Abstract: Islamic banks must comply with the Shari'ah rulings fully as it is the foundation of Islamic banks. However, the level of Shari'ah compliance is not the same among the Islamic banks. Similarly, despite performing well, the financial performances of Islamic banks differ from each other. Therefore, the chapter explores the association between financial performance and Shari'ah compliance. The chapter used both the primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through surveying 300 bank executives from six full-fledged Islamic banks operated in Bangladesh with a structured questionnaire on Shari'ah compliance, whereas information on financial performance were extracted from the annual reports of the s le banks. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to analyze the data and conclude the findings. The findings show that Shari'ah compliance has a positive and significant impact on the financial performance with respect to the total liabilities and total assets.

Abstract: In preparation for mitotic cell ision, the nuclear DNA of human cells is compacted into in idualized, X-shaped chromosomes 1 . This metamorphosis is driven mainly by the combined action of condensins and topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) 2,3 , and has been observed using microscopy for over a century. Nevertheless, very little is known about the structural organization of a mitotic chromosome. Here we introduce a workflow to interrogate the organization of human chromosomes based on optical trapping and manipulation. This allows high-resolution force measurements and fluorescence visualization of native metaphase chromosomes to be conducted under tightly controlled experimental conditions. We have used this method to extensively characterize chromosome mechanics and structure. Notably, we find that under increasing mechanical load, chromosomes exhibit nonlinear stiffening behaviour, distinct from that predicted by classical polymer models 4 . To explain this anomalous stiffening, we introduce a hierarchical worm-like chain model that describes the chromosome as a heterogeneous assembly of nonlinear worm-like chains. Moreover, through inducible degradation of TOP2A 5 specifically in mitosis, we provide evidence that TOP2A has a role in the preservation of chromosome compaction. The methods described here open the door to a wide array of investigations into the structure and dynamics of both normal and disease-associated chromosomes.

Abstract: Developing countries have been facing more challenges to sustainability than the developed countries. This chapter evaluates the current sustainable education practices among the universities in Bangladesh and proposes a revised multi-level framework to enhance sustainability education practices among the universities. Based on the opinion of the staff and students of the top 10 public and private universities (according to the University Grant Commission report 2018) in Bangladesh, the study found evidence of the inclusion of sustainability issues onto the faculty's mission and vision statements, but very few are incorporated into the program curricula. In addition, dearth of sustainability training to the teachers provokes their failure of providing education for sustainable development. Considering the findings, this chapter proposes the importance and role of regulatory authorities teachers, students, professionals, and corporate people enhancing sustainable education practices at the university level.

Abstract: This study examined the use and effectiveness of corporate sustainability practices (CSP) and the subsequent effect on a strategic outcome, competitive advantage. The new institutional sociology (NIS) theoretical framework was applied, informed by three different dimensions of institutional pressures (coercive, mimetic and normative). The study used a survey method and developed a seven‐dimensional model utilising the 52 principles provided by the OECD. It used a structural equation modelling in order to test the hypothesised associations between institutional pressures, CSP and competitive advantage to provide an institutional and contextualised perspectives from an emerging economy setting. The study found significant associations between the three types of institutional pressure with specific dimensions of CSP. The findings further revealed that specific CSP dimensions are ersely (positively and negatively) associated with competitive advantage. In line with the tenets of greenwashing, it highlighted the important role of institutional pressures from stakeholders (government, policy and customers) in implementing specific CSP. The findings inform managers, governments, foreign investors and other stakeholders in emerging economies about the influence of the institutional pressure in promoting the use of CSP and the effect of such practices on competitive advantage. From the context of an emerging economy, the study provides a unique empirical insight into the NIS perspective in promoting CSP and the subsequent impact on the strategic outcome, competitive advantage.
