Surgically treated intracranial arteriovenous fistulas with hemorrhage, resulting in complete obliteration: illustrative cases
Authors: Matsuhashi Ako , Yanai Kei , Koizumi Satoshi , Yoshikawa Gakushi
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Intracranial arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a rare disease, defined as anastomoses between cerebral or meningeal arteries and dural venous sinuses or cortical veins. With the development of new agents and devices, endovascular embolization has been considered safe and effective in a majority of cases. However, cases that require direct surgery do exist. Herein, the authors present 3 cases of intracranial AVFs that presented with hemorrhage and were treated with direct surgery, achieving complete obliteration and favorable outcomes.

OBSERVATIONS

Intracranial AVFs that present with hemorrhage require immediate and complete obliteration. When AVFs involve the dural sinus, transvenous embolization is usually the first choice of treatment. AVFs with single cortical venous drainage are best treated with interruption of the draining vein close to the fistula. Transarterial embolization can be a curative treatment if there are no branches supplying cranial nerves or an association with pial feeders. In cases in which endovascular treatment is technically challenging or has resulted in incomplete occlusion, surgical treatment is indicated.

LESSONS

Despite the recent rise in endovascular treatment, it is important to recognize situations in which such treatment is not suitable for intracranial AVFs. Direct surgery is effective in such cases to offer the best possible outcome.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study was to compare differences in socio-demographic characteristics, depression, and life satisfaction between the elderly participating and the non-participating in economic activities, and to identify variables that affect participation in economic activities in old age. For the purpose, we conducted Chi-square test, t-Test, Pearson correlation analysis, and Binomial logistic regression analysis on the raw data of 10,097 people over 65 years old from 『Survey on the Status of the Elderly in 2020』. The main results were as follows : 1) There were higher proportion of subjects male, younger, higher educated, with a spouse, with higher income, with good subjective health, and living with a spouse in the participating group than in the non-participating economic activity group. In addition, the participating group in economic activities had higher satisfaction with health status, economic status, social-leisure-cultural activities, relationships with friends or community, and life as a whole, and lower depression. 2) As a result of the binomial logistic regression analysis, the model was statistically significant and had an explanatory power of 24.0%. All variables except satisfaction with economic status were significant factors influencing participation in economic activities in old age. The elderly male, younger, less-educated, living alone, higher-income, higher satisfaction with health status and relationships with friends or community, lower satisfaction with social-leisure-cultural activities and life as a whole, and with lower depression were more likely to participate in economic activities. Finally, based on the results of this study, several limitations and suggestions for follow-up research and policy direction were added.

Authors:   Korean Society of Educational Gerontology, Min Mi-Kyoung , Kim Young-Ok
Published: December 2023

This study began operating literacy education institutions recognized by academic background in 2013 in order to suggest ways to revitalize literacy education institutions recognized by middle-aged and older people. As of 2022, 9 institutions are operating literacy education courses for elementary and middle school students. The ‘literacy education institution in North Chungcheong Province’ was judged to be suitable for the research purpose, so it was selected as a case and a qualitative study was conducted. As research participants, 13 interviewees were selected from four actively operated institutions with different types of facilities. The research results were as follows. First, as a way to establish a literacy education system for academic achievement recognition in the Chungbuk region, enactment of an ordinance, deployment of lifelong educators dedicated to literacy education, establishment of a management support system to identify potential demand for academic qualification recognition, promotion of education to raise awareness of literacy teachers and literacy teachers, and governance where the private and public sectors work together. will need to be built. Second, as a plan to revitalize the operation of literacy education institutions in North Chungcheong Province, first, active promotion of literacy education recognized by academic qualifications at the national level and research on various promotion methods in institutions are necessary. Second, there is a need to expand nearby learning spaces to make it easier for middle-aged and older learners to access. Third, financing must be secured in the form of a main budget that can be continuously supported, rather than a budget in the form of a public offering project. Fourth, it is necessary to structure the class in the form of a community learning class so that a sense of identity and mutual relationship can be formed between learners. Fifth, it is necessary to plan learner-centered programs to strengthen learning motivation, develop curriculum that provides opportunities for learners to experience various education, and develop educational content such as apps related to educational content. Lastly, it is necessary to expand the social base to change the perception of literacy education recognized by academic qualifications.
Comparisons of changes in income and expenditures in old age for single-person households and married couple' households: Focusing on differences between 2010 and 2020
Authors:   Korean Society of Educational Gerontology, Song Si Young , Chun Miae
Published: December 2023

