Authors: Kasmon Balkis , Ibrahim Siti Sara , Daud Dalila , Raja Hisham Raja Rizal Iskandar , Ratnasari Ririn Tri 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the impact of digitalisation on waqf activities, focussing on blockchain, crowdfunding and artificial intelligence to predict future trends in digitalisation within waqf activities.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a quantitative approach to combine the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DIT) to comprehensively analyze the elements that affect the adoption of digital technology. SmartPLS software conducted the data analysis after collecting the data using SPSS. In this study, 310 respondents comprising Muslims who contribute to waqf were collected.

Findings
This research provides important insights into the elements influencing future behavior and can help policymakers promote and facilitate the digitalisation of waqf activities, not only in Malaysia but also in similar situations worldwide.

Research limitations/implications
Analysis indicated that four hypotheses were validated, implying that effort expectancy, compatibility, observability and trialability are significant determinants affecting intention. The findings suggest significant potential for further research. This paper delineates numerous methodological challenges and concerns while proposing recommendations for further research. Future research could use additional search phrases and engines not incorporated in this study to provide a more comprehensive overview. This study primarily concentrates on the applications of waqf development, digitalisation, blockchain, crowdfunding and artificial intelligence.

Practical implications
The four hypotheses regarding facilitating condition, performance expectation, relative advantage and social influence were not supported as they were found to have no significant impact on intention. For practitioners, based on the findings, it can give some insight into digitalisation’s influence on the intention of contributing to waqf in society. As for the researchers, there could be some ideas to study other than the factors mentioned in this study, as well as the supporting literature for their studies.

Originality/value
This paper provides useful insights on how emerging technology can potentially disrupt the traditional waqf landscape. It emphasizes the unique contributions of digitalization in improving transparency and accessibility, blockchain in ensuring security and trust, crowdfunding in mobilizing resources and artificial intelligence in optimizing decision-making processes.
Panaka and ayllu: autoethnography of what my two mothers taught me about interculturality and gender
Authors: Driscoll Trevor , Mondaca Rojas Carlos 
Published: November 2024

PurposeI set out on this qualitative investigation in order to grow intercultural communicative competence (ICC) by answering questions I have had about the differences between the cultures of my two homes. I examined feminist anthropological theories of the macro-region sur Andino regarding Marianism and absent fathers in the mestizo population, the role of panaka, and the collapse of ayllu.Design/methodology/approachThe autoethnography lent itself to answering these questions due to my position as a son in the two cultures. Autoethnography explicitly adds both the first-person voice to the research and the authors' positionality. The typology used is analytical realist.FindingsI used my memories of my mother and mother-in-law, “mi suegra,” to dialog with the literature and attempt to highlight and explain the differences in the maternal gender roles of the mestizo Latina culture and the British-Canadian culture.Practical implicationsThis research serves as a tool for both language learning and global citizenship education. Language students, teachers and investigators may strengthen their ICC through reflection on cultural differences.Social implicationsThe research has the potential to inform and inspire educational and social interventions aimed at promoting more equitable and inclusive gender roles. By shedding light on gender stereotypes, this work could be a valuable resource for teachers, family counselors and support service professionals.Originality/valueThe portrait painted of the maternal gender roles of the cultures of Latin America and Canada adds to intercultural competence and sensitivity.

