Social media has infiltrated the 21st-century generations of Internet users, making it a very prominent means of communications dissemination, particularly among students at a higher level of education. As technology will continue to evolve the role humans play in the near future, everyone will be required to adapt their skills throughout their daily and working lives. Therefore, individuals especially younger generations will need to act and engage in lifelong learning, so they are adaptable when the changes happen. Nowadays, the learning process is not only confined to the walls of the classrooms, instead, students are also able to access knowledge at any time and place that they are comfortable with to clear their doubts. Social media has also brought forth the concept of ubiquitous learning, which means that students can explore and request a related topic of interest from experts from all around the world. While this social engagement brings many benefits to the students particularly towards improving their self-esteem and enhance their learning philosophy. However, the question of can their social media engagement behaviours affect their social sustainability is still in debate. Hence, this research will explore the role of social media as a persuasive ubiquitous learning platform to enhance individual social sustainability. The research focuses on a particular field such as in education and society and will also relate the gratification factors on how social media like LinkedIn and Twitter will broadly affect students and societies.

Tranformation from conventional production system to lean production system has helped many manufacturing companies to reduce cost and ultimately improve their business performance. Unfortunately, there were also many reported cases where manufacturers failed to sustain the transformation until they achieve the ultimate result. Therefore, this article aimed to review existing Lean Transformation Sustainability (LTS) models that might help scholars and practitioners gain better insights on how to sustain lean transformation. This article compiled 37 LTS models through assistance of online bibliographic databases. The review study found that many researchers have proposed original models which involved high participation of practitioners and to some extent consultants in the development of LTS models. It was also found that a huge number of inconsistent elements were used to propose the LTS models. The study findings provided direction towards future research opportunities such as the development of LTS assessment model that encompassed standard set of elements for generalisation.

Published: March 2021

In a majority of banking and non-banking institutions, intellectual capital (IC) is one of the prominent factors that contributes to the development of knowledge-based economy and increase in competitiveness. However, there is an ambiguity in whether a firm’s precious resources could guarantee the success of new strategies. Thus, this study was undertaken to examine the significant effect of intellectual capital on the performance of MFIs. This study also examined whether the MFIs specification could have a moderating effect on the relationship between intellectual capital and MFIs’ performance. The current study used the PLS-SEM to analyze the research model and found that it explains 43.6 % of the substantial amount of variance in the performance of MFIs. Theoretically, the study extends the resource-based view (RBV) in projecting the MFIs’ performance. The empirical results show that there is a significant relationship between IC and MFIs’ performance for both banking and non-banking MFIs.

Food waste is a crucial and persistent issue globally. The household food waste phenomenon in Malaysia has emerged as increasingly serious with the rapid rise in its generation by domestic households. This study explored youth behaviour toward food waste and its disposal behaviour among the university students of Faculty Business and Management, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Puncak Alam Campus. Factor analysis was applied to identify the underlying factors of food waste and disposal behaviour, while the independent t-test served to examine gender differences regarding the factors. In particular, Pearson’s Chi-square Test of Independence was applied to examine the association between gender and food waste, food planning, and food recycling behaviors. To this end, a self-administrated questionnaire was used to collect data based on the convenience sampling method in which a sample size of 111 respondents were engaged with. Factor analysis successfully identified three factors as a result, namely food disposal, knowledge of food waste, and involvement in preventing food waste. The independent t-test also revealed significant gender differences among the students on food disposal behavior, whereas no significant gender differences were found with the actors of knowledge of food waste and involvement in preventing food waste. Additionally, there was no association between gender and food recycling, food planning, and food waster behaviours, respectively. As such, these findings can increase student participation and commitment to reducing food waste as it is fast becoming an issue for all.

