Challenges of Islamic Debt Restructuring in a Multi Creditor Environment
Authors: Abd Hafiz Rozita , Abu Samah Zariah , Hassan Rusni 
Published: February 2025

The growth of Islamic Finance over the last few decades has brought Islamic Finance to a level where it co-exists hand in hand with conventional banking. It is now common for the same customer to take up both Islamic financing and conventional loans as opposed to only conventional loans in the past. While such development is positive, there are inherent issues resulting from such co-existence. One notable issue is when default occurs due to non-payment by the customer, and when both the Islamic financier (Islamic creditor) and the conventional lender (conventional creditor) subsequently opt for debt restructuring instead of proceeding with insolvency action. Debt restructuring helps prevent further default, thus can assist in preserving the business value of the customer and the interests of the creditors as a whole. It is not a difficult task if a customer has one creditor only. However, the situation can become complex when the debt of both the Islamic and conventional creditor are to be restructured concurrently. This situation is referred to as Multi-Creditor debt restructuring. While the objective of a Multi-Creditor Debt Restructuring is beneficial to all creditors and the customer, there are challenges for Islamic debt restructuring in a Multi-Creditor situation such as differing creditorâ€™ rights, multiple interpretation on Shariâ€™ah contracts and lack of clarity in documentation of transactions. These could lead to difficulties, amongst others, in proving the right amount of debts due and owing as well as in ascertaining the priority of claims vis-a-vis conventional loans. This research discusses some of the key issues faced when restructuring Islamic debts in a Multi-Creditor situation and how those issues and gaps are to be addressed with some recommended process flow, procedures and guidelines.
Determinants of Maturity Transformation Risk in Islamic Banks: A Perspective Of Basel III Liquidity Regulations
Authors: Mahmood Haroon , Gan Christopher , Nguyen Cuong 
Published: February 2025

Maturity transformation risk is highlighted as one of the major causes of recent global financial crisis. Basel III has proposed new liquidity regulations for transformation function of banks and hence to monitor this risk. Specifically, net stable funding ratio (NSFR) is introduced to enhance medium- and long-term resilience against liquidity shocks. Islamic banking is widely accepted in many parts of the world and contributes to a significant portion of the financial sector in many countries. Using a data-set of 68 fully fledged Islamic banks from 11 different countries, over a period from 2005 â€“ 2014, this study attempts to analyze various factors that may significantly affect the maturity transformation risk in these banks. We utilize a 2-step system GMM estimation technique on unbalanced panel and find bank capital, credit risk, financing, size and market power as significant bank specific factors in determining maturity transformation risk. Furthermore, gross domestic product and inflation are found to be the significant macroeconomic factors that influence this risk. However, we find no evidence for the effect of bank profitability, cost efficiency and income diversity on maturity transformation risk in Islamic banking system.
Debt Determinants of Shari'ah Approved Firms: Empirical Evidence from Malaysia
Authors: Ramli Nurshamimitul Ezza , Haron Razali 
Published: February 2025

The issue of high reliance on debt has raised major concern especially since its impact has been linked to the several corporate problems in United Statesâ€™ big corporations such as Enron and Lehman Brothers. On a wider scope, the impact of debt may also be evidenced by the Greek Depression in the year 2009. Various studies have been conducted to explain which factors determine debt of the firms, given different setting of periods, countries and methodologies. Uniquely, this study focuses on the firms which stocks are Shariâ€™ah approved in accordance to the Malaysiaâ€™s Securities Commission guidelines. This study covers a balanced panel of 239 Shariah approved firms listed on the Bursa Malaysia for the period of analysis from 2000 to 2014. To meet its objective, this study employs a static panel regression model which includes the pooled OLS, random effect model (REM) and fixed effect model (FEM). The study also conducts a robustness test to the empirical model. Several factors have been examined and the result shows that certain firm-specific variables like growth opportunity, size, bankruptcy risk, non-debt tax shield (NDTS) and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index are significant determinants of a firmâ€™s debt. Also macro variables such as inflation, GDP and economic crisis are also found to be significant determinants of Shariah approved firmsâ€™ debt. In contrast with the prior studies that focuses on the non-Shariah approved firms, the output from this study provides new insight and understanding on the debt determinants of Shariah approved firms.
Examining the Resilience of Islamic and Conventional Banks to Changes in Macroeconomic Conditions
Authors: Zoghlami Faten 
Published: February 2025

This paper aims to examine if there is any relationship between Islamic and conventional bank resilience to changes in economic conditions. To fulfill our objectives, first we provide a descriptive approach, in which we compare the credit risk evolution of 53 Islamic and 215 conventional banks operating in 10 countries from 2005 to 2015. Then we adopted a regression analysis, to examine to what extent being Islamic does matter in determining (i) the level of a bankâ€™s credit risk, and (ii) sensitivity to changes in macroeconomic conditions. Results reveal that being Islamic seems to not matter, neither in determining a bankâ€™s credit risk level, nor a bank credit risk sensitivity. Both types of bank seem to respond similarly to changes in the macroeconomic context.
Учение о любви Божией в католической декларации «Fiducia supplicans» о пастырском значении благословений
Authors: Смыков Алексей Иванович 
Published: February 2025

