Cross-examination questions are pivotal as they elicit information and confirmations from witnesses while allowing them to narrate events. Using a corpus-based forensic discourse analysis, the study combines quantitative and qualitative methods to uncover patterns in tag question usage. Five common agreement tags—do you agree, agree/setuju, correct/betul, particle tak/not, and do you know—are identified as tools for Malaysian barristers to exert coercive pressure on witnesses. The critical analysis reveals a preference for the tag do you agree due to its coercive power. The paper concludes with a discussion on the theoretical and pragmatic implications of these findings for bilingual adversarial systems or postcolonial jurisdictions. It also highlights the disadvantaged position of laypeople in bilingual courtrooms, offering insights and proposing potential solutions to address these challenges. ","PeriodicalId":508212,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Religion","volume":"18 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796936","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}

It is important to highlight the contribution of Hadith science to the creation of Islamic law to dispel the misconception that Hadith experts and Fiqh experts are incompatible. While Fiqh experts are thought to possess a contextual understanding of Hadith, Hadith experts are called textual experts.  It is intriguing to look at Ali Mustafa Yaqub's attempts to solve this issue and his impact on Indonesia's Islamic legal system in this context. This study was carried out through literature research using qualitative research methods and the presentation was carried out descriptively-analytically. The research findings show that Ali Mustafa Yaqub was able to eliminate this dichotomization and prove that there is a close relationship between Hadith and Fiqh (Islamic Law) because the Imams of the Madhab are Fiqh experts as well as Hadith experts, and even have Hadith books. Ali Mustafa Yaqub's studies on Hadith and Law are written in a modern way. This claim is supported by his application of the well-established Istinbath procedure in Islamic jurisprudence. For example, his criticism of MUI Fatwa Number 5 of 2010 concerning determining the direction of the Qibla in Indonesia and the trend of Indonesian Muslims in wearing turbans in daily life shows that Ali Mustafa Yaqub is independent of the existing schools of fiqh, so the conclusions he makes do not tend to support certain groups. ","PeriodicalId":508212,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Religion","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141798066","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}

One substantial area of focus is reducing communication faults and saving patients from harm, which involves improving the patient experience during hospitalization. Enhancing health workers' skills and knowledge plays a substantial role in driving positive patient experiences. According to the Saudi Arabia  National Quality of Health System Report, evidence-based, high-quality care and patient satisfaction are in focus, and training programs can help to develop health workers' necessary skills.In their willingness to adhere to medical advice, trust in healthcare providers, and healthcare intention, patient perceptions of relationship quality are positively associated with patient satisfaction. Healthcare workers with a better level of expertise demonstrate improved listening, compassion, and communication skills, resulting in stronger relationships with their patients and, hence, improved interpersonal measures such as patient satisfaction. Other attributes of health workers, such as enthusiasm, showing empathy and caring, have also shown to have a substantial effect on keeping or improving care and hospitalization.The performance of healthcare professionals in hospitals is vital to improve patients' outcomes. This is the reason why we have performed seven action research projects in seven different hospitals to prevent or minimize the impact of four areas, all of them claiming to the overall patients' experience: infections, wounds of the surgical wounds, noise and communication among healthcare professionals in the same shift. They have been performed for 16 years and due to them the rates of the infections, of the wounds in the knees and clamps and of the very noisy hours have decreased. We have also learned that while the incidence of the proper surgical wound closure worsens due to other causes, the noise of a very noisy hospital remains high due to the staff's work and that when an \"important\" who does not know stay in the line interacts with an \"important\" who knows, no problem arises.Having professional staff helps immensely to ensure a good standard of care. The care that staff provide, be it nursing, medical, or therapy, etc., to service users helps to make a positive difference to their treatment and care. To be motivated and positive in their work on a daily basis, they must themselves receive good care during their professional development, which in turn can make them positive role models for those in their care. The care that staff provides is the bedrock of services. Good people working arrangements are a crucial part of the motivation behind good services, and ensuring that staff feel valued and respected has to be at the heart of what we understand as good quality services.The experience, education level, and training of healthcare workers also have a h","PeriodicalId":508212,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Religion","volume":"64 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141798926","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}

The study aims to address a gap in South-South economic cooperation literature and provide insights for policymakers. Findings reveal that while economic factors such as market potential and strategic location are primary drivers, socio-cultural factors, particularly cultural and religious affinities, play a significant role in facilitating investment. Political and institutional stability, despite transitions, emerged as important considerations. Global events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and regional integration also influenced FDI patterns. The research contributes to FDI theory in emerging economies and offers practical implications for enhancing Malaysia's attractiveness to West Asian and Middle Eastern investors. ","PeriodicalId":508212,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Religion","volume":"89 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141797928","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}

The scientific approach is different from the common one because it is based on a method, laws, principles, theories, univocal language and because of the enormous amount of information it needs to process. As a result, university institutions that produce knowledge from research require that projects and research reports be formulated according to certain requirements that are set forth in their academic rules and regulations. Therefore, each university has a unique way of presenting these works, which will depend on the scientific tradition of the institution and the scientific training of its authorities and teachers. At present, these are presented as articles, disregarding the differences between the nature of each type of document. A thesis that is supported in a university is different than an article that is published in a journal; likewise, the format of some works place the conjecture in the research problem chapter; others in the research methodology section; and others in an independent section.
