The purpose of this study is to inform the variables affecting the use of digital library, user satisfaction and net benefits perceived by Indonesian open university (IOU) students. The merge of the technology acceptance model and the information system success model was proposed.

Through a large-scale survey, the instrumentation was validated and examined for the reliability through some steps: face and content validity, pilot study and measurement model. In the data collection phase, 2,695 IOU students participated in filling out the survey instrument. The data were computed in the SmartPLS application and analyzed through a structural model evaluation, the partial least square structural equation model.

The analysis informed that most hypotheses were confirmed, informing the roles of all exogenous variables to the endogenous. The most significant determinant of use of digital library was perceived usefulness. User satisfaction was mostly influenced by perceived ease of use. Meanwhile, the strongest determinant of net benefits was user satisfaction.

By integrating these two models, this study is expected to provide deeper insight into how and why open university students use digital libraries. The current study provides recommendations for further improvements. It seeks to fill the research gap regarding the use of information technology in the context of open and distance education.

This study aims to investigate the association between genetics knowledge and perceptions toward nutrigenomics and to examine whether this relationship was mediated by attitudes toward nutrigenomics.

An online cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire comprised of four sections: sociodemographic information, genetics knowledge, attitudes toward nutrigenomics and perceptions toward nutrigenomics. A total of 423 health science students participated in this study.

Students enrolled in dietetics and biomedical science programs possessed significantly higher (p < 0.05) genetic knowledge compared to Chinese medicine students. Additionally, students in their second and third years of study exhibited significantly greater (p < 0.05) genetic knowledge than first-year students. Genetics knowledge was found to be positively associated (p < 0.05) with attitudes and perceptions toward nutrigenomics. Attitudes toward nutrigenomics partially mediated the relationship between genetics knowledge and perceptions toward nutrigenomics.

This study underscores the need for a well-rounded and progressively structured genetics curriculum across all health science programs. Enhancing genetics knowledge could potentially serve as a strategy to improve attitudes and perceptions toward nutrigenomics.

Nutrigenomics is an evolving field that forms a junction between diet, genomics and health. Health science students are the future health-care professionals, and their current attitudes and perceptions toward nutrigenomics are crucial for predicting its applications in the future. This study contributes novel insights by revealing that attitudes toward nutrigenomics serve as a partial mediator in the association between genetics knowledge and perceptions toward nutrigenomics.

The study explores how mobile governance affects the administrative burden on older adults, focusing on learning, psychological and compliance costs.

Using attribution theory, the research employs a quantitative research design, utilizing surveys to gather data from 516 older adults across three cities in China: Quzhou, Wuhan and Shanghai. The study examines how intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors of m-government interfaces impact older adults’ administrative burden.

Perceived complexity increases learning, psychological and compliance costs for older adults. Personalization and high-quality information decrease these costs, enhancing user satisfaction. Visual appeal decreases anxiety and psychological costs.

This research links attribution theory with m-government’s administrative burden on older adults, offering new insights into optimizing m-government to serve older adults better.

This study aims to understand the practices and rules of Sharia crowdfunding policies in Indonesia given the rapid growth of financial technology and the increasing importance of crowdfunding as a funding alternative for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

This study used qualitative methods, exploratory methods and literature studies for data collection. The focus is on understanding the regulatory environment and institutional framework that support Sharia crowdfunding in Indonesia.

Despite a specific law regulating Sharia crowdfunding, several authoritative institutions in Indonesia offer FinTech, crowdfunding and Sharia crowdfunding services. Some regulations have been issued, such as Bank Indonesia Regulation Number 19/12/PBI/2017 and Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regulation Number 37/POJK.04/2018, which was later amended to Number 57/POJK.04/2020. This study emphasizes the crucial role of OJK in providing security guarantees for implementing FinTech, including crowdfunding. At the same time, Sharia crowdfunding also follows fatwas issued by DSN-MUI.

This study describes Sharia crowdfunding policies in Indonesia and indicates that further research could delve deeper into specific cases and examine the impact of these policies on the growth and sustainability of Sharia crowdfunding.

This study underlines the need to enhance Sharia crowdfunding standards and to create rules that explicitly address this issue. This has implications for regulatory authorities, FinTech companies and MSMEs seeking to leverage Sharia crowdfunding.

This study suggests potential social implications, including a more inclusive financial system that complies with Islamic principles and supports MSMEs' growth.

This study is unique in its focus on Sharia crowdfunding policies in Indonesia, providing a comprehensive view of the regulatory landscape and existing institutional framework.

The purpose of the article is to shed light on how COVID-19 affects employee involvement in environmental responsibility and innovative performance in the banking industry, and whether employee engagement mediates the relationship between the variables. Thus, this study tries to understand bank employees’ perspectives in relation to the variables.

The study was collected during Time lag (1) and Time lag (2) from 156 to 216 bank employees, respectively. The study applied two types of analysis, to comprehend the impact of COVID-19 on employees, descriptive analysis and the partial least squares (PLS) are used.

The study's findings focused mainly on the influence of COVID-19 in Jordanian banks on employee innovative performance (EIP) due to pandemic, in addition to its effect on environmental responsibility engagement (ERE). The findings indicated a positive significant relationship between the variables. Meanwhile, employee engagement (EE) mediated the effect between the exogenous and endogenous variables.

The current research provide light on the value of employees' innovative performance and banks' commitment to environmental responsibility for those working in the banking industry, particularly during a pandemic. The findings have significant ramifications for the banking industry and in raising employee engagement.