We examined how household income, household expenditure, and itemized expenditure rates change when young elderly (65-74 years old) become elderly (75-84 years old) 10 years later, and whether there are differences by household type (single-person households, married couple' households). We also examined whether household type affects the difference in itemized expenditure (2020-2010). To do so, we used the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA), which includes 856 older adults aged 65 to 74 as of the 3rd wave (2010). By household type, there were 195 single-person households and 197 married couple' households. A paired sample t-test was conducted to examine the changes in household income, household expenditure, and itemized expenditure ratio between 2010 (3rd) and 2020 (8th) for all seniors and by household type, and a regression analysis was conducted to examine how household type affects the difference in itemized expenditure from 2020 (8th) to 2010 (3rd). The results showed that income increased significantly in 2020 (Wave 8) compared to 2010 (Wave 3). The overall expenditure on living expenses and eating out increased significantly for the total elderly, single-person households, and married couple' households, and the proportion of housing expenses in living expenses decreased significantly. In addition, when looking at the difference in expenditure by item by household type, it was found that household type significantly affected the difference in food expenditure. This shows that the difference in food expenditures increased among single-person households compared to among married couple' households. Based on the research results, support measures for elderly single-person households and on-site education services for the elderly were proposed.

This study aims to develop a home-training exercise program to improve lower extremity function in elderly women. Accordingly, through the Plan-Do-Check-Act (hereinafter PDCA) model, a program was developed and applied to evaluate its usability. In the first cycle, the program was developed (P), applied (D), and structured (A) through qualitative evaluation (C). The program was developed by combining baseball massage and self-resistance exercise, and was applied to seven elderly women over 65 years of age twice a week for a total of 12 weeks. The program was implemented non-face-to-face (Zoom, Jitsi-meet) with an instructor once a week, and at-home exercise was conducted through home training once a week. In the process of running the program, operations that needed to be excluded or modified were identified, and the program was structured to reflect this. In the second cycle, the structured program from the first cycle was applied to 15 elderly women twice a week for a total of 8 weeks, and changes in lower limb function of a total of 15 people were evaluated. As a result, compared to before participating in the program, there was a positive improvement in all items, including lower limb flexibility (p-value<.001), lower limb strength (p-value<.001), and dynamic agility (p-value<.001). appear. Baseball massage and self-resistance exercise to improve the lower limb function of the elderly through 2 cycles of PDCA is a program with a high compliance rate and no injuries or side effects, and can be used as a home-training method that can contribute to improving lower limb function. This has been confirmed.

Published: December 2023

This study aims to explore the perception of the older workers and workforce-related policies by generation to find the future direction in our society ahead of a super-aged society. Focus group interviews were conducted with 20 private sector employees in their 20s to 50s. Data were analyzed using a thematic textual analysis. The results showed that the perception of the older workers was very different by age groups. The younger generation showed a negative perception of the abilities of the older workforce, and the older generation complained because they were ignored by the organization and the younger generation, even though their abilities and capabilities were not lagging behind. Regarding personnel policy, younger group generally showed conformity to the seniority system. In general, the younger generation expressed the opinion that it was good to be able to work for a long time even with a pay cut, whereas the older generation insisted that jobs suitable for their roles be given until retirement, and that they should receive appropriate compensation. Based on these results, in-depth discussions were made on ways to raise awareness of inclusiveness among members of the organization and enable older workers to play a productive role in our society.
A Study on Factors on Food Safety Behavior Among Low-income Older Adults with Limited Mobility: For a Healthy Meal Delivery Service for Older Adults
Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Kim Junghyun , Chang Hyeja
Published: December 2023

