Authors: Eldaia Monther , Shatnawi Saddam ali , Hanefah Mustafa Mohamad , Binti Marzuki Ainulashikin
Published: November 2020

The moderating effect of Shariah Committee Quality (SCQ) on the relationship between Audit Committee (AC) characteristics and Malaysian Takaful performance remains a challenge that is yet to be resolved. Malaysia plays a leader role in Muslim countries in Islamic Finance especially in Takaful industry and Shariah committee roles and duties. AC characteristics have a significant effect on corporate financial performance. The fundamental AC role is to supervise the corporate’s financial reporting practice, review of financial reports, auditing practice, internal accounting controls, and risk management practices. AC characteristics plays a crucial role in the overall Malaysian Takaful companies which is supposed to enhance financial performance. Hence, SCQ as part of the internal governance structure and control body of the institution, thereby, ensure Shariah compliance in all transactions and activities, and enhancing the credibility of institutions in the eyes of its shareholders and customers. SCQ can potentially moderate the relationship between AC and Malaysian Takaful performance. As an important mechanism of Corporate Governance (CG), In addition, agency theory and stewardship theory were used to develop the hypotheses.  Several results of the previous literature were found fraternized, and inconsistent regarding the SCQ effect on firm performance or its effect on AC characteristics in general context, while the literature on Malaysia context remain scarce. It is expected that this SCQ moderation may considerably improve corporate performance by determining the strength or weakness of the relationship between AC characteristics and firm performance. Therefore, this paper conceptualized that ‘SCQ’ moderates the relationship between AC Chairman Specialization, Shariah Background, AC Independence and Meeting frequency, and Malaysian Takaful performance.

Published: November 2020

Despite being a dynamic hub for the Islamic financial products and services, Malaysia’s Islamic fintech landscape does not meet expectations. With a number of challenges such as stringent regulations, lack of adequate funding, shortage of a skilled workforce, fierce conventional competitors etc. the future growth and progress might only remain an unfulfilled dream if they are not addressed timely. This paper is aimed at critically discussing these challenges faced by such companies. Also it aims at proposing potential measures to overcome the highlighted issues. But in order to validate the mentioned challenges and the potential remedies, an interview based approach is employed. The top and middle management of five full-fledged Islamic fintech companies were interviewed with the aim of ensuring whether the mentioned challenges actually exist or not. And whether the proposed solutions are practicable. Based on the findings from the interviews, it is observed that almost all the mentioned challenges are recognized by the companies. Although not all were in consensus regarding every issue, but in general they saw the challenges as legitimate. The proposed solutions were also well received and recognized as beneficial for the companies. Another finding from the interviews was additional challenges the companies saw as worrisome, such as lack of awareness and technological ignorance among the masses. The paper concludes with the recommendation for the relevant authorities to address the highlighted issues with seriousness. Further research may be carried out to provide solutions for the additional issues pointed out by the companies

Comparative Analysis of Various Approaches to Calculating Labour Productivity
Authors: Volkova Nataliia N. , Romanyuk Evelyna I. , Frenkel Alexander A.
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of analyzing the methodological foundations for assessing the dynamics of labour productivity in the regions of Russia in the context of the digital transformation of the economy. The identification of differences in the level of labour productivity and employment and the influencing factors is a necessary requirement for building a competent regional socio-economic policy in the new institutional conditions. Calculations of labour productivity are carried out by various international and national organizations that use a variety of methods for measuring this indicator. The presence of a sufficiently large number of methods for measuring productivity leads to the fact that each one gives its own result and different dynamics. The authors set the task to consider the existing methodological approaches to calculating labor productivity and to analyze how much they affect the results. The authors statistically tested the hypothesis of heterogeneity of ratings obtained by various methods. The calculations were made on the basis of data from Rosstat for the regions of Russia for the period from 2013 to 2018. To study the uniformity of the series, various statistical criteria were used. The analysis showed that in all years of the period under review the samples are heterogeneous. Consequently, the development of managerial decisions substantially depends on the methodology used to calculate the labour productivity index. The authors concluded that it is necessary to build an index of labour productivity based on regression dependencies on indicators reflecting the main factors affecting regional labor productivity. It helps to get a more effective assessment of regional differences in its level and dynamics. This index should be built for each region taking into account its industry specifics and the level of development of new digital technologies.

