Model of halal management practices in Islamic banking: empirical evidence from Bank Syariah Indonesia
Full text linkPurpose – This research analyzes the halal management practice model implemented at the Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Pekalongan branch in maintaining compliance with Sharia principles. Method – This research uses a qualitative method with an interpretative approach. Data collection was done through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The research results were validated by triangulating data sources, methods, and theories. Findings – The results showed that the BSI Pekalongan branch implemented a strict supervisory system to ensure that all transactions and services followed Sharia principles. Transparency in contracts and halal-based fund management are the main factors that build customer trust. Islamic financial education strategies play a role in increasing customer loyalty to bank products and services. Challenges in Islamic financial literacy and technology utilization still hinder the improvement of halal management efficiency. This research provides insight for Islamic banking stakeholders to increase the effectiveness of halal management in building customer trust and loyalty. The BSI Pekalongan branch can improve its competitiveness and ensure full compliance with Sharia principles by strengthening its supervision through transaction transparency and digitalization of halal services. Implications – Theoretically, this research enriches halal management studies by emphasizing Sharia compliance, transparency, and innovation in digital services. Practically, it guides Islamic banks in strengthening governance and customer trust
The Role of Islamic Legal Regulations in Enhancing the Competitiveness of the Halal Tourism Industry in Central Java
Full text linkThis research aims to analyze the role of Islamic legal regulation in enhancing the competitiveness of the halal tourism industry in Central Java, particularly considering the lack of a formal legal framework governing Sharia-based tourism services and destinations. This study is motivated by Central Java’s low position in the National Halal Tourism Index despite its strong potential in Islamic history and culture. A qualitative approach with a case study method was applied in five selected areas: Demak, Kudus, Magelang, Surakarta, and Semarang. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and policy documents analysis. The results show that the absence of specific regional regulations on halal tourism has led to weak service standardization, limited involvement of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), and inconsistencies in application of fiqh mu’amalah principles. The study finds that Islamic legal regulations positively influence the competitiveness of halal destinations by increasing Muslim tourists’ trust, improving the quality of halal infrastructure, and promoting Sharia value-based competitive differentiation. The theoretical implications emphasize the integration of Maqashid Sharia and regional competitiveness theory as a comprehensive framework. This research contributes to Islamic public policy by encouraging collaboration among local governments, fatwa institutions, and industry players in building sustainable halal tourism
Applying Muslim-friendly tourism principles in destination management: Evidence from Aceh, Indonesia
Full text linkPurpose – This study describes and analyzes the implementation of Muslim-Friendly Tourism (MFT) principles in managing tourist destinations in Aceh, Indonesia. Methodology – This research uses a qualitative approach with a case research method, collecting data through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis.Findings – The results showed that implementing MFT principles in Aceh still faces challenges, such as limited worship facilities, suboptimal halal certification in the culinary and accommodation sectors, and a lack of local community involvement in destination management. Nevertheless, applying Sharia law in Aceh is a strong asset for strengthening the halal tourism ecosystem. Local governments, tourism businesses, and communities play a strategic role, but stakeholder coordination still needs improvement. The availability of Sharia-based services strongly influences Muslim traveler satisfaction and directly affects traveler loyalty. Implications – The implications are to design a more inclusive and sustainable halal tourism development strategy for policymakers. This research emphasizes the importance of synergy between the government, business actors, and the community in strengthening Aceh’s competitiveness as a global halal tourism destination. Originality – This research enriches the literature on halal tourism and provides strategic recommendations for the more effective management of Sharia-based destinations
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