Healthy eating in terms of nutrition and food safety is crucial for preserving an older adult’s quality of life when their immune systems start to decline. However, it has not gotten the same attention as other age groups. In order to map out a path for secure food safety in later life, this study provided meal services to low-income older adults with limited mobility and examined the determinants impacting their food safety behavior. In Seoul, a pre- and post-test survey was done on 104 older people who had used a healthy meal delivery service, and the results were compared and reviewed with survey data collected from 38 older people who had not used the service. The six-month subscription to the healthy meal delivery service includes daily nutritional monitoring, nutrition delivery, frequent counseling and educational services from a dietician, as well as lunch boxes customized to the customers' health state. The study revealed that older individuals in the experimental group had higher levels of the food safety behavior index after using the service. The index for the older individuals in the comparison group remained unchanged. The use of healthy meal delivery services including nutrition and food safety education was the only factor, according to regression analysis, that had a statistically significant impact on the older people's behaviors related to food safety when socio-demographic variables were controlled. These results show that regular information exchange and dietitian counseling have a positive influence on the food safety practices of elderly low-income individuals with limited mobility. Future legislative and practical initiatives will be required to provide regular dietitian monitoring and intervention to ensure food safety for elderly low-income individuals with limited mobility.

Published: December 2023

Cognitive function is an important component of successful aging, facilitating independent living and affecting quality of life in later life, but less is known whether individuals' cognitive resources and cognitive function are interrelated within couples. Using a sample of 252 older Korean immigrant couples (individual N = 504), we examined the extent to which one's cognitive function was associated with one's own cognitive resources (education, acculturation, friend networks, and participation in activities) and those of one's spouse. Analyses based on the actor-partner interdependence model showed differences in actor and partner effects between spouses. Among husbands, acculturation was the only significant actor-level predictor of cognitive function. Among wives, cognitive function was associated with a wider array of their own cognitive resources, including education, friend networks, and participation in activities. No partner effects were observed for wives' cognitive function, but for husbands, partner effects showed wives' higher education was beneficial for husbands' cognitive function. It is speculated that women's education may promote the cognitive function of their spouses via cognitively stimulating conversations and activities of daily life. These findings highlight the importance of considering the gendered cognitive resources in older immigrant couples’ cognitive health.

Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Lee Hyunkee
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the longitudinal associations between volunteering among older adults and the cognitive functioning for the purpose of preventing the cognitive decline, examining how volunteerism of older persons affects the cognitive functioning. For the purpose, the study analyzes about 8,688 older subjects who are observed six times with intervals of two years, using statistical analysis model of linear multilevel mixed regression. The results show that volunteering is associated with higher level of cognitive function over time, and the education moderates the association, with volunteering benefiting the most differentially least-educated elderly among four higher-educated groups. Also age weakens the effect size of volunteering, but volunteering effects work in all ages. Volunteering is lifestyle behaviors that enhance cognitive functioning of older persons. The results suggests that cognition-strengthened volunteer programs are beneficial to older persons at the population level.
AI-Based Bridge and Road Inspection Framework Using Drones
Authors:   California State University, Fresno, Kulhandjian Hovannes
Published: December 2023

