Authors: bin Md Nor Ahmad Hidayat , Muneeza Aishath , Mohsin Magda 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This study aims to develop a comprehensive insolvency model tailored to Islamic banks, ensuring alignment with Shariah principles throughout pre-insolvency, bankruptcy and post-bankruptcy stages.

Design/methodology/approach
The research adopts a qualitative research method, using a desktop research approach. Primary sources and secondary sources are examined to gather information and draw conclusions.

Findings
This study presents a comprehensive insolvency model designed for Islamic banks, rooted in Shariah principles. The model covers pre-insolvency, bankruptcy (taflis) and post-bankruptcy stages, incorporating key Shariah parameters to ensure adherence to Islamic finance principles. It addresses challenges such as adapting to dynamic financial landscapes and varying interpretations of Shariah principles. Notably, the model recognizes the separate legal personality of Islamic banks and emphasizes transparency, fairness and compliance with religious obligations. In the post-bankruptcy stage, directors are urged to voluntarily settle remaining debts, aligning with ethical and Shariah-compliant standards.

Originality/value
The study contributes to the stability and growth of Shariah-compliant financial systems by extending insolvency principles to Islamic banks, providing a foundation for future research and policymaking specific to this context.

The influence of family social capital toward the entrepreneurial intention among prospective graduates in Tanzanian universities
Authors: Elias Ruth 
Published: March 2024

PurposeThe study examines the influence of family social capital on prospective university graduates' entrepreneurial intentions in Tanzania. The study also looks at the way entrepreneurial education amplifies the primary link between the study variables.Design/methodology/approachCross-sectional data were gathered at a specific period from potential graduates in Tanzanian universities using structured questionnaires under the quantitative approach. The links between family social capital, entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention were examined using the PROCESS macro.FindingsFamily social capital significantly influences the entrepreneurial intention of prospective Tanzanian university graduates. The entrepreneurial intentions of prospective graduates from Tanzanian universities are positively and significantly impacted by entrepreneurship education. The relationship between family social capital and the entrepreneurial intention of prospective graduates from Tanzanian universities is positively and significantly moderated by entrepreneurship education, and as a result, the positive impact of family social capital is amplified with increased entrepreneurship education.Research limitations/implicationsThis study examines the impact of family social capital on the entrepreneurial intention of the prospective graduates from Tanzanian Universities. Other studies may look at the impact of family social capital on entrepreneurial intention when controlled with social capital acquired after university life. This is to check if the entrepreneurial intention has changed in any way.Practical implicationsUniversities should stress the importance of offering entrepreneurship education as a way to complement and amplify the influence of family support on encouraging people to intend to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities. This is because the presence of entrepreneurship education increases the positive impact of family social capital on entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, families should have the culture of having good relationship that brings strong family social capital which are necessary for the intention to pursue entrepreneurship opportunities.Originality/valueThe study advances the literature on analysing the entrepreneurial intention of prospective graduates in Tanzanian universities by giving empirical evidence from Tanzania. The report also identifies entrepreneurship education as a crucial programme to enhance the impact of family social capital and entrepreneurial intention on aspiring graduates in Tanzanian universities. Furthermore, the study shows the importance of family social capital on the prospective graduate’s intention to pursue entrepreneurship opportunities.

A review on Gharar dimension in modern Islamic finance transactions
Authors: Mohd Noh Mohd Shahid , Nor Azelan Suffian Haqiem , Zulkepli Muhammad Izzul Syahmi 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This study aims to systematically review the literature on modern Islamic finance transactions pertaining to Gharar dimensions. Gharar is defined as uncertainty that potentially leads to ambiguities and conflicts in contracts.

Design/methodology/approach
The articles reviewed in this study consisted of 13 articles related to Gharar published between 2013 and 2022. All selected articles were empirically and descriptively searched using specific keywords and strings. The main sources for this study were Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), whereas Google Scholar was a supportive database.

Findings
The review found that the dimensions that discussed previous research were trying their best to elaborating Gharar in modern financial transactions. They also demonstrate that rigorous study and deployment of the definition remain in the context defined by jurisprudence scholars. The focus of recent studies pertaining to Gharar is derivatives products that indicate high possibility of uncertainty in its operation.