Цель данной работы в том, чтобы доказать ложность католического понимания любви Божией к человеку и ошибочность нового учения о благословении. Для этого про­анализирована католическая декларация «Fiducia supplicans» о пастырском значении благословений от 18 декабря 2023 г. В статье показано, как выражается любовь Божия в Священном Писании и как она определяется в православном богословии. В итоге автор приходит к выводу, что предложенное пастырское попечение о парах, находящихся в «неурегулированных отношениях» и «однополом сожительстве», не ведёт к исцелению и богообщению, и что новаторский подход к благословениям папы Римского Франциска противоречит православному пониманию церковных благословений.
The purpose of this paper is to prove the falsity of the Catholic understanding of God’s love for man and the fallacy of the new teaching on blessing. For this purpose, the Catholic document of December 18, 2023, Declaration «Fiducia supplicans» On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings is analyzed. The article shows how the love of God is expressed in Scripture and how it is defined in Orthodox theology. In the end, the author concludes that the proposed pastoral care for couples in «unsettled relationships» and «same-sex cohabitation» does not lead to healing and God-communion and that Pope Francis’ innovative approach to blessings contradicts the Orthodox understanding of ecclesial blessings.
Методологии раскрытия учения о Церкви в лекционных курсах Александра Васильевича Горского и научных публикациях Московской духовной академии 40–70-х гг. XIX в.
Authors: Карелина Любовь Альфредовна 
Published: February 2025

Экклесиология, наиболее обсуждаемая богословская тема последних двух столетий, является одновременно предметом исследования как церковной истории, так и догматического богословия, поэтому в раскрытии учения о Церкви особенно важен вопрос методологии. В настоящем исследовании выявляются методологические особенности материалов профессоров Московской Духовной Академии, посвящённые учению о Церкви. Рассматриваются и опубликованные, и не введённые в научный оборот документы, относящиеся к перио­ду 40-х — 70-х гг. XIX в. Наиболее интересны экклесиологические представления ведущего преподавателя академии, протоиерея Александра Васильевича Горского. Они сформулированы во вводных лекциях по церковной истории и в конспектах по введению в православное богословие. Сравнение рукописей протоиерея Александра с публикациями его коллег: архимандрита Евсевия (Орлинского), С. К. Смирнова, И. Ф. Мансветова — позволило выявить общие принципы раскрытия учения о Церкви в этих материалах, а также их связь с контекстным обсуждением методологии богословских исследований в период 40–60-х гг., в которых значительную роль сыграл митрополит Московский Филарет (Дроздов).
The Ecclesiology, the most discussed theological topic of the last two centuries, is at the same time the subject of research in both church history and dogmatic theology, therefore, the issue of methodology is especially important in revealing the teaching about the Church. This study identifies the methodological features of the materials of the professors of the Moscow Theological Academy devoted to the teaching of the Church. The most inter-esting ecclesiological ideas of the leading teacher of the Academy, Archpriest Alexander Vasilyevich Gorsky. They are formulated in unpublished introductory lectures on church history and in notes on introduction to Orthodox theology. A comparison of Archpriest Alexander’s manuscripts with the publications of his colleagues: Archimandrite Evsebius (Orlinsky), S. K. Smirnov, and I. F. Mansvetov revealed the general principles of revealing the teaching about the Church in these materials, as well as their connection with the contextual discussion of the methodology of theological research in the period of the 40s and 60s, in which a significant role was played Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow (Drozdov) played.
Пушкинский юбилей 1899 года на страницах журнала Московской духовной академии «Богословский вестник»
Authors: Бурмистрова Светлана Владимировна 
Published: February 2025

