Electoral stability has been viewed as an essential condition for the healthy functioning of representative democracy. However, there is little agreement in the literature about what shapes the stability of the electorate in general nor much attention paid to that of the Asian electorates in particular. We propose historical legacies, uniquely testable in Asia, as central determinants, but also test for conventional factors examined in other regions. By analyzing more than 150 elections in 19 post-WWII Asian democracies, we find that certain types of authoritarian (military or personalist) and colonial (non-British) legacies have a detrimental impact on the stabilization of the electorate, while some of the findings from other regions apply also to Asia. Our additional finding that such effects of historical legacies, particularly authoritarian interludes, are attenuated and cease to be significant with sufficient maturation of democracy, has important implications for the way party systems develop and democracies consolidate.

<p>Familial dyskeratotic comedones(FDC) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by numerous comedones with dyskeratosis in histology. We report a case of 43-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter presenting with extensive diffuse comedones on the face, trunk and proximal extremities. Mild slate-grey pigmentation of face in the mother was an additional finding. Skin biopsy showed crateriform invagination with parakeratotic lamellae filled with keratinous material in the epidermis but no dyskeratosis or acantholysis. The case resembles FDC as described earlier. However, certain features like presence of hyperpigmentation and minimal hyperkeratotic papules, and absence of dyskeratosis or acantholysis may suggest that diffuse familial comedones exist as a different genodermatosis.</p>

This article examines the nafkah iddah of divorce lawsuit in the Islamic Law Compilation (KHI) Article 149 (b) and the verdict issued by the Supreme Court Number 137/K/AG/2007. It also analyses their legal basis based on the Jasser Auda’s maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approach concerning the preservation of life and treasure. The primariy objective of this article is to find the main differences between the KHI and the Verdict in determining the nafkah iddah of divorce suit. Although some scholars have concerned about the case of nafkah iddah, the Jasser Auda’s maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approach seems to be rare to be dealt with the case. Accordingly, the maqāṣidi approach will be mainly utilised in order to consider the effectiveness of both the KHI and the Verdict. This article finds that the KHI states that a wife who applies for a divorce is considered disloyal. As a consequence, she is undeserving of receiving nafkah iddah. The additional finding is that the Verdict decides that in the case of the divorce filled by the ex-wife, it brings a responsibility for the former husband to pay the nafkah iddah. From the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah, this article argues that the implementation of the Verdict gains better benefit rather than the KHI, because the legal basis evolved for the nafkah iddah of divorce suit is in line with the maqāṣid principles of the preservation of life and property. In the particular case, the principles tend to protect the ex-wife’s safety and welfare after the divorce.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of firms’ dividend policy, measured by dividend yield, using a sample of firms that belong to the Euronext 100 index for a period between 2007 and 2016. We used OLS regression with the dividend yield as the dependent variable and a number of explanatory variables at the firm level. Results show that the dividend yield in this paper is not associated with firms’ profitability, although both higher growth expectations by investors and larger size of firms negatively influence firms’ dividend yield. We found some evidence that leverage is indirectly related to more dividends. An important additional finding of this paper is that the level of leverage shapes dividend yields differently in the presence of stable payouts and stable dividends per share. Furthermore, the dividend yield reflects a positive valuation of investors if the growth in dividends is linked to the growth in earnings for firms with higher growth expectations, as a policy of a stable payout appears to be viewed by investors as not jeopardizing future growth. As dividend policy is a key part of Finance research, our study contributes to the theory twofold. First, by focusing on a specific niche not developed by literature, and second by examining the indirect effects of the traditional determinants of dividend policy.

AbstractIdiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation (IEMP) is a distinct clinicopathologic entity of which less cases have been reported in the literature. We report here a case of a 16-year-old boy who had completely asymptomatic brownish-colored lesions distributed over the trunk, back, and upper limbs since 4 months, and histopathologic findings showed features consistent with diagnosis of IEMP with one additional finding having papillomatosis with moderate acanthosis. We are reporting this case with additional clinical finding that is accentuated skin markings similar to acanthosis on dermoscopy, which aid in clinical diagnosis of this less reported entity. This helps avoidance of unnecessary treatment for this self-resolving state.
