Authors: Zakaria Noor Syakirah , Ahmad Syahruddin Awang
Published: July 2024

Harmonious working relationship that is built between employee and employer is the critical factor in ensuring success of an organisation. Hence, to uphold the interest of maintaining relationship of work against employer, trade union, employees along with government, multiple theories and models were introduced by previous scholars especially from the western perspective. Various aspects in relation to the system and working environment have been given attention in theory or model development such as economy, social and technology aspect. However, according to related literature research in theories and models that were suggested by past researchers, there has been an oversight on the role of religion in building harmonious work relationship. Whereas the role of religion plays an important role in forming a good identity of employee, employer as well as the government. Failure in highlighting the role of religion has also caused incompetency in work management due to  prolonged issues and conflicts of work resulting in various of industrial actions such as pickets and strikes. Most of past theories and models were oriented on profit and work management that have been executed solely to realise the goals of one party which is employer or capitalist, while, the other party, the employee will continue to be oppressed. In other words, implementation of work system that overseeing the role of religion will create injustice and tyranny against employees. Hence, this research aims to analyse the inculturation of Ubudiyyah, Mas’uliyyah and Iqtan (UMI) principles. This research used the approach of al-Quran and al-Hadis content analysis as well as past research related to industry and work relationships. In this research, work relations practice pioneered by western countries will be re-evaluated using the inculturation of Ubudiyyah, Mas’uliyyah and Iqtan (UMI) principles approach. Based on this research analysis, there is a need to make the Ubudiyyah, Mas’uliyyah and Iqtan (UMI) principles as part of conventional work relations practice through enculturation process of all UMI principles in managing employer and employee relations. Work management that emphasises on the three principles will be able to make a better and fair work relation practice to both parties i.e. employer and employee.

Authors: Saidin Maisarah , Zakaria Nur Farihah , Mohd Najib Nurul Najaa , Zainudin Afiqah Najihah
Published: July 2024

Education related to manners, ethics, and good behaviour is extremely important for all individuals, including children with autism. These kids can communicate with people in a proper and socially acceptable way by learning etiquette. Children with autism frequently struggle with communicating, as is well recognized. Therefore, learning etiquette can assist them in acquiring effective communication skills, including speaking politely and listening attentively. But it's difficult to teach manners to kids with autism because there aren't any learning tools available for them. With the development of technology, it is now necessary to customise learning tools for autistic children in order to meet their unique demands. In order to learn effectively, these kids heavily rely on technology aid. Hence, this study will identify suitable etiquette and behaviour to be practiced by autistic children using quotes from the Hadith that pertain to Islamic manners. The study will also develop a practical video on Islamic etiquette as a learning tool against autistic children. In order to facilitate the structuring and analysis of the data collection, the research design of this study used the qualitative technique. The ADDIE paradigm is used in this study's production of instructional videos for autistic kids. The findings of this study suggest that making instructional movies for kids with autism is essential to assisting them in understanding the Islamic etiquette.

Authors: Md Saleh Zubaidah , Subramaniam Geetha , Mohd Shariff Nurul Munira
Published: July 2024

Mathematics is the basis for numerous technical skills imparted in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutes. As one of the TVET institutions, Polytechnic recognizes the importance of mathematics courses in its curriculum. Engineering, computer science, architecture, and manufacturing courses rely heavily on mathematical principles and concepts. Despite the importance of mathematics, the issue of underperformance in Elementary Mathematics courses among architecture students has been a significant issue for Polytechnic institutions. Some architecture students may require assistance understanding the direct applicability of specific mathematical topics to their field of study. They may perceive mathematics courses as arduous, demanding, intricate, and challenging to succeed in. The presence of negative thoughts significantly led to the development of mathematical anxiety. This anxiety can hinder their ability to solve problems and perform to their full potential in mathematics courses. Therefore, this study investigates the correlation between mathematics anxiety and problem-solving skills among architecture students. The study utilizes a quantitative research design, employing a questionnaire and a problem-solving test. This study used convenience sampling to select 45 Diploma in Architecture students who took Elementary Mathematics in semester one. The data collected is analysed using descriptive and correlation analyses. The study results indicated that mathematics anxiety is present among architecture students. Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was observed between mathematics anxiety and the mathematical problem-solving abilities of architecture students enrolled in elementary mathematics courses. It indicates that their abilities to solve mathematical problems decreases as their mathematics anxiety increases. Consequently, mathematics anxiety is a factor that influences the problem-solving abilities of students. Hence, educators must strive to understand mathematics anxiety and implement innovative pedagogical approaches to overcome their anxiety. Ultimately, the insights gained from the research will contribute to the current body of literature concerning mathematics anxiety and its ramifications for problem-solving within architecture education.

