Unveiling impact measurement: navigating the evolving landscape in France

Purpose This article aims to explore the growing adoption of social impact measurement (SIM) among French Social and Solidarity Economy Organizations (SSEOs) in the context of a global drive for accountability. It examines the evolution of SIM, its implications, risks and methodological challenges. Key themes include the transition from “social utility” to “social impact,” the emergence of an impact-driven market, and concerns about the limitations of standardized measurement models. The paper calls for a diverse approach to evaluation, aiming to preserve the unique identities of SSEOs and promote innovation. Design/methodology/approach This comprehensive literature review, covering both academic and grey literature, explores the evolution of SIM in French SSEOs. It focuses on regulatory frameworks, stakeholder engagement and methodological principles to provide a thorough understanding of the implications and potential risks. Findings The findings highlight a major shift in public policy instruments, driven by the growing adoption of SIM within French SSEOs. While SIM methods offer opportunities, they also pose risks, such as the commodification of social impact, the rise of isomorphic practices and an overemphasis on performativity. Research limitations/implications The research implications emphasize the need to recognize how SIM affects the organizational identity of SSEOs and to foster discussions on alternative evaluation methods. A limitation of the study is its focus on French SSEOs, which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other contexts within the broader social economy sector. Practical implications The article provides valuable insights for policymakers, SSEOs and stakeholders on the role of SIM in the French social economy. It advocates for critical evaluation and policy alignment to improve the sector’s overall effectiveness. Social implications The social implications involve gaining a deeper understanding of how SIM practices affect the identity and operations of French SSEOs. By emphasizing risks such as commodification and isomorphic trends, the article encourages reflection on the broader societal impacts. Originality/value The article’s originality stems from its thorough exploration of SIM’s evolution within French SSEOs. Its value lies in shedding light on the complex relationship between SIM adoption, organizational identity and societal values, thereby encouraging informed decision-making and deeper discourse within the SSEOs landscape.

Assessment of Early Vascular Aging Ambulatory Score (EVAAs): A Large Population-based External Validation Study.

Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) remains the gold-standard method to assess Early Vascular Aging (EVA) defined by arterial stiffness. However, its high cost, time-consuming process, and need for qualified medical staff shows the importance of identifying alternative methods for the EVA evaluation. In order to simplify the process of assessing patients' EVA, we recently developed the Early Vascular Aging Ambulatory score (EVAAs), a simple tool to predict the risk of EVA. The aim of the present study was the external validation of EVAAs in an independent population. Eight hundred seventy-nine (46.3% men) patients who were referred to our Hypertension ESH Excellence Center were included in this study. The mean age was 46.43 ± 22.87 years. EVA was evaluated in two different ways. The first assessment included c-f PWV values, whereas the second one included EVAAs without the direct measurement of carotid-femoral PWV. The null hypothesis was that the prediction of EVA based on EVAAs does not present any statistically significant difference compared to the prediction based on the calculation from c-f PWV. Mean squared error (MSE) was used for the assessment of the null hypothesis, which was found to be 0.40. The results revealed that the EVAAs show the probability of EVA with 0.98 sensitivity and 0.75 specificity. The EVAAs present 95% positive predictive value and 92% negative predictive value. Our study revealed that EVAAs could be as reliable as the carotid-femoral PWV to identify patients with EVA. Hence, we hope that EVAAs will be a useful tool in clinical practice.

The Ten Test and Sensory Evaluation of Hand and Finger Injuries in the Emergency Department

BackgroundHand and finger injuries are a common presenting complaint to the emergency department and are associated with significant morbidity. Neurologic evaluation of these injuries is a crucial component of the patient assessment and can be done via a variety of testing methods. DiscussionWhile most taught and cited in the emergency department literature, the two-point discrimination (2PD) test for sensation has several drawbacks, including limited reproducibility and reliability. While often utilized by hand surgical specialists, the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament (SWM) test and the Weinstein Enhanced Sensory Test (WEST) are not practical for the emergency physician due to the need for specialized equipment and frequent calibration. The ten test, a relatively new sensory evaluation method, has been shown to be reliable, reproducible, and pragmatic in varying types of clinical environments. ConclusionThe ten test is a pragmatic alternative method of evaluation to two-point that is utilized by specialists in hand surgery and injuries. The emergency physician should consider adding the ten test to their evaluation and reporting of hand and finger injuries in the emergency department.

