Authors: Eneh Agozie , Ebem Deborah  U. , Jiya Eli A. , Etuh Emmanuel , Raskeb Bulus
Published: November 2024

Preeclampsia is a significant complication in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and damage to organs, posing serious risks to both the mother and fetus. Early prediction and management are crucial for improving outcomes. In Nigeria, where healthcare resources are often limited, and prenatal care access can be uneven, advanced predictive models can enhance early detection and intervention. This paper developed machine learning-based classifiers and predictors of preeclampsia. The data used was collected from general hospital Hunkuyi, Kaduna state, Nigeria. The models were based on Adaboost, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Naïve Bayes (NB) algorithms.  In both classification and prediction of preeclampsia among the population studied, SVM has 0 error in MAE, RMSE, RAE and ERSE, with accuracy level of 100%. Adaboost and NB had accuracy levels of 98% and 85%, which are very good. This paper recommends the use of these models for prediction of onset of preeclampsia among pregnant women in Hunkuyi and Kaduna state. Since the data used to develop the models represent impartially the various set of people within the state, it can be used for all women. we believe the models can assist the health personnel to predict onset of preeclampsia and help proper planning and intervention. It will also reduce maternal and child mortality that could result for preëclampsia.

Authors: Nykänen Mikko , Klemola Soili , Koivisto Petri , Koski Merja , Larvi Tommy , Silvonen Jussi , Vuori Jukka
Published: November 2024

El método “School to work” es un programa de capacitación para adultos, que tiene como objetivo el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas y sociales para la búsqueda de empleo. Está basado en el método publicado por la Universidad de Míchigan con el nombre de JOBS (Manual para Enseñarle a la Gente Estrategias Exitosas de Búsqueda de Trabajo). Fue traducido al finlandés y publicado por el Instituto Finlandés de Salud Ocupacional como Työn. La traducción y edición en español fue realizada por Jorge Santana, Priscila Yahel Muñoz, Carolina Avalos y Luis Enrique Regalado para el Proyecto de Investigación “Trayectoria laboral en egresados universitarios: habilidades sociocognitivas y capital social en la inserción, permanencia y separación del trabajo”, dirigido por el doctor Javier Ruvalcaba Coyaso.

A partir del trabajo conjunto entre el Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (FIOH) y la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, se autorizó a la UAA, para que se tuviera la primera versión del Método en idioma español. En el marco de esta colaboración, se crearon escenarios de discusión sobre diferentes líneas de investigación sobre el desempleo, pero lo más relevante, fue el descubrimiento del método School to Work, que se implementaba en Finlandia a través del FIOH. Éste se aplicaba con estudiantes de último grado de bachillerato, que transitaban de la educación formal, al mercado laboral.

Este manual y lo que representa en términos de aplicabilidad, es una de esas estrategias para formar a las personas en la búsqueda de un trabajo; su principal objetivo es favorecer el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivo-sociales en estudiantes que están a punto de egresar, para que tengan una transición exitosa al mercado de trabajo. ¿Qué se pretende además de favorecer una transición exitosa al mercado laboral? Coadyuvar en la adquisición y desarrollo de habilidades cognitivo-sociales para enfrentar el reto de encontrar empleo, pero también que puedan trasladarlas a su vida cotidiana: no se trata de que adquieran una estrategia específica, sino que la utilicen en cualquier otro ámbito de sus vidas.

Published: November 2024

The human resource management (HRM) practices have been broadened to include a workplace spirituality (WS) dimension to increase employee loyalty to the organization. Employee loyalty plays a significant role in organizational development as well as economic growth around the world. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating role of gender between workplace spirituality (WS) and employee loyalty (EL) in the Nigerian public sector. This study adopts a quantitative research approach. A survey, using a questionnaire, was conducted to obtain data from 500 public sector employees in Lagos state Nigeria. Structural Equation Modeling analysis using AMOS version 22 was conducted to determine the moderating role of gender between workplace spirituality and employee loyalty. The findings reveal that there is a strong causal relationship between workplace spirituality and employee loyalty in the Lagos state public sector. However, the worker’s gender does not moderate the relationship between workplace spirituality and employees’ loyalty. The study also establishes valid measures for workplace spirituality and employee loyalty constructs. It is evident from the findings that workplace spirituality is an underlying factor to reckon with in motivating an employee to be loyal to their organization.  Hence, this study supports the use of workplace spirituality as one of human resource management practices dimension in the organization.

