This study explores the challenges and opportunities of creating effective Islamic branding strategies in the motivation & preferences of Muslim customers. The study begins by reviewing the existing literature on Islamic branding and the factors that have contributed to its emergence. Next, the study examines the challenges faced by companies in creating effective Islamic branding strategies, including issues related to authenticity, transparency, and cultural sensitivity. Finally, the study explores the opportunities available to companies in the Islamic branding market, including the potential for growth and the ability to reach a broader market of ethical and socially conscious consumers. The findings suggest that while the Islamic branding market offers significant opportunities for companies, it also poses significant challenges. To create effective Islamic branding strategies, companies must be authentic and transparent in their adherence to Islamic values, while being culturally sensitive and aware of Muslim consumers' diverse needs and preferences. Additionally, companies must recognize that the success of Islamic branding is not solely dependent on the appeal to Muslim consumers, but also on the ability to appeal to a broader market of ethical and socially conscious consumers. Penelitian ini menggali tantangan dan peluang dalam menciptakan strategi Islamic branding yang efektif dalam motivasi dan preferensi pelanggan Muslim. Penelitian ini dimulai dengan meninjau literatur yang ada tentang branding Islami dan faktor-faktor yang telah berkontribusi pada kemunculannya. Selanjutnya, penelitian ini mengkaji tantangan yang dihadapi oleh perusahaan dalam menciptakan strategi branding Islami yang efektif, termasuk masalah-masalah terkait dengan otentisitas, transparansi, dan sensitivitas budaya. Terakhir, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi peluang yang tersedia bagi perusahaan di pasar branding Islami, termasuk potensi pertumbuhan dan kemampuan untuk mencapai pasar yang lebih luas dari konsumen yang etis dan peduli sosial. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Islamic branding menawarkan peluang signifikan bagi perusahaan, ia juga menimbulkan tantangan yang signifikan. Untuk menciptakan strategi branding Islami yang efektif, perusahaan harus menjadi otentik dan transparan dalam pematuhan nilai-nilai Islami mereka, sambil sensitif secara budaya dan menyadari kebutuhan dan preferensi yang beragam dari konsumen Muslim. Selain itu, perusahaan juga harus menyadari bahwa kesuksesan branding Islami tidak semata-mata bergantung pada daya tarik kepada konsumen Muslim, tetapi juga pada kemampuan untuk menarik pasar yang lebih luas dari konsumen yang etis dan peduli sosial.

Published: August 2024

The practice of money politics is a phenomenon that often occurs in general elections in Indonesia, including in the face of the 2024 election. Before voting is carried out by voters, during the campaign period, there is a provision of basic necessities to constituents to gain their support. This article tries to formulate the reasons behind the still rampant practice of money politics in holding simultaneous elections in 2024. The method of literature research is used by referring to various related articles. The findings of this article show that the practice of money politics in Indonesian elections has become part of a culture that is difficult to eliminate and has become so ingrained, that it will damage the level of public or constituent trust in the candidate and party concerned. High political costs also open the door wide for corrupt practices that tend to justify all means through the party's transactional approach.

Authors: Muhammad Muhammad , Putri Mutia Hafina , Kristiawan Ary Chandra
Published: August 2024

This research evaluates the efforts of the South Kalimantan Provincial Government in eliminating floating latrines in the Martapura River. A normative approach is employed, examining laws, government regulations, and local policies underpinning the floating latrine eradication program, as well as analyzing its implementation and impact on the environment. The prevalent use of floating latrines by the community has led to river water pollution and exacerbated sanitation conditions along riverbank settlements. The innovative "Gebrak’s" program initiated by the Banjar Regency since 2016 aims to improve sanitation and public health by eliminating floating latrines. However, until 2023, although the program successfully removed over a thousand floating latrines, paradoxically, some residents in the area have reconstructed them. This has resulted in approximately 8,000 floating latrines still existing in South Kalimantan, posing a significant challenge to achieving Healthy City status and Open Defecation Free (ODF) status by 2025. Hence, collaboration between the government, the community, and relevant government agencies is crucial to improving environmental quality and public health in riverbank areas.