Published: November 2020

Imagine that you are owner of some service. You need to determine for a certain future period the work plan of your craftsmen, the number of consumables needed. To do this, you need to make a forecast of future services number. Classical mathematical methods of working with time series are not suitable for this task. Aggregation of data on services by months and the compilation of a time series can only confuse. Forecasting services should be performed using methods designed to work with rare events. Rare events are devoted to relatively few works. Methods for the study of rare events are significantly less than methods for analyzing frequent events (time series). The most popular method of studying rare events at the moment is the use of the theory of random processes, which uses a stream of Poisson or Erlang events. However, using random streams, one cannot predict the very moment of the occurrence of an event. The paper describes an approach to the rare events analysis, which is based on: dividing events by identifiers of the sources in which they are formed; regression process parameters occurring within the sources, resulting in these events formation; search by any known method of parameters change patterns; the process start itself to obtain a forecast of the following events time occurrence. For the consumption processes and the disturbances growth process, which are the most common processes of the events formation in the economy, a method is proposed for restoring the consumption or accumulating disturbances rate from the rare events history. Services as can be modeled as the process of accumulating disturbances to a certain level. The article is devoted to the application of the capacity method of rare events analysis on real data in the service sector (haircut in a hairdresser, a manicure in a beauty salon, cellular communication services). The task is to restore the function that leads to the acquisition of services, and then predict the following events.

Authors: Jaiswal Bisekha , Timalsina Laxmi , Karki Sushmita , Shrestha Sanjit , Koirala Surakshya
Published: November 2020

Background: Burn infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in spite of significant improvements in burn care and treatment. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., Staphylococcus aureus etc. are the commonest isolates in which rapid development of resistance to multiple drugs limits the therapeutic options for infections by Acinetobacter species. Hence, this study was done to find the occurrence of Acinetobacter and to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of tigecycline against Acinetobacter isolates.

Methods:  This cross-sectional study was conducted in Phect-Nepal Hospital, Kirtipur, Nepal from September to December 2018. Total 205 samples were included for the isolation and identification of Acinetobacter and further minimum inhibitory concentration of isolates were done following the standard laboratory protocol. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS version 23.0.

Results: Among 155 culture positive samples, 27 isolates were Acinetobacter spp.  Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test revealed that 24 isolates were resistant to ceftriaxone and ceftazidime, but all isolates were susceptible to polymyxin B. For tigecycline, 19 isolates were resistant through dis diffusion test while 20 isolates cross the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration value from E test. The reliability of the E-test and disc diffusion was 0.920, which represent strong agreement between E- test and dis diffusion test.

Conclusions: Tigecycline resistance is presenting as serious problem to the management of infection caused by Acinetobacter species. Therefore, minimum inhibitory concentration for the detection of resistance should be included in routine laboratory diagnosis.

Keywords: Acinetobacter spp.; AST; burn; MIC; tigecycline

The yellow passionfruit (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarcarpa Deg.) is important culture in Brazilian Amazon agriculture, especially in the state of Pará. But its cultivation has been suffering the reduction of its areas and productivity due the diseases caused by bacteria, where chemical control, sometimes does not present the expected results. The propolis of Africanized bees (Apis mellifera L.)  is an important natural antibiotic for the control of undesirable microorganisms of plants and animals. The present work aimed at the in vitro study of the antibiotic activity of different propolis extracts of Africanized bees from two different locations in the state of Pará in the agent that causes the passionfruit bacterial blight (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. passiflorae). A factorial analysis of three factors was performed: origin X solvent X concentration. It was verified that the concentrations of 0.5% were statistically superior to the others, with average growth inhibition power of 86%, and the propolis extract from an apiary in Santa Izabel do Pará, Pará, Brazil, obtained in ethanol at 80%, was statistically different and superior for the inhibitory effect of the growth of colony forming units (CFU) of X. axonopodis pv. passiflorae.

