ABSTRACT: Islamic Edowement (Waqf) Digitalization is an innovative breakthrough that can support waqf development. Currently, the waqf Collection, Management and Distribution (CMD) are eased by digital technology. However, there are unequal implementations among selected Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC's) member countries that affected of the waqf progress itself. Several countries optimized this media as important tool to enhance the huge of cash waqf potential while others got stuck on classical obstacles such as regulation and human resources. Therefore, the study aims to identify and analyze several issues and find a proper solution regarding to current waqf'sdigital technology uses. This qualitative research use content analysis of several previous references that obtained from numerous reputable journals and other relevant sources. The results show that the basic philosophy of waqf digital technology is benefit, taysir, taghyiral ahkam, urf and maqashid sharia for great waqf improvement. Through this philosophy, several countries' studies have shown significant development of waqf. However, there are implementation differences between them since the budget is a matter. It takes large funds to be achieved. Government involvement is required to overcome the main obstacle. In addition, waqf human resource expertise is an important aspect to master. Therefore, recommendations of the study for future relevant strategies and frameworks are integrating Islamic endowment funds and government budgets to foster waqf operationalization as well as formulating an appropriate human capital collaboration

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4573

ABSTRACT: Law enforcement of corruption by corruptors still has gaps to be exploited by irresponsible parties in weakening the position of political or business opponents. The formulation in the legal system of criminal acts of corruption is unclear, making law enforcers less professional in applying the law in the field of criminal acts of corruption. The purpose of this study is to analyze and find corruption law enforcement regulations within the BUMN business framework that are not yet based on the value of justice and the weaknesses of corruption law enforcement regulations within the current BUMN business framework in Indonesia, as well as the reconstruction of corruption law enforcement regulations in Indonesia. SOE business framework based on the value of justice. The research method used is constructivism paradigm, sociological juridical approach, and qualitative analysis. The results of the study show that the law enforcement regulations for corruption within the BUMN business framework are not based on the value of justice, that the state financial loss will be closely related to the provisions of Law no. 1 of 2004 concerning the State Treasury and provisions related to the position, duties and functions of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). 2) The weakness of the legal substance is that in substance the existence of 4 (four) laws and regulations that are multi -aspects in BUMN and have different regulatory objects from each other have resulted in confusion over the financial accountability of BUMN. The weakness of the aspect of legal structure is that there is no synergy between law enforcers so that it is no longer fragmentary and the existence of the paradigm of the judiciary shows that the legal structure came first but has not yet been followed by adequate legal substance. Weaknesses in the aspect of legal culture are often subjective in nature which highlights, among other things, the loyalty and loyalty of law enforcement officials in carrying out and carrying out state duties, patterns of behavior and professionalism of officers, being one of the main issues that must be studied for reform and a solution in enforcing criminal law. corruption within the framework of an integral SOE business.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4575

ABSTRACT: Purpose - Capital expenditure reflects a company's investment in long-term assets expected to generate value for shareholders over time. Such expenses mostly expect to improve a company's future performance. This research aims to explore the relationship between capital expenditure and future firm performance. Design/methodology/approach - A sample (n=475) of registered companies listed on the stock exchange of Thai (SET) from 2000-2016 was selected. The time period selected for this research allows the researchers to analyze the relationship during the period of economic growth and stability. Secondary data was harvested from the Thomson Reuters Datastream database. Findings - A regression analysis showed a negative relationship between capital expenditure and future firm performance, as measured by return on assets (ROA) and dividends. Notably, this negative relationship was found to be statistically significant across the board, first for all companies and second for a unique subset of larger companies. Originality/value - Such findings go against general expectations. Subsequently, the study has implications for general practice, investment, and the academe.In particular, it sheds light on the potential impact of agency on investment expenses. Practically, registered SET companies can use this insight to make informed investment decisions; investors to make investment decisions, and lenders to make lending decisions. Overall, this research provides value for various stakeholders across financial exchanges.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4577

