Constraints on property taxation in Malawi: insights from Zomba City Council
Authors: Chingamtolo Caroline , Manda Mtafu , Matotola Upendo
Published: October 2024

Low property tax collection rates are common in developing countries such as Malawi compared with developed countries – where property taxes account for over double what is prevalent in low-income countries. This paper presents findings of a study on constraints to property taxation in Zomba City, Malawi. The study employed structured questionnaires to interview 146 taxpayers identified through the snowball sampling technique. Qualitative data was collected from purposively selected key informants in the city council and government departments. The study found that the main constraints to property taxation in Zomba City are irregular property valuations, poor record keeping, weak enforcement mechanisms, a high non-compliance rate and negative taxpayers’ perceptions of public services. It suggests that automating the property tax collection system and building taxpayer confidence by demonstrably investing revenues in public services would increase property tax revenue for Zomba City Council, and that these lessons may have wider relevance.

Konsep pelaksanaan akad wadi’ah di Bank Muamalat Kantor Cabang Pembantu Muara Bungo sebagai titipan dari nasabah kepada pihak Bank, yakni titipan murni yang harus dijaga dan dikembalikan setiap saat sesuai dengan kehendak pemiliknya, setelah mencukupi nominal yang ditentukan oleh Kementrian Agama dan telah mendapat porsi keberangkatan.Berkaitan dengan produk tabungan wadi’ah, Akad yang dipakai pada praktek tabungan haji di Bank yaitu wadi’ah yad dhamanah yaitu dana yang disetorkan oleh nasabah tersebut boleh dipergunakan oleh pihak Bank, dan pihak Bank memberikan bonus kepada pihak nasabah yang telah mempercayai Bank untuk diberi amanah agar menjaga dana tersebut. Namun demikian yang penting adalah bagaimana mencari solusi dalam pemanfaatan factor pendukung dan mengatasi factor penghambat dalam pelaksanaan akad wadi’ah itu sendiri
Pemanfaatan Barang Gadai Menurut Sayyid Sabiq (Studi Komparatif)
Authors: Syamsoni Ujang Ruhyat
Published: October 2024

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pendapat Sayyid Sabiq tentang gadai, serta untuk mengetahui pemanfaatan barang gadai menurut Sayyid Sabiq dan menurut fuqaha lainnya. Penelitian ini bersifat study pustaka (library research) sebagai data primer adalah karya Sayyid Sabiq dalam kitab Fiqh-al-Sunnah Juz III. Agar pembahasan lebih terarah maka penulis menggunakan metode Deskriptif Analitik, yang dilanjutkan dengan menggunakan Content Analisis, yaitu menganalisiskan berbagai pendapat tentang konsep gadai dan pemanfaatan barang gadai selanjutnya diambil suatu kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan barang gadai para ulama berbeda pendapat Menurut Ulama Syafi’iyah yang mempunyai hak atas manfaat barang gadai adalah rahin, walaupun marhun berada di bawah kekuasaan murtahin. Menurut ulama Malikiyah murtahin hanya dapat memanfaatkan harta benda barang gadaian atas izin pemilik barang dengan syarat tertentu. Menurut pendapat ulama Hanabilah, membagi marhun menjadi dua kategori yaitu hewan dan bukan hewan. Apabila barang gadai berupa hewan yang tidak dapat diperah dan tidak dapat ditunggangi maka boleh menjadikannya sebagai khadam. Tetapi apabila barang gadai berupa rumah, sawah, kebun, dan sebagainya maka tidak boleh mengambil manfaatnya. Menurut ulama Hanafiyah, sesuai dengan fungsi dari barang gadai sebagai jaminan dan kepercayaan bagi penerima gadai, maka barang gadai dikuasai oleh penerima gadai. Apabila barang tersebut tidak dimanfaatkan oleh penerima gadai, maka berarti menghilangkan manfaat barang tersebut, padahal barang gadai tersebut memerlukan biaya untuk pemeliharaan. Menurut Sayyid Sabiq memanfaatkan barang gadai tidak diperbolehkan meskipun seizin orang yang menggadaikan. Tindakan orang yang memanfaatkan harta benda gadai tidak ubahnya qiradh, dan setiap bentuk qiradh yang mengalirkan manfaat adalah riba. Kecuali barang yang digadaikan berupa hewan ternak yang bisa diambil susunya, kemudian pemilik barang memberikan izin untuk memanfaatkan barang tersebut, maka penerima gadai boleh memanfaatkanya.

