The fascinating development and point of discussion in recent years is the rapid growth and expansion of the Islamic financial services industry. It is no longer rhetoric as Islamic finance has been accepted as viable and competitive mode of financial intermediation that offers wide range of financial products and services to meet the highly differentiated demands of the new economy; not only in Muslim countries but also beyond the Muslim world. Against these rapid revolution of Islamic financial industry globally and in Jordan particularly, human capital has become the defining factor in sustaining the performance and competitiveness of Islamic financial industry. Thus it is crucial to place strong focus on human capital development in embarking Islamic financial services encompassing the basic foundation namely; education. A prerequisite requirement for highly talented and skilled labor force is essential to maximize the opportunities presented by the evolving economic environment in the future. The objective of this study is to determine the issues faced by practitioners that initiate the need to undertake training and development courses as well as to identify the type of training required by current practitioners that affect performance. The main findings of the study can be more comprehensive and representative if more respondents from several banks that practices Islamic finance can be involved in validating the issue that is realizable for future study
الاقتصاد السلوكي وعلاقته بالشمول المالي من منظور إسلامي
الأهداف: يهدف البحث إلى بيان مفهوم الاقتصاد السلوكي وعلاقته بالشمول المالي من منظور إسلامي. يعتبر الاقتصاد السلوكي من المواضيع الحديثة التي لم يتم تناولها من قبل الباحثين بشكل واسع وخصوصاً في البيئة المالية، فما زال هناك ندرة خبراء في هذا المجال؛ ولا زال الافتراض بعقلانية المستهلكين والعملاء قائم. كما ويهدف البحث لدراسة الإشكاليات الموجهة للاقتصاد السلوكي، وأبرز فروقه عن الاقتصاد التقليدي.

المنهجية: استخدم البحث مسلك الاستدلال الوصفي من خلال مناقشة الأفكار والمفاهيم ذات الصلة، وتحليلها في ضوء معطيات النظرية الاقتصادية، إضافة إلى استعراض المفاهيم الاجتماعية والنفسية التي تقوم عليها فرضيات الاقتصاد السلوكي بوجه عام، وذلك من أجل الوصول للأهداف المرجوة، وإثبات العلاقة بين الاقتصاد السلوكي والشمول المالي من منظور إسلامي.
النتائج: انتهى البحث إلى أنه يمكن من خلال أحكام الشريعة الإسلامية تطبيق منهج الاقتصاد السلوكي في الشمول المالي الإسلامي، وذلك من خلال عدة وكزات يمكن أن تشجع وتحفز العملاء لاتخاذ القرارات المثلى؛ لأن نظرية الوكز بينت أن سلوك العملاء يمكن أن يتأثر بالاقتراحات الصغيرة والتعزيزات الإيجابية. وتمثلت أبرز الإشكاليات الموجهة للاقتصاد السلوكي في احتمالية عدم الجدوى لاستخدام الوكزات الصغيرة في السياسات العامة، وبنفس فعالية أدوات الاقتصاد التقليدي مثل زيادة الضرائب لضبط السلوك غير العقلاني.

Bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture: a case report and literature review
Bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture is a rare condition characterized by the simultaneous tear of the fibrous tissue connecting the quadriceps muscle to the patella bone. Prompt diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment and optimal outcomes. We present a case of a 70-year-old male with bilateral knee pain and an inability to walk, resulting from a trivial fall. Despite initial misdiagnosis, a thorough evaluation, including physical examination and imaging, revealed bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture. Surgical repair was performed, followed by a comprehensive rehabilitation program. At the four-month follow-up, the patient showed significant improvement in pain and function. This article provides a comprehensive review of the existing literature on bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture, emphasizing the challenges in the diagnosis and management of this rare condition. Early diagnosis, prompt surgical intervention, and a tailored rehabilitation program are crucial for successful outcomes

Anterior versus posterior approach to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy, clinical and radiological results with long period of follow-up
Background: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy increases with age, but not all cases are symptomatic. It is usually diagnosed clinically and radiologically (X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging). Surgical treatment is indicated in severe symptomatic cases, while treatment controversy exists in the presence of less severe cases. Anterior and posterior approaches are generally used for decompression with no significant differences in the results of both. Methods: A total of 287 patients of cervical spondylotic myelopathy were treated at our hospital between January 2004 and December 2015. Only 140 patients were eligible for our study. They had at least 5 years of follow-up using full clinical scores and radiological evaluation. They were divided into two groups: group I with 73 patients (aged 23–79 years) underwent posterior decompression, lateral mass instrumentation, and fusion, while group II with 67 patients (aged 33–70 years) underwent anterior decompression, instrumentation, and fusion. Neck Disability Index, local score, and X-ray were used in the evaluation of the patients. Results: Preoperative mean ± standard deviation of Neck Disability Index of both the groups was 32.06 ± 6.33 and 29.88 ± 5.48, which improved in the last visit (>5 years) to 5.81 ± 7.39 and 2.94 ± 5.48 for groups I and II, respectively (p value <0.05). The local score of groups I and II was (P = 1, F = 21, G = 31, E = 19) and (P = 1, F = 12, G = 36, E = 18), which on discharge day improved to (P = 1, F = 4, G = 12, E = 55) and (P = 0, F = 3, G = 6, E = 58) at last follow-up, respectively. Fusion rate was nearly equal for both the groups during all the follow-up intervals and it was 91.1% and 91.7% in the last follow-up. Conclusion: There were no significant differences in the clinical and radiological results between the anterior and posterior approaches used in the surgical treatment of spondylotic cervical myelopathy. However, statistically significant results of Neck Disability Index of anterior approach were not clinically important and may be due to changes in the size and shape of the neck in group II