Research limitations/implications
This method relies heavily on the accessed database, namely, Scopus and WoS, also referred to the articles as recommended by the databases. Furthermore, the criteria of inclusion and exclusion of papers outlined by the authors deemed as an intrinsic limitation in writing systematic literature review.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is original in its nature whereby the scholars had different comprehension on how Gharar exists in transaction but they still centred in its original meaning of uncertainty. As a result, this paper also realized how Gharar were interpreted differently relied on the contract’s nature and behaviour. In addition, this paper is expected to contribute to understand how Gharar been interpreted in modern finance transactions and finally reached to the point that further research is needed in establishing Gharar parameter for each contract in Islamic commercial law.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe termpyric herbivorywas first introduced in 2009, describing how fire shapes herbivory as burned areas attract herbivores and, simultaneously, herbivory shapes fuel load and fire behaviour. Pyric herbivory results in a mosaic of patches with varying levels of herbivory and grazing intensity fire intensity and frequency. The importance of pyric herbivory for ecosystem heterogeneity and biodiversity has been described for North American, Australian and African systems, but the concept remains largely untested in a European context.We introduced fire and herbivory in a full‐factorial experiment in a temperate European wood‐pasture system to test whether pyric herbivory operates in ways comparable to grassy systems elsewhere in the world. Using camera traps, we observed the behaviour of cattle in burned subplots (49 m2) compared with unburned subplots. We measured grass height and the proportion of the subplot that burned as variables affecting cattle preference and to assess how grazing affects fire behaviour. We also examined the effect on plant species and life‐form composition after six seasons of treatment.Cattle spent more time grazing in burned than in unburned subplots in the most productive paddock, where a larger proportion of the subplot burned. The proportion of a subplot that burned was positively related to pre‐fire grass height. Moreover, both grass height and the proportion of subplot burned declined in the burned subplots during the 6‐year study period and fire and cattle grazing altered the relative cover of graminoids and shrubs (Rubusspp.), with more graminoids in grazed and/or burned subplots and more shrubs in ungrazed subplots at the end of the study.Synthesis and applications. In our temperate European wood pasture, fire and (cattle) grazing interacted in ways comparable to pyric herbivory in grassy ecosystems elsewhere in the world, especially in the most productive paddock. Fire attracted grazing, with cattle grazing longer on subplots that burned more fully. Grazing also affected fire, where over the course of our experiment cattle grazing reduced grass height and the proportion of a subplot that burned. We suggest that pyric herbivory is an interesting management method to further explore in the European context to address the loss of biodiversity in open ecosystems, particularly in more productive sites.
Modeling e‐Truck adoption for sustainable transport in Jordan: A system dynamics approach
Authors: Abaddi Samer 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis study has developed a model that predicts the quantity of CO2 emissions reduced and the adoption of e‐Trucks until the year 2100 in Jordan. Using system dynamics software (Powersim) and business intelligence tools (Microsoft Power BI), the most significant factors affecting three modules: environment, government, and customer were examined. Twelve scenarios were modeled during the study (three factors and four cases for each factor). The factors were marketing effectiveness, environmental awareness, and government acquisition subsidy, and their values were (0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5), (0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6), and (500, 1500, 3000, 6000 Jordanian Dinar—JOD), respectively. Under normal conditions, with a marketing effectiveness of 0.2, environmental awareness of 0.3, and a subsidy of 500 JOD, the annual sales of e‐Trucks and Conventional Fuel Trucks (CFT) will break‐even in 2052 in Jordan. The cumulative CO2 emissions reduction at the same year will be 6165.213 Tons. Among the three factors, marketing effectiveness was found to have the highest impact followed by the environmental awareness and last came the acquisition subsidy. Based on our findings, it is recommended that policymakers prioritize improving marketing efforts to accelerate the shift towards e‐Trucks, raise environmental awareness among consumers, and provide subsidies for acquisition of e‐Trucks in Jordan. Additionally, further research is needed to incorporate other factors, such as ICT infrastructure, technology maturity and other social factors that can affect the adoption of e‐Trucks. The study's originality lies in its focus on e‐Trucks, a relatively underexplored area in the sustainable transport literature, especially in the context of Jordan as many other emerging nations. The practical implications include leading the switch to e‐Trucks, identifying infrastructural needs, and informing legislative choices. By analyzing long‐term dynamics and encouraging the deployment of e‐Trucks, it seeks to lower CO2 emissions, enhance air quality, and promote a sustainable transportation system in Jordan.

