Assessing the Islamic values in the halal supply chain of the poultry industry / Emi Normalina Omar
Get PDFThe values in our daily life are important as the values play a role in influencing our principles and behaviours, and positive values could create good behaviour and a happy living. Thus, values in Islam are essential as those act as a guide for Muslims to be the good believers and capable in forming the better societies. These values are based on the Shariah principles which can be found in the Holy Qur'an, which dominantly enacted as the main reference of foundation for Muslims in present time and the Hereafter. Occasionally, Muslims do not realise that the good things that they do in their daily activities are considered as good values from the Islamic perspective, i.e. Islamic values. The present business environment of the food supply chain, particularly the poultry industry has been chosen in this study due to the fact of highest food consumption of Malaysian in poultry and poultry based products. This study found that research which assessing the Islamic values and halal supply chain has received relatively little attention in the literature. Therefore, this study attempts to fill this void by assessing the Islamic values in the halal supply chain of the poultry industry. This study focuses on the existing poultry supply chain by underlying Islamic values that exist and might capable to assist the implementation of halal supply chain as to be resilience and sustainable in the future. By using a qualitative approach, the main data was collected from in-depth interviews of three case studies. The three case studies are interrelated in the poultry supply chain as the first case is focused on the initial stage of supply chain i.e. farm, while the second case emphasises on five slaughterhouses. The final and third case focuses on the final stage of the supply chain which is retailers' premises. The study determined the fundamental of Islamic values that emerge throughout the entire halal supply chain of the poultry industry. The study then highlights the importance of the Islamic values in the halal supply chain. A model was formed based on eleven dimensions, namely accountability, awareness, commitment, competency, dedication, efficiency, kindness, knowledge, sincerity, spiritual well-being, and trustworthiness. The research contributes to the literature of Islamic values as well as the supply chain management literature by supporting the ethical theory of Al-Ghazali. This study proposed three new dimensions, namely awareness, commitment and competency dimensions in assessing the halal supply chain that is incorporated in the newly proposed assessment Islamic values model

Exploring challenges of food delivery riders in the gig economy – a conceptual model / Aziemah Ahmad and Emi Normalina Omar
Get PDFThe widespread use of smartphone apps and online ordering has contributed to a significant increase in the meal delivery sector in recent years. These riders have flexible job alternatives because of the gig economy; nevertheless, there are drawbacks as well. Food delivery riders play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth and efficient delivery of food to customers. However, not all food delivery procedures go smoothly because there are a number of obstacles and problems that food delivery riders have to deal with before the food is delivered to the clients. Thus, the purpose of this research is to identify the factors that lead to the issues and challenges that urban area of food delivery drivers encounter. A conceptual model has been laid out based on the findings of the interview conducted with 10 food delivery riders in order to accomplish this research based on data saturated. According to the research, there are four main factors that lead to issues and challenges for food delivery riders: time constraints, fraudulent consumers, dangerous behaviour, and system problems. Future research can be shaped by the suggested conceptual framework
Islam Hadhari : the quest of commerce and trades / Husniyati Ali, 'Ismah Osman and Emi Normalina Omar
Get PDFThe ethical values that have been stressed in the concept of Islam Hadhari are seen to be a motivating factor for man to work harder, have a sense of respect, self-discipline, honesty, justice, fairness and accountability, in order to ensure that the country would prosper and develop, as in line with the teachings of Islam. As far as trade and commerce is concerned, al-Qur'an has indeed pointed out that
trade and commerce is made permissible in order to develop human being so that they will not suffer in poverty and difficulties. In Surah al-Baqarah verse 275 Allah SWT says: "But Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury..." Hence in the quest of trade man needs to adhere to the Islamic principles where the concept of lawfulness should be considered in the business activities. Whatever
is permitted should be followed and whatever is forbidden should be restrained. This paper will discuss on some of quranic verses in terms of promoting economic growth and social development of the Muslim, and the nation, as a whole. Secondly, it will also highlight the challenges that the nation face in advocating development and growth in commerce and trades in Malaysia. Lastly, this paper will
discuss on the approaches towards facing the competitive world of trade and commerce, caused by globalization and technological revolution. Consequently, Islam Hadhari could only be achieved, when the people only adhere to the principles and the regulations that have been underlined by Allah
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