The comparison between apnoea-hypopnoea index in afternoon nap polysomnography and overnight polysomnography at a health establishment in KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Kibi Yabanathi
Published: October 2024

Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a highly prevalent, though under-recognised, public health problem. The apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) is a standard measure used to assess the presence and severity of SDB. It is also a primary measure to assess the effectiveness of SDB treatment. This study aimed to compare the apnoea hypopnoea index (AHI) between the overnight polysomnography (OPSG) and the afternoon-nap polysomnography (ANPSG) tests through the variables measured. This was accomplished by comparing the AHI values and other variables of the ANPSG and OPSG in diagnosing SDB. Method: The study investigated the correlation of the AHI, by measuring the dependent variables using the afternoon nap polysomnography (ANPSG) and overnight polysomnography (OPSG) on the same patients at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital (IALCH). A sample size of 25 was deemed adequate for analysis. Patients with the following symptoms and signs, highly suggestive of SDB, were recruited into the study: excessive sleepiness and tiredness during the day, snoring, nocturnal choking or gasping, and restlessness. A validated Epworth screening questionnaire was done at base hospital by the attending physician prior to booking the patient for sleep test. Afternoon nap PSG and overnight PSG data were compared using SPSS (Version 28®), where both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Results: The majority of patients were females (56%) while males accounted for 44%. Most of the patients were older than 50 years of age (60%) with a mean age of 51.04 ± 10.65 years. The mean BMI was 37.6 ±10.9 (kg/m2), the mean neck circumference was 41.4 ±4.6 cm, the mean weight 103.1 ± 28.6 kg, and the mean height 1.66 ± 0.1m. Furthermore, the correlation coefficient revealed a strong linear association between ANPSG and OPSG. The paired sample test showed that there was a difference between afternoon and overnight polysomnography measured for RDI (p < 0.001), AHI (p = 0.002), NREM (RDI) (p < 0.001), NREM (AHI) (p = 0.001), REM (RDI) (p = 0.005), REM (AHI (p = 0.027), total sleeping time (p < 0.001), and initial REM latency (p < 0.001). The mean value measured for OPSG was higher when compared with the ANPSG for the following variables: RDI (72.85 ± 33.99), AHI (66.76 ± 33.73), NREM (RDI) (72.69 ± 36.48), NREM (AHI) (66.63 ± 36.18), REM (RDI) (76.72 ± 26.65), REM (AHI) (69.64 ± 28.97), total sleep time (421.96 ± 61.03), and initial REM latency (116.74 ± 71.46). ANPSG underestimates the severity parameters of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). ANPSG may confirm the presence of AHS, however may not grade the true nocturnal severity, and when SDB is at a mild stage, ANPSG may not rule out that SDB will be or will not be present in the OPSG. ANPSG underestimates the value of AHI, RDI and other variables when compared to OPSG, see Annexure 26.
The impact of financial statement quality and firm characteristics on access to finance by small and medium-sized enterprises in eThekwini
Authors:   , Mayendisa Qiniso Prince
Published: October 2024

The South African government has established several public sector institutions that cater to small and medium-sized entities’ (SMEs) needs through the Department of Trade, Industries and Competition. These institutions, known as Business Development Service Providers, assist SMEs in running their businesses more effectively and can enhance access to finance as an alternative form of collateral in circumstances where security for a loan is required. However, most SMEs apply for finance from financial institutions. As access to finance has been identified as a major obstacle limiting the growth and survival of SMEs, the objective of this research was to investigate the impact of financial statement quality and firm characteristics on access to finance by SMEs in eThekwini using the “Applied and Received” approach. The main research objective was divided into three sub-objectives; these were to determine the forms of finance being used by SMEs, to determine the accounting frameworks being used by SMEs, and to investigate whether financial statement quality and firm characteristics affect their access to finance. To achieve these objectives, a questionnaire was administered to owners of SMEs in eThekwini. The results revealed that the main forms of finance used by the SMEs were overdraft facilities, bank loans, factoring, leasing, and hire purchase, and that the average rate of extent of access to finance is 19.10%. The findings also revealed that 4.8% of the respondents were using IFRS, 72.9% were using IFRS for SMEs, and 22.3% were using South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Lastly, the findings revealed that firm age, firm size, collateral, and financial statement quality have a significant effect on access to finance by SMEs. Therefore, possession of such firm characteristics and financial statement quality are important predictors of SMEs’ successful access to finance. The Government needs to help SMEs by providing them with educational programs that will assist them in compiling and understanding their financial statements to keep them improving and surviving. Furthermore, an SME’s growth and survival also depends on its access to finance.