EVALUATION OF MYOPIA AND ITS CORRELATION WITH CORNEAL CURVATURE AND AXIAL LENGTH OF EYEBALL IN TERTIARY CENTER

Introduction: Refractive errors are a common cause of visual disorders, of which myopia is the second most common. Myopia is also known as shortsightedness. It is a condition occurring as a result of increased global axial length or increased refractive power of anterior segment, with the former being more important. Aim: To evaluate the myopia and its correlation with axial length and corneal curvature . Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted from July 2022 to December 2023 on 100 Cases of Myopia attending OPD in Department of Opthalmology, JNU Medical College, Jaipur. Refraction was measured as the spherical equivalent (SE). Results: In present study, the patients were divided into three groups: mild myopia (≤−0.50D and >−3.00D), moderate myopia (≤−3.00D and >−6.00D), and high myopia (≤−6.00D), according to Spherical Equivalent (SE).In present study AL showed statistically significant differences among the three groups and AL increases with increase in myopia grade. In present study corneal curvature showed no statistically significant differences among the three groups i.e. corneal curvature is not statistically significantly associated with grades of myopia. In present study AL/CR showed statistically significant differences among the three groups and AL/CR increases with increase in myopia grade. Conclusions: The present study concluded that that AL and AL/CR were significantly negatively correlated with SE in myopia patients, and the correlation between AL/CR and SE is higher than that between AL and SE. AL and AL/CR can be used as an alternative refractive status evaluation method for refraction.

How much digital public health is taught in German public health programs? A qualitative analysis

Abstract Background Digital public health (DiPH) professionals are crucial for a successful digital transformation in social and health care. However, the extent to which academic professionals are taught DiPH-related content in their public health studies in Germany remains unclear. Methods We used a systematic module handbook analysis to assess accredited full-time public health-oriented degree programs at German Universities for DiPH-related modules. Programs were identified through the Hochschulkompass platform and among the German Public Health Association member programs. We used MAXQDA for the content analysis of the included module handbooks. Results We identified 79 public health programs. Of these, 10 Bachelor’s and 6 Master’s offered at least one DiPH module, all being highly heterogeneous in their overall addressed public health subfields. Regarding DiPH, 6 programs lectured on the ethics of digitalizing health and data protection, 5 programs each offered modules on DiPH in health policy, on data science in healthcare and software used for eHealth, or on the digital determinants of health. 4 programs each included modules on digital health promotion and alternative evaluation methods. 3 programs each addressed digital science communication and health technology assessment. Finally, 2 programs had modules on digital epidemiology. We found differences between the common understanding of DiPH in academia and the content in the module handbooks. The content identified in the analysis focused mainly on technical areas. Social and health science content was only marginally present. Conclusions The diverse DiPH study programs allow academic public health specialists in Germany to develop specific profiles. There is a need for further development of modules with relevance to the respective degree program to achieve comprehensive competencies in DiPH. We encourage the uptake of our analysis to develop a core curriculum in DiPH among European public health programs. Key messages • Digitalization affects all areas of life, including healthcare systems and public health. Preparing the future workforce already during their training is crucial to enable them to lead the change. • German public health programs are not fit to prepare students for their professions. Developing DiPH curricula with pre-defined and updated competencies will strengthen programs in Germany and beyond.

Brachial and Lumbosacral Plexopathies.

The brachial and lumbosacral plexuses are complex neural structures that transmit sensory, motor, and autonomic information between the spinal cord and the extremities. Plexus disorders can be particularly disabling because lesions in the plexus usually affect large groups of nerve fibers originating from several spinal levels. Electrodiagnostic studies are often required to confirm a plexus lesion and determine the extent of injury and prognosis. Magnetic resonance is the imaging modality of choice for detecting intrinsic nerve abnormalities; recently, high-resolution ultrasound has emerged as an alternative method for dynamic evaluation and visualization of internal nerve architecture. Once a plexopathy is confirmed, the list of possible etiologies is relatively limited and includes traumatic and nontraumatic causes. Treatment relies on symptom management and physical rehabilitation unless a treatable underlying condition is found. Surgical approaches, including nerve grafts or tendon transfers, may improve limb function when spontaneous recovery is suboptimal.