Published: November 2020

O presente estudo analisou as políticas de atenção primária à saúde voltada à Odontopediatria, identificando a trajetória, a formação da agenda política e os desafios, no período 1912 a 2020. A estratégia de busca dos documentos legais foi realizada no acervo digital do Ministério da Saúde, no Diário Oficial da União e no Portal da Legislação. Já os artigos, foram pesquisados na BVS e SciELO, utilizando os descritores: políticas públicas de saúde, saúde bucal, criança e escolares, associados entre si. Foram encontrados 356 artigos e, após análise, 35 foram selecionados. Além deles, 18 documentos legais e dados secundários dos levantamentos de saúde bucal foram utilizados para composição desta linha histórica. Verificou-se que o acesso das crianças ao atendimento público odontológico foi priorizado pelo modelo incremental, fundamentado na lógica curativa e intervencionista. Com a adoção de uma concepção ampliada do processo saúde-doença, houve a implantação de um modelo que privilegia a prevenção e promoção da saúde, expressando-se por meio de modelos integrais, de inversão da atenção, atenção precoce, até atingir o modelo atual de caráter universal e igualitário que tange a esfera pública. Apesar da ampliação da oferta no acesso às ações clínicas e educacionais destinados a esse público, a prevalência dos principais agravos em saúde bucal ainda se encontram em níveis distantes dos aceitáveis, sendo evidente o quão as políticas de saúde bucal destinadas à criança estão subordinadas às ações dos sucessivos governos, devendo tais ações serem assimiladas como política de Estado, dirimindo as variabilidades decorrentes de mudanças no cenário político-democrático-governamental.

Após a finalização do estudo, os resultados apontaram o fator humano como o responsável pela maioria dos desvios na distribuidora, e o fator treinamento como uma questão a ser aperfeiçoada, uma vez que é notável que muitos desvios estão associados à falta de treinamento. Dessa maneira, através da ferramenta da qualidade 5W1H, elaborou-se um plano de ação pelo qual seria possível controlar os níveis de risco. Ainda explorando resultados, verificou-se a necessidade do desenvolvimento de trabalhos futuros, como a aplicação da metodologia hazop nos demais setores da empresa e a aplicação do método RULA (Rapid Upper Limber Assessment).

The effects of environmental salinity on physiological responses, growth, and survival of the Gulf corvina, C. othonopterus, were evaluated in a 6-week completely randomized design experiment. Corvina (17.2±2.3 g mean initial body weight) were subjected to salinities of 5, 15, 25, and 35 ‰ and fed a commercial feed with protein and lipid contents of 46 and 14 %, respectively. Plasma osmolality increased significantly with salinity, ranging from 335.1±5.3 mOsm/kg in fish maintained at 5 ‰, to 354.8±6.8 mOsm/kg in fish kept in seawater, while a significant inverse relationship was observed between salinity and moisture content of whole fish, ranging from 73.8±0.7 (measured at 5 ‰) to 76.9±1.0 % (measured at 35 ‰). In spite of this, growth indices (final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, condition factor, survival) were not altered, suggesting that, like other members of the family Sciaenidae, the Gulf corvina is a strong osmoregulator. The isosmotic point for this species was estimated to correspond to a salinity of 9.8 ‰. The present study represents the first set of experimental data on salinity tolerance of C. othonopterus and confirms the euryhalinity of this species.

With the minimum completeness criteria (KKM) 65, out of 10 students in grade VI (six) male 2 students, 8 female students, only 2 people scored above the KKM, and the remaining 8 people scored below the KKM. This research is a classroom action research (PTK) which aims to improve Civics learning outcomes in reading and understanding reading skills of grade VI students at SDN 005 Pulau Kumpai by using the cooperative learning model of game method. The research subjects were 10 grade students of SDN 005 Pulau Kumpai, consisting of 2 boys and 8 girls. The research was conducted in two cycles, each cycle consisting of four stages, namely planning, implementing, observing and reflecting during the learning process using the game method of cooperative learning. The results of the research obtained before the action were 61.50 and increased in the first cycle I increased by 2.5% from the basic score with an average of 64.00 and in the second cycle increased by 7.5% from the basic score with an average of 71.50. Before the action, there were many students with a percentage of 80% of the total number of students, namely 8 students in the incomplete category, 2 students in the 20% complete category. In cycle I there was another reduction in the number of students who were in the incomplete category by 60%, namely only 6 students, and in the complete category of 40% as many as 4 students. In cycle 2 there was another reduction in the number of students who were in the incomplete category by 10%, namely only 1 student, and the complete category as much as 90% as many as 1 student. Based on the results of the increase, it proves that the cooperative learning model of game method can improve the learning outcomes of Civics students VI SDN 005 Pulau Kumpai in their ability to read and understand the content of the reading.

