Digital risks and Islamic FinTech: a road map to social justice and financial inclusion

Purpose This study aims to map the digital risks for the Islamic finance industry. Since 2010, the financial space has largely shifted from being banking-centric to the entrepreneurship spectrum, benefiting from groundbreaking innovations in computer technology. The problem of Islamic Finance is that it is still within its banking-centric moment that is risk averse leading to financial exclusion. As with all innovations, there are associated risks that require careful consideration to ensure the reaping of the benefits of these technologies while controlling the risks at its lowest. In this context, the aim of this study is to highlight the risks associated with financial technologies (FinTech) to prepare the Islamic finance sector to serve the economic ideals of Maqāṣid al-Shariah in financial inclusion and profit and loss sharing. The main research question is as follows: What do Islamic Finance industry need to do to manage the digital risks for financial inclusion? Design/methodology/approach This study uses narrative review method in analysing the discourse of financial technology literature using qualitative data collected from the literature on the topic. It aimed to problematise associated digital risks from the Shariah compliance and Maqā¸ṣid al-Shariah critical viewpoints. Considering the nature of this conceptual study, it adopts a qualitative methodology by using discourse and thematic analysis of the literature that can lay the foundation for future empirical testing on the topic. Findings The study found that managing risks faced by the Islamic financial sector while adapting to the digital era can be divided into two main clusters: risk mitigation for Shariah-compliant FinTech and risk avoidance for Shariah non-compliant innovations. The high level of gharar associated with current practices in both cryptocurrencies and smart contracts needs additional regulation and simulation before they can be reconsidered for market-wide application. Cloud computing, crowdfunding and big data have promising applications that can address the limitations of the Islamic finance industry, particularly in terms of reducing transactional costs. Research limitations/implications This conceptual article offers some insights into the subject; nevertheless, it does not attempt to establish causation or generalise the results. Additional statistical testing is required prior to generalising the results. Practical implications Due to the difficulties experienced since its inception, the Islamic financial industry is in urgent need of the cutting-edge solutions required to gain a competitive edge in the market and get over the limits that came with its late entry into the financial sector. Mapping digital risks is imperative for the development of comprehensive prudential risk management strategies for the Islamic finance industry that can fix its problems and enable it to deliver the more favourable Shariah-based solutions, rather than remaining in the lower bands of Shariah compliance. Originality/value Findings of the study lay the foundation for empirical testing the volatility of FinTech innovations for the Islamic finance industry to reduce uncertainties and generate reliable forecasts. Scholarship on managing digital risks for Islamic financial institutions is still developing due to the covid global lockdown and the looming recession, and this study will help enhance theorisation necessary that can aspire economic recovery after current challenges.

Об актуальности антропосоциоэкологического подхода в философской антропологии и философии цивилизационных процессов

Abstract. The authors of the article present the idea of an anthroposocioecological approach in philosophical anthropology and philosophy of civilizational processes, working on the approved state budget research topic “Anthroposocioecological configurations of modern philosophy of the XXI century”. Attracting the scientific thought of academician V.S. Stepin, who identified such major global crises of technogenic civilization as ecological and anthropological, problems of “transhumanism”, the concept of “inorganic body of civilization”, universals of civilizational and cultural development, the article reflects modern philosophical knowledge, rethinking the concept of “nature — man — society — individual” from the point of view of the anthroposocioecological approach. The main part of the article formulates the prerequisites and essence of the anthroposocioecological approach in the context of modern challenges and examines the philosophical and ethical component of the anthroposocioecological approach. At the same time, the authors single out the anthroposocioetic component, placing in the center an ethical problem that goes beyond the boundaries of ethics proper as a philosophical science, and which in modern knowledge falls into a broad ideological field and practice-oriented actions. The essence of the anthroposocioecological approach in modern philosophy is characterized by ideological and ethical universals, including universal life values. The relevance of the anthroposocioecological approach is due to the significance of such a supreme macroethical universal as human dignity, starting from the virtue of feeling one’s own subjective psychologically experienced dignity to the conscious recognition of state-national and universal dignity in the new multipolar world order. In the light of the latest innovations in computer technology, the authors pay attention to the problems of power, responsibility and dignity in a multipolar world, which, according to the authors, are associated with an anthroposocioecological philosophical and prognostic approach, given the powerful technological progress and the “clash” of technogenic and traditionalist civilizations. The authors express the hope that an anthroposocioecological philosophical approach based on value universals in the future will take place in the analysis of Russian, Asian and European positive experience in the formation of a new type of intercultural interaction. Among the practical goals of the anthroposocioecological approach, it is important to cooperate at different levels of corporations, global communities based on ideological and ethical universals. At the end of the article, it is argued that the anthroposocioecological approach, due to a new stage of civilizational development, rethinking human dignity in a multipolar world, is an urgent problem in modern philosophical anthropology and philosophy of civilizational processes.

