For this purpose, the empirical investigation was made through Fixed Effect Model (FEM) by selecting the annual data period from the years 2006 to 2018. It was found that an increase in age of Islamic banks has a negative relationship with their performance. However, size and liquidity contribute positively towards Islamic banks’ performance, whereas, no effect of leverage was observed. Overall, the study concludes that the firm-specific variables explain the Islamic banks’ performance in Pakistan. This study also provides useful insight to managers and Islamic banks’ customers regarding firm-specific determinants of the Islamic banks operational in Pakistan. Pages 13 to 24 |

Prototypical Features and Practices of Romanised Arabic in Computer-mediated Communication Essa Salema, aUniversity of Jordan Department of English Language and Literature, Email: aes.salem@ju.edu.jo Advancements in computer-mediated communication (CMC) tools have had a great impact on the language used in interactions via these tools. This study explores recurrent features and patterns used by Jordanians on Facebook and WhatsApp in their Romanised Arabic interactions. To this end, a corpus of 200 Facebook posts/comments (collected from 36 randomly-selected informants representing different age groups, gender, and socio-economic backgrounds), transcripts of interactions in three WhatsApp groups, and dyadic WhatsApp text messages was compiled. The analysis was intended to find patterns in the use of language on the two social media platforms and required the occurrence of the same feature in both genres to be regarded as recurrent. The results reveal that there are two innovative recurrent practices related to Romanised Arabic (RA): transliteration of RA characters, and stereotypical code-switching (CS) practices that aim at establishing an online social identity. The findings also show that RA representation has three aspects: orthographic, linguistic and paralinguistic. The study provides insights into understanding how technological tools have changed language use in virtual communications. Pages 39 to 57 |

The Right of Self-determination by the Free Papua Movement through International Law Analysis Adelia Putri Zulkarnaina, Arie Afriansyahb, a,bFaculty of Law, Universitas Indonesia, Email: azulkarnainadelia@gmail.com, barie.afriansyah@ui.ac.id This paper calls the question of the right of self-determination under International Law. The issue of self-determination in Indonesia was re-triggered in December 2018, when the Free Papua Movement shot the employees of PT Istaka Karya, and 16 out of 28 people died in that tragedy. The Free Papua Movement, also known as OPM, is the first group to have echoed the independence for Papua since 1965. The Papua, known as West Papua by international society, has been a never-ending debate among scholars. The purpose of this study is to find the concept of self-determination, and peoples who are entitled to that right. The research method used is normative legal research and uses a historical approach and a doctrinal approach. The result shows that the concept of the right of self-determination is related to the context of decolonisation, which reveals the type of self-determination – not limited to external self-determination, but internal as well. Such context is not present in the Papua circumstances, whatsoever. Pages 58 to 73 |

For this purpose two search equations were made in the Scopus database, with the keywords “foresight, “Delphi Method” and “Scenarios. In order to find papers on Delphi applications and scenarios, based on the results obtained, an in-depth analysis was carried out on the documents of authors from the United States and Canada. In the search equation one, focused on scenarios, 66 papers were found, and 50 papers in the search equation focused on the Delphi method. From these 116 papers, 20 were studies conducted by authors from North America. Among the most important results, the contributions against methods and techniques used for Delphi such as Delphi policy, focus groups and WEB Tool for Delphi in real-time are highlighted. In scenarios, they made contributions in serious games, game cards, imaginative narratives, and sensitivity analysis. It was also found that North America, in the sample analysed, has collaborated with 17 percent of the total of papers for scenarios, and in Delphi, 14 percent. In scenarios that take into consideration the top five countries, North America contributes 30 percent – a figure higher than the 20 percent of France, which is considered the country of origin of the scenarios. Whereas with Delphi in the top four countries, North America is the region that contributes the most, with 25 percent, equal with Japan. Pages 74 to 95 |

Face-to-Face and E-Learning: Lessons Learned from the Forced Shift to E-Learning during the COVID-19 Outbreak Diena Dwidienawatia*,Sri Bramatoro Abdinagorob, David Tjahjanac, Dyah Gandasarid, Munawarohe, a,bBinus Business School, Bina Nusantara University, Indonesia, cUniversitas Multimedia Nusantara, Indonesia, dPolbangtan Bogor, Indonesia, eSwiss German University, Indonesia, Email: a*diena.tjiptadi@gmail.com The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak is not only affecting human health, it is also affecting other aspects of human life. In the education sector, the recommendation of health authorities in many countries has forced the education sector to find an alternative to face-to-face delivery methods. In this critical situation, the smooth and easy alternative to face-to-face education is distance learning. Distance learning or e-learning has increasingly gained popularity in higher education. Even though e-learning is a hot topic, e-learning is still more of a supplement to education in normal conditions. During the COVID-19 outbreak in Indonesia, almost all universities in Indonesia are delivering lectures through e-learning. This is a good opportunity to find out student's perceptions of e-learning. This study aimed to see what students like and dislike about e-learning and what their preferences are after experiencing un-intentioned e-learning. A qualitative study using questionnaires as an instrument was conducted with University Students at 4 campuses in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. They were asked to answer questions about their e-learning experiences, what they like, and what they dislike. One hundred and fifty-three questionnaires were analysed. The findings of the study showed that things that students like about e-learning were the flexiblity; that it can be done anywhere; is easy, less time consuming and relaxing. The things that they dislike were an unstable internet connection; unclear lecture delivery; less interaction with lecturers and friends; and the inability to ask a question in detail or to have a discussion. Most students still preferred face-to-face learning compared to e-learning. This study contributes to e-learning literature. This study also contributes to e-learning practice. Pages 119 to 134 |

