Securities Crowdfunding as a Source of Capital and Alternative Investment in the Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah Perspective: Indonesian Case
Authors: Azwar Azwar , Jamaluddin Jamaluddin
Published: November 2024

This research aims to describe the implementation of Securities Crowdfunding (SSC) in Indonesia from the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah. A descriptive-qualitative method is employed using library research and content analysis techniques. The results show that the implementation of SSC in Indonesia is in line with and has a meeting point with the values of the Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah concept, especially in the context of safeguarding religion, soul, mind, lineage, and property. In the context of religious protection (ḥifẓ al-dīn), the implementation of the SSC, which is based on the DSN-MUI fatwa based on the Qur'an, Hadith, and other Islamic laws, becomes the legitimization of Islamic religious values and norms so that the entire Muslim community can maintain the purity and experience of their religion in economic transactions. In the context of protecting the soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs), the implementation of SSC, which refers to the DSN-MUI fatwa and principles, provides peace of mind for the perpetrators because they have avoided deviant practices. In the context of safeguarding reasons (ḥifẓ al- ‘aql), SSC operators are required to have adequate knowledge and competence, both in financial and aspects. In the context of safeguarding assets (ḥifẓ al-māl), the implementation of SSC does not contain elements of usury, maysir (gambling), garār (fraud), and mudarat (negative effects) so that assets are kept safe and halal. Meanwhile, in the context of safeguarding descendants (ḥifẓ al-nasl), the conformity of transactions with principles in SSC will determine the halalness of the assets obtained so that they have a positive impact on the family and descendants who are supported by the results of the business.

The concept of prophetic leadership, rooted in the exemplary moral principles of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), has gained increasing attention in the context of business management, particularly among Muslim entrepreneurs. This study delves into the reflections of Muslim small and medium enterprise (SME) entrepreneurs on the practice of prophetic leadership within the strategic management processes of their companies. Prophetic leadership is characterized by four key values: siddiq (truthfulness), amanah (trustworthiness), fathonah (intelligence), and tabligh (communication). Through a qualitative research approach, this study conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with seven Muslim SME entrepreneurs in Malaysia. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis facilitated by Atlas.ti software version 8.0. The analysis revealed four major themes that reflect the integration of prophetic leadership principles in the strategic management practices of these entrepreneurs. The findings provide valuable insights for future research and offer guidelines for policymakers aiming to enhance the entrepreneurial performance of Muslim SMEs, contributing to the realization of a Madani nation.

Malaysia has become a country where most of the population is Muslim and has contributed to a significant role to halal matters. As a country with many races, ethnicities and religions, Malaysia does not prevent non-Muslim from working in any sector in a manufacturing company that holds halal certification either in production, administration, or operation. In fact, lack of information and knowledge capacity on halal requirements is also considered as one of the most challenges part in implementing halal management system. This study aims to determine the understanding level of non-Muslim production workers on the halal standards and requirements; and to investigate the challenges faced in implementing daily practices in the production area. The data was collected using interviews and analysed by thematic analysis using NVivo. A total of five informants were selected by a combination of purposive sampling and snowball sampling technique among the non-Muslim production workers. The result shows that the non-Muslim production workers understood halal standards and requirements despite their limited knowledge. They also claimed that they faced no challenges while working in a halal manufacturing company. Hence, the significant of this study provides information to enhance customers' trust, provides a better insight to the understanding of the non-Muslim production workers for the industry players.
Engaging with Second Chances: How Familiarity, Stigma, and Media Exposure Shape Public Attitudes towards Ex-Prisoner-Focused Social Enterprises
Authors: Ismail Ida Rosnita
Published: November 2024

Social enterprises provide an effective method for tackling various social problems, including ex-prisoners in the domains of rehabilitation, reintegration, and the reduction of repeat offenses. While this business model is prevalent in other countries, it remains uncommon in Malaysia. This study aims to uncover the issue from the public perspective. Specifically, the objective of this study is to investigate the effects of familiarity with social enterprise models, stigmatization, and incidental news exposure on public attitudes towards ex-prisoner-focused social enterprise. Underpinned by Mere Exposure Effect Theory, Social Identity Theory, and Media Framing Theory, five hypotheses were developed and tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling on 139 cases. Results showed that familiarity with social enterprise models, stigmatization, and incidental news exposure significantly predict attitudes towards ex-prisoner-focused social enterprise. However, the moderation role of familiarity with social enterprise models was not supported for the relationship between incidental news exposure and attitudes towards ex-prisoner-focused social enterprise, and when it interacts with stigmatization. These findings contribute to the understanding of how media exposure, social stigmatization, and personal familiarity shape public perceptions of social enterprises that focus on ex-prisoner rehabilitation. The study highlights the need for targeted strategies to reduce stigmatization and leverage incidental media exposure to foster more supportive attitudes towards social enterprises that assist ex-prisoners.

