Understanding the impact of AI Hallucinations on the university community
Authors: Kamel Hend
Published: January 2025

Since we live in the era of the information revolution, finding trusted and accurate information takes time and effort made students and researchers aim to find an easier way. Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools offer an easy solution for accessing the required information easily and accessible; however, these tools rely on vast datasets to predict statistically probable outputs, not guaranteed ac- curacy. This can lead to misinformation, factual errors, biases, and fabricated content, which is termed "hallucinations." The research problem focuses on the challenges of detecting these AI hallucinations, the main issue for all users of AI technologies. The main objective of the study is to raise awareness about AI hallucinations and promote the ethical and effective use of AI tools among New Giza University students, faculty, and staff. This involves the approach to understanding the biases and errors associated with AI outputs. Methodologically, the study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analyses of AI tool accuracy with collecting qualitative data via survey of users across a range of fields to gather insights on the impact of AI hallucinations. The expected results of this research are to reveal the pitfalls that researchers might run into when relying on AI technology for their work. Additionally, the findings will contribute significantly to information literacy programs, by advocating for the including of AI tool assessments within the broader information literacy curriculum and equipping users with the skills to critically evaluate AI-generated content.

The findings aim to raise awareness of Chat GPT's capabilities, guide university instructors in promoting its effective use, and enhance the integration of AI tools in education for improved academic outcomes.
Examination of Sukuk Structures in the Turkish Participation Financial System
Authors: Uluyol Burhan , Hajraj Pashtrik
Published: January 2025

Following the trends in the world, especially in the Muslim world, where Islamic banking started to emerge, there was a need for Islamic banking in Turkey as well. Sukuk is one of the services that has recently become more popular in Turkey due to the legal regulations that enable Islamic banks in the country to issue it and be competitive in the market. This paper tries to examine the applied contracts for the issuance of sukuk and recommend some structures by first explaining the path of Islamic finance in Turkey and its services and then sukuk regulations and contracts. We find that murabaha, wakalah, and ijarah are the most popular contractual forms among the five approved financial contracts (ijarah, wakalah, murabahah, mudarabah-musharakah, and istisna’a) by the Capital Market Board of Turkey for the issuance of sukuk. As we can see from the sukuk structures, the debt-based modes of finance used predominantly in sukuk issuance and priced with the same interest-based benchmarks, it seems that the practices of sukuk are far from the ideals of Islamic economic principles. Therefore, the sukuk issuers should, away from over-usage of debt-based sukuk, should move towards more equity-based sukuk.
Islamic Finance as a Crisis-Resilient Framework
Authors: Alisic Halima , Dinc Betul , Salihu Anitë
Published: January 2025

The Global financial crisis (GFC) or “the crisis” exposed significant weaknesses within the global financial system, largely stemming from financialization activities. This research paper explores the potential of Islamic finance (IF) principles to prevent financial crises while offering a more stable and equitable financial framework. A qualitative approach was adopted, involving interviews with various professionals in the IF field to explore the ethical and practical distinctions between conventional finance and IF. Key findings reveal the resilience of Islamic banks during the crisis can be attributed to their adherence to Shari’ah principles, which prohibit interest (riba), excessive uncertainty (gharar), and speculative activities (maysir).  The study emphasizes the advantages of asset-backed financing and profit-sharing models, which align financial activities with the real economy, thereby fostering long-term stability. By highlighting the practical benefits of the ethical framework underpinning IF, this research contributes to the broader discourse on financial crisis prevention.
Adapting to Change:
Authors: Edin Kadric
Published: January 2025

This article examines the establishment of modern financial institutions among Bosnian Muslims during the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1878–1918). It explores how traditional Islamic financial practices were challenged and reshaped under the pressures of modern European administrative and economic systems introduced by the Austro-Hungarian authorities. Key areas of focus include the establishment of new banking institutions and the adaptation of local communities to emerging economic paradigms. By analyzing historical documents, economic policies, and cultural responses, the article sheds light on the intersection of faith, tradition, and modernity during a period of significant socio-economic transition. It argues that Bosnian Muslims navigated these changes through a combination of resistance, negotiation, and innovation, ultimately leaving a lasting imprint on the financial landscape of the country.
Harmonizing Economic Growth with Environmental Justice
Authors: Mohamed Hazik
Published: January 2025

