description: The constant problems encountered in the fields of medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry, especially those related to the side effects of drug candidates, have risen the concern of developing methods that can help us achieve the therapeutic effect without undesired properties. This thesis describes the development of two different Drug Delivery Systems based on the modification of natural occurring molecules. The first one is directed to the treatment of parasitic tropical diseases. The alteration of pantothenic acid with the introduction of a double bond has proved to increase the uptake of fluorescent labelled molecules in different model systems with low cytotoxicity. The concept of this Drug Delivery System relies on the necessity of the parasites to consume the host’s pantothenic acid for their own biological processes. Due to their inability to synthesise this vitamin along with the huge supply they need to survive, it was hypothesised that the increased uptake of CJ-15,801 would allow us to attach interesting molecules that could be selectively delivered into parasites. The second example of a Drug Delivery System presented in this work is based on peptides released by cells of the immune system. The so called Cationic Amphiphilic Peptides are released by an organism that is under the attack of potential pathogens. Due to their physicochemical properties, they can stop an infection by direct killing of microorganisms by different mechanisms. Either by the membrane disruption or internalisation and intracellular targeting, the presence of positively charged residues play a major role on the activity of these peptides. By substitution of the natural occurring lysine and arginine residues with a new class of phosphonium based amino acids, a new class of cationic amphiphilic peptides was synthesised. Fluorescent versions of these peptides have allowed us to investigate their properties. They are characterised by their ability to cross cellular membranes with relatively low toxicity compared to the natural occurring versions of the sequences and even though their direct antimicrobial activity is diminished they can be used as potential Cell Penetrating Peptides. Finally, due to the nature of the cation present in these new peptides, it is theorised that they can have certain selectivity to deliver drugs into mitochondria. Although further studies to prove this need to be done, an initial experiment is reported at the end of this work.

Year: 2018
Subjects: Takaful demand, Per capita income, Stock (KSE Index), Saving, Interest rate and Inflation

description: This study empirically verifies the link between macroeconomic variables (i.e. income per capita, savings, inflation, stock and index) with the demand for Family Takaful in the context of Pakistan using time-series data from 2006 to 2016 of Pak-Qatar Family Takaful Company and Dawood Family Takaful Company. It was concluded from this study that per capita income is a strong forecaster of Family Takaful demand in Pakistan, while other macro-economic factors such as KSE composite index has significant and positive relationship with Takaful demand in Pakistan. The other three variables i.e. saving, interest rate and inflation are having insignificant relationship with Family Takaful demand in Pakistan.

Publisher: name: European Journal of Islamic Finance
Year: 2018
Subjects: Thailand; Islamic Banking; E-banking; SEM

description: The objective of the paper is to examine the level of acceptance of E-banking services in Thailand, with a special focus on Islamic banks' customers. The study also attempts to identify the main dimensions that would contribute to the acceptance and proper usage of E-banking services by Islamic banks' customers. A survey questionnaire was distributed to 500 Islamic banks' customers in Thailand.  The survey covered the capital city of Bangkok and surrounding areas, but focused mostly on the southern part of Thailand, which is majority Muslim area. The collected data was subsequently analysed using descriptive statistics, one sample t-test, and structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings revealed that the Islamic banks' customers in Thailand have a high tendency of adopting E-banking services across-groups. Furthermore, the results showed that perceived ease of use has a significant positive impact on perceived usefulness. In addition, both perceived ease of use and usefulness have a significant positive impact on customers' adoption of E-banking services. These findings have a significant contribution to the theory, policymakers, as well as the practitioners and regulators in the banking and Islamic banking areas.

Subjects: Sukuk-waqf, public spending, sustainability.

description: The majority of Muslim countries face increasing pressure on their budget, which pushes to more public spending. Eventually, the main victim of this situation will be the welfare of Muslim communities. Despite Islam does not tolerate negligence regarding the importance of State as major player in preserving the welfare of Muslim communities, it offers a third option to support public effort through the institution of Waqf. Indeed, this institution has played a crucial role all along Muslim civilization and it is invited to more innovation to answer to today’s challenges. Sukuk-Waqf can be seen as the perfect sustainable financing instrument offered by Islam to help sustain public spending by the people and for the people. It presents. This paper will try to examine the concept of Waqf, cash Waqf and Sukuk Waqf is Islam and their evolution during Muslim civilization. Finally, it will go through modern attempts to implement this model that can answer the need for financing to support public effort to preserve the welfare of Muslim citizens.

