Impact of Asymmetric Information in Islamic Financial contract: An Empirical Analysis

European Journal of Islamic Finance, 2019
A primary source of asymmetric information arises from banks’ uncertainty about borrowers’ Creditworthiness. This can generate two types of barriers to efficient credit allocation in the loan market: ad-verse selection in the likelihood of repayment ...

Determinants of Food Inflation in Pakistan: Empirical Evidences

Proceedings, 2020
Today food inflation is a rising issue. The world food problem is getting more complicated as the world population is increasing more rapidly than food production. Pakistan being a developing country is a victim of higher food prices.

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Photoactive Monolayer MoS2 for Spiking Neural Networks Enabled Machine Vision Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) optoelectronic devices are implemented as Leaky Integrate‐and‐Fire (LIF) neurons in spiking neural networks (SNNs), where light‐induced photocurrent dynamics represent potentiation (τd) and depression (τd), emulating neuronal membrane potential.

Melatonin Modulates Glucose Metabolism Reprogramming via Targeting G6PD to Alleviate Lead‐Induced Hepatocytes Pyroptosis in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that Lead reprograms glucose metabolism to enhance H3K18la, driving DRP1‐dependent mitochondrial DNA leakage and cGAS‐STING‐mediated pyroptosis. Melatonin targets G6PD to suppress glycolysis‐driven H3K18la and restore mitochondrial homeostasis, thereby alleviating Lead‐induced liver injury in common carp through disruption of the ...

Regulating a NaF‐Rich SEI Layer for Dendrite‐Free Sodium Metal Batteries Using Trifunctional Halogenated Covalent Organic Framework Separators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel halogenated covalent organic framework (COF‐F) engineered into a polypropylene (PP) separator (COF‐F@PP) for high‐performance sodium metal batteries is reported. The COF‐F@PP separator features trifunctional synergy: i) ordered nanochannels for rapid Na⁺ conduction with reduced solvation effects, ii) in situ release of F⁻ ions to enable a NaF ...

RUNX1/SLAMF3 Axis Drives Immunosuppression to Contribute to Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis by Blocking Phagocytosis and Depleting C1QC+ Tumor‐Associated Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the RUNX1/SLAMF3 axis as a key driver of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). SLAMF3 suppresses macrophage phagocytosis and depletes C1QC⁺ tumor‐associated macrophages, promoting an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Targeting this axis restores macrophage and CD8⁺ T cell activity and reduces metastasis.
