Aṣ-Ṣadaqah Al-MunaẓẒAmah (Institutionalised Ṣadaqah) And Social Welfare Programmes In Al-Hayat Relief Foundation, Nigeria, Oyekolade Sodiq Oyesanya, Asif Olatubosun Azeez Jul 2026

Aṣ-Ṣadaqah Al-MunaẓẒAmah (Institutionalised Ṣadaqah) And Social Welfare Programmes In Al-Hayat Relief Foundation, Nigeria, Oyekolade Sodiq Oyesanya, Asif Olatubosun Azeez

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Islamic Economics

Conventional fiscal mechanisms in Nigeria have struggled to address persistent multidimensional poverty and financial exclusion, necessitating the development of alternative institutional models. Aṣ-Ṣadaqah al-Munaẓẓamah (institutionalised Ṣadaqah) presents a promising model for resource mobilisation and sustainable community support, yet empirical assessments of its effectiveness remain limited. This study assessed the capacity of aṣ-Ṣadaqah al-Munaẓẓamah to promote socio-economic development, using Al-Hayat Relief Foundation as a case study. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was adopted, comprising 664 valid quantitative responses using a census-based sampling and 10 purposively selected staff interviews. Data were gathered through a validated questionnaire, which demonstrated high internal consistency …

Generosity After Negative Random Shocks, Hernán Bejarano, Joris Gillet, Ismael Rodriguez-Lara Jul 2026

Generosity After Negative Random Shocks, Hernán Bejarano, Joris Gillet, Ismael Rodriguez-Lara

ESI Working Papers

We report the results of three preregistered experiments examining the effects of negative random endowment shocks on generosity. Using a dictator game, we show that generosity is greater towards those who experience a negative random shock, and this effect is larger than the effect inequality has on giving. Our data provide evidence that people do not expect this additional level of generosity after a shock and that injunctive norms cannot explain it either. Taken together, our findings suggest that the (high) level of generosity observed after negative random shocks is unexpected and exceeds what people consider to be socially appropriate. …

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Agricultural land conversion (ALC) creates a dual sustainability challenge: the loss of productive farmland to urban expansion and the conversion of forested land into new agricultural areas. Farmland loss may reduce food production capacity, while forest conversion for agriculture may increase environmental degradation. These facts create a structural policy dilemma for Indonesia: safeguarding food security while simultaneously preventing deforestation. This study examines the patterns and drivers of land conversion in Indonesia over the past decade, with a focus on its implications for food security and deforestation. Using Indonesian Farmers Income Survey (Survei Pendapatan Petani, SPP) from 2004 (n …

Bridging The Gap In Child Safeguarding: Teachers' Interpretation Of Safeguarding Policies And Perceived Competence In Inclusive Schools (A Phenomenological Study), Yohanes Subasno, Martinus Irwan Yulius

Journal of ICSAR

This qualitative phenomenological study interprets the experiences of teachers who work with students with disabilities in inclusive schools in Malang, Indonesia. In the safeguarding context, although existing literature has extensively examined safeguarding policies and/or programmatic effectiveness, less attention has been paid to the psychological and professional burdens experienced by teachers within high-risk contexts of victimization faced by children with disabilities. To address this gap, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 teachers from inclusive primary and secondary schools. Data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) and interpreted through Bronfenbrenner’s socio-ecological framework to situate teachers’ experiences within interconnected micro-, meso-, …

Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Computational Methods with Applications in Materials Science

Blue OLED emitters are often called the "holy grail" of display technology because they are used to make attractive vibrant colors for lighting and devices. However, they are often unstable and susceptible to faster burnout over time when compared to compounds that produce other colors. Red, blue, and green emitters are important and necessary in a device for white light. Thus, an objective in research is producing a stable blue emitter with an extended lifetime and higher quantum yield, Lanthanides, which are metals from the f-block of the periodic table, are used for their photoelectronic properties.

Continuous Data Assimilation For Geophysical Flow, Amanda E. Diegel, Sehani Edirisinghe, Mary Chase Pittman

Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Computational Methods with Applications in Materials Science

We consider continuous data assimilation, a numerical method which incorporates known data, to model geophysical flow. Geophysical flow simulations are important to weather and ocean modeling, the study of climate change, modeling pollutant transport in the ocean, and many other areas. We study the barotropic vorticity model, which tracks fluid vorticity and the streamfunction, using the finite element method with continuous data assimilation. Utilizing MATLAB with the finite element C++/MATLAB toolbox FELICITY, we seek to answer whether incorporating known vorticity data, but not streamfunction data, into the numerical simulation in real time with lead to long-term accurate approximate solutions even …

Refining And Scaling Particle-Based Soil Models, Gillian Londa, Bohumir Jelinek

Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Computational Methods with Applications in Materials Science

Wheel-soil interaction simulations are critical for evaluating the performance of off-road vehicles, construction equipment, and planetary exploration systems. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) provides a physics-based approach for modeling these interactions but requires significant computational resources, making efficient use of high-performance computing (HPC) systems essential. This project evaluates the parallel performance of the open- source YADE DEM Wheel-Soil Simulator, a simulation framework developed at Mississippi State University and based on the DEM soil model of Nakanishi et al. (2020). A benchmark simulation representing a fixed 6.3% wheel-slip condition was selected to provide a consistent basis for performance evaluation. Existing benchmark …