The global challenge of harmonizing economic growth with environmental sustainability has become a critical issue, particularly within the manufacturing sector. This paper explores the potential of circular economy principles as a pathway to achieving a sustainable manufacturing transition that not only promotes economic development but also ensures environmental justice. By analyzing the synergies and tensions between economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social equity, the paper highlights the role of circular manufacturing in creating resource-efficient, low-waste systems. Key findings show that while circular manufacturing holds substantial potential for enhancing economic growth, job creation, and industrial competitiveness, significant barriers remain, including economic costs, technological gaps, and political and social resistance. Moreover, achieving environmental justice in this transition is essential to ensure that marginalized communities are not disproportionately affected by pollution and waste. The paper emphasizes the need for innovative policies, collaborative governance, and inclusive strategies to overcome these challenges and design equitable supply chains and manufacturing systems. Future research should focus on scaling circular practices across industries, addressing regional disparities, and developing technologies that further reduce the environmental footprint of manufacturing.

The Musical Interpretation of Pisaan Lampung
Authors: Hidayatullah Riyan , Ariyani Farida , Mazlan Chamil Arkhasa Nikko
Published: January 2025

This study explores the musical interpretation of Pisaan Lampung as an innovative approach to teaching oral literature. Pisaan Lampung, a traditional form of oral literature from Lampung, Indonesia, holds significant cultural value and is enriched with musical elements. However, its musical dimensions should be more utilized in educational settings, limiting its full pedagogical potential. A total of four Pisaan performers were selected for this study. These performers were interviewed and observed in their natural performance settings, emphasizing their musical delivery. The interviews and observations were conducted without introducing any specific musical scales, allowing the researchers to capture the performers' authentic expressions and stylistic nuances. The musical analysis focuses on scale, melody, intonation, expression, dynamics, and central tones. The findings reveal that the musical analysis of the vocal melodies in Pisaan Lampung, directly recorded from its performers, exhibits a pentatonic scale closely resembling the Javanese gamelan scale used in Javanese karawitan. This pentatonic structure underscores the deep-rooted cultural connections between the musical traditions of Lampung and Java, highlighting the shared tonal heritage across these regions. Furthermore, the study identifies an instructional design paradigm that uses the pentatonic scale as the fundamental framework for teaching Lampung oral literature. The scale-based pattern produced by this study provides educators with a practical tool for improving the learning experience and deepening students' connection with Lampung's rich cultural heritage.

Sustaining Community Partnerships: The Role of Ethical Oversight
Authors: Adedara Toyosi
Published: January 2025

This paper develops an ethical framework to enhance community engagement and community-based learning, aiming for sustainable partnerships between institutions and communities. Social issues and weakened partnerships often result from inadequate ethical standards in institutional practices. Many institutions lack ethics boards to uphold respect and foster intercultural relationships. Establishing a relationship is only the first step; its long-term success requires ongoing commitment. Recent literature shows community engagement initiatives often neglect rigorous ethical frameworks. Thus, institutions need dedicated ethics committees for vetting community-based endeavors, such as service-learning and educational fieldwork. This need is akin to Institutional Review Boards overseeing research. This paper proposes the Ethical Community Engagement Learning (ECBEL) framework as a comprehensive tool for embedding ethical considerations into community engagement initiatives. By ensuring high ethical standards, the ECBEL framework fosters trust, respect, and mutual benefit among all stakeholders.
The Impact of Return-to-Office Mandates on Job Satisfaction
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: January 2025

he COVID-19 pandemic prompted many organizations to shift to remote work, leading to gains in employee well-being, productivity, and flexibility. However, as vaccination rates increased and infection rates declined, some companies have implemented partial or full return-to-office (RTO) mandates, which have been met with resistance from employees and may negatively impact job satisfaction. This article explores research on the relationship between the work environment and employee attitudes, highlighting how flexibility and autonomy during remote work contributed to increased job satisfaction. It examines case studies from the technology, accounting, and education industries, demonstrating how RTO mandates have undermined these recent gains, potentially threatening innovation, morale, and retention. The article suggests that a balanced approach, treating remote and in-person work as flexible options based on role and employee preference, can help organizations maintain or improve upon job satisfaction while addressing operational needs.
The Effects of Augmented Feedback, Focus of Attention, and Monetary Reward on Vertical Jump Height: A Replication Study
Authors: Bakhshinejad Javad , Hutchinson Jasmin , Murphy Jennifer , Trainor Lydia , Friedman Sarah , Coker Nicholas
Published: January 2025