ABSTRACT: Adult education is concerned with developing the adult population of a country to become useful to themselves and their societies. It is aimed at equipping adults with the right knowledge, skills and attitudes required to actualize their full potentials, and then depends on them to, in turn, apply themselves to the all-round development of their societies. In Nigeria, adult education is relevant and strategic in the development of the nation. However, there are many challenges to adult education in Nigeria. One of such challenges is poor funding. The cause of poor funding is government's inability to single-handedly finance adult education in Nigeria. This, therefore, underscores the need for an alternative means of funding adult education which is very important to national development - a joint effort, sort of, in financing adult education towards sustainable development in Nigeria. To this end, a public-private partnership (PPP) becomes a necessary avenue. This paper examined the nature of public-private partnership in financing adult education and its implications for sustainable development. The authors relied on qualitative data from theoretical sources and recommended ways through which the Nigerian government can build synergy with private individuals and organizations in financing adult education towards sustainable development in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT: The paper aims at detecting factors affecting the attraction of foreign direct investment capital in 6 economic regions of Vietnam under the impact of Covid-19 in the period from 2010 to 2021. Through the regression method of the random effects model (REM) and fixed effects model (FEM), the study shows the coefficient of interactive variables such as labor including labor cost (CPLD) and quality of labor (CLLD), infrastructure including facilities (CSHT) and volume of freight (KLHHVC), agglomeration including foreign agglomeration (QTNN) and private agglomeration (QTTN) and market size (GDP) according to Covid are all negative and statistically significant, which shows that when other factors are held constant, the rate of increase in FDI according to the independent variables is lower in the presence of Covid than in the absence of Covid. Based on the findings, some recommendations have been made to improve the ability of Vietnamese provinces and cities to attract foreign investment capital after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Yu Xiaobao 1, Zhao Wenjing 2

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4582

ABSTRACT: The traditional cross-provincial and regional power trading mechanism can hardly meet the growing demand for clean energy consumption in China. The paper proposes a inter-provincial trading path based on the digital-driven cross-regional power trading and consumption, and establishes a cross-regional market trading model to support the large-scale consumption of clean energy. The analysis results show that the cross-regional trading market mechanism and trading model can adapt to the demand for clean energy consumption in China and increase the proportion of clean energy consumption across regions.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4583

ABSTRACT: With the proposal of the national "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" and "building a new power system with new energy as the main body" and other goals, cleaning and digitization have become an urgent need for power systems. Based on advanced control, metering, communication and other technologies, the virtual power plant aggregates massive multi-distributed resources on the demand side, which can provide the necessary flexibility support for the power system through diversified means of saving, and at the same time help renewable energy consumption. The digital twin technology uses big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other digital technologies to virtually model the characteristics, behavior, processes and performance of the physical entities of distributed resources, which is an ideal way to achieve virtual power plant operation optimization. This paper illustrates the basic definition and system construction of digital twin virtual power plants, and analyzes the participation of virtual power plants in the multi-level market models of auxiliary services, medium and long-term, and spot, so as to provide reference for the construction and development of China's digital twin virtual power plants participating in the power market.

ABSTRACT: This study critically examined contrast as a stylistic strategy employed in Tsitsi Dangarembga’s books: Nervous Condition, Book of Not and This Mournable Body. The objectives of the study were to analyze identity on contrast, determine class stratification on contrast and assess place where contrast is noted in the selected books. The main argument of this project is that: through presentation of contrast, the writer attempts to empower and motivate the disadvantaged in the selected books. The primary concern to this study is the way the author unleashes the potential of black people. She also shows what is expected of them by the society. The study examined the channel of acquiring wealth. One must be educated and be a male so as to be rich in a case one is an African. Opportunities are given to female characters if there are no male ones in the family. The writer demonstrates the reason to unmask the biased image of Africans and women in the colonial era. The study analyzed the traditions and beliefs that bar Africans progress. This study is useful material for reference to other researchers and readers. The study is guided by Karl Marx’s strategic conflict theory. The theory is about the competition of limited resources in the society. The study used textual analysis in analyzing the selected books. It was library based which involved intensive and extensive reading of the selected texts. The three books were selected using purposive sampling technique. The study advocated for the appropriate presentation of contrast so as to avoid being biased against people who should be valued in the society.

