Authors: Izzuddin Baharin Mohamad Haziq , Zulkifly Muhammad Izzat , Shahril Zurena@Rena , Majid Mohd Aliff Abdul
Published: February 2025

Online Food Delivery (OFD) applications have become integral to modern consumer behavior, offering convenience in food and beverage purchases. However, challenges such as inconsistent user experiences, safety concerns, unreliable delivery, and food quality issues continue to impact customer satisfaction and purchase behavior. This research explores the factors influencing Customers’ Online Purchase Behavior (COPB) on OFD platforms in Malaysia, using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) framework. Data was collected through convenience sampling from OFD users in the Klang Valley region, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) respectively. The findings indicate that Social Influence, Hedonic Motivation, Price Value, Habit, and Trialability significantly impact COPB. Among these, Social Influence had the strongest positive effect (β = 0.171, p < 0.001), suggesting that users’ decisions are strongly influenced by the perceptions of others. However, Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, and Facilitating Conditions were not found to significantly influence COPB. This lack of significance could be attributed to the mature technological infrastructure in Malaysia and the normalization of OFD applications. The study concludes that OFD service providers should focus on enhancing social connections, user enjoyment, competitive pricing, and habitual usage to boost customer satisfaction and loyalty. This research offers valuable insights for industry practitioners and suggests areas for future research, particularly regarding the role of performance-related factors in a mature market context.
Engineers Turned Entrepreneurs: Unlocking Talent Retention through Entrepreneurial Orientation
Authors: Osman Idris
Published: February 2025

The dual role of engineers as entrepreneurs is rarely utilized, often leading to inadequate in-house entrepreneurial orientation (EO) activities. This oversight hampers the development of potential entrepreneurs needed to drive organizational advancements in high technology and innovation. Rapid technological changes have reshaped engineers’ career expectations, emphasizing the need for enhanced skills and broader competencies to meet evolving industry demands. A decline in individual-level EO has been linked to engineers’ increased intention to leave their current roles. The objectives of this study are to investigate the role of engineers as entrepreneurs and to develop a conceptual framework that elucidates the relationship between individual dimensions of EO dimensions including innovativeness, proactiveness, autonomy, and risk-taking, and talent retention among engineers. This quantitative study adopts purposive sampling methods among manufacturing engineers located in Southern Region of Malaysia. The data will be analysed using PLS-SEM approach with SmartPLS. The findings highlight that engineers’ entrepreneurial roles are crucial for addressing engineering challenges, with these dual roles enhancing both technical and non-technical skills. Strong evidence supports using individual EO dimensions to assess engineers’ entrepreneurial behaviors and predict positive intentions to remain employed. Understanding these behaviors is essential for boosting career satisfaction and retention, thereby fostering organizational innovation and growth.

Community-based Language Development of Northern Catanduanes, Philippines
Authors: Bautista Renelyn
Published: February 2025

This study determined the language status of Northern Catanduanes spoken in Caramoran, Province of Catanduanes, and a language spoken by the local folks but not widely used outside of their community. Conducted at the height of the pandemic, the Functions, Acquisitions, Motivations, Environment, and Differentiation (FAMED) conditions identified the common factors that determined the level of language use, while the Expanded Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale (EGIDS) measured the level of language use and vitality. Ten participants who are native speakers were selected through purposive sampling based on the Sustainable Use Model (SUM) that provided the framework for evaluating the sustainability of Northern Catanduanes. The data were collected through online focus group discussions (FGD) and survey questionnaire. The findings suggest that the EGIDS level for Northern Catanduanes is Level 5 Developing, which means “the language is being used by some though this is not yet widespread or sustainable language is in vigorous use with literature in a standardized form.” It does not enjoy the same vigorous use and prestige as the other languages of the Bicol Region, because not much is written in Caramoranon; though the locals see its importance as they widely use the language. But it is not the dominant language in trade, government, and education. A coordination with the local education sector, Bicol University, and the Local Government Unit (LGU) for the creation of a working orthography of the Caramoran language is highly recommended by the key informants to reinforce the conditions of sustainable language use and the preservation of the local Caramoran language including comparative studies to gain insights about language vitality that may lead to crafting orthographies and strengthening the MTB-MLE program.