Authors: Rosele Muhammad Ikhlas , Abdullah Luqman
Published: March 2021

Zakah (Islamic almsgiving) on shares are generally mentioned indirectly in classical fiqh books. This is due to the fact that the practice of shares is relatively new in classical Islamic jurisprudence literature. However, the basis of the debate on shares can be traced to its establishment and development in the classical fiqh discourse. Muslim individual and Muslim-operated companies have been involved in investment and share-trading, thus creating the debate of zakah on shares in Malaysia. Therefore, the objective of this study is to highlight the discussion of zakah on shares based on the reality in Malaysia. The focus of the debate will touch the aspects of legal shares, fiqh of zakah and its method of calculation.
Determination of poverty among the poor and needy in a developing country
Authors: Ali Ahmad Fahme Mohd , Ibrahim Mohd Faisol
Published: March 2021

This article attempts to analyse the determination of poverty among the poor and needy of the zakat recipients in Kelantan, Malaysia. The study is motivated from the Kelantan zakat collection (2003-2015) that suggests that the growth alone (high collection) is not enough to eliminate poverty, there are indeed, other elements of poverty eradication like the socio economic, demographic factors, remittances and the investments in social and economic factors like the food subsidy for the poorest, good quality education, opportunities for the most needy, regulation of job markets, and purposively designed social security nets also have significant impact on permanent reduction in poverty. In Kelantan, despite zakat centres having disbursed an increasing amount of expenditure annually on the two categories of zakat recipients, hitherto the number of fuqara (poor) and masakin (needy) households is still increasing (MAIK, 2014; JAWHAR, 2012). Thus, it is important to understand the nature and scale of poverty, the various driving forces that affect it and the determinants of poverty among the poor and needy as linked to this process. A sample of 505 households from 2016 Household Expenditure Survey (HES) among the poor and needy zakat recipients in Kelantan has been used in this study. The findings have important policy implications for Kelantan Zakat Department (MAIK) in making the zakat distribution becomes more efficient and uplift the important role of zakat as one of the poverty alleviation tools among the Muslims. This study recommends the method of zakat distribution should be improved and channelled accordingly in order to strengthen the Muslims economy condition and then, it would facilitate the poverty alleviation programmes by the zakat department.
Need of elevating the role of shariah board and portraying them significantly on Islamic bank websites: Why and how?
Authors: Khan Tahreem Noor
Published: March 2021

Islamic banking emerged rapidly to fulfil the financial needs of Muslim consumers, by using different viable modes of Islamic financing. These tools of financing were designed to avoid risk-free return, unjustified increase of money on money and uncertainty. To make these tool authentic, in all Islamic bank, Shariah board members are the pillar of the management structure. The presence of renowned scholars in a bank actually helps to increase the worth of a Shariah financial brand as they are the one who oversee and supervise the activities of banks. However, it is noticed that confusion and misperception exist generally about Islamic banks due to lack of devising authentic products, modes of structure and operational default.  To identify the customer perception about Shariah scholars, Online Survey was conducted. In total 92 respondents participated. With that, 14 top Islamic bank websites  (Bahrain, Lebanon, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia,  Srilanka, Indonesia, Bangladesh, UAE, Pakistan, Malaysia, Kuwait, Jordan, Eygpt, Oman) was observed to figure how they have given importance and exposure to the Shariah board members. The findings suggested that web-marketing could highlight the role of Shariah scholars so that both users and non-users of Islamic banks were able to learn more about the machinery of Islamic financial products. In addition, Shariah board scholars should consciously reconsider and review their past and present approaches so as to perform better in the future.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Islamic Credit Cards
Authors: Johan Zaimy Johana , Hussain Mohd Zainee
Published: March 2021