This paper offers unique contribution by presenting 14 practical strategies geared towards gender equality in workplace, which can be adopted by organizations to foster an inclusive work culture.
Solid‐state fermentation: Bioconversions and impacts on bioactive and nutritional compounds in oats
Authors: Green Stella , Eyres Graham T. , Agyei Dominic , Kebede Biniam 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe nutritional value of oats can be enhanced through solid‐state fermentation (SSF) to release otherwise tightly bound, inaccessible nutrients and bioactives. Extensive research has shown that SSF can liberate bioactive compounds from oats, such as phenolic compounds and peptides through modification of the microstructure. Studies also demonstrate that SSF enhances the bioactive properties of oats, including antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer, anti‐inflammatory, and angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitory. Additionally, SSF can modify the macronutrient and antinutritional components of oat substrates. In particular, the protein fraction can be enriched by SSF with filamentous fungi due to the inherently proteinous nature of their mycelium. Most SSF microorganisms can also reduce the antinutritional compounds in oats like tannins and phytic acid. Despite the breadth of SSF research for oat substrates, no review exists for oat specifically and more generally, and no review exists considering bioactive and nutritional aspects together. This review extensively discussed these facets. Future research avenues are explored and should provide insight into the microstructural modification of oats as a function of different fermentation conditions by leveraging advancements in imaging. Mechanistic and quantitative insight into how these structural changes and biotransformations influence the release of bioactive compounds (including the dynamic digestion process) should be explored. The molecular mechanism by which specific SSFed oat bioactive compounds (phenols and peptides) confer their biological effects requires further development. Combining analysis of the macronutrient and bioactive properties of solid‐state‐fermented oat substrates provides a more detailed picture of the overall nutritional value and health implications of solid‐state fermented oat products.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundChronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) has a great impact on quality of life and socioeconomic status. The mechanisms behind CPSP remain poorly understood, however type of surgical intervention seems to play a role. Gastrointestinal surgeries are common procedures, yet research in CPSP following gastrointestinal surgery is limited. The objective of this scoping review was to map the current literature on CPSP following gastrointestinal surgery, identifying how CPSP have been investigated, and which evidence gaps exist.MethodsThis scoping review followed a pre‐published protocol and PRISMA‐ScR guidelines. A search was carried out in Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Central, Clinicaltrials.Gov, and Google Scholar. Eligible studies were original studies involving adults, undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, who had a pain assessment ≥30 days postoperatively. A two‐phase screening process and data charting were done by two independent reviewers.ResultsA total of 53 studies were included, published between 2001 and 2024, predominantly across Europe and Asia. The range of CPSP prevalence reported was 3.3%–46.1%. Only half the studies clearly defined CPSP, and the timing and manner of pain assessment varied considerably. Twenty‐seven studies assessed risk factors for developing CPSP: preoperative pain and acute postoperative pain were consistently significant.ConclusionsThere was a wide consensus on CPSPs' negative impact on quality of life. CPSP following gastrointestinal surgery is prevalent and significantly impacts quality of life. Standardized definitions and methodologies to improve the comparability and reliability of the findings across studies are needed. Future research should focus on CPSP following specific surgical procedures to develop tailored prevention and treatment strategies.

Published: November 2024

AbstractIntroductionFetal skeletal abnormalities can be caused by various factors and genetic cause plays an important role. Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) has been shown to be a powerful approach for accurate prenatal molecular diagnoses. Diagnostic yield of ES in fetal skeletal abnormalities varies significantly across studies. This study aimed to perform a systematic review of the literature and meta‐analysis to assess the incremental yield of ES in fetuses with different kinds of skeletal abnormalities and a negative result on chromosome microarray or karyotyping.Material and MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched up to November 26, 2022. Relevant data were collected from observational studies containing five or more cases of skeletal abnormalities who underwent ES. The incremental yield of ES was evaluated by single proportion analysis and 95% confidence interval (CI), both according to the article features and individual phenotypes. This study was registered on PROSPERO as CRD42022382800.ResultsTwenty‐six studies including 524 individuals met the inclusion criteria. The pooled incremental yield was 60.2% (95% CI, 53.4%–66.9%) for all fetuses with skeletal abnormalities. In subgroup analysis, the additional diagnostic yield was 83.9% (95% CI, 76.4%–90.4%) in isolated dysplasia cases (group I), 52.0% (95% CI, 32.9%–70.9%) in dysplasia with non‐skeletal abnormalities cases (group II), 33.3% (95% CI, 19.3%–48.6%) in isolate dysostoses cases (group III), 47.8% (95 % CI, 35.8%–60.0%) in dysostoses with non‐skeletal abnormalities cases (group IV), 83.0% (95% CI, 63.7%–97.1%) in combination of the two phenotypes without non‐skeletal abnormalities cases (group V), 74.5% (95% CI, 54.9%–90.9%) in combination of the two phenotypes with non‐skeletal abnormalities cases (group VI). The origin of the pathogenic variations differed among the groups. Most causative variants were de novo in groups I (97/133, 72.9%), V (14/23, 60.9%), and VI (15/26, 57.7%). Meanwhile, pathogenic variations in III (18/25, 72.0%) and IV (37/67, 55.2%) were more often inherited from a parent.ConclusionsES had a favorable incremental yield in fetuses with skeletal abnormalities. The common pathogenic variations and genetic patterns of skeletal abnormalities vary among different subtypes. Interpreting this difference is beneficial for personalized clinical consultation.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundDry eye disease is a common ocular condition, affecting quality of life and function for many people worldwide. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness and safety of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for dry eye symptoms due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), as they are not yet established.MethodsComprehensive searches were conducted in January 2024 (Cochrane Library, Embase, MEDLINE). We included randomized controlled studies assessing the effects of IPL on dry eye symptoms or any adverse effects in patients with MGD. Two authors independently screened studies and evaluated the risk of bias. Meta‐analysis (random effects model) and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) were used to synthesize results and assess certainty of evidence.ResultsIn total, 13 studies were included in the review. The risk of bias was assessed as moderate in most results primarily due to the risk of selective reporting. The synthesis and GRADE assessment show that IPL probably results in a clinically relevant reduction in symptoms of dry eyes when compared to placebo (MD = −16 OSDI points; 95% CI = −20 to −12). However, whether the effect is clinically relevant when used as an add‐on to standard care is still unclear (MD = −7 OSDI points; 95% CI = −12 to −3). Furthermore, the evidence on adverse events is very uncertain.ConclusionAlthough IPL probably results in a clinically relevant reduction in symptoms of dry eyes when compared to placebo, in practice IPL would typically be used as an add‐on to standard treatment. It is therefore essential with further studies investigating whether this use would give a clinically relevant reduction in symptoms, and what the potential harm of IPL is when treating MGD.
A review of perioperative mortality in pet rabbits in Australia
Authors: Pieper EG , Carter JE , Firestone SM , Baron HR 
Published: November 2024