The displaced commercial risk and Islamic banks
Creators: name: DRISSI, SALMA
name: ANGADE, Khadija
Publisher: name: European Journal of Islamic Finance
Year: 2018
Subjects: Islamic banks; risk; participatory investment accounts; competition

description: This Islamic Finance has attracted an ever-increasing interest over the last forty years and has undergone a remarkable expansion in asset value. Nevertheless, the peculiarity of Islamic financing modes proposed by these institutions may present certain limits in their execution which exposes these banks to risks that emanate from the characteristics of their particular modes of operation. The aim of our article is to analyze the main risk specifically to Islamic financial institutions namely the displaced commercial risk. This risk arises from participatory investment accounts. In other words, this situation occurs when the banks, under pressure from the environment, are forced to give up part of their profits to pay the depositors, in order to prevent massive withdrawals that can be translated into a liquidity crisis later. In order to avoid such a situation, Islamic banks highlight income smoothing mechanisms on participatory investment accounts.

Publisher: name: European Journal of Islamic Finance
Year: 2018
Subjects: Sukuk, Shariah Compliance, Default

description: Dana Gas’s proclamation that its sukuk is unlawful under Shariah and UAE law, garnered the attention of prominent business publications in the summer of 2017. The unprecedented move by Dana Gas could potentially instigate wider ramifications for the sukuk industry. The purpose of this paper, is to investigate whether Dana Gas provided valid grounds to justify their sukuk as being unlawful under Shariah law. It highlights the key claims of Dana Gas about the prevailing market conditions at the time of the sukuk issuance and the legal challenges involved. The methodological approach of this paper focuses on key documentation, which includes the sukuk prospectus and company statements. Based on the analysis of the sukuk features, there are a few infringements of Shariah rulings in the profit distribution and purchase undertaking practices, when benchmarked against AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions) standards.

Contingency Planning in Traditional and Islamic Banks During the Crisis in Syria: Crisis Management Perspective
Creators: name: Kahwaji, Ahmad Taha
Publisher: name: European Journal of Islamic Finance
Year: 2018
Subjects: Contingency planning, Traditional banks, Islamic banks, crisis management, Syria.

description: The Syrian crisis is one of the worst crisis in the world. It has dramatically affected many aspects of life and civilization. It imposed millions of emigration to many countries, and negatively affected the national economy including international companies operating in Syria, and also local.

 It imposed on its economic sides the exit of many institutions and companies from the market, and also led to the adoption of different types of retrenchment strategies by companies that could not exit or those who wanted to stay challenged and motivated by the management of its operations and activities in an exceptional manner commensurate with the crisis continues to the present.

 Before the Syrian crisis, banking industry (Traditional and Islamic) in Syria was growing rapidly and in a stable pace. The crisis situation has resulted an unexpected conditions that banks were have to deal with. This research highlights the negative effects of the crisis on Islamic and traditional banks operated in Syria, it also indicates some of the responses the banks has employed in order to mitigate or eliminate the crisis bad effects. The applied research has been modified to explore implementation of crisis management literature in Syrian banks (Traditional and Islamic) and the role of that implementation in supporting contingency planning.

 The study found three main results. First, there is a positive and significant correlation between the crisis management and contingency planning. Second, the Syrian employees believe that Syrian banks has adapted crisis management practices. Finally, the study indicated that banks’ employee believe that their work conditions and job environment was negatively affected by the crisis situation.