Despite numerous studies, the effects of ezetimibe on glucose metabolism are poorly understood. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of ezetimibe on glucose metabolism and the expression of inflammatory markers. Thirteen rats were randomly assigned to an ezetimibe (n = 6) or control group (n = 7). The control group received a high fat diet (HFD; 60 Kcal%), whereas the ezetimibe group received an HFD (60 Kcal%) containing 160 mg/kg of ezetimibe. After 14 weeks, adipose and liver tissues, along with plasma, were collected and comparatively analyzed. The effects of combination therapy with ezetimibe and statins on glucose metabolism were investigated over a 1-year period using data from patients with hyperlipidemia. Several indices of glucose metabolism partially improved in the ezetimibe group. The sizes of adipocytes and the accumulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines were reduced in the ezetimibe group. Ezetimibe treatment induced anti-inflammatory cytokines and fatty acid oxidation in adipocytes and reduced serum levels of free fatty acids. Clinical data analysis revealed that statin monotherapy significantly increased insulin resistance. However, combination therapy with ezetimibe and statins did not increase insulin resistance. In conclusion, ezetimibe was found to reduce the sizes of adipocytes in visceral fat and serum levels of free fatty acids, to induce fatty acid oxidation, to improve adipocytic inflammation, and to partially improve glycemic index values.
SGLT2 Inhibitor-Induced Sympathoexcitation in White Adipose Tissue: A Novel Mechanism for Beiging

Published: November 2020

Recent preclinical data show that sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are able to reduce weight gain and induce beiging in white adipose tissue (WAT). We have previously shown that in neurogenic hypertensive Schlager (BPH/2J) mice, treatment with the SGLT2 inhibitor, Dapagliflozin, reduced blood pressure and prevented weight gain. Here we show that chemical sympathetic denervation achieved by systemic administration of 6-hydroxy-dopamine (6-OHDA) reduces body weight and the heightened sympathetic nervous system (SNS) innervation in WAT. Furthermore, we demonstrate that 2 weeks of Dapagliflozin treatment increases SNS innervation in WAT of hypertensive mice. This increase is accompanied by a non-significant elevation in mRNA levels of the Ucp1 and Pgc-1α genes, which are markers of beiging. No significant difference in the mRNA levels of the inflammatory mediators Il-6 and Tnf-α were detected in WAT of Dapagliflozin treated mice. These findings suggest that SGLT-2 inhibitor-associated prevention of weight gain may be mediated, at least in part, by inducing the beiging of WAT.

This study investigates the structure of the tail dependence between the United States (US) and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) banking sectors for the period February 2010 to July 2017. Conditional value at risk and conditional diversification benefits are calculated. The GCC banking sectors show lower tail dependence with the US banking sector. This is confirmed by the fact that GCC banking sectors receive higher downside risk spillover from the US banking system during downside market movements compared to upside risk spillover effects. Interestingly, an equally weighted portfolio of US and GCC banking stocks can provide relatively higher diversification benefits. These findings have implications for portfolio diversification, asset allocation and hedging strategies.

The physiological microbiota of the vagina is responsible for providing a protective barrier, but Some factors can disturb the balance in its composition. At that time, the amounts of the genus Lactobacillus decrease, which may lead to the development of infection and severe complications during pregnancy. The aim of the study was the analysis of the bacterial composition of the vagina in 32 Caucasian women at each trimester of pregnancy using the next-generation sequencing method and primers targeting V3-V4 regions. In the studied group, the dominant species were Lactobacillus iners, Lactobacillus gasseri, and Lactobacillusplantarum. Statistically significant differences in the quantitative composition between trimesters were observed in relation to Lactobacillus jensenii,Streptococcus agalactiae, Lactobacillus iners, Gardnerella spp. Out of the 32 patients, 20 demonstrated fluctuations within the genus Lactobacillus, and 9 of them, at different stages of pregnancy, exhibited the presence of potentially pathogenic microbiota, among others: Streptococcus agalactiae, Gardnerella spp., Atopobium vaginae, and Enterococcus faecalis. The composition of the vaginal microbiota during pregnancy was subject to partial changes over trimesters. Although in one-third of the studied patients, both the qualitative and quantitative composition of microbiota was relatively constant, in the remaining patients, physiological and potentially pathogenic fluctuations were distinguished.
