Since Britain announced it’s withdrawal from the region in the late 1960s, conflicts and crises remain the dominant norm in the Gulf region, and Saudi Arabia finds itself concerned with what is happening in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Bahrain, by virtue of the fact that Bahrain is the closest to the urban density centres in Saudi Arabia and the people of Bahrain are the most geographically and demographically connected with the people in Saudi Arabia. This means that the political impact of the current situation of Saudi Arabia's policy in the Gulf region is based on the need to preserve the stability of the region, especially Bahrain, to address the attempts of Shiite expansion and penetration of Iran and the protection of the Gulf regimes. Also to address the preservation of the ruling regime and prevent the transmission of infection to the eastern region in Saudi Arabia which has taken on political and security dimensions.

The Effect of Individual Factors on the Adoption of Mobile Banking Within Banks in Iraq Nawar Makttoofa*, Haliyana Khalidb, Ibrahim Abdullahc, a,bDepartment of Business Administration, International business school, UTM, Malaysia, cDepartment of Computer engineering techniques, Al-Hikma University College, Baghdad, Iraq, Email: a*nawarali@yahoo.com The business of banking has dramatically changed during the past decade. Swift technological progress has impacted the banking sector worldwide. The m-banking system is among the greatest technological developments in the banking sector. In the context of banking, the adoption and decision to utilise m-banking is influenced by a number of individual determinants. In spite of the wide-ranging availability of academic writing, studies pertaining to the individual circumstances of developing countries is inadequate. Iraqi m-banking is in its formative phase, hence this study offers important directions for banks in Iraq to substantively improve their technological services by understanding critical individual factors. Therefore, this study aims to design and develop an m-banking model using individual circumstances. In order to obtain the objectives of this current research, the researcher employed a quantitative method. A autonomously managed survey questionnaire was carried out on 210 chosen banks employees in Iraq. This study utilises the SPSS as an instrument to analyse the study. The core determinants ascertained to have a marked favourable part in the adoption of m-banking adoption entail: Knowledge and Skills, Attitude Towards, Trust, and Motivation. The outcomes possess significant consequences and are immensely valuable for the researchers in the Academia and banking sector professionals. Pages 73 to 90 |

The Antecedents and Outcomes of Higher Education Student Ethics Setyabudi Indartonoa*, Nahiyah Jaidib, Arum Darmawatic, Lies Endarwatid, Balamuralithara Balakrishnane, a,b,c,dUniversitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Indonesia, eSultan Idris Education University, Malaysia, Email: a*setyabudi_indartono@uny.ac.id Scholars believe that students “cheating” behaviour at school has a significant effect on their unethical behaviour at work. Scholars argue that many ethical studies have different foci such as behavioural rather than attitudinal approaches, rigid rather than dynamic perspectives, different moral frameworks, and wider use of exchange theory. Accordingly, this study investigates the further robust model of students' ethical behaviour. This study collected 588 respondents from Indonesian and Malaysian students of various faculties who completed the survey. The ethical behaviour of the student is believed to have internal and external antecedents and outcomes. A better level of ethics is expected to increase their outcomes. It is also indicated that ethical behaviour mediates its antecedents to the outcomes. It shows that the effect of students’ learning motivation and resilience on the team may change if the student has better ethical behaviour. Hence the proper ethical development programs for the student may achieve better results. Pages 486 to 507 |

The Effect of Macroeconomic Variables on Macroprudential Indicators in Indonesia from the First Quarter of 2003 to the Fourth Quarter of 2013 Devina Karin Khrisnatia, Wasiaturrahmab*, a,bDepartment of Economics, Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Airlangga, Campus B, Jln. Airlangga No.4 Surabaya – Indonesia, Email: adevinakk@yahoo.com , brwasiatur@yahoo.com The macroprudential policy aims to mitigate the risk of financial systems to reduce the spread of negative impacts on macroeconomics. The macroprudential policy can be measured by using Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs), including the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) approach to analyse the influence and impact of a policy in the model. The variables in this study were modified into seven endogenous variables consisting of macroeconomic variables such as Consumer Price Index (CPI), Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, interest rate spread (IRS), lending interest rate (LIR) and foreign exchange reserves (DEV). Also, there were two macroprudential indicators, namely the ratio of Non-Performing Loans (NPL) and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), which were divided into two models. This study aims to determine the significance and the effect of macroeconomic variables on macroprudential indicators in Indonesia during the first quarter of 2003 to the fourth quarter of 2013. Macroeconomic variables used include consumer price indices, GDP growth rate, interest rate spread, lending interest rate, and foreign exchange reserves. The result of this study indicates that the resilience of the financial system in Indonesia is maintained amid the economic slowdown/downturn. Therefore, it does not cause any systemic effect that disrupts the financial system stability. Pages 623 to 640 |

