Is There a Rendezvous for SARS-CoV-2 and Agmatine?
Authors: Kotagale Nandkishor , Taksande Brijesh , Inamdar Nazma 
Published: January 2022

Abstract:
The catastrophe of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The respiratory system appears to be ground zero
in the majority of the patients. However, many other organs can get infected by cytokines,
chemokines and other mediators released in response to the presence of the virus. The neurotropism
by the SARS-CoV-2 is established beyond doubt. In addition to non-specific symptoms,
the symptoms specific to central and/or peripheral nervous system diseases as well as neuromuscular
diseases have been observed in numerous clinical cases. These observations and the experiences
with other coronavirus infections earlier and flu pandemics raise concerns not only about the neurological
effects in active disease but also about the long-term effects generated by the infection, immune
and inflammatory functions. The knowledge of biological actions of agmatine in the backdrop
of physiological events instigated by invading SARS-CoV-2 and host’s response, especially
in neural events, focuses on the possible overlaps of biomolecular pathways at a number of instances.
This is not surprising since the factors stimulated during SARS-CoV-2 infection are the disease-
generating neuroinflammatory components altered by agmatine. Hence, we hypothesize the
possible beneficial role of agmatine in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Based on a narrative review of the
literature, agmatine can be proposed as a plausible beneficial candidate for supporting treatment of
SARS-CoV-2 infection and for addressing post-infection neurological complications.
MEASURING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEACHING AND NON-TEACHING ANESTHESIA STAFF WORKLOAD at AL-NOOR SPECIALIST HOSPITAL, MAKKAH, SAUDI ARABIA, MARCH 2021 (Preprint)
Authors: anesthesia Ali 
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Workload on health sector workers has increased dramatically in recent years. In this research we studied anesthesia staff in terms of teaching and non-teaching workload at AL Noor Specialist hospital and the extent of its impact on performance and vigilance. Decreased workload improves the performance and vigilance of anesthesia staff.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the difference between the workload of teaching and non-teaching anesthesia staff.
2.	To measure the workload of anesthesia staff in teaching and non-teaching cases.
3.	To identify the definition, component, and effect of workload.
4.	To explain the importance of the work of anesthesia staff.

METHODS

This is a cross-sectional study carried out using a Google form survey conducted among anesthesia staff at Al-Noor specialist Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The target of the study included anesthesia staff (Anesthesia Technologist, Anesthesia Specialist, Anesthesia Consultant).

RESULTS

The workload density graph shows that the induction period in teaching cases was slightly higher compared to non-teaching cases. during the maintenance period and recovery period, workload density was slightly higher in teaching cases compared to the induction period.
The degree of agreement with the statement, “stress and pressure increase during surgery (teaching cases)”, was mostly in the normal range.
The degree of agreement with the statement, “increased workload will reduce your performance level and vigilance during the surgery”, was mostly in the strongly agree range.
The degree of agreement with the statement, “increasing the workload reduces patient safety”, was mostly in the strongly agree range.

CONCLUSIONS

There is only a slight difference in workload between teaching and non-teaching cases, but this slight change may stand between the life or death of a patient in an area of fine margins, such as anesthesia. We recommend further study to include all hospitals in Makkah. We recommend that difficult cases, especially patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 3 or above, do not have students because that may jeopardize the safety of the patient and inhibit the vigilance and performance of anesthesia providers.

Authors: Sosa Castro Magnolia Miriam , Castro Olivares Jorge Eduardo 
Published: January 2022

La participación de las mujeres como jefas del hogar en México ha aumentado en los últimos años. Las mujeres están en situaciones desventajosas por: menor participación económica, violencia estructural y directa, entre otros. La jefatura femenina expone a dichos hogares a una gran vulnerabilidad respecto a la incidencia en pobreza. El presente trabajo analiza descriptiva y econométricamente el impacto que tienen variables como la edad, el nivel de educación, ingreso e integrantes menores de once años, en la probabilidad de que la jefatura del hogar corresponda a una mujer, mediante un modelo probabilístico de respuesta binaria en el periodo (2008-2018).