Smart sensor implant technology in total knee arthroplasty

Innovations in computer technology and implant design have paved the way for the development of smart instruments and intelligent implants in trauma and orthopaedics to improve patient-related functional outcomes. Sensor technology uses embedded devices that detect physical, chemical and biological signals and provide a way for these signals to be measured and recorded. Sensor technology applications have been introduced in various fields of medicine in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diseases. Intelligent ‘Smart’ implants are devices that can provide diagnostic capabilities along with therapeutic benefits. In trauma and orthopaedics, applications of sensors is increasing because of the advances in microchip technologies for implant devices and research designs. It offers real-time monitoring from the signals transmitted by the embedded sensors and thus provides early management solutions. Smart orthopaedic implants have applications in total knee arthroplasty, hip arthroplasty, spine surgery, fracture healing, early detection of infection and implant loosening. Here we have explored the role of Smart sensor implant technology in total knee arthroplasty. Smart sensor assisted can be used intraoperatively to provide objective assessment of ligament and soft tissue balancing whilst maintaining the sagittal and coronal alignment to achieve desired kinematic targets following total knee arthroplasty. It can also provide post-implantation data to monitor implant performance in natural conditions and patient's clinical recovery during rehabilitation. The use of Smart Sensor implant technology in total knee arthroplasty appears to provide superior patient satisfaction rates and improved functional outcomes.

Construction and Application of Materials Knowledge Graph Based on Author Disambiguation: Revisiting the Evolution of LiFePO4

AbstractDue to the recent innovations in computer technology, the emerging field of materials informatics has now become a catalyst for a revolution of the research paradigm in materials science. Knowledge graphs, which provide support for knowledge management, are able to collectively capture the scientific knowledge from the vast collection of research articles and accomplish the automatic recognition of the relationships between entities. In this work, a materials knowledge graph, named MatKG, is constructed, which establishes a unique correspondence between subjects and objects in the materials science area. An emphasis is placed on the disambiguation of authors, addressed by a deduplication model based on machine learning and matching dependencies algorithms. Specifically, MatKG is applied to perform tracking on research trends in the study of LiFePO4 and to automatically chronicle the milestones achieved so far. It is believed that MatKG can serve as a versatile research platform for amalgamating and refining the scientific knowledge of materials in a variety of subfields and intersectional domains.

Assessment of Heavy Metal Contents of End-Of-Life Computer Monitor Cathode Tubes and Plastic Casings

Development and innovation in computer technology have led to the generation of large quantities of end-of-life computing equipment with the attendant challenge of environmentally sound management, especially in developing countries. This study evaluated the heavy metal contents of the cathode ray tube (CRT) and the plastic casing of thirty (30) end-of-life computer monitors of different brands, years of manufacture (spanning 1981-2005) and countries of manufacture. The specimens were analysed for Pb, Cu, Cr, Zn, Cd, and Ni using atomic absorption spectrophotometer after acid digestion. The mean concentrations of metals in the CRTs varied widely: 1400-14300 mg/kg for Pb; 291-1750 mg/kg for Zn; <0.1-129 mg/kg for Cu; <0.1-15 mg/kg for Ni; <0.1-16.3 mg/kg for Cr, and <0.1-4.0 mg/kg for Cd. The Pb concentrations of all the CRT samples, with mean 5120±3000 mg/kg (range: 1400- 14300 mg/kg), exceeded the 1000 mg/kg Pb limit in the EU Directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and the Total Threshold Limit Concentrations (TTLC) used by the USA Department of Toxic Substances and Control (DTSC), for characterizing waste as hazardous. For the plastic casings, the Cu and Cd concentrations in 10 % and 20 % of the samples respectively, exceeded the TTLC. The results of this study show that the CRTs are hazardous waste requiring environmentally sound management and the crude methods of management in Nigeria which include disposal at open dumpsites and surface water, as well as recycling using crude techniques are highly dangerous, exposing man and the ecosystem to toxins.

The productivity paradox: A meta-analysis

The impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on economic performance has been the subject of academic research for several decades, and despite the remarkable and significant innovation in computer technology, usage, and investments, only a small growth in productivity has been observed. This observations has been coined the productivity paradox. This paper uses meta-analytical methods to examine publication bias and the size of ICT elasticity. The empirical part is based on a collection of more than 800 estimates of ICT payoff effects from more than 70 studies written in the last 20 years. The meta-analysis reveals a strong presence of publication bias within the ICT productivity literature and, using a mixed effect multilevel model, estimates the ICT elasticity to be only 0.3%, which is more than ten times smaller than what was reported by a previous meta-analysis from 10 years ago.

