The Analysis of Shari’ah-Based Personal Wealth Management in the Retirement Period
Authors: Yaniarrinita Tri 
Published: January 2025

Purpose: This study aims to get a better understanding of personal Islamic Wealth Management (IWM) by Muslim families who are at retirement age. The concept of the five cycles of IWM is employed to observe the implementation of personal wealth management that has been carried out by the Muslim families. Furthermore, this study is trying to observe the personal wealth management strategy based on Maqāshid al-Sharī’ah in the Muslim families.
Method: The research design used is interpretative case study with qualitative approach. Data is collected from the research participants through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. Then it is analyzed by using four techniques i.e.: domain; taxonomy; componential; and cultural themes. Participants are Muslim families who are at retirement age with selected criteria: the principal (husband) aged 65 years and over; having one wife and children who have lived independently; having financial literacy; and having family financial adequacy at retirement age.
Results: The research shows that participants have implemented most of the components of Personal IWM. The participants are driven to and believe in the principle of working as worship (wealth creation), motivation to protect wealth to feel secure and peace of mind (wealth protection), but participants have limited understanding of Islamic insurance. Further, participants developed their wealth in order to protect its value from future unexpected risks (wealth accumulation); participatory carrying out ZIS in order to obey Allāh's commands (wealth purification), and eventually already planned inheritance law according to Islamic teachings (wealth distribution).
Practical Implication: This case study can be a reference for formulating IWM strategy for retirement planning.
Originality: There is no much studies conducted using a case study method in the area of IWM that can be applied in the future study.

<b>R</b><b>esearch </b><b>On the Choice of Structural Models for the Codification of China</b><b>’</b><b>s Environmental Law</b>
Authors: Wu Yuhang 
Published: January 2025

On April 21, 2021, the announcement of the 2021 Legislative Work Plan of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress reignited discussions about the codification of environmental law. Against this backdrop, this paper adopts a comparative analysis method to examine the structural models of codification in the Swedish Environmental Code, the French Environmental Code, and the German Environmental Code (Expert Committee Draft, 1997). It aims to provide a reference for selecting a structural model for the codification of China’s environmental law. In choosing the specific mode of environmental law codification, it is recommended to adopt the structural models used in Sweden, France, and Germany while retaining certain standalone laws. The codification should follow a logical structure of “General Provisions–Specific Provisions–Supplementary Provisions” and be organized with a hierarchical layout of “Parts–Chapters–Sections.”
<b>The Scars of Memory, the Trap of Desire, and the Mirror of Class: An Interpretation of Social Allegories in Bong Joon-ho's Films</b>
Authors: Ma Ying 
Published: January 2025

Bong Joon-ho's films are renowned for their profound revelation and critique of South Korean social realities. This paper interprets the social allegories in Bong Joon-ho's films, such as Parasite, Memories of Murder, Snowpiercer, The Host, and Mother, through the lens of the scars of memory, the trap of desire, and the mirror of class. The films touch upon the collective "scars of memory" of the Korean people, demonstrating the historical causes and social impact of the "Han" cultural psychology through metaphors and representations of historical traumatic events. Employing Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, this paper analyzes the "trap of desire" – the alienation of characters in the context of capitalism, revealing the anxiety and loss of the lower class in the pursuit of the "ideal self." Furthermore, these films construct a "mirror of class" that reflects the solidification of social hierarchy and the disparity between the rich and the poor in South Korean society by depicting the living conditions of different classes. Bong Joon-ho's cinematic allegories are not only artistic representations of social issues in South Korea but also provide profound insights into understanding the universal problems of class conflict, human alienation, and historical memory in contemporary society.

Heidi Vad Jønsson: The Social Democrat’s integration policy. Politicization and debate during Anker Jørgensen’s chairmanship (1979-1987), Arbejderhistorie 1/2013, pp. 53-74.Immigration and integration are two salient themes, which have proven to be highly problematic for the Danish Social DemocraticParty. This became evident, when the party lost the general election in 2001 to the Liberals, the Conservatives and the new pro-national, anti-immigration party, Danish People’s Party. One of the main explanations for the loss of power was irresolute and vaguepolitical statements, where internal debates and conflicts within the party dominated. The electoral consequences of these intraparty conflicts are clear, but it is, however, not so evident, why immigration and integration were such conflictual themes in the Social Democratic Party. The explanation is to be found within the party: an analysis of the development of an immigrant policy throughan intra-party policy development shows that these themes, immigration and integration, gave rise to a multidimensional conflictwhere both the problem definition, politicization, suggested solutions etc. were different depending on the level of governance national or local). Even though there were attempts to coin integration as a Social Democratic solution to immigrants’ problems, the conflicts remained present also after the Social Democrats re-entered office in 1993. This article covers the early politicizationfrom 1979 to 1987, which was marked by an increasing level of conflict, whereas the following phase of break, compromise and parliamentary playoff (1987 to 1992) is analyzed in the next number of Arbejderhistorie.

