Published: July 2023

Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of servant leadership and perceived organisational support on organisational citizenship behaviour through the mediator of lecturer commitment. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research adopts a quantitative approach. Lecturers from private universities in regional higher education service institutions (LLDIKTI) III DKI Jakarta, Indonesia formed the research population. Purposive sampling was employed as the sampling technique. Data collection involved surveys using a questionnaire as the research instrument. Data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS. Findings: The results demonstrate that servant leadership and perceived organisational support positively and significantly influence lecturer commitment and organisational citizenship behaviour. However, lecturer commitment does not significantly mediate servant leadership or perceived organisational support and organisational citizenship behaviour. Research limitations/Implications: Further research could examine other variables that can mediate servant leadership and perceived organisational support on organisational citizenship behaviour. Practical implications: The managerial implication suggests that university management should prioritise servant leadership and lecturer commitment to enhance lecturers’ performance of extra roles (organisational citizenship behaviour). Originality/Value: This study shows that lecturer commitment does not significantly mediate servant leadership or perceived organisational support and organisational citizenship behaviour.

Do Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Practices Enhance Malaysian Public-Listed Companies Performance?
Authors: Lee Li-Chen , Lau Wee-Yeap , Yip Tien-Ming
Published: July 2023

This study examines whether there is a positive relationship between Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) disclosure and financial performance, as measured by Tobin’s Q. Using a sample of 59 listed firms under the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (F4GBM) Index from 2014 to 2021, our panel regression analyses show: First, ESG has a significant positive impact on company performance. Second, Social Disclosure (SOC) positively impacts financial performance. As a policy suggestion, the government must have a complete mechanism to monitor and promote the ESG blueprint. In addition, the government should develop programmes that are pro-ESG by giving tax exemption to firms that implement ESG strategies, for example, increasing the publicity of the Green Investment Tax Credit (GITA) to promote the development of green technology in Malaysia.
Digitalisation: The Effectiveness of e-Learning in Capital Market Education
Authors: Arif Shahkila Mohd , Ahmad Tarmizi Mohd Firdaus
Published: July 2023

In today’s digital economic landscape, financial literacy has become increasingly important in making informed financial decisions. To meet this growing need, Securities Industry Development Corporation (SIDC) has been entrusted to develop a targeted e-Learning capacity building initiative where everyone could participate without the limitations of cost, time and location. However, there has been no study to date exploring the effectiveness of the e-Learning programme in the field of the capital market education. Hence, this preliminary study aims to gain insight into the effectiveness of capital market e-Learning programme by adopting a convergent parallel mixed-method approach, collecting both quantitative and qualitative data based on Kirkpatrick's model (Level 2) to measure the level of knowledge transfer and satisfaction of learning among participants. The finding showed a positive knowledge transfer, with a mean score of 25.5% and the survey questionnaire submitted by 1,423 respondents revealed that the average course rating was 4.4 out of 5.0. Hence, this indicates the effectiveness of the programme. It is hoped that the findings can be used as a benchmark, reference or guidance for capital market training providers to develop a successful e-Learning programme.
Effects of Government Expenditure on the Poverty Level: A Nonlinear ARDL Approach
Authors: Saharudin Yusoff , Law Siong Hook , Norashidah Mohamed Nor , Wana Ismail Normaz
Published: July 2023

The argument on the behaviour of government expenditure toward reducing the poverty level is still controversial among economists and policymakers. This study investigates the role of government development expenditure in alleviating poverty in Malaysia. The study employs a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model from 1970 to 2019 using annual time series data. The bounds test of the NARDL specification suggests the presence of cointegration among the variables, namely the poverty level, development expenditure, gross domestic product per capita, inflation rate, physical capital and human capital. The empirical findings demonstrate that an increase in development expenditure is an insignificant determinant of poverty, but the reductions in development expenditure significantly eradicate the poverty level in the long run. For robustness checks, the share of development expenditure on gross domestic product is used in the estimation. The findings show that all development expenditure has little to no impact on lowering poverty levels over the long and short runs. The Malaysian government should therefore consider how crucial it is to allocate public funds effectively and make sure that the emphasis on spreading development gains across all economic sectors must have an influence on the poverty level.