The using of polymeric flocculants in the development of the oil industry in Kazakhstan is one of the innovative tasks. Therefore, the creation of new effective flocculants based on available industrial monomers with structure-forming is an urgent task. The mechanism of action of flocculants is based on the phenomenon of adsorption of flocculant molecules on the surface of colloidal particles, the formation of a network structure of flocculant molecules, and the adhesion of colloidal particles due to van der Waals and other forces. New polymeric flocculant with different molar composition was synthesized by radical copolymerization [(3-methacryloylamino)propyl]trimethylammonium chloride (TMAPMACh) with N,N-dimethyl-acrylamide (DMAA) at 333 K in the presence of ammonium persulfate, (NH4)2S2O8 as an initiator. The molar composition of the synthesized TMAPMACh-DMAA copolymer was determined by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy and conductometric titration with AgNO3 solution. The flocculation properties of the copolymers were studied by measuring the sedimentation of dispersed particles of bentonite suspension in the presence of the flocculant. Sedimentation degree was determined by measuring the optical density of the suspension. It was found that TMAPMACh-DMAA copolymers had a flocculating effect and could be used for industrial wastewater treatment. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that this copolymer was thermally stable up to 270°C. Therefore, it can be used in deep well drilling to regulate the properties of drilling fluids.

In recent years, an urgent task is to find materials of domestic origin and create on their basis affordable and cheap, easy-to-use, reliable composite compositions for the preparation of well killing fluid. Nowadays, the need for process fluids that help preserve and restore reservoir properties always remains. Available and inexpensive natural salt from the Oimash deposit (Mangistau region) can create the required density in the well killing fluid and be its main component. The aim of the work is to develop compositions based on Oimash salt for the preparation of well killing fluids, which include all necessary additives. Methodology: The physicochemical characteristics of the composite compositions for the preparation of well killing fluid (bulk density, mass fraction of insoluble substances in water, mass fraction of moisture, solubility) and using standard methods corrosion activity studied. Results. The physicochemical parameters of Oimash salt showed that the salt is not prone to caking, the proportion of insoluble substances in sea water is 0.45%, and in waste water - 0.54%. The solubility of the developed compositions depending on the types of water was studied. All compositions are soluble in various types of water. The solubility of all compositions in seawater is 96.64-97.56%, and in wastewater from 95.59% to 95.97%. The optimal composition of the salt composition is the composition of sample No. 1 with the percentage content of components TPPF: NTF: PAA = 0.5: 0.5: 0.1:30, with a bulk density of 0.7055 t/m3, a mass fraction of insoluble substances in water - 1.4334%, well soluble in sea and waste water 97.56 and 95.66%. As the results of samples No. 1 showed, the corrosive environment is slightly aggressive in terms of aggressiveness.

The article provides a new approach to the formation of periods in Mendeleev's periodic system. Reconfiguration of the periods in the Mendeleev table using the newly proposed formula and the newly proposed quantum states for the outer electron shells of atoms of chemical elements is proposed. Purpose of work: Further development of the alternative theory of creation of electronic shells of atoms of chemical elements in D.I.Mendeleev's table. Results and discussions. The following order of formation of electron layers is proposed: principle quantum number (n), then the quantum state of the electrons forming the electronic configuration of the subperiods (first and second), and only then the remaining quantum orbitals (s, d, f and p). First and second new quantum states and a new formula for calculating the number of electrons in the outer electron shell of element periods and subperiods were proposed. The new level of electronic counting (II) and the new quantum number proposed by us allow to change the understanding of the internal structure of chemical elements without changing the general appearance and order of arrangement of chemical elements in D.I.Mendeleev's table itself, and therefore its contents. An important advantage of the proposed alternative model is that it takes into account and relies on already known, classical data for most of its main operational characteristics and is an extension of this important topic for classical chemistry theory. Therefore, the change in the number of periods, the introduction of a new quantum number in the form of D.I.Mendeleev's table, outwardly it does not differ much, but requires the necessary additional explanation. Concept. The proposed alternative approach to the structure and electronic structure of atomic shells of chemical elements in the periods and groups of D.I.Mendeleev's periodic system was recently developed by the authors and has good prospects for development primarily in the following directions: - identification of possible patterns of changes in the characteristics of chemical and physical properties of elements; - development of an accompanying model of the electronic structure of electronic shells of atoms of chemical elements of the proposed alternative model.