The understanding of child health has significantly evolved over the years. Modern perspectives recognize that a healthy childhood is shaped by a complex interplay of factors—biological, social, environmental, and psychological. The study aimed to understand the impact of maternal education and socioeconomic status on child health. The study further sought to investigate the impact of maternal attitude and health practices on child health in a Nigeria context. The study was conducted in the 21-bed sitter pediatric department of Irrua Specialist Teaching hospital, Irrua (ISTH), Edo state Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional study was employed from October 2023 to April 2024. A total of 60 questionnaires were distributed for collection of data. From the study, it was seen that all mothers have received various degree of literacy with majority (46.70%) of the women having gotten tertiary level of education and the least (16.70%) having primary level of education with 90% of the women displaying good knowledge. More of the women were middle income earners (60%) while just a few (20%) were high income earners. The study found a positive correlation between maternal attitudes and socio-demographic characteristics, with most women demonstrating favorable attitudes. These findings highlight the importance of maternal education and socioeconomic status in shaping child health outcomes, with potential implications for policy and intervention strategies. The relevance of this study will help all and sundry to step up in contributing their role in reducing children mortality and improve overall quality health care delivery.

Published: January 2025

This study aimed to analyze the trends in academic performance, establish the possible causes of the poor academic performance, and explore and implement some mitigation strategies for 5 years. After observing a sharp decline in the Grade seven national examination pass rate at one rural Private Primary School, the Department of Education committed itself to work in collaboration with the school administrators and teachers to improve the pass rate. Several trips were made to the Primary school to establish rapport, assess their needs, and establish the contributing causes of the sharp decline in the pass rates. In-depth interviews were carried out with key informants. The major factors identified to be contributing to the decline in pass rates were low motivation among both students and teachers. In addition, inadequate resources; particularly educational materials and basic needs for teachers such as water and food were also identified. A strategic plan was formulated with goals projected for the coming 4 years. Regular visits to the school were made by the department of Education at least once every school term. Special training programs were done in the third term of each year in preparation for writing final exams. The teachers and students were incentivized by provision of basic needs such as water and food and other basic commodities. Other motivational promises were made, such as prizes for the best-performing students and teachers. The results were recorded and compared every year. After the first year of implementing the strategies, there was a noticeable change in the academic performance. The pass rates were beginning to rise when COVID-19 pandemic broke out. The overall pass rate dropped from 42 % to 15% during the COVID-19 pandemic era. However, after the COVID-19 Pandemic the intervention strategies continued. Despite experiencing the drastic negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the graph of academic performance rose, there was a sharp rise from 33% in 2022 to 52% in 2023. The study recommends that a detailed longitudinal study be carried out to investigate the impact of other strategies (such as encouraging parental involvement). If these strategies carried out in this study are implemented coupled with other strategies such as parental involvement, this may result in marked improvements in academic performance of the learners and very high pass rates.

AbstractWater and energy shortages are interdependent major worldwide issues that cannot be disregarded. In this work, graphene and BaTiO3 are used to synergistically facilitate the self‐assembly of the β‐phase that is known to induce the piezoelectric properties of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). This leads to a PVDF/graphene‐BaTiO3 nanocomposite with a unique capability of integrating Phra Phrom‐like four functions into one single asymmetric membrane: i) solar evaporation, ii) power generation, iii) piezo‐photodegradation, and iv) self‐cleaning/monitoring for environmental remediation and resources regeneration. The high heat accumulation capability and piezoelectric performance of the membrane enable it to simultaneously achieve a water production rate of 0.99 kgm−2h−1, in compliance with WHO standards, and a maximum power output of 5.73 Wm−2 in simulated natural environments. Upon subjecting the membranes to environmental cleaning, they not only show a 93% dye degradation rate due to the synergistic effect of piezoelectricity and photocatalysis but also resolve the membrane fouling issue, exhibiting ≈200% resistance change compared to the static state. The successful integration of these four functions into one membrane shows the great potential of this work toward a more sustainable and viable water and energy production approach.