From chalkboard, slides, and paper to e-learning: How computing technologies have transformed anatomical sciences education.

Until the late-twentieth century, primary anatomical sciences education was relatively unenhanced by advanced technology and dependent on the mainstays of printed textbooks, chalkboard- and photographic projection-based classroom lectures, and cadaver dissection laboratories. But over the past three decades, diffusion of innovations in computer technology transformed the practices of anatomical education and research, along with other aspects of work and daily life. Increasing adoption of first-generation personal computers (PCs) in the 1980s paved the way for the first practical educational applications, and visionary anatomists foresaw the usefulness of computers for teaching. While early computers lacked high-resolution graphics capabilities and interactive user interfaces, applications with video discs demonstrated the practicality of programming digital multimedia linking descriptive text with anatomical imaging. Desktop publishing established that computers could be used for producing enhanced lecture notes, and commercial presentation software made it possible to give lectures using anatomical and medical imaging, as well as animations. Concurrently, computer processing supported the deployment of medical imaging modalities, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound, that were subsequently integrated into anatomy instruction. Following its public birth in the mid-1990s, the World Wide Web became the ubiquitous multimedia networking technology underlying the conduct of contemporary education and research. Digital video, structural simulations, and mobile devices have been more recently applied to education. Progressive implementation of computer-based learning methods interacted with waves of ongoing curricular change, and such technologies have been deemed crucial for continuing medical education reforms, providing new challenges and opportunities for anatomical sciences educators.

Research on the Cloud Computing Storage Privacy Preserving Based on MB-Tree Dynamic Access Model

Cloud computing is the most anticipated revolution in the computer field. It has the ability to distribute the resource dynamically. According to the needs of the client service, with the lowest cost to solve the computer information processing, it creates hope for the computer technology innovation. But cloud computing has certain vulnerabilities for privacy in the network environment. Because the resource is allocated dynamically, privacy information is easy to be stolen. This paper improves MB-Tree model, gives the ability of protecting customer privacy information dynamically, and establishes the mathematical model and algorithm of dynamic MB-Tree. In order to verify the algorithm, finally we verify the algorithm of MB-Tree model, in which dynamic protection effect of privacy information with different time is up to 98%, protection effect of different data is up to 96%. The privacy information of cloud computing is got better protecting effect.

전산구조해석을 위한 기하학적 비선형 유한요소해석 예제 개발

An undergraduate course named computational structural analysis becomes more significant in recent years because of its important role in industries and the recent innovation in computer technology. Typically, the course consists of introduction to finite element method, utilization of general purpose finite element software, and examples focusing on static and linear analyses on various structural members such as a beam, truss, frame, arch, and cable. However, in addition to the static and linear analyses, current industries ask graduates to acquire basic knowledge on structural dynamics and nonlinear analysis, which are not listed in the conventional syllabus of the computational structural analysis. Therefore, this study develops geometrically nonlinear examples, which can help students to easily capture the fundamental nonlinear theory, software manipulation, and problem solving skills. For the purpose, five different examples are found, developed for the analyses of cables and cable nets, which naturally have strong geometrical non-linearity. In the paper, these examples are presented, discussed, and finally compared for a better subject development.

Application of data mining on partial discharge part I: predictive modelling classification

Innovations in computer technology have made possible continuous on-line monitoring of partial discharge (PD) activities. The power industry aims to assess the condition of power system equipment through on-line monitoring of PD activities. This involves long-term continuous data recording and it is very difficult to extract useful information from such a large amount of raw data, particularly if it is done manually. Instead, data mining can be applied in solving this problem. Data mining can be categorized into predictive modelling and descriptive modelling. In this paper, work was mainly focused on predictive data mining, which is classification of PD. The back propagation neural network (BPN), self-organizing map (SOM) and support vector machine (SVM) were used for classification and compared. Results indicate SVM is the best method in terms of classification accuracy and processing speed.

Effectiveness of a Computer-Mediated Simulations Program in School Biology on Pupils' Learning Outcomes in Cell Theory

