Authors: Sabrina Lala Maya , Rulindo Ronald 
Published: July 2023

Takaful industry plays an essential role in answering significant issue in the society such as social, economic and environment. The presence of corporate governance become crucial to every Takaful firm in promoting and raising the public trust in one of the Islamic finance ecosystem whom currently to be called as the sleeping giant. Unfortunately, although the regulation has been established by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), certain cases of malpractices and failure of insurance currently rise to the surface. This study contributes to the literature by investigating corporate governance factors that influenced financial performance of Takaful listed in Indonesian Sharia Insurance Association (AASI). Panel Data regression analysis will be used in analyzing the data over the period 2017 – 2021. The data is collected from insurance statistic report published by Financial Services Authority also from annual report and sustainability report of every insurance. Corporate governance variables will be used as independent variables and Return on Asset will be used as a financial performance’s dependent variable. This study provides several corporate governance upon takaful performance from the perspective of a developing country. It also provides an empirical examination of current structures of takaful firms and suggestion to the decision makers and the stakeholders to be adopted in boosting firm performance. This study also gives a recommendation to the policymakers in assessing and reviewing corporate governance policies.

Are juvenile delinquents to be regarded as neglected children or as criminals? Should they be taken care of by child welfare, or should they go to court and be punished for their acts? In post-war Norway, there have been several ideological shifts on this topic. ln the forties and early fifties, the climate was optimistic. There was a strong belief in treatment, care, and education. With rising juvenile delinquency in the late fifties and sixties, the optimism waned. The solution to the problem was increasingly sought in criminal justice. The seventies saw a new turn of the ideological tides. The imprisonment of children was now seen as a moral outrage. After a while, this issue crystallized into a debate on whether the age of criminal liability should be raised from fourteen to fifteen years. This debate marked the starting point for transferring the responsibility for youth delinquency from the criminal justice system back into the hands of child welfare and health - and social services.
Some lasting dilemmas have accompanied these shifts: Is it possible to smoothly combine measures "in the best interest of the child" with effective crime control? When individual preventive considerations in criminal justice gain such force that they conflict strongly with the demand for proportionality between offence and punishment, they become indefensible. And when treatment has to be administered through extensive use of coercion, doubts arise. These dilemmas remain unsolved.
Dödsstraffet i USA
Authors: Bergqvist Martin 
Published: July 2023

In 1976, the United States Supreme Court concluded that capital punishment was constitutional, and since then 570 persons have been executed in the USA. The number of executions per year has increased substan­tially during the last decade, and there is reason to believe that the excessive use of the death penalty will continue.
This article focuses on only one of many debated issues regarding the death penalty, namely its potential effect on the homicide rate. Initially, the arguments concerning the effect are discussed and thereafter the empirical findings supporting these arguments are reviewed.
In the ongoing debate, two contradictory arguments have been used. Death penalty proponents argue that it decreases the number of homicides through deterrence. Opponents, on the other hand, argue the hypothesis of brutalisation, which predicts the opposite, i.e. the death penalty increases the number of homicides. Given that the number of studies testing these hypotheses is immense, this article will not cover the total literature, but rather focus on studies purporting to find evidence of either a deterrent or a brutalisation effect.
Following the review it is argued that the methodological problems in this area of research are extensive. The data used are not robust enough to transcend methodological approaches, so the choice of method most likely has an impact on the results obtained. When demanding that a substantively significant result should survive different statistical tests, the author comes to the conclusion that the research conducted has not presented any conclusive evidence supporting either the argument of deterrence or that of brutalisation.
Preface translation as a feminist and inclusive language usage action
Authors: Lima Érica 
Published: July 2023

This paper focuses on the translation of a collection of seventeen prefaces for different editions of the book Our Bodies, Ourselves (Chatterjee 2008/2020, translated by Nicolella, Oliveira et al.). The translation project is part of a collective and voluntary translation agreement made between the State University of Campinas, the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and an NGO (Coletivo Feminista Sexualidade e Saúde) to translate and adapt to Brazilian Portuguese the widely known book Our Bodies, Ourselves(The Boston Women’s Health Book Collective 2011). Two points were discussed more thoroughly: first, the importance of paratexts (Genette 1987/1997) and paratranslation, especially the intersemiotic interpretation of the text and the image of the book cover (Yuste Frías 2022; 2021; 2011); and second, inclusive language use (Governo do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul 2014), considering that the masculine form is the standard in Portuguese while the translation project concerns a feminist book (Davis 2007). We present four examples of translations made by students with the support of CAT tools and revised considering a more inclusive language usage. In the final remarks, we will discuss that the translation project provided the integration between translation practice and theoretical discussions underlying this practice. We will also point out some challenges and discussions still ongoing in Brazil.