The Contribution of Non-Governmental Organisations to Labour Issues, through Global Governance Modelling A. Rina Herawatia, Dian Indriyanib, a,bSTIA Lan Jakarta, Indonesia, Email: aaugustin.rina@gmail.com, bdian.indriyani@stialan.ac.id Indonesia has faced global economic issues which impact its national situation. These include issues as to human development, the environment and natural resources, peace and security, and global governance. This paper proposes a governance model to answer the global governance challenge, one which is suitable for Indonesia. It develops and evaluates a governance model that fits recent situations. Several aspects are analysed in this study; e.g. public participation, transparency, responsiveness, consensus-orientation, equity and inclusiveness, effectiveness and efficiency, and accountability. Through a qualitative approach, the study tried to understand the aspects of global governance which occurred in Indonesia. The participants were representative samples from a higher education background, local government, NGOs, and private parties. Several approaches were compared, to manage globalisation issues. They ranged from neoliberal, Marxist / anti-globalisation, to agency-centred approaches. They were reformulated to understand better the conceptualisation of global governance, and how it shaped society-state relations in the democratic system. The study found that Indonesia has implemented global governance imperfectly. Pages 148 to 165 |

A Better Approach to Internalising Nationalism in Higher Education Farida Hanuma, Suyatab, Lalu Sumardic, a,bGraduate School, Yogyakarta State University, Indonesia, cFaculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Mataram, Mataram, Indonesia, Email: afarida_hanum@uny.ac.id, clalu.unram@gmail.com Many ways have been pursued by universities to instil student nationalism, but not all methods are effective. This research aims for a better approach. A mixed-method type of explanatory sequential research is used. The steps are: Firstly, collecting qualitative data through interviews, FGDs, and documentation techniques, and then analysing it using interactive models. Secondly, collecting quantitative data using a questionnaire and analysing it using ANOVA. The findings of this study indicate there are two approaches to internalising nationalism in higher education, namely; the partial approach and the integral approach. The integral approach is more effective than the partial approach. Therefore, universities are encouraged to use an integral approach in developing student nationalism. Pages 182 to 197 |

Exposure to Different Supply Chain Risks: What Matters the Most to Supply Chain Resilience and Supply Chain Performance? Arsalan Zahid Piprania, Noor Ismawati Jaafarb*, Suhana Mohezarc, a,cDepartment of Operations & MIS, Faculty of Business and Accountancy, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, bDeputy Dean (Research & Development), Faculty of Business and Accountancy, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Email: aarsalanzp@gmail.com, b*isma_jaafar@um.edu.my, csuhanamohezar@um.edu.my Supply chain risks (SCRs) are a critical managerial issue. Their recurrence is elevated, with extreme ramifications for the existence and survival of the firm and its supply chain. This study focuses on how different SCRs influence supply chain resilience (SCRES) and ultimately supply chain performance (SCP). A quantitative methodology was chosen, with 182 respondents from large scale manufacturing organisations in Pakistan. The results show that, except for customer-oriented risk exposure, all risk types significantly influence SCR, while SCRES has a massive influence on SCP. Further, SCRES significantly mediates all other risk factors towards SCP. The results also pointed to the importance of investing and having certain resilient capabilities which enable firms to improve capability in anticipating, responding and recovering, at times of disruptions, and facilitating the enhancement of SCP.

Issues and Challenges to Professional Development for Language Proficiency among Indonesian EFL Teachers Him’mawan Adi Nugrohoa, Utami Widiatib, Sri Rachmajantic, aPost Graduate Student of English Education and Teaching, Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia, b,cUniversitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia, Email: ahimmawan_95@yahoo.co.id, bhimmawannugroho@unesa.ac.id, cutami.widiati.fs@um.ac.id, dloeksr@gmail.com This study investigated Indonesian EFL (English as Foreign Language) teachers’ issues, and challenges to professional development (PD), particularly as related to language proficiency. One critical proficiency in teaching English is teachers’ language. It holds a key role in facilitating learning. PD is essential for supporting teachers’ goals and responsibility in learning and working towards fulfilment as professional English teachers. This qualitative study used an in-depth interview as the main data collection instrument. The study participants were six professional EFL teachers, with five to 30 years of English teaching. The participants were found to view professional development for language proficiency as important. It is part of their life-long or career-long learning, influenced by the pedagogical environment and individual language proficiency awareness. The study also revealed some issues and challenges regarding PD for language proficiency, such as language proficiency, were rarely offered by the government. Teachers had to autonomously and individually join and participate in such events. The article recommends that Indonesian EFL teachers must have self-awareness of the importance of improving their language proficiency, by participating in PD for language proficiency, despite the issues and challenges they might encounter. They have to make use of any chances to help them keep their professionalism high, by becoming good EFL teachers. Pages 239 to 256 |

Employees’ resilience becomes a very important matter because employees are the agents of change. This study is a literature review on employee resilience empirical research that discuss variables in the organisation related to employee resilience, roles and measurements used. There are 48 variables found in the literature which show how important the role of employee resilience is in the organisation. These variables are then mapped into 9 groups and their role in employee resilience. Further, the study indicates what variables have been rigorously investigated and which have not. Next, the concept of employee resilience is discussed, both as personal capacity and developed resources acting as antecedent, mediator, moderator and outcome. 14 scale measurements on employee resilience are also mapped with quantitative approaches conducted by the previous studies, in the context of work and non-work. Those measurements are then adopted in the context of working, be it as a whole, in part or in a shorter version than the previous ones. Finally, results of the study could be used as to rationalise and consider further studies related to employee resilience in the future. Pages 257 to 279 |