Published: August 2024

Anomalous heat transfer intensification in turbulent separated air flow over a long groove of moderate depth made in a plate inclined at an angle of 45°to the freestream is revealed both experimentally and numerically. The region under investigation includes a rectangle heated to 100°C by saturated water vapor. The Reynolds number varied from 103to 3×104. Using the gradient heatmetry the twofold increase, as compared with the case of a flat plate, of the heat transfer coefficient on the groove bottom is established at the Reynolds number Re = 3×104. The relative Nusselt number in different regions of the groove is determined both in the physical experiment and in the RANS calculations with the application of multiblock computational technologies and the SST model in the VP2/3 software package. The results are in good agreement in the turbulent flow regime at Re = (5, 10, and 30) ×103.
Analysis of the flow structure in a supersonic channel with cavity
Authors: Seleznev R. К.
Published: August 2024

The results of numerical study of supersonic flow in a channel with cavity are given. The calculated oscillation spectra are analyzed using the fast Fourier transform. Two types of oscillatory modes can be distinguished in the resulting periodic self-oscillatory regime. The first type of the modes corresponds to acoustic vibrations caused by the passage of sound waves along the cavity and calculated using the modified Rossiter formula. The second type of the modes corresponds to the frequencies of flow-rate oscillations caused by mass transfer between the cavity and the external flow. It is shown that the flow structure is modified when fuel is supplied in front of the cavity. Active combustion occurs in the layer of mixing fuel and oxygen from air. The flow pattern demonstrates the onset of Kelvin–Helmholtz instability on the interface between the main flow and the reacted gas. It is shown that an increase in the supplied fuel pressure leads to a decrease in the oscillation frequency and an increase in the characteristic size of oscillations.

Published: August 2024

Spatial skills are important for studying geometric shapes. People who have good spatial abilities can easily imagine objects in three dimensions. Factors that influence differences in student abilities include gender differences. The aim of this research is to describe students' spatial abilities in terms of gender differences. The type of research used is quantitative-qualitative research. Spatial ability test results data are calculated and presented in quantitative form and analyzed qualitatively. This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 3 Ambon class X Science 1 with a total of 36 students consisting of 12 male students and 24 female students. In determining the subject of this research, a purposive sampling technique was used, namely taking data sources with certain considerations. The research subjects selected to be interviewed were 6 students with the assessment criteria for spatial ability test questions consisting of 1 male student and 1 female student with high spatial ability, 1 male student and 1 female student with moderate spatial ability, and 1 male student with moderate spatial ability. male and 1 female student with low spatial abilities. The largest percentage of student test results are in the low category. Based on the results of the spatial ability test, it shows that in the element of spatial perception, male subjects are more likely to meet the indicators of the ability to identify objects vertically and horizontally even though the position of the object is manipulated. Meanwhile, female subjects tend to use their spatial abilities as indicators of the ability to distinguish lines, horizontal and vertical planes in spatial figures. In the spatial visualization element, male subjects are more likely to fulfill the indicators than female subjects regarding stacks of unit cubes whose position or shape has been manipulated and visualizing stacks of unit cubes from more than one point of view. For the element of mental rotation, male subjects tend to be more capable than female subjects of rotating, imagining rotation and describing a flat shape or spatial structure correctly after rotation. However, elements of spatial orientation of female subjects are more likely to determine the appearance of objects from different perspectives than male subjects. In the spatial relations element, male subjects are more likely to determine the relationship of an object with other objects than female subjects.

In order to optimize students’ literacy and numeracy skills, the Indonesian government implemented Minimum Competency Asessment or Asesmen Kompetensi Minimum (AKM) for students in primary and secondary school. Therefore, it is essential to investigate schools’ readiness in facing the AKM. This study describes the planning, implementation, and evaluation of mathematics learning as efforts in optimizing students’ numeracy skills to face the AKM at a public junior high school in Klaten Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The numeracy components consists of content (numbers, measurement and geometry, data and uncertainty, and algebra), context (personal, socio-cultural, and scientific), and cognitive process (understanding, applying, and reasoning). This research is a qualitative study with a case-study approach. Data collection in this study uses observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The data analysis technique used in this research is an interactive flow model through stages of data collection. The study results indicate three findings. First, teachers prepare learning media, worksheet-books, and mathematics textbooks to support learning. The tutoring program for grade VIII focuses on solving numeracy problems, which is supported by an AKM book. However, teachers still need to develop a specific lesson plan and student worksheet, which contains problems with numeracy aspects. Second, during the learning implementation, the school has provided good facilities, teachers use learning media and student worksheet-books containing problems that only partially incorporate numeracy components. Third, teachers have conducted assessments and created scoring guidelines in the learning evaluation stage. However, the evaluation shows that the practice provided does not include problems with numeracy components.