AbstractBackgroundWhile sleep and circadian rhythms are recognized contributors to the risk for alcohol use and related problems, few studies have examined whether objective sleep and circadian measures can predict future alcohol use in humans, and no such studies have been conducted in adults. This study examined whether any baseline sleep and/or circadian characteristics of otherwise healthy adults predicted their alcohol use over the subsequent 12 months.MethodsParticipants (21–42 years) included 28 light and 50 heavy drinkers. At baseline, a comprehensive range of self‐reported and objective sleep/circadian measures was assessed via questionnaires, wrist actigraphy, and measurement of dim light melatonin onset and circadian photoreceptor responsivity. Following this, the number of alcoholic drinks per week and binge drinking episodes per month were assessed quarterly over the subsequent 12 months. Anticipated effects of alcohol (stimulation, sedation, and rewarding aspects) were also assessed quarterly over the 12 months. Analyses included generalized linear mixed‐effects models and causal mediation analysis.ResultsAcross the range of measures, only self‐reported insomnia symptoms and a longer total sleep time at baseline predicted more drinks per week and binges per month (ps <0.02). There was a trend for the anticipated alcohol effect of wanting more alcohol at the 6‐month timepoint to mediate the relationship between insomnia symptoms at baseline and drinks per week at 12 months (p = 0.069).ConclusionsThese results suggest that in otherwise healthy adults, insomnia symptoms, even if subclinical, are a significant predictor of future drinking, and appear to outweigh the influence of circadian factors on future drinking, at least in otherwise healthy adults. Insomnia symptoms may be a modifiable target for reducing the risk of alcohol misuse.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesAddiction consultation services provide access to specialty addiction care during general hospital admission. This study assessed opioid use disorder (OUD) outcomes associated with addiction consultation.MethodsRetrospective cohort study of individuals with OUD admitted to an academic medical center between 2018 and 2023. The exposure was addiction consultation. Outcomes included initiating medication for OUD (MOUD), hospital length of stay, before‐medically‐advised (BMA) discharge, and 30‐ and 90‐day postdischarge acute care utilization.ResultsOf 26,766 admissions (10,501 patients) with OUD, 2826 addiction consultations were completed. Consultation cohort was more likely to be young, male, and White than controls. Consultation was associated with greater MOUD initiation (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 5.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.41–5.82), fewer emergency department visits at 30 (aOR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67–0.92) and 90 (aOR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.69–0.89) days, and fewer hospitalizations at 30 (aOR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.76) and 90 (aOR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.59–0.76) days. Additionally, consultation patients were more likely to have a longer hospital stay and leave BMA.Conclusions and Scientific SignificanceAddiction consultation was associated with increased MOUD initiation and reduced postdischarge acute care utilization. This is the largest study to date showing a significant association between addiction psychiatry consultation and improved OUD outcomes when compared to controls. The observed reduction in postdischarge acute care utilization remains even after adjusting for MOUD initiation. Disparities in access to addiction consultation warrant further study.

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate axial length (AL), orbital width (OW) and height (OH) development in congenital microphthalmia and anophthalmia (MICA) using serial ultrasonography measurements.MethodsA longitudinal prospective cohort (n = 74) of unilaterally and bilaterally affected MICA patients was followed from 2013 to 2022 at the university hospital in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Clinical entity, age, severity category based on axial length, conformer treatment and intra‐orbital cysts were registered. The main outcome measures were the absolute and relative growth of AL, OW and OH. Surgical and intra‐orbital cyst cases were described separately.ResultsAbsolute microphthalmic eye size increased in 27/49 (55%) unilateral MICA eyes, but growth arrest/decrease in the remaining could shift the case to a more severe category over time. A final affected/unaffected orbital symmetry ≥80% was seen in the large majority of unilateral cases (45/46 for OW, 43/46 for OH). Cases with AL < 10.5 mm had orbital symmetry <80% more often. Most orbital symmetry changes were seen in moderate and severe unilateral cases treated with 3D‐printed conformer therapy starting at age <1 year, with 6/10 (60%) symmetry increase, 30% unchanged symmetry and 10% symmetry decrease. All cases older than 6.5 years (n = 6) did not show any change anymore, regardless of treatment. For bilateral and unilateral mild cases, orbital dimensions kept the same proportions during follow‐up, with or without conformer treatment.ConclusionsUsing severity categories in MICA based on relative AL may aid the decision to start conformer treatment, as most orbital symmetry changes were seen in moderate and severe unilateral cases receiving 3D‐printed conformer therapy that started under age 1.

SummaryBackground/AimsWe examined the effects of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) initiation on long‐term Adverse Liver Outcomes (ALO) in patients with Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes using real‐world data from the MarketScan database.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with MASLD cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes between 2012 and 2020. Cox proportional hazard models examine the association between GLP‐1RAs initiation, modelled as time‐dependent, and the risk of ALO, a composite endpoint defined by the first occurrence of hepatic decompensation(s), portal hypertension, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver transplantation (LT). We used Overlap Propensity Score Weighting (OPSW) to account for confounding. The study included 459 GLP‐1RAs and 4837 non‐GLP‐1RAs patients.ResultsThe non‐GLP‐1RAs patients presented with 1411 (29%) ALO over 7431.7 person years, while GLP‐1RAs patients had 32 (7%) ALO over 586.6 person years – risk rate difference 13.5 (95% CI: 11.4–15.7) per 100 person‐years. The OPSW‐adjusted risk of ALO was reduced by 36% (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.54–0.76) in patients with vs. without GLP‐1RAs initiation. GLP‐1RAs initiation was associated with significant reductions in the adjusted risk of hepatic decompensation (HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.61–0.88), portal hypertension (HR: 0.73; 95% CI: 0.60–0.88), HCC (HR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.20–0.63) and LT (HR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.12–0.43).ConclusionThe use of GLP‐1RAs was associated with significant risk reductions in long‐term adverse liver outcomes, including hepatic decompensation, portal hypertension, HCC and LT, in MASLD cirrhosis patients with type 2 diabetes.