Factors Affecting Farmers Decisions to Convert Pepper Garden into a Coal Mining Area Achmad Zainiaa*, Andi Siddikbb, Mariyahac, aAgribusiness Department, Agricultural Faculty, Mulawarman University, bMagister Program of Environmental Science, Mulawarman University, Email: a*ach.zaini@gmail.com The present study aims to analyse factors that affect a farmers decisions to convert pepper gardens into a coal mining area. This study will also explore the relationship between the characteristic of the respondents residing in Batuah Village in Los Janan, Kutai Kertanegara. This study was conducted over 2 (two) years. T Primary data for this study was obtained through observation and direct interviews with 31 respondents that were performed by giving questions. Secondary data was obtained by reviewing papers and data from related institutions that would support this study. Analysis of farmers perception on shifting the function of their land from pepper gardens to a coalmining area was performed in an ordinal manner using a Likert scale. A Spearman correlation test was used to measure the closeness of the relationship between respondents characteristic in making decisions (to changing the function of the land). Based on the findings, the aspects that dominantly affect the decision of the farmers on converting their pepper garden into a coal mining area can be seen from a technical aspect, socio-cultural, and economic aspect. It was found that a farmer’s gender has a close relation with farmer’s motivation from a socio-cultural perspective. It also has a close relation with farmer’s motivation in the technical aspect. A farmer’s age also has a close relationship with the attribute of income structure. The number of farmer’s family members had a close relationship with a farmer’s intention to developing business and the width of their land. It is only the factor of farmer’s education that is insignificantly correlated with socio-cultural, technical, and economic aspects. Pages 381 to 399 |

The Reconceptualisation of Turkish Identity: Foreign Policy between Grand Strategy and Pragmatism between 2002 and 2019 Ayman Saleh Al-Barasneha, aPrince Al Hussein Bin Abdullah II School of International Studies, University of Jordan, Email: aa.albarasneh@ju.edu.jo Since the AKP ascendancy to power in 2002, Turkey’s foreign policy has been reshaped emphasising a new set of foreign policy tenets. The APK elite has been working assiduously to accentuate Turkey’s geostrategic significance and historical depths to play a more influential regional role based on the mantra of zero problems via pursuing soft power tools and economic interdependencies. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of Turkish foreign policy and how it interacts with national identity. Moreover, it explains the changing environment in the Middle East and how it impacts on the attitudes and identity of Turkish foreign policy. The study borrows some insights from realist theory to understand the states’ motivations and inspects role theory which provides useful interpretation about changes in participants’ behaviour in foreign policy. This paper argue that domestic politics in Turkey and the changing environment in the Middle East, as shown by Arab uprisings, have turned the Turkish emphasis from soft power to hard instruments built on using military capabilities. Simultaneously, the AKP leadership’s active involvement in the Middle East does not signal a dramatic shift in Turkey’s state identity. Rather, Turkey remains part of western identity and alliance.

The study discusses the opinions of researchers regarding procurement processes in various countries that are currently warm where they’re more applicable and helps supply chain practitioners assess various procurement activities before it is too late to revise decisions regarding their use in electricity companies. The model was developed based on a systematic mapping study of articles related to procurement, and was examined by semi-structured interviews with state-owned electricity companies that carry out procurement activities. The findings suggest that Procurement Strategy is very important for electricity companies to meet their electricity needs. Proper, fast and efficient procurement will provide a large profit impact for Companies in order to support economic growth. This study is limited by the availability of applied cases. Therefore, it cannot be considered a case study, but rather a literature review followed by a number of interviews. However, it produced a model that forms the basis for further exploratory studies with more empirical data. Pages 469 to 482 |

Reliability of Creative Thinking Module on the Creativity Level of Engineering Undergraduates in Malaysia Yaw Long, Chuaa, Balamuralithara Balakrishnanb, Voon Chiet Chaic, Pooi Ying Choongd, a,dUniversiti Tenaga Nasional, Malaysia, Jalan Ikram-Uniten, 43000 Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia, bFakulti Seni, Komputeran dan Industri Kreatif, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, 35900 Tanjong Malim, Perak Darul Ridzuan, Malaysia, cHeriot-Watt University Malaysia, No 1, Jalan Venna P5/2, Precinct 5, 62200 Putrajaya, Malaysia, Email: a*Chuayl@uniten.edu.my Creativity is an important factor when it comes down to engineering designs. Creativity and engineering complement each other to provide useful yet eye-opening solutions to everyday problems. Recent research has indicated that creativity, which happens to be one of the vital skills for engineers in the 21st century that can be taught and learnt, has reduced significantly over the years. Thus, there is a need for engineering educators to address this issue by introducing creative thinking as a skill to be acquired by the current generation of engineering undergraduates. This research paper presents the outcome of a research conducted to improve and enhance the creativity level of local engineering undergraduates at a private institution of higher learning through a Creative Thinking Module that features a number of creative thinking tools such as Brain sketching, Concept Maps and Morphological Analysis. The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking Figural Forms was applied to measure the creativity level of respondents in a local Private University. Results indicate that the Reliability of Creative Thinking Skills Module is acceptable. Pages 512 to 524 |

Design Ethics Education for Creative Industry Programs: Attitude towards Socio-Ethical Issues in Design amongst Malaysian Design Undergraduates Balamuralithara Balakrishnana*, Muhammad Fadhil Wongb, Fumihiko Tochinaic, Ahmad Nizam Othmand, Muhammad Zaffwan Idrise, a,b,d,eSultan Idris Education University, MALAYSIA, cKanazawa Institute of Technology, JAPAN, Email: a*balab@fskik.upsi.edu.my This paper reports the outcome of a study of Malaysian design undergraduates regarding their attitude towards socio-ethical issues in the creative design industry. The study was carried out in two Universities (University A and University B) in Malaysia, involving 120 design undergraduates. A survey was administered whereby a questionnaire was distributed amongst respondents to elicit their level of agreement concerning each statement in the questionnaire. The results of the data analyses show that the attitude of Malaysian design undergraduates towards socio-ethical issues is low except for respondents from University A, who have a positive attitude towards environmental and sustainable development issues. This study suggests that a design ethics education model should be introduced in the curriculum of creative industry programs in Malaysian higher education institutions since no such model or subject is available in the examined institutions.