Authors: Fajaruddin Achmad , Bimantara Andika Rendra , Lesmana Meichio Lesmana , Husni Indra Sholeh , Rosmitha Siti Nurma
Published: November 2024

Tourism holds significant promise for Indonesia's economy, a fact recognized by the government. Recent attention in the tourism sector has centered on the advancement of Muslim-friendly tourism, an initiative supported by OIC nations, including Indonesia, due to its considerable potential. Consequently, the Ministry of Tourism has initiated the selection of regions as Muslim-friendly tourism hubs, with the Special Region of Yogyakarta being one such area. Despite this, Yogyakarta still lags behind in terms of service indicators, as highlighted in the IMTI. This study focuses on Sleman Regency, the most tourist-laden area in Yogyakarta province. The service indicators encompass aspects like Mosques, Hotels, Halal Restaurants, Airports, and Attractions, indicating the necessity for further development to bolster Muslim-friendly tourism in Yogyakarta, particularly within Sleman Regency. The research aims to scrutinize the evolution of tourist spots and the promotion of Muslim-friendly tourism in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, utilizing a qualitative methodology with a case study approach. Findings suggest that the full potential of Muslim-friendly tourism in Sleman Regency remains unrealized due to the local government's unclear perception of the concept. Consequently, there's a call for a shift towards community-based tourism, with a focus on tourist villages. Additionally, efforts are underway to intensify the halal certification process for all food and restaurant businesses, spearheaded by the government and LPPOM. It's also imperative for tourism managers in Sleman Regency to prioritize services, particularly in accommodation and ensuring the availability of halal dining options to cater to Muslim travelers.

Published: November 2024

Stock markets serve as vital components of financial markets, providing avenues for short and long-term capital investment. The coexistence of two entities, namely Shariah Compliant Shares (SCS) and Non-Shariah Compliant Shares (NSCS) as supervised by the Shariah Advisory Council of the Securities Commission of Malaysia (SACSCM) characterizes Malaysia as a unique financial market. Stock return is a good indicator of a company’s performance, and many variables are said to have an impact on stock return. This study aims to investigate how firm size and price-earnings ratio would influence the stock return of a company. A total of 63 companies were selected consisting of 32 Shariah compliance companies and 31 conventional companies. Data from January 2018 until December 2022 were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. This study discovered there is a significant negative relationship between firm size and stock return for SCS and NSCS indicating small companies often make higher returns than large companies. Meanwhile, the price-earnings ratio insignificantly affects the stock return, especially for NSCS. Whether the shares are Shariah compliant or Non-Shariah compliant, firm size has a more significant impact on stock return. To maximize shareholder wealth, the company will prioritize maintaining the optimal firm size, and investors will consider the firm size when planning their investment portfolios. The findings offer valuable insights for future research, companies, and investors seeking guidance on choosing shares for potentially higher returns.

Authors: Priantina Anita , Mohd Sapian Safeza , Shafii Zurina , Ibrahim Norhazlina
Published: November 2024

This research explores the critical need for sustainable funding to support the obligatory halal certification of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in Indonesia. Mandatory halal certification, which ensures products meet Islamic dietary laws, was introduced to promote consumer trust and expand market opportunities. However, MSEs often face significant challenges due to limited financial resources, hindering their ability to comply with certification requirements. The study aims to understand the financial challenges faced by MSEs in meeting halal certification requirements and to propose viable solutions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, including MSE owners, certification bodies, and financial institutions. A content analysis of the interview data was conducted to identify common themes and insights. The findings reveal significant barriers to obtaining halal certification, primarily due to the high costs involved and the limited financial resources of MSEs. The study underscores the necessity for a comprehensive funding strategy to ensure that halal certification is accessible and sustainable for all MSEs, ultimately contributing to their growth and the broader economic development of Indonesia. Recommendations include the implementation of government subsidies, financial incentives, and partnerships with private sectors to alleviate the financial burden on MSEs.