Published: October 2024

Research Objective: This study examines the impact of LinkedIn usage on entrepreneurial competence and engagement of Gen-Z aged between 18-27. Motivation: This study is motivated by the increased dependence young entrepreneurs have on social media as a channel for professional development and networking. The study builds on works of Banerji & Reimer, (2019) on start-up founders and their LinkedIn connections, Franc, Stampfl, & Geyer, (2024) worked-related learning on LinkedIn, and Vitelar (2019) on Gen-Z and the use of social media. Idea: This research tests the direct effect of the usage of LinkedIn on Gen-Z individuals' entrepreneurial competence and engagement. It assumes that high engagement in learning and networking activities on LinkedIn will be followed by an equivalent improvement in their entrepreneurial outcomes. In this research, the independent variables are the patterns of usage on LinkedIn, while the dependent variables are entrepreneurial competence and engagement. Data: The quantitative research methodology was adopted, and the survey was conducted through Google Forms among 350 Gen-Z users on the professional networking site LinkedIn. Tools: Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analyses were used for the collected data. Findings: The results indicated that the different usage patterns—such as the frequency of login and engagement on LinkedIn Learning—had a significantly positive correlation with both entrepreneurial competence and engagement. Regression analysis pointed out entrepreneurial competence as one of the chief predictors for entrepreneurial engagement. Therefore, it is concluded that LinkedIn is quite instrumental in enhancing the entrepreneurial capacity of Gen-Z; it therefore gives relevant insights to entrepreneurs and the developers of this particular platform. Contribution: The paper thereby provides empirical evidence on the specific impact of LinkedIn on Gen-Z entrepreneurs, which enriches the literature of social media and entrepreneurship.
Keywords:  LinkedIn, Gen-Z, Entrepreneurial Competence, Social Media, Professional Networking.

Gereja adalah tubuh Kristus yang terdiri dari orang-orang menyatakan iman mereka dalam Yesus Kristus sebagai Juruselamat dan Tuhan mereka. Orang-orang percaya ini menempatkan terutama kehidupan mereka di dalam komunitas yang dinamakan Gereja, sebuah organisme yang memiliki struktur organisasi. Bagaimana Gereja menjalani kehidupan sehari-hari dan menerapkan prilaku sebagai orang Kristen sangatlah penting. Sebagai sebuah komunitas, yang seperti sebuah organisasi, Gereja Allah maka mereka harus memiliki karakter dan kualitas Allah. Gereja Korintus adalah sebuah contoh bagi gereja masa kini. Gereja ini memiliki kompleksitas dan perilaku yang mirip dengan situasi pergumulan dan perilaku anggota-anggota gereja sekarang ini. Sangat mengagumkan bahwa para pemimpin gereja sekarang memiliki masalah-masalah yang sama dengan Paulus saat berada di Korintus. Paulus telah memberikan arahan dan teladan bagi gereja-gereja masa kini untuk menjadi pemimpin Kristen yang rohani, Surat 1 dan 2 Korintus menjadi panduan bagi semua pemimpin Kristen untuk menggembalakan domba-domba Allah dengan penuh perhatian dan kasih, sama seperti Allah kepada kita, Paulus kepada jemaat Korintus, untuk mencari solusi dari beragam permasalahan-permasalahan dan pergumulan-pergumulan di dalam pelayanan masa kini.