Published: January 2022

Tulisan ini berusaha memberikan elaborasi mengenai faktor-faktor apa saja yang berperan dalam kegagalan pemerintah atas kebijakannya di masa pandemi hingga memunculkan reaksi dari masyarakat sipil. Mulai dari minimnya preparedness, perbedaan sense of urgency, broken linkage, hingga rendahnya sense of belonging menjadi bahasan yang disajikan secara lebih lanjut dalam tulisan ini. Bagaimana pemerintah akhirnya mengakomodasi hadirnya komunitas sebagai bentuk resistensi yang mewujudkan terciptanya self-governing community. Yang mana keberadaannya juga mendorong berjalannya suatu demokratisasi. Melihat bahwa pergerakan dan polarisasi perlawanan sipil yang semakin tumbuh menjamur sebagai bentuk gerak komunal di masa pandemi. Indonesia menjadi salah satu negara yang turut meningkatkan resistensi. Melalui realita serta sumber-sumber sekunder, tulisan ini menjelaskan apa yang menyebabkan pemerintah gagap dalam penanganan pandemi hingga memicu kemunculan masyarakat sipil. Hingga akhirnya, civil society menjadi solusi (mobilizing for action) dalam tata kelola pemerintahan.

Tras las huellas de los humillados: una exploración cuantitativa sobre avergonzamiento en Argentina
Authors: Seid Gonzalo 
Published: January 2022

<p>En este artículo se propone explorar algunas condiciones en las que tiene lugar la experiencia de haberse sentido avergonzado o humillado. Se analiza información de la Encuesta Nacional de Estructura Social llevada a cabo en el año 2015 por el Programa de Investigación sobre la Sociedad Argentina Contemporánea (pisac). Se trató de una muestra probabilística, estratificada y polietápica en la que se relevaron 8,265 hogares de localidades de más de 2,000 habitantes de todo el país. En uno de los bloques del cuestionario se incluyeron preguntas acerca de si en el último año alguien en el hogar había padecido distintas situaciones, entre ellas la de haber sido menospreciado, avergonzado o humillado. A lo largo de este escrito, se analizan las respuestas a esta pregunta del cuestionario en relación con otras variables. La exploración de las condiciones que hacen más probable la experiencia de la humillación permite identificar los perfiles de las subpoblaciones más expuestas y generar hipótesis mediante razonamientos abductivos.</p>
Heterologous COVID-19 Vaccination; Sinopharm and Pfizer-BioNTech
Authors: Mohammad Ameen M , Sgery Azri S H 
Published: January 2022

This short communication and highlights is the first one talking about receiving two different Anti-COVID-19 vaccines in full doses. In a small group of almost medical personals in Duhok city, Kurdistan region of Iraq, for the first time in the world 15 doctors who were vaccinated with two doses of Sinopharm at early March were revaccinated with two doses of Pfizer-BioNTech after approximately 5-6 months. They were developed a good immune response without serious side effects so far. This will direct us toward potential safety protocol of mixing full doses of different vaccines at least in the short term. No serious side effects in the short term had been registered in this new combination. Such policy might open ways for further larger studies for taking different Anti-COVID-19 vaccines in full doses.
Removing the Cog in the Waqf Wheels: A Policy Formulation for Nigeria
Authors: Saidu Oluwaseun Sulaiman , Cizakca Murat , Wilson Rodney 
Published: January 2022