IntroductionDomestic rabbits have higher perioperative mortality rates (1.39%–4.8%) compared with dogs and cats (0.1%–0.2%), with cardiovascular and respiratory complications reported most. Understanding anaesthetic risk factors is essential to minimise mortality risks.ObjectiveTo determine the perioperative mortality risks and risk factors in rabbits undergoing general anaesthesia.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study evaluated 1757 records of rabbits that underwent general anaesthesia with inhaled isoflurane, categorised by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system (January 2019–April 2023). Data were collected on physical characteristics, anaesthetic protocol, airway management and patient outcomes. Potential risk factors were analysed using multivariable logistic regression modelling guided by directed acyclic graphs.ResultsThe perioperative mortality risk was 2.05% (95% CI: 1.39, 2.71). Increased mortality was most associated with poorer health status (ASA score) and non‐routine procedures. Following induction of anaesthesia, rabbits with a body mass of less than 1 kg (RR: 7.57, 95% CI: 1.18, 61.2) and Netherland Dwarf rabbits (RR: 23.4, 95% CI: 2.75, 200) were at higher risk. The use of a supraglottic airway device was protective against mortality during anaesthesia compared with endotracheal tubes (RR: 0.27, 95% CI 0, 3.78) and anaesthetic masks (RR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0, 3.71). Increased mortality was observed with a fentanyl‐based protocol compared with a medetomidine‐based protocol (RR: 4.62, 95% CI: 0.477, 44.7).DiscussionPerioperative mortality was multifactorial, with health status, surgical complexity and physical characteristics representing primary risk factors. Clinicians should choose a suitable anaesthetic protocol, implement effective airway control and follow precautions for brachycephalic rabbit breeds.

AbstractProjections of future gastric cancer incidence and the demand for health‐care services for gastric cancer patients by geographic area will assist local authorities in determining health‐care needs, allocating medical resources, and planning services. This study aims to project the future incidence of gastric cancer, estimate the number of patients per medical institution, and decompose the net changes in cases to assess the impact of population aging by geographic area. Our projections are based on population‐based cancer registry data, census data from 2000 to 2020, and the projected population for 2025–2045 in Kanagawa, Japan. We classified Kanagawa into urban, town, outer city, and rural areas based on geographic and population features. The number of medical institutions providing gastric cancer treatment was used to estimate the number of patients per medical institution. We projected a decrease of 25%, 52%, and 5% in gastric cancer cases in towns, outer cities, and rural areas from 2020 to 2045, respectively. However, cases are expected to increase by 9% in urban areas, primarily due to population aging. The annual number of gastric cancer patients per medical institution in urban areas is expected to increase from 54 to 59, while numbers in other areas are predicted to decline from 2020 to 2045. Our long‐term projections indicate that the number of older gastric cancer patients will continue to increase in urban areas. While current measures effectively reduce gastric cancer risk, they need to be revised to address the impact of population aging.