Essays on Empirical Asset Pricing
Creators: name: Ho, Thang
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis is a collection of three essays corresponding to the three research projects I undertook in the area of empirical asset pricing and institutional investors. In the first essay, we show that a simple and intuitive variable, the return of a bear spread portfolio orthogonalized with respect to the market (H-Bear factor), can serve as an important pillar for explaining the cross-section of hedge fund returns. Low H-Bear exposure funds (bear risk insurance sellers) outperform high H-Bear exposure funds (bear risk insurance buyers) by 0.58% per month on average, outperform even during market crashes, but underperform when bear market risk materializes. Overall, we identify a new risk dimension that affects hedge fund performance, and we show that this risk factor is distinct from the already popular realized tail risk. The second essay analyzes the impact of firm-level political risk on individual equity option. We document a political risk premium of about 0.30% per month in the equity option market. High-political risk firms exhibit delta-hedged option returns that are significantly lower than those of low-political risk firms. The effect holds both in a cross-sectional and in a time-series context. Further, the political risk-option return relation is more pronounced among firms with high option demand, high information asymmetry, and high default probability, while it is mitigated for politically active firms. The demand pressure for the options of politically risky firms is driven by the call purchases of public customers and the put purchases of firm proprietary investors. Hence, it appears that due to its heterogeneous nature firm-level political risk is treated differently by different investor groups. In the third essay, we investigate the effect of climate change exposure on mutual fund performance. In the presence of rising concern about climate change that potentially affects risk and return of investors’ portfolio companies, active investors might have dispersed climate risk exposures. We compute mutual fund covariance with market-wide climate change news index and find that high (positive) climate beta funds outperform low (negative) climate beta funds by 0.24% per month on a risk-adjusted basis. High climate beta funds tilt their holdings toward stocks with high potential to hedge against climate change. In the cross section, such stocks yield higher excess returns, which are driven by greater pricing pressure and superior financial performance over our sample period.

Sarah Bernhardt in Brazil (1886 and 1893)
Creators: name: Moura, Monize Oliveira
Publisher: name: Journal of Global Theatre History
Year: 2016

description: During the second half of the nineteenth century, Sarah Bernhardt has helped to establish theatrical trade routes between Europe and the Americas as a result of her international travels. Her tours in Brazil intensified the exchanges between this country and the French theatre, and the presence of this famous actress indicated the inclusion of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in the “global” theatrical circuit of great stars that was then being formed. While revisiting this process, this article investigates its symbolic meaning and its impacts on a local level (Brazil): how these tours connected
 Sarah Bernhardt to foreign audiences (thereby helping to shape a global cultural space) and to which extent foreign audiences’ expectations have weighed in on the aesthetic features of these productions. From a broader perspective, in this sense, cultural globalization and translocal audiences are essential to assessing the production of French theatre in the nineteenth century.

Experimenting with Dance Drama: Peking Opera Modernity, Kabuki Theater Reform and the Denishawn’s Tour of the Far East
Creators: name: Yeh, Catherine Vance
Publisher: name: Journal of Global Theatre History
Year: 2016

description: During the 1910s and 20s, Peking opera underwent a fundamental transformation from a performing art primarily driven by singing to one included acting and dancing. Leading this new development were male actors playing female roles, with Mei Lanfang as the most outstanding example. The acknowledged sources on which these changes drew were the encounter with Western style opera. The artistic and social values carrying these changes, however, suggest that Peking opera underwent a qualitative reconceptualization that involved a critical break with its past. This paper will explore the artistic transformation of Peking opera of the 1910s-20s by focusing on the three areas of contact Paris, Japan and the US. It will argue that the particular artistic innovation in Peking can only be fully understood and appraised in the context of global cultural interaction. It suggests that a new assessment of the modernist movement is needed that sees it as a part of a global trend rather than only as a European phenomenon.

„Die erste Jockey-Reiterin der Welt, aus Süd-Amerika“:  Rosita de la Plata, Global Imaginaries and the Media
Creators: name: Dupré, Johanna
Publisher: name: Journal of Global Theatre History
Year: 2016

description: In this paper, the term global imaginary describes the way how people at different times in history perceived the increasing interconnectedness of the world –and how they imagined the globality of the world and their place in it due to that fact. The article’s intention is to take the case of the Argentina-born circus jockey rider Rosita de la Plata as an example to show how marketing mechanisms in the entertainment industry of the 19th century, a time markedly characterized by processes of global integration, catered to these global imaginaries, in order to appeal to different publics. This is mainly achieved via the analysis of a number of newspaper ads and articles

