Authors: Sauid Muna Kameelah , Hasan Zuhairah , Sauid Zulaika
Published: November 2023

Businesses today are placing greater emphasis on sustainability and environmental concerns. More and more firms are making sustainability their top priority to stay ahead of their competitors. Since we now operate in a knowledge-based economy, intangible assets have emerged as an essential measure for evaluating a company's competitive advantage. Academics developed the notion of green intellectual capital (GIC) to encourage firms to care more about their environmental impact. In this conceptual paper, we aim to investigate the relationship between Green Intellectual Capital and the sustainability of a business. The goal of this study was to present a literature review on the impact of Green Human Capital (GHC), Green Structural Capital (GSC), and Green Relational Capital (GRC) on business sustainability. Despite the growing importance of GIC research in developing countries, scholars have devoted little attention to the subject, particularly in the Malaysian context. The findings indicate that all three concepts of Green Intellectual capital positively influence the sustainability performance of businesses.

Authors: Ebrahim Zarina Begum , Ismail Irzan , Kassim Erne Suzila
Published: November 2023

The increasing prevalence of digitalization, competitive markets, quick environmental changes, and the imperative of organizational sustainability have necessitated business organizations to adopt innovative practices. Hence, all organizations must foster a culture of innovative work behavior among their employees to ensure the organization's ongoing survival and advancement. Nonetheless, comprehensive studies that methodically scrutinize the different factors affecting IWB within a unified theoretical model are insufficient. This research is a literature review to find and analyze factors that influence innovative work behavior. The findings of the literature review or existing research indicate that psychological empowerment, employee engagement, self-efficacy, knowledge sharing, perceived organizational support, climate for innovation, HRM practices, and transformational leadership have consistently demonstrated strong associations with employee IWB in various studies. This study additionally proposes a novel conceptual framework that examines the interplay between psychological empowerment, employee engagement, self-efficacy, knowledge sharing, perceived organizational support, climate for innovation, HRM practices and transformational leadership, with a specific focus on their impact on IWB. This framework holds potential for future investigations conducted by other scholars.

The focal point of the examination included investigating the achievement factors among women entrepreneurs in the province of Malaysia. This paper explored to what degree a few factors, entrepreneurship education management, customer orientation and marketing orientation can clarify its commitment towards turning out to be effective women entrepreneurship visionary. Women entrepreneurs have been progressively mainstreamed into advancement forms, and by assuming an assortment of jobs at the family, network and society levels, they have had the option to add to national improvement and thriving. Reflecting dynamically expanded political will, progressive Malaysian advancement plans have put a more prominent accentuation on mainstreaming women entrepreneurs in national improvement through certifiable multi-sectoral approaches and projects. Gender orientation as an advancement center was first referenced in the Third Malaysia Plan (1976–1980), which supported the dynamic interest of women entrepreneurs being developed and their commitment to the economy. The job of Women entrepreneurs in neediness destruction was given acknowledgment under the Fifth Malaysia Plan when social projects to elevate the state of women were supplanted by monetary projects. The results show that the regression analysis on entrepreneurship education management, customer orientation and market strategy affect the sustainability of SMEs. Numerous studies have been undertaken to evaluate the effects of various elements on women's entrepreneurial success, but our study looked into several entrepreneurship education management, customer orientation and market strategy factors towards women's entrepreneurship sustainability that have largely gone unexplored, particularly in Malaysia. The current study further adds to the previous literature by providing empirical evidence.

Published: November 2023

Sustainability has existed since the day it was originated by the Brundtland Commission in the year of 1987. The term sustainability has been vaguely defined and it creates different interpretations. In line with today’s economic situation, organizations increasingly perceive sustainability as an opportunity for them to gain a competitive advantage. In the current era, most of the powerful brands aspire to achieve the same social goal; hence business leaders and marketers are now facing a problem in maintaining its social sustainability. Most studies investigate social sustainability goals from the perspective of business operations. Results from the field study involving 420 customers from six (6) premier shopping malls across Kuala Lumpur demonstrated evidence for construct validity and reliability based on the multiple regression analysis, the result of the study of this study shows that only the Branded House strategy and Halal strategy were proven to have significant relationship with social sustainability. In terms of testing the hypotheses involving the moderating roles of the relationship between independent variable and dependent variable, 2 out of 4 hypotheses were supported in which brand visibility moderates the relationship between Halal branding and social sustainability, whereas brand visibility moderates the relationship between stand-alone strategy and social sustainability The implications of this research are, the organization needs to consider corporate dominant strategy and Halal strategy to ensure long-term business operation and this research also provides additional insight on social sustainability model by investigating the branding strategies namely corporate dominant, brand dominant, mixed branding and Halal branding.