Reproducibility and replicability of published empirical scientific evidence are fundamental for verifying key findings, identifying errors and/or boundary conditions, and upholding rigorous research standards. For this replication study, the primary goal was to assess the replicability of the findings from Wälchli et al. (2016), which investigated the role of augmented feedback (AF), external focus of attention (EF), and reward (RE), as well as a combination of these conditions on countermovement jump height. The original study sample included 18 resistance-trained male and female participants, while this replication included 38 (19 male, 19 female). Participants performed maximal countermovement jumps in six different conditions: neutral (NE), aF, RE, aF + EF, aF + RE, and aF + EF + RE. Results showed a non-significant effect of condition on jump height (p = 0.612, ηp2 = 0.015) which was in contrast to the original study. Furthermore, the replication effect size was not compatible with the original effect size estimate as it was significantly smaller. There was also no significant effect of condition on muscle excitation or kinetic variables. The present study demonstrated that each combination of AF, EF, and RE did not affect vertical jump performance. Therefore, we were unable to replicate the findings from the original study in this close replication.

Published: January 2025

State mindfulness is a dynamic construct reflecting current mindfulness, or purposeful attention to the present moment with openness, non-judgment, non-reactivity, and acceptance. Despite its popularity and research in psychology and medicine, measuring state mindfulness remains a challenge. Validity and reliability of the State Mindfulness Scale (SMS) and State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity (SMS-PA) in applied settings like nature require more data to be established. This pilot study aimed to evaluate these scales and introduce a new, one-item scale, the Visual Analog Scale-Mindfulness (VAS-M), for quicker mindfulness assessment. Participants completed the SMS, SMS-PA, and VAS-M upon arrival at a desert trail, after 10 minutes of sitting, and after 10 minutes of walking. A subset repeated the intervention 24 hours later. The study found that the SMS and SMS-PA could be given before, during, and after nature immersion. The SMS-PA showed evidence of concurrent validity with the SMS (ρ = .89, p < .001). However, the VAS-M did not meet the criteria for concurrent validity with the other scales. None of the scales met the criteria for test-retest reliability. This study underscores the need to validate state mindfulness scales, especially in non-laboratory settings. While the SMS-PA shows promise, further validation and refinement of the VAS-M are needed. The findings enhance our understanding of measuring state mindfulness, particularly in natural environments. While the scales are already in use, our study helps address gaps in evidence and informs future decisions about their application.
A Flexible Training Approach to Improving Concurrent Training Outcomes in Remote Trainees
Authors: Bonilla Christopher P. , Kilian Justin R. , Herron Robert L.
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a flexible, trainee-driven training program in improving concurrent training outcomes for individuals training remotely. The study employed a repeated-measures, parallel group design with 18 participants randomized into either a control group with fixed workouts or an experimental group with flexible workout selection based on perceived readiness. Participants were recreationally trained at baseline. Over a 16-week period, both groups completed assessments of strength and endurance, including deadlift, push-ups, and a two-mile run. The results indicated no significant difference in overall fitness improvements between the two groups, with both showing meaningful progress in strength and endurance measures. However, adherence rates were notably lower in the flexible group as the study progressed, potentially due to decision fatigue. Statistical significance was set at ρ ≤ 0.05, with main effects of time showing significant improvement in fitness scores across all groups. The findings suggest that while flexible programming offers similar benefits to traditional fixed programs, it may require strategies to maintain adherence over longer periods. Practical applications include the potential for flexible training to be used effectively in remote settings, particularly for populations like military personnel with varying access to fitness resources.

