Recent Development on Information System Capabilities and Sustainable Competitive Advantages: A Research Model, Review and Directions for Future Research

In today's competitive environment, maintaining a competitive advantage to achieve high performance is a significant challenge for businesses. To succeed, organizations must not only develop competencies in their focus areas but also be able to adapt, change, and realign those competencies in a dynamic and competitive corporate environment. As a result, information system (IS) capabilities are growing in significance as a strategic element that supports the development of competitive advantages and organizational survival. By examining the gap from the prior research, this study intends to answer questions about the link between information system (IS) related capabilities and the sustainable competitive advantages of an organization. The dimensions of information system capabilities (Personnel capability, Administrative capability, Infrastructure capability, and Information management capability) are factors that could explain a firm's sustainable competitive advantage and the theory of dynamic capability is used as the guiding theory, as guidance, and to support the conceptual framework. This will clarify how firms may use their resources and capabilities to boost the effectiveness and utilization of information systems (IS) in daily operations, processes, and people's performance

Pendekatan Wasatiyah (sederhana) dalam Hubungan Sosial Masyarakat Majemuk di Malaysia

Kajian ini memfokuskan terhadap pendekatan wasatiyyah (sederhana) dalam berinteraksi dengan orang bukan Islam dalam konteks masyarakat majemuk di Malaysia. Pendekatan ini penting dalam mengimbangi antara dua kumpulan ekstrem dalam masyarakat Islam, yaitu antara pendekatan golongan literalis yang sempit dengan pendekatan golongan liberalis yang longgar. Pendekatan literalis cenderung membentuk hubungan konflik dengan orang bukan Islam, manakala pendekatan golongan liberalis cenderung kepada pluralisme agama yang dilarang. Untuk menggarap pendekatan wasatiyyah, pengkaji menganalisis data-data kualitatif yang bersumberkan petunjuk Alquran dan pedoman Sunah Nabi Saw. Hasil kajian mendapati wujudnya asas hubungan sosial yang sederhana sesuai dengan konteks masyarakat majemuk di Malaysia, yaitu saling kenal mengenali antara satu sama lain bagi mengelak pencabulan sensitiviti agama, saling berdialog untuk meningkatkan persepahaman antara agama, saling bertoleransi untuk mencetuskan suasana kehidupan yang harmoni, berlaku adil bagi menghindari kezaliman terhadap agama lain, tiada paksaan dan pemaksaan untuk mengikut ajaran Islam atau kebebasan beragama serta membina identiti yang eksklusif sebagai benteng untuk menghindari penyerupaan yang dilarang oleh Syarak. Melalui pendekatan yang bersifat sederhana ini, hubungan sosial dapat berlangsung selari dengan tuntutan syariat

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Primigravidae: a Mild Disease

This prospective observational study was done to analyse the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among primigravidae and its outcome. All healthy primigravidae with singleton pregnancies were offered universal glucose tolerance testing between 16 and 28 weeks gestation. GDM and non GDM groups were managed according to hospital protocol. The antenatal features and pregnancy outcomes were analysed. Out of 616 primigravidae, 113 (18.34 %) were GDM with slightly older (27.9 ± 4.2 versus 26.32 ± 3.3, p < 0.001) age. The mean fasting and two hours postprandial blood glucose in both groups were 4.99 ± 1.08 mmol/l, 8.86 ± 1.41 mmol/l(GDM) and 4.36 ± 0.43 mmol/l, 5.71 ± 1.11 mmol/l (Non GDM), respectively. Maternal family history of diabetes mellitus, weight exceeding 80 Kg, polyhydramnios (2.65 % versus 0.2 %, p=0.028) and neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia (9.73 % versus 2.98 %, p=0.01) occurred significantly more frequent in the GDM group compared to normal. There was no significant difference in other pregnancy outcomes and complications between the two groups. In conclusion GDM in primigravidae was detected at a relatively young age with more frequent maternal family history of DM, weight exceeding 80 Kg, polyhydromnions and neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia. The degree of disease was mild and treatment led to no significant complication