The Roots of Administrative Reform in Indonesia Samodra Wibawaa, Antonius Galih Prasetyob, Darulfa Aziza’ Nur’ainic, a,cGadjah Mada University, Indonesia, bNational Institute of Public Administration, Indonesia, Email: asamodra03@yahoo.com, bantgalihprasetyo@gmail.com, cdarulfa.a@mail.ugm.ac.id Indonesian public administration has undergone a long history since 1945. Many efforts have been committed to enhancing their quality and capacity in the form of policy, institution, or idea. Based on the literature review, this article describes the historical development of Indonesian public administration, which can be seen as a journey of administrative reform. The development is divided into six phases: rationalisation, development administration, administrative improvement, administrative reform, administrative adjustment, and bureaucratic reform. Each stage is characterised by distinctive basic concerns and driven by a specific goal. Along the continuum of Indonesian public administration's history, some basic ideas and similar institutions were created, recreated, and modified. However, the dream to reach the ideal public administration has not been achieved yet. Corruption, bad management, and lack of service-oriented mentality still become the main problems that need to be confronted in the future. In the journey to enter a new historical phase, it is believed that the reform needs to be continued. Pages 723 to 740 |

Teachers’ Knowledge of Phonological Awareness Levels: A Case of Jordanian EFL Teachers’ Perception Mohammad Husam Alhumsia*, Anas Ahmad Awwadb, aSaudi Electronic University, Saudi Arabia, bIsra University, Jordan, Email: a*m.husamalhumsi@gmail.com, banas.awwad@iu.edu.jo Phonological awareness is perceived as one of the key building blocks of the development of emerging reading skill. To date, little is known about how phonological awareness instructions can be implemented effectively in EFL classrooms. In Jordan, studies revealed that young readers struggle with English reading development, which represents a challenge to EFL teachers. Therefore, this study aims at investigating the perception of Jordanian EFL teachers of the knowledge of phonological awareness levels at emerging readers’ stage and identifying the factors that affect teachers’ perception. A cross-sectional questionnaire was used and distributed to a sample of 73 participants at primary private schools in Jordan. Descriptive statistics, independent sample paired t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyse the data. The findings revealed a misinterpretation regarding the concepts of phonological awareness and phonics among EFL teachers. The results further revealed that EFL teachers’ perception of phonological awareness was not mediated by their academic qualifications, teaching experience, gender, or age. The findings will be interpreted and discussed, and their pedagogical implications will be finally highlighted. Pages 814 to 832 |

Integrated Social Media Marketing with Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) in Bali Indonesia I Gusti Ayu Ketut Giantaria*, Anak Agung Ayu Sriathib, Ni Wayan Ekawatic, Ni Nyoman Kerti Yasad, Made Setinie, a,b,c,d,eFaculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University, Indonesia, Email: a*ayugiantari@unud.ac.id Marketing can be the heart of a business. E-WOM among its users can be a persuasive tool to encourage users to make purchases especially with social media support, which has become a part of daily life. The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive model to investigate the effect of social media marketing and e-WOM on consumer purchase intentions by integrating the elaboration likelihood model (ELM), and the theory of reasoned action (TRA). The analysis technique used is Partial Least Square (PLS). The research findings show that all variables have a direct and significant influence. However, their attachment to E-WOM did not mediate positively and significantly the effect of their attachment to social media marketing on purchase intentions. This means that the intention to make a purchase will be stronger because it is driven by a stronger marketing engagement through social media that serves as a reference for teenagers. This means that their attachment to E-WOM in this study does not have a role as a mediating variable. The results of the analysis are expected to be considered by producers and marketers, to be able to face further competition and can be used as an alternative business development strategy. In fact, for the government, this research is expected to be an input in policy making that drives the pace of economic growth in Bali. Pages 913 to 930 |

Common Mistakes in Official Communications Computer Processing Rasha Saud Abdulaali AL Tahera, Hind Rustum Mohammedb, Zahraa Azhar Muhammadc, a,b,cUniversity of Kufa- Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics, Email: arashas.abdulaali@uokufa.edu.iq, bhindrustum.shaaban@uokufa.edu.iq, czahraa.alramahi@uokufa.edu.iq Common mistakes in official communications are among the most important problems that face us in our institutional societies. The present has invaded with its scientific and practical life, but we must employ them to serve our Arabic language, which is the language of the Holy Quran, to be a lifeline seeking to preserve that language on the one hand, and to overcome the difficulties experienced by the employee on the other hand. Thus, this research came to reduce those mistakes that have spread – and noticeably in our official speeches – by creating a program that can diagnose the grammatical, spelling, and linguistic error in those speeches, and then correct them, whether the correction is with one word, a sentence or the full text.

The Impact of Strategic Management Tools and Techniques on Organisational Performance Management: Mid-Level Managers’ Perceptions Saleh Alarifia, aAssistant Professor/Management Information Systems, Taif University Taif, Saudi Arabia, Email: as.hamed@tu.edu.sa DOI: 10.53333/IJICC2013/131178 Strategic management and its factors are among the most important factors affecting the efficiency of business and increasing its competitive advantage among others. One of the most important components of this is the Business Intelligence System (BI). Concern in this regard has always been confined only to the views of senior managers, both in choosing the technology that helps the business to implement its strategic plan and put it in the scope of actual implementation in what works for the benefit and development of the business or regarding the (BI) system and its impact. This neglect of the perspectives of middle managers is the basis for this research, as it should be highlighted unlike researches that have been done before. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate BI systems as viewed by mid-level managers. Finally, this study concluded that from a medium-level perspective, a comprehensive strategic plan model can be made. This study also demonstrated the effectiveness of BI systems in improving the performance of business strategic management. After collecting and analysing data, the researcher found that there is a relationship between organisational alignment and business activities, and a relationship between organisational alignment and the efficiency of the CPM process. However, the researcher did not find possible ways to influence the organisational alignment itself. Pages 987 to 1002 |