Authors: Darinding Jane Lestari , Kukus Merline Mesti
Published: October 2024

Musa adalah seorang pemimpin yang dipilih oleh Allah sendiri. Musa memiliki gaya kepemimpinan dengan selalu bersandar dan berpegang pada perintah Allah. Melalui imannya kepada Allah ia bisa membawa keluar bangsa Israel dari tanah perbudakan Mesir. Hal itu dilakukannya dengan cara memilih tim kerjanya dalam menjalankan tugas dan tanggung jawab sebagai mitra Allah dengan penuh seleksi dan dengan standar yang dipakai. Gaya kepemimpinan Musa ini menjadi teladan bagi pemimpin-pemimpin di zaman sekarang ini, di mana mereka harus mengutamakan kepentingan umum di atas kepentingan pribadi serta  kerelaan untuk berkorban.

TUBERCULOSE E A REALIDADE PARALELA DOS PRESÍDIOS
Authors: Guerra Guilherme Roberto
Published: October 2024

O artigo examina a precariedade da assistência à saúde da população carcerária brasileira, com ênfase na tuberculose. Foram analisados dados disponibilizados pelo poder público em confronto com os direitos assegurados no ordenamento jurídico para demonstrar que, apesar da universalidade formal do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), a realidade dos presídios, marcada por superlotação e condições insalubres, impede o efetivo combate à doença. O Brasil desenvolveu o Plano Nacional pelo Fim da Tuberculose, mas a negligência estatal em aplicar políticas públicas voltadas aos presos tem causado o aumento da incidência da tuberculose no sistema prisional. A análise revela que a população carcerária, apesar de sua vulnerabilidade, permanece à margem das políticas de saúde pública, configurando um “Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional”, como reconhecido pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal. O estudo conclui que a erradicação da tuberculose, assim como o respeito aos direitos humanos, exige ações imediatas e eficazes para garantir o acesso universal e igualitário à saúde nas prisões.

The 2023 global warming spike was driven by the El Niño–Southern Oscillation

Abstract. Global-mean surface temperature rapidly increased 0.29 ± 0.04 K from 2022 to 2023. Such a large interannual global warming spike is not unprecedented in the observational record, with a previous instance occurring in 1976–1977. However, why such large global warming spikes occur is unknown, and the rapid global warming of 2023 has led to concerns that it could have been externally driven. Here we show that climate models that are subject only to internal variability can generate such spikes, but they are an uncommon occurrence (p = 1.6 % ± 0.1 %). However, when a prolonged La Niña immediately precedes an El Niño in the simulations, as occurred in nature in 1976–1977 and 2022–2023, such spikes become much more common (p = 10.3 % ± 0.4 %). Furthermore, we find that nearly all simulated spikes (p = 88.5 % ± 0.3 %) are associated with El Niño occurring that year. Thus, our results underscore the importance of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation in driving the occurrence of global warming spikes such as the one in 2023, without needing to invoke anthropogenic forcing, such as changes in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases or aerosols, as an explanation.

Abstract. Ice nucleating particles (INPs) play a crucial role in initiating ice crystal formation in clouds, influencing the dynamics and optical properties of clouds and their impacts on precipitation and the climate system. Despite their importance, there is limited knowledge about the vertical distribution of INPs. This study focuses on aircraft measurements conducted during spring 2018 above the boreal forest of Hyytiälä, Finland. Similarities between INP concentrations, activated fractions, particle concentrations, and size distributions observed at ground level and in the boundary layer aloft indicate that surface particles and INPs are efficiently transported and mixed within the boundary layer. INP concentrations observed in the boundary layer are best predicted by a parameterization describing near-surface INP concentrations driven by the abundance of biogenic aerosol in the Finnish boreal forest, suggesting that biogenic INPs are dominant in the boundary layer above the same environment. Most of the INP concentrations and activated fractions observed in the free troposphere are notably lower than in the boundary layer, and the distinct particle size distributions suggest that different aerosol populations, likely resulting from long-range transport, are present in the free troposphere. However, we show one case where higher INP concentrations are observed in the free troposphere and where a homogeneous particle population exists from the surface to the free troposphere. This indicates that surface particles and INPs from the boreal forest can occasionally reach the free troposphere, which is particularly important as the INPs in the free troposphere can further travel horizontally and/or vertically and impact cloud formation.