Published: February 2025

Early marriage remains a significant concern in rural regions of Bangladesh, making it  imperative to examine the causes, psycho-social consequences, and economic impacts of  early marriage. The cross-sectional study explored these complex dynamics and interviewed 400 girls/women who married before 18 in four selected districts. Descriptive and inferential  statistics revealed early marriage being greatly influenced by family attitudes (62.85%) &  economic pressures (42.2%). Furthermore, forcible family opinions (75.71%) with the  groom’s pressure (12.85%) and love relationships (14.28%) played a major role in early  marriage. Early married girls experienced depression & sadness (44%), malnutrition (42%),  disrupted education (60%) and other economic challenges. Dowries impacted families  massively, where 60% provided dowry by taking loans (60.37%) due to having no other  option. Early-married girls faced significant hardships, enduring psycho-social and economic  oppression that severely impacted their quality of life. There is a need to integrate education,  awareness, and policy reforms to mitigate the far-reaching consequences of early marriage.

The quality of education at the school level (learning) is influenced by the pedagogical competence of teachers in carrying out their duties, so the pedagogical competence of teachers is one of the important factors in achieving educational success. In accordance with Government Regulation No. 74 of 2008 concerning teachers, it is stated that pedagogical competence is the ability of teachers in managing student learning, which includes a deep understanding of educational foundations. This not only improves the quality of education but also contributes to achieving greater educational goals in society. The ability to understand students is not just about knowing their academic abilities, but also includes the emotional, social, and cultural aspects that shape their learning experiences. The purpose of this research is to: 1) determine the influence of school culture of certified educator teachers on pedagogical competence, 2) determine the influence of academic supervision by the principal on pedagogical competence, 3) determine the influence of school culture of certified educator teachers and academic supervision by the principal on pedagogical competence. The pedagogical competence of certified educators in Tegal Regency has several issues, including some teachers who do not yet understand assessment and lack time discipline, suboptimal teaching preparation, unoptimized learning preparation, inadequate classroom management, and the need for teachers to improve varied teaching strategies to create an enjoyable and memorable learning atmosphere for students. This research uses a quantitative method. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire as the research instrument. The research location is at SMK Bhakti Praja, Tegal Regency. The sample in this study consisted of 60 certified educators. The results of this study indicate that 10.7% of teachers' pedagogical competence is influenced by school culture, 10% is influenced by the academic supervision of the principal, and 17% is influenced by both school culture and the academic supervision of the principal simultaneously. The findings of this study show that: 1) School culture partially affects pedagogical competence, 2) The academic supervision of the principal partially affects pedagogical competence, 3) School culture and academic supervision simultaneously affect pedagogical competence.

Two perspectives regarding post-Enlightenment violence: In an Antique Land by Amitav Ghosh and Nocturno de Chile by Roberto Bolaño
Authors: Meller Alan
Published: February 2025

In this article, we will review two different visions regarding the relationship between Western Civilization and violence, two strategies used to expose the dark side of Enlightenment and the ways to overcome it. In In an Antique Land (1994), we will examine Amitav Ghosh’s attempts to modify the modern/colonialist practice of anthropology, shifting the traditional axis of hegemony and subalternity, deconstructing the fixity of representation, and proposing a new, more horizontal and familiar relation with the Other. In Nocturno de Chile (2000), Roberto Bolaño exhibits how Enlightenment (and literature) has been used to hide and justify the deployment of violence. Also, we will attempt to find Bolaño’s exit to that corridor, with apparently no way out.
(How) Can “I” listen to the voices emerging from Comunidad de Solentiname? (Researcher’s Locus in Approaching the Other “Other”)
Authors: Sharan Nilesh
Published: February 2025

