Authors: Firdaus Dwi Hidayatul , Ma’arif A. Samsul , Rouf Abd.
Published: January 2025

This study examines the role of Islamic tertiary institutions in strengthening the halal ecosystem in Indonesia through the establishment and operation of Halal Centers. These centers, acting as Halal Inspection Agencies (LPHs), are expected to significantly impact halalization efforts by integrating scientific knowledge with Islamic values, ultimately serving as hubs for halal studies. Through qualitative research on Halal Centers at five State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN), this study analyzes the individual contributions of each institution to generalize their collective role. The findings reveal that these institutions make significant contributions to the advancement of halal potential in Indonesia through three key roles: (a) developing human resources through the establishment and operationalization of Halal Centers; (b) increasing access to halal certification by functioning as LPHs, thereby incentivizing wider adoption of halal standards among businesses; and (c) promoting halal product research and business incubation, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These universities, leveraging their infrastructure, human resources, and expertise, are positioned to pioneer innovation and research within the halal sector. Furthermore, practical initiatives undertaken by these institutions include disseminating information on halal certification to MSME stakeholders and assisting with Halal Product Process (PPH) implementation.

Authors: Chanief Ahmad Za’iimul , Chotib Chotib , Mudzakkir Amin
Published: January 2025

This study analyzes the spatial influence of the Human Development Index (HDI) and net wages of informal workers on poverty rates in Central Java. Informal workers in Central Java have high poverty potential, so this study investigates the correlation between informal workers' net income and poverty rates in Central Java. Spatial analysis was also conducted to understand the spatial effects on the regression of HDI and informal workers' income on poverty. The theoretical framework includes the concepts of poverty, HDI, and informal workers. The data used in this study is data from 2022 with the dependent variable being the percentage of poverty, and the independent variables being HDI and the average monthly income of informal workers in each district/city in Central Java. The analysis method uses classical regression and spatial regression, each using Microsoft Excel and GeoDa applications. The results of the analysis show that HDI and the average net income of informal workers have a significant effect on the poverty rate in Central Java. Spatial analysis showed the existence of spatial clustering of poverty, and spatial regression confirmed the absence of spatial autoregression or spatial error in the model.

Impact of Radiation on Parasitoid Ecology: Unveiling Complex Interactions
Authors: KUMAR PRASANN , CHOUDHURY DEBJANI , SAHOO MOIRANGTHEM INDIRA DEVI AND JANMEJAY
Published: January 2025

Ionizing radiation, a formidable force with implications for ecosystems, has garnered increasing attention due to its potential to disrupt delicate ecological relationships. Parasitoids, the natural enemies of insect pests, are well known for their role in pest regulation and provide an insightful lens through which to explore the multifaceted impact of radiation on ecology. This review delves into the intricate interactions between radiation exposure and parasitoid behavior, physiology, reproduction, and population dynamics. Radiation-induced changes in parasitoid behavior encompass altered host-seeking strategies and disrupted flight patterns, which can undermine the efficiency of foraging and mating. On a physiological level, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and altered cellular functions result from radiation exposure, leading to reduced longevity, compromised reproduction, and changed fitness. Reproductive success, crucial for population growth, is susceptible to radiation's influence. Reduced egg-laying capacity, impaired ovary development, and embryonic mortality collectively contribute to declining population sizes. These changes in reproductive outcomes resonate through generations, potentially altering the structure of parasitoid populations. Population dynamics experience profound shifts due to radiation. Declining parasitoid populations can trigger unanticipated pest outbreaks by disrupting plant-insect interactions and cascading across trophic levels. Alternatively, parasitoids might adapt, evolving to tolerate radiation-induced stressors, affecting broader ecosystem interactions and community composition. Anticipating the long-term implications of radiation exposure on parasitoid ecology is a formidable challenge. Laboratory experiments offer insights, but extrapolating findings to natural ecosystems requires a nuanced understanding of ecological complexities. As the interdisciplinary study of radiation's impact on parasitoid ecology advances, it contributes not only to our comprehension of ecological disruptions but also to strategies for mitigating radiation's effects on delicate ecosystems..

Published: January 2025

The integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain in healthcare promises a significant transformation in data management, service quality improvement, and increased patient data security. Blockchain, by offering a decentralized and transparent platform, enhances the reliability and security of information. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence, with its ability to analyse and process data, helps identify patterns and predict treatment outcomes. The aim of this study is Evaluation and prioritization of artificial intelligence integrated blockchain factors in the healthcare supply chain using F-AHP and F-DEMATEL. Following a review of previous studies, four criteria and 23 sub-criteria were identified. In the first step, these criteria were ranked using the F-AHP method. In the second step, relationships among the sub-criteria were determined through F-DEMATEL, identifying causal and effect criteria. The F-AHP results show that among the 23 sub-criteria identified from previous studies, "integration of treatment processes (C32)", "Provide fair service (C31)", "health monitoring (C12)", "security of medical data (C34)", and "clinical decision support (C21)" ranked first to fifth, respectively. The F-DEMATEL results indicate that sub-criteria are divided into causal and effect categories, with "stakeholder participation (C42)" and "technology acceptance (C44)" being the most important causal sub-criteria, while "monitoring the treatment process (C15)" and "patient-centered treatment strategies (C22)" were identified as the most important effect sub-criteria. These findings suggest that the use of AI-blockchain integration in healthcare can lead to significant improvements in managing healthcare systems.

