The current study aimed to develop and validate a scale to model factors affecting digital technology access for instructional use. The scale was mainly used to assess the structural model. Besides, tests of difference were addressed regarding digital technology access for instructional use based on gender, teaching experience and school location.

The authors implemented a survey design in this study. A scale based on prior studies was developed, validated and piloted. The pilot study data were computed for an exploratory factor analysis. Further, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and t-test procedures were used for the main data analysis (n.2677). The authors also included the importance-performance map analysis to extend of the results of the PLS-SEM.

The findings of the study successfully assessed the validity and reliability of the scale. All hypothetical relationships in the structural model were positively significant. The t-test results show that teaching experience and school location were significantly different regarding instructional use access; however, an insignificant difference emerged based on gender.

Failure in technology integration is possible if policies have not been carefully prepared. Therefore, users' perception is an essential factor in determining technology integration, including access to digital technology.

This research has the potential to enhance the understanding of access to digital technology in the context of developing countries by the elaboration of the proposed model's instrument development and validation, path analysis assessment and difference test examination with a large sample size. Also, the current study emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about digital technology access that the model can facilitate a valid and reliable foundation for future researchers interested in conducting similar types of research.

Knowledge sharing contributes to the success of an organization in various ways. This paper aims to summarize the findings from past research on knowledge-sharing outcomes in organizations and to suggest promising directions for future research.

There was a conduction of a systematic literature review that consisted of three main phases: defining a review protocol, conducting the review and reporting the review. The thematic analysis was conducted on 61 studies, based on which a framework for understanding the impacts of knowledge sharing was developed.

Previous research has investigated knowledge-sharing outcomes at three levels: the individual, team and organization; specific impacts are summarized for each level. The most commonly studied factors affected by knowledge sharing are creativity, learning and performance. Knowledge sharing is also found to have some beyond-convention work-related impacts, such as those on team climate and employees’ life satisfaction. Research on the outcomes of knowledge sharing is dominated by quantitative studies, as we found only one qualitative study in this review. Based on the discussion of the results, promising avenues for further research were identified and a research agenda was proposed. More research on differential, psychological and negative impacts, as well as interactional and methodological aspects of knowledge-sharing, is suggested.

To date, no systematic review has been conducted on the impacts of knowledge-sharing. This paper makes an important contribution to knowledge-sharing research, as it consolidates previous research and identifies a number of useful research topics that can be explored to advance the field, as well as to establish the evidence-based importance of knowledge sharing.

This paper aims to assess the fatigue life characteristics of vehicle coil spring under random strain load in the time domain. Cyclic random road loads caused fatigue failure for automotive components during their operating condition. .

The coil spring model is developed through finite element analysis software. The critical region and fatigue life cycle of coil spring is evaluated through finite element analysis. The experimental is set up to capture the random strain signal of the rural, highway and campus road. The sampling rate of the random strain signals data captured were 500 Hz in 150 s. Then, fatigue life is assessed through Goodman, Brown-Miller, Fatemi-Socie, Wang-Brown fatigue life models. Goodman model is evaluated through finite element analysis in order to compare with fatigue experimental results.

The fatigue life was estimated for Brown-Miller model is the highest (4.32E4, 4.10E4, and 3.73E4 cycles/block for rural, highway and campus respectively) followed by Goodman model, Brown-Miller, Fatemi-Socie and Wang-Brown models respectively. The conservative fatigue life 1:2 and 2:1 data scattering approach is proposed in order to determine the acceptability of the data.

Hence, the proposed fatigue life models can be used to assess multiaxial fatigue under random strain signals for the automobile coil spring.

In this paper, an analysis is performed to find the solution of a nonlinear ordinary differential equation that appears in a model for MHD viscous flow caused by a shrinking sheet.