La figure du père. À travers quelques contes maghrébins
Authors: Ouerhani Nejib
Published: July 2024

L’article présente dans un premier temps la diversité des conceptions que certaines sociétés du monde auraient du père. En effet, le père et la paternité, à la lumière des recherches qu’ont entrepris certains ethnologues, n’apparaissent pas comme des notions définies au contenu universel. Dans un deuxième temps, il analyse quelques représentations symboliques du père : l’ogre, le chien, le loup, le serpent, et leur signification, véritables mises en scène du conflit avec le père. Enfin, il met en évidence l’ambivalence de l’image paternelle que véhiculent les contes : le père, s’il nous est présenté comme le protecteur de la famille et son défenseur, n’en est pas moins terrible, devenant parfois un véritable ennemi à l’arbitraire écrasant.

La propagation de la Covid-19 a entraîné la fermeture des établissements scolaires, obligeant enseignant-es à devoir repenser leurs méthodes d’encadrement des apprenants. L’enseignement à distance est alors testé. Cette « nouvelle manière » s’est confrontée autant aux pratiques enseignantes qu’au contexte de leur mise en œuvre dans le Sahel. Les enseignant-es ont gardé des liens pédagogiques durant cette période et ont continué à préparer les élèves aux examens. Cette période aura permis une réflexivité et des « bricolages » salutaires dans les manières d’enseigner. Elle aura également été révélatrice d’inégalités dans la pratique enseignante, notamment pour les enseignantes qui doivent davantage s’ajuster aux univers familiaux et culturels.

Rudy Wiebe and Yvonne Johnson’s Stolen Life: the Journey of a Cree Woman: A Peregrination Through Gender and Genre
Authors: Omhovère Claire
Published: July 2024

In Stolen Life, two distinct authors address each other’s demand for narrative across the divides of gender and genre. Their respective demands sometimes intersect, sometimes diverge, almost always displace the other’s story towards what one collaborator wants to learn from the other. Instead of the politically-correct arithmetic of giving and taking to which we have grown accustomed, this book presents us with a less calculable, because hybrid, product – a ‘less than one and double’ narrative engaging what remains out of reach in the stranger’s story.
Financing Management and Social Information
Authors: Li Minyang , Lin Boqiang
Published: July 2024

China's robust renewable energy sector expansion has spurred academic inquiry into the underlying driving forces. Recent studies have highlighted the correlation between the growth of renewable energy and project financing and the pivotal role of information management in financing. Based on this, we use business data from Chinese listed companies from 2007 to 2021 to investigate the relationship between renewable energy business development and financing. Furthermore, we introduce social and enterprise information to explore their impact on this relationship. Our findings reveal that: (1) Expansion of renewable energy businesses enhances fund availability mainly through endogenous financing. (2) “Anti-dumping and countervailing” (“Double-anti”) investigations significantly hinder financing for expanding renewable energy businesses, while industrial policies mitigate these effects. (3) Complex international backgrounds combined with domestic market-government interactions promote renewable energy enterprises to apply information management technology for financing.
The Impact of Fintech Development on Commercial Banks' Profitability
Authors: Mansour Nadia
Published: July 2024

Fintech is the creative application of technology in developing and delivering financial products and services. Studying its impact on the banking sector, mainly commercial banks, is interesting. Using panel data of 210 Chinese commercial banks from 2011-2018, fixed effects estimation was used to examine the impact of Fintech development on banks' profitability. The findings indicate that Fintech development is significantly and negatively related to bank performance, i.e., Fintech development significantly weakens bank performance. The results are robust to using different Fintech and bank profitability indicators based on endogeneity analysis. On this basis, the heterogeneity factor of the above relationship is also investigated, and it is found that loose monetary policy weakens the negative effect of Fintech on bank profitability. Moreover, for commercial banks with solid monopoly power, the negative impact of Fintech on their performance is mitigated accordingly.

This cross-sectional study included 150 pregnant women from the Odumegwu Ojukwu University and Enugu State University Teaching Hospitals. Forty-five age-matched nonpregnant women served as controls. Blood samples were collected for coagulation studies, complete blood counts, and measurement of von Willebrand factor parameters. Data were collected from January 2021 to August 2022, and bleeding severity was assessed using the International Society for Thrombosis and Haemostasis-Bleeding Assessment Tool. Categorical variables are represented as frequencies and percentages. The Kruskal–Wallis test and descriptive statistics were performed for continuous variables. Dunn’s multiple comparison test was performed for the groups, whereas the Mann–Whitney U test was used for the two groups. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results:

Postpartum hemorrhage (38%) was the most prevalent symptom. Levels of VWF: Ag, FVIII, and VWF:CB increased as pregnancy progressed but were significantly lower in pregnant women with a history of bleeding. A low FVIII:C/VWF:Ag ratio (<0.7) suggested hemophilia A or 2NVWD, with further differentiation possible through assays or genetic analyses of the F8 and VWF genes. A low discordance (<0.7) VWF:CB/Ag ratio may indicate VWD types 2A, 2B, 2M, or PT.