This study aimed to determine the most effective combination of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) and biofertilizers for enhancing the growth, yield, and quality of eggplants (Solanum melongena). A randomized block design with ten treatments was employed, incorporating various biofertilizers (Trichoderma harzanium, Azotobacter, and Rhizobacter) and INM components (vermicompost, farmyard manure, and poultry manure).The treatment combinations were T1 (100% Recommended Dose of Fertilizer - RDF), T2 (75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + Azotobacter), T3 (50% RDF + 50% Vermicompost + Azotobacter), T4 (25% RDF + 75% Vermicompost + Azotobacter), T5 (75% RDF + 25% FYM + Trichoderma harzanium), T6 (50% RDF + 50% FYM + Trichoderma harzanium), T7 (25% RDF + 75% FYM + Trichoderma harzanium), T8 (75% RDF + 25% Poultry manure + Rhizobium), T9 (50% RDF + 50% Poultry manure + Rhizobium), and T10 (25% RDF + 75% Poultry manure + Rhizobium). The findings revealed that T1 exhibited the best performance in terms of growth parameters, while T10 demonstrated the highest yield. Regarding quality, T7 exhibited the most favourable outcomes. These results suggest that the appropriate combination of biofertilizers and INM components can significantly impact the growth, yield, and quality of egg plants. The significance and implications of these findings lie in their potential to enhance eggplant production through sustainable agricultural practices.

Penduduk Tiongkok telah lama menyebar ke berbagai belahan dunia, dengan membawa berbagai macam kebudayaan serta tradisi, tidak terkecuali di Indonesia. Etnis tionghoa menyebar dengan merata di seluruh Indonesia dengan membawa kebudayaan asal mereka. Hari raya Imlek adalah salah satu contohnya, setiap daerah di Indonesia mempunyai perayaan Imlek mereka sendiri oleh karena itu penulis tertarik untuk meneliti perayaan etnis Tionghoa di kota Toli-toli. Penelitian ini meliputi apa perbedaan Imlek etnis Tionghoa Toli-toli pada masa orde baru dan mengapa terjadi perbedaan itu. Setelah dilakukan penelitian ditemukan bahwa etnis Tionghoa hanya merayakan chuxi, Imlek, hari kedua, hari kesembilan, dan Cap Go Meh. Perayaan Cap Go Meh di kota Toli-toli cenderung sepi dan tidak ada yang spesial. Serta ditemukan faktor yang membuat Imlek di kota Toli-toli saat orde baru dan sekarang berbeda yaitu karena faktor politik dan ekonomi.

AbstractNucleic acid therapy has emerged as a potential alternative for promoting wound healing by gene expression modification. On the other hand, protecting the nucleic acid payload from degradation, efficient bioresponsive delivery and effective transfection into cells remain challenging. A glucose‐responsive gene delivery system for treating diabetic wounds would be advantageous as it would be responsive to the underlying pathology giving a regulated payload delivery with fewer side effects. Herein a GOx‐based glucose‐responsive delivery system is designed based on fibrin‐coated polymeric microcapsules (FCPMC) using the layer‐by‐layer (LbL) approach that simultaneously delivers two nucleic acids in diabetic wounds. The designed FCPMC displays an ability to effectively load many nucleic acids in polyplexes and release it over a prolonged period with no cytotoxic effects seen in in vitro studies. Furthermore, the developed system does not show any undesired effects in vivo. When applied to wounds in genetically diabetic db/db mice, the fabricated system on its own improves reepithelialization and angiogenesis while decreasing inflammation. Also, key proteins involved in the wound healing process, i.e., Actn2, MYBPC1, and desmin, are upregulated in the glucose‐responsive fibrin hydrogel (GRFHG) treated group of animals. In conclusion, the fabricated hydrogel promotes wound healing. Furthermore, the system may be encapsulated with various therapeutic nucleic acids that aid wound healing.

Published: July 2023

AbstractAl batteries have great potential for renewable energy storage owing to their low cost, high capacity, and safety. High energy density and adaptability to fluctuating electricity are major challenges. Here, a lightweight Al battery for fast storage of fluctuating energy is constructed based on a novel hierarchical porous dendrite‐free carbon aerogel film (CAF) anode and an integrated graphite composite carbon aerogel film (GCAF) cathode. A new induced mechanism by the O‐containing functional groups on the CAF anode is con‐firmed for uniform Al deposition. The GCAF cathode possesses a higher mass utilization ratio due to the extremely high loading mass (9.5–10.0 mg cm−2) of graphite materials compared to conventional coated cathodes. Meanwhile, the volume expansion of the GCAF cathode is almost negligible, resulting in better cycling stability. The lightweight CAF‖GCAF full battery can adapt well to large and fluctuating current densities owing to its hierarchical porous structure. A large discharge capacity (115.6 mAh g−1) after 2000 cycles and a short charge time (7.0 min) at a high current density are obtained. The construction strategy of lightweight Al batteries based on carbon aerogel electrodes can promote the breakthrough of high‐energy‐density Al batteries adapted to the fast storage of fluctuating renewable energy.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe advantages of metalenses to enable miniaturized systems have been well established, especially in the visible and infrared wavelength regimes. The ultraviolet (UV) presents a final frontier because feature size scales as the wavelength, so realizing a large size metalens with a high numerical aperture (NA) in the UV is a major challenge. Here, a single‐layer, thin‐film (450 nm) hybrid metalens with an NA of 0.9 and a diameter of 6.2 mm is presented. By combining a Fresnel lens and optimised binary gratings, the well‐known shadowing effect of Fresnel lenses at high NA is avoided while being able to realize a large area lens. It is demonstrated that the combination of high NA and large area affords efficient detection of tryptophan‐like fluorescence, which is a well‐studied proxy for water contamination with faecal coliforms. The detection of tryptophan at levels better than 1 ppb, which corresponds to the low‐risk category for drinking water according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is shown. It is also confirmed that the hybrid metalens fluorescence collection efficiency is 3.5 times higher than a high NA plano‐convex lens used in state‐of‐the‐art fluorometers, which demonstrates that the versatile metalens approach opens up new opportunities in the UV.