Herr Daniel Bandmann and Shakespeare vs the World
Creators: name: Warrington, Lisa J.
Publisher: name: Journal of Global Theatre History
Year: 2016

description: German actor Daniel Bandmann played his first Hamlet at the age of 20, and made his English language debut as Shylock in New York, 1863. In his prime, he performed extensively in America, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, amongst other countries. Though he played roles which ranged from Narcisse and the Corsican twins to Jekyll and Hyde, he was perhaps most closely identified with a handful of Shakespearean roles: Hamlet, Shylock, Macbeth, Othello, Iago. His apparently ungovernable temper led to a love/hate relationship with the critics, played out in public through the newspapers.  His responses to criticism open a window into his playing of these roles. This paper examines Bandmann’s acting in the role of Hamlet and the critical interchanges he engaged in around the world, as an exemplar of the interaction of theatre and the global media.

description:  This study investigates teacher job satisfaction in public basic schools in the Japekrom Education Circuit in the Jaman South District of the Bono Region of Ghana. The study design is a descriptive cross-sectional survey with Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory as the supporting theoretical framework. The sample comprised 125 randomly selected teachers, and data were collected using a structured questionnaire adapted from Spector’s (1985) Job Satisfaction Survey. The data were analyzed using frequency, mean, and standard deviation. The study revealed that public basic school teachers are dissatisfied with their salary and fringe benefits but are satisfied with their work environment, promotion, growth, and career advancement opportunities. The study recommends increasing teachers’ responsibility allowances, retirement benefits, and other fringe benefits by the government to appreciable levels if teachers are to contribute meaningfully to attaining school and educational goals.

Mexico and the European Union trade renegotiation of 2020: A deep integration agreement Version 2.0?
Creators: name: Del Rosio Barajas E., María
name: Sotomayor, Maritza
Publisher: name: De Europa
Year: 2022

description: After more than 20 years of trade integration, Mexico and the European Union (EU) started renegotiating the accord in 2016 and concluded in 2020. The treaty signed in 2000 corresponds to a series of deep integration agreements that seek to go further than the liberalization of goods, services, and investments and aspire to be more of an understanding of cooperation in several policy areas. Mexico joined the agreement to achieve more diversified exports to offset Mexico's dependence on the US market and to include other spheres besides trade. The EU found in Mexico a trade partner with a strategic geographical location to access the US and Canadian markets. Likewise, the EU would benefit from the liberalized Mexican financial market with potential profits in the financial and telecommunication sectors. This work reviews the agreement in 2020 from the deep integration agreement framework lens. We examine to what extent these provisions provide the conditions for a deep integration that benefits both regions. We also analyze whether the renegotiation of 2020 can be seen as an attempt to further this cooperation process and the economic implications for Mexico. We argue in this paper that the former Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and Mexico (FTA-EU-MX) consolidated a trade pattern that existed before the agreement with EU multinationals concentrated in critical industrial sectors, without significant trade creation for medium and small businesses. This result confirms that there have been advances in shallow integration but no substantial changes in cooperation or deep integration. After analyzing the 2020 renegotiation text, we conclude that Mexico could achieve significant gains in areas of cooperation as the 2020 text has more enforceable policies, which was not the case with the 2000 treaty.

Subspecies Paranyctimene tenax subsp. marculus Bergmans 2001
Discussion: Revised by Bergmans (2001). Bergmans (2001) proposed that Paranyctimene be considered a subgenus of Nyctimene, but I retain Paranyctimene as a distinct genus pending studies of phylogenetic relationships of these taxa. Should Paranyctimene be shown to nest within a clade of Nyctimene species, I would support synonymizing these genera. However, I see little to be gained by this change if Nyctimene sensu stricto proves to be monophyletic with respect to Paranyctimene (and vice versa) given the long history of usage of these names. Electophoretic data published by Donnellan et al. (1995) suggests that these taxa are indeed reciprocally monophyletic.

description: This case study on Turkey is the third of a trilogy of case study reports that assess the view of the EU cultural and science diplomacy from the outside. It provides important insights into the ways in which neighbourhood countries think and behave in these areas, as well as benchmarks against which future evolutions can be tracked. The case study reports are the outcome of impact studies analysing how the EU’s cultural and science diplomacy initiatives are perceived in three Mediterranean countries, namely Egypt, Turkey and Tunisia. The objective is to evaluate the degree to which populations notice and appreciate European culture and science diplomacy actions, and to understand the Southern partners’ image of the EU. Through survey (quantitative study) and interviews (qualitative study), these studies aim at measuring the reception of the EU’s messages in the considered countries. The reports point to the need for information campaigns and feedbacks about the different programmes in order to fill in the existing gap between experts and general public.
