Online Donation for Charitable Giving: The Case of Yayasan Kebaikan Ummat
Authors: Apriliani Selvi , Susilawati Cucu
Published: March 2024

The burgeoning trend of online donations has assumed prominence within society. This research endeavors to elucidate the intricacies involved in the collection, management, and distribution of online donation by Yayasan Sinergi Kebaikan Ummat. It seeks to identify the contractual frameworks employed in the online donation process, while also examining the legal dimensions of online donations through the lens of Sharia Economic Law. The type of this research is qualitative. Data collection techniques encompass indirect observation, interviews, and documentation review. The data analysis is underpinned by the premise that muamalah activities, whether conducted directly or indirectly, are permissible unless explicitly proscribed. The legal framework governing muamalah derives from the Qur'an and Hadith, which establish the principles congruent with Sharia, aimed at fostering societal justice. The findings of this research reveal that Yayasan Kebaikan Ummat, acting as a campaigner, assumes the role of a third-party intermediary in the donation process. Here, the donor represents the first party, while the online platform serves as the second party. The process of raising donations involves several contractual arrangements, including ijarah, wakalah bil ujrah, and jualah contracts, all of which entail the provision of wages (ujrah). The administration fee established by the platform, termed ujrah, serves as compensation for the campaigner's fundraising assistance. Consequently, online donations facilitated through these platforms are permissible, primarily due to the incorporation of the tabarru' contract within the arrangement.

Published: March 2024

La gestión de proyectos se ha convertido en una herramienta fundamental para el éxito de las organizaciones. Sin embargo, el enfoque tradicional, centrado únicamente en la eficiencia y el cumplimiento de objetivos, ha comenzado a dar paso a una nueva perspectiva: la humanización de la gestión de proyectos. Si bien la planificación, la organización y las herramientas tecnológicas son fundamentales para la gestión de proyectos, el factor humano juega un papel crucial en el éxito o fracaso de cualquier iniciativa. En nuestro contexto, donde la tecnología y la eficiencia dominan el panorama empresarial, surge un movimiento que busca revalorizar el factor humano en la gestión de proyectos: la humanización. Esta tendencia se basa en la premisa de que el éxito de un proyecto no solo depende de alcanzar objetivos, que los proyectos no son solo procesos técnicos, sino que también involucran a personas con diferentes habilidades, personalidades y necesidades. La gestión de proyectos no se limita a gestionar el proyecto en sí, también requiere la gestión de las personas del equipo y de los actores involucradas. Una correcta gestión de expectativas contribuirá a manejar el lado emocional y psicológico de las personas a lo largo de un proyecto. Al conocer las motivaciones de las personas, se podrá aplicar ese conocimiento para inspirar mejores hábitos, relaciones saludables entre todos los compañeros, impactará en el rendimiento, la productividad y calidad, con ello lograr el éxito del proyecto pleno. La gestión adecuada de los factores humanos en un proyecto ayudara a construir relaciones laborales saludables, aumentar la productividad, mejorar la calidad de la entrega de los proyectos, crea un valor para los stakeholders y, en última instancia, lograr el éxito general del proyecto y de la organización.

As technology continues to advance across industries, the strategic role of information in organizations becomes increasingly evident. Recognizing the potential of information technology to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction, various industries have integrated technology into their management systems. However, these innovations also introduce risks to the organization's information landscape. Risk management, therefore, emerges as a crucial discipline to identify, assess, and mitigate information technology-related risks. Textile companies, for instance, employ web-based management systems to support their operations, but encounter challenges hindering effective business process execution. This leads to reduced work performance and hampers goal attainment. This study aims to analyze the risks associated with web-based management systems in the textile industry and to suggest strategies for minimizing these risks. The research combines literature review and analytical methodologies to achieve its objectives. The literature review encompasses topics such as management systems, their components, and risk management. The research proposes a risk management process comprising nine stages: system characterization, identifying threats, determining vulnerabilities, analyzing controls, estimating probability, evaluating impact, assessing risk, proposing controls, and documenting results. Nevertheless, there is very little and/or scarce research on the use of technology throughout the textile industry. Thus, in order to fulfill the research emptiness within the use of information technology to increase the performance of the textile industry, this research underscores the critical role of risk management in safeguarding information technology systems within the textile industry.

Internal control is a mechanism used by the company to achieve its goals. This study examines the relationship between internal control as proxied by the level of disclosure on audit opinion and the company's financial performance. The data is taken from the annual reports of companies that are members of IDX80 in 2020. The test is carried out by correlation using SPSS 25.0. The test results show that the correlation coefficient of internal control with audit opinion is 0.109, while the correlation coefficient with financial performance is 078.