ABSTRACT: The Government's efforts in the bureaucratic reform policy are to make improvements by issuing Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning the State Civil Apparatus, one of the points of which is a paradigm shift in filling ASN positions which is fully carried out in the election mechanism by Baperjakat to a new method, namely open selection or commonly known as with the designation of auction positions, Analyzing Bureaucratic Neutrality in the Process of implementing the placement of ASN Primary High Leader Positions using the Position Auction Model in the Central Sulawesi Government Environment. This type of qualitative research uses a critical ethnographic analysis approach. There were 24 informants in this study. The selection of informants was carried out using a purposive sampling technique. The results of research in the process of implementing the auction for high leadership positions are still not based on a person's competence; there is still intervention in the appointment of high leadership positions. Therefore, it is necessary to have a new policy issued by the government in terms of handling human resources, especially in terms of the responsibilities of the position of ASN Primary High leadership.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4594

ABSTRACT: The study investigated the influence of Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy on monitoring fraudulent practices and blocking financial leakages on the administration of public universities in North Eastern Nigeria. two specific objectives with corresponding research questions guided the study and two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a survey research design, and was carried out in North Eastern Nigeria. The population of the study comprised 547 Bursary staff of Federal Universities in North Eastern Nigeria. The sample size for the study comprised 231 Bursary staff obtained from the use of Taro Yamane formula for sample size determination. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire. The reliability of the instrument was estimated using Cronbach Alpha statistic and an overall reliability coefficient of 0.84 was obtained. The data was analyzed using Means and Standard Deviation to answer the research questions. Chi-Square Statistic to test the null hypotheses at 0.05level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that the implementation of TSA has made inflation of contract difficult and has also made fabrication of accounts to disclose false position in public sector difficult to perpetuate in the administration of public universities. It further revealed that maintenance of Treasury Single Account helps to eliminate idle funds usually left with different commercial banks in the administration of public universities and Treasury Single Account enhances e-payment collection and this influences the administration of public universities. Based on these findings, it was recommended that; Federal government should ensure all contracts in within the university is solely monitored using TSA, as this would make inflation of contract difficult and also make fabrication of accounts to disclose false position in public universities difficult to perpetuate, therefore enhancing speedy execution of projects for efficient administration of public universities. Federal government should sensitize Vice Chancellors on the constant need of institutionalizing Treasury Single Account in their respective schools, as it would help to eliminate idle funds usually left with different commercial banks via e-payment as this would make more cash available to the government to address other needs in public universities.

JAMES ARUMA ILARIOUS PhD.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4595

ABSTRACT: Christianity in North Africa then was not of a recent happening nor was it a by-product of missionary enterprise of colonialism. The Church in North Africa had flourished for about five hundred years before Islam was born and even before the coming of the white missionaries into the continent of Africa. This study undertakes to examine the rise and fall of the Donatist Church in Carthage, North Africa. The study is to establish the beginning and the causes of the fall of the Church and how some key figures in the Catholic Church collaborated with the Roman government to destroy and bring the Church to its final extinction. Library method is used in this study where both primary and secondary sources are employed. These include: published books, magazines, journals, newspapers, government gazettes, repots of organizations, manuscripts, and dairies. The findings of the study amongst others include: lack of proper evangelism, heresies and internal rivalries, divisions, government monopoly of Church affairs and persecution. The implications of the study showed that the failure of the Church to use the language and culture of the people within which the Church is established led to unsuccessful outcome. Rivalry for positions in the Church, divisions, and this coupled with capture of North Africa by Vandals in 429 and finally by the Muslims in 698 led to the disappearance of both the Donatist as well as the Catholic Churches in Carthage, North Africa.

