description: The question in most people mind regarding Financial Reporting for Islamic Financial Institutions is which standards, my view is first the Financial reporting should be based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or the appropriate national reporting standards if the Country it is incorporated follows National Standards (it is a no special consideration being an Islamic Financial Institutions), then the reporting should comply with the National Companies Act and Banking or Financial Services Act requirements, then only should the reporting being accordance with Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institution (AAOIF) http://aaoifi.com/?lang=en or Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) https://www.ifsb.org/. The reason behind this is the foundation of Islamic finance is the ethical values on which it is based on, which would not allow it to violate national laws. The guiding maxim being “hub ul watan minal imaan” loosely translated as “love of one’s country is part of faith”. However, there is need to have a common framework for accounting and financial reporting for Islamic Financial Institution’s (IFI’s) to demonstrate to the common users of general purpose financial statements that the entities they are associated with comply, in form and in substance, with the principles and rules of the Islamic Sharia (“Jurisprudence”) in their financial and other transactions.

description: Islamic finance (Capital Markets, Banking and Insurance) has emerged from a niche financial market to the mainstream of finance. The geographic market, clientele served, products base and volume of funds have grown significantly. Furthermore, the players have increased and now include not only pure Islamic institutions but also hybrid players (conventional bank with Islamic Finance windows). Therefore, not understanding the unique risks of the Islamic Finance model (risk sharing and risk pooling) can cause a failure of the model igniting a financial crises with a ripple effect on the Islamic faith. Hence, managing these unique risks is extremely important.
OPeNDAP Hyrax Back-End Server (BES) Customization

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2008

description: This presentations were given as part of the Hyrax installation and customization workshop at the 10-year anniversary meeting of the ESIP (Earth Science Information Partners) Federation in July 2008. The workshop was a combination of lecture/presentation and hands-on use of Hyrax. Attendees were given a virtual machine on a CD-ROM that contained a complete development environment along with the Hyrax data server, already built and installed, and some open-source clients that can be used to read data from the server. Included here are the presentations and the CD-ROM image.

Summary: The OPeNDAP's Hyrax architecture consists of several components, including the OLFS (OPeNDAP Lightweight Front-end Server), Java servlet engine, and various modules. These modules facilitate the handling of different data formats and storage systems such as files and databases. The BES (Base Extraction Service) acts as a Unix daemon managing data access and responses, and it can be extended in various ways. Extensions include adding new commands, response objects, request handlers, and more. Modules are dynamically loaded into the BES, allowing for flexibility and customization. The configuration file, typically located at /usr/local/etc/bes/bes.conf, governs the setup and behavior of the BES. Requests can be made via command line tools or through the OLFS interface. The system supports different data handlers like CSV and offers methods for accessing and manipulating data containers, definitions, and catalogs. Response handling involves implementing specific response handlers that create and transmit response objects based on incoming requests.

description: Agricultural R&D investment is becoming an increasingly important policy issue as food prices push upwards and food security problems emerge. An important source of agricultural R&D funding is from producer check-offs, which are increasingly being used to fund applied agricultural research. Existing studies of producer-funded agricultural R&D indicate that there are high private and social rates of return to agricultural R&D investment by farmers, and thus that farmers are under investing in R&D. An important reason for underinvestment of producer-funded R&D is the spillovers across levy programs – the research benefits of one particular crop can flow to other crops via spillovers. The spillovers across levy programs are particularly important in jurisdictions, such as Canada, where agricultural R&D activity has been organized on a commodity-by-commodity basis. This study developed a theoretical model to capture farmers R&D investment decisions by explicitly specifying spillovers across levy programs.

description: We introduce Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on manifolds with Baas-Sullivan singularities, prove a corresponding homology invariance principle and discuss admissible products. Using this theory we construct positive scalar curvature metrics on closed smooth manifolds of dimension at least five which have odd order abelian fundamental groups, are nonspin and atoral. This solves the Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for a new class of manifolds with finite fundamental groups.