Convalescent plasma samples that can be collected from individuals after
the resolution of infection and vaccination are an invaluable source of
neutralization antibodies against the virus. Although plaque reduction
assay with replicative virus is the gold standard of analyzing
neutralization potency of convalescent plasma, it is a technically
demanding procedure requiring high biosafety level (BSL-3/4) laboratory
and equipment. The abundance of neutralizing antibodies varies among
individuals, therefore fast and reliable methods to identify
neutralization potency of plasma samples are needed. In this paper,
G-protein deficient vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-ΔG) carrying a
C-terminal 21 amino acid truncated severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Spike protein was generated for pseudovirus
neutralization assay. We analyzed SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing potency of
vaccinated human convalescent plasma samples (n=13) and plasma samples
of healthy people (n=2). Human convalescent plasma samples were examined
against the ancestral Wuhan strain and two SARS-CoV-2 variants (B.1.1.7,
and B.1.351) using a VSV-ΔG-Sdel21 pseudovirus and Vero E6 cell line.
Neutralization values against pseudotyped virus were compared to those
of plaque reduction assay against authentic virus. The serum
neutralizing titer of convalescent plasma measured by pseudovirus assay
has a good correlation with that measured by plaque reduction assay (R
= 0.7). The pseudovirus assay is safer and timesaving
than the replicative virus-based plaque reduction assay, and has several
advantages in evaluating a new vaccine, newly emergent variants, and
approved vaccine efficacy against variants of concern as well as in
viral fusion-focused treatment analysis that can be performed under
BSL-2 conditions.

Published: July 2023

Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) are very aggressive neoplasms seen in
infantile age groups. A high index of suspicion is needed for early
diagnosis. They are small round cell tumors with characteristic loss of
INI -1 expression. Here we present a case series of 6 rhabdoid tumors
diagnosed over 2 years, of which 4 of them presented as soft tissue
swelling neck and chest wall. All of them had a very short duration of
presentation and despite timely diagnosis, 4 of them progressed while on
treatment and resulted in mortality.
Construction of a Lung Adenocarcinoma Prognostic Model Utilizing Serine and Glycine Metabolism-Related Genes
Authors: Qi Dongdong , Liu Chengjun , Zhang Zuwang , Liu Xun , Kang Poming
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to develop a prognostic model for lung adenocarcinoma
(LUAD) using serine/glycine metabolism-related genes (SGMGs) and explore
the correlation between SGMGs and LUAD prognosis, as well as the
variations in immune landscape between high-risk (HR) and low-risk (LR)
LUAD patients. The researchers analyzed the TCGA-LUAD dataset and
identified two subtypes with different SGMG expression levels. They used
differential analysis and Cox regression to construct a RiskScore based
on 13 genes and validated it using the GSE72094 dataset. Patients in the
LR group exhibited superior overall survival, and immune features such
as aDCs, iDSs, mast cells, neutrophils, HLA, and type II IFN were more
abundant in this group, indicating a greater likelihood of benefiting
from immunotherapy. In contrast, NK cells, APC co-inhibition, and MHC-I
were more common in the HR group, which may be more sensitive to
chemotherapy drugs such as Cisplatin, Oxaliplatin, and Nilotinib, and
more likely to derive benefits from chemotherapy interventions. The
study concluded that the RiskScore was a promising biomarker that can be
used to distinguish LUAD prognosis, mutation features, immune features,
and sensitivity to immunotherapy and chemotherapy drugs.
The Clinical and Economic Impact of Extended Battery Longevity of a Substernal Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
Authors: Knight Bradley , Clementy Nicolas , Amin Anish , Birgersdotter-Green Ulrika , Roukoz Henri , Holbrook Reece , Manlucu Jaimie
Published: July 2023