The cases of two dimensional and axisymmetric shrinking have been discussed. When the sheet is shrinking in the x‐direction, the analytical solutions are obtained by the Hankel‐Padé method. Comparison to exact solutions reveals reliability and high accuracy of the procedure, even in the case of multiple solutions. The case of sheet shrinking in the y‐direction is also considered, with success.

When the sheet shrinks in the x‐direction, the analytical solutions are obtained by Hankel‐Padé method. Also, when the sheet shrinks in the y‐direction, the obtained results with Hankel‐Padé method are presented.

Comparison to exact solutions reveals reliability and high accuracy of the procedure and convincingly could be used to obtain multiple solutions for certain parameter domains of this case of the governing nonlinear problem.

The numerical solutions are given for both two‐dimensional and axisymmetric shrinking sheets by using Hankel‐Padé method. It is clear that the Hankel‐Padé method is, by far, more simple, straightforward and gives reasonable results for large Hartman numbers and suction parameters.

The purpose of this study include analyzing the conformity between the General Guidelines for the Governance of the Indonesian Sharia Entities (GGG-ISE) and the implementation in the field and proposing a model of corporate governance for Islamic property developers.

This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The researcher used a structured interview method and chose a purposive technique to determine the interviewees. This study has seven interviewees representing three Islamic property developer companies in Jember Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Data collection was conducted from June to July 2023, with a duration of about 60 min for each interviewee. The interviews were conducted face-to-face in each interviewee’s residential office.

The results showed that the companies had implemented several principles of GGG-ISE, namely, ethical and responsible actors, risk management, internal control, compliance, disclosure and transparency by making financial reports, shareholder rights and stakeholder rights, both internal and external stakeholders. Furthermore, this study found that GGG-ISE does not comply with the components of the organizing organ group. This study also found that governance reports have not been implemented in GGG-ISE components. In addition, this study identified a new component that must be present and not found in GGG-ISE, namely, a statement of the use of contracts for mudharib owners and between mudharib owners and stakeholders. Based on these findings, this study proposes a governance model for Islamic property developer companies called the GGG-IPDE.

This research is a pioneer in proposing a corporate governance model for Islamic property developers.

This paper aims to assess the readiness of Malaysian facilities management (FM) organizations in implementing knowledge management (KM) systems.

The questionnaire survey was used to retrieve information on the readiness of FM organizations in Malaysia.

The findings reveal that, although many FM organizations were capable and ready in terms of information technology, lack of human behaviour and organizational policy is still seen. Technology, policy and human behaviour are the factors that have a strong influence on the successful outcome of KM.

This paper fulfils an identified need to study in implementing KM systems.

The purpose of this study is to attempt to examine the aims and objectives outlined in the formation of Islamic education in Indonesia. This study also looks at the development of Islamic education in general and the various approaches taken by the Indonesian Government.

This study has mainly used a library research methodology. The data relevant to the study were collected and analysed by using an analytical approach.

The study found that there is a significant contribution from the Ministry in formulation of Islamic Education policy in Indonesia.

Indonesia is the largest Muslim majority country in the world. Islamic education in Indonesia has been around for a long time. In modern days, many have tried to study on Islamic education in terms of philosophy and objectives to be achieved. This study addresses the Islamic education in Indonesia; hence, it provides values for readers, researchers and those who are involved in future studies of this country.

The Indonesian Waqf Board and United Nation Development Program are developing green waqf in Indonesia. Development of green waqf in Indonesia as a response to save the earth from environmental damage and other social impacts. This paper aims to measure public perceptions about willingness to participate in making donations to the green waqf program in Indonesia.

Modifying the Theory of Reasoned Action framework, questionnaire data were collected from 311 Muslims in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling method.

The findings show that attitude, subjective norm, product knowledge and trust influence the Muslims in Indonesia to donate to green waqf. In contrast, Islamic religiosity harms the intention to donate in green waqf but is insignificant.

This research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a limited sample of several communities, so the results cannot be generalized. Further investigation needs to be carried out by involving a more diverse sample to get better results. However, the results of this study can be used as an illustration of how Muslims behave in donating green waqf.