description: India signed in 2015 the historic Paris climate agreement together with more than 170 nations in order to fight against global warming and to reduce CO2-emissions in order to control global warming caused by greenhouse effect. The transportation sector was in 2021 the second biggest source of CO2-emissions worldwide. Decarbonising this sector will have a major effect on the worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. That is the reason why this sector will be challenged by the pressure through politics and legal demands for CO2-neutral and emission free vehicles. India is also facing those challenges. At the Glasgow Climate Change Conference in 2021 India announced to be climate neutral in 2070. There is no single best solution to decarbonising the transportation sector, but since passenger cars are the major source of CO2- emissions within the Indian transportation sector, the share of electric passenger cars is supporting to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this research is to identify and define the key influencing factors towards the acceptance behaviour of electric passenger cars out of a customer´s perspective in order to promote the sales of electric passenger cars in India. Through a systematic literature review and conducted expert interviews 14 influencing factors towards the acceptance behaviour of electric passenger cars have been identified, as well as gaps in the state of the art. A structural equation modelling was applied using the variance-based method to operationalize the complex Technology Acceptance Model of this research. Moreover, 24 research hypotheses have been outlined by the researcher which have been empirically validated and thus either confirmed or falsified through the data out of the field research. For the field research an online questionnaire was conducted with 232 participants. There were unexpected findings in this research, such as that driving range does not have a major impact on the general behavioural intention to use electric passenger cars; however, hypotheses such as that governmental incentives and a sufficient charging infrastructure do positively influence the acceptance behaviour towards electric passenger cars, have been confirmed. Thus, the findings out of this research will help to address the right topics to promote electric passenger cars successfully in India, to reduce CO2-emissions in India and to contribute combating global warming. This thesis will derive design parameters for policy makers and other utilities in order to understand existing gaps in the expansion of e-mobility in India and in order to show recommendations for action.

description: Educational technologies have been important in supporting the teaching and learning process. In this context, the [blind to review] virtual assistant was designed to recommend block programming tools for teachers. The assistant has a set of questions that address aspects such as support material, language, subject, among other relevant factors. These questions aim to facilitate the suggestion of the block programming tools that are most appropriate to the context of each subject and teacher. The effectiveness, intuitiveness and inclusiveness of this virtual assistant depends on criteria such as usability, accessibility and user experience. Therefore, this paper presents an evaluation of the [blind to review] virtual assistant by ten Human-Computer Interaction experts, who sought to identify improvements and promote more efficient and satisfactory interactions for this assistant. As a result, problems such as design inconsistencies, lack of responsiveness on mobile devices, difficulties in navigation, and accessibility barriers, such as the absence of captions in videos and contrast adjustment options, were identified. These findings enable improvements to ensure that [blind to review] is effective, inclusive and generates a good experience for your user,

description: We present the first high spectral resolution X-ray observation of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4636, obtained with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer on-board the XMM-Newton Observatory. The resulting spectrum contains a wealth of emission lines from various charge states of oxygen, neon, magnesium, and iron. Examination of the cross-dispersion profiles of several of these lines provides clear, unambiguous evidence of resonance scattering by the highest oscillator strength lines, as well as a weak temperature gradient in the inner regions of the interstellar medium. We invoke a sophisticated new Monte Carlo technique which allows us to properly account for these effects in performing quantitative fits to the spectrum. Our spectral fits are not subject to many of the systematics that have plagued earlier investigations. The derived metal abundances are higher than have been inferred from prior, lower spectral resolution observations of this source (Awaki et al. 1994), but are still incompatible with conventional chemical enrichment models of elliptical galaxies. In addition, our data are incompatible with standard cooling flow models for this system - our derived upper limit to the mass deposition rate is below the predicted value by a factor of 3--5.

In this framework, we study the full reconstruction of M_nu with special emphasis on the correlation between the Majorana CP-violating phase and the various mixing angles. The impact of the recent KamLAND results on the effective neutrino mass parameter is also briefly discussed.

description: The study empirically revealed striking difference in the consumption pattern of Indian households across rural and urban sectors, geographical regions and income categories. The findings were in conformity with Engel’s law and Bennett’s law of consumption. Expenditure elasticities of food commodities were estimated using LA-AIDS demand system and food demand was projected for the year 2020. The expenditure elasticities of high value agricultural commodities (HVACs) like milk, nonvegetarian products, fruits, etc. were higher than staple food, i.e., cereals. Further, wide inter-regional variations in the household demand for food commodities necessitates to match the demand and supply at disaggregate level and to remove the bottlenecks in production of food commodities in the respective region to fulfil the demand.