Background and Aims: The extravascular implantable cardioverter
defibrillator (EV ICD) has an extended projected battery longevity
compared to the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator
(S-ICD). This study used modeling to characterize the need for generator
changes, long-term complications, and overall costs for both the EV ICD
and S-ICD in healthcare systems of various countries .Methods: Battery longevity data were modelled using a Markov
model from averages reported in device labelling for the S-ICD and with
engineering estimates based on real life usage from EV ICD Pivotal Study
patient data to introduce variability. Clinical demographic data of
recipients were derived from published literature. The primary outcomes
were defined as the number of generator replacement surgeries,
complications, and total healthcare system costs due to battery
depletion over the expected lifetime of patients receiving EV ICD or
S-ICD therapy. A one-way sensitivity analysis of the model was performed
for the US healthcare system. Results: Average modelled battery
longevity was determined to be 7.3 years for the S-ICD compared to 11.8
years for the EV ICD. The probability of a complication after a
replacement procedure was 1.4%, with an operative mortality rate of
0.02%. The use of an EV ICD was associated with 1.4-1.6 fewer
replacements on average over an expected patient lifetime as compared to
an S-ICD and a 24.3-26.0% reduction in cost. The US sensitivity
analysis found use of an EV ICD resulted in a reduction in replacement
surgeries of greater than 1 (1.1-1.6) along with 5-figure cost savings
in all scenarios ($18,602-$40,948). Conclusion: The longer
projected battery life of the EV ICD compared to the S-ICD has the
potential to meaningfully reduce long-term morbidity and healthcare
resources related to generator changes from the perspective of multiple
diverse healthcare systems.
Cystic Fibrosis Screen-Positive Neonates with One Pathogenic Variant Still Warrant Sweat Testing
Authors: Rock Michael , Baker Mei , Farrell Philip
Published: July 2023

We believe that the data in this letter clearly demonstrate that even
with CFTR2 expansion to 719 variants, striving to achieve equity of
early diagnosis of CF via screening requires states to perform a sweat
test in all infants with a high IRT level and one identified CFTR
variant. This recommended policy can be debated but sweat testing
overload should not be the argued as the barrier and CF specialists need
to recognize that CFTR2 may never include all of the very rare,
“private” pathogenic variants nor will next generation sequencing
cover the structural variants such as deletions and duplications.
Characterization of ESBL producing E. coli from chicken feces by phenotypic methods and MALDI-TOF MS
Authors: Sipahi Nisa , Cevik Yasemin Numanoglu
Published: July 2023

E.coli from broiler is a reservoir for ESBL (extended spectrum
beta-lactamase) and presence of ESBL is a growing concern for antibiotic
resistance. The aim of the study was to investigate and characterize
ESBL and AmpC beta-lactamases in E. coli with traditional and
new-generation methods. As well as biochemical analyses, the
identification of isolates was performed with the MALDI-TOF MS. Within
the scope of phyloproteomic analysis, all components of MALDI-TOF
MS-based Principal Component Analysis (PCA) (dendrogram, scatter
plotting, composit corelation index (CCI) and variance,) were applied.
In the present study which is the first report for Duzce (Türkiye),
28.6% of 122 CFEC (chicken feces E. coli) isolates were identified as
CFEC -ESBL. blaCTX-M, blaCTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-15, blaSHV, blaTEM,
blaOXA-10, AmpC, blaCIT, blaMOX, blaSHV, blaCIT, and blaMOX genes were
explored with PCR and blaCTX-M-1 gene was detected with the highest rate
(68.5%). At least one of the resistance genes was detected in the
phenotype screening tests, except one of the isolates (CFEC-ESBL-90). On
the other hand CFEC-ESBL-38 contained only bla CTX-M-15 and the fact
that this isolate was the only atypical ESBL strain with indole (-) and
lac (-) characteristics among all isolates explains the highest variance
(41%) and the most different from other PCA components. Also, this
isolate had a high degree of similarity (87%; CCI) with the other
isolate (CFEC-ESBL-90), which had low similarity to CFEC-ESBLs. As a
result, phyloproteomic analyses with MALDI-TOF MS are considered to be
beneficial in the characterization of phenotypic bacterial behavior.
Bioimpedance spectroscopy characterization of osmotic stress processes in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME-CFS) blood samples
Authors: Fernández Alberto Olmo , Rodríguez Sara Martínez , Fernández Daniel Martín , Martín-Garrido Isabel
Published: July 2023

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/ CFS) is a
disabling, chronic, multi-system and complex disease. Currently, there
are no specific laboratory tests to directly [diagnose
ME/CFS](https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/symptoms-diagnosis/diagnosis.html).
In this work we study the use of impedance spectroscopy as a potential
technique for the diagnosis of this disease. A specific device for the
electrical characterization of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was
designed and implemented. Impedance spectroscopy measurements in the
range from 1 Hz to 500 MHz were made after osmotic stress of the samples
with sodium chloride solution 1M. The evolution in time after the
osmotic stress at two specific frequencies (1.36 kHz and 154 kHz) was
analysed. The device showed its sensitivity to the presence of cells and
the evolution of the osmotic process. Higher values of impedance were
measured for 1.36 kHz in ME/CFS patients compared to control samples.
Results help to further understand the relation of bioimpedance
measurements with ME/CFS samples physical properties and osmotic
processes.
Iron-Catalyzed Alkenylzincation of Internal Alkynes
Authors: Wang Wei-Na , Huang Qiang , Jin Ye , Zhou Qi-Lin , Zhu Shoufei
Published: July 2023

