Intention to participate in Islamic banking in Indonesia: Does socio-political identity matter?
Authors: Fathoni Muhammad Anwar , Rodoni Ahmad , Al Arif Mohammad Nur Rianto , Hidayah Nur 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
The fact that Islamic banking in Indonesia held only a 7% market share in 2023 is ironic, considering that Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world. Beyond differences in ethnicity, race and religious understanding, Indonesia’s sociopolitical diversity also presents an intriguing study area about consumer decisions to use financial services. This study aims to investigate the influence of sociopolitical identity on attitudes and intentions to participate in Islamic banking in Indonesia using the theory of reasoned action as a basis.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used SEM-PLS to investigate the intention to participate in Islamic banking among Muslim communities in Indonesia. Its focus on prediction and theory building aligns perfectly with the objectives of this study, making it the most appropriate methodological choice. The sample used in this study comprised 343 respondents. The structural model was used to test the relationship between intention to participate in Islamic banking and religiosity, subjective norms, attitudes and sociopolitical identity, with reputation as mediation.

Findings
This study found that three variables significantly affect the intention to participate in Islamic banks: attitude (AT), reputation (RP) and subjective norms (SN). Sociopolitical identity (SP) and religiosity (RE) do not have a direct effect. However, sociopolitical identity (SP), attitudes (AT) and religiosity (RE) have been proven to have an indirect impact through reputation (RP) as mediation, and only subjective norms (SN) have not.

Practical implications
This study implies that Islamic banking needs to consider non-marketing aspects because, based on its findings, non-marketing factors such as sociopolitical identity and religiosity have been proven to influence the intention to participate in Islamic banking in Indonesia.

Originality/value
This study’s respondents were two Muslim communities in Indonesia with the largest mass and assets, namely, Nahdhatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah. The inclusion of non-marketing aspects, such as sociopolitical identity, in the research model added value, which is still rarely researched.
The potential of interprovincial money laundering in Indonesia: investigation on the attractiveness and destination choice
Authors: Andiojaya Agung , Ramadhani Aqsal Rizky , Rizka Riana , Prachmasetiawan Fayota 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the level of attractiveness of each province in Indonesia as a potential destination for money laundering activities originating from Jakarta.

Design/methodology/approach
Adopting a quantitative approach, this study uses the Walker Gravity Model, which has been modified in two key components: the attractiveness and distance variables. The first modification is achieved by using proxy economic variables, for which data is available at the provincial level within a country. The utilization of proxy data serves to circumvent certain data limitations inherent to the original model, which is only accessible at the country level. The second modification is introduced to the distance component, wherein this study develops a distance index that is deemed to be more representative than physical distance used in the original model.

Findings
The research findings indicate a notable correlation between economic activity and the risk of money laundering, with provinces in closer proximity to Jakarta exhibiting a higher likelihood of being targeted for money laundering activities. However, there are exceptions for some provinces that, despite their distance from Jakarta, also demonstrate a high potential for money laundering due to their strong economic ties to the capital city.

Originality/value
The existing studies on money laundering attractiveness, extent and flow at the provincial level in Indonesia using quantitative approaches are limited. This paper provides new insights into the economic and governance landscapes of Indonesian provinces, highlighting the need for tailored anti-money laundering strategies.

Published: December 2024

PurposeIslamic law, as the fundamental framework for Islamic bank operations, emphasizes the transparency of bank performance information to the ummah (stakeholders). This study aims to prove the effect of performance disclosure (shariah compliance, social, environmental and economic performance) on profitability, customer loyalty and cost of debt.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses 23 Islamic banks in Indonesia and Malaysia observed for 15 years (2009–2023) and analyzed using panel data regression.FindingsWe report that disclosure performance negatively impacts the cost of debt. However, by testing each performance disclosure indicator, we find that disclosure of Shariah and environmental compliance performance positively impacts customer loyalty. In addition, environmental performance disclosure negatively impacts the cost of debt. In the long term, we report that customer loyalty increases in line with the expansion of shariah, social, environmental and economic compliance performance disclosures. In addition, environmental performance disclosure has a positive effect on return on assets (ROE).Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to Islamic banks in Indonesia and Malaysia, which are predominantly Muslim. Muslims are the primary market for Islamic banks and a major factor in determining Islamic bank legitimacy.Practical implicationsWe recommend that regulators encourage banks to expand bank performance disclosure by issuing regulations and laws, such as creating rankings for Islamic banks’ disclosure performance or rewarding banks that provide broader disclosures. Thus, it will help stakeholders to access bank performance information.Originality/valueThe contribution of this study is to develop the concept of business sustainability through comprehensive performance disclosure, including Shariah compliance and social, environmental and economic performance.

