INVESTMENT DECISION MAKING TOWARDS INVESTING IN ISLAMIC UNIT TRUSTS AMONGST WOMEN
Authors: Mohd Aziz Nor Izzati , Kassim Salina 
Published: February 2021

The differences in skill expectations and knowledge are amongst factors that contribute to the variances when men and women choose financial products. Women are claimed to be risk averse, somewhat insecure, lacking self-confidence and interest in financial investment products. Nevertheless, the evolving working and educational environment has changed this stereotype, wherein women are increasingly more educated, knowledgeable, and are more exposed to investments. Gender equality between men and women in terms of the volume of investments has turned into a requirement that boosts economic growth with people being the most important factor to contribute through investing habit. This cannot be realised if only men are involved in investment. Financial institutions aim certain figures of targeted investment volume each year. As such, this study identified the factors of women investments, particularly in Islamic unit trusts. A total of 201 respondents were selected via the convenience sampling technique. The Likert scale questionnaires were analysed using SMART PLS software. As a result, several investment behaviours, including investment objectives, return expectations, awareness, and risk attitude, emerged as factors that influenced women investors to choose unit trusts. The study outcomes are beneficial in devising effective strategies that may attract women to invest in Islamic unit trust. Besides, certain agencies should conduct campaigns or seminars on financial literacy for this potential sector, so as to enhance their knowledge in investing in Islamic unit trusts.

Dewasa ini gaya hidup Hypebeast sedang digemari oleh berbagai kalangan khususnya para remaja. Hypebeast merupakan gaya hidup dimana seseorang terobsesi dengan berpenampilan bergaya mewah dan rela mengeluarkan uang cukup banyak untuk membeli barang-barang yang sedang booming (hype) untuk tetap terlihat stylish dan kekinian. Seiring berkembangnya zaman, Tren Hypebeast pun menjadi lebih luas lagi tidak hanya fokus kepada fashion streetwear tetapi juga membahas gaya hidup atau tren orang-orang diperkotaan. Hypebeast dan bagaimana cara orang-orang dalam menerapkan gaya hidup ini menjadi sebuah permasalahan apabila tren tersebut dihubungkan dengan isi kandungan ayat-ayat dalam Al-Quran dan Al-Hadist. Korelasi antara keduanya yaitu mengenai hukum orang tua dalam mendidik anak-anaknya yang telah dijelaskan di dalam Alquran Surat An-Nisa ayat 9 dan hukum orang yang menyianyiakan hartanya, yang telah dijelaskan di dalam surah Al-Anam ayat 141. Di dalam agama islam hukum tersebut telah diatur sedemikian rupa oleh Allah SWT. Hal itu membuat para penggiat tren Hypebeast khususnya umat muslim kebingungan, apakah tren ini diperbolehkan atau tidak menurut pandangan Al-Quran dan Al-Hadist. Berdasarkan uraian dan latar belakang di atas maka penulis menjelaskan maksud tujuan dari artikel ini yaitu untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tren gaya hidup hypebeast dengan Al-quran Surat An-Nisa Ayat 9 dan Surat Al-Anam Ayat 141.

Published: February 2021

Aims: To evaluate the prognostic value of the preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) in patients who underwent cardiac surgery.Methods: Clinical data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. The optimal cutoff value of LMR was determined by X-tile software. The Cox proportional hazard model was applied for the identification of independent prognostic factors of 4-year mortality and survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. In order to balance the influence of potential confounding factors, a 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) method was performed.Results: A total of 1,701 patients were included. The X-tile software indicated that the optimal cutoff value of the LMR for 4-year mortality was 3.58. After PSM, 489 pairs of score-matched patients were generated. The Cox proportional hazard model showed that patients with an LMR &lt; 3.58 had a significantly higher 4-year mortality than patients with an LMR ≥ 3.58 in the entire cohort (HR = 1.925, 95%CI: 1.509–2.456, p &lt; 0.001) and the PSM subset (HR = 1.568, 95%CI: 1.2–2.05, p = 0.001). The survival curves showed that patients with an LMR &lt; 3.58 had a significant lower 4-year survival rate in the entire cohort (71.7 vs. 88.5%, p &lt; 0.001) and the PSM subset (73.2 vs. 81.4%, p = 0.002).Conclusions: A lower LMR (&lt;3.58) was associated with a higher risk of 4-year mortality and can serve as a prognostic predictor of the long-term mortality in cardiac surgery patients.
Optimal Transponder Array and Survey Line Configurations for GNSS-A Observation Evaluated by Numerical Simulation

Published: February 2021

The Global Navigation Satellite System-Acoustic ranging combination technique (GNSS-A) has enabled us to measure seafloor crustal deformation in the precision of centimeters, leading to numerous discoveries of subseafloor tectonic phenomena. The moving observation conducted by our research group allows us to measure both the horizontal and vertical absolute positions of a reference point on the seafloor. However, the observation frequency of our GNSS-A observation system is still insufficient to observe short-term phenomena. This paper focused on the possibility to reduce the observation time per a seafloor site by shrinking the seafloor transponder array size and the survey line radius, which were empirically defined to be equal to the seafloor site depth in the early research. We evaluated the effects of changing these sizes on the GNSS-A positioning accuracy by conducting a series of numerical experiments. The results of the numerical experiments indicated that for a seafloor site with a depth of 3,000 m, the positioning accuracy is rapidly degraded as the transponder array size and the survey line radius are reduced to less than 3,000 m. Additional experiments done for transponder array sizes and survey line radii around 2,000–4,000 m revealed that shrinking the survey line radius has a dominant effect on the decrease in positioning accuracy. Thus, shrinking the transponder array size and the survey line radius is not a suitable option for reducing observation time, and the empirically defined observation configurations are concluded to be quite optimal when regarding both the positioning accuracy and the observation time.
Metformin Use Is Associated With a Lower Incidence of Hospitalization for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Tseng Chin-Hsiao 
Published: February 2021

Background: The effect of metformin on the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) requires confirmation. This retrospective cohort study compared the incidence of hospitalization for AF in ever and never users of metformin.Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus during 1999–2005 were enrolled from Taiwan's National Health Insurance database. Analyses were conducted in both an unmatched cohort of 173,398 ever users and 21,666 never users and in a propensity score-matched cohort of 21,662 pairs of ever and never users. They were free from a diagnosis of AF before January 1, 2006 and were followed up until December 31, 2011. Hazard ratios were estimated by Cox regression incorporated with the inverse probability of treatment weighting using the propensity score.Results: A total of 303 ever users and 86 never users in the unmatched cohort and 56 ever users and 86 never users in the matched cohort developed hospitalization for AF during follow-up. The respective incidence rates were 37.72 and 92.45 per 100,000 person-years in the unmatched cohort and were 56.98 and 92.46 per 100,000 person-years in the matched cohort. The hazard ratio for ever vs. never users was 0.405 (95% confidence interval: 0.319–0.515) in the unmatched cohort and 0.617 (0.441–0.864) in the matched cohort. Hazard ratios for the tertiles of cumulative duration of metformin therapy vs. never users showed a dose-response effect. The findings were consistent in sensitivity analyses.Conclusion: Metformin use is associated with a lower risk of hospitalization for AF in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
