Natural convection in a porous trapezoidal enclosure with magneto-hydrodynamic effect
Authors: Mamun M. A. H. A. H. , Islam Md. T. T. , Rahman Md. M. M. 
Published: September 2019

The effects of magnetic force, acting vertically downward on natural convection within a porous trapezoidal enclosure saturated with an electrically conducting fluid have been investigated numerically. The bottom wall of the enclosure is subjected to a constant hot temperature and the top wall experiences a constant cold temperature whereas the remaining sidewalls are kept adiabatic. The physical problems are represented mathematically by different sets of governing equations along with the corresponding boundary conditions. By using Galerkin weighted residual method of finite element formulation, the non-dimensional governing equations are discritized. For natural convection in a porous medium the influential parameters are the modified Rayleigh number Ram, the fluid Rayleigh number Raf , the inclination angle of the sidewalls of the cavity γ, the rotational angle of the enclosure Φ and the Hartmann number Ha, through which different thermo-fluid characteristics inside the enclosure are obtained. In the present study, the obtained results are presented in terms of streamlines, isotherms and average Nusselt number along the hot wall. The result shows that with increasing Ha, the diffusive heat transfer become prominent even though the modified Rayleigh number increases. Optimum heat transfer rate is obtained at higher values of Ram in the absence of magnetic force.

Authors: Misra A. K. K. 
Published: September 2019

In this paper a non-linear mathematical model for depletion of dissolved oxygen in a lake due to submerged macrophytes is proposed and analyzed. It is assumed that nutrients are continuously coming to the lake with a constant rate through water run off. In the modeling process five variables are considered, namely concentration of nutrients, density of algal population, density of macrophytes, density of detritus and concentration of dissolved oxygen. Equilibria of the model have been obtained and their stability discussed. The numerical simulation is also performed to support the obtained analytical results.

Authors: Warninda Titi Dewi , Hosen M. Nadratuzzaman 
Published: September 2019

This research aims to analyze efficiency and profitability of Islamic Rural Banks in Indonesia using Variable Returns to Scale model of Data Envelopment Analysis and efficiency-profitability matrix. The results of this research show that most of Islamic Rural Banks are included in the Dog quadrant (high efficiency but low profitability) and Sleeper quadrant (low efficiency but high profitability). Meanwhile, the result of correlation analysis between efficiency and profitability indicates that efficiency has a negative correlation with profitability. Negative correlation of efficiency and profitability is in accordance with the result of efficiency-profitability matrix. The results of this research show that not all of Islamic Rural Bank which have high efficiency are also having high profitability.DOI:10.15408/aiq.v7i1.1354

Authors: Beik Irfan Syauqi , Arsyianti Laily Dwi 
Published: September 2019

One of the major challenges faced by most of the Islamic countries is poverty. This paper attempts to construct the concept of poverty and welfare standards based on Islamic perspective.The study tries to cover both material and spiritual dimensions. These standards are based on CIBEST Quadrant, which is divided into four quadrants: welfare quadrant (I), material poverty quadrant (II), spiritual poverty quadrant (III) and absolute poverty quadrant (IV). Determination of these quadrants is resulted from criteria and indicators of basic material needs and basic spiritual needs. By using household as unit of analysis, this study is able to developCIBEST Model comprising welfare index, material poverty index, spiritual poverty index, and absolute poverty index. Mathematical formula and illustration of the indices are also elaborated to strengthen the concept.DOI:10.15408/aiq.v7i1.1361
RIBA AND ISLAMIC BANKING, EXAMINING THE PRACTICES OF JAIZ BANK PLC, NIGERIA
Authors: Hassan-bello Abdulmajeed Bolade 
Published: September 2019

Critics of Islamic banking argue, that how could Islamic banking work when interest (riba) is prohibited? Those in favour argue that Islamic banks can operate without interest. This is the contention of the paper. Islamic bank is a banking which operates without the norm of interest. However, the Muslim scholars have never seriously discussed the three basic questions. Riba, interest, are riba and interest synonymous. The most common application of riba is on monetary transaction relating to “loans” and “credits”. A unique feature of Islamic banking is its profit-and-loss sharing (PLS) paradigm, which is predominantly based on the mudarabah (profit-sharing) and musharaka (joint venture) concepts of Islamic contracting. However, Islamic banks are also criticized for not applying the principle of mudaraba in an acceptable manner. Where banks are eager to take part in profit-sharing but they have little tolerance for risk. Jaiz bank plc, the first Islamic bank in Nigeria, is a quoted public company owned by over 26,000 shareholders. Based on recommendations from Islamic Development Bank (IDB), which is also a shareholder of the bank, Jaiz Bank PLC had partnered with Islamic Bank of Bangladesh (IBBL). However, the Islamic Banks, generally, seem to attract a fraction of the business of financial transactions in any country where conventional banks operate. The challenge facing Islamic banks is the diversity of opinion among the Sharia scholars. Whether the particular practice or product, is Sharia compliant. The paper therefore, concludes that, by prohibition of riba, Islam wishes to establish an economic system where all forms of exploitation are eliminated. The difficulty to understand the prohibition comes from lack of appreciation of the whole complex of Islamic values. Thus, the future of Islamic banks depends not only upon investing in new products but also upon the satisfying the faith of the stakeholders.
Modern Technology Urgency in the Development of Islamic Law