Authors: Dedi Leman  , Edy Victor Haryanto  , Noprita Elisabeth S
Published: January 2025

Tritech Informatics Vocational High School (SMK) Medan is a school located on Jalan Bayangkara Medan. The library administration implemented at Tritech Informatics Vocational School in Medan currently still applies conventional procedures. Digital libraries are economically more profitable than traditional libraries. This is because the existence of a digital library is able to share library book collections and makes it easier to find the book information needed and is able to facilitate services in the process of borrowing and returning books as well as making monthly reports. But there is also the most important thing, namely how library members or the public can immediately read books without having to borrow them, thereby making time and space more efficient because members don't have to worry about delays in returning books. With fliphtml and digital library web training, it will provide many conveniences for library staff. Apart from that, it also creates a systemized digital library so that there is no more loss or errors in storage or delays in returning physically borrowed books. It is hoped that this will help activities at the Medan Tritech Informatics Vocational School. This system training is very useful for ebooks that are still stored in school storage media and cannot be used until now.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work-life balance, creativity, and job stress on employee performance, with problem-solving as a mediating variable. The research was conducted on employees of PT. Bank Mandiri (Persero), Tbk, Unit CRC West Region I Sumatera 1, using a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 160 respondents and analyzed using SmartPLS software. The results show that work-life balance and creativity have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, both directly and through problem-solving. Conversely, job stress has a significant adverse effect on employee performance, also mediated by problem-solving. The problem-solving variable plays an important role in bridging the relationship between work-life balance, creativity, and job stress with employee performance. This research provides practical implications for organizations to improve work-life balance, creativity, and employees' problem-solving abilities through flexible work policies, innovation training, and stress management programs. By focusing on the development of problem-solving skills, organizations can mitigate the effects of job stress and support employees in achieving optimal performance.

Iraq currently faces an absence of water, worsened by population growth. As a result, if new water sources are not supplied, the country’s yearly per capita water supply will decrease. In this study, a simple, promising, and economical method for on-site greywater treatment is developed, employing agricultural waste as a bio filter medium and using it as irrigation water in rural Iraqi areas. The impact of rice husk biomass waste's pyrolysis and bio char characteristics on greywater treatment was examined using a bio trickling column treatment. Waste biomass from rice husks was paralyzed at 360°C. The pyrolysis of the husk biomass resulted in an increased surface area and pores. COD and BOD removal percentages in BTF2 were 81% and 88%, respectively. BTF1 has a 65% efficiency in COD removal and a 71% efficiency in BOD removal. For BTF1 and BTF2, the corresponding nitrate removal percentages were 52.93% and 75.38%. For BTF1 and BTF2, the respective phosphate removal rates were 45% and 65%. For BTF2, in this study the result show that the filter BTF2 (bio char filter) was the more effected than BTF1 (raw rice husk filter) in removal pollutant from greywater demonstrated a good deal of promise for treating greywater.  Limiting the accumulation of agricultural waste and using it as a bio filter media for municipal greywater treatment are essential steps toward ensuring the environmentally safe disposal of agricultural waste in Iraq and reducing the cost of wastewater treatment.

Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) is increasingly being incorporated into modern business activities, the link between corporate CSR and firm value remains argumentative. This study aims to examine the moderating roles of financial discretion and Research & Development (R&D) intensity in the relationship between CSR disclosures and firm value. Based on a sample of 1,212 matched pairs of firms over the period from 2018 to 2024, the authors establish the mixed of CSR on firm value. On the one hand, CSR programs are associated with an increase in systematic risk, or risk that is related to market – wide economic fluctuations. On the other hand the study establishes that CSR decreases firms ’idiosyncratic risk – risk particular to certain firms – whereby there is a decrease in Tobin’s q, which measures the market value of a firm in relation to its assets. However, the empirical evidence has pointed out that FF and R&D investment moderate the observed effects. While both explain how CSR reduces the cross-effect of Tobin’s q, to different extents. Two sub-directories, financial adaptability, by improving a firm’s position towards financial vulnerabilities, reduces the positive link between CSR and systematic risk. Moreover, CSR cuts down the increasing effect of the R&D investment on the idiosyncratic risk to stabilize the firm-specific performance. Thus, these insights enhance the CSR knowledge regarding its multifaceted effects on firm value for theories and provide useful advice for practice to managers. The current study reveals that by skillful management of their financial freedom and the magnitude of investment in the CSR research and development, the companies are able to maximize on the dividends which are likely to occur due to the sensitive CSR programs that are likely to cause off shots. This perspective of CSR is helpful in the existing debates within the academic and literature on the roles of CSR for organizational performance.