Authors: Ahmad Wahida , Amran Nur Hazimah
Published: November 2023

Banks and liquidity risk are synonymous with each other due to inevitable asset-liability mismatches derived from deposit and lending activities. The study aims to investigate this issue by highlighting a new insight into the non-linear function between profitability and liquidity risk. With the aspiration to include both Islamic and conventional banks from nine Asia-Pacific countries, this study involves the unbalanced panel data of a 10-year period that covers from 2011 to 2020. The final sample ends with 285 banks and 2,116 observations. The study employs a quadratic random effect model with clusters adjusted errors comprised of five interest predictors namely profitability, credit risk, bank capital, income diversification and bank size. The findings discover profitability, bank capital, income diversification, size and economic condition play vital roles in managing banks liquidity. The findings reveal the existence of moral hazard for larger and highly capitalized banks with greater exposure to liquidity risk. High-margin banks are also prone to maintain lower liquidity levels, thus exposed to greater risk. Banks are advocated to elevate higher earnings and maintain adequate levels of capital and assets with the caution of moral hazard issues. Therefore, the regulatory body in each country is proposed to intervene and monitor especially the higher margin banks to lessen the moral hazard issue.

Published: November 2023

Zakat distribution has a positive correlation with its collection. Thus, a higher collection of zakat will positively impact the distribution amount and reach a bigger pool of zakat recipients. However, some external constraints in its collection could likely have an adverse impact on its collection, especially the effect of the macroeconomic factors. It becomes crucial when the increase in the price of gold (one of the primary commodities used as a nisab benchmark for zakat in Islam) is claimed to negatively influence the collection and allocation of zakat to the respective recipients. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether the high and low value of nisab due to the fluctuating price of gold in the world market could negatively influence the zakat collection and indirectly affect all the recipients, especially the poor and needy. In achieving this aim, this study will utilize a structured self-administered questionnaire to study the awareness of Muslims on the nisab of zakat and its influence on their zakat payments. It is still relatively rare to find any research on the awareness of the nisab of zakat and its relation to the zakat contribution. One past econometric study concluded that a higher nisab leads to a lower zakat collection. The findings of this proposed study could complement that previous study and hence be justifiable due to its significant impact on the recipients of zakat (asnaf) as the main stakeholders.

Published: November 2023

Coronavirus disease 2019 cases are showing a downward trend in Malaysia but with active cases still present, the virus remains a persistent public health threat. Amid vaccination at no cost, some of the populace is refusing to get vaccinated. As getting indigenous communities vaccinated are much more difficult due to contextual and cultural difference, this study investigated whether tribal leader endorsement moderates the relationship between attitude and intention towards vaccination. Drawing from a survey of 312 indigenous from various generations of Millennials, Generation X and Generation Z, this study found that endorsement of tribal leaders does not act as a moderating factor in the association between attitude and intention to accept vaccination across generations. This study contributes to understanding whether indigenous communities require cultural-based approaches to support vaccination uptake. This study would be beneficial in supporting initiatives to curb COVID-19 disease and the right to good health among indigenous communities.

Published: November 2023

Islamic SRI has shown a flourishing expansion over the last three decades. This demonstrates that there will be a significant opportunity to enhance the Islamic SRI in the Islamic Finance sector.  Islamic SRI is a type of investment that facilitates the creation of the ecosystem and promotes responsible investing. The study attempts to look at the factors affecting the intention to invest in Islamic SRI.  The theoretical framework is built on the Theories of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). Since the study focuses on the desire to engage in Islamic SRI, the theories are expanded to include three more antecedents: environmental and societal concern, knowledge, and religion. Due to the study’s emphasis on Islamic SRI perspectives, these variables ought to be included. According to the multiple regression analysis, four components, namely attitude, subjective norm and environmental and social factors, were revealed to be positively significant on the intention to invest in Islamic SRI. The study employs quantitative research through an online survey questionnaire. The sampling technique for this study is non-probability sampling by applying the convenience sampling technique. Besides, the targeted population of this study is the potential private investors who reside in the states of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, while the total sample size of the study is 380.