Published: November 2024

In this study, we explore strategies in mitigating climate change implemented by listed companies in the palm oil industry in Malaysia. The results based on 129 firm-years from 2018 to 2020 show that the majority of the climate change mitigation strategies focused on the governance and legitimation aspects. Less attentions were given to compensation and innovation aspects, particularly on market entrance related to low-carbon features. Focusing on the sector and stakeholder engagements, the results reveal four types of climate change strategic response portrayed by the palm oil companies examined. These are indifferent, beginner, emerging, and active. This study has contributed to the climate change literature, particularly within emerging markets, by demonstrating that palm oil companies' climate change mitigation strategies are evolving in response to various initiatives within the palm oil industry.

Authors: Agusdiwana Suarni  , Muh. husain  , Nurlina
Published: November 2024

Mosques, as a type of non-profit organization that manages money from the community, are required to have systematic, transparent, and accountable money management. This research aims to determine how mosque financial management can enhance community empowerment in the Muhammadiyah mosque, Jeneponto district, and Takalar district. The research conducted a qualitative study involving five mosques, with informants including the chairman, secretary, treasurer, and three mosque congregations. The research results indicate that the financial managers of Muhammadiyah Mosques in Jeneponto Regency and Takalar Indonesia Regency lack the necessary accounting skills to prepare books and financial reports for their mosques. The management of the Muhammadiyah Mosque still prepares very simple financial reports, focusing solely on income and expenditure. Mosques still do not have a special program that addresses the economic empowerment of the congregation. However, if professional resources assist them, mosques have great potential to empower the people's economy.

This is a well-known challenge in the Islamic banking sector in particular; however, this research shows that little is being done to achieve unified digitalization in operations. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a disruptive force in the financial sector, promising increased financial inclusion, economic development, and a excess of efficient, transparent, Shariah-compliant financial solutions due to its integration of technology with Islam’s profound ethical principles. The objective of this paper is to study the potential and challenges of AI implications in Islamic Banks. This is a qualitative study using focus group interviews with five Islamic Banking experts consists of Shariah Committee Member, academic experts and Islamic banking executive from different banks in Malaysia. SC members from different Islamic banks.  Following the interviews, a thematic analysis of the transcribed data was conducted using computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software. The participants were generally receptive towards the utilization of AI tools in the Islamic banks which give a significant impact of the Islamic banking landscape. The participants recognize the potential of AI for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the Islamic banking operations. However, they raised some concerns about the challenges that need to be addressed such as replacing of manpower with AI in some area in Islamic banks. The novelty of this research provides a novel discussion of potential and challenges of AI implications in Islamic banks and at the same time add to the Islamic banking literature in this area. The size of the focus group was limited to five participants to optimize group size and composition to allow adequate participation by each group member. Further sampling from more SC members and experts may elicit additional findings. The first-hand views from the focus group interviews provides valuable input for potential and challenges of adopting AI in the Islamic banking operations.

Authors:   Autoimmune Bullous Diseases Research Centre, Department of Dermatology, Razi Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, Balighi Kamran
Published: November 2024

Background
Macular amyloidosis (MA) is a chronic pruritic skin condition characterized by hyperpigmentation, primarily affecting the
back and extensor surfaces of the extremities. The exact etiology remains unknown; however, genetic and environmental factors,
such as chronic friction, appear to play a role. An association between atopic dermatitis and cutaneous amyloidosis has been
reported.
Methods
This study evaluates the prevalence of atopy in 40 patients diagnosed with MA.
Results
Atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis were observed in 20%, 8%, and 20% of patients, respectively. A positive family
history of atopy was noted in 90% of patients. Pruritus was significantly more severe in patients with atopic dermatitis (p-value
= 0.003).
Conclusions
We recommend considering both personal and family histories of atopy when assessing patients with MA