Published: November 2024

In robotic systems, the required torque to control manipulator joints is essential for precise motion and stability. Computed Torque Control (CTC) is a widely recognized method used to achieve accurate trajectory tracking in robotic manipulators, enabling them to follow desired paths with precision. However, despite its strengths, CTC is highly dependent on exact knowledge of the robot’s dynamic model and, as a result, is vulnerable to uncertainties such as parameter variations, unmodeled dynamics, and external disturbances. These limitations can compromise performance and make CTC less reliable in practical applications where real-world conditions introduce unexpected variables. To address these challenges, this paper presents an advanced approach to trajectory tracking that enhances CTC by integrating velocity observer techniques. This combination offers a robust control framework that adapts to disturbances, thereby improving the reliability and overall performance of robotic manipulators under uncertain conditions. The efficacy of the proposed approach is illustrated through simulations conducted on a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) robotic manipulator, demonstrating its ability to maintain accuracy and resilience in complex operational environments.

Published: November 2024

Integrating electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) into the energy distribution network presents significant challenges. A wide range of work has been carried out to understand this possible impact and, in particular, to assess the loading capacity of distribution networks, with or without network management solutions. A high concentration of EVs can increase peak demand, leading to higher energy losses, voltage drops, etc., which can reduce the efficiency and reliability of power distribution. This article focuses on the impact of integrating EVCS into the power distribution network and the deployment of distributed generation (DG) to mitigate these challenges.In this study, the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and moth-flame optimization (MFO) are adopted to select the optimal size and location of distributed generation on the distribution network in the case of EVCS integration to reduce energy losses and improve the voltage profile. Analysis is carried out on the  IEEE 33 bus distribution network.
A novel TCT-GWO-Based MPPT strategy for enhancing output power under partial shading conditions
Authors: Ameur Narimane Ben , Kessal Abdelhalim , Chebabhi Ali , Loukriz Abdelouadoud
Published: November 2024

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are key contributors to renewable energy, yet their efficiency can be severely affected by partial shading conditions. These conditions introduce multiple peaks in the power-voltage (P-V) curve, complicating the task of conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms, which often fail to accurately locate the global maximum power point (GMPP). In recent years, metaheuristic approaches such as the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm have been applied to enhance MPPT performance. Despite their advantages, traditional Series-Parallel (SP) configurations are prone to local maxima, limiting their overall effectiveness in complex shading scenarios. This paper introduces an innovative control strategy that dynamically reconfigures the PV array between Series-Parallel (SP) and Total Cross-Tied (TCT) configurations based on real-time shading conditions. By adapting the PV array configuration and utilizing an optimized GWO algorithm, the proposed approach simplifies the P-V curve, facilitating more rapid and accurate convergence to the GMPP. The GWO algorithm was further optimized to enhance its search efficiency, reducing the risk of local maxima entrapment. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed TCT-GWO configuration significantly improves both power output and convergence time in comparison to the SP-GWO configuration. In one case, the TCT-GWO approach increased power output by 37.3% over the SP-GWO configuration. These findings underscore the potential of dynamic PV array reconfiguration combined with metaheuristic optimization for improving the performance of PV systems under partial shading. This method offers a viable and effective solution for real-world PV applications, particularly in environments with frequent shading.

Published: November 2024

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the performance of a cascaded doubly fed induction generator (CDFIG) that is integrated with a matrix converter (MC) while operating at various speeds and while connected to the grid. The operating efficiency and stability of the CDFIG system under a variety of load scenarios are the primary factors that are investigated in this study. The MC is able to promote seamless energy conversion by utilizing the control methodologies that have been proposed, which ultimately improves the overall performance of the system. For the purpose of achieving the desired level of power delivery to the grid, the control performance will be improved via the utilization of a matrix converter (MC). Additionally, the system's reliability and efficiency will be improved through the utilization of the benefits that the CDFIG has in comparison to the DFIG. Results of the simulation show that there are considerable gains in power quality and fault tolerance, which highlights the potential of this arrangement for applications involving renewable energy, particularly in systems that generate fluctuating wind power.