The Nigerian state is the most populous African nation with a sizeable number of Muslims. While other countries with a significantly fewer number of Muslims benefit from the visible dividends of a thriving waqf institution, the same cannot be said of Nigeria. The institution of waqfs in the country is almost non-existent or, at best, described as comatose. Therefore, this study attempts to formulate workable prescriptions for waqf development in Nigeria. Data were gathered from relevant documents, such as related local regulations and the result of previous studies. Considering the normative characteristics for the functionality of waqf institution, the data were analysed using documentary enquiry, legal reasoning, descriptions, narratives, and critical studies on the waqf system in Nigeria. The findings indicate a dire need for dedicated legislation for waqf operations in the country that will expedite establishing a sound and well-functioning waqf system. This future law should incorporate the policy briefs contained in this paper.==================================================================================================== ABSTRAK – Menghilangkan Hambatan Perputaran Wakaf: Formulasi Kebijakan untuk Nigeria. Nigeria adalah negara di Afrika yang terpadat dengan jumlah Muslim yang cukup besar. Tidak seperti negara-negara lain yang bahkan jumlah penduduk Muslimnya jauh lebih sedikit, Nigeria hampir tidak bisa mendapatkan keuntungan apapun dari adanya sistem wakaf dalam Islam. Eksistensi lembaga wakaf hampir tidak terlihat di negara ini, atau, dapat dikatakan sedang mati suri. Oleh karena itu, kajian ini berupaya untuk menghilangkan hambatan-hambatan operasionalisasi wakaf dengan merumuskan formulasi yang dapat diimplementasikan untuk Nigeria. Data penelitian dikumpulkan dari studi dokumentasi seperti undang-undang dan peraturan terkait serta hasil-hasil kajian yang relevan. Dengan pertimbangan karakteristik normatif fungsi lembaga wakaf, analisis dokumen dilakukan dengan penalaran hukum, telaah deskriptif, naratif, dan studi kritis terhadap fungsi wakaf di Nigeria. Hasil kajian menyimpulkan bahwa ada kebutuhan mendesak bagi Nigeria untuk membentuk undang-undang khusus wakaf yang dapat mempercepat pembentukan sistem wakaf yang sehat dan fungsional. Formulasi policy brief dari kajian ini dapat digunakan sebagai bahan pembentukan aturan dimaksud.
How Do Sharia Supervisory Board and Good Corporate Governance Relate to Islamic Banks Performance?
Authors: Hanafi Rustam , Rohman Abdul , Ratmono Dwi 
Published: January 2022

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) and Good Corporate Governance (GCG) on the performance of Islamic Banks (IBs). Data were collected from 14 IBs listed on the Financial Services Authority (OJK) during 2013–2019. The multiple regression results empirically show that SSB with the academic position as professor shows a significant positive relationship on IBs performance. Meanwhile, SSB with doctoral education has no positive relationship with IBs performance. Although it is not positively correlated, doctoral education is still needed but with a background in law or sharia education, economics including finance or accounting, and muamalah. Educational background is proven to have a significant positive relationship with IBs' performance. Meanwhile, SSB, which only has a finance or accounting background, does not positively affect IBs' performance. In addition, GCG shows a very significant positive relationship with the IBs' performance. It indicates that effective and efficient governance by the Board of Directors, Board of Commissioners, and SSB through implementing better GCG and sharia principles will improve IBs performance.==========================================================================================================ABSTRAK – Bagaimana Kaitan Dewan Pengawas Syariah dan Good Corporate Governance dengan Kinerja Bank Syariah? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara karakteristik Dewan Pengawas Syariah (DPS) dan Good Corporate Governance (GCG) terhadap kinerja Bank Syariah (BS) di Indonesia. Data dikumpulkan dari 14 BS yang terdaftar di OJK selama periode 2013-2019. Berdasarkan hasil regresi berganda secara empiris menunjukkan bahwa DPS yang memiliki jabatan akademik sebagai profesor menunjukkan hubungan positif yang signifikan dengan kinerja BS. Sedangkan DPS dengan pendidikan doktor tidak memiliki hubungan positif dengan kinerja BS. Walaupun tidak berkorelasi positif, pendidikan doktor tetap diperlukan tetapi dengan latar belakang pendidikan hukum atau syariah, ekonomi termasuk keuangan atau akuntansi, dan muamalah. Karena latar belakang pendidikan tersebut terbukti memiliki hubungan positif yang signifikan dengan kinerja BS. Sedangkan DPS yang hanya berlatar belakang keuangan atau akuntansi tidak menunjukkan hubungan positif dengan kinerja BS. Selain itu, GCG menunjukkan hubungan positif yang sangat signifikan dengan kinerja BS. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tata kelola yang efektif dan efisien oleh Dewan Direksi, Dewan Komisaris, dan DPS melalui penerapan prinsip-prinsip GCG dan syariah yang lebih baik akan meningkatkan kinerja BS.