“Comunidad de Solentiname” was one of the main Ecclesial Base Communities (CEBs) that played a significant role, in both cultural-symbolic and politico-military terms, during the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua (1960-1979). In my perception and interpretation, I shall deal with the theoretical-methodological implications of the testimonies-artistic works of this revolutionary Christian community. How can a person from far away India listen to and interact with the voices from Solentiname, Nicaragua, and produce “scientific” knowledge about the same in a context where the very framework (terms, words, categories, concepts, methodologies, etc.) of the production of that knowledge, emanates from the processes of colonization/otherization/domination of the non-western? The point of discussion is the ambivalent tension between the “subject” and the “object” of the research, localized on the exteriority (the two “Others” are relatively different but not distinct) to the modern-colonial scientific paradigm, whose basic research framework must shape the process of research. Subsequently, it discusses a useful methodological-theoretical praxis of “Non-negligence”—of Buddhist soteriological origins—in interaction with the works of decolonial studies and, also with the concepts of reflexivity and epistemological vigilance debated in recent developments in social sciences, seeking to engage in a conversation by way of a pluriversal translation.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lapangan (penelitian lapangan) dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik reduksi data, penyajian data, dan kesimpulan. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa para pedagang Muslim di Pasar Minggu Kota Bengkulu merasakan berbagai manfaat dari QRIS, seperti kemudahan transaksi untuk pelanggan yang tidak membawa uang tunai, transaksi yang aman, mengurangi risiko uang palsu, memudahkan penyimpanan dana melalui rekening, dan bermanfaat untuk usaha kedepannya . Namun para pedagang Muslim belum merasakan perubahan signifikan dalam volume penjualan setelah menggunakan QRIS dan menganggap QRIS hanya sebagai alat pelengkap transaksi, karena pembayaran tunai masih menjadi metode transaksi utama, terutama untuk transaksi dengan nominal kecil, sehingga pengoperasiannya masih terbatas. Inklusi keuangan syariah pada produk dan layanan perbankan syariah dari sudut pandang para pedagang Muslim di Pasar Minggu Kota Bengkulu mengungkapkan bahwa akses ke produk dan layanan perbankan syariah relatif mudah, namun masih belum merasakan manfaatnya dan belum memahami konsepnya secara utuh, kurang pemahaman dan literasi keuangan syariah menyebabkan mereka menganggap bank syariah tidak berbeda signifikan dengan bank konvensional, sehingga masih lebih nyaman menggunakan produk dan layanan perbankan konvensional.

Published: February 2025

Penelitian ini mengkaji peran strategis KSPPS BMT Ummat Sejahtera Abadi Cabang Kalinyamatan dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan petani padi melalui skema pembiayaan syariah yang fleksibel dan adaptif. Salah satu isu utama yang dihadapi petani adalah keterbatasan akses terhadap pembiayaan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan karakteristik pendapatan mereka yang bersifat musiman. BMT USA merancang dua skema pembiayaan, yaitu skema musiman untuk mengakomodasi pendapatan petani yang fluktuatif, dan skema bulanan untuk anggota yang membutuhkan pembayaran lebih terstruktur. Tujuan pengabdian ini adalah menyediakan solusi pembiayaan yang adil dan sesuai prinsip syariah guna meningkatkan produktivitas pertanian dan kesejahteraan petani. Metode pendekatan partisipatif diterapkan dengan melibatkan petani dalam proses identifikasi kebutuhan, pemberian modal kerja, dan pendampingan teknis. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa pembiayaan syariah yang ditawarkan mampu memberikan modal kepada petani untuk memenuhi kebutuhan seperti pupuk dan alat pertanian, sekaligus mengatasi tantangan musiman seperti cuaca ekstrem. Selain itu, prinsip keadilan yang diterapkan meningkatkan kepercayaan petani terhadap BMT dibandingkan lembaga keuangan konvensional. Program ini tidak hanya memperkuat daya beli masyarakat lokal dan perputaran ekonomi di desa-desa sekitar, tetapi juga menjangkau segmen masyarakat yang kurang terlayani, sehingga memberikan dampak nyata terhadap peningkatan kesejahteraan petani padi.

Filsafat dan Agama
Authors: Syatori Ahmad
Published: February 2025

Religion and philosophy are two components that direct humans in achieving life goals. It is this fundamental difference that gives rise to the tendency for symmetrical and non-reciprocal development between philosophy and religion in the field of modern "knowledge". The terms philosophy and religion have meanings that are understood by many people in different ways. Philosophy in its operation begins with reason, while religion begins with revelation. Philosophy is a particular field of science that examines how humans can think deeply about something, while religion is a special field of science that examines how humans can behave and behave well based on a teaching that is in accordance with religious guidance. Basically between philosophy and religion have very basic differences, but the difference is not a cause of separation between the two, it can actually be a meeting point in solving a problem and providing solutions and solutions to a particular problem. Philosophy and religion in different positions will certainly produce different sources of knowledge. Where philosophy can find a scientific knowledge rationally, while religion can find a religious knowledge spiritually