Conclusion:

Thus, additional evaluations using assays such as ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation, multimer analysis, and genetic testing are needed, although these may be unavailable in resource-limited settings.
Evaluation of the Predictors of Mortality in Very Low Birth Weight Neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit – A Hospital-based Prospective Observational Study
Authors: Gupta Rishabh , Sehra Ram Narain , Verma Suniti
Published: July 2024

Introduction:

Very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates are defined by birth weight ≤1500 g. They constitute 4%–7% of all neonates but contribute >30% of all neonatal deaths. Assessment of factors predicting mortality in such infants, both maternal and neonatal, can help us prioritize our resources and improve our health structure.

Aim:

The aim was to study factors affecting neonatal mortality in VLBW neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Materials and Methods:

This hospital-based prospective observational study was conducted on neonates ≥26 weeks and birth weight ≤1500 g admitted in the NICU. Predesign structured pro forma was made for history and data collection. Detailed antenatal and natal history was taken, neonates were examined along the course of treatment, and the outcome was recorded in the form of discharge and death. All tests were performed at a 5% level of significance; thus, an association was significant if P < 0.05. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were done to determine the predictors of mortality.

Results:

One hundred newborns were enrolled, of which 32 expired. Respiratory distress syndrome followed by sepsis was the major cause of death. Univariate analysis showed that primigravida, history of premature rupture of membrane, anemia, meconium-stained liquor, maternal fever, use of antenatal steroids, fetal distress, resuscitation requirement, gestational age, Apgar score, need for surfactant, and delayed capillary refill time were found to be directly linked with neonatal mortality. On multivariate analysis, requirement of resuscitation (P = 0.001), gestational age ≤30 weeks (P = 0.032), the need for surfactant (P = 0.036), anemia (P = 0.019), maternal fever (P = 0.003), use of antenatal steroid (P = 0.031), and fetal distress (P = 0.02) were found to be significant predictors of neonatal mortality.

Conclusions:

Most of the predictors can be managed by following proper treatment protocols and implementing newer policies. Therefore, emphasis should be given to prevention, early anticipation, and management of these predictors and building better health infrastructure.
Compression sutures alone to treat acute hydrops in a case of post-laser in situ keratomileusis ectasia and review of literature
Authors: Ahuja Bharti , Gujar Prateek
Published: July 2024

This is a case report of acute hydrops in a patient with post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ectasia treated with compression sutures. A patient with post-LASIK ectasia presented with acute hydrops in the left eye. Full-thickness compression sutures were applied to appose the edges of the Descemet tear, and this resulted in a rapid resolution of stromal edema and interface fluid. The patient had the best distance visual acuity of 6/18 at the last follow-up. Compression sutures only were useful in this case to hasten the resolution of stromal edema and interface fluid.
A case report: Severe retinopathy of unknown cause: Poorly controlled diabetes or chronic myeloid leukemia? Or both?
Authors: Mallick Pauline , Wechsler David , Tiuseco Karen
Published: July 2024

This report highlights a case of a 60-year-old Chinese male presenting with severe bilateral retinopathy caused by an incidental finding of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). CML retinopathy is caused by hyperviscosity and toxin-mediated endothelial injury, which, by causing retinal ischemia, upregulates vascular endothelial growth factor and causes neovascularization. This ischemic angiogenic stimulus is also present in T2DM, manifesting as similar retinopathic changes present in CML. This case highlights the importance of ophthalmologists providing a thorough workup to investigate the underlying cause of unknown retinopathy.

Published: July 2024

Clinical diagnosis of conjunctival amyloidosis is quite often difficult, given the diverse clinical manifestations. We report a rare case of primary conjunctival amyloidosis in a 26-year-old male patient in whom a presumptive diagnosis of amyloidosis could be made based on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS OCT) and was confirmed histopathologically from the excised specimen. AS OCT revealed multiple, hyperreflective, linear, wavy subepithelial stromal deposits suggestive of amyloidosis. Systemic evaluation by an internist and a hematologist was negative. Herein, we highlight the possible role of AS OCT in diagnosing conjunctival amyloidosis and propose its role as a follow-up tool thus far not described in literature.

Published: July 2024

We present a case report of a 52-year-old female who developed secondary glaucoma in aphakia following lens removal for traumatic cataract. A combined suture gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy with scleral fixated intraocular lens implantation using the extraocular needle-guided haptic insertion technique was performed. At 28 months postoperatively, her best corrected visual acuity was 6/9 with an intraocular pressure of 14 mmHg without antiglaucoma medications (AGM). We report the success of this combined procedure in a developing country like India where cost, compliance to AGM, and burden of vision impairment due to aphakia can be dealt with by this effective low-cost procedure.

Published: July 2024

Miller–Fisher syndrome is a rare subvariant of Guillian–Barre syndrome, presenting with ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. We present a 37-year-old male with progressive bilateral external ophthalmoplegia with moderate left-eye ptosis. He developed myalgia, ataxia, and absent deep tendon reflexes. He was initially treated with thiamine infusion and pyridostigmine because of possible Wernicke’s encephalopathy or myasthenia with no improvement. Lumbar puncture revealed acellular smear with high protein. He was switched to IV immunoglobulin therapy proceeding which he showed improvement. We present this case due to its unusual nature and complex diagnostic conundrum.