Published: January 2025

Mental health is a crucial aspect of well-being, especially among undergraduate nursing students. Nursing students face unique stressors that can impact their mental health. This study aimed to determine the anxiety and depression levels among undergraduate nursing students at Chattogram, Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study design was employed, and data were collected using an online questionnaire (Google form) that included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Convenience sampling was used to select 124 BSc Nursing students aged over 18 years. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 28. The majority of participants were female (88.3%), and the mean age was 20.58 years, range 18 to 23. The prevalence of anxiety was 66.0%, with 28.0% scoring in the borderline abnormal range and 38.0% in the abnormal range. For depression, 22.4% were in the borderline abnormal range, and 18.4% were in the abnormal range. Pearson correlation test showed gender was significantly associated with anxiety (p = 0.004). At the same time, no significant associations were found between depression and gender, depression and academic qualifications, contagious disease status, or close family members' infection status. The logistic regression analysis reveals that age is significantly associated with depression among nursing students; older students have higher odds of experiencing depression (OR = 1.384, p = 0.037). This study highlights a significant burden of anxiety among undergraduate nursing students at CINC, with a substantial proportion experiencing abnormal levels of anxiety. The findings underscore the importance of addressing mental health issues among nursing students and implementing strategies to promote their mental well-being.

Authors: Alhilal Mohammed
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to process complex syntactic phenomena, including relative clauses, wh-movement, and center- embedding. By analyzing examples derived from linguistic literature, the study highlights both the strengths and limitations of LLMs in handling syntax. The results reveal that while LLMs exhibit competence in simpler syntactic constructions, they struggle with deeper hierarchical dependencies and abstract syntactic constraints. The study underscores the need for integrating explicit syntactic principles into LLM architectures to bridge the gap between surface-level fluency and generative linguistic competence.

Published: January 2025

Given the pivotal role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in global trade and the region’s increasing integration within international supply chains, this study investigates the impact of logistics performance on export market penetration among ASEAN countries. Using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) one-step estimator, the study analyzes dynamic panel data comprising annual observations on logistics performance indicators, export market penetration metrics, and macroeconomic variables such as inflation rates and intertrade volumes from 2000 to 2022. The results reveal that logistics infrastructure, including international sea container throughput and international sea cargo throughput, significantly enhances the ability of ASEAN countries to access export markets. Findings in improving the liner shipping connectivity index can increase export capacity by up to 2.82%, underscoring the importance of investing in robust maritime infrastructure. Additionally, the study demonstrates that inflation negatively affects export market penetration, emphasizing the necessity for effective inflation control to enhance export competitiveness. The study concludes with recommendations for strengthening logistics infrastructure and fostering regional trade integration in ASEAN to boost export performance in global markets. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers and industry stakeholders in formulating strategies to improve trade logistics and elevate export outcomes across the region.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of mergers and acquisitions on financial performance in Nepalese financial institutions. This study investigated specific banks in Kathmandu, Nepal. This study, including six banks, analyzed the impact of commercial banks’ pre-merger and post-merger policies on financial performance. Thus, the study consisted of 60 observations with five years of data accumulated for the analysis. Earnings per share (EPS), non-performing loan ratio (NPLR), capital adequacy ratio (CAR), credit to deposit ratio (CDR), cash reserve ratio (CRR), and bank size (BS) are major predictor variables employed in the study and return on assets (ROA) as a response variable. The research design employed in the study is descriptive and casual comparative to investigate the relationship and effect of predictors on return on assets. Therefore, the data analysis process is accomplished through descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis. The findings of the study showed a positive effect of earnings per share on return on assets for pre-merger and post-merger. Next, the non-performing loan ratio found affecting negatively with return on assets. Similarly, the capital adequacy ratio and credit-to-deposit ratio positively influenced the return on assets. Further, the cash reserve ratio found an inverse influence on ROA only for post-merger and acquisition. However, bank size was found to adversely influence the return on assets for the pre-post-merger and acquisition. The findings of this study provide a benchmark for professionals, bankers, and policymakers to adopt strategic fit to enhance the financial performance of banks pursuing merger and acquisition strategies. This paper contributes to the existing literature by assessing the status of pre-merger and post-merger concerning financial performance.
The relationship between the real effective exchange rate and non-hydrocarbon export growth
Authors: Mehenna Darine , Bouzemlal Faiza , Nabil Belouard Ali
Published: January 2025