В статье рассматриваются материалы журнала Московской духовной академии — «Богословский вестник», относящиеся к празднованию 100-летия со дня рождения А. С. Пушкина. Анализ представленных в «Богословском вестнике» публикаций позволяет выявить обозначенные в них стратегии критической рецепции личности и художественного наследия поэта: авторы статей осмысляют пушкинское творчество как вершинное явление отечественной литературы и стремятся закрепить в сознании современного читателя представление о Пушкине как великом национальном поэте. Исследование материалов о Пушкине, опубликованных в 1899 г. на страницах «Богословского вестника» и отражающих наиболее характерное для научно-богословской и церковной среды отношение к личности и творчеству поэта, поможет уточнить вопрос о рецепции пушкинского творчества в критике рубежа веков, а также выявить закономерности построения литературных репутаций писателя-юбиляра.
The article examines the materials of the journal of the Moscow Theological Academy (MThA) — «Theological Herald», related to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of A. S. Pushkin. An analysis of the publications presented in the Theological Herald allows us to identify the strategies of critical reception of the poet’s personality and artistic heritage outlined in them: the authors of the articles interpret Pushkin's work as the pinnacle of Russian literature and strive to cement in the minds of the modern reader the idea of Pushkin as a great national poet. The study of materials about Pushkin, published in 1899 on the pages of the "Theological Herald" and reflects the attitude towards the personality and work of the poet, which is most characteristic of the scientific-theological and church environment. This will help clarify the issue of Pushkin's reception in criticism at the turn of the century, as well as identifying patterns in the construction of literary reputations of the writer celebrating his or her anniversary.

Published: February 2025

Integration of knowledge is an interesting phenomenon that has emerged amidst the rapid changes in Islamic religious higher education institutions in Indonesia, which have changed from a State Islamic Religious Institution to a State Islamic University (Universitas Islam Negeri/UIN). The implementation of the integration of knowledge at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya refers to the integrated twin-tower model. This study aims to describe the integration of knowledge based on outputs with the integrated twin tower paradigm in journal review lectures. This type of research is qualitative descriptive with the research location of the Science Education Study Program, FTK UINSA, in journal review lectures running in the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. Data was collected using documentation, field notes, and questionnaires. Data analysis techniques were carried out using data triangulation techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The study results showed that lecture planning was carried out well in the semester learning design. Integrating knowledge based on outputs with the integrated twin tower paradigm in journal review lectures went well according to the achievement objectives in the semester learning plan and produced outputs in draft articles. The student’s response to the lectures was positive, resulting in accurate understanding from the students regarding the topics of scientific articles and journals. The lectures had some obstacles but also produced many benefits.

Introduction: Gait impairments are common in People with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS). Several studies have examined the clinometric properties of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), with LDLJa identified as a robust metric for gait smoothness. However, its responsiveness and interpretability have not been explored.
Methods: This cross-sectional study at IRCCS Santa Lucia Hospital enrolled 44 PwMS (age: 28-71; EDSS: 0-6) and 43 age- and gait-speed-matched healthy participants (HP). Two physiotherapists conducted assessments with five synchronized IMUs during a 10-meter walk at participants’ preferred speed. Data were collected at baseline (T0) and after 4 weeks of training (T1).
Results: Significant differences in log dimensionless jerk (LDLJa) were found between PwMS and HP in the AP (p < 0.001, d = 0.63), ML (p < 0.001, d = 1.08), and CC (p = 0.03, d = 0.68) directions. PwMS had lower LDLJaAP values (< -4.88) and LDLJaML values (< -5.40) with probabilities of 63% and 76%, respectively. ΔLDLJaML demonstrated good responsiveness to rehabilitation (AUC ~0.80), with improvements >4.02% representing the optimal MCID for clinical improvement in MiniBesTest.
Conclusion: Lower LDLJa values in the AP and ML directions characterize gait smoothness impairment in PwMS. LDLJa in the ML direction is responsive to balance-focused rehabilitation, highlighting its potential for tracking gait disorders and rehabilitation progress.

Penggunaan komposit serat berasal dari alam yang sifatnya tidak kalah dari serat sintetis dan ramah lingkungan sudah banyak diteliti. Serat alam dari tanaman gambas banyak dijumpai di Indonesia namun masih sedikit diteliti sebagai komposit. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh perendaman cairan NaOH 3% dan 5% dengan fraksi volume serat 20%, 30% dan 40% dalam waktu perendaman selama 2 jam terhadap serat gambas. Komposit dibuat menggunakan metode hand lay-up yang dikombinasikan dengan metode full faktorial dengan 2 faktor dan 3 level di faktor pertama kemudian 2 level pada faktor kedua yang dilakukan 3 kali pengulangan, sehingga didapatkan 18 data. Dari penelitian nilai tertinggi kekuatan impak yaitu 0.00493 J/mm2 pada fraksi volume 40% dengan perendaman cairan NaOH 3% . Berarti adanya pengaruh peningkatan fraksi volume serat maka kekuatan impak komposit akan semakin baik. Sedangkan nilai terendah terdapat pada fraksi voume 20% dengan 3% NaOH yaitu 0.00173 J/mm2. Berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya hasil pengujian impak ini masih belum bisa digunakan sebagai pengganti bahan pembuatan helm SNI yang memiliki nilai kekuatan impak 0,00972 J/mm2.
Aircrew Life Support Equipment Experiences in Canadian Military Operational Women Pilots
Authors: Thorgrimson Joelle , Breeck Karen 
Published: February 2025