There are over 590,000 bridges dispersed across the roadway network that stretches across the United States alone. Each bridge with a length of 20 feet or greater must be inspected at least once every 24 months, according to the Federal Highway Act (FHWA) of 1968. This research developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based framework for bridge and road inspection using drones with multiple sensors collecting capabilities. It is not sufficient to conduct inspections of bridges and roads using cameras alone, so the research team utilized an infrared (IR) camera along with a high-resolution optical camera. In many instances, the IR camera can provide more details to the interior structural damages of a bridge or a road surface than an optical camera, which is more suitable for inspecting damages on the surface of a bridge or a road. In addition, the drone inspection system is equipped with a minicomputer that runs Machine Learning algorithms. These algorithms enable autonomous drone navigation, image capture of the bridge or road structure, and analysis of the images. Whenever any damage is detected, the location coordinates are saved. Thus, the drone can self-operate and carry out the inspection process using advanced AI algorithms developed by the research team. The experimental results reveal the system can detect potholes with an average accuracy of 84.62% using the visible light camera and 95.12% using a thermal camera. This developed bridge and road inspection framework can save time, money, and lives by automating and having drones conduct major inspection operations in place of humans.
BİR GRAMER TERİMİ OLARAK OSMANLI DÖNEMİ TÜRKÇE GRAMER KİTAPLARINDA ‘MEF‘ÛL’ KAVRAMI
Authors: ERTÜRK Halil İbrahim
Published: December 2023

Anadolu sahasında kaleme alınan Osmanlı Dönemi’ne ait Türkçe gramer kitaplarında, tercih edilen terimler, ortaya koyulan tanımlar ve sınıflandırmalar noktasında Arap gramerciliğini örnek alma geleneği, Müyessiretü’l-Ulûm’dan (M 1530) itibaren başlayıp Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarına dek etkisini devam ettirmiştir. Bu etki; ses bilgisi, şekil bilgisi, cümle bilgisi gibi gramerin birçok alt dalında varlığını hissettirir. Özellikle cümle bilgisi alanında, cümlenin tanımı, cümlelerin yapı ve anlam bakımından tasnifi, cümle unsurlarının tanımı ve tasnifi hususunda kullanılan terimlerin seçimi noktasında Arap gramerciliğinin etkileri açıkça görülür.

Osmanlı Dönemi’nde kaleme alınmış Türkçe gramer kitaplarında, fiil cümlelerinde özne ve yüklemin dışında kalan diğer cümle unsurlarını karşılamak için kullanılan “meful” terimi de diğer pek çok gramer teriminde olduğu gibi Arap gramerciliğinden alınmış ve Cumhuriyet Dönemi’ne dek Türkçe gramer kitaplarında kullanılmaya devam etmiştir. Bu unsurun tanımlanması, adlandırılması, kapsamının belirlenmesi ve türlerinin sınıflandırılması noktasında, büyük oranda Arap gramerciliğinin yaklaşımları belirleyici olmuştur. Cumhuriyet’ten sonra kaleme alınan başlıca Türkçe gramer kitaplarında ise “meful” teriminin yerine çoğunlukla “tümleç” teriminin tercih edildiği görülür. Ancak Osmanlı döneminde yazılan Türkçe gramer kitaplarında kullanılan mefuller ile bugünkü Türkçe gramer kitaplarında yer verilen tümleçler arasında işlev, kapsam ve ayırt edicilik noktasında birtakım farklar olduğu dikkati çekmektedir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Müyessiretü’l-Ulûm’dan Cumhuriyet Dönemi’ne dek kaleme alınan, Osmanlı Dönemi’ne ait başlıca Türkçe gramer kitaplarında bir cümle unsuru olarak yer verilen meful teriminin tanımını, kapsamını ve bu unsurun türleri üzerine yapılan tasnifleri tespit etmek ve bu mefullerin bugünkü Türkçe gramer kitaplarındaki tümleçler ile işlev ve kapsam bağlamında mukayesesini yapmaktır. Çalışma kapsamında, Osmanlı Türkçesinin gramerini konu alan kavait ve nahiv konulu kitaplar arasından seçilen başlıca kaynak eserlerde mefuller üzerine yapılan tanım, tasnif, açıklama ve örneklendirmeler tespit edilerek sırasıyla aktarılmıştır. İkinci aşamada, örnek olarak verilen birkaç basit cümleden yararlanılarak mefullerin modern Türkçe gramer kitaplarındaki tümleçler ile işlev, kapsam ve sınırlılık açısından karşılaştırması yapılmıştır. Bu yöntemle, meful konusunda Osmanlı Dönemi’ne ait Türkçe gramerlerin yaklaşımları, bu yaklaşımların olumlu, olumsuz ve farklı yönleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Nukleare Zerstörungsarsenale und Versuche der Rüstungskontrolle seit den 1970er-Jahren
Authors: Schmidt Dorothea
Published: December 2023