Published: September 2019

This paper aims at examining the advancement of modern technology and its intersection with Islamic law. Some areas discussed are related to worship, family law, and medical treatment using organ transplantation. This study finds that some areas of Islamic law are statics, while others are dynamics. The modern technology has provided convenience for human beings such as the use of technology in pilgrimage; the determination of paternity; having baby through IVF, and the medical treatment for patients with heart failure. On the other hand, modern technology cannot change Islamic provisions on worship. Penelitian ini mencoba membahas kemajuan teknologi modern dan dampaknya terhadap hukum Islam, termasuk di bidang ibadah, hukum keluarga, dan perawatan medis seperti penggunakan transplantasi organ. Beberapa bidang hukum Islam bersifat statis sementara yang lain bersifat dinamis. Teknologi modern telah memberikan kemudahan bagi manusia seperti penggunaan teknologi dalam berhaji; penentuan ayah terhadap bayi melalui IVF, dan perawatan medis untuk pasien dengan gagal jantung. Di sisi lain, teknologi modern tidak dapat mengubah ketentuan Islam tentang ibadah.

Organisms adapt to the environment by establishing themselves in suitable locations. Adaptation to the harsh Antarctic environment is no different. In this work the communities of epilithic diatoms in ice-free areas of water systems of five Antarctic islands are studied. The samples were oxidized, and permanent sheets were later prepared for analysis of the material. They were examined using an optical microscope and mounted on stubs for identification of the taxon in an electron microscope. Fifty-nine species distributed in 28 genera were collected. Only four species were observed in all study areas. Deception Island had unique species in comparison with those on other islands. Knowing the diatom community is a first step in understanding the systems that they inhabit. The polar environment is challenging due to the difficulty of sampling and low diversity and abundance.

THE NOTION OF ANIMISM: SOME VIEWS FROM PROPHETIC TRADITION AND WESTERN ANTHROPOLOGIST PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Nasir Khairulnazrin , ISuliaman Ishak , Usman Abur Hamdi 
Published: September 2019

Purpose of Study: The prophetic tradition (al-Sunnah) as the second authentic source for Muslims includes guidance that touches all aspects of life, from economics, politics, laws, anthropology, etc. Some Western anthropologists stressed on debating the notion of animism which is a belief that everything exists in the universe has soul, spirit and must be respected. In fact, animism had been revered by all religions, and this theory was introduced by Edward Burnett Tylor (1832-1917) in the 19th century.
Methodology: This article discusses on animism from the perspectives of prophetic traditions and Western Anthropologist. By applying content analysis method, this article found that both parties have some similarities and differences. In lieu of this, Islam concluded that animism or the belief in the power of invisible spirits of people’s ancestors and the spirits of nature to influence the fortunes of humans on earth are blasphemous and deviant. While in view of Anthropologist, animism puts more emphasis on the uniqueness of each individual soul. Animists see themselves on roughly equal footing with other animals, plants, and natural forces, and subsequently, have a moral imperative to treat these agents with respect.
Implications/Applications: The implications for this kind of studies will open to discussions about anthropology through multi background and methods of data collection.