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Early childhood caries is a significant public health problem among preschool children. The COVID-19 pandemic,
which restricted dental services, altered family dynamics, affected child development, and created new caregiver demands, may have
exacerbated this issue.
Objective: Analyze the occurrence and severity of caries and identify associated factors in preschool children attending public municipal
daycare centers in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
Methodology: A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted to investigate caries in children aged 2 to 5 years in 2022 and
2023. Caries were assessed using the Decayed, Extracted, Filled, and Missing Teeth (DEFT) index, and prevalence was calculated.
Sociodemographic, family dynamic, dietary, and healthcare utilization data were obtained through a questionnaire. After descriptive and
exploratory analyses, robust Poisson multivariable regression was conducted at a 5% significance level, considering socioeconomic,
psychosocial, and behavioral aspects.
Results: 440 preschoolers participated, with a mean age of 55 months. The majority were Black or mixed race (88.86%) and female
(52.73%). The prevalence of caries was 30.91% and the mean DEFT score was 1.1. In the multivariable analysis, low family income
(up to one minimum wage) and not playing outdoors during the pandemic were associated with a higher prevalence of caries.
Conclusion: The prevalence and severity of caries remain high, and the pandemic has contributed to the maintenance of this
epidemiological scenario. Public health measures and policies promoting social justice should be planned to improve oral health
conditions in childhood.

Authors:   Assistant Professor and researcher at Arba Minch University, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Public Health Department of Health Informatics, Ethiopia, Gilano Girma
Published: November 2024

Introduction
Over decades, the efforts to tackle under-five mortality have not adequately addressed the problem in underdeveloped
countries such as Ethiopia. Ethiopia developed transformation plan targets based on UNICEF and sustainable development
goals. However, under-five mortality remained the major cause of loss of lives in the country due to inadequate evidence to
trigger large-scale intervention. The current study aims to identify the associated factors of under-five mortality to enhance
future policy decisions.
Methods
According to the study criteria, we extracted and cleaned data in STATA v. 15.0. The data was then weighted as per
the sampling weight, primary sampling unit, and strata before analyzing in STATA 15.0. Data management consisted of
descriptive (mean, standard deviation, and proportion or percent) and association statistics. Binary logistic regression
was deliberated for this analysis and we checked each variable at 0.25 p-values to include in the model. The final p-value
to declare association was p <0.05 and AOR with 95% CI was also applied to describe the results. The data source was
the Ethiopian Mini Demographic Health Survey (EMDHS) 2019. EMDHS collected the data from 8,885 in a face-to-face
manner with a 99% response rate.
Results
From 5,527 numbers of weighted women under-five analyzed in this study, the proportion of under-five mortality was
277.23(5.02%). Factors like 2nd birth order 0.52(0.35, 0.79), 3rd-4th 0.49(0.28, 0.84), 1-2 ANC visits 0.24(0.12, 0.49, ANC
visit three’ 0.14(0.07, 0.28), ANC visit four and above 0.22(0.14, 0.36), in marriage mother 0.43(0.19, 0.96), ‘1-2 under-five
children 0.02(0.011, 0.03), and greater than three under-five children 0.007(0.0007, 0.004) were all negatively associated
with under-five mortality rate.
Conclusion
To obtain the exalted outcome out of this study, the government might need to increase antenatal care, women's education,
institutional delivery, and modern contraceptive methods use through enhanced community mobilization, health education
using community health workers, increasing access to essential cares of mothers and children, and birth interval.

The research aims to analyze the effect of the primary pulley slope angle on engine torque and fuel consumption of the Mio Sporty 115 CC motorbike. The inclination angle of the primary pulley based on factory standards is 14º. Changing the slope angle of the primary pulley using a lathe for angles of 12º, 13º and 13.5º. Testing was carried out using a dyno test machine, 3 data for each slope angle. The dyno test results consist of engine speed, torque, and power. Fuel consumption is obtained using calculations based on test data. Based on the analysis of test results and calculations, it is known that the slope angle of the primary pulley affects engine torque and fuel consumption of the Mio Sporty 115 CC motorbike. The 14º slope angle produces 6.35 torque, the 13.5º slope angle produces 6.47, the 13º slope angle produces 6.29 and the 12º slope angle produces 6.02. Meanwhile, for fuel consumption, slope angle 12º and 14º require fuel consumption of 0.19 l/hour, slope angle 13º & 13.5º require fuel consumption of 0.18 l/hour. Based on the highest torque and the lowest fuel consumption results, a slope angle of 13.5º is recommended.