Authors: Santos Ruben , Pires Diogo
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal conditions are the leading cause of disability, requiring continuous outcome measurement, including the utilization of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). OBJECTIVE: The aims of the study were a) to characterize the use PROMs by Portuguese physiotherapists in patients with musculoskeletal conditions; b) to analyze the associated factors of their use and; c) to identify the barriers and facilitators to their implementation. METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was carried out with musculoskeletal physiotherapists working in Portugal. Closed questions were used to describe the use of PROMs. The factors associated with the non-use of PROMs were analysed through logistic regression models (p= 0.05). Barriers and facilitators were assessed through open questions and analyzed using thematic analysis. RESULTS: One hundred and fifty-six physiotherapists answered the online survey. Most physiotherapists do not use outcome measures consistently and physical tests are often chosen (70.5%) over PROMs (17.3%). The work sector (p= 0.01; p= 0.015; p= 0.009). the workplace stimulus (p= 0.001) and the physiotherapists’ knowledge about PROMs (p= 0.017) were identified as factors associated with the non-use of PROMs. Barriers and facilitators to the use of PROMs are related to physiotherapists’ skills, the patients’ characteristics, the workplace conditions, and the instruments’ characteristics. CONCLUSION: This study showed the poor use of PROMs by musculoskeletal physiotherapists and identified the associated factors, barriers, and facilitators that should be considered to increase its future use by musculoskeletal physiotherapists in Portugal.

BACKGROUND:

Necroptosis is a caspase-independent regulated necrotic cell death modality that elicits strong adaptive immune responses, and has the potential to activate antitumor immunity. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical effects on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which are closely associated with the prognosis and immune regulation of OSCC patients.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to identify a novel necroptosis-related lncRNAs signature to predict the prognosis and immune response of OSCC patients and provide patients with anti-tumor drug selection through bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments.

METHODS:

A series of analyses, including differential lncRNA screening, survival analysis, Cox regression analysis, ROC analysis, nomogram prediction, enrichment analysis, tumor-infiltrating immune cells, drug sensitivity analysis, and consensus cluster analysis, were performed to determine and validate the prognostic value of necroptosis-associated lncRNAs signature in OSCC. And real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to determine the expression levels of these lncRNAs.

RESULTS:

This signature including 5 lncRNAs (AC099850.3, StarD4-AS1, AC011978.1, LINC01503, CDKN2A-DT) in OSCC associated with necroptosis were established and verified by bioinformatics. Further, ROC, K-M, univariate/multivariate Cox regression, and nomogram analysis were used to evaluate the model’s features for OSCC prognosis. Using multiple bioinformatics techniques, the levels of tumor-infiltrating immune cells, immune checkpoints and semi-inhibitory concentrations showed significant differences across risk subtypes. By consensus cluster analysis, there were significant differences between clusters in survival, immune checkpoint expression, clinicopathological correlation, and tumor immunity. RT-qPCR showed that AC099850.3, AC011978.1, LINC01503 were up-regulated, STARD4-AS1 and CDKN2A-DT were down-regulated in OSCC cell lines compared with human normal oral keratinoid cell line.

CONCLUSION:

We established 5-NRLs markers, which is useful for assessing OSCC immune response and prognosis, recommending personalized antitumor drugs. The expression level of 5-NRLs in OSCC was identified in vitro, and the results preliminarily verified this model. And this study would generate new insights for future experimental research.

Authors: Alper Ay Ferda
Published: August 2024

Background

Motivation plays an important role in helping humans take action and work effectively and efficiently. It is important to understand the relationship between work motivation and productivity and to examine the factors associated with them.

Objective

This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of publications on motivation and productivity between 1953 and 2024 and to determine the main findings, most popular variables, and methodologies in these publications.

Methods

Data were downloaded from the Scopus database and 3363 articles on the subject published between 1954 and 2024 were examined. A comprehensive bibliometric analysis was performed using the Biblioshiny application of the Bibliometrix package and the VOSviewer program.