The Living Law in Indonesian Penal Code: A Combination of Legal Certainty and Justice Hanafi Amrania, aLecturer at Criminal Law Department, Faculty of Law Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Email: ah.amrani@uii.ac.id This article considers the question of whether the concept of living law, which is not written, can be accommodated in Indonesian criminal law with the type of written law based on the principle of legality. Many people assume that living law contradicts legality because both have different goals; justice for the former and legal certainty for the latter. I argue that the concept of living law in the Indonesian Penal Code is not at all contrary to legality, but rather combines legal certainty and justice in the Indonesian legal system. They are studied based on aspects of legal substance, legal structure and a legal culture that places living law and criminal law in the right proportion in society. Pages 1030 to 1044 |

Religious Pluralism in the Thoughts of Religious Leaders in Malang, Indonesia Achmad Khudori Soleha, Erik Sabti Rahmawatib, a,bUniversitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, Indonesia, Email: akhudorisoleh@pps.uin-malang.ac.id, berikrahmawati@syariah.uin-malang.ac.id Social and political considerations alone are inadequate to be the basis for pluralist attitudes so as to build relationships between religious communities because conflicts between religious communities still occur. This pluralist attitude needs a theological foundation to be made reliable. The purpose of this study is to explore the thoughts of religious leaders in Malang on the scriptural basis of religious pluralism, the methods of thinking used and the forms of activities applied. The analysis method uses the interview as the source of primary data. Document analysis was also carried out. Twelve religious leaders were the subjects, representing six religions in Malang: Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism. The results of the study showed that the thoughts of religious leaders were divided into two: pluralist and inclusive. There are four models of their thinking methods: privatisation, filtering, hermeneutics and proportionality. The thought of religious pluralism were applied in two forms: doctrine and social activities. The findings of this study are twofold: first, correcting Webber's theory of the relationship of beliefs and deeds; second, a new method called "Patterns of Pluralism Interpretation". Based on this, the research suggests that pluralist verses continue to be socialised and more interfaith social activities have been carried out. Pages 1063 to 1078 |

Why Enterprise Resources Planning Technology is Needed for Logistics Integration and Retailer Satisfaction Hotlan Siagiana, Zeplin Jiwa Husada Tariganb*, a,bPetra Christian University, Master Management Program, Indonesia, Email: ahotlan.siagian@petra.ac.id, b*zeplin@petra.ac.id This study examines the impact of enterprise resource planning (ERP) technology on retailer satisfaction through internal logistics integration and manufacturing integration. This research was conducted with 135 manufacturers domiciled in East Java, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire and analysis was performed using SmartPLS. The results showed that ERP technology influence logistics integration. However, ERP technology does not affect manufacturing integration. ERP affects retailer satisfaction. Logistics integration influences manufacturing integration. Logistics integration influences retailer satisfaction. Manufacturing integration affects retailer satisfaction. One of the interesting findings is proof that internal logistics integration mediates the influence of ERP implementation on the retailer. However, manufacturing integration did not mediate the influence of ERP technology on retailer satisfaction. Hence, the ERP technology adopted by a manufacturer affects retailer satisfaction through direct and indirect effects. The results of this study provide an insight for industry practitioners that implement ERP, an excellent benefit for the company. Pages 1090 to 1104 |

Investigating Organisational Performance and Corporate Social Responsibility Tri Minh Haa, Hanh Tien Thi Nguyenb, a,bInternational University, Vietnam National University – HCMC, Email: ahmtri@hcmiu.edu.vn, btienng96@gmail.com This article investigates the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and organisational performance (OP) based on stakeholders' perceptions in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Adopting a cross-sectional design, a sample of 280 responses was collected using the cluster sampling method. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to examine collected data. The results showed that eight out of eleven relationships, including customer (on non-financial performance), supplier, community and environment significantly affect OP, except for employee and customer (on financial performance). The overall model indicated a weak positive relationship between CSR and OP. This implies that socially responsible activities as regards supplier, community and environment can improve organisational performance, but not CSR pertaining to customers (on non-financial performance) and employees.

Involving English Teachers in National English Language Policies in the GCC Hajar Mahfoodha, Shadiya al-Hashmib, aLecturer, University of Bahrain, bAssistant Professor, University of Bahrain, Email: ahajarm@gmail.com, hakadhem@uob.edu.bh, bShadia_alhashmi@yahoo.com, salhashmi@uob.edu.bh English language teachers in the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) countries strive to adjust national educational objectives to their classrooms, particularly in Bahrain and the UAE. Most teachers appropriate curricula based on short-term goals entailing a compromise of national policies. Such appropriations stem from different levels of students in the classroom and national policies. Many English language teachers are highly critical of national English language policies, while others argue that such policies are unrealistic because they do not involve English language teachers. This situation results in a gap between national English language policies in theory and implementation in pedagogical practices. This paper proposes that education decision-makers of both Bahrain and the UAE can constructively involve teachers in developing national English language policies that cope with global trends of ELT pedagogy. Involving native Arab teachers in developing education policies is essential to counter current local economic conditions and marketplace challenges, standardise a national policy and preserve the native culture in a globalised world.

