Integrating Individual and Organizational Perspectives: A TAM-TOE Framework for ISO 27037 Adoption in Malaysian Government Digital Forensics Agencies
No full textThis article is index by ScopusThe adoption of ISO 27037, the international standard for digital evidence handling, remains poorly understood in emerging economy government contexts despite its critical importance for cybersecurity and judicial integrity. Existing literature predominantly examines private-sector implementations in developed economies, neglecting the unique institutional and resource constraints faced by public agencies in developing nations. This study addresses this gap by investigating ISO 27037 adoption among Malaysian government digital forensics professionals through an innovative integration of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. The research develops a comprehensive theoretical model combining individual cognitive factors (training, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and behavioral intention) with organizational, technological and environmental determinants. A key innovation is conceptualizing organizational readiness as a second-order construct comprising six dimensions: digital forensic readiness, resource availability, governance structures, compliance culture, leadership support, and institutional trust. Using quantitative survey methodology and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the study examines how individual cognitive factors influence adoption, the relative importance of organizational versus technological and environmental factors, and the pathway from individual acceptance through...see more
Physicochemical Properties of Rhamnolipid Synthesis by Burkholderia thailandensis E264 Grown on Miscible and Immiscible Carbon Source
No full textThis article is index by ScopusThe widespread use of Pseudomonas aeruginosa for RL production is hampered by its pathogenicity. Burkholderia thailandensis E264 presents a safer and potentially more cost-effective alternative, yet research on its RL production, particularly regarding the influence of carbon source type and chain length, remains limited. This study addresses this gap by investigating the effects of different carbon sources on the physicochemical properties of RLs produced by B. thailandensis E264. B. thailandensis E264 was cultured in Mineral Salt Medium (MSM) supplemented with glycerol (miscible) and oleic acid (immiscible) at concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6% (w/v). These concentrations were chosen based on considerations of solubility, growth inhibition, and cost-effectiveness. Bacterial growth was monitored using optical density (OD600) and cell dry weight measurements. RL production was assessed using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, oil displacement tests, and emulsification index (EI24) measurements. Maximum cell dry weight was achieved at 4% (w/v) for both glycerol (0.2290 g/L) and oleic acid (0.1590 g/L). FTIR analysis confirmed RL production, evidenced by characteristic C-O stretching bands that show the existence of bonds between carbon atoms and hydroxyl groups in the chemical structure of the rhamnose ring (e.g. 1045.10 cm−1 for glycerol, 1044.9 cm−1 for oleic acid). Oil displacement was highest at 4% (w/v) glycerol (1.70 ± 0.99 cm) and 6% (w/v) oleic acid (3.60 ± 1.22 cm). The emulsification index (EI24) peaked at 50% with 6% (w/v) glycerol and 30% with 2% (w/v) oleic acid. Statistical analysis (ANOVA) confirmed significant differences (p < 0.05) between carbon sources except there is no significant difference between various concentrations of glycerol (p-value = 0.55) and oleic acid for the oil displacement test (p-value = 0.27)