Published: September 2019

We demonstrate that the dynamics of tax competitiveness in the EU has gained a new higher level. The shift in the tax competition can be noted after new countries have joined the EU. Both positive and negative effects of tax competitiveness are discussed in the paper and the question of trade-off between the strong tax competitiveness of a country and magnitude of its tax revenue is raised. Evaluation of chosen countries using multiple criteria decision aid methods (MCDA) shed more light on the opposition of two groups of countries, the old and new members of the EU, provided more details on the both the present state and dynamics of tax competitiveness in the. The evaluation methodology can be successfully used for monitoring the current state of tax competitiveness of each member country. Prominence of the multiple criteria evaluation TOPSIS method of MCDA evaluation is described.
Keywords: Competitiveness of countries, tax system, tax competition, tax revenues, multiple criteria evaluation, TOPSIS.
The Good Egg by J., J., and P. Oswald
Authors: Gordon Tara 
Published: September 2019

John, Jory and Pete Oswald. The Good Egg. HarperCollins Children’s Books, 2019.
This imaginative picture book by bestselling creators Jory John and Pete Oswald uses beautiful illustrations and humour to tackle social and emotional skills. The Good Egg is the counterpart to the duo’s book The Bad Seed.
As the title suggests, the main character of this book is a good egg, “A verrrrrry good egg.”
The beginning of the book shows how the good egg stands apart from the rest of the rowdy dozen in his carton by trying to do good deeds—he’s rescuing a cat when we first meet him.
But as the story progresses, we see that the good egg is trying so hard to be good, while everyone around him is rotten, that he reaches a breaking point. The good egg literally begins to crack from all of the self-imposed pressure. Deciding that it is in his best interest to leave the carton, the good egg embarks on a journey of self-care, and self-reflection.
On his journey, the good egg finds peace by taking walks, reading, writing in his journal, and just breathing. Eventually, the good egg starts to feel like himself again. At the same time, he realizes that he is lonely without his friends. He learns that even though the other eggs aren’t perfect, he doesn’t have to be either. The good egg decides that it is much better to be with those you love than to be alone, so he returns to his carton.
The detailed and expressive illustrations by Oswald bring the characters in The Good Egg to life, making them relatable to kids. The story flows nicely with just the right amount of words, making it a good read-aloud, and useful for class and family discussions on topics like perfectionism, self-care, and accepting yourself and others as they are. It is one of those picture books that gives kids an opportunity to put themselves in someone else’s shoes and to empathize. Overall, The Good Egg reminds us of the importance of balance and self-care, and accepting those we love, even if they are a bit rotten sometimes.
Highly recommended: 4 stars out of 4Reviewer: Tara GordonTara Gordon is a University of Alberta SLIS student with a lifelong passion for children’s books. Outside of school, Tara enjoys spending time with her husband and two children.

Modeling of Matrix/Fracture Transfer with Nonuniform-Block Distributions in Low-Permeability Fractured Reservoirs
Authors: Ding Didier–Yu 
Published: September 2019

Summary
Unconventional shale–gas and tight oil reservoirs are commonly naturally fractured, and developing these kinds of reservoirs requires stimulation by means of hydraulic fracturing to create conductive fluid–flow paths through open–fracture networks for practical exploitation. The presence of the multiscale–fracture network, including hydraulic fractures, stimulated and nonstimulated natural fractures, and microfractures, increases the complexity of the reservoir simulation. The matrix–block sizes are not uniform and can vary in a very wide range, from several tens of centimeters to meters. In such a reservoir, the matrix provides most of the pore volume for storage but makes only a small contribution to the global flow; the fracture supplies the flow, but with negligible contributions to reservoir porosity. The hydrocarbon is mainly produced from matrix/fracture interaction. So, it is essential to accurately model the matrix/fracture transfers with a reservoir simulator.
For the fluid–flow simulation in shale–gas and tight oil reservoirs, dual–porosity models are widely used. In a commonly used dual–porosity–reservoir simulator, fractures are homogenized from a discrete–fracture network, and a shape factor based on the homogenized–matrix–block size is applied to model the matrix/fracture transfer. Even for the embedded discrete–fracture model (EDFM), the matrix/fracture interaction is also commonly modeled using the dual–porosity concept with a constant shape factor (or matrix/fracture transmissibility). However, in real cases, the discrete–fracture networks are very complex and nonuniformly distributed. It is difficult to determine an equivalent shape factor to compute matrix/fracture transfer in a multiple–block system. So, a dual–porosity approach might not be accurate for the simulation of shale-gas and tight oil reservoirs because of the presence of complex multiscale–fracture networks.
In this paper, we study the multiple–interacting–continua (MINC) method for flow modeling in fractured reservoirs. MINC is commonly considered as an improvement of the dual–porosity model. However, a standard MINC approach, using transmissibilities derived from the MINC proximity function, cannot always correctly handle the matrix/fracture transfers when the matrix–block sizes are not uniformly distributed. To overcome this insufficiency, some new approaches for the MINC subdivision and the transmissibility computations are presented in this paper. Several examples are presented to show that using the new approaches significantly improves the dual–porosity model and the standard MINC method for nonuniform–block–size distributions.