Results

The study showed an increase in work motivation and productivity publications. The USA, the most cited, collaborative, and productive country, leads all studies. The study presents the most productive authors in this field, the most published journals, the most productive countries, the most used keywords by authors, and trending topics.

Conclusions

Developing appropriate working conditions and strategies that will increase the motivation of humans can maximize their potential and productivity. Especially psychology and management, studies are carried out in many fields such as education, health, and engineering. This research provides future researchers with a roadmap to in-depth exploration of the field and potential advances.
Is the tail wagging the dog? Understanding the value of incentives in peer review
Authors: Fund Sven , Dyke Gareth
Published: August 2024

Incentives for efforts expended in peer review remain controversial, as one of us [ https://www.morressier.com/o/event/655b8f316515150019d5f90b/sessions/6569ca7c8d0e640013427ec3?eventId=655b8f316515150019d5f90b ] reported at the recent APE Meeting in Berlin 2024. Publishers and researchers have different views on if, and how, peer review should and could be rewarded. We surveyed researchers regularly performing peer review for journals as well as editors and journal managers who assign articles in order to look at the use of incentives and how these influence behavior. Incentives for peer review remain relatively rare overall: Results show that more than 80% of editorial board members said they ‘did not reward’ or ‘rewarded in less than 25% of cases’, while, at the same time, the same proportion of respondents felt that rewarding peer reviewers would be a good idea. The majority of our respondents felt that giving ‘something was better than nothing’ and that a token incentive would help. In terms of actual rewards, APC tokens are both wanted (52%) and awarded (42%) while certificates are given far more (43%) than they are actually wanted (12%). Surprisingly, money is given out far less (4%) than wanted (27%); this reward is not actually desired as much as one might expect.

Published: August 2024

Background: The Huntington’s Disease (HD) Everyday Functioning (Hi-DEF) is a new patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument designed to measure the impact of cognitive impairment on daily functioning in the early stages of HD. Objective: To assess the measurement properties and finalize item content of the Hi-DEF. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational psychometric validation study was conducted among individuals with early stages of HD at 9 US centers of excellence. Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT) analysis of the initial draft version of the Hi-DEF (47 items) and subscales (i.e., ‘Home’, ‘At work’, ‘Driving’, and ‘Communication’) was conducted to examine measurement properties including sample-to-scale targeting, suitability of response scale (ordering of response thresholds), scale cohesiveness (item fit), local independence, and person fit. Results: 151 participants (mean age 47 years (SD 12), 59% female) were included. Seven items were removed based on dependency and item fit. The remaining 40-item version of the Hi-DEF demonstrated good measurement properties. Across the four subscales, targeting ranged from 49–70% (72% full scale), reliability ascertained by person separation index ranged from 0.53–0.87 (0.92 full scale), response scales were ordered for 25–100% of items (75% full scale), 0–12% items displayed misfit (2% full scale), and 0–1% (2% full scale) item pairs displayed dependency. Conclusions: Our study supports the psychometric integrity of the Hi-DEF as a reliable and valid new PRO instrument designed to assess the impact of cognitive impairment on daily functioning in the early stages of HD. Future work will evaluate the external validity and utility in clinical trial applications.
Semiautomatic Exploration of Conceptual Design Spaces through Parametric Shape Variability and Additive Manufacturing

Published: August 2024

Design ideation activities that involve the manipulation of geometry rely heavily on manual input. For feasibility reasons, the generation of design alternatives must often be limited, particularly when these alternatives need to be prototyped and tested. This paper describes a conceptual design strategy that leverages variational three-dimensional geometry to automatically generate a large number of design alternatives from a template model and their corresponding physical prototypes for evaluation and testing. In our approach, 3D geometric variations are produced automatically from a single design concept modeled parametrically, which are then used to generate 3D-printable files. Our method is suitable for design scenarios where real-world testing is preferred over virtual simulation and requires designers to consider a concept idea as a family of solutions, instead of a single design option. Our strategy enables an effective exploration of conceptual design spaces in highly constrained situations and facilitates parallel prototyping, which is known to produce better results than serial prototyping. We demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method through a case study that involves the design of an instrument for ophthalmic surgery for extracting an intraocular lens (IOL) from the eye. Using our approach, nine unique concept families comprising a total of 150 designs were rapidly and successfully prototyped and tested.