Published: November 2023

Islamic tourism encompasses the exploration of Islamic history, culture, and religion. One form of Islamic travel is mosque tourism, which involves visiting mosques to appreciate their beauty, history, and culture. Mosque tourism can facilitate cultural exchange, economic growth, historical preservation, and promote respect and understanding between civilizations, leading to a higher level of mosque tourism satisfaction. Understanding the historical, aesthetic, architectural, religious, and cultural significance of a mosque, as well as its accessibility and tourist amenities, are essential components of mosque tourism. This type of tourism encourages intercultural harmony by offering individuals from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to comprehend and respect each other's cultures and religious beliefs. Nonetheless, the growing number of Muslim tourists also poses challenges to the travel industry's efforts to promote mosque tourism, which are explored in this comparative study of Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. These nations have made significant efforts to promote mosque tourism.
ANALYSIS OF THE DRIVE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLESWITH ITS DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS
Authors:   Department of motor vehicle transport, Lviv Polytechnic National University, Myskiv Teodozii
Published: November 2023

In the process of car development, its drive is continuously improved. The properties of different types of driving with an internal combustion engine (ICE) are well-studied [1]. ICE's bleak future has forced major automotive manufacturers to turn to electric mobility. The motor, integrated with final drive and differential, is compact and takes up little axle space, making it easier to assemble the drive into one axle or all-wheel drive. Electric vehicles have many advantages over vehicles with ICE: no emissions, high efficiency, quiet and smooth operation, braking energy recovery, simplified maintenance, etc. The functional and fundamental principles of electric vehicles and vehicles with ICE are similar, but there are some features. The characteristic of the electric motor (hereinafter referred to as the motor) is ideal for the drive — it has a large zone of constant maximum power, and the maximum torque appears immediately during starting. The motor, integrated with final drive and differential, is compact and takes up little axle space, making it easier to assemble the drive into one axle or all-wheel drive. Possible drive designs without a differential with two motors and two final drives on the axle, or with low-speed motors without final drives. The heavy battery is placed in the floor, so the stability of the electric car is high. The maximum possible recovery of braking energy is added to all the positive properties of all-wheel drive in the case of an electric car. To reduce the power consumption in the drive, two motors provide a drive mode with only one motor. Among electric vehicles with one-axle drive, front-wheel drive prevails due to using multi-energetic front-wheel drive platforms, stable stability and handling performance and good traction properties in winter conditions. The advantage of rear-wheel drive is the ability to realize greater traction forces during acceleration or movement on the rise due to the dynamic redistribution of the load on the rear axle. However, during braking, due to the dynamic redistribution of the load on the front axle, the possibility of recuperation of braking energy decreases. For a more detailed analysis of the drive, typical electric vehicles are selected, the characteristics of their drive motors are given, traction characteristics are calculated and constructed in the traction force coordinates — speed of movement, the realized adhesion coefficients are determined, and appropriate conclusions have been drawn.

During and after the technological operation of pressing these factors significantly determine the residual stress states of tungsten carbide inserts, as well as in the areas near the holes of the cones’ crowns of the cone. The stressed state of the inserts and the magnitude of the stress concentration determine their fatigue strength of them and the durability of the inserted carbide rock-blasting equipment of the cones in the area where the inserts the cone. Dimensional analysis was done for the inserts and holes in the cones of bit and it was established that size errors of component links of dimensional chains are distributed according to laws that are similar to the normal law of distribution of random variables. The test was carried out according to the criteria of Pearson and Kolmogorov. The influence of various random and systematic factors results to the dispersion of dimensions on the dimensional processing of conjugated surfaces. The amount of tension is a function of the dimensions for mating surfaces during assembly operations. Dispersion of dimensions for the component links of the dimensional chain of a press connection causes the formation of a practical field of dispersion of the closing link. Accuracy control for the closing link in the dimensional chain is impossible if there are no direct measurements of the constituent links. A mathematical model of the process of assembling "cone-tungsten carbide insert" joints was created. For this, the methods of mathematical statistics were applied in the study. It was established that the tension values have a greater influence on the force of pressing inserts into the holes of drill steels 14 NiCrMo1, when its hardness value is HRC 59-60 compared to HRC 48-50. This dependence has a linear character within the limits of the studied tension values. The established relationships make it possible to reasonably and most accurately form selective groups of inserts and mark holes for them. This method significantly reduces losses in the production of drilling tools.