This work uses on-line monitoring of turbidity to ascertain the temperature impact on the mixing performance of kneading blocks with different geometries. For this purpose, one of the barrel segments of the extruder was modified to incorporate four sampling devices and a slit die containing optical windows. The experiments consisted in reaching steady extrusion and then adding a small amount of tracer. Upon opening each sampling device, material was laterally detoured from the local screw channel and its turbidity were measured by the optical detector. Residence time distribution (RTD) curves were obtained at various axial positions along three different kneading blocks and under different temperatures. It is hypothesized that K, a parameter related to the area under each RTD curve, is a good indicator of dispersive mixing, whereas variance can be used to assess distributive mixing. The experimental data confirmed that these mixing indices are sensitive to changes in processing conditions and that they translate the expected behavior of each kneading block geometry.

Corrosion of commonly used steel reinforcements weakens the structural strength of concrete. To address this issue, research was conducted on concrete reinforcements in the form of polymer fibers. These polymer fibers need concrete bonding ability and good mechanical properties. This study investigates core-shell fibers produced from polyketone and polypro pylene mixed with a compatibilizer. The core-shell fibers were produced by coextrusion and drawing. The fibers were analyzed by tensile tests, a single fiber pull-out test, contact angle measurements, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis.
Fatigue lifetime analysis of POM gears for generalized tooth root shapes
Authors: Eberlein Robert , Düzel Sven
Published: February 2025

The current calculation methods for determining the tooth root load capacity of polymer gears (e.g., VDI 2736) are based on the same assumptions as those for steel gears. However, due to the non-linear material behavior, temperature, and rate dependency of polymers, these predictions are often inaccurate. A previous study employed rate-dependent nonlinear viscoplastic finite element (FE) modelling of polyoxymethylene (POM) to quantify material influences not considered in standard metal gear assumptions. A lifetime model was developed and validated to predict tooth root fracture based on rotational speed for a constant tooth root geometry. In this study, the existing damage model is adapted and validated to include the dependency on notch (tooth root) geometry. The extension of the model to two damage parameters allows for a geometry-independent representation of the nonlinear speed dependency of tooth root breakage. This correlative modelling approach incorporates two independent damage mechanisms inside the material which lead to tooth root breakage failure of the gear. To map these mechanisms, local material states at the crack initiation point are used as damage parameters. Calibration of the bi-parametric damage model with experimental data shows that model predictions fall within the experimental scatter. Further research is ongoing to extend the damage model regarding generalized torque loading conditions.
Investigation of isotactic polypropylene crystallization in processing conditions
Authors: Speranza Vito , Pantani Roberto
Published: February 2025

Flow and pressure applied during polymer transformation processes of semi-crystalline polymers can significantly affect the kinetics of crystallization, final morphology, and properties of the part. In commonly used polymer transformation processes, the molten polymer is subjected to high pressure and thermal stress, as well as intense shear and elongational flow fields. The effect of pressure on crystallization kinetics is significant from both scientific and technological perspectives since the polymer solidifies under high pressure in important industrial processing techniques. On the other hand, the high shear rates experienced during the polymer processing can lead to the development of a highly non-uniform morphology that is typically very different from what is observed for quiescent crystallization of the same polymer. One example is injection molding, where the high shear rates experienced by a polymer melt close to the cold walls of the cavity can lead to a highly oriented layer (“skin” layer), whereas the low flow field close to sample mid-plane can lead to an isotropic layer (“core” layer) developing the so-called “skin-core” morphology. Thus, an understanding of polymer crystallization behavior with respect to the processing conditions is required to enable the rational design of materials and to optimize the final properties of the parts. This work explored the effects of the pressure and flow field on the kinetics of crystallization of isotactic polypropylene (i.e., iPP). The study of the effect of pressure on the crystallization kinetics of iPP was conducted using a dilatometer in the pressure range from 10 MPa to 100 MPa. Several isothermal flow experiments were carried out using two different devices: the Linkam shear cell and the Multi-Pass Rheometer (MPR). To describe the evolution into isotropic structures and fibrillar structures, a Kolmogoroff–Avrami–Evans model was adopted.