Classroom Management in the Student-Teachers’ Teaching Practicum: Challenges and Recommendations for Teacher Education Dwiyani Pratiwia, Ali Saukahb, Sri Rachmajantic, Mirjam Anugerahwatid, a Doctoral Student of Universitas Negeri Malang, bcdUniversitas Negeri Malang Classroom management has become one of the critical issues which student-teachers face in their teaching experience when entering the teaching practicum. This study explored the concerns of student-teachers regarding challenges and strategies in classroom management. It was part of a larger scope of a study concerning the dilemmas that student-teachers faced during teaching practicum. This study used a sequential explanatory mixed method design consisting of two phases: phase one was a quantitative method and the second phase was a qualitative method. The quantitative data were collected using questionnaires and the qualitative data were collected by means of interviews and reflection journals about their experiences in coping with the students’ discipline and compliance. The findings of this study prompt a discussion about the importance of providing the student-teachers with classroom management skills in teacher education, before the teaching practicum. It also highlights the issue of classroom management which involves the shift of focus from managing only the behaviour to both managing the behaviour and learning. Pages 1185 to 1202 |

The Influence of Environmental Leadership and the Locus of Control on the Application of Green Concrete Acep Hidayata, Syafwandib, Syafiadi rizki abdilac, Ahmad Syukrond, aMercubuana University, Indonesia, b,c,dSTIA Menara Siswa Email: aacep_hidayat@mercubuana.ac.id, bsyafwandi@menarasiswa.ac.id, crizkisyafiadi@gmail.com, dahmadsyukron69@gmail.com The objective of this research is to find out the effect of environmental leadership and the locus of control on the application of green concrete. An ex post facto method has been used by selecting 24 samples for each cell. The reliability of environmental leadership was .792, the locus of control was .86 and green concrete was .89. The data was analysed by a two-way ANOVA. Research results revealed that there was Green concrete with significant differences between those employers who have employee environmental leadership transformational compared to employee environmental leadership transactional. Moreover, there was a significant interaction between environmental leadership and the locus of control on the application of Green concrete. It could be concluded that the management who perceived environmental leadership as transactional was not always more effective when compared to employee environmental leadership. When it comes to affecting ‘greener’ employment, it depends on mostly internal or external locus of control. Pages 1217 to 1231 |

Collegial Supervision to Improve the Quality of Education Mukhneri Mukhtara*, Herlyna Wardoyob, Sudarmi Sudarmic, Burmansah Burmansahd, Mochamad Wahyudie, Rudi Hartonof, aProfessor in Educational Management, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia, bProfessor Asst. and Lecturer, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia, cProfessor Asst. and Lecturer, Politeknik Kesehatan Tanjung Karang, Lampung, Indonesia, dLecturer in Buddhist Education Department, STIAB Jinarakkhita, Lampung, Indonesia, eProfessor Asst. and Lecturer, Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika, Jakarta, Indonesia, fProfessor Asst. and Lecturer, Universitas Djuanda, Bogor, Indonesia, Email: a*mukhneri@unj.ac.id, bherlyna@ui.ac.id, csudarmi@poltekkes-tjk.ac.id, dnyanabandhu@ekayana.or.id, ewahyudi@bsi.ac.id, frudi.hartono@unida.ac.id It has been 19 years since education autonomy in Indonesia with the aim to improve the quality of education was instigated; however, the results have not been in line with the expectations of the community and the government. This is due, in part, to the principal's job as the education supervisor, which, given the fact that the supervisor's ability is not in accordance with the expertise of the teachers being supervised, is not maximised. To make the most of the principal’s function as an education supervisor, principals are ready and willing to delegate their duties and responsibilities as well as give autonomy to the coordinators, senior teachers, and teachers who are the experts in their respective field of study. The research design of this study is a quantitative approach using descriptive methods. The results showed: (1) the delegation of tasks, responsibilities and autonomy given to teachers can improve, and develop the behaviour and ability of teachers in creating quality learning systems in schools. (2) The role of teachers as education supervisors in improving the quality of their colleagues is integrated in collegial supervision, and (3) collegial supervision is an effort made by peers in improving and developing teaching and learning in schools, so that quality education is achieved.

The Impact of Globalisation on the Culture, Society and Literature of Viet Nam Hoang Thi Huea, Nguyen Hoang Nguyenb, Gatut Susantoc, Endah Priyatnid, a,University of Education, Hue University, Viet Nam, bUniversity of Forein Language, Hue University, c,dUnivesitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia, Email: ahoangthihue@hueuni.edu.vn,Hoanghuedhsp@gmail.com, bwarlocknguyen@gmail.com, cGatut.susanto.fs@um.ac.id, dEndah.tri.fs@um.ac.id This article specifies the close, dominant relationship between renovation, society and literature development. In the Viet Nam renovation period of exchange and integration with the world, there have been many changes. Renovation policies have brought great achievements for Vietnamese society, economy and culture. Renovation in all areas is the basis and the premise for Vietnamese literature renovation. Affirming the renovation of theoretical thinking, literary renovation is indispensable. Vietnamese literature in the early 21st century, with the achievements of literature in the renovation period, has shown the spirit of democracy, freedom of expression, and deep integration into world literature in the context of globalisation. This occurred as a consequence of underlying political factors, socio-cultural situations, the reality of literature and theories, and research and criticism in Vietnam. Using a survey method that examines the achievements in social development, the results of the article indicate the cause of renovations in literature originates from political factors, the socio-cultural situation, as well as literature and theory, research, and criticism of Vietnam.

A Methodological Approach to Judges' Decisions as a Form of Supervision of Judge Behavior by the Supreme Court and the Judicial Commission Mukti Fajara, aProfessor of Law Faculty, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Email: amuktifajar_umy@yahoo.co.id Judges have a noble and burdensome task. They are obliged to examine cases and make decisions in the name of God and justice. Therefore the judge is given power by the constitution to be free and independent, without pressure or influence from anyone. Despite that, the judge is still an imperfect human being and often makes errors. Because of that, internal supervision by the Supreme Court and external supervision by the Judicial Commission are necessary to oversee the professionalism and behaviour of judges. The judge's decision is jurisprudence, which is an open legal doctrine that must be understood through legal logic. That is why academic aspects are needed for it to be more objective and effective. This article proposes the following problem: How is the methodological approach to judgment and decisions of judges based on legal logic, as an effort to supervise between the Supreme Court and the Judicial Commission on the behaviour of judges? The research applied the normative juridical method by studying the principles and theories of law and legislation related to the supervision of judges in Indonesia. The findings show that to conduct joint supervision between the Supreme Court and the Judicial Commission on the professionalism and behaviour of judges, a breakthrough is needed by carrying out a methodological approach and academic analysis of the judges' judgment and decisions. The results of the analysis of the judge's decision are not to overturn the judge's decision, but to indicate the existence of fairness, oddity, or deviation from the judge's behaviour objectively and effectively.