Authors: Ibrahim Azharsyah 
Published: January 2022

In this second issue of the 2021 edition, we mostly received manuscripts discussing the challenges of Islamic Banking and Financial Institutions (IBFIs) within the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, they discuss various topics within the field, such as institutional and employees' performances, financial stability, waqf institutions, the trend of Islamic economics research, and the relevance of Islamic economics and finance essential components to the modern economy. Approaching the publication deadline, only ten were accepted out of the dozen manuscripts that were reviewed. Nine were ready for publication, while the rest still needed quality improvements. As for the process, each manuscript will have to pass an initial review from our editor(s) before forwarding it to suitable reviewers. Some manuscripts would have to go through several rounds before being accepted. The reviewers' feedback was taken into consideration to provide the final decisions. Following that, the manuscripts would have to pass the editing stages, including proof-reading and layout, where our editor(s) will intensely communicate with the authors if needed. It is to ensure that each published manuscript has undergone a quality check. Interestingly, of the published articles, five of them discuss the performance issues in Islamic financial institutions, whilst the rest discuss Islamic economics and financial matters in other topics ranging from waqf institutions, the trend of Islamic economics research, to the relevance of Islamic economics and finance essential components to the modern economy.

Authors: Hendra Grandis Imama 
Published: January 2022

Islamic insurance is an Islamic financial service that guarantees a participant's life, health, education, asset, and business. Some of them experienced a decline in their financial stability. This study aims to analyze the determinants of financial stability of Islamic insurance companies registered at the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) from 2014 to 2018. Thirty-eight data observations were acquired from eight full-fledged Islamic insurance businesses' financial reporting, analyzed using panel data regression. The dependent variable is financial stability, whilst investment, capital structure, insurance premiums, independent board of commissioners, sharia supervisory board, board of directors, and institutional ownership are the independent variables. The results show that financial stability is significantly affected by investment, insurance premiums, independent boards, and institutional ownership. The capital structure, sharia supervisory board, and board of directors do not affect the financial stability. Increasing the number of participant contributions and strategic investments should be a concern of Islamic insurance managers. The role of an independent board and Institutional owners supervisory could strengthen the financial stability of Islamic Insurance. Research on Financial stability is supporting the development of Islamic insurance companies.==================================================================================================== ABSTRAK – Determinan Stabilitas Keuangan Perusahaan Asuransi Syariah yang Terdaftar pada Otoritas Jasa Keuangan.

Caracterización y tipificación de los sistemas de producción de Gulupa (Passiflora edulis f. edulis Sims) en las regiones Norte y Centro - Occidente de Tolima
Authors: Rodriguez Polanco Eleonora , Bermeo Fúquene Paula , Segura-Amaya José , Parra-Alferes Edinson 
Published: January 2022

