Abstract: This paper examined and compared the Islamic banks’ time series rates of return to depositors, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month, and 12-month as well as the rate of return on Islamic Bank's Mudharabah saving and with the conventional banks’ similar ... ...

Abstract	This paper examined and compared the Islamic banks’ time series rates of return to depositors, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month, and 12-month as well as the rate of return on Islamic Bank's Mudharabah saving and with the conventional banks’ similar time series deposit interest rates during 2001-2015. Non-cointegration of monthly and quarterly series of deposit interest rates, established by Johansen Cointegration test, led to the VAR Granger causality test which showed unidirectional causality running from the conventional banks’ deposit interest rates to the Islamic banks’ rate of returns. The establishment of cointegration for the conventional bank and the Islamic bank series of 6-month, 9-month, and 12-month as well as saving deposit rates series by Johansen Cointegration test led to the VEC model which establishes the short term dynamics and the stability of long run equilibrium between the rates of return of Islamic banks and interest rates of the conventional banks. The Vector Error correction results showed the speed of convergence varied from 18 percent to 24 percent. The results of the VEC Granger causality /Wald test (F-test) found unidirectional causality i.e. the direction causality running from conventional banks’ interest rate to the Islamic bank’s rate of return in all series, 6-month, 9-month, 12-month, and the saving deposit.

Abstract	This paper, first, obtained three categories of efficiencies, overall bias-corrected technical efficiency (OTEBC), bias-corrected pure technical efficiency (PTEBC) and bias-corrected scale efficiency (SE) of the Islamic banks of the Gulf Cooperating Countries (GCC) during 2014-216 using the bootstrap Data envelopment Analysis(DEA). Second, decomposing the overall bias-corrected technical efficiency (OTEBC) the paper found the bias-corrected pure technical efficiency (PTEBC) and the bias-corrected scale efficiency (SE) were 91 percent and 59.8 percent respectively and thus PTEBC dominated the OTBBC (82.4 percent) and the SE (59.8 percent) of the GCC Islamic banks. Third, the paper found the sources of the inefficiency of the Islamic banks of the GCC was the DRS. Except the Islamic banks of Qatar, banks of the GCC countries were inefficient either because they operated under the IRS or DRS. DRS was the major source of inefficiency. Qatar Islamic banks demonstrated the highest level of efficiency in all three efficiency among GCC. The paper provides suggestions for future study.

Abstract	Nowadays, the re-use and recycling of industrial wastes to reduce the environmental impact and landfill problems are the main concerns of researchers. Plastics are one of the main waste materials worldwide, with considerable impacts on health and environmental conditions. Recycling plastic wastes in the concrete industry is one of the adopted ways to reduce such impact and increase the economic recyclability of plastics. In this study, the utilization of recycled polypropylene (rPP) as a fine aggregate in the preparation of cement mortars was evaluated. The river sand was replaced with 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%, volumes of rPP. The results showed that the inclusion of rPP reduced the mortar's workability and fresh density. Fresh density dropped from 11% to 35% as the rPP content increased. Furthermore, the compressive strength at early and late age was significantly influenced by the rPP content. At 28 days of curing age, the results showed that the inclusion of 50% of rPP in the mortar matrix led to a drop in the compression strength from 40 MPa to 10 MPa. A similar trend of results was obtained for the flexural (from 8.3 MPa to 2.9 MPa) and tensile strengths (from 3.4 MPa to 1.21 MPa). The chloride ion penetration went through a maximum of 5000 Coulombs between 10% and 50 % of rPP. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of 10% of rPP as a river sand replacement can achieve acceptable strength (25 MPa) for several applications in the construction industry.

Abstract	Objective: To explore trimodality treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy as an alternative approach to neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy, for the treatment of non-metastatic muscle invasive bladder carcinoma. Study Design: Retrospective observational study. Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi Pakistan, from 2006 and 2015. Methodology: A total of 122 patients were evaluated in a retrospective manner. Primary endpoint was overall survival. Patients received four courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy with Cisplatin as radiation sensitizer. Result: 5-year overall survival was 80 (66%) in this population and a complete response following completion of treatment was seen in 93 (76.3%) patients. Subset analysis showed markedly increased 5-year overall survival of around 104 (85%) in patients having complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusion: The study concludes that bladder preservation is an acceptable alternative to radical cystectomy in selected population especially among those who had a complete response to the initial four courses of chemotherapy.

Abstract	A global review of veterinary medical education (VME) programmes shows that, of 194 countries, 111 (57%) have 597 veterinary medical academic institutions (VMAIs) with 15 different names, which offer veterinary degrees with 54 different titles. The highest number of universities (n = 148; 25%), in 27 (14%) countries, award a veterinary medical degree (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine [DVM]), followed by the science degree (Bachelor of Veterinary Science [BVSc]) awarded by 28 (5%) universities in 9 (5%) countries. In addition to three original Universities of Veterinary Medicine, 23 veterinary-related universities have been established with titles such as 'Veterinary, Animal and Fishery Sciences', which do not reflect the VME programmes. The award of Bachelor of Science (BSc) degrees in Animal Husbandry (AH), Poultry Science and Dairy Technology created confusion and increased competition with veterinary graduates for positions in the dairy and poultry industries. Some countries, including Japan and Australia, have changed from the British single degree system to the American dual degree system. The American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education has classified the 597 VMAIs into 'accredited' (n = 49; 8.2%), 'listed' (n = 468; 78.4%) and 'unlisted' (n = 80; 13.4%) categories. The diversity of nomenclature of VMAIs, degrees, curricula and training status of veterinary graduates may affect the globalisation of VME according to the 'One Health' concept. Veterinary medical professionals and international organisations must think creatively about the future of global VME, especially with regard to the standardisation of the nomenclature of institutions, degrees, professional associations and core curricula, to contribute effectively to biomedical sciences and One Health at the national and global levels.