The alkenylzincation of internal alkynes is an effective method for the
synthesis of multi-substituted conjugated dienes; however, the current
catalytic systems for this reaction are limited in terms of substrate
scope and selectivity control, which restricts its practical
applications. Herein, we report the first iron-catalyzed
alkenylzincation of internal alkynes, which features mild conditions,
simple oper-ation, broad substrate scope (including aryl/alkyl, diaryl,
and dialkyl acetylenes), excellent functional group tolerance
(tolerating highly active functional groups such as ester, methylthio,
amide, sulfonyl, cyano, etc), and high activity (with a turnover number
of up to 11500, the highest record for carbometallation reactions).
Notably, the catalytic system described in this article also realized
the highly selective vinylzincation of unfunctionalized internal alkynes
as well as the alkenylzincation of unsymmetrical diarylacetylenes and
dial-kyl acetylenes, which have not been achieved with other catalytic
systems reported in the literatures. The current study provides a highly
selective access to synthetically important multi-substituted conjugated
dienes.
Investigation of the sunspots and GDP nexus: The case of Balkan countries
Authors: Zmuk Berislav , Josic Hrvoje
Published: July 2023

The phenomenon known as sunspots refers to regions of the Sun?s photosphere
that are darker than their surroundings because their surface temperature is
lower. The sunspot growth theory, however debatable, is one of the first
explanations for economic development that explains how variations in the
Sun?s activity affect the business cycle. Jevons developed the sunspot
hypothesis in 1875. To reevaluate this notion, this research uses
correlation and regression analysis to explore the relationship between
sunspots and GDP in the context of 11 Balkan nations over the years
1960-2021. By extending the sample of nations in panel regression models to
include all nations on Earth, further robustness testing is accomplished. It
was found that there exist significantly negative medium strength
correlations between sunspots and gross domestic product values of 8 out of
11 Balkan countries. Similar findings were obtained using simple linear
regression analysis. The results of the cross-country panel regression
models further highlight the negative impact of solar activity on economic
activity, which is also associated with nations that are located at higher
latitudes.
Perceptions of Accounting Academics on the Review and Publication Process: An Update and Commentary
Authors: Burton F. Greg , Heninger William G. , Summers Scott L. , Wood David A.
Published: July 2023

We update the Wood (2016) survey about academics’ perceptions of the review and publication process. We find that accounting academics generally perceive the overall process has not improved or has become worse since 2015. Respondents think acceptance rates in top journals should nearly double, there is too much focus on publishing in top journals, and top journals favor certain topic areas and methodologies. They also believe that reviewers and editors underweight practice relevance and overweight the criteria of incremental contribution, method, and rigor. These opinions are held more strongly by new assistant professors than prior assistant professors, suggesting the rising generation has stronger negative views of the publication process than the past generation. The perceptions are also held by the leaders of the journals, suggesting the results are not the opinions of a few disgruntled academics. We provide additional commentary about changes the academy should consider based on these results.

Published: July 2023

A educação tem sido um elemento de muitas discussões, principalmente enquanto dimensão importante para o desenvolvimento de qualquer sociedade. Sabe-se que os desafios são muitos e que é necessário problematizar determinadas formas de como ela, a educação, se apresenta, e quais as suas intencionalidades. Nesse sentido, este trabalho busca revisitar alguns pensamentos que influenciaram os contextos educacionais de alguns momentos históricos da sociedade, todavia, com um olhar mais centrado nos desafios e perspectivas da Educação Popular para/na contemporaneidade. Enquanto metodologia, foi utilizada a revisão bibliográfica acerca das discussões sobre Educação, Sociedade e Educação Popular, a partir das contribuições da sociologia da educação com Durkheim (2009), e outras reflexões feitas por estudiosos da área da Educação como Gadotti (2000), Cortella (2009) Tonet (2006), Graciani (1999), Freire (1987), entre outros. Como resultados, percebemos que são muitos os desafios da Educação Popular. No entanto, destaca-se a perspectiva neoliberal de sociedade enquanto uma realidade muito fluente nos dias atuais, visto que, compromete uma educação de qualidade e demonstra aversão a uma prática educativa que defenda a pauta da prática social.