Chapter 5. THE PROVOCATIVE ROLE OF SOVIET SPECIAL SERVICES AND PROPAGANDA IN THE PERIOD OF THE GERMAN-POLISH WAR OF 1939.
Authors: Shchehlov Andrii
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the proposed paper is a historiographical study of the Soviet Union Red Army and the NKVD provocative role at the initial stage of the Second World War – period of the German-Polish war and so-called Soviet troops «liberation campaign» in the southeastern provinces of Poland in modern Ukrainian historiography. An important place in the implementation of the Soviet plans for the occupation of Western Ukraine in September 1939 was given to the formation of «decent» motives for the inclusion USSR in the Second World War on the side of the aggressor – Germany, by means of manipulative and propaganda tools. Violating previous bilateral agreements with Poland and their international legal obligations, the Soviet special services and party structures actively undermined the internal political position of the Polish state in the territories of Eastern Galicia and Western Volhynia through the press and visual propaganda in the first weeks of September 1939, when the Polish Army put up a courageous resistance to German army from the west. The work, based on a careful study of modern Ukrainian historiography, analyzes in detail the provocative context of Soviet propaganda narratives according to the main themes, scope of application and objects of influence.
Aklın ve İmanın Işığında Hristiyanlığın Dogmalarına Bir Yaklaşım: Saint Origenes
Authors: Kahveci Kutsi
Published: November 2024

Orta Çağ felsefesinin birinci dönemine ‘Patristik Felsefe’ adı verilir. Patristik felsefe, M.S II ve VI. Yüzyıllar arası ‘Kilise Babaları’ egemenliği altında oluşan, Platon ve Yeni Platoncu bir felsefe anlayışıyla Hristiyanlığın temel inanç ve önermelerini savunan bir dönemdir. Patristik felsefenin 200-450 yılları arasındaki süreci ‘Altın Dönem’ olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Helenistik felsefe ile Hristiyanlık dini arasındaki etkileşim ve uzlaşım dönemi olan Altın dönem, aynı zamanda Hristiyanlık dogmalarını, Yunan düşüncesinin terminoloji ve kavramsal çerçevesiyle de ifade etme dönemidir. Kilise babaları arasında seçkin olanların ilki sayılan Altın Dönem’in en önemli düşünürlerinden birisi de Origenes Adamantıus’tur. Bu dönemde Hristiyan dogmalarıyla ilgili tartışmalar son ve kalıcı şeklini kazanmıştır. Origenes de, Hristiyanlığın Asli Günah ve Düşüş, Teslis ve Cisimleşme gibi dogmalarını, felsefi bir görüşle hem akıl hem de imanın ışığında açıklamaya çalışmış ve Hristiyanlıkla klasik felsefenin sentezine giden yolda ciddi adımlar atmıştır. Origenes, Hristiyanlığın dogmalarını açıklamaya çalışırken, Yunan felsefesinden fazlaca etkilenmiş olmasına rağmen, düşüncelerinin temelini her zaman İncil’e dayandırmış ve İncil’i tek vahiy kaynağı olarak kabul etmiştir. Aynı zamanda Origenes, çok önemli felsefi metinleri koleksiyonunu bir araya getirerek, Yunan felsefesine yaşamının erken dönemlerinde büyük bir ilgi göstermiştir. Daha sonraları Origenes, yaşamının geri kalanını kutsal kitabın açıklanmasına ve daha çok öğrencilerini, zengin Hellenistik entelektüel geçmişine dayanan, Hristiyan teolojisinin daha ince noktalarında eğitmeye adamıştır.