Biology knowledge and understanding is important not only for the conversion of the loftiest dreams into reality for a better life of individuals but also for preparing secondary pupils for such fields as agriculture, medicine, biotechnology, and genetic engineering. But a recent study has revealed that many aspects of school science (biology included) pose problems of understanding for pupils, simply because of the teaching methods used and the lack of adequate instructional resources. Nevertheless, a program was designed to incorporate the use of computer technology innovation called the computer-mediated simulations (CMS) program to enhance pupils' learning outcomes in school biology. The study was carried out in a real biology classroom setting. It involved comparisons between the treatment and control groups. A Solomon-Three Group quasi-experimental design was employed to involve three secondary schools situated along Njoro-Mau Narok and Elburgon-Molo roads in Nakuru district that were purposively sampled on the basis of easy accessibility and the availability of IBM compatible computers. A total of 102 pupils enrolled in three intact classes were exposed to the same content on cell division for a period of 3 weeks. Three dependent measures—the Biology Achievement Test (BAT), the Biology Classroom Environment Questionnaire (BCEQ), and the Pupil Attitude Questionnaire (PAQ)—were used to assess the effectiveness of the program on the pupils' academic achievement in cell theory, their perception of the classroom environment, and attitudes towards the biology course on cell theory. The findings of the study affirmed the impact of the CMS program on the pupils' learning outcomes in that the mean gains of the participants in the treatment groups were significantly higher than that of their counterparts in the regular program. Also, the results indicated that the mean differences between the experimental group and the true control group were statistically significant in favor of the treatment group. The findings also showed no relationship between the participants' gender and their learning outcomes. The study concludes that the use of the CMS program to augment conventional biology teaching has major implications for secondary biology instruction in this area.

Postwar Trends, Land-Cover Changes, and Patterns of Suburban Development: The Case of Greater Seattle

A primary objective of this research is to enhance our understanding of the dynamic and complex patterns of suburban growth and to explore the spatial characteristics of land-use distribution during the last few decades of metropolitan expansion. Traditionally, studies of distribution of activities within metropolitan regions have been carried out on vastly aggregated spatial units of analysis based on census geography. Recent innovations in computer technology and software developoment in the field of geographic information systems have allowed much more comprehensive, high-level resolution studies to be undertaken. The study, presented in this paper, is an attempt to develop a fine-grained inspection of the evolution of suburban growth patterns through a detailed documentation of land-use-cover changes in the suburban periphery of Seattle.

Computer Education in Emergency Medicine Residency Programs

Objective - To determine if and how recent innovations in computer technology have affected the access and usage of computers by emergency medicine residents. To evaluate the status of resident computer training as compared to a previous survey reported and as outlined in the Core Curriculum. Methods - Questionnaires were mailed to the 113 residency program directors listed in the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) home page. Topics queried included current availability of computers, the existence of computer education programs, the status of Internet related activities as well as resident exposure to and actual usage of computers. Results - The response rate was 65% (73/113). The average resident to computer ratio is 6.5:1. While 100% of the programs have computers available for resident use, only 48% offer any kind of formal computer education and only 41% indicate they have an assigned computer educator. Most programs offer some kind of access to the Internet (79%). Software availability is as follows: wordprocessing (100%), spreadsheets (99%), graphics (96%), literature search programs (96%), databases (88%), statistics (86%), communications (85%) and Internet/commercial network (77%). Resident exposure and usage roughly parallels the availability of software. Conclusion - Computer knowledge in today’s world is a necessity whether one practices medicine as a clinician, researcher, educator, or administrator. Although computers are available for resident use in virtually all programs surveyed, less than half offer formal computer education as recommended by the Core Curriculum. Formal recommendations need to be developed regarding the design and implementation of a computer education program . Keywords - Computer Literacy, Medical Education, Curriculum Development

Virtual reality hysteroscopy

New interactive computer technologies are having a significant influence on medical education, training, and practice. The newest innovation in computer technology, virtual reality, allows an individual to be immersed in a dynamic computer-generated, three-dimensional environment and can provide realistic simulations of surgical procedures. A new virtual reality hysteroscope passes through a sensing device that synchronizes movements with a three-dimensional model of a uterus. Force feedback is incorporated into this model, so the user actually experiences the collision of an instrument against the uterine wall or the sensation of the resistance or drag of a resectoscope as it cuts through a myoma in a virtual environment. A variety of intrauterine pathologies and procedures are simulated, including hyperplasia, cancer, resection of a uterine septum, polyp, or myoma, and endometrial ablation. This technology will be incorporated into comprehensive training programs that will objectively assess hand-eye coordination and procedural skills. It is possible that by incorporating virtual reality into hysteroscopic training programs, a decrease in the learning curve and the number of complications presently associated with the procedures may be realized. Prospective studies are required to assess these potential benefits.

Multimedia presentation development using the Audio Visual Connection

This paper describes the technology behind the creation of multimedia presentations using a new IBM program product, the Audio Visual Connection® (AVC™). The multimedia approach represents a major innovation in computer technology involving new concepts such as the digitization of audio and video, the involvement of the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), and the creation of a multimedia story. Two hardware adapters support the AVC: the Audio Capture and Playback Adapter and the Video Capture Adapter. When used with these adapters, the AVC digitizes both stereo audio and color video, performs powerful edit and synchronization functions, defines an interactive user environment, and creates a multimedia presentation using standard IBM Personal System/2® hardware. Additional input is available from MIDI song files, screen capture, and non-AVC image systems. Final results range from passive presentations to interactive applications to sophisticated database front ends.
