Authors: Islam Jahirul
Published: October 2024

Transgender issue has become a hotly debated topic recently. This is a topic related to the gender identity issues. Transgender refers to the condition in which some people with mental disorders identify their identity and gender as different from their biological sex. The inner feelings and sexual orientation of this group stand opposite to the apparent gender. This is due to dissatisfaction, disharmony and mental disorders in their body and mind. It is very difficult to accept their existence, because most of the people of Bangladesh consider this phenomenon as a deviation and it is in conflict with the prevailing moral and religious values of the society. The Qur’an and Sunnah has addressed this issue explicitly. Scrupulously considering the acute sensitivity of the doctrine this article aims to generate awareness among the Bengali-speaking Muslim community. The author has employed descriptive and analytical methods in this study. This article has demonstrated that a section of Muslim-majority Bangladesh is trying to legalize the transgender issue, despite the fact that this practice is strictly prohibited in Islamic Sharia. In such a situation, this study urges that it is the responsibility of people of all walks of life to curb this faith-destroying sedition and work unitedly to prevent its spread.

Published: October 2024

Advertising plays an important role in influencing consumer perceptions and attitudes towards products, especially for well-known brands like Wardah. Advertising strategies help build a positive image and increase consumer interest. Research shows that consumers are more likely to buy products from well-known brands than lesser-known brands. Wardah, which is widely known by Germasa GPIB Petra women, allows consumers to recognize and create their image. Wardah's advantages include a halal guarantee from MUI and its availability in various online and offline stores. Quantitative research method This research examines the influence of advertising on consumer purchasing decisions based on syringe theory. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire are adequate (Cronbach's alpha 0.749). The analysis shows that the effect of advertising is very small (R² 0.030%). Although the T-test shows a significant impact (count 4.384 Table 2.0106), overall, the effect of advertising is not substantial (0.02958%). Internal and interpersonal factors are more dominant, so the syringe theory is not fully proven. Research shows that Wardah product advertisements have a significant influence on purchasing decisions (reliability 0.766 and 0.749). The hypothesis is accepted, but the R Square value of 0.030% shows a very small effect. GPIB Petra's female consumers rely more on personal experience and other factors than advertising, so advertising does not play a significant role in purchasing decisions.

Published: October 2024

La incorporación de la realidad aumentada (RA) en la educación superior ha revolucionado los enfoques pedagógicos, especialmente en la enseñanza de lenguas. Esta tecnología permite superponer elementos virtuales al entorno físico, creando experiencias de aprendizaje dinámicas y envolventes que mejoran la interacción y participación de los estudiantes. La RA ofrece un contexto inmersivo donde los alumnos pueden practicar el idioma en situaciones reales, facilitando la adaptación a diversos estilos de aprendizaje.
Este artículo de revisión explora la implementación de la RA en la enseñanza de idiomas, evaluando su impacto en la experiencia educativa y los beneficios y desafíos asociados a su uso. Aunque se han logrado avances significativos, aún persisten dificultades para involucrar activamente a los estudiantes y personalizar el aprendizaje, en especial en entornos con recursos limitados. A pesar de esto, la RA se presenta como una alternativa prometedora para superar estas limitaciones.
La investigación se basa en un enfoque cualitativo y una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura, destacando la necesidad de un análisis crítico sobre cómo la RA puede revolucionar la enseñanza de lenguas. Los resultados muestran que la RA mejora la motivación y el desarrollo de habilidades lingüísticas, aunque también señala la falta de infraestructura y formación docente como barreras a su implementación efectiva.

Published: October 2024

This article explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology in revolutionizing data management and enhancing transparency across various industries. As a decentralized, immutable ledger system, blockchain offers a secure and efficient way to record, share, and verify information, eliminating the need for intermediaries and reducing the risk of fraud. The article reviews the fundamental principles of blockchain, including distributed consensus, cryptographic security, and smart contracts, to highlight how these features improve data integrity and trust in digital transactions. Through case studies in sectors such as finance, supply chain management, healthcare, and government services, the article demonstrates how blockchain can streamline operations, reduce costs, and promote accountability. Particular attention is given to the role of blockchain in improving transparency by providing an auditable and tamper-proof record of transactions, which is especially valuable in industries prone to corruption and data manipulation. The article also addresses the challenges facing blockchain adoption, including scalability issues, regulatory concerns, and the need for standardization. Additionally, the potential of blockchain in emerging applications, such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), is discussed, highlighting the technology’s expanding role in reshaping digital economies. The article concludes by emphasizing that while blockchain is still in its developmental stages, its ability to foster greater transparency and more secure data management systems positions it as a key driver of innovation in the digital age. Future research is recommended to explore further integration strategies and address challenges in widespread blockchain adoption.
Competence Level of Graduates on Procurement Strategies for Digital Supply Chains in Tanzania
Authors: Rodrick Filbert
Published: October 2024

Strategic procurement enables companies to develop and enhance their advantage over its competitors –both by cost advantage or differentiation advantage. Accordingly, modern and future procurement is highly strategic in comparison to traditional and e-procurement practices. However, the extent to which the graduates are prepared on procurement strategies for digital supply chains is scarcely known in Tanzania. In other words, very little is known on the competence level of graduates on digital supply chain management. Therefore, this study evaluated the competence level of graduates on procurement strategies for digital supply chains in Tanzania. It specifically determined the level of awareness of graduates on procurement strategies for digital supply chains; the extent to which the graduates are prepared on procurement strategies for digital supply chains while at educational institutions studying, and ranking of skills on digital supply chains acquired by the graduates in relation to hard and soft supply chain skills. This study used quantitative approach with descriptive cross-sectional survey design. The data were collected from 500 graduates of Procurement and Supply in Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, Mwanza and Dodoma who were sampled using multi-stage sampling techniques.  The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings reveal that, majority of the graduates had low level of awareness on procurement strategies for digital supply chains. In addition, the majority of graduates were prepared on procurement strategies for digital supply chains to the very small extent. Moreover, skills on digital and soft supply chains were ranked thirdly/low in acquisition when at the education institutions compare to hard supply chain skills. The graduates acquired digital and soft supply chain skills in lower rate (rank) compare to hard supply chain skills acquired in moderate rate. It is generally concluded that, the graduates had low level of competence on procurement strategies for digital supply chains in Tanzania. This study advocates for serious engagement of both private and public stakeholders in collaborating with colleges/institutes in training on procurement strategies for digital supply chains in Tanzania in order to produce competent labour force for the digital world of work.
