stock option fraud prevention in Islamic Country does corporate governance matter
Social Science Research Network, 2012Co-Authors: Tariq Hassaneen Ismail, Zakia Alaa M AbdelmoneimAbstract:This paper aims to investigate the extent to which companies in one of the Islamic culture countries, Egypt, are complying with the Islamic implementation of the Anglo-Saxon Model of corporate governance and testing the impact, if any, of such compliance on mitigating of stock option fraud incentives. A logistic regression model is used to examine the effects of board of directors, audit committee, ownership structure and other firm characteristics on the likelihood of stock option fraud. The analysis is based on the data for stock option grants obtained during the period from 2006 to 2009.The results suggest that the rate of compliance with the Islamic implementation of the Anglo-Saxon Model of corporate governance in Egyptian public-held companies is low. Weak corporate governance allows executives to exercise greater influence over the board of directors and audit committee decisions. Furthermore, a low level of disclosure, duality of CEO, high percentage of insiders in board of director, auditor turnover, and management ownership are among the factors that increase the likelihood of stock option fraud in the Egyptian setting. This paper provides insights into exposing stock option fraud by Egyptian public-held companies and sheds light on the effective role of corporate governance mechanisms to mitigate this phenomenon. This would help policy setters to enhance compliance with the Anglo-Saxon Model of corporate governance and develop a comprehensive Shari’ah Model of corporate governance that reduces stock option fraud.

p03 445 suicide risk awareness in pakistan influence of religious cultural legal socio economic and interpersonal factors
European Psychiatry, 2011Co-Authors: R Faruqui, S AfghanAbstract:Introduction Pakistan is an Islamic Country where religion is considered an important protective factor against suicide. Recent research and media reports identify that suicide and self harm behaviours are increasing in different parts of Pakistan. Objectives To inform public policy debate and suicide awareness education interventions. Aims To study socio-cultural, political, interpersonal and religious factors that can influence suicide and suicide awareness. Methods Systematic search of Medline, Embase, PsychInfo, CINAHL, Pakmedinet, TRIP, and electronic searches of Pakistani Medical Journals, using terms Suicide, Self harm, Deliberate Self Harm, Self Poisoning, Non-Accidental Deaths, Undetermined Deaths. Focus Group Discussion, Aga Khan Medical University, Pakistan Consultation with experts in the field. Results a. Epidemiological evidence confirms an increase in suicide rates with variable figures reported from different parts of Pakistan. Higher rates of suicide rates are reported for men with an association with unemployment and mental health problems. Marital Discord and domestic violence identified as risk factors in female suicides. b. Religion is continued to be identified as an important protective factor against suicide. However, Pakistan's legal system that criminalizes suicide and self harm is criticized for exercising negative influence through preventing early identification of high risk individuals. A variable pattern of suicide reported from different parts of Pakistan identifies the need for deep cultural understanding and examination of protective and risk factors that operate with in family structures and sub-cultures in Pakistan. Conclusions An increase in suicide rates in Pakistan has raised mental health and public policy awareness.

suicidal continuum ideation planning attempting in an Islamic Country which should be focused on
Journal of Injury and Violence Research, 2021Co-Authors: Mohamad Khajedaluee, Majid Khademrezaiyan, Lida Jarahi, Hoda Khatibimoghadam, Afsaneh FaridpakAbstract:Background: The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of suicidal ideation (SI), suicidal plan (SP), and suicide attempt (SA) in patients who had survived suicide attempts. Methods: In a one-year cross-sectional design in Khorasan Razavi province, all suicide attempters who were referred to urban and rural health care centers, hospital’s emergency rooms and agreed to participate in the study were included. The previous twelve-month SI, SP and lifelong SA (prior to the current suicide attempt) were obtained. Results: The mean age of 856 included individuals was 24.2±8.3 years. The majority (652,76.4%) were females. Half of them were first-time suicide attempters. The mean age of first SI was 22±7.7; SP 22±7.9; and SA 22.2±8 years. The twelve-month prevalence of SI and SP prior to the current suicide attempt was 30% and 26.7%, respectively. Males, unlettered, wedded, and employees were significantly older at their first time SI, SP, and SA (all p less than 0.001). SI (25,44.6%), SP(25,47.2%) and SA(34,75.6%) were more prevalent in widow/divorced individuals(all p-values less than 0.02). SI (OR=53.4,CI95%=33.6-85) increased the risk of SP, and SP(OR=6.7,CI95%=4.5-9.9) increased the risk of SA. Conclusion: SI seems to be a more important predictor of suicide compared to SP, however, the fact that a significant number of attempters had not any previous detectable suicidal ideation or plan, indicates particular clinical considerations. We need to have some presuppositions about the factors leading to unplanned and unthoughtful suicide attempts.