The Malaysian Islamic financial services have developed and thrived in the competitive domestic and global financial market especially in the last three decades.  The Government has provided the industry conducive enabling environment to catalyse the industry growth and development. Islamic finance has gained prominence and been identified as the growth area in the nation’s financial sector.  The Bank Negara Malaysia Annual Report 2020 published on 3 April 2020 amongst others highlights that with an advanced regulatory framework already in place, Islamic finance is poised to play a more prominent role in the coming period, particularly in its potential to apply shariah principles to expand social finance and address market gaps in innovative ways.  With a range of innovative shariah compliant products and services, the halal financial services have gained market acceptance from both Muslims and non-Muslims alike, albeit with different levels of acceptance according to the products.  Specifically, to a certain degree it appears that the market has been more receptive of other Islamic financial services such as loans for various purposes including purchases of securities, properties, vehicles; working capital and even personal loans than the credit cards.  According to the Bank Negara Monthly Statistical Bulletin: Monthly Highlights and Statistics in September 2020, as of September 2020, Islamic banks had disbursed 35.7% or RM651.4 billion of the total loans in the banking system in September 2020.  The Islamic credit cards however have a lower market share of 10.2% or RM3.7 billion of total credit card transactions.  The slower growth pace, lower market share and performance of Islamic credit cards vis–a-vis conventional credit cards, and also compared with other Islamic financial products merit further scrutiny and analysis to help better understand the issues pertinent the growth of the Islamic credit cards. Issues such as why other Islamic loans and hire purchase products have performed better; why the slower growth of Islamic credit cards; customers and market expectation of Islamic credit cards; Islamic credit card product development and marketing strategies need to be carefully examined in order to overcome Islamic credit card growth conundrum.

ABSTRAKIsu mengenai Jalur Rempah sebagai Warisan Budaya Dunia akhir-akhir ini sangat santer dibicarakan oleh para pakar dan praktisi warisan budaya dan sejarah di Indonesia dan beberapa negara-negara Eropa. Selama ini banyak sekali pembahasan tentang proses perjalanan orang-orang Eropa mencari rempah pada abad ke-16, atau lokasi-lokasi dan jenis-jenis rempah yang populer saat itu, dan atau khasiat rempah itu sendiri. Hampir sebagian besar menyimpulkan bahwa rempah yang paling dicari adalah cengkih dan pala yang berasal dari Kepulauan Maluku. Namun belum banyak pembahasan Jalur Rempah yang cukup kongkrit mengenai jalur itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini mencoba rekonstruksi jalur pelayaran kapal-kapal Eropa di Kepulauan Maluku. Dengan pendekatan arkeologi kesejarahan yang digunakan, paling tidak dapat memberikan gambaran jalur-jalur pelayaran yang dilewati oleh kapal-kapal milik Portugis, Spanyol, dan Belanda, berdasarkan keberadaan benteng-benteng mereka yang tersebar di Kepulauan Maluku. Kapal-kapal Eropa tersebut memilih jalur pelayarannya masing-masing, yang dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor salah satunya adalah politik. Gambaran mengenai jalur pelayaran kapalkapal Eropa tersebut paling tidak dapat memberi kontribusi dalam wacana jalur rempah tersebut.

The purpose of this study is to assess how the insertion angle influence the stability mini-implant when loaded with 200cNe in this study, 2mini-screws were implanted in male rabbits’ (n=25) tibia in a 6weeks interval between the firstone and the second one. The second mini-implants were placed at different angles with respect to the cortical bone: -20° in the direction of the force e (GroupI), perpendicular to the force (GroupII) and 30° in the opposite direction of the force (GroupIII). These experimental implants were immediately loaded (right tibias). The Tad`s on the left tibias were regarded as control. The animals were sacrificed six weeks after the first surgery. Linear distances between the two Tad`s were measured with a digital caliper at the time of placement, and after the sacrifice, then were compared. The displacements were: GroupI, 2.96mm ±1.05; GroupII, 0.27mm ±0.36; and GroupIII, 0.29 mm ±0.26. The controls remained. The values for the micro-implants of GroupI showed statistically significant differences (p≤0.05) compared to GroupsII y III. Based on these data, we can conclude that mini-implants inclined towards the direction of the force applied induce more displacement than the ones placed perpendicular to theforce or in the opposite direction of the force

Democracy cannot survive from such a closed state. In a basic concept of democracy, there is a fundamental principle, namely the principle of sovereignty of the people who run the government.Political communication is one of the many roles played by political parties in various available arrangements. The political party is required to communicate knowledge, issues and political thoughts.Constitutionally, the Government adopts a Presidential System in which the ministers in the cabinet are responsible to the president. But in practice the SBY-JK administration is more of a Parliamentary System. Keywords: political parties, democracy, SBY government