Philosophical Controversies between Al-Ghazali and Ibn Rushd Athal Ibrahim Husseina, aDepartment of History, College of Education for Humanities, Kirkuk University, Kirkuk, Iraq, Email: aAdhal.ibr@uokirkuk.edu.iq Abi Hamid Al-Ghazali (450-505 Ah/ 1058-1111 AD) was a Muslim philosopher with prominent intellectuality, experience, efforts, and biography. In fact, he was a philosopher, narrator, jurist and Sufi. This has made him a cultural icon, representing an important phase of Arab-Islamic cultural history in the past and at present. Scholars with various interests’ study and investigate the philosophy of Al-Ghazali. His intellectual identity remains the most important reason for disagreement between researchers when evaluating his works and perspectives. This disagreement indicates Imam Al-Ghazali's suffering and patience in disputes and controversies, as well as the richness of his thoughts. Imam Ibn Rushd is not less important than Imam Al-Ghazali. He was keen to seek knowledge and learning, particularly in the fields of language and medicine. He was truly a unique philosopher at the time. He left a huge number of books, representing an explicit proof of his knowledge and hard efforts. In fact, this topic requires a detailed study because it raises many questions that cannot be discussed in one paper. Hence, this paper focuses on investigating the debates and claims made by Imam Al-Ghazali against the philosophers. This can be achieved by presenting evidence argued by Ibn Rushd after nearly seventy years whereby he criticised Al-Ghazali's claims and defended philosophers and philosophy. He responded to Al-Ghazali's claims and accusations of atheism with a philosophical and rational dialogue. Ibn Rushd claimed that Al-Ghazali did not understand interpretations of philosophy properly as he was not familiar with the philosophers' intentions; therefore, he cannot accuse them of atheism.

Economic Analysis of Death from Natural Disasters in Indonesia 1971-2012 Deni Kusumawardania*, Yessi Rahmawatib, a,b,Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Airlangga, Email: a*deniku@feb.unair.ac.id Indonesia is one of the countries that has an observable disaster intensity in the world. This is quite risky to the domestic economy and burdensome to society. The relationship between economic and disaster variables has not been studied and it is an interesting aspect to study further. This study aims to see whether the death caused by the disaster is affected by socio-economic variables such as the level of welfare in proxy with GDP per capita, level of trade openness, the role of government in proxy with the government expenditure, and education in proxy with the school enrolment rate at the tertiary level. This study uses the Negative Binomial Regression (Regression NB) approach with time series data from 1971-2012. After analysing the influence of socio-economic variables on the increase of death from disasters, this study will also calculate the value of the loss of death from the disasters experienced by Indonesia. Calculations use economic valuation techniques, namely Value of Statistical Life (VSL) with willingness to pay (WTP) approach and a meta-regression analysis to determine the nominal amount arising from the disaster. Through the NB Regression, it is proved that the variables affecting the number of deaths are GDP per capita, government expenditure and trade openness. The losses suffered by the people due to deaths from natural disasters are US$ 19,824.19. Pages 693 to 713 |

Often, welfare is equated with material states, such as income, consumption, and wealth but the fact is that material state is not the sole source of welfare. There are other factors such as job status that affects welfare. This job status is not included in the calculation of objective welfare but is included in subjective welfare. The subjective welfare in this study is described globally through happiness and in a particular domain such as life satisfaction, in job terminology (job satisfaction). This study aims to test the influence of wealth, main job status, education level, working hours, and demographic factors on subjective welfare globally and in domains. This research uses the logit model regression technique. The result of this research shows that wealth, job status, education level, and demographic variables have an effect on subjective wealth both globally and in domains, while working hours only affect the subjective welfare of domain.

The questionnaires were distributed among employees working in franchises of both firms of the Kyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. Our findings suggest that employee performance is highly affected by HC practices i.e., selection, training, performance appraisal, compensation, and benefits. The main purpose of this research to study the impact of HC practices on employee performance in telecom sector in Pakistan is to investigate whether HC practices and process are in fact followed in firms in industries or the studies of HR practices are only theorical. We support the presumption that HR practices are followed in industries however, these are adopted with modifications as per needs of the firms. Our results suggest that following such universal practices do help organizations achieve their objectives. We conclude that regulators and oversight boards need to focus on the adoption of HC/HR practices, if they wish to improve the performance of their firms. Pages 805 to 814 |