Scrotoschisis: Review in clinical and embryological perspective of a rare anomaly
Authors: Fikri Erjan , Alnaz Ahmad Razi Maulana , Abdillah Aqyl Hanif , Az-Zahra Salsabila
Published: March 2024

Scrotoschisis is a rare congenital anomaly affecting the scrotum and testes, characterized clinically by a defect in the scrotal wall and extrusion of testicular tissue. This literature review is based on reports gathered from PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar using relevant keywords to explore the underlying basic science of this rare condition. The etiology and mechanism of scrotoschisis development remain largely unknown, with only theoretical explanations and a lack of empirical evidence regarding its pathogenesis, which is thought to be linked to embryological abnormalities during scrotal formation. Diagnosing scrotoschisis typically involves a straightforward visual examination of the extruded testes immediately after birth, although clinical presentations may vary, being either unilateral or bilateral. Surgical intervention, primarily through orchidopexy, is generally beneficial for repositioning the testes, closing defects, and preventing potential complications. The prognosis for individuals with this anomaly is generally favorable, although long-term testicular function has been inadequately documented. Further research, including additional clinical reports and investigations involving animal models or embryological studies, is warranted to enhance our understanding of this condition.
Obesity is a communicable disease

Obesity has multiple causes and correlates. Usually studied as a metabolic and endocrine disease, with mechanical and musculoskeletal comorbidities, obesity also has a communicable angle to it. Obesity can be considered a communicable disease from the conventional point of view, as it is associated with viral etiology in animal and human models. It is also associated with increased prevalence and worse prognosis of infectious diseases. Not only that, obesity is a ‘socially communicable’ disease, as it ‘spreads’ amongst people living in similar environments.

Authors: Urooj Sana , Mughal Anum , Siddiqui Sarush Ahmed , Kamal Rabia , Naeem Aisha
Published: March 2024

Objective: To assess the practice of ordering unnecessary laboratory investigations by primary surgical teams.
Method: The clinical audit was conducted from December 17, 2022, to January 15, 2023, at the Civil Hospital, Karachi, and comprised primary surgeons working in different surgical units who ordered laboratory investigations for patients as a part of preoperative assessment. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
Results: Of the 280 surgeons approached, 249(89%) responded. The units covered were General surgery 96(38.5%), Gynaecology 74(29.7%), Neurosurgery 5(2.0%), Ear, Nose and Throat 19(7.6%), Plastic surgery 15(6.02%), Paediatric surgery 13(5.2%), Vascular surgery 8(3.21%), Oromaxilofacial 9(3.61%), Opthalmology 6(2.4%), and Orthopaedics 4(1.60%).As part of baseline investigations, 244(98%)  surgeons ordered complete blood count, 173(69.5%) ordered urea and creatinine, 229(92%) ordered viral markers, 197(78.7%) ordered fasting and random blood glucose, and 178(71.5%) focussed on cardiac fitness.
Conclusion: There was a found a need for standard protocols for pre-surgery evaluation so that unnecessary investigations may be avoided.

Published: March 2024

Endomyocardial fibrosis secondary to hyper-eosinophilic syndrome also known as Loeffler’s Endocarditis is a rare cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy. If left untreated, it carries a very high morbidity and mortality rate. The case of a 20 years old girl, a known case of polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis since the age of 13 years was reported at Federal Government Polyclinic Hospital, Islamabad on 14th May 2022. She presented with an acute history of shortness of breath and cough for two weeks. Her initial echocardiogram showed suspicion of Loeffler’s Endocarditis, which is attributed to be an adverse effect of etanercept- a tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor, which she had been prescribed for her arthritis. The patient is currently being managed with high doses of steroids, therapeutic anticoagulation with rivaroxaban, carvedilol for tachycardia and mycophenolate mofetil as an immunosuppressant.

Investigation of oxidant-antioxidant status in patients treated with hirudotherapy: an experimental study
Authors: Sarikan Ismail , Savas Hasan Basri
Published: March 2024

Objective: To examine the influence of hirudotherapy on parameters of oxidative stress.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted from March 29 to September 29, 2021, at the Alanya Research and Training Hospital’s Traditional and Complementary Medicine Application Centre, Turkey, and comprised adult volunteers of either gender. The participants were subjected to two sessions of hirudotherapy 4 weeks apart. Total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, oxidative stress index values, ischemia-modified albumin level, paraoxonase 1, disulfide, native thiol, total thiol, and arylesterase levels were assessed at baseline and after the second hirudotherapy session. Data was analysed using SPSS 15.
Results: Of the 50 subjects, 30(60%) were females and 20(40%) were males. The overall mean age was 47.10±15.16 years. Oxidative stress, ischemia-modified albumin and disulfide levels decreased, but not significantly (p>0.05). The reduction in disulfide levels was significant (p=0.021).
Conclusion: Hirudotherapy, within its limitations, could reduce oxidative stress.

Published: March 2024

Objective: To determine the role of dapagliflozin in improving functional status and health-related quality of life in acute heart failure cases.
Method: The prospective, randomised controlled study was conducted from July 2022 to January 2023 at the Pharmacology Department of Army Medical College, National University of Medical Sciences, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, in collaboration with the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology, Rawalpindi, and comprised hospitalised adult patients of either gender with acute heart failure. They were randomised into two equal groups, with intervention group A receiving oral dapagliflozin 10mg daily in addition to conventional therapy, and with control group B receiving conventional therapy alone. Health-related quality of life was assessed using Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Improvement in functional status was assessed by New York Heart Association functional classification. Data was obtained at baseline and after 12-week follow-up. Data was compared using SPSS 26.
Results: Of the 150 patients, 75(50%) were group A; 62(82.66%) males and 13(17.3%) females with mean age 63.76±10.05 years. There were 75(50%) patients in group B; 60(80%) males and 15(20%) females with mean age 66.13±11.73 years (p>0.05). The study was completed by 73(97.3%) in group A and 69(92%) in group B. The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores improved post-intervention compared to baseline values (p<0.001) in both groups. Group A showed comparatively greater improvement in health status compared to group B (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Early initiation of dapagliflozin in patients admitted with acute heart failure was found to be associated with rapid and significant improvement in health and functional status.