Authors: Bamuhiga Bazili Evarist , Kimambo Gerald Eliniongoze 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
The study aims to examine how teachers’ motivational strategies influence Tanzanian primary school pupils’ motivation to learn English. It specifically identified and evaluated the impact of these strategies on pupils’ motivated behaviours during English language learning.

Design/methodology/approach
The study involved 40 English language teachers from 20 selected primary schools in Morogoro, Tanzania. Data were collected through non-participant classroom observations and interviews. Quantitative analysis was performed using SPSS version 20 to produce descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative analysis was based on Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis framework.

Findings
The results indicate that teachers used various motivational strategies, with the most frequent strategies including breaking classroom monotony, increasing pupils’ expectancy of success, demonstrating enthusiasm, promoting learner autonomy, recognising and appreciating success, administering tasks in a motivating manner and providing regular experiences of success. Many of these strategies were aimed at sustaining pupils’ motivation. The study also found a strong correlation between teachers’ motivational strategies and pupils’ motivated behaviours, with positive multiple regressions indicating a significant impact.

Research limitations/implications
The study reports on the immediate impact of teachers’ motivational strategies on enhancing pupils’ motivation to learn English based on findings collected using a cross-sectional design.

Originality/value
The paper addresses the knowledge gap in using motivational strategies to engage young learners in classroom interactions. It answers Lamb’s (2017) call to analyse foreign language learners’ and teachers’ classroom experiences. The research reports on classroom observations in Tanzania, focusing on teachers’ use of motivational strategies and their results in motivating pupils to learn English.
Indian mining industry: exploring the significance of social audit in fostering sustainable corporate social responsibility
Authors: Dash Trilochana , Sahoo Chandan Kumar 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to understand the relationship between social audit (SA) and sustainable corporate social responsibility (SCSR). Furthermore, this study will investigate the mediating effect of corporate social innovation (CSI) on the relationship between SA and SCSR and the moderating impact of community participation (CP) on the relationship between CSI and SCSR.

Design/methodology/approach
This research was conducted in Odisha, a state in India, with 448 respondents and a response rate of 89%. The convenience sampling technique was used, and questionnaires were prepared in English and translated into regional languages during data collection. Psychological separation and Harman’s single-factor test were used to avoid common method bias. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed step by step to validate the proposed model.

Findings
The current study indicates that SA positively impacts SCSR. Findings from the analysis show that CSI partially mediates the relationship between SA and SCSR. Furthermore, this study indicates that CP moderates the relationship between CSI and SCSR.

Originality/value
This study is one of its kind concerning the variables considered, and it can work as a stepping stone for upgrading the delivery mechanism for corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, which can solve the fundamental problems faced in society more effectively. It will provide new paths for future researchers to study in the area of audit and CSR.
Effects of microarthropod density on soil fungal community composition in nutrient‐poor ecosystems

Abstract

Microarthropods such as mites (Acari) and springtails (Collembola) play a key role in the functioning of nutrient‐poor ecosystems. They contribute to the comminution of organic matter and they are likely to affect the structure and function of soil microbial communities through grazing and by changing substrate availability. However, the precise effects of their interactions with microbiota remain poorly understood.

In the present study, we conducted a mesocosm field experiment to determine the effects of soil microarthropod density on community composition of soil fungi. We manipulated microarthropod densities in 100 defaunated and soil‐filled meshed mesocosms by inoculating half of the units with microarthropods (i.e. high‐density treatment), while the other half of the units only contained few specimens possibly hatching from recalcitrant eggs that survived defaunation (i.e. low‐density treatment). All mesocosms were then inserted in the top soil of a range of nutrient‐poor grasslands and heathlands in Belgium for the duration of three months. The entire mesocosms were composed of mesh (30 μm mesh size) to allow for a rapid (re‐)colonization by microbes from the surrounding soils, while migration of microarthropods in or out of the mesocosms was precluded. Litter bags (30 μm mesh size) containing two types of organic matter were also buried within each mesocosm, and organic matter mass loss over time was used as a proxy to assess effects of microarthropod density on microbe‐regulated decomposition rates.

We found that fungal community composition differed strongly between the two microarthropod density treatments, regardless of habitat type. The mesocosms with higher microarthropod densities were characterized by a higher number of fungal OTUs and a higher number of fungal indicator species associated to this treatment. Microarthropod density, however, did not affect microbe‐regulated organic matter decomposition rates, nor did it affect relative abundances of putative fungal functional groups, thus suggesting considerable levels of fungal functional overlap.

Synthesis. The lack of measurable changes in organic matter decomposition or shifts in fungal functional group representation suggest that effects of microarthropods on the functioning of fungal communities may be lower than originally thought.

