The study aimed to know the impact of five-dimensional strategic orientation, namely (vision, mission, values, goals, and strategic objectives) on implementing governance principles of (18) banks, which constitute all the banks in Yemen. The analytic descriptive method was followed and the whole survey sampling method was utilized. The respondents were (417) of the administrative leaders concerned with implementing the governance principles of bank. A number of conclusions were reached, notably that strategic orientation has a positive impact on the implementation of bank governance principles; the level of which varies according to the three dimensions (mission, vision and strategic objectives) with a greater impact than those of (values and goals). In addition, the implementation of the principles of governance of Yemeni banks is essential to contribute to the market success and growth for the development of Yemeni economy, and to achieve success in the financial and administrative performance in the banking business in the financial and administrative performance. In the light of the results, it is recommended to increase banks' interest in strategic orientation in all its dimensions, as it has a positive impact on the implementation of governance principles. Besides, the study recommends benefiting from experience exchange, knowledge transferential acquisition among senior, middle and supervisory management in the strategic field as well as implementing the governance principles in banks.

The study aimed to reveal the degree at difficulties in learning English language reading skill for the first three grades from teacher’s perspective in the capital Amman. To meet the study’s goals, the researchers used descriptive survey-based approach. The sample consisted of (214) female teachers who were chosen randomly. To collect data, a questionnaire of 55 items was developed. Divided into 6 domains: (difficulties related to the content of the textbook, difficulties related to the teacher, difficulties related to the learner, difficulties related to English language and its characteristics, difficulties related to the family and society, difficulties related to evaluation methods). The results showed that the students of the first three grades face and with a high degree, difficulties in learning the reading skill in English language, such as: The focus in the content of the subject on quantity rather than quality, and the lack of teacher competencies in the methods of teaching reading skill, and the presence of similarities in pronunciation between some letters, the study also found that there were no statistically significant differences in the difficulties of learning the reading skill in English language for the first three grades due to the supervisory authority variable. The study recommended providing English language teachers and those interested with a list of the difficulties that the first three grades’ students face in reading to be taken into consideration during the teaching process.

This study aims to analyze the challenges faced by Indonesian trainees, especially the participants of Technical Intern Training Program (TITP), in the process of adapting to Japan's socio-cultural system. Furthermore, this study finds out how the role of social networks in the process of adapting the lives of the trainees. Social network theory and social capital will be used as a perspective to analyze the existing phenomena. Data collection process and analysis of findings will be carried out based on qualitative research methods. Primary data sources were taken by using in-depth interviews towards three Indonesian trainees, complemented by secondary data from related research and articles. The results of the study show that the challenges faced by Indonesian trainees include difficulties in adapting to work, limitation of Japanese language proficiency, lack of opportunities to practice prayers regularly, and difficulties to build social relationships. In dealing with these problems, trainees receive moral assistance and information about the way of life in Japan from the Indonesian networks. The adaptation process of Indonesian trainees in Japan is supported by social networks that are formed informally, and plays a role in maintaining the continuity of the migration pattern of Indonesian workers to Japan.

The study examines the public-private patriarchal notion of Sylvia Walby and its violent effects on women’s mental state during and after the partition of Indian Subcontinent. Systematic electronic searches were conducted in 7 electronic databases and 42 studies were included for final review. Findings explored private patriarchal violence including ‘honor killing’, ‘collective suicide’, hate and curse, social rejection, sex trap, cancelled communality, and twice displacement. Public patriarchal violence became evident through rape, forced marriage, and abduction. The private and public patriarchal violence captivated and imprisoned women’s minds and resulted in mental traumas including estrangement and emotional detachment, unbalanced minds, diseased thought and paranoia, post-traumatic stress disorder, ‘feeling of loss’, depression and sadism, ‘disturbing memory’ and insanity, haunted nightmare and spooky dream, and concealed grief.

Changes in Universities need to be prepared, enforced, and sustained to turn the universities into institutions that can function effectively and efficiently. Kotter’s change model is one of the most widely recognised models for leading change, and yet there are few case studies have been used this model in the academic literature. Therefore, this study aimed to test Kotter’s change model at University of Khartoum. To do so, a qualitative research design was followed. To collect data a semi-structured interview was used with 11 leaders in the University of Khartoum. The thematic analysis has shown that create an environment for change depends on create urgency, and develop a vision for change that convinces staff members to participate in the change process. It is evident that the University of Khartoum has engaged and enabled the staff members in each college and work unit to embrace the change. Besides, the analysis indicated that for the change to be implemented and sustained it needs to removing obstacles and making it the university culture. The paper recommended that the importance of change must be embedded in the vision of the University of Khartoum to create a strong climate for change in the University environment.

This article examines the sociology of law in the context of Islamic legal scholarship in Indonesia. As a method, the sociology of law has basically been employed by Islamic legal scholars in Indonesia. However, the study of Islamic law is generally under the discipline of Islamic studies. In fact, although Islamic studies in Indonesia has recently utilised social sciences methods, the popularity of this approach is low compared to normative and textual types of Islamic legal studies. In addition, the trend of positivism which has been a general feature of Islamic legal studies has significantly contributed to this situation. In the light of this context, this article offers a view that the adoption of the sociology of law in the context of Islamic legal studies scholarship in Indonesia will serve as an alternative. It is expected that Islamic legal studies will be more multidisciplinary in nature and be based on more tacit social realities in substance.

This article analysed the fans’ identity among K-Pop fans in Indonesia, especially BTS fans. The study aimed to explore how these fans express their identity as fans both internally and externally despite negative stereotyping of loyal K-Pop fans. Using a quantitative method through online surveys based on the fans-identity scale approach, the research surveyed a total of 243 BTS fans in Indonesia. Results showed that BTS fans had a positive tendency toward overall fan characteristics. None of the characteristics showed a negative score. It indicated that there was a high loyalty among the fans. Almost all six-behaviour dimensions observed correlated with all seven fans-identity characters. “Specific social media accounts followed” showed no correlation with “enjoyment” and “identity” respectively. However, high loyalty and a large number of fan-based did not translate into monetization for official merchandise. Results showed a low number of purchases for official merchandise and global membership package.
