meet such mandates it is the responsibility of the state to ensure the supply of quality transport which is economically feasible and environmentally sustainable. BRTS was initiated to improve the quality of life through value addition in the existing transport. The rising trend of building BRTS is briskly on the rise in emerging countries across the world. The outcrop of shipping in big cities pursues to increase economic growth and alter the city's image for dwellers and interlopers. The goal of this research is to look at the use of the best possible substitute energy-saving methods in public transport. A decision-making efficiency analysis approach is used for the comparative study of both orthodox fuel and hybrid bus systems for Karachi city. In this paper, the application of an energy-based bus system is investigated in comparison to customary public transportation services in Karachi on a specific route. Except for one midway portion, the hybrid Bus system's efficiency remained better or comparable to the conventional value of 1. The study found that BRTs are sustainable solutions for big cities and they can be used instead of the customary bus system and it will serve as an energy-efficient and environmentally beneficial way out of public transport. The government of Sindh should promote such types of projects for the sustainable future of Karachi and its inhabitants. Keywords: Data Envelopment Analysis, Bus Rapid Transit, Green Line.

The Economic Freedom of the World Annual Report measures the degree to which the policies and institutions of countries are supportive of economic freedom. The cornerstones of economic freedom are personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to enter markets and compete, and security of the person and privately owned property. Forty-two data points are used to construct a summary index, along with a Gender Legal Rights Adjustment to measure the extent to which women have the same level of economic freedom as men. The degree of economic freedom is measured in five broad areas: Size of Government, Legal System and Property Rights, Sound Money, Freedom to Trade Internationally, and Regulation.
Cho Ramasamy’s Cāttiram Coṉṉatillai (The Scriptures Don’t Say So)
Authors: Rudisill Kristen
Published: November 2022

Brahmin playwright Cho Ramasamy (1934–2016) is one of Tamilnadu’s most important contemporary playwrights and thinkers. His 1979 Tamil play The Scriptures Don’t Say So (Cāttiram Coṉṉatillai) suggests that caste is located in natural qualities and merit rather than heredity by comically demonstrating the difference between abstract promotion of progressive ideas of intercaste marriage and the actual implementation of those philosophies in one’s own family. Following a brief introduction, I finish my original translation of an abridged version of The Scriptures Don’t Say So that I began in Ecumenica 15.1 (2022).

Ayn Rand, Nihilist?
Authors: Bissell Elizabeth
Published: November 2022

The author disagrees with Aaron Weinacht’s contention that Ayn Rand brought nihilism to America. Rand wrote about issues that concerned nihilist thinkers such as Nikolai Chernyshevskii, but she reacted in a profoundly different way to those issues. The differences are not merely political–insofar as the nihilists were socialist and Rand was a capitalist; they were much deeper.
Tracking the Rise and Fall of Wallaceism: Alfred Russel Wallace’s Darwinism and Its Transatlantic Influences
Authors: Cameron Lauren
Published: November 2022

Alfred Russel Wallace is generally presented as a footnote in scientific and cultural history, a young man whose letter spurred Darwin to publish his epoch-making On the Origin of Species, but little else. A spate of recent scholarly interest in him has, however, worked to recover his important and multifaceted place in British cultural history. This essay examines his positioning of himself as the standard bearer of Darwinian thought toward the end of his life and after much of Darwin’s scientific circle had died. His 1889 Darwinism subversively rewrites Darwin’s ideas and promotes what this article terms Wallaceism, a version of Darwinian evolutionary theory in which he positions himself as Darwin’s champion but also alters some of Darwin’s arguments in light of his own 1886–87 lecture tour of America. Analyzing public discourse on Wallace’s cultural reception from Anglo-American periodicals using both quantitative and qualitative methods, this essay comes to consider his rise to cultural prominence in the United States at the turn of the century and his subsequent fall.
Static Palace
Authors: Fridman Leora
Published: November 2022

In the face of unimaginably violent systems, our most vulnerable bodies — sick, disabled, unable to rise from bed — offer the resistance of imperative vulnerability. What can we learn from the body that cannot help but fail? How can porosity perform treachery within entrenched opressions? What kind of reading and relationship to text can enrich relationship instead of inscribing boundaries between us? What does it mean to accept the unacceptable, and what kind of power becomes available when we submit to forces larger than ourselves? How might we take refuge in discomfort, and in the process refuse the stale comforts offered by hyper-capitalist economics and white supremacy?

Static Palace, a collection of linked essays, weaves the writer’s experiences of chronic illness and activism under Trump rule to explore the possibility that arises from circumstances we often perceive as ruin: hopeless political systems, disabled bodies, narratives that stutter and do not complete themselves, the devastation of climate change. Spurred by the writer’s diagnosis with endometriosis and accompanying chronic conditions — which occurred immediately following the 2016 US Presidential Election — Static Palace is especially relevant in the context of rising fascism, pandemics, and the decay of social services and support networks.

A direct engagement with the patchwork, fragmented brain of digital life and sick brain, Static Palace is part lyric essay and part cultural criticism: it pulls from current events, including Black-led resistance movements and disability justice activism, and cites contemporary thinkers on gender, feminism, care, critical race, and disability studies towards an artful treatment of crisis and community. Its concerns move toward connection and inter-being. By threading a wide variety of theories and politics through the personal, Fridman seeks a fertile integrity through — and with — subjectivity. We witness a mind making, culling, and attempting to stave off isolation through intertextual and interpersonal conversation. This work complicates the meaning of belonging, family and tribe, challenges our impulses toward narrative resolution, and offers a nuanced understanding of interdependent being and thought.

Published: November 2022

This study aims to find out whether there is a relationship between growth opportunities and hedging. In the current era, all companies that have good growth opportunities will have a preference to expand their business activities to the international level. To reduce the risk of foreign exchange losses due to exchange rate fluctuations, the company will rely on hedging. However, this topic is still being debated because several previous research results have different results whether growth opportunity has an effect on hedging or not. This research uses a sample of state-owned companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2020 whose data is obtained through the documentation method. The method used is purposive sampling and logistic regression analysis to assess the effect and possibility of hedging decisions used based on their growth opportunities. The results of this study indicate that growth opportunities have a significant positive effect on hedging. This is because state-owned companies have a preference to expand their operational activity, and this thing potentially need international transaction and companies will involve on exchange rate fluctuation, so to reduce the potential losses, companies will need hedging.