Quality assessment of cold dried chicken slices during storage in different packages and temperatures
Authors: Aykın Dinçer Elif , Erbaş Mustafa
Published: July 2023

In this study, dried chicken slices were packaged in MAP (modified atmosphere packaging) and AP (atmospheric packaging), and stored at 4 °C and 25 °C. The CO2 content of MAP packaged samples decreased as the storage temperature and time increased. The slices exhibited lower aw values when they were packaged in AP at 25 °C. The pH increased from 6.1 to 6.2, 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) increased from 10.6 to 37.3 µmol MDA kg-1, and non-protein nitrogen (NPN) increased from 4.9 to 5.3 g 100 g-1 in MAP for 90 days of storage. The microbiological quality of the samples was assessed by enumerating total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB), total psychrophilic bacteria (TPB), Micrococcus/ Staphylococcus, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Enterobacteriaceae and yeast-mold, and was higher in the sample stored in MAP at 4 °C. Moreover, the sensory quality was determined by sensory evaluation with a 9-point hedonic scale. When the sensory and microbiological qualities were evaluated together, the shelf lives of the samples were determined to be 90 days at 4 °C and 75 days at 25 °C for MAP and 45 days at 4 °C and 30 days at 25 °C for AP. It could be concluded that the cold dried chicken slices can be stored in MAP for 90 days without much change in physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory quality.
Incompatibility between Euclidean Geometry and the Algebraic Solutions of Geometric Problems
Authors: Kimuya Alex M. , Stephen Mbugua Karanja
Published: July 2023

The transition from the “early-modern” mathematical and scientific norms of establishing conventional Euclidean geometric proofs has experienced quite mixed modes of reasoning. For instance, a careful investigation based on the continued attempts by different practitioners to resolve the geometric trisectability of a plane angle suggests serious hitches with the established algebraic angles non-trisectability proofs. These faults found the root for the difficult geometric question about having straightedge and compass proofs for either the trisectability or the non-trisectability of angles. One of the evident gaps regarding the norms for establishing the Euclidean geometric proofs concerns the incompatibility between the smugly asserted algebraic-geometric proofs and the desired inherent Euclidean geometric proofs. We consider an algebraically translated proof of the geometric angle trisection scheme proposed by [1]. We assert and prove that there is a complete incompatibility between the geometric and the algebraic methods of proofs, and hence the algebraic methods should not be used as authoritative means of proving Euclidean geometric problems. The paper culminates by employing the incompatibility proofs in justifying the independence of the Euclidean geometric system.

Published: July 2023

Knowing that unwanted pregnancies can constitute an obstacle to the normal course of studies and that contraception is a means that can facilitate the avoidance of unplanned pregnancy, we initiated this study with the aim of determining the prevalence of sexuality and the contraceptives ‘use amongst female students. A self-administered questionnaire was submitted to 94 female students out of a total of 823.  At the end of the survey, the following results were obtained: The average age of the students is 22.1 with the standard deviation of 4.1; 100% have information on contraceptive methods, the main source of information is the radio (37%) but the information received on campus about contraceptive methods represents 26%.  67% of female students have a favorable opinion of contraception; 53% female students are currently using contraceptive methods [reflecting an active sexuality] against 47% who do not use any and 31% have opted for modern contraceptive methods.  100% are self-supported regarding the acquisition of contraceptives. Therefore, the study recommends the integration of sexual and reproductive education programs, and provide spaces for exchange to improve knowledge in the field of sexuality and contraception.

A interseção entre o público e o privado: a natureza híbrida dos direitos fundamentais como instrumento para superação da summa divisio
Authors: Carrá Bruno Leonardo Câmara , Souza Cid Marconi Gurgel de
Published: July 2023

Os ordenamentos ocidentais foram construídos sobre a summa divisio entre o direito público e o privado. Com a teoria dos direitos fundamentais, essa diferença necessita ser redimensionada, pois ganha destaque uma postura de simbiose entre ambos. O problema de pesquisa é o seguinte: como a estrutura híbrida dos direitos fundamentais constitui uma superação à dialética da antiga tensão entre os direitos público e privado? A presente pesquisa justifica-se em razão de que, ao estudar aspectos históricos e evolutivos, facilita-se o alcance do estado da arte. A metodologia utilizada é predominantemente teórica, descritiva e qualitativa. A confluência entre as esferas pública e privada reflete o destaque que é dado à teoria dos direitos fundamentais, que passou a ser evocada também nas relações entre particulares. Quanto ao direito civil constitucional é preciso considerar que caso o Estado adote uma postura extremamente paternalista, bens e serviços podem ser onerados por parte do outro polo que compõe a relação jurídica, como uma forma de resguardar eventuais prejuízos.