On unbounded Minkowski space-time, we explain why such states do not exist for scalars. For the Dirac field, we are able to construct rotating vacuum and thermal states, for which expectation values can be computed exactly in the massless case. We compare these quantum expectation values with the corresponding quantities derived in relativistic kinetic theory.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Two new methods for investigation of two-dimensional quantum systems, whose Hamiltonians are not amenable to separation of variables, are proposed. 1)The first one - $SUSY-$ separation of variables - is based on the intertwining relations of Higher order SUSY Quantum Mechanics (HSUSY QM) with supercharges allowing for separation of variables. 2)The second one is a generalization of shape invariance. While in one dimension shape invariance allows to solve algebraically a class of (exactly solvable) quantum problems, its generalization to higher dimensions has not been yet explored. Here we provide a formal framework in HSUSY QM for two-dimensional quantum mechanical systems for which shape invariance holds. Given the knowledge of one eigenvalue and eigenfunction, shape invariance allows to construct a chain of new eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. These methods are applied to a two-dimensional quantum system, and partial explicit solvability is achieved in the sense that only part of the spectrum is found analytically and a limited set of eigenfunctions is constructed explicitly.

description: Biomass based agriculture, one of the reasons for biomass depletion in the Western Ghats, unless addressed can disturb the forest ecosystem and thereby impact agriculture adversely. A study of four villages in Uttara Kannada district shows that farmers cultivating both arecanut and sugarcane extract almost double the quantity of biomass that paddy cultivators do, mostly from natural forests. Instances of biomass saving with the adoption of fuel-efficient stoves and live-fences show that there is a huge potential to save further. But to add momentum to conservation programme, there is a need for awareness creation and government assistance for villagers to adopt these techniques.

description: In a tachyon effective field theory of a non-BPS brane, we construct a classical solution representing a parallel brane-antibrane. The solution is made of a kink and an antikink placed at antipodal points of S^1. Estimation of the brane energy suggests an excitation of a string connecting the two branes, even though the theory is Abelian. We performed fluctuation analysis around the obtained solution, and find the structure of the supersymmetry breaking by the co-existence of the brane and the antibrane. We discuss possible processes of the pair-annihilation of the brane defect.

description: The crossbred cows occupy an important place in milk production system of North-Eastern States (N-E States). In majority of the states except Assam and Tripura, crossbred cows produced more than 50 per cent of the total milk (2007-08). However, milk production from crossbred animals in the region is affected by a number of technical constraints. The present study estimates the value of milk losses due to important constraints in order to quantify the loss and set priorities for their removal. Data for the study were collected from N-E States for crossbred cows. Based on the estimates, mineral deficiency appeared to be the most important constraint causing maximum economic losses, i.e., Rs. 55.28 crores followed by repeat breeding (Rs. 36.62 crores) and worms infestation (Rs. 12.91 crores). These three constraints account for 94 per cent of the total value of milk loss where mineral deficiency alone accounts for approximately 50 per cent losses. While, foot and mouth disease, mastitis, haemorrheric septicaemia, black quarter and milk fever placed in decreasing order in terms of their rank based on economic losses were found to be the minor constraints accounting for only six per cent of the total value of milk loss (Rs. 112.08 crores). All the constraints had lowered milk productivity of crossbred cows by 0.862 L/day. Tackling the constraints will increase milk production of the region by six per cent and will improve milk productivity and generate surpluses.

description: We present a composite 1-10 keV Seyfert 2 X-ray spectrum, derived from ASCA observations of a distance-limited sample of nearby galaxies. All 29 observed objects were detected. Above ~3 keV, the composite spectrum is inverted, confirming that Seyfert 2 galaxies as a class have the spectral properties necessary to explain the flat shape of the cosmic X-ray background spectrum. Integrating the composite spectrum over redshift, we find that the total emission from Seyfert 2 galaxies, combined with the expected contribution from unabsorbed type 1 objects, provides an excellent match to the spectrum and intensity of the hard X-ray background. The principal uncertainty in this procedure is the cosmic evolution of the Seyfert 2 X-ray luminosity function. Separate composite spectra for objects in our sample with and without polarized broad optical emission lines are also presented.