Abstract	Background: In adults aged 30-70 with primary and moderate hyperlipidemia, the present study took place to investigate the therapeutic benefits of a polyherbal unani preparation called Garlitab. Methods: It was a prospective open label, herbal coded test drug-controlled, randomized trial. Out of total screened patients we were enrolled 212 hyperlipidemic patients of 30–70 years in the study fulfilling the inclusion criteria, we were recruited them from OPD of a hospital in Munshiganj and different Unani clinics of Dhaka, Bangladesh after obtaining written informed consent from the patients. Selected individuals were allocated into two groups at random. Group1 Received 500 mg Garlitab tablets twice daily and Group 2 received tablet atorvastatin calcium 10 mg 2 times daily. Height, weight, and blood pressure were recorded along with blood samples. The random distributions were carried out by a research assistant utilizing a random numbers table. Blood samples were taken at the beginning of the trial, 1.5 months later, and 3 months following the intervention. Results: Results for the test medication revealed a substantial drop in cholesterol levels between baseline and the data collected after three months and in case of male it was from 241.72±38.11 to 218.24±34.06 mg/dL for total cholesterol, from 198.27±30.57 to 173.54±29.34 mg/dL for LDL and from 280.78±85.81 to 207.07±51.40 mg/dL for triglyceride. HDL increases from 33.05±3.21 to 34.69±3.13 mg/dL in male patients. The control drug atorvastatin calcium also showed a significant decrease in lipids between baseline and after 3 months data and in case of male it was from 241.92±31.54 to 174.90±22.87 mg/dL for total cholesterol, from 196.20±30.91 to 130.30±24.29 mg/dL for LDL and from 279.48±115.35 to 141.27±59.55 mg/dL for triglyceride. It increases HDL from 32.00±2.25 to 34.03±2.19 mg/dL in male patients. Between the baseline and the 3-month data, the test medicine for females significantly reduced total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides and it was from ...

Abstract	Background: There are several clinical studies examining the health advantages of several single medicinal herbs utilized in traditional blood glucose-lowering treatments. But very few or no studies on herbal formulations were made as Polyherbal for the same goal. As a result, it is now necessary to confirm that patients with hyperglycemia can benefit from such Polyherbal medicines as Dolabi. Methods: This prospective open-label, herbal coded test drug-controlled, randomized trial was conducted at the Munshiganj and Dhaka area in Bangladesh. We enrolled 108 male and 104 female patients of 30-70 years with primary and moderate hyperglycemia. They were recruited from the OPD of an Unani & Ayurvedic hospital in Munshiganj and different Unani clinics in Dhaka, Bangladesh after fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Patients were randomly assigned to receive metformin hydrochloride 500 mg two times daily and 2 tablets of Dolabi two times daily by using a random numbers table with the help of an assistant. Blood samples, height, weight, blood pressure, and personal data were recorded—laboratory results were obtained at the study baseline, after 1.5 months and after 3 months of intervention. Results: In the case of the test drug, results showed a significant decrease in blood glucose level between the baseline and after 3 months, in males, it was from 9.83±1.17 to 7.72±1.06 mg/dL for fasting glucose, from 16.60±2.35 to 8.23±1.17 mg/dL for 2 hours PP glucose, from 9.33±1.17 to 7.45±2.03 percent for HbA1c and for Insulin it reduces from 183.10±27.59 to 168.10±29.59 pmol/ L. The control drug metformin hydrochloride also showed a significant decrease in blood glucose level between baseline and after 3 months, in the case of males it was from 9.99±2.52 to 6.97±1.76 mg/dL for fasting glucose, from 17.43±5.05 to 7.89±2.42 mg/dL for 2 hours PP glucose, from 10.43±2.36 to 6.87±1.18 percent for HbA1c and for Insulin it reduces from 198.75±30.61 to 183.75±30.61p mol/L. In the case of females the test drug showed a significant ...

Abstract	Research on path loss in indoor stairwells for 5G networks is currently insufficient. However, the study of path loss in indoor staircases is essential for managing network traffic quality under typical and emergency conditions and for localization purpose. This study investigated radio propagation on a staircase where a wall separated the stairs from free space. A horn and an omnidirectional antenna were used to determine path loss. The measured path loss evaluated the close-in-free-space reference distance, alpha-beta model, close-in-free-space reference distance with frequency weighting, and alpha-beta-gamma model. These four models exhibited good compatibility with the measured average path loss. However, comparing the path loss distributions of the projected models revealed that the alpha-beta model exhibited 1.29 dB and 6.48 dB for respectively, at 3.7 GHz and 28 GHz bands. Furthermore, the path loss standard deviations obtained in this study were smaller than those reported in previous studies.