A partir do estudo de literatura especializada em cada uma dessas áreas, são apresentadas noções gerais para melhor compreensão do problema, que busca responder à pergunta se é, de fato, possível aplicar blockchain de forma a garantir a efetiva propriedade dos ativos adquiridos ou conquistados dentro de um jogo digital. Analisado tais aspectos, buscar-se-á confirmar a hipótese, no sentido que as aplicações em blockchain games, embora num primeiro momento não tenham apresentado importantes diferenciais para o desenvolvimento e comercialização dos jogos, cada vez mais essa tecnologia tem mostrado seu potencial disruptivo para provocar um novo olhar sobre o mercado de bens digitais e a indústria de jogos. Para fundamentar tal opinião, adotou-se o método qualitativo dedutivo através de pesquisa bibliográfica.

Published: July 2023

O propósito deste artigo é abordar a alternativa oferecida pelo método APAC ao sistema prisional atual. Esse método humanista trata de recuperar os presos pela valorização da dignidade humana. Para que consiga realizar os seus objetivos humanistas, o método APAC precisa da educação enquanto meio de autoconsciência e maturidade da pessoa. A denominada pedagogia da presença, aplicada pelo método ao preso desde seu ingresso na APAC, ensina o preso a tratar o seu próximo como pessoa digna enquanto ele mesmo assim é tratado. A educação, no método APAC, estimula a maturidade tendo em vista as virtudes. Por fim, se analisa, de forma breve, como as inovações tecnológicas na educação dentro do sistema prisional – e da APAC – podem auxiliar na recuperação dos presos. A pesquisa realizada foi qualitativa, de base bibliográfica e documental.
The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) Concept as an Attempt for Protection of Human Rights in International Humanitarian Law Context

Published: July 2023

The 20th century was marked by mass murder and crime to humanity, such as genocide, war crime, and ethnic cleansing, resulting in tens of millions of deaths throughout the world. While the objective of establishing the United Nations in 1945 aimed at preventing such crimes, mass murders kept on occurring, as the cases in Bosnia and Rwanda in 1990s. The responsibility to protect (R2P) concept emerged as a response to these failures, by proposing that the sovereignty of a country should be based on the responsibility to protect its citizens, rather than the right to take actions without any intervention from the international world. This research aims at exploring the R2P concept as an attempt to protect human rights in the international humanitarian law context by analyzing the relevant literature and legal norms to discover how this concept can be the basis for protecting human rights under conflict situation and four mass violations of human rights. It used normative legal research method based on international law framework. Two approaches were used, namely conceptual and comparative ones. The research results indicated that R2P concept was the best alternative for humanitarian intervention to protect mankind from such crimes as genocide, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. In an intra-country conflict, the international community was responsible through preventive and military intervention attempts. The R2P concept was also relevant in international humanitarian law since it gave a clear framework in protecting human rights and preventing mass crimes, especially in relation to the use of military power.

Tidak sedikit pedagang tradisional yang mengurungkan niatnya untuk mengajukan pendanaan ke lembaga keuangan untuk tambahan modal. Kondisi ekonomi yang tidak stabil menjadi alasan utama mengapa banyak trader memilih bertahan dengan modal sendiri.

The literature has adopted different to better understand waqf-based entrepreneurship. However, practitioners and researchers have only focused on conceptual approaches. Even though this literature forms part of the solution in this area of study, it does not represent the problem holistically. Waqf-based entrepreneurship requires an understanding on the functions of waqf as the Islamic endowment. It’s provides a structure for understanding the social contexts that have high potential to enhance the ummah’s quality of life and well-being. This research examines the effects of demographic factors on the development of waqf-based entrepreneurial intention among Muslim students studying in higher educational institutions in Malaysia. Findings from the binary logistic regression analysis of the survey from 400 Muslim undergraduate students in Malaysia show that age and working experience have significant positive impact on the waqf-based intention. The findings of this research will be of interest to the young and educated entrepreneurs and the waqf donators in order to uplift the country’s economy. This study focuses only on the demographic factors and hence, future research should add factors which might have potential impact on the intention.