Der Kalte Krieg war die Periode des Wettrüstens der USA und der UdSSR. Dennoch kam es seit 1972 auch zu Vereinbarungen über Rüstungskontrolle, die für die folgenden Jahrzehnte wegweisend wurden. Nach 1990 erfolgte eine erhebliche Reduzierung der atomaren und konventionellen Rüstung, aber um die Jahrtausendwende griff eine neue globale Welle der Aufrüstung um sich. Fünfzig Jahre nach den ersten großen Vereinbarungen über Rüstungskontrolle werden solche Abkommen inzwischen vielfach für »tot« erklärt. Wie kam es zur Dynamik der Aufrüstung ebenso wie zu den Versuchen ihrer Eindämmung? Dabei geht es nicht nur um die militärstrategischen, sondern auch um die ökonomischen Hintergründe. Hat das Mittel der Rüstungskontrolle heute ausgedient?

Published: December 2023

Sampah sudah menjadi masalah klasik dari dulu hingga sekarang yang cenderung semakin parah dari tahun ke tahun. Hal ini sejalan dengan terus bertambahnya jumlah penduduk sehingga berbanding lurus dengan volume sampah yang dihasilkan dari aktivitas manusia. Sampah yang dihasilkan didominasi oleh sampah organik sebanyak 60-70 % dan sisanya sampah non organik 30-40%. Sebagian dari sampah non organik yang dihasilkan dari aktivitas masyarakat banyak dibuang di sembarangan dan terbawa oleh aliran sungai. Hal ini berpotensi menyebabkan terjadinya penyumbatan aliran air, merusak ekosistem air dan berujung terjadinya banjir. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan untuk menangani permasalahan sampah disepanjang aliran sungai, namun belum maksimal. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah kesulitan mengumpulkan dan mengangkat sampah yang berada ditengah atau dipinggiran sungai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang dan membuat suatu alat yang dapat membantu dalam upaya membersihkan sampah di aliran sungai. Alat dirancang dengan menggunakan conveyor dengan bantuan motor sebagai penggerak sehingga sampah organik dan sampah non organik yang mengapung di sungai dapat terangkat dengan sendirinya. Alat ini dilengkapi dengan perangkap sampah yang dipasang disepanjang lebar sungai yang berfungsi untuk menahan sampah yang terbawa oleh arus. Sampah yang terkumpul dibawa ke area conveyor lalu ditarik keatas dan sampah akan masuk kedalam tempat pembuangannya. Penentuan dimensi pada perancangan alat ini menggunakan pendekatan antropometri karena pengoperasiaannya masih melibatkan manusia sebagai operatornya.

Published: December 2023

Frozen assets in the country may be alleviated via wasiyyah services, which has long been considered a possible solution in Malaysia. However, despite the relevance of wasiyyah services in Malaysia, the penetration rate remains low. Self-determination and satisfaction in patronizing wasiyyah services are the focus of this research. There was also an investigation into how religiosity moderates the relationship between self-determination and satisfaction. The research framework consists of 8 hypotheses that predict four direct relationships and four moderation effects. The model used the principle of self-determination to explain the relationships. This research focuses on Muslim consumers in Malaysia who have already patronized wasiyyahservices. The data was gathered using an online survey, and 180 valid data were used to validate the study model. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS v27 and SmartPLS 4.0. The results stated that SDT constructs which are autonomy and relatedness have significant and positive and influence over satisfaction in patronizing wasiyyah services. However, competence did not have positive and significant influence over satisfaction. Furthermore, no moderation effect of religiosity could be found in this study. Findings suggest that religiosity has not moderated the relationship between SDT constructs and satisfaction. It is intended that this research can provide insights for industry players to enhance and develop sustainable marketing strategies to entice more Muslims to utilize the wasiyyah services, which might ultimately help in resolving the frozen asset problems.
أهمية لغة الجسد في التعامل مع الأطفال في ضوء السنة النبوية مقاربة سيكولوجية
Authors: Samarh Samer
Published: December 2023