AbstractInfigratinib, an FGFR1‐3 selective oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown clinical activity in cancers with FGFR alterations. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of infigratinib and its major metabolites have been characterized in global populations. This study examined the PK profile of infigratinib and its metabolites in Chinese patients. In this phase II, open‐label, single‐arm study in China, patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC) or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJ) harboring FGFR2 gene amplification received 125 mg infigratinib orally once daily in a “3 weeks on, 1 week off” schedule for 28‐day cycles. Plasma PK parameters were calculated with a non‐compartmental model. Data were available from 21 patients (19 GC and two GEJ). After a single dose, peak infigratinib plasma concentration was reached at a median time of 3.1 h, with geometric mean Cmax of 85.9 ng/mL and AUC0‐t of 637 h*ng/mL. After 21‐day dosing, geometric mean infigratinib Cmax,ss of 204 ng/mL was reached at a median of 4.0 h; geometric mean AUC0‐24,ss was 3060 h*ng/mL. The geometric mean Rac,Cmax (%CV) and Rac,AUC0‐24 (%CV) of infigratinib was 2.5 (113.8) and 5.1 (138.2), respectively. A steady state of infigratinib was reached after continuous dosing for 15 days. The metabolites accounting for >10% of infigratinib were BHS697 and CQM157. The PK profiles of infigratinib and its metabolites in Chinese patients with GC or GEJ were largely consistent with known PK profiles of infigratinib from global populations.
Understanding inequities in access to diabetes technologies in children and young people with type 1 diabetes: Qualitative study of healthcare professionals' perspectives and views

Published: November 2024

AbstractAimsWe explored healthcare professionals' perceptions and understandings of the factors and considerations underlying inequities in technology access in children and young people (CYP) with type 1 diabetes.MethodsWe interviewed (n = 29) healthcare professionals working in paediatric diabetes in England recruited from (n = 15) purposively selected sites. We analysed data thematically.ResultsInterviewees highlighted multiple, often overlapping barriers to accessing technology faced by CYP with type 1 diabetes from deprived and/or ethnic minority backgrounds. They described the impacts of deprivation on technology uptake, together with the complex social, ethnic and cultural factors that could also reinforce disparities in technology access. Interviewees further highlighted staffing shortfalls as a significant barrier to supporting CYP to use technology, especially those from under‐represented groups who they perceived as requiring more staff time to be trained to use technology. While interviewees suggested that unconscious bias has become less prominent, they reported being less likely to recommend technology (especially pumps) to CYP/caregivers who they feared would not use it safely and effectively (e.g. those with low literacy levels). Interviewees also highlighted geographical variability in the technology commissioning process (a ‘postcode lottery’).ConclusionsOur findings suggest that without targeted interventions, technology inequities may continue to persist amongst CYP from the most and least deprived areas and from white and ethnic minority groups in the United Kingdom. Additionally, our findings suggest that closing the technology gap will require large‐scale governmental and health policies aimed at fostering socioeconomic, ethnic and cultural equality alongside targeted measures to improve technology accessibility.
Combating trade‐related fraud: do the Financial Action Task Force recommendations bite?
Authors: Bensassi Sami , Raz Arisyi F. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWe evaluate the efficacy of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations 2012, which set the global standard on combating money laundering and terrorist financing, by exploiting its staggered adoption in 16 East and South African countries. Using the trade gap as a proxy for trade‐related fraud activities, such as trade‐based money laundering, we find that the adoption of the FATF recommendations is correlated with a 15.3% reduction in trade‐related fraud. The FATF is particularly effective within countries with capable state and low corruption. The amount by which FATF adoption can reduce trade‐related fraud depends on a country's compliance level. Our results are robust to a series of robustness checks and contribute to a lively policy debate surrounding the role of international organizations in combating the financing of organized crimes.