Ruang lingkup penelitian ini mencakup bencana yang terjadi di pinggiran wilayah di Pontianak yaitu di daerah Sungai raya Dalam berupa kebakaran hutan (kabut asap). Penelitian ini dengan Penelitian kualitatif yaitu peneliti menggambarkan objek yang diamati sebagaimana adanya kemudian dilanjutkan dengan analisis data untuk mendapatkan kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian. Temuan penelitian menunjukan bahwa implementasi kebijakan yang dilakukan masih belum optimal. Beberapa faktor penyebab tidak efektifnya implementasi tersebut yaitu disamping pelaksanaan program yang terkesan kurang fokus, program yang diselenggarakan lebih dominan berbentuk respon daripada memitigasi bencana tersebut. Hal ini terlihat pada saat monitoring daerah yang rawan bencana. Faktor lain yang penting adalah program yang digulirkan masih bersifat penguatan institusi dalam penanggulangan bencana. Anggaran yang dialokasikan masih kurang memadai. Jumlah yang kecil tersebut masih jauh daripada pembiayaan dalam penanggulangan kebencanaan yang terjadi..Kata Kunci (Key words) : Implementasi Kebijakan, Penyelenggaraan Penanggulangan Bencana, Kebakaran Hutan, Kabut Asap

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of dexamethasone on fetal heart rate parameters using the standard dose regimen. Study Design: A prospective cohort study conducted in the Maternity Department, Suez Canal University hospitals. Sixty- eight pregnant women with gestational age between 28 and 34 weeks were recruited. Patients received 4 doses of dexamethasone 6 mg every 12 hours for threatened preterm delivery due to preterm premature rupture of membranes, placenta previa or history of preterm labor. Computerized cardiotocography was recorded for 60 minutes on day 0 (before dexamethasone administration), day 2 and day 4 after administration. Cardiotocography monitoring was performed between 11 am and 1 pm to avoid diurnal rhythm of fetal heart rate. Outcome measure included changes in fetal heart rate accelerations, variability and fetal movements following dexamethasone injection. Results: Sixty-eight patients were enrolled in the study. Fetal heart rate accelerations (P=0.0001), short-term variation (P=0.01), episodes of high variation (P=0.003) and fetal movements (P=0.0001) were significantly reduced on day 2 after dexamethasone. No significant changes were found on baseline fetal heart rate (P=0.18), long-term variation (P=0.1) and number of decelerations (P=0.1). All parameters returned to baseline values on Day 4 after administration. Conclusion: Dexamethasone induces transient suppression of fetal heart rate parameters on day 2 after administration that mimics fetal compromise. Awareness of this phenomenon is important to avoid iatrogenic delivery of preterm fetuses.

Minimum entangled state dimension required for pseudo-telepathy
Authors: Brassard G. , Methot A.A. , Tapp A.
Published: March 2021

Pseudo-telepathy provides an intuitive way of looking at Bell's inequalities, in which it is often obvious that feats achievable by use of quantum entanglement would be classically impossible. A~two-player pseudo-telepathy game proceeds as follows: Alice and Bob are individually asked a question and they must provide an answer. They are \emph{not} allowed any form of communication once the questions are asked, but they may have agreed on a common strategy prior to the execution of the game. We~say that they \emph{win} the game if the questions and answers fulfil a specific relation. A~game exhibits \emph{pseudo-telepathy} if there is a quantum strategy that makes Alice and Bob win the game for all possible questions, provided they share prior entanglement, whereas it would be impossible to win this game systematically in a classical setting. In~this paper, we show that any two-player pseudo-telepathy game requires the quantum players to share an entangled quantum system of dimension at least~\mbox{$3 \times 3$}. This is optimal for two-player games, but the most efficient pseudo-telepathy game possible, in terms of total dimension, involves \emph{three} players who share a quantum system of dimension~\mbox{$2 \times 2 \times 2$}.
Coherent optical control of electronic excitations in functionalized semiconductor nanostructures
Authors: Rego L.G.C. , Abuabara S.G. , Batista V.S.
Published: March 2021