Three‐dimensional stoma model education programme for robotic total mesorectal excision: A single‐centre experience
Authors: Kwong Sze Yuet Joyce , Chan Pak Tat , Pang Yuk Kam 
Published: December 2024

AbstractObjectiveStoma education is an essential part of perioperative management in colorectal surgery. Recently, three‐dimensional (3D) printed stoma models have been developed as useful adjuncts to conventional stoma teaching. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the introduction of a 3D stoma model education programme on patients undergoing elective robotic total mesorectal excision (TME).MethodologyBetween April 2021 and October 2021, 12 patients who underwent elective robotic TME in Queen Elizabeth Hospital were recruited into the 3D stoma model education programme. They were compared with 30 patients who had robotic TME before the introduction of the programme from January 2020 to December 2020. Their demographics, length of stay, self‐stoma care skills, and feedback regarding the programme were reviewed.ResultsThere was a reduction of 2.7 days in the mean length of stay before (10.8 days) and after (8.1 days) the introduction of the 3D stoma model education programme. A statistically significant difference was observed (P = .0236). The programme was well received among participants. All patients agreed that it relieved their anxiety, increased their understanding and confidence in self‐stoma care, and enhanced their self‐stoma care ability. This was supported by their excellent performance in the first post‐operative stoma care session, where their stoma care skills were assessed by a stoma nurse specialist.ConclusionsPreliminary results from our 3D stoma model education programme for patients undergoing elective robotic TME are promising. The use of 3D stoma models may contribute to a shorter length of hospital stay and self‐stoma care proficiency, and are well accepted by patients.
CEO (in)activism and investor decisions
Authors: Durney Michael T. , Johnson Joseph A. , Sinha Roshan K. , Young Donald 
Published: December 2024

AbstractMany CEOs engage in activism by publicly expressing their views on social, environmental, and political issues, while other CEOs refrain from doing so—a behavior we term CEO inactivism. We use two experiments to examine how CEO (in)activism impacts investor decisions. Our results are consistent with our theoretical predictions. When a CEO expresses an activist position that is consistent versus inconsistent with investors' views, investors invest more in the CEO's firm because they perceive the CEO more positively. We also find that CEO inactivism can lead to investment decisions that are as favorable as when the CEO expresses a position consistent with investors' views; our process evidence suggests that this may occur because CEO inactivism increases the likelihood that investors believe the CEO shares their position on a social issue. Finally, we do not find evidence that investor decisions are influenced by whether CEO (in)activism is in response to an external prompt. This study contributes to the emerging literature on CEO activism, a unique form of voluntary disclosure, by providing evidence about how CEO (in)activism influences investors. We also contribute to the literature examining the impact of social media disclosure on investor decisions. Finally, our findings have practical implications for CEOs, who increasingly face external pressures to engage in activism.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundAnecdotal experience suggests that WHO Safer Surgery Checklist has become a ‘tickbox’ exercise, resulting in variable team engagement and efficacy.AimsTo observe the quality and completeness of ‘Time Out’, together with the level of team engagement during obstetrics and gynaecology procedures.Materials and MethodsObservational study where the following data were collected during ‘Time Out’:

% of the 19 items correctly responded to after ‘challenge’.
Type and duration of distractions.
Level of team engagement.
Authority gradient and likelihood of speaking up (Visual Analogue Score).
ResultsData from 70 obstetrics and gynaecology cases were collected over 8 weeks. ‘Time Out’ was clearly announced in 91.4% and was performed in all cases but not all items were communicated in the correct ‘challenge and response’ manner. Mean percentage of questions appropriately ‘challenged’ and ‘responded’ to was 92% ± 6.86%. Mean duration of ‘Time Out’ was 92.01 ± 86.9 s and observed distractions were auditory (61%), visual (26%), irrelevant chatter (22.5%) and theatre traffic (13%). In 92.8%, at least two team members were not engaged and were performing non‐essential tasks. The likelihood of a team member being able to ‘speak up’ was 8.78/10 (±0.71) and this appeared independent of whether it was led by nurses, doctors, operating department practitioners or healthcare support workers.ConclusionAlthough performed in all cases, ‘Time Out’ is often not clearly announced or completed in the correct ‘challenge and response’ manner. It is plagued by avoidable distractions and suboptimal team engagement. Greater awareness is crucial to ensure more complete team involvement.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTSciatic hernia, a rare type of pelvic floor hernia, presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the first totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair of a sciatic hernia, which was performed in a 63‐year‐old woman who presented with vomiting and poor dietary intake. Computed tomography revealed a strangulated femoral hernia and an incidental herniation of the sigmoid colon through the right sciatic foramen. Simultaneous TEP repair of both hernias was successfully performed. The TEP approach offered a wide field of view without disturbing the abdominal organs and facilitated the management of concurrent hernias, making it particularly beneficial when the diagnosis of sciatic hernia is certain.