R.O. Winstedt was an orientalist who served in Malaya as a British administrator. His viewpoint is based on the philosophy of logical-empirical positivism, which is an understanding that fully emphasizes the use of common sense as the primary approach to obtaining a scientific fact based on systematic and thorough research methods. This philosophy rejects the proof of a fact using revelation sources because it is considered irrelevant in historical evidence. This article focuses on analyzing Winstedt's views on property inheritance in Malaya by making a comparison between Islamic law and Perpatih Custom. In addition, the observation aims to identify the orientalist's approach to evaluating Islam and the Malay community. The author uses historical, comparative, and content analysis methods to analyze the views. The results of the study found that Winstedt's orientalist approach to evaluating Islam, especially the legal system, showed a dubious point of view and biased judgment. In the issue of property inheritance, Winstedt believes that Islamic law and custom do not work conjointly because in the orientalist view, the Islamic system is not suitable to be practiced in Malaya due to differences in culture and place of residence. This is caused by the orientalists' incomprehension of Islamic law due to their Eurocentrism worldview. This thinking favors the European nation as a great and civilized nation over non-western nations to the point of being called "ambassador of civilization," which is the savior of nations that need to be civilized.

Published: November 2023

The accumulation of plastics in landfills and oceans has encouraged the development of biodegradable plastic products from renewable sources. Natural polymers are excellent candidates that need further modification of their functional and structural properties comparable to conventional plastics. This study aims to fabricate and optimize the formulation of bioplastic films from chitosan and mango kernel starch with glycerol as a plasticizer using response surface methodology (RSM). The chitosan-to-starch mass ratio (1:0.17 to 1:5.83) and glycerol concentration per gram of dry polymer (15.86% to 44.14%) were assigned as the independent variables to design an empirical model that describes the films’ elastic modulus as the sole response. The results yielded an optimal formulation of 1:0.17 chitosan-to-starch mass ratio (2% weight by volume chitosan solution blend) with 15.86% glycerol (per gram of dry chitosan and starch). Reproduction of the optimized film was carried out to validate the empirical model. Characterization of the films’ mechanical and barrier properties, surface morphology, and biodegradability were also investigated in this work. The results suggest that the functional properties of the bioplastic film surpass other chitosan-based bioplastic film blends and can be developed further to become a more sustainable alternative to conventional plastic packaging products.

For successful implantation, a high-quality embryo, receptive endometrium, and tight communication between the two are required. The lack of uterine contractions during embryo transfer is one of the characteristics that greatly affects endometrial receptivity. This is because it has been observed that ET may cause uterine contractions, which may be harmful to embryonic apposition and endometrial blood flow .The aim of this study was to assess how magnesium sulfate administration on the day of embryo transfer improve sub endometrial blood flow, endometrial receptivity, and increase implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate . Eighty infertile women undergoing ART cycles participated in this prospective. Recombinant FSH (Gonal-F) was used in a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation technique. The first group A (n=40) got a 4gm infusion of magnesium sulfate, while the second placebo control group B (n=40) received 200ml of 5% glucose water as a placebo, respectively. While there were no significant changes in body mass index (BMI), endometrial thickness, number of transferred embryos, or embryo transfer day, significant variations were seen in patient mean age (p<0.001) and mean number of grades I embryo (P=0.003). It was significantly different after magnesium sulfate administration with the lowest value in magnesium sulfate group (P=0.024; P <0.001 and P <0.001 respectively). Implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate both increased after drugs administration although it was non- significant (P= 0.106 and P= 0.348 respectively). It appears that magnesium sulfate injection before to embryo transfer can significantly increase sub endometrial vascularity and endometrial receptivity and improving implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate non significantly in ICSI cycles by lowering uterine muscular

For couples with a variety of male factor disorders, intracytoplasmic sperm injection has made pregnancy and motherhood possible. Two hundred-one males who had non-obstructive azoospermia or severe oligospermia were included in this study. One hundred forty trials of ICSI were done by using fresh sperms (fresh group n=140), while 61 trials of ICSI were done by using cryopreserved sperms (cryopreserved group n=61) to compare the conception rates between fresh and cryopreserved sperms used in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Twenty-five samples from each group were collected by doing a testicular biopsy. Pregnancy rates were higher using cryopreserved sperms as compared to fresh spermatozoa, 39.3% compared to 24.3% in the fresh group (P .030), respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio of achieving pregnancy with cryopreserved sperms was 2.022 higher than with fresh (P .030). Cryopreservation has no negative effect on the pregnancy rate. Instead, it might improve the results of ICSI in comparison with a fresh sperm sample.