Twelve-lead ambulatory ECG recording using a seven-electrode recorder: An alternative method for electrophysiological evaluation

IntroductionConventional three-lead ambulatory electrocardiogram recording (3L-AECG) is used for the quantitative diagnosis of arrhythmias. However, the lack of crucial information, such as QRS morphology and orientation, renders the 3L-AECG incomplete for planning electrophysiological interventions. The 12-lead AECG (12L-AECG) merges the temporal resolution 3L-AECG with the spatial resolution of the standard electrocardiogram (S-ECG). Although it provides more detail, it is not widely used. This study aimed to verify whether the seven-electrode 12L-AECG and S-ECG have similar waveforms. MethodsA questionnaire consisting of 240 side-by-side comparisons (12 leads from 20 patients) was created. These consisted of a QRS registered using the 12L-AECG and a QRS from the same patient, registered using the S-ECG. The questionnaire was submitted to cardiologists trained in electrophysiology. For each comparison, the evaluator assigned “similar” or “different” depending on their own judgment. ResultsFive cardiologists completed the questionnaire, resulting in 1200 answers. The AECG-12 was similar to the ECG in 84.50 % of the instances (95 % confidence interval [CI] 83.20–86.50). The interobserver agreement was moderate (0.542, p < 0.001). The similarity between specific leads ranged up to 98 % (95 % CI 92.96–99.76). No significant differences were found among patients (p = 0.407). ConclusionThe seven-electrode 12L-AECG and S-ECG produced comparable waveforms. This similarity supports the use of 12L-AECG for accurate arrhythmia tracking and assists in planning electrophysiological procedures.

Penerapan Teori Kebenaran dalam Evaluasi Pendidikan Iman Katolik: Studi Kasus Ujian Doa-Doa Dasar pada Calon Penerima Komuni Pertama Dengan Difabilitas Mental

The evaluation of Catholic religious education requires an inclusive and fair approach, especially in the context of preparing for first communion. The aim of this paper is to review such evaluations through the lens of truth theory, highlighting the challenges faced by children with cognitive conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, and intellectual disabilities. The method of memorizing basic prayers in first communion exams is considered to not always reflect a true understanding of faith, especially for children with cognitive conditions. The ethical implications of assessments that do not consider these special needs result in injustice towards children with cognitive disabilities. To ensure inclusivity, the research recommends modifications in the evaluation process, including the use of more flexible and holistic alternative evaluation methods. Although this paper provides relevant insights into the issue, further research involving participants of religious education and Catholic practitioners is needed to develop a more inclusive evaluation approach. In conclusion, the evaluation of Catholic religious education needs to consider the needs of individuals with cognitive disabilities to achieve inclusivity and justice in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Playing with data differently: engaging with autism and gender through participatory arts/music and a performative framework for analysis.

There are increasing demands for Participatory Arts-Based (PAB) programs involved in health research to better evidence outcomes using robust quantitative evaluation methodologies taken from science, such as standardized questionnaires, to inform commissioning and scale-up decisions. However, for PAB researchers trying to do this, barriers arise from fundamental interdisciplinary differences in values and contexts. Researchers are required to navigate the tensions between the practice-based evidence produced by the arts and the evidence-based practice sought by psychologists. Consequently, there is a need for interdisciplinary arts-science collaborations to produce alternative methods of evaluation that are better aligned to PAB approaches, and which combine systematic rigor with a sensitivity to the values, contexts and strengths of this approach. The current article centers on the development of an alternative transdisciplinary analytic tool, the Participatory arts Play Framework (PP-Framework), undertaken as part of an arts-psychology collaboration for a UK AHRC-funded PAB research project: Playing A/Part: Investigating the identities and experiences of autistic girls. We present details of three stages in the development of the PP-Framework: 1. preliminary emergence of the framework from initial video analysis of observational data from participatory music and sound workshops run for 6 adolescent autistic girls (aged 11-16); 2. identification and application of modes of engagement; and 3. further testing of the framework as an evaluation tool for use in a real-world setting, involving professional musicians engaged in delivery of a creative music project at a center for homeless people. The PP-Framework maps types of participation in terms of performative behaviors and qualities of experience, understood as modes of play. It functions as a vehicle for analyzing participant engagement, providing a tool predicated on the processes of working in creative participatory contexts while also being sensitive to the esthetic qualities of what is produced and capable of capturing beneficial changes in engagement. It offers a conceptual approach for researchers to undertake observation of participatory arts practices, taking account of embodied engagement and interaction processes. It is informed by understandings of autistic performativity and masking in conjunction with an ecological understanding of sense making as being shaped by environments, social relations and sensing subjectivity. The framework has the potential to be a bi-directional tool, with application for both practitioners and participants.

