Garment industry of Bangladesh is an important part of the international supply chain of apparels as well as a significant portion of the economic growth of the nation. As a reaction to the growing pressure of international customers, prudent, and stakeholders, garment companies started to revert to the principles of sustainable supply chains. This paper analyzes the degree in which environment, social and economic sustainable supply chain behaviors are in existence in the garment industry of Bangladesh and the extent by which the behaviors are associated with total sustainability performance. The quantitative research design was used based on survey data obtained among 300 respondents in the managerial level of the export-based garment manufacturing firms. The data were analysed by using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, normality analysis, correlation analysis, and multicollinearity diagnostics. The results reveal a medium adoption of practices of sustainable supply chain in terms of environmental, social, and economic aspects. The results of sustainability performance, however, are relatively poor. The outcomes of correlation demonstrate almost negligible and largely negative links among sustainable supply chain practices and sustainability performance which indicates a fragmented and compliance-based approach to implementation as opposed to integrated sustainability approaches. Reliability analysis also reveals the weakness in the measurement scales of sustainability in internal consistency.The findings are useful in the literature as they offer empirical evidence of a developing country setting and show a necessity of more comprehensive, organized, and situation-specific strategies regarding sustainability. Managers, policymakers, and international buyers that want to enhance sustainability achievements in the global garment supply chain are provided with practical implications.

Early childhood is a critical period for identity formation, including the development of self-concept and gender awareness. In Islamic education, the concept of fitrah provides a foundational framework for holistic human development aligned with divine values. However, sexuality education for young children is often avoided or misunderstood, resulting in limited ethical and educational guidance during this formative stage. This condition highlights the need for a value-based educational approach grounded in Islamic principles. This study aims to explore fitrah-based sexuality education as an Islamic educational approach to strengthening identity development in early childhood. Employing a qualitative library research method, the study analyses classical Islamic texts, contemporary scholarly literature, and relevant studies on child development, sexuality education, and Islamic ethics. The findings indicate that fitrah-based sexuality education emphasizes the integration of cognitive, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions in nurturing children’s identity in accordance with their innate nature as male or female. Parents play a central role as primary educators by providing age-appropriate guidance, positive role modelling, and moral value internalization. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this approach is strengthened through the support of educational institutions, government policies, and social environments responsive to children’s developmental needs. The originality of this study lies in its conceptual synthesis of fitrah theory and early childhood sexuality education, reframing the discourse from a problem-oriented perspective to a constructive framework focused on identity strengthening and ethical development. This study recommends integrating fitrah-based sexuality education into family education practices and early childhood education programs.

The global healthcare landscape continually emphasizes the critical importance of high-quality and safe patient care, with nurses serving as the foundational providers at the point of care, significantly influencing patient outcomes. Persistent issues, including adverse events, patient dissatisfaction, and nursing workforce challenges, necessitate a comprehensive understanding of the obstacles nurses face and the strategies they employ to uphold standards. The objective of this review was to systematically synthesize existing literature to identify the principal challenges encountered by nurses and explore effective strategies for enhancing the quality and safety of care delivery. This integrative literature review, utilizing a rigorous systematic approach to collate findings from diverse international studies, revealed that major challenges include pervasive occupational burnout, suboptimal nurse-to-patient staffing ratios, communication breakdowns, and a poor organizational work environment. Key strategies identified for enhancing care quality and safety center on fostering supportive work climates, implementing robust staffing policies, utilizing professional development programs focused on precision health and safety competencies, and strengthening interprofessional collaboration. The major recommendation is for healthcare systems to implement multi-faceted, nurse-centered interventions that address both systemic and individual factors. In conclusion, addressing nurses’ challenges through strategic, evidence-based initiatives is essential for improving the nursing work environment, which directly correlates with enhanced patient care quality and safety. The implications of these findings are substantial for healthcare policymakers and organizational leadership, guiding targeted resource allocation and policy development.

This article aims to explain the modernization that occurred in Aceh during the Dutch colonial era and the diversity that emerged as a result of modernization, as well as to explain the relations between ethnic groups in Aceh during the Dutch colonial era, especially between the Acehnese and Minangkabau ethnic groups. This research is a library research with a descriptive analysis type. Modernization in Aceh during the Dutch colonial era occurred in at least three aspects, namely infrastructure modernization, especially highways and railways, economic modernization marked by the opening of large-scale plantations and educational modernization. The modernization of infrastructure, economy and education carried out by the Dutch in Aceh has caused a wave of migration from outside Aceh, thus having an impact on increasing ethnic diversity in Aceh. Relations between ethnic groups, especially between Acehnese and Minangkabau, have not been good, where there is negative prejudice from Acehnese people towards Minangkabau people due to historical prejudice factors, discrimination and excessive feelings of superiority.

This study examines the pivotal role of halal brand association (HBA) in influencing consumer participation in family takaful products through the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). The research conceptualizes HBA as a critical variable impacting key TPB predictors—attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control—leading to increased participation in family takaful products. A qualitative approach systematically reviewed literature from reputable academic databases to develop a theoretical framework. The findings reveal that HBA enhances consumer attitudes, aligns with social expectations, and strengthens perceived behavioral control. Academically, this study contributes to the limited research on HBA in the takaful industry, providing new insights into consumer behavior in Islamic finance. Practically, it offers strategic guidance for Islamic financial institutions to leverage halal branding as a competitive advantage. By aligning financial products with Islamic ethical principles, this research underscores the dual importance of religious compliance and social responsibility in fostering consumer engagement and loyalty.