Nuclear Crimes in Peaceful Fields Ahmed Hamdallah Ahmeda, Zain Alabdeen Awad Kademb, a,bCollege of Law, AL -Qadisiyah University, Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Republic of Iraq, Iraq, Emails: aahmed.hamdallah@qu.edu.iq, bzain.alabdin@mu.edu.iq Humans seek, through scientific capabilities and technological development to use nuclear energy as an alternative energy to traditional sources. This is as a result of its efficiency and its high capacity for generation in all fields. There is no doubt that scientific development must have a dark side, which represents the negative effects of that use and that nuclear energy has uses in the peaceful field. But as a result of the use of nuclear energy, there are crimes and acts that may inflict interests protected by law of serious and grave harm. Therefore, we see legislation that has enacted laws to address some of these problems, even though its treatment needs a broader view of the seriousness of the issue. This includes Egyptian legislation such as Law No. 59 of 1960 in the matter of organising work with Egyptian ionising radiation, as well as international agreements such as the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material of 1980, and the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism of 2005.

Consonant Lenition among Speakers of Arabic Jumanah Shakeeb mohammad Taqia, aCollege of education for Women, Iraqia University, Iraq, Email: ajumanah.taqi@aliraqia.edu.iq English has become the language of communication in almost all countries particularly for trade, business and educational purposes. English is thus taught as a second or foreign language. Efforts are made to teach the native accent, yet, the teachers who teach are also non-native. Most of the communication that takes place in English in non-native countries is among non-native speakers. Hence, a dialect of English is created which is influenced by the native language of each country. Hundreds of non-native dialects are currently in development. Lenition is a weakening of certain sounds in continuously. The influence of the mother tongue affects the sounds of Arabic speakers while using English. This paper studies examples of lenition from Arabic speech of teacher-student conversations and investigates how far it does or does not affect overall communication. The researcher has analysed selected conversational passages to study consonant lenition in Arabic speech. It was concluded that Iraqi speakers of English do conform to some patterns of lenition, but differ in some patterns from native English speakers. The overall communication is not affected.

Public Consultation in the Acquisition of Customary Land in Indonesia: An FPIC Perspective Sri Hajatia, Sri Winarsib, Xavier Nugrahac, Muhammad Jibrild, Reynard Kristiane, aDepartment of Jurisprudence Faculty of Law Universitas Airlangga, bDepartment of Administrative Law Faculty of Law Universitas Airlangga, cFaculty of Law Universitas Airlangga, d,eFaculty of Law Universitas Gadjah Mada, Email: asri.hajati@fh.unair.ac.id, bSri.winarsi@fh.unair.ac.id, cxavier.nugraha-2015@fh.unair.ac.id, dmuhjibril.law@gmail.com, ereynard_kristian@yahoo.com To this day, the indigenous community is stigmatised as an obstacle to development. In reality, indigenous peoples are marginalised in the development process because the government has not yet fully recognised their rights. This research is juridical-normative research, in which it aims to identify the importance of free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) in land acquisition law for indigenous communities and to understand the problem of public consultation on customary land and find solutions to these problems. Land acquisition law for public use in Indonesia is inseparable from FPIC. One of the new nomenclatures that come together with the Land Acquisition Law is a public consultation, where the mechanism of public consultation is fundamental to build public participation. Based on this research, it is found that there is a contradiction in the manifestation of the principle of consent in the positive law of land acquisition in Indonesia. The author offers the ideal concept of public consultation in FPIC-based land acquisition. This concept will help to provide more substantive justice to indigenous communities whose land is the object of land acquisition. Pages 1360 to 1374 |

Politics and Women's Leadership: Understanding Women's Political Participation in Public Leadership Elly Nurliaa*, Utang Suwaryob, Widya Setiabudic, Netty Pd, aFaculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung & Mathla’ul Anwar University, Banten, Indonesia, b,c,dFaculty of Social and Political Sciences Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia, Email: a*elly16001@maill.unpad.ac.id This study aims to explain women's political participation and public leadership. Two main points are discussed. The problem of women's political participation in public leadership is indeed full of twists and turns. Various obstacles, ranging from cultural factors, religion, and others, are still barriers for women to participate in public leadership. This study uses qualitative methods that are naturalistic and descriptive by obtaining data through various secondary sources. The results of the study showed that women were able to compete on par with men. In leadership, also between men and women, there are substantial differences. However, women have the advantage in leading because; they have the ability to persuade, have a lower level of ego, do not eliminate firmness, flexibility and considerate work ethic, and are able to lead with empathy and willingness to take risks.