Dalam proses pelaksanaan sebuah proyek seringkali mengalami kendala yang membuat terhambatnya penyelesaian proyek konstruksi. Salah satu yang dapat menghambat suatu proyek konstruksi adalah disebabkan oleh adanya pekerjaan ulang atau rework. Rework dapat terjadi pada setiap proyek konstruksi, hal ini juga terjadi pada proyek Apartemen Sky House BSD+ Phase 2. Proyek ini mengalami penambahan waktu karena terjadinya pekerjaan yang kualitasnya tidak memenuhi standar kriteria yang telah ditentukan sehingga diperlukan pekerjaan rework untuk memperbaiki mutu dan kualitas dari pekerjaan tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya pekerjaan rework, mengetahui faktor dominan pekerjaan rework serta mengetahui solusi pencegahan terhadap faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya pekerjaan rework pada proyek Apartemen Sky House BSD+ Phase 2. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis kuantitatif dengan instrumen penelitian kuesioner, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan Microsoft Excel dan program computer SPSS. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada 6 faktor utama penyebab terjadinya pekerjaan ulang atau rework, yaitu faktor desain dan dokumentasi, faktor manajerial, faktor sumber daya, faktor manajerial dan peralatan dan faktor site conditions. Faktor yang paling dominan penyebab pekerjaan ulang atau rework pada proyek Apartemen Sky House BSD+ Phase 2 adalah faktor desain dan dokumentasi dengan sub variabel perubahan desain (X1.1), tidak ada shop drawing yang matang dari segi detail (X1.6), faktor manajerial dengan sub variabel kurangnya kontrol di lapangan (X2.1), dan faktor sumber daya dengan sub variabel prosedur kerja yang salah (X3.3). Solusi pencegahan pekerjaan rework adalah untuk desain gambar harus diperhatikan perencanaannya, shop drawing harus dibuat dengan tingkat detail yang jelas, melakukan pengawasan extra pada tenaga kerja agar kesalahan kerja dapat diminimalisir dan sering melakukan rapat koordinasi lapangan untuk mengetahui apakah pekerjaan di lapangan sudah berjalan sesuai dengan prosedur pekerjaan.

Speaking sebagai salah satu keterampilan berbahasa yang produktif sangat penting untuk dikuasai oleh para pembelajar bahasa Inggris. Akan tetapi, pengajaran bahasa Inggris dalam konteks dimana bahasa Inggris diajarkan sebagai bahasa asing (English as a Foreign Language/EFL) memiliki beberapa tantangan. Selain dari minimnya exposure siswa akan bahasa Inggris, salah satu tantangan utamanya adalah sangat sedikitnya kesempatan yang tersedia bagi para siswa untuk berlatih bercakap-cakap dengan menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Untuk itu, maka SMA Kristen Kalam Kudus Sukoharjo mengadakan kegiatan English Conversation Club (ECC) dengan menggandeng Prodi PBI UKSW Salatiga dengan melibatkan dosen sebagai instruktur dan mahasiswa sebagai speaking buddies. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berbahasa Inggris siswa. Metode peer tutoring digunakan dalam kegiatan ini dengan melibatkan mahasiswa sebagai peer tutors atau disebut sebagai speaking buddies dalam kegiatan ECC ini. Kegiatan ECC ini dilakukan sebanyak 8 pertemuan secara online melalui Zoom Meeting. Hasil pengamatan terhadap peran speaking buddies selama 8 kali pertemuan menunjukkan bahwa permasalahan yang sering dihadapi para siswa ketika berlatih berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris dapat sedikit teratasi. Hal ini tentunya tidak lepas dari peran para speaking buddies dalam berbagai sesi kegiatan, baik sebagai organizer, resource, controller, prompter, dan juga (language) model.