This academic research explores how the Prophet's Sunnah can be used to convey nonverbal communication, highlighting its significant impact on the psychological development of children -a crucial group in society. The researcher argues that key stakeholders, such as parents and educators, may not have the necessary expertise in this area, which justifies the selection of this topic. The researcher collected hadiths of the Prophet that had implicit or explicit indications of nonverbal communication as a part of the inductive method. Later, he utilized the analytical method by referring to various sources from the Prophetic Sunnah and psychological literature. Research has revealed that touching and wiping a child can create feelings of affection and comfort, as well as prevent behavioural problems in adolescence. Also, body language can be used as an effective teaching method that conveys more information than words alone.

Eksplorasi Kontekstual Bagi Pengukuhan Hafazan Ayat Mutashabihat Lafaz Dalam Kalangan Pelajar Tahfiz
Authors: Ahmad Abd Muhaimin
Published: December 2023

Ayat mutashabihat lafaz merupakan ayat al-Quran yang berulang dengan lafaz yang hampir sama tetapi berbeza sama ada secara pendahuluan (taqdim) atau pengakhiran (ta’khir), penambahan (ziyadah) atau pengurangan (naqs) dan penukaran (ibdal) huruf atau kalimah. Mutashabihat lafaz yang berlaku ini sering berlaku dalam satu kisah yang sama di dalam al-Quran, namun ia berbeza dari sudut surah dan juga ayat.

Published: December 2023

The presence of Islām on the internet is remarkable, as Muslims are utilising online platforms for various purposes related to their religion. This includes promoting Islām, expanding their knowledge about their faith, and engaging with fellow believers through virtual interactions. The research question addressed in this study emerged from a growing concern identified in 2020 which highlighted the insufficient integration of Qur’ānic stories into educational curricula. Education plays a crucial role in nurturing individuals who will contribute to the advancement of civilisation. However, numerous studies indicate that while online learning can enhance hard skills effectively, it may be less effective when it comes to developing soft skills. Islāmic education plays a crucial role in the cultivation of character and personality, enabling individuals to establish a thriving civilisation while acknowledging present-day obstacles. The objective of this paper is to critically examine the challenges associated with disseminating various forms of knowledge in the digital age, all while upholding the principles espoused by the Prophets as illustrated in the Qur’ān. These include concepts such as taʿlīm (instruction), tadrīs (teaching), taʾdīb (disciplining), and tarbīyyah (nurturing). Given that addressing contemporary challenges necessitates adopting appropriate methodologies which may involve both digital and traditional means of learning, it can be argued that expanding our understanding of these Qur’ānic concepts will ultimately lead to advancements within Islāmic educational practices. This study heavily relies on relevant scholarly sources from libraries. Consequently, this article showcases findings that hold relevance not only for students but also for broader audiences.