These results imply that to develop green waqf in Indonesia, especially in attracting waqf candidates willing to make donations, waqf institutions must carry out engineering to shape the attitude of prospective donors through various activities such as socialization and education of the green waqf program. Waqf institutions must also build public trust by involving public figures to campaign for the green waqf program. This will likely increase prospective donors’ active participation in donating their money to develop green waqf in Indonesia.

Waqf is a severe concern for the Indonesian Government, including waqf for the environment. To the bets of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first attempt to look at the behavior of the green waqf model in Indonesia. Thus, the acceleration of waqf development can be realized and is expected to impact the community significantly.

The purpose of this study is to present the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer in an accelerating film of a non-Newtonian pseudo-plastic nanofluid along an inclined surface with viscous dissipation and Joule heating.

An incompressible and inelastic fluid is assumed to obey the Ostwald-de-Waele power law model and the action of viscous stresses is confined to the developing momentum boundary layer adjacent to the solid surface. Viscous dissipation and Joule heating on the flow of electrically conducting film in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field is considered for the Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose (CMC) water-based nanofluid. The fluid is the CMC-water-based with concentration (0.1-0.4 per cent) containing three types of nano-solid particles Cu, Al₂O₃ and TiO₂. The modeled boundary layer conservation equations are transformed to dimensionless, coupled and highly non-linear system of differential equations, and then solved numerically by means of a local non-similarity approach with shooting technique. To validate the numerical results, a comparison of the present results is made with the earlier published results and is found to be in good agreement.

The effects of magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number and Biot numbers on the velocity and temperature fields are presented graphically and discussed for various values of thermo-physical parameters. It has been found that magnetic field decelerates the fluid velocity for both cases of Newtonian nanofluid and pseudo-plastic nanofluid because of the generated drag-like Lorentz force. This is of great benefit in magnetic materials processing operations, utilizing static transverse uniform magnetic field, as it allows a strong regulation of the flow field.

The numerical study is valid for two-dimensional, steady, laminar film flow of Ostwald-de-Waele power law non-Newtonian nanofluid along an inclined plate. A uniform transverse magnetic field of strength B₀ is applied perpendicular to the wall. Assume that the base fluid and the nano-solid particles are in thermal equilibrium with no slip effects. The interaction of magnetic field with nanofluid has several potential implications and may be used to deal with the problems such as cooling nuclear reactors by liquid sodium and inducting the flow meter which depends on the potential difference in the fluid along the direction perpendicular to the motion and to the magnetic field.

The study has significant applications in magnetic field control of materials processing systems.

The results of the present study may be attentiveness to the engineers and applied mathematicians who are interested in hydrodynamics and heat transfer enhancement associated with film flows.

This paper aims to study the Pesantren’s role in alleviating the poverty in rural region, and the discussion is connected to the theory of local economic development and Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah.

This paper engages a case study and an interview to get insight into the subject matters.

This study finds that the roles of an entrepreneur and a stimulator are evident from the sampled Pesantren in empowering the local economy and the underprivileged community. Further, inasmuch as the fundamental concept of local economic development is in line with Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, the evidence from the sampled Pesantren is also representative of its role in actualising it. This study is relevant for academics, local government in Indonesia and other related stakeholders.

This paper credits both theoretical and practical implications for academics and the government. Firstly, by discussing the concept of prosperity from the Western and Islamic perspective, this paper creates a notion that these theories are harmonisable. Secondly, by sampling a Pesantren to draw how these two concepts are applied to advance a rural economy, this paper comes out with the hands-on advice for Indonesian government to legally engage with the existing Pesantrens to perform its rural development programmes.

While a Pesantren’s role in empowering a disadvantaged community is comprehensively investigated, an accurate evidence is documented which can best challenge its radicalism and terrorism issues.

This is the first study to harmonise the theory of local economic development and Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah and presents the practical evidence from a Pesantren.