description: We present molecular line observations of the star-forming cloud around RNO6 along with a newly discovered nearby molecular cloud that we name RNO6NW. Both clouds display striking similarities in their cometary structures and overall kinematics. By using 13CO line observations, we estimate that these clouds have similar sizes (~4.5 pc) and masses (~200 solar masses). Both molecular clouds RNO6 and RNO6NW are active in star formation. From new high resolution near-IR narrowband images, we confirm that RNO6 hosts an embedded IR cluster that includes a Herbig Be star. A conspicuous H2 filament is found to delineate the dense cometary head of the globule. RNO6NW hosts at least two IR sources and a bipolar molecular outflow of ~0.9 pc of length and ~0.5 solar masses. We show that the cometary structure of both clouds has been created by the UV radiation from numerous OB stars lying ~1.5 degree to the north. Such OB stars are associated with the double cluster h and chi Persei, and are probably members of the PerOB1 association. Thus star formation inside these clouds has been very likely triggered by the Radiation Driven Implosion (RDI) mechanism. From comparison to RDI theoretical models, we find that the similar kinematics and morphology of both clouds is well explained if they are at a re-expansion phase. Triggered sequential star formation also explains the observed spatial distribution of the members of the near-IR cluster inside the RNO6 cloud, and the morphology of the H2 filament. We conclude that the RNO6 and RNO6NW clouds are high-mass counterparts to the cometary globules of smaller masses which have been studied up to now. Thus our observations demonstrate that the RDI mechanism can produce, not only low mass stars in small globules, but also intermediate mass stars and clusters in massive clouds.

description: We analyze the most general case of third-order Chern-Simons-like theories of massive 3D gravity. Results show the conditions for finding the unitary regions on the parameter space. There exists $(n-1)$th order theories on the boundary of a unitary $n$th order model on parameter space under certain conditions, as the first example recently demonstrated from the bimetric generalization of exotic massive gravity. We investigated the mechanism that causes this type of transition for third-order models. Hamiltonian analysis of the theory also presents that ghost and no-ghost regions can be separated by Chern-Simons theories.

description: Field experiments were conducted on the sandy loam soils of Center for Protected Cultivation Technology (CPCT), Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, India during October - February seasons for 2 years (2008-2010) to evaluate the economic feasibility of trickle irrigation in combination with different irrigation intervals, N application rate and crop geometry for lettuce crop. Reference evapo-transpiration for lettuce crop was estimated using FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method. The net irrigation volume (V) was determined after deducting the effective rainfall. The plan of experiment included three crop geometries [45×30 (G1); 30×30 (G2) and 17.5×30 (G3) (Row × Plant spacing in cm)], two irrigation schedules [2 day (I1) and 4 day (I2) interval] and 2 levels of nitrogen application [60 kg ha-1 (N1) and 100 kg ha-1 (N2)]. For both the experiments, three replications were given. The study indicated that 2 day irrigation interval with 100 kg N ha-1 application in 17.5 × 30cm crop geometry gave the highest yield (41.4 t ha-1) with 6 per cent increase in yield as compared to rest of the treatments. The same treatment has resulted into maximum net seasonal income, benefit-cost ratio (BCR) and lowest payback period for both the years, respectively.

description: Self-adaptive vibration energy harvesters convert the kinetic energy from vibration sources into electrical energy and continuously adapt their resonance frequency to the vibration frequency. Only when the two frequencies match can the system harvest energy efficiently. The harvesting of vibration sources with a time-variant frequency therefore requires self-adaptive vibration harvesting systems without human intervention. This work presents a self-adaptive energy harvesting system that works completely self-sufficiently. Using magnetic forces, the axial load on a bending beam is changed and thus the resonance frequency is set. The system achieves a relative tuning range of 23% at a center frequency of 36.4 Hz. Within this range, the resonance frequency of the harvester can be set continuously and precisely. With a novel optimized method for frequency measurement and with customized electronics, the system only needs 22 μW to monitor the external vibration frequency and is therefore also suitable for environments with low vibration amplitudes. The system was verified on a vibrational test bench and can easily be tailored to a specific vibration source.