The feasibility of creating and manipulating coherent quantum states on surfaces of functionalized semiconductor nanostructures is computationally investigated. Quantum dynamics simulations of electron-hole transfer between catechol molecules adsorbed on TiO_2 -anatase nanostructures under cryogenic and vacuum conditions indicate that laser induced coherent excitations can be prepared and manipulated to exhibit controllable spatial Rabi oscillations. The presented computational methods and results are particularly relevant to explore the basic model components of quantum-information electro-optic devices based on inexpensive and readily available semiconductor materials.
Stabilizing qubit coherence via tracking-control
Authors: Lidar D.A. , Schneider S.
Published: March 2021

We consider the problem of stabilizing the coherence of a single qubit subject to Markovian decoherence, via the application of a control Hamiltonian, without any additional resources. In this case neither quantum error correction/avoidance, nor dynamical decoupling applies. We show that using tracking-control, i.e., the conditioning of the control field on the state of the qubit, it is possible to maintain coherence for finite time durations, until the control field diverges.
Phase control for entanglement preparation in two-qubit systems
Authors: Malinovsky V.S. , Sola I.R.
Published: March 2021

The theory of Quantum Control is starting to lay bridges with the field of Quantum Information and Quantum Computation. Using key ideas of laser control of the dynamics by means of phase manipulation and adiabatic passage, we review laser schemes that allow entanglement preparation in a two-qubit system. The schemes are based on sequences that use four time-delayed pulses, with or without concerted decay, in or off resonance with the intermediate levels of the qubit space. We show how to control the fidelity and phase of the entanglement, as well as the sensitivity of the preparation to the different pulse parameters. In general the schemes provide an improvement in robustness and in the finesse of the control to phase, with respect to previously proposed schemes based on sequences of $\pi$ pulses.
Bidirectional coherent classical communication
Authors: Harrow A.W. , Leung D.W.
Published: March 2021

A unitary interaction coupling two parties enables quantum or classical communication in both the forward and backward directions. Each communication capacity can be thought of as a tradeoff between the achievable rates of specific types of forward and backward communication. Our first result shows that for any bipartite unitary gate, bidirectional coherent classical communication is no more difficult than bidirectional classical communication --- they have the same achievable rate regions. Previously this result was known only for the unidirectional capacities (i.e., the boundaries of the tradeoff). We then relate the tradeoff for two-way coherent communication to the tradeoff for two-way quantum communication and the tradeoff for coherent communication in one direction and quantum communication in the other.
Information vs. disturbance in dimension D
Authors: Boykin P.O. , Roychowdhury V.P.
Published: March 2021

We show that for Eve to get information in one basis about a state, she must cause errors in \emph{all} bases that are mutually unbiased to that basis. Our result holds in any dimension. We also show that this result holds for \emph{all functions of messages} that are encrypted with a key.
Two slightly-entangled NP-complete problems
Authors: Orus R.
Published: March 2021

We perform a mathematical analysis of the classical computational complexity of two genuine quantum-mechanical problems, which are inspired in the calculation of the expected magnetizations and the entanglement between subsystems for a quantum spin system. These problems, which we respectively call SES and SESSP, are specified in terms of pure slightly-entangled quantum states of $n$ qubits, and rigorous mathematical proofs that they belong to the NP-Complete complexity class are presented. Both SES and SESSP are, therefore, computationally equivalent to the relevant $3$-SAT problem, for which an efficient algorithm is yet to be discovered.
Transformation of quantum states using uniformly controlled rotations
Authors: Mottonen M. , Vartiainen J. J. , Bergholm V. , Salomaa M. M.
Published: March 2021

We consider a unitary transformation which maps any given pure state of an $n$-qubit quantum register into another one. This transformation has applications in the initialization of a quantum computer, and also in some quantum algorithms. Employing uniformly controlled rotations, we present a quantum circuit of $2^{n+2}-4n-4$ CNOT gates and $2^{n+2}-5$ one-qubit elementary rotations that effects the state transformation. The complexity of the circuit is noticeably lower than the previously published results. Moreover, we present an analytic expression for the rotation angles needed for the transformation.