28. Cognitive Orientation and Incentive System on Team Performance: Experimental Studies in Accounting Decision Making

Yusnaini Yusnaini 1, Arista Hakiki 2, Sri Maryati 3

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4597

ABSTRACT: At this time the organization has adopted a group or team-based structure in operation and coordination in order to improve performance (Libby and Thorne, 2009; Chenhall, 2008). However, team-based structures are not necessarily able to improve performance. Economic literature states that working in a team can decrease performance due to potential conflicts between individuals within the team and group incentives. Instead, organizational literature shows that working in a team can improve performance through collectivist cognitive orientation. The study aims to analyze how the incentive system and cognitive orientation (individualized or collectivist) influence team performance. This research uses experimental design to accounting students and using 2x2 factorial design scenarios. The results showed that the collectivist orientation team had higher performance than the individualist cognitive oriented team without considering the type of incentive scheme provided. The results of this study also indicate that the variation of incentive schemes has little effect on the performance of collectivist groups compared to individualist groups.

29. A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE OGRE MOTIF: A THEMATIC APPROACH TO PURPLE HIBISCUS AND PETALS OF BLOOD

Koros Jeruto Esther and Dr. Margaret Njoki Mwihia

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4598

ABSTRACT: Ogre narratives have for a long time been a didactic, entertaining and historical tool in the preliterate Africa. It served as the curricula for both informal and non-formal education of the mentioned era. The postcolonial period that ushered in a literate Africa did not extinguish the existence of this genre but instead integrated it into its modern written materials such as the short story, the novel and the play. A close study of the modern African works reveals a consistency between the African novel and the oral narrative. The objective of this study was to critically analyse the themes in Purple Hibiscus and Petals of Blood with the aim of highlighting and relating them to the ogre motif. Such themes include; greed, cruelty, destruction, heroism, sexism, vengeance and victimization. This study benefited from descriptive research design that adopted a qualitative approach, its target population being all the texts authored by both Ngugi Wa Thiongó and Adichie Chimamanda. Purposive sampling was used to select the two texts of interest and from which primary data was collected. Close textual analysis was done with a view of getting enough data for the study and to describe the arguments relating to thematic trends of the ogre motif. The study revealed in its findings that modern African writings borrow heavily from the orate African literature. It revealed a consistency between the modern African writings and the preliterate orate African literature (otherwise known as orature) in terms of themes.

30. What about the emotional labor of university teachers in teaching? A survey from a Chinese university

ZHENG Jiuhua 1, LIU Na 2*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4599

ABSTRACT: Emotional labor is an important factor that affects the teaching effectiveness of teachers, and university teachers are no exception. In order to understand the current status of emotional labor among university teachers, this paper investigated the emotional labor of 253 university teachers from China. The results showed that university teachers have a high perception of emotional display rules, and engage in high levels of emotional labor behavior. They employ more deep acting and naturally felt emotion strategies in emotional labor, and age differences were found in surface acting, which decreases with age. Finally, this paper proposes suggestions for improving the impact of emotional labor at both the individual and organizational levels. University teachers need to continuously improve their own emotional management abilities and intrinsic work motivation, while universities need to create a good educational ecological environment and provide social support for university teachers.

Thuy Dam Thi 1 and Hue Nguyen Thanh 2

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2022.4600

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to examine the impact of TQM practices on the business performance of hotels in Vietnam, considering the role of innovation performance in the current business context. Data were collected from 190 hotels with a rating of three stars or higher in Vietnam in 2022. By using SEM analysis, we have demonstrated that TQM practices have a positive effect on hotels' business performance, and innovation performance plays an intermediary role in the relationship between TQM practices and business performance. Therefore, hotels should not only focus on implementing TQM principles to enhance service quality but also prioritize business, service, and process innovation to improve their results. This study highlights the importance of both TQM practices and innovation performance in achieving success in the hotel industry.