AbstractThe design of polymeric semiconductors exhibiting high electrical conductivity (σ) and thermoelectric power factor (PF) will be vital for flexible large‐area electronics. In this work, four polymers based on diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), 2,3‐dihydrothieno[3,4‐b][1,4]dioxine (EDOT), thieno[3,2‐b]thiophene (TT), and 3, 3′‐bis (2‐(2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy) ethoxy) ethoxy)‐2, 2′‐bithiophene (MEET) are investigated as side‐chains, with the MEET polymers newly synthesized for this study. These polymers are systematically doped with tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane ( F4TCNQ), CF3SO3H, and the synthesized dopant Cp(CN)3‐(COOMe)3, differing in geometry and electron affinity. The DPP‐EDOT‐based polymer containing MEET as side‐chains exhibits the highest conductivity (σ) ≈700 S cm−1 in this series with the acidic dopant (CF3SO3H). This polymer also shows the lowest oxidation potential by cyclic voltammetry (CV), the strongest intermolecular interactions evidenced by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and has the most oxygen‐based functionality for possible hydrogen bonding and ionic screening. Other polymers exhibit high σ ≈300–500 S cm−1 and power factor up to 300 µW m−1 K−2. The mechanism of conductivity is predominantly electronic, as validated by time‐dependent conductance studies and transient thermo voltage monitoring over time, including for those doped with the acid. These materials maintain significant thermal stability and air stability over ≈6 weeks. Density functional theory calculations reveal molecular geometries and inform about frontier energy levels. Raman spectroscopy, in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy (SEM‐EDS) and x‐ray diffraction, provides insight into the solid‐state microstructure and degree of phase separation of the doped polymer films. Infrared spectroscopy enables this study to further quantify the degree of charge transfer from polymer to dopant.

AbstractThe “visible” proton‐conducting pathway offers a distinct advantage for researching the mechanism of proton conducting materials at the molecular level and developing new materials. To achieve this, three crystalline materials are constructed via acid–base chemistry based on phosphomolybdic acid and diversfied guanidine, namely, (CN3H6)6(PMo12O40)2·H2O (GH–PMo12), (CN4H7)3(PMo12O40)·H2O (AGH–PMo12), and (CN5H8)3(PMo12O40)·3.5H2O (DAGH–PMo12). Proton conductivity of GH–PMo12 in the [001] direction reaches up to 0.19 S cm−1 at 85 °C and 98% RH, as elucidated by impedance studies of single crystals. The clear proton transport path is proposed through the analysis of single crystal structure. Moreover, impedance studies of powder crystals reveal that the proton conductivity of GH–PMo12 is higher than that of the other two compounds. The underlying reasons for this result are clarified through the analysis of the pKa, proton density, and spatial structure. Additionally, GH–PMo12 is fabricated into composite membrane with a peak proton conductivity of 5.31 × 10−2 S cm−1, which exhibits promising potential for real‐world applications.

Published: October 2023

AbstractMultifunctional hydrogel adhesives inhibiting infections and enabling the electrical stimulation (ES) of tissue reparation are highly desirable for the healing of surgical wounds and other skin injuries. Herein, a therapeutic nanocomposite hydrogel is designed by integrating β‐cyclodextrin‐embedded Ag nanoparticles (CDAgNPs) in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix enhanced with free β‐cyclodextrin (CD) and an atypical macromolecule made of β‐glucan grafted with hyaluronic acid (HAG). The main objective is to develop a biocompatible dressing combining the electroconductivity and antibacterial activity of CDAgNPs with the cohesiveness and porosity of PVA and the anti‐inflammatory, moisturizing, and cell proliferation‐promoting properties of HAG. The last component, CD, is added to strengthen the network structure of the hydrogel. PVA/CD/HAG/CDAgNP exhibited excellent adhesion strength, biocompatibility, electroconductivity, and antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacteria. In addition, the nanocomposite hydrogel has a swelling ratio and water retention capacity suitable to serve as a wound dressing. PVA/CD/HAG/CDAgNP promoted the proliferation of fibroblast in vitro, accelerated the healing of skin wounds in an animal model, and is hemostatic. Upon ES, the PVA/CD/HAG/CDAgNP nanocomposite hydrogel became more efficient both in vitro and in vivo further speeding up the skin healing process thus demonstrating its potential as a next‐generation electroconductive wound dressing.

Published: October 2023

AbstractPolyester nanofiltration membranes highlight beneficial chlorine resistance, but their loose structures and negative charge result in poor cations retention precluding advanced use in cations separation. This work designs a new monomer (TET) containing “hydroxyl‐ammonium” entities that confer dense structures and positive charge to polyester nanofiltration membranes. The TET monomer undergoes efficient interfacial polymerization with the trimesoyl chloride (TMC) monomer, and the resultant TET‐TMC membranes feature one of the lowest molecular weight cut‐offs (389 Da) and the highest zeta potential (4 mv, pH: 7) among all polyester nanofiltration membranes. The MgCl2 rejection of the TET‐TMC membrane is 95.5%, significantly higher than state‐of‐the‐art polyester nanofiltration membranes (<50%). The Li+/Mg2+ separation performance of TET‐TMC membrane is on par with cutting‐edge polyamide membranes, while additionally, the membrane is stable against NaClO though polyamide membranes readily degrade. Thus the TET‐TMC is the first polyester nanofiltration membrane for efficient cations separation.