The publication of the Braille Quran in Malaysia has undergone several crucial phases. The Malaysian Islamic Association for the Blind (PERTIS) first published it in 1997. After a period of use, issues of inconsistency between the Braille Quran text and the printed Quran text used by the typical population emerged. One of the focus areas of inconsistency was in the aspect of Rasm. In 2022, JAKIM, in collaboration with KDN, PERTIS, and USIM, attempted to address this issue by publishing a new Braille Quran with various improvements and modifications, including from the perspective of Rasm. This study aims to examine the text of the Braille Quran in Malaysia from the aspect of Rasm and identify its status. The method of document analysis is applied in this qualitative study. The findings indicate that the features of the Uthmani script have been implemented appropriately in the Braille writing. However, the Imla'i script writing method is also used when there are constraints and issues in the writing processAbstrakPenerbitan al-Quran Braille di Malaysia telah melalui beberapa fasa penting. Persatuan Orang-orang Cacat Penglihatan Islam Malaysia (PERTIS) telah menerbitkannya buat pertama kali pada tahun 19997. Setelah beberapa tempoh ia digunakan, timbul isu ketidakselarasan antara teks al-Quran Braille dengan teks al-Quran bercetak yang digunakan oleh golongan tipikal. Antara sudut ketidakselarasan yang diberi tumpuan adalah pada aspek Rasm. JAKIM pada tahun 2022 dengan kerjasama KDN, PERTIS dan USIM telah berusaha untuk menyelesaikan isu ini dengan menerbitkan al-Quran Braille yang baharu yang mengandungi beberapa penambahbaikan dan modifikasi termasuklah daripada sudut Rasm. Kajian ini dibuat bagi meneliti teks Mashaf al-Quran Braille Malaysia daripada aspek Rasm dan mengenalpasti statusnya. Kaedah analisis dokumen diaplikasi dalam kajian kualitatif ini. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan, bahawa ciri-ciri Rasm ‘Uthmani telah diaplikasi pada kadar yang sesuai dengan tulisan Braille. Walau bagaimanapun kaedah penulisan Rasm Imla’i turut diguna pakai apabila terdapat kekangan dan masalah dalam kaedah penulisan.
CASH WAQF LINKED DINFRA (CWL-FRA) AS WAQF INNOVATION MODEL INTEGRATED WITH INFRASTRUCTURE INSTRUMENT FOR NATIONAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Authors: Wijaya Rusdiana Priatna
Published: December 2023

Cash waqf is a form of contemporary waqf that has great potential in the modern world. In Indonesia, despite its potential of 180 trillion per year, cash waqf collection, management, and distribution are not optimal. Nonetheless, the infrastructure sector in Indonesia faces obstacles, particularly in terms of funding. The innovation of the CWLFRA (Cash Waqf Linked DINFRA) model is, therefore, a solution to these two issues, as the proposed model is the result of an integration between efforts to optimize cash waqf and infrastructure financing via the Infrastructure Investment Fund (DINFRA). In this CWL-FRA innovation, waqf funds will be allocated to the mauquf 'alaih from the profits of infrastructure investment funds, which will become a source of long-term usable assets. As a result, the purpose of this academic paper is to develop a model capable of bolstering the ecosystem of Islamic social financial institutions and maximizing the potential achievement of cash waqf in Indonesia as a means of implementing sustainable finance and an effective instrument in reviving national economy through infrastructure development. In addition, this study seeks to determine the viability of the potential for developing the productivity of cash waqf in an effort to increase the effectiveness of achieving cash waqf to support economic sustainability with infrastructure potential. Nine respondents representing academicians and expert practitioners from both the waqf and infrastructure sectors filled out questionnaires to collect data. According to the results of the Delphi test, all respondents believed that there was a relationship between the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) indicators, indicating that this model is implementable. Moreover, based on the level of agreement of respondents, this model has the potential to contribute positively to national economic recovery, become a sustainable source of social funds, optimize the potential of waqf in Indonesia, strengthen the ecosystem of waqf social finance institutions, and improve the quality of management and maintenance of Indonesia's infrastructure. These findings demonstrate that integrating financial waqf with existing public infrastructure could positively affect the sustainability of national economic development. The novel aspect of this paper is the proposed cash waqf management system, which can serve as a useful reference for policymakers and waqf institutions seeking to develop a more effective waqf concept in terms of collection, administration, and distribution. Consequently, this study aims to demonstrate the potential for cash waqf, which can be integrated with DINFRA's product through the innovation of the CWL-FRA model, to become an investment instrument and offer a diversity of options to the waqf community.