Contextualización: La gulupa es una de las frutas exóticas con mayor demanda en el mercado internacional y es el tercer fruto que más exporta el país. El departamento de Tolima incrementó el área de cultivos de gulupa en un 61 %, del 2015 al 2019, lo que indica la progresiva importancia económica del cultivo en el departamento.
Vacío de conocimiento: A pesar de lo anterior, no se evidencian estudios de caracterización y/o tipificación de los productores, lo que limita una adecuada orientación de las políticas públicas de inversión, investigación y transferencia de tecnología. En consideración con esta situación, este estudio tuvo como objetivo caracterizar y tipificar los sistemas de producción de gulupa, teniendo en cuenta los aspectos productivos, tecnológicos y sanitarios vinculados al cultivo en los principales municipios productores de las regiones norte y centro - occidente del departamento de Tolima.
Metodología: Con este propósito se diseñó y aplicó una encuesta estructurada para la captura de la información. La caracterización de los productores se realizó mediante análisis multivariado empleando análisis de correspondencia múltiple (ACM). La agrupación se llevó a cabo a través de análisis clúster, utilizando la distancia euclidiana y el método de Ward.
Resultados y conclusiones: En general, los resultados revelaron un nivel tecnológico bajo-alto asociado a la producción de gulupa en el departamento. Se identificaron dos grupos de productores. El Grupo I (GI) agrupó los productores ubicados principalmente en Cajamarca y Casabianca con un nivel tecnológico alto y con empleo de buenas prácticas agrícolas (BPA), el Grupo II (GII) agrupó a los productores ubicados principalmente en Santa Isabel y Rovira con un nivel tecnológico bajo y uso deficiente de BPA. El empleo de sistema de riego y cubierta plástica fueron identificadas como las practicas tecnológicas asociadas al grado de tecnificación del cultivo de gulupa en el Tolima. Los niveles de incidencia de la marchitez vascular (Fusarium oxysporum) alcanzaron valores entre el 4 al 59 % en los principales municipios productores, constituyéndose así en una potencial limitante sanitaria para la sostenibilidad en el tiempo del agronegocio de gulupa en el departamento.
Land-cover change in the department of Vichada, Colombia, from 1985 to 2017
Authors: Vitar Juan , Sandoval Parra Karen X. , Ortiz Moreno Martha L. 
Published: January 2022

Contextualization: Colombia has experienced multiple land-cover changes derived from socio-economic policies that have reduced the high biodiversity of the country.
Knowledge gap: In the Orinoquía region, the pressure to expand the agricultural frontier is increasing, without considering the importance of its natural resources.
Purpose: This paper aimed to analyze the land-cover variations associated with agricultural practices, in the department of Vichada, with a special interest in vulnerable ecosystems, such as the Bita’s river basin, using Geographic Information System [GIS] analysis of historical images taken by a remote sensor from the United States Geological Service [USGS] Earth Explorer portal.
Methodology: Documental review and an analysis of satellite images from 1985 to 2017.
Results and conclusions: The results showed that in Vichada, during a 32-year period, there was a transition from forest to cropland and pastures, in which 60% of the forest cover got lost. Moreover, areas of natural savannas were also replaced with pastures for livestock production. These land-cover changes were associated with government policies that fomented illegal occupation of land, monocultures, and non-native plantation forests. Bita’s river basin also lost a significant part of forest cover because of agribusiness development in the municipality of Puerto Carreño (Vichada). These land-cover changes have an impact on the ecological integrity of significant ecosystems and in their functionality in the region, that is why, conservation measures must be implemented.
Impediments to Blockchain Adoption
Authors: Appelbaum Deniz , Cohen Eric , Kinory Ethan , Stein Smith Sean 
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACTSatoshi Nakamoto (2008) published a seminal paper on a promising digital currency application and proposed a distributed ledger technology (DLT) to support it. Shortly thereafter, in 2009, bitcoin and the customized DLT that supports it were established. Although the DLT described by Nakamoto (2008), which packages data into blocks that are then cryptographically chained together (i.e., “block chain,” or “blockchain”), possesses features that are desirable for some business applications and/or their auditors, over a dozen years later there is not yet a widescale adoption of blockchain for business operations. This paper explores functionality, data and process integrity, and regulatory concerns as potential explanations for the lag in mainstream business and accounting adoption. We also contextualize some of the concerns that are likely to have delayed blockchain implementation by providing a framework of questions directed at both researchers and practitioners.
