Muslim Bank as a Historical Category: Creating Credit Institutions for Muslims In the First Half of the 20 ^th Century by R. I. Bekkin

“…The article emphasizes that Muslim banks in their activities relied on the theological and legal conclusions (fatwas) of Islamic scholars who considered such activities legitimate and not falling under the Quranic concept of usury.The author adheres to the point of view that the creation of an independent state or nationalterritorial / national-cultural autonomy of Muslims was a natural result of the struggle of the Muslim bourgeoisie with competitors for the markets for goods and services in a number of countries and regions, considering both Muslim and Islamic banks only as a certain stage in the development of banking in a number of countries in Asia, Africa and Europe.The article disputes the idea that both Islamic banks and the Islamic economic model as a whole are monolithic structures that cannot be modified. According to the author, the very creation of Islamic banks, as well as their convergence with conventional (non-Islamic) credit institutions, which we observe today, is a natural result of a change in the economic interests of the ruling class both in the countries of the spread of Islam and in the Western world.The article examines the history of the creation of Muslim banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in British India. …”

Ameliorative Effect of Hovenia dulcis Fruit Pedicel Polysaccharides on Alcohol-Induced Intestinal Injury in Mice Investigated Using 16S rRNA Sequencing and Metabolomics by ZHANG Yuchao, ZHU Sijie, LIU Liangyu, WANG Jianyun, ZHANG Jiaxin, SU Zexiong, CHEN Jiangyan, LIU Xudong

“…The results indicated that HDPs significantly reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory factors such as interleukin-4 (IL-4), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in mice with intestinal injury induced by alcohol, decreased the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), increased the level of α-amylase (AMS), and upregulated the tight junction protein Claudin 1, thereby improving intestinal barrier function. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that compared to mice gavaged with alcohol at 114 µL/20 g mb, HDPs increased the abundance of the Lactobacillus genus and reduced alcohol exposure-induced disorders in gut microbiota diversity and structure. Metabolomics analysis found that HDPs could regulate bile acid metabolism and reduce the levels of bile acids (especially taurocholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid) in the intestine of alcohol-exposed mice. …”

Effect of Mining Thickness on Overburden Movement and Underground Pressure Characteristics for Extrathick Coal Seam by Sublevel Caving with High Bottom Cutting Height by Yongkang Yang, Yanrong Ma, Chunxu Ji, Tianhe Kang, Xingyun Guo

“…Some conclusions can be drawn as follows: (i) under the “beam-hinged cantilever beam rocks” structure theory, the rock pillar thickness which needs to be controlled increases linearly as a function of mining thickness is achieved, and the reason of increased of support resistance in full-mechanized caving mining in extremely thick seams is explained in the theory; (ii) based on the results of the theoretical analysis and the lab simulation tests, the law of the abutment pressure peak is inverse to the full-seam mining thickness, and the distance between abutment peak and working face is proportional to the full-seam mining thickness, that is to say that the damage range of overlying strata increased; (iii) there are three working states of loading support in extrathick coal seams, such as normal circumstance, lower main roof pressure, and higher main roof pressure, meanwhile these states keep changing; (iv) under the guarantee of stope safety conditions, due to lower support strength, it will benefit the special thick seam top-coal caving under normal circumstance; (v) increasing the supporting strength can balance the impact loading under the lower main roof pressure, guaranteeing valid support for roof strata; (vi) by releasing high pressure, due to lower production, lower recovery rate of coal and other measures guarantee the stability of the stope support in the case of the higher main roof pressure.…”