Published: November 2024

The contribution of this study is to examine the potential of using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) as a replacement for natural aggregates (NA) in the production of roller-compacted concrete (RCC). In several countries, recycling old asphalt pavements has gained interest due to its economic and environmental advantages. However, in Algeria, large quantities of RAP are generated annually, yet they are rarely quantified or reused. This research investigates the use of RAP as coarse aggregates, testing five different replacement levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). The properties of fresh concrete, such as density, were measured, along with the impact of curing temperatures (20°C, 40°C, and 60°C) on the hardened properties, including compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. The results reveal that it is possible to produce RCC with up to 50% RAP, providing significant environmental benefits by reducing waste and preserving natural resources. These studies confirm that using up to 50% RAP in RCC is both feasible and environmentally beneficial, while maintaining good concrete performance. As part of the study, an accurate numerical model simulating the mechanical behavior of RCC, including time-dependent deformations and the non-linear stress-strain relationship, was created using finite element analysis in ANSYS-FEM. The purpose of this model is to highlight how RCC with RAP can be used in pavement applications.
Bayesian approach in the nonparametric conditional density estimation
Authors: El-hayet Ladaouri Nour , Cherfaoui Mouloud
Published: November 2024

In the literature, it is well known that in kernel density estimation, plug-in and cross-validation techniques, for the selection of the smoothing parameter, tend to provide under-or over-smoothed estimators when the sample size is small or medium, or the function to be estimated is complex. To overcome this latest problem, recently, the Bayesian approach has been proposed as an alternative to these classical methods. In this paper, we restricted attention to extending the idea of the Bayes rule to estimate the smoothing parameter of the conditional density kernel estimation. We are interested in the impact of the use of the global Bayesian approach for the smoothing parameter selection on the performance (the average of the Integrated Squared Error (ISE) and the calculation time required for their implementation) of the kernel conditional density estimator compared to the classical method trough a Monté Carlo simulation. Moreover, based on simulated samples of different sizes from two different conditional models, we adopted the Bayesian approach compared with the classical smoothing parameter selection procedure (the cross-validation method), using the Gaussian kernel to construct the estimators in question.
Investigation of the adsorption process of methylene blue on diatomite from a kinetic and thermodynamic perspective
Authors: Reguig Mokhtaria , Ouazani Fouzia
Published: November 2024

The adsorption of methylene blue on diatomite has been studied. Kinetics, thermodynamics and adsorption isotherms were used to identify retention mechanisms. The experiments, carried out in batch mode, for the determination of the kinetics, were carried out after adjustment of the parameters influencing the system, such as the pH, the temperature, the mass of adsorbent. The adsorption process of methylene blue onto diatomite is effectively represented by the Langmuir model, which indicates an adsorption capacity of roughly 166.66 mg/g. This is confirmed by the fact that the correlation coefficient exceeds that obtained with the Freundlich model; furthermore, the separation factor indicates that this adsorption is favorable. The results obtained were modeled according to the kinetic equations of the pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, as well as that related to intraparticle diffusion. The experimental results of the global reaction are perfectly tunable to the pseudo-second order, with very large regression coefficients. Thermodynamics and adsorption isotherms predict the passage of a spontaneous endothermic surface reaction.

A anemia normocítica normocrômica foi a mais frequente (50,51%), e as principais causas identificadas foram doenças infecto-parasitárias (47,42%), com erlichiose, parvovirose e babesiose como as mais prevalentes. Os dados revelam que a anemia em cães na região está fortemente relacionada a doenças infecciosas, refletindo questões socioeconômicas e sanitárias. A alta prevalência de cães jovens sugere que a exposição a ambientes inadequados pode facilitar a propagação de doenças. A resposta hematológica dos cães anêmicos indicou uma correlação entre a severidade da anemia e suas causas, sendo as anemias leves e moderadas associadas a condições secundárias. Este estudo destaca a importância de identificar as causas da anemia em cães, principalmente as doenças infecciosas, como erlichiose. Sugere-se a implementação de ações educativas para reduzir a incidência de anemia na região.

Cardiomyopathy is a group of diseases involving the heart muscle, mainly manifested by the abnormality of the structure and function of the heart muscle. According to etiology and pathological characteristics, cardiomyopathy can be divided into various types, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). These different types of cardiomyopathy differ significantly in clinical presentation, pathophysiological mechanisms, and treatment strategies, so accurately differentiating the different phenotypes of cardiomyopathy is critical to developing a personalized treatment plan. However, traditional diagnostic methods such as electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and genetic testing, while able to provide useful information to a certain extent, still have limitations in complex cases and can lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. In order to overcome the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods and improve the ability of accurate diagnosis of different phenotypes of cardiomyopathy, this study developed a cardiomyopathy phenotypic differential diagnosis system based on multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) technology. We integrate patient data from multiple centers, including clinical data, electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiograms, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and genomic data, standardized and pre-processed. Through machine learning and deep learning algorithms, multimodal AI models are constructed and trained using large-scale training data sets. The accuracy and stability of the model in the differentiation of different cardiomyopathy phenotypes were verified on an independent data set, and the model parameters were optimized according to the verification results to improve the generalization ability and clinical applicability of the model.
