This research aims to account, analyse and compare the level ofIslamic commercial bank\u27s health using CAMELS method mentioned in PBI No.9/1/PBI/2007 and SEBI No 9/24/DPbS/2007 and using multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) altman z-score method. There are only four of six factors that used in CAMELS: capital, asset, earning and liquidity excluding Management and Sensitivity of Market Risk factor. The variables of capital factors are KPMM and ECR ratio. Asset factor consist of KAP and NPF ratio. Earning factor contains four ratios, such as NOM, ROA, ROE and REODOI: 10.15408/aiq.v5i2.256

A method to isolate the CTD of RNA Polymerase II for proteomics analysis

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)In an effort to advance the methodology in analyzing RNAPII protein-protein interaction network and to determine the role of the CTD in controlling RNAPII transcription, we devised a method to specifically isolate the CTD-associated and CTD-less RNAPII to identify the proteins that interact with both the CTD and the globular core of RNAPII using novel purification scheme coupled to quantitative proteomics

One , Two and Multi-Component Gompertz Stress- strength Reliability Estimation

The reliability function for a component which has strength independently exposed three stresses ; , two component parallel which are subjected to a common stress; , and for a multi-component;  using Gompertz distribution with unknown location and known shape parameters, are parameter derived from a stress- strength models. Estimate the reliability ,  and  by three methods MLE, LSE and WLSE) and also in the numerical simulation study a comparison between the three estimates by  MES  is introduced.

Globalisation effects on networks in the GCC : exploring entrepreneurial networks in Kuwait

Although this paper’s focus is women business networks in the Gulf state of Kuwait, it locates the discussion in the broad field of globalisation studies, which can usefully be defined as the flow of trade, capital and people across frontiers, facilitated by different kinds of infrastructure, as well as forms of interconnectedness. As globalisation is increasing the dependency on economic actors and policy makers in a world of rapidly growing businesses that are reshaping the global arena, it is believed that scarcity of networks and lack of direct access to resources, information and support are barriers that many business encounter and women entrepreneurs face them more acutely. An important form of interconnectedness lies within the formation of networks of all types, where global, regional and local business networks have become hubs for entrepreneurs, particularly in Kuwait. Networks are rapidly growing in Kuwait, some are initiated in order to increase financial abilities of women and an example of that is Alghalia women network which was established in 2010 and membership is for women and by invitation only. Its mission is to create financial awareness amongst women in Kuwaiti society. Another is ‘Proud to be Kuwaiti’, a women and men entrepreneurial network, as well as Kuwait economic society female business network and other emergent networks. Yet, in spite of the growth in number of such networks, women entrepreneurs still face barriers. This research focuses on women entrepreneurs networking within local business networks. It uncovers various characteristics of networks, and through qualitative analysis, the reasons behind joining networks, barriers encountered and benefits gained. It does this through in-depth interaction with sixteen women entrepreneurs who are members of major networks. The research examines motivations behind women who join networks, the barriers women entrepreneurs face while networking, as well as benefits gained through different business stages

Sexperts! Disrupting injustice with digital community-led HIV prevention and legal rights education in Thailand

In addition to growing epidemics of HIV among men that have sex with men (MSM) and transgenders in Thailand, a low awareness of how to access justice increases their vulnerability. This paper presents unique case studies of how two community-based and led organisations used social networking and instant messaging to address this problem. It describes and analyses how online peer-based HIV education and prevention was integrated with access to justice through free university-based clinical legal education (CLE). It argues that re-designing HIV prevention and education through digital technologies with marginalised gay men, other men that have sex with men (MSM) and transgenders is a sustainable community-based and led approach. Furthermore digital media offer strategic opportunities to overcome on-going political violence alongside entrenched stigma and discrimination that disrupt denial of access to justice for populations disproportionately at risk of HIV

Sexperts! Disrupting injustice through HIV prevention and legal rights education with transgenders in Thailand

In addition to a growing epidemic of HIV among transgenders in Thailand, a low awareness of how to access justice increases their vulnerability to HIV infection. This paper presents a unique case study of how one community-based and led organisation used social networking and instant messaging to address this problem among the transgender community in Thailand. It describes and analyses how online peer-based health counseling integrated HIV education and prevention alongside access to justice through free university-based clinical legal education (CLE). It argues that a community-based approach that integrates HIV prevention and education and access to justice within a wider sexual health programme, through digital technologies, is a sustainable approach for other populations disproportionately at risk of HIV. Furthermore digital media offer strategic opportunities to overcome on-going political violence alongside entrenched stigma and discrimination that disrupt denial of access to justice

Frechet Cascade Stress-Strength System Reliability

In this paper it has been discussed the reliability of n- cascade system when the stress and strength are Frechet distributed random variables. The n-Cascade system is a standby redundancy system, where the standby component taking the place of failed component with decreased value of stress and independently distributed strength. Cascade reliability model is a special type of Stress- Strength model. For n=2,3,4 as Marginal Reliabilities, The values of Marginal Reliabilities used to find the system Reliabilities R2 , R3 and R4 of Cascade model, which studied for this model in different cases for the parameters of this distribution according to the Cascade variables. These cases are 12 special cases and the values of R2 , R3 and R4 are discussed for each of these cases. Keywords : Frechet Distribution, Stress-Strength Cascade Model, Reliability for Cascade Model

On the ubiquity of molecular anions in the dense interstellar medium

Results are presented from a survey for molecular anions in seven nearby Galactic star-forming cores and molecular clouds. The hydrocarbon anion C6H- is detected in all seven target sources, including four sources where no anions have been previously detected: L1172, L1389, L1495B and TMC-1C. The C6H-/C6H column density ratio is greater than about 1.0% in every source, with a mean value of 3.0% (and standard deviation 0.92%). Combined with previous detections, our results show that anions are ubiquitous in dense clouds wherever C6H is present. The C6H-/C6H ratio is found to show a positive correlation with molecular hydrogen number density, and with the apparent age of the cloud. We also report the first detection of C4H- in TMC-1 (at 4.8-sigma confidence), and derive an anion-to-neutral ratio C4H-/C4H = (1.2 +- 0.4) x 10^-5 (= 0.0012 +- 0.0004%). Such a low value compared with C6H- highlights the need for a revised radiative electron attachment rate for C4H. Chemical model calculations show that the observed C4H- could be produced as a result of reactions of oxygen atoms with C5H- and C6H-