The Implementation of Early Childhood Mathematics Education in Stimulating Collaborative Abilities: A Local Wisdom Approach Feri Faila Sufaa*, M.Hery Yuli Setiawanb, a,bEarly Childhood Education Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Slamet Riyadi, Surakarta, Indonesia, Email: a*ferifailasufa@unisri.ac.id Mathematics education is still a polemic in Early Childhood Education (ECE), as is learning to read, write and count. But the introduction of mathematics can be introduced to early childhood through daily activities and environmental approaches. The purpose of this study is to describe the need for mathematical recognition at an early age, and the supporting and inhibiting factors in early mathematics learning by utilising local wisdom. The study was conducted at twenty institutions along the Solo Highway, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and questionnaires to educators and early age parents. The results of the study explain how local wisdom could be used to stimulate mathematics learning. Pages 1387 to 1398 |

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the Sustainability of Pt. Pertamina RU II Production in a Mangrove Area of the Pakning River Dadang Mashura, Sujiantob, Sofyan Husein Siregarc, Ridwan Manda Putrad, a,b,c,dDepartment of Environmental Science, Universitas Riau, Email: adadang.mashur@lecturer.unri.ac.id, bsujianto@lecturer.unri.ac.id, csofyan.siregar@lecturer.unri.ac.id, drm.putra61@gmail.com Sustainable development is a collaboration between the government, private sector, and the community that is carried out with the concept of participation because the community is an entity that exists in an area that together seeks to realise social welfare. One of the problems faced in the environmental field is the problem of abrasion and damage to mangrove ecosystems along 46.5 km, and it is included in the critical category spread in five districts in Bengkalis Regency. Therefore through the Green Jewel Program, the local community cooperates with PT. Pertamina RU II Production of Sungai Pakning to rehabilitate mangrove forests. This type of research is Mixed Method, which is a collaboration between qualitative and quantitative approaches with an emphasis on qualitative and quantitative methods as a reinforcement of qualitative findings and data collection through interviews, surveys, observations, literature studies and focus group discussions (FGD). The findings of this study indicate that the level of sustainability of the Permata Hijau CSR Program of PT. Pertamina RU II River Pakning in the mangrove area in a multi-dimensional category is less sustainable. This is because of the Permata Hijau CSR program of PT. Pertamina RU II Sungai Pakning is still oriented towards the social and technological dimensions and ignores the ecological, economic and institutional dimensions. Pages 1399 to 1422 |

The Social Role of Graffiti of Protesters of 2019 Saba Qais Al-Yassirya, aCollege of Education, University of Kufa, Najaf, Iraq, Email: asaba.abdulhussein@uokufa.edu.iq Artistic achievements over time have links to the human being and his basic needs. Freedom and demanding rights are among the most important human needs. What happened in Tahrir Square in the centre of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, was a cry of freedom and an expression of my opinion with drawings simulating events. On political and social life, close to the Monument of Freedom, youthful cartoons were embodied in a peaceful manner that raises controversy through artistic expressions in contemporary formulations that challenge reality. As a result of repression and fear of losing documenting these drawings, the study attempted to document this special period in the life of Iraq, which demonstrated the culture of this generation and their awareness of their rights and duties towards the homeland. It is evident in the graffiti there is a cultural and artistic awareness and a clear interest in the cultural heritage. Through analysing the models, there is a focus on basic concepts indicating the maturity of the demonstrators and their awareness by emphasizing the martyr through the icon of the revolution (Safaa al-Saray) and the white shirt to denote peace and the student majority for the revolution. The emergence of marginalized or poor strata of society in the common struggle. Pages 1423 to 1441 |

Turkish – Israeli Co-operation and its Effect upon the Turkish – Iranian Relations 1996 -1997 Shatha Faisal Rashoa, Mohammed Dakhil Kareemb*, a,bUniversity of Al-Hamdaniya, Email: b*dr.mdksh@gmail.com The second half of the 20th century has witnessed significant relation between Turkey and Israel. They have started by the Turkish recognition in the state of Israel after its establishment in 1949. Then, there is diplomatic exchange and culture ties and economic Co-operation. This reached the climax in the last decade of the 20th century between 1996-1997 when both parties have signed many agreements in the military and security field as well as exchanging intelligence expert and military manoeuvres. No doubt, these ties reaching this level has affected negatively on the ration of turkey with its neighbouring state Iran from its side has considered the Turkish-Israeli alliance might threaten directly its national security although there is a continuation of political and economic rations, taking into consideration not to raise problems on level of officials and in return Israel still looks at the development of relations between Turkey and the Arab states may affect negatively on its national and regional security and at the sometime Israel tries not to deepen the relations between Iran from one side and Syria and Lebanon from anther.

The Historical Route of Puppets Arts Experience in Iraq Zainab abd al-Ameer Ahmeda, aUniversity of Baghdad - College of Fine Arts, Throughout the ages, the importance of puppets arts comes from the importance of the puppet. Its first function appears by using it in pagan religious rituals and magic. The puppet has a series of functional changing. It has played different political, social, and cultural roles, by that it became out of religious field and entered the artistic field. Therefore, types of puppets arts play big roles in the different fields of life. The researcher has limited the problem of this research as that, the real existence of puppets arts in Iraq has a great deal of weakness and obscurity. As well as the specialists in this field have fogginess intellectual views, whether they are in the governmental foundations or not, and whether they have a direct contact with the puppets arts or not. The researcher has also found a clear weakness in formal and scientific documentations of the artistic efforts that have done for puppets arts. This weakness comes from the lack of awareness in dealing with these arts by describing them, as effective arts like all other arts that have the specialists' interest. Moreover, there are very limited scientific researches that shed light on these efforts by analyzing their accuracies and amounts, especially those researches about puppets arts in Iraq. This research depends on historical analysis to describe puppets arts in Iraq during the period 1954-2017. The results show that the developing of these arts in Iraq have four phases according to artistic and educational levels, which are as the following: 1.Initiatives phase (1955-1966) 2. Establishing phase(1967-1979) 3.Recession and hesitating phase(1980-2000) 4. Renaissance and dedication phase(2003-2017). The most important suggestion of this research is to dedicate the enlightenment of the puppets arts by specialists in the formal foundation, especially Ministry of education, ministry of culture, ministry of higher education, and official media institution. As well as building national center for puppet arts in Baghdad, and establishing sub-centers for it in all cities. Puppets arts should treat as main subjects in institutes and colleges of fine arts in Iraq. Official Theatrical foundation should make for puppets arts and it can add to department of cinema and theater or department of the child's culture, and foundation of festivals specializing in puppets arts whether in theater or in cinema.