Digital vs Conventional OSCE in Orthopedic Surgery: A Feasibility Cross-Sectional Study

Remote OSCEs (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) are an alternative evaluation method during pandemic periods but they have never been evaluated in orthopedic surgery. We aimed to evaluate whether remote OSCEs would be feasible, and efficient for assessment of undergraduate medical students. A cross-sectional study was performed. Thirty-four students were randomly assigned into 2 equal groups, either the conventional OSCE group or the digital OSCE group. Three types of skills were assessed: technical procedure, clinical examination, and radiographic analysis. Students were graded and they filled in a satisfaction questionnaire for both types of OSCEs. The mean score, out of 20, was 14.3 ± 2.5 (range 9.3-19) for the digital sessions, versus 14.4 ± 2.3 (range 10-18.6) for conventional sessions (p = 0.81). Bland Altman Plot showed that 88% of students scored within agreement. The average global feedback was different for item repeatability, relevance, and OSCEs preference (p < 0.0001, p = 0.0001, and p < 0.0001 respectively). However, they did not report differences for the item concerning the organization (p = 0.2). The results of this comparative study between digital and conventional OSCEs showed comparable distance learning scores between the 2 groups, whatever the skill assessed. However, the student's evaluation showed some reticence to conduct again OSCEs remotely.

Applicability investigation on failure assessment diagram of ASME code section XI - Appendix H for ferritic nuclear piping

The failure assessment diagram (FAD) is a widely used tool for evaluating the fracture acceptance of structural components. In addition to linear elastic fracture mechanics, elastic-plastic fracture mechanics, and limit load analysis, the ASME Code incorporated FAD as an alternative safety evaluation method for flaws in nuclear pipes starting from 2004 edition. This paper conducts a series of finite element elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analyses to establish the specific J–based FAD curves considering various loading and geometry conditions for ferritic pipes containing various circumferential flaws. By comparing with the suggested FAD of ASME Code Section XI - Appendix H, it is found that the radius-to-thickness ratio of pipes and the flaw depth influence the applicability of FAD, but with minor effects of crack length. In addition, the effects of material properties between base metal and weld materials on FAD are also discussed. The result of this work could be a reference when applying the FAD to evaluate the flawed piping for nuclear power plants.

Impact of Student Engagement in Language Support Classes Through Cooperative Learning: A Study of Pakistani Educational Institutions

Cooperative learning represents a pedagogical approach where students of varying abilities collaborate in small groups to achieve common goals. It involves the implementation of diverse learning activities to deepen understanding of the subject matter. Within these groups, learners engage in discussions, exchange ideas and knowledge, seek additional information, and present their findings to the class. Notably, cooperative learning prioritizes student-centeredness over teacher-centeredness, placing greater emphasis on learning objectives rather than performance targets. This shift also diminishes the focus on competitive assessments, urging educators to embrace alternative evaluation methods. Pressel (1992) asserts that cooperative learning enhances learning outcomes and retention, bolsters confidence and intrinsic motivation, and cultivates a more positive attitude toward academic and social abilities.

The phonetically balanced kindergarten assessment: An alternative evaluation method utilizing machine learning technology

This study investigates the use case of machine learning (ML) technologies to score the Phonetically Balanced Kindergarten (PBK) word test. The PBK, developed to test pediatric speech perception, is also used to monitor outcomes of cochlear implantation (CI) in children. Many factors contribute to high PBK score variability in CI users, but effects of scoring by human listeners are unclear. In this study, an alternate ML scoring method was developed. The Ursa classifier (Speechmatics, 2023) was used to recognize 100 PBK words spoken by 12 adults with normal hearing, speech, and language. The spoken words (n = 1200) were manipulated in six conditions (first and last phoneme deletion; high frequency filtering at 1, 2, 4, and 6 kHz), yielding 8400 stimuli. The classifier correctly recognized most of the unaltered words (true positive rate of 0.90; peak distribution density at 96%) and provided a null or incorrect response to altered stimuli as expected; most frequently for the first phoneme deletion and 1 kHz filtered conditions. Inter-class correlations showed comparable results between Ursa and 7 normal hearing human scorers (Cohens Kappa: 0.39). Thus, ML tools show promise in the scoring of the PBK; increasing the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of this clinical assessment.