AbstractHypoxia inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α) plays a critical role in cellular adaptation to hypoxia and it is a potential therapeutic target for anti‐cancer drugs. Applying high‐throughput screening, here it is found that HI‐101, a small molecule containing an adamantaniline moiety, effectively reduces HIF‐1α protein expression. With the compound as a hit, a probe (HI‐102) is developed for target identification by affinity‐based protein profiling. The catalytic β subunit of mitochondrial FOF1‐ATP synthase, ATP5B, is identified as the binding protein of HI‐derivatives. Mechanistically, HI‐101 promotes the binding of HIF‐1α mRNA to ATP5B, thus inhibiting HIF‐1α translation and the following transcriptional activity. Further modifications of HI‐101 lead to HI‐104, a compound with good pharmacokinetic properties, exhibiting antitumor activity in MHCC97‐L mice xenograft model, and HI‐105, the most potent compound with an IC50 of 26 nm. The findings provide a new strategy for further developing HIF‐1α inhibitors by translational inhibition through ATP5B.
Effect of temporal changes in stamen position on reproductive success in flowers with many stamens: Manipulations of stamen position
Authors: Sanuki Arisa , Itagaki Tomoyuki , Sakai Satoki 
Published: July 2023

AbstractPremiseMale and female reproductive success is enhanced (increased outcrossing and seed production, respectively) by stamen movement in species that have few stamens per flower. Does such enhancement also occur in species that have many stamens per flower?MethodsWe examined the effects of stamen movement on male and female reproductive success in Anemone flaccida, which has many stamens per flower. We measured stamen movement, including temporal changes in anther–stigma and anther–anther distances. We experimentally fixed stamens in their pre‐ or post‐movement positions.ResultsThe anthers moved horizontally away from the stigmas with increasing flower age, thus reducing female–male interference. The dehisced anthers tended to move farther from the stigmas, while the undehisced or dehiscing anthers remained closer to them. The number of anthers touched per flower visit was higher in flowers whose stamens were fixed in the pre‐movement position than in flowers whose stamens were fixed in the post‐movement position or in flowers that were not manipulated. Thus, this position may promote male reproductive success. Seed production was lower for the untreated flowers than for those with stamens fixed in the post‐movement position, suggesting that the post‐movement stamen position is advantageous and stamen movement is suboptimal for female reproductive success.ConclusionsStamen movement promotes male reproductive success in the early flowering stage and female reproductive success in the late flowering stage. In species having many stamens per flower, female–male interference can be reduced, but not eliminated, by stamen movement due to the conflict between female and male reproductive successes.

AbstractBackgroundThe ratio of the second‐ (2D) to fourth (4D) digit lengths of hand (2D:4D) is a proxy marker of the relative testosterone and estrogen concentration during a relatively narrow period of fetal development that might affect behavioral and personality characteristics.AimTo estimate the differences in 2D:4D between different religious groups among a sample of young adult males in Mongolia.MethodsTwo hundred and sixty‐five Mongolian male students with mean age of 20.5 (SD = 1.7) years from different universities in Ulan Bator, were included in the study. Information on age, religious affiliation, marital status and parental education were obtained directly from each study participant. Digit lengths were measured from scanned images by using the ImageJ software 1.53 K. One‐way analysis of variance was employed to evaluate whether they were significant differences in 2D:4D ratio between groups, along with Scheffe's post hoc comparison.ResultsStudy participants significantly differed in 2D:4D across religion. Left 2D:4D, but not the right, showed a significant difference between religions, with Muslims exhibiting the highest 2D:4D mean and the lowest DR−L.ConclusionOur study suggests that the 2D:4D ratio is related to the participants' religion. However, the distinctiveness of the Muslim students from study participants belonging to other religious groups in this study could also be related to ethnic differences, given that the students were Kazakhs. This is, to our knowledge, the only study looking at the relationship between the 2D:4D ratio and religious affiliation and, thus, further research is needed to confirm its results.