This study examined the impact of the exchange rate on non-hydrocarbon exports in Algeria. The main purpose of the research is to examine the relationship between the real effective exchange rate and the non-hydrocarbon export growth using the data of the Algerian economy. The data used are obtained from different sources: the real effective exchange rate is collected from International Financial Statistics published by the International Monetary Fund, while the non-hydrocarbon export growth is obtained from the Algeria Bank, and the gross domestic product variables are extracted from the official website of the World Bank. To conduct the study, the annual data for the three variables from 1980 to 2021 was considered; time series econometric techniques are used to check the existence of the relationship between variables. In the first step, the authors have performed the augmented Dickey-Fuller tests to check the stationarity of the three variables of interest. This test was computed for each variable with three models: the first model includes the constant term and the trend, the second model includes the constant term, and the third model was estimated without both the constant and the trend term. The stationary tests show that three variables (gross domestic product, the real effective exchange rate, and the non-hydrocarbon export growth) are integrated with order one, zero, and zero, respectively. In the second step, the exploration of the ARDL model between the three variables shows that the hypothesis that stipulates the existence of a significant relationship between the real effective exchange rate and the non-hydrocarbon export growth, on the one hand, is rejected, while the non-hydrocarbon export growth is, on the other hand, positively and statistically significantly correlated to the gross domestic product.
Interrelations of Current Health Expenditure and Fertilizer Consumption in European Countries: Step-by-Step to Sustainable Agricultural Practices
Authors: Huzenko Maksym
Published: January 2025

This research explores interrelations between fertilizer consumption and health expenditure in European countries examining how agricultural practices impact public health costs through pollution-related risks. Use of fertilizers, particularly nitrogen-based ones, is linked to environmental pollution (such as nitrate contamination in water and greenhouse gas emissions), which has well-documented health impacts. This study aims to investigate whether higher levels of fertilizer consumption correlate with increased healthcare spending, reflecting the economic burden of pollution-related health conditions. Via panel data from 37 European countries between 2006 and 2021, the panel regression analysis with the Fixed Effect, Random Effect, and Pooling Models is applied to evaluate relationships between fertilizer consumption and health expenditure per capita and as a percentage of GDP. The Fixed Effect Model, supported by the Hausman test, was ultimately selected for its ability to control for country-specific factors. The results indicate that higher fertilizer use is associated with increased health expenditure per capita, underscoring the economic impact of pollution-related illnesses. Additionally, food import shares show a positive association with health expenditure. It suggests that reliance on imported food might contribute to higher healthcare costs due to potential health risks from imported food quality. The export share effect on health expenditure is more complex, with mixed results across models, indicating both potential economic benefits and environmental health costs. These findings emphasize need for sustainable agricultural policies that balance productivity with public health. By revealing the financial implications of intensive fertilizer use, this research underscores the importance of integrating preventative measures (such as minimizing fertilizer run-off and promoting eco-friendly farming practices) into policy frameworks. This study provides critical data to support the European Green Deal and Sustainable Development Goals.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the beekeeping practices in the arid Ziban region of Algeria, which is characterized by significant geographical variability. It is primarily concentrated in the northern part of the country, where the climate and honey resources are more favorable. Its aim is to elucidate the behaviors of beekeepers and the challenges they encounter in ensuring the sustainability of beekeeping in this area, facing different challenges related to climate change, public subsidies, and pesticide pressure. Due to the lack of official data categorizing farmers practicing beekeeping, our sample was formed using a simple probabilistic method and comprises 41 beekeepers out of the 93 identified by local administration (DSA). A detailed questionnaire was administered between April and May 2023. To minimize misunderstandings, the questionnaire was prepared in both Arabic and French and was conducted face-to-face with the selected beekeepers. Due to availability issues and time constraints, beekeepers that were unable to attend scheduled meetings via telephone also reached out. A semi-structured survey was conducted involving 41 local beekeepers and a descriptive analysis of the qualitative and quantitative data gathered. Data analysis and coding were executed using open-source R-Studio software. The findings indicate a significant potential for the growth of beekeeping in the Ziban region. However, there has been minimal intervention aimed at improving existing practices and assisting beekeepers in overcoming the challenges they face in sustaining their activities, coupled with minimal technical support from public authorities to enhance existing practices and encourage beekeepers to address sustainability challenges. The beekeeping sector in the Ziban region is constrained by various obstacles, with the most critical being logistical issues, a shortage of beekeeping equipment, pesticide exposure, climate change, and elevated production costs. Also, it is essential for public authorities to address these challenges with local stakeholders to ensure the future viability of beekeeping.