description: We examine Lyman continuum extinction (LCE) in H II regions by comparing infrared fluxes of 49 H II regions in the Galaxy, M31, M33, and the LMC with estimated production rates of Lyman continuum photons. A typical fraction of Lyman continuum photons that contribute to hydrogen ionization in the H II regions of three spiral galaxies is $\la$ 50 %. The fraction may become smaller as the metallicity (or dust-to-gas ratio) increases. We examine the LCE effect on estimated star formation rates (SFR) of galaxies. The correction factor for the Galactic dust-to-gas ratio is 2-5.

description: When deploying autonomous agents in unstructured environments over sustained periods of time, adaptability and robustness oftentimes outweigh optimality as a primary consideration. In other words, safety and survivability constraints play a key role and in this paper, we present a novel, constraint-learning framework for control tasks built on the idea of constraints-driven control. However, since control policies that keep a dynamical agent within state constraints over infinite horizons are not always available, this work instead considers constraints that can be satisfied over some finite time horizon T > 0, which we refer to as limited-duration safety. Consequently, value function learning can be used as a tool to help us find limited-duration safe policies. We show that, in some applications, the existence of limited-duration safe policies is actually sufficient for long-duration autonomy. This idea is illustrated on a swarm of simulated robots that are tasked with covering a given area, but that sporadically need to abandon this task to charge batteries. We show how the battery-charging behavior naturally emerges as a result of the constraints. Additionally, using a cart-pole simulation environment, we show how a control policy can be efficiently transferred from the source task, balancing the pole, to the target task, moving the cart to one direction without letting the pole fall down.

description:
Racism, a multidimensional system of oppression and exclusion, is part of the foundation of the United States and is detrimental to the health and well-being of Black communities and other racially and ethnically minoritized (REM) communities. There is an emerging body of literature that draws attention to the impact of racism and different racialized experiences on the lives of REM children. Based on the Racism + Resilience + Resistance Integrative Study of Childhood Ecosystem (R 3 ISE) and focused on attending to the interaction between racism and the cultural assets of REM families and communities, this review highlights how racism impacts REM children's healthy development and learning. In addition to calling for research that advances racial equity using the R 3 ISEintegrative model, we also identify policies that have some potential to ensure equity in economic stability and security, home and community environment, birth outcomes, and educational opportunities for REM children and their families.
Lone Anarchists and Peace Pilgrims: The Relevance of Political Motivations to Sentencing

description: In late 2017, a Tasmanian ‘anarchist’ wearing a ‘Vote Yes’ [for same-sex marriage] badge headbutted former Prime Minister Tony Abbott. A few months later, six ‘peace pilgrims’ were sentenced for trespassing onto the Pine Gap military base as part of a political protest. These two cases raised the important question of what effect (if any) offenders’ political motivations should have on their sentences: an issue which has received surprisingly little academic attention in Australia to date. This article examines the general relevance of political motivations to sentencing. It identifies two distinct approaches that have been taken in the Australian case law: a sympathetic approach, in which political motivations are considered to be mitigating; and an unsympathetic approach, in which politically motivated offences are seen to require strongly denunciatory and deterrent sentences. It explores the factors that influence sentencing judges’ adoption of a particular approach, and sketches out some key principles that should guide judges when determining whether an offender’s political motivations are mitigating, drawing on a combination of political philosophy and Australian constitutional law.

description: It has been shown by Polchinski and Strassler that the scaling of high energy QCD scattering amplitudes can be obtained from string theory. They considered an AdS slice as an approximation for the dual space of a confining gauge theory. Here we use this approximation to estimate in a very simple way the ratios of scalar glueball masses imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions on the string dilaton field. These ratios are in good agreement with the results in the literature. We also find that they do not depend on the size of the slice.