INTRODUCTION: Women continue to remain a minority among Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) operational pilots, equaling <2% in 2000 and <6% in 2022. Limited sex- and gender-specific research on aeromedical support needs has been completed on this population. This initial manuscript examines aircrew life support equipment (ALSE) and musculoskeletal issues within a larger data set.
METHODS: This hypothesis-generating, mixed-methods, epidemiological study used a community-based participatory research approach, involving semi-structured interviews with women who were current CAF members and had ever served as operational pilots. Interviews included aviation occupational interest and medical questionnaires, as well as medical record reviews, which were analyzed descriptively and thematically.
RESULTS: Demographics included 51 of 88 (58%) of CAF operational women pilots from 15 different platforms, with a mean service time of 20 yr (range from 8–41 yr) and mean total flying hour estimation of 2400 h (range of 500–8500 h). At least one piece of ALSE did not fit properly in 82% of subjects, and 52% of this group reported prolonged health impacts. Almost all subjects had musculoskeletal issues, with 35% resulting in a flying impairment.
DISCUSSION: This snapshot looks at sex- and gender-specific aeromedical experiences of operationally trained CAF women pilots, which can be used to guide research, policy, training, and education to improve their aeromedical experiences specifically with ALSE. Sex- and gender-based analysis and optimization could help improve equipment procurement and prevent unnecessary injury and illness in female pilots due to their ALSE.

Therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) often involve inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), underscoring the need for novel inhibitors with high selectivity and minimal side effects. A detailed analysis of the protein-ligand pharmacophore dynamics can facilitate this. In this study, we developed and employed dyphAI, an innovative approach integrating machine learning models, ligand-based pharmacophore models, and complex-based pharmacophore models into a pharmacophore model ensemble. This ensemble captures key protein-ligand interactions, including π-cation interactions with Trp-86 and several π-π interactions with residues Tyr-341, Tyr-337, Tyr-124, and Tyr-72. The protocol identified 18 novel molecules from the ZINC database with binding energy values ranging from −62 to −115 kJ/mol, suggesting their strong potential as AChE inhibitors. To further validate the predictions, nine molecules were acquired and tested for their inhibitory activity against human AChE. Experimental results revealed that molecules, 4 (P-1894047), with its complex multi-ring structure and numerous hydrogen bond acceptors, and 7 (P-2652815), characterized by a flexible, polar framework with ten hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, exhibited IC₅₀ values lower than or equal to that of the control (galantamine), indicating potent inhibitory activity. Similarly, molecules 5 (P-1205609), 6 (P-1206762), 8 (P-2026435), and 9 (P-533735) also demonstrated strong inhibition. In contrast, molecule 3 (P-617769798) showed a higher IC50 value, and molecules 1 (P-14421887) and 2 (P-25746649) yielded inconsistent results, likely due to solubility issues in the experimental setup. These findings underscore the value of integrating computational predictions with experimental validation, enhancing the reliability of virtual screening in the discovery of potent enzyme inhibitors.

Published: February 2025

BackgroundCardiorespiratory health issues often intersect. This study explored the relationship between lung health and the recently updated Cardiovascular Health Measure (Life’s Essential 8).MethodsData from the 2007–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed. Three cohorts were included: lung disease in the Main cohort (N = 9,772), lung function in the Spirometry sub-cohort (N = 3,896), and respiratory symptoms in the Respiratory Symptoms sub-cohort (Age &gt; 40) (N = 3,449). LE8 scores were used as both continuous and categorical variables (0–49, 50–79, 80–100). Weighted multivariate regression analyses examined the correlations between LE8 and lung health, and weighted restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analyzed potential non-linear relationships. Subgroup analysis was conducted to verify stability.ResultsOverall lung health was better in the high LE8 group than in the low LE8 group. In the fully adjusted model, the high LE8 group had significantly lower odds of asthma (OR = 0.42; 95% CI = 0.29, 0.59) and chronic bronchitis (OR = 0.27; 95% CI = 0.15, 0.49) compared to the low LE8 group. Regarding lung function, each 10-point increase in LE8 was associated with an increase of 50 ml in FEV1 (Beta = 50; 95% CI = 32, 67) and 56 ml in FVC (Beta = 56; 95% CI = 32, 79). Among middle-aged and older adults (age &gt; 40), the high LE8 group had significantly lower odds of respiratory symptoms, including cough (OR = 0.23; 95% CI = 0.12, 0.46), phlegm (OR = 0.42; 95% CI = 0.19, 0.90), and wheezing (OR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.15, 0.54). RCS analyses demonstrated a non-linear negative correlation between LE8 and cough, sputum, and wheeze. Subgroup and sensitivity analysis suggested stability.ConclusionLife’s Essential 8 (LE8) scores are positively associated with lung health in the US population. These findings provide a valuable reference for maintaining overall cardiorespiratory health.
