{"title":"Development Of Customer Requirements and Design Criteria of Hijab Via Quality Function Deployment Among Female Muslim Students in the Faculty of Management at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia","authors":"Lim Kim Yew, Tan Owee Kowang, Muhammad Isfan Haris, Ong Choon Hee, Phung Thai Minh Trang, Phatthararuethai Kenikasahmanworakhun","doi":"10.61707/x5nygb28","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.61707/x5nygb28","url":null,"abstract":"As a university in a nation where Moslems make up the majority, fashion-related matters will spark its interest among students and entrepreneurs, including hijab. With a wide variety of specifications and selections, it is difficult for hijab manufacturers to accommodate a variety of customer requirements. Hence, to stay competitive, it is important for hijab manufacturers to comprehend customer requirements and transform them as design specifications for hijab. As such, this research aims to apply Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to identify the important customer’s requirements of hijab for female Moslem students in the Faculty of Management (FM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), to determine the important design criteria for a new hijab for female Moslem students, and to assess the difference in hijab customers' requirements based on demographics. Five important attributes are identified from the literature review, which are type of hijab, material, colour selection, motif, and price. This study is quantitative based via survey questionnaire, with 216 female moslem students in FM responded. Kendall Coefficient test result revealed that the requirements ranking by the 216 respondents are consistent. Descriptive analysis results suggested that respondents viewed “colour selection” as the most important hijab requirement, followed by material, type of hijab, price and motif. Subsequently, a set of Hijab product specification is proposed based on frequency analysis. The proposed specification fulfilled a minimum of 70% of the customers requirement. Additionally, ANOVA analysis results suggested that customers’ body weight and height made no difference on customers requirement ranking, but customer nationality does affect the ranking of motif requirement. The implication of the finding is perhaps to provide guidance to the hijab manufacturers or Small and Medium Enterprise by concentrating on the certain attribute of hijab to be able to meet the customers’ requirements. ","PeriodicalId":508212,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Religion","volume":"8 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141920626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Jeneponto, challenges in traditional and cultural empowerment significantly hinder local development, as indicated in the DPMD's 2021 Performance Report. A qualitative approach was employed to deeply understand the human resource capacity-building phenomenon at the Dinas Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dan Desa (DPMD) of Jeneponto Regency. Data were collected through primary surveys and secondary sources, including structured and unstructured interviews with key informants such as heads of departments and local community leaders. This study found that Training and continuous professional development are essential for enhancing the individual and collective capabilities of the workforce, thereby improving institutional effectiveness and responsiveness to change. Despite high qualifications among employees, there is a notable gap in training accessibility due to budget constraints, predominantly affecting operational staff compared to top executives. Structural leadership within DPMD also shows a concentration of decision-making power among a few, with a need for broader leadership development at all levels to enhance initiative implementation and organizational agility. The study highlights the need for equitable budget allocation, relevant and inclusive training programs, and resource management improvements to foster effective capacity building. It emphasizes a holistic approach that addresses training, leadership, and infrastructure to support organizational goals and enhance public service quality. ","PeriodicalId":508212,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Religion","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141921113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Peaceful coexistence brings joy, happiness, and development to family members. However, despite the advantages of peaceful coexistence, many families often experience conflict situations. This ranges between spouses, parents and their children, siblings and extended family members. This is against the background that women are mostly affected in domestic violence. The situation is so alarming that spouses decide whether to divorce or not.  Children at times become wayward, and form gangs against their parents. Some Statutory Acts have been enacted to curb or minimize the occurrence of this menace.  Yet all efforts seem to have been counter-productive. This study, therefore, attempts a rhetorical analysis of Psalm 133 to contextualize peaceful coexistence within Nigerian society. Data on the conflicting situations within the home are sourced from some of the daily Newspapers, journals and other relevant materials. The findings revealed that numerous Nigerian families are victims of this conflict situation. The work affirms that men, women and children suffer domestic violence within the Nigerian society. It suggests the teachings in Psalm 133, if applied, can enshrine peaceful coexistence among families within the Nigerian society. ","PeriodicalId":508212,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Religion","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141921424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This quantitative-qualitative analysis used bibliometric and content analytics to investigate integrative medicine literature trends in Scopus. Based on bibliometric performance study of 1466 papers, the US, China, India, and Iran are the most productive integrative medicine research centres with the most relevant institutions.

This study examined the impact of basic needs (competence, relatedness, and autonomy) on sexual satisfaction among Syrian refugee spouses. It was a qualitative study that used a structured interview as a tool to collect data. The interviewees were 24 males and females (married) from Syrian refugees in Jordan (Mafraq Governorate). The data analysis tool was the thematic approach of Braun and Clarke (2006). This study was based on the self-determination theory (Basic Need Theory) of Deci and Ryan (2000). The findings of the study were: (i) Syrian refugee spouses bore the challenging status of being refugees in Jordan, which affected their sexual satisfaction; (ii) the early marriage of Syrian refugee youth influenced their sexual satisfaction; (iii), age played a major role in constructing sexual satisfaction among the spouses; and (iv), Syrian refugee spouses were affected by their status as refugees in Jordan, which had influenced their sexual relationships; (v) the patriarchal norm had a negative effect on the sexual satisfaction of the Syrian refugee spouses. The study concluded that the sexual satisfaction among Syrian refugee spouses was low due to their miserable economic and social situation.","PeriodicalId":508212,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Religion","volume":"4 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141921582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper critically reviews existing literature to examine the effects of mobile learning on dance education, with an emphasis on learning outcomes, learners’ engagement, and resource accessibility. The finding shows that mobile learning helps to encourage learner motivation and engagement, offers a learner-centered and flexible environment, and develops better dance skills. However, the paradox of mobile learning lies in its focus on dance, a fundamentally physical and kinaesthetic art form, now mediated through virtual platforms; it also hinges on the preparedness of educators, student ownership, and technology access. To capitalize on the benefits of mobile learning in dance education, some pedagogical and technological challenges need to be addressed. Based on results from previous research, this paper provides recommendations for practitioners and policymakers who are encouraged to view mobile learning technology as an important component of dance curriculum and a valuable learning resource.","PeriodicalId":508212,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Religion","volume":"54 31","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141923981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