Vibration analysis of bio-inspired sandwich composite beam under rotating environment based on the Internet of Things technology

Sandwich composite materials with corrugated cores are mostly used in industries like aircraft, marine construction, automobiles, and construction. Sandwich composite constructions are made for their lightweight, high strength, and high stiffness, and also the sandwich core composite structures are useful for dynamic studies. A novel design inspired by a woodpecker beak microstructure creates fillet edge and champer edge designs. This novel design motivates us to achieve the energy absorbing results starting with free vibration studies followed by rotating environment vibration studies. ASTM E1876 standards, a non-destructive approach, are used to determine the material properties of carbon fiber-polylactic acid (CF-PLA) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP), along with alternative dynamic method (ADM) for core property evaluation. The hand lay-up technique is used for fabrication and evaluated for free vibration testing with appropriate boundary conditions. Internet of Things technology has been used for analyzing vibrations of sandwich structures in rotating environment setup with 250, 500, 750, and 1000 rpm. It was observed that the fillet edge pattern has a more efficient natural frequency than the champer edge pattern. Furthermore, the parametric evaluations were performed in various ply configurations in numerical simulations for free vibration and the rotating Environment. Also, the effective results are seen in fillet core bioinspired sandwich structure that achieves efficient stiffness in both free vibration and rotational environments, despite various boundary conditions and parametric circumstances. Therefore, the fillet edge 3D printed core design with particular GFRP factsheet orientation brings out the novelty of this research.

Development of an online evaluation awareness scale

The COVID-19 epidemic has precipitated a rapid and widespread adoption of online education, leading to its normalization in contemporary society. Online education is evident across several educational levels. However, assessing the efficacy and effectiveness of these training programs can only be achieved by implementing a suitable evaluation methodology. One of the primary challenges associated with online education is the difficulty in assessing its quality and effectiveness. One of the contributing factors to this issue is the instructor's lack of technological skills and knowledge relevant to online teaching. This research aims to develop a scale (Online Evaluation Awareness-OnEvA) to determine the instructors’ awareness of online evaluation. 165 participants’ data from 63 universities was used for exploratory factor analysis. The items of the scale are designed to measure awareness in both pedagogical and technological dimensions. The items in the pedagogical dimension include the essential competencies that instructors should possess, and alternative evaluation methods offered online. In the technological dimension, the items are created to determine instructors’ awareness of the use of technological platforms and tools. For the next step, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed to establish the scale’s construct validity with 161 instructors. Additionally, the scale’s internal consistency was determined to be high, with a Cronbach's alpha of .964. It is affirmed that this awareness scale developed within the scope of this research will contribute to the development of future models or frameworks related to the dimensions of evaluation knowledge in online learning.

Tensile testing as alternative evaluation method for enhanced adhesion of diamond-like carbon coatings with different titanium buffer layers

A tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) is widely used in industrial environments. However, application in extreme environments requires improved interfacial adhesion strength. This study proposes a new method to determine the adhesion strength of ta-C coating using the microtensile test, which is applied to improve the adhesion strength of ta-C coating by varying the Ti buffer layer microstructure. The tensile properties recorded in the stress-strain curve can be used to determine the difference between the absorbed energy and resistance to plastic deformation, which is then used to calculate fracture toughness. Moreover, to determine the adhesion strength, the crack density and spallation size were evaluated by measuring the cracks on the slip surface. The results show that compared to the columnar Ti buffer layer microstructure, the ta-C coating with a dense and flat Ti buffer layer microstructure more effectively improved the composite mechanical properties (columnar Ti layer H = ∼39 GPa, E = ∼430 GPa; dense Ti layer H = ∼48 GPa, E = ∼468 GPa), crack resistance (crack density = 6.4 % on columnar Ti layer; 1.5 % on dense Ti layer) and increased the dissipation energy during plastic deformation. Additionally, the dense Ti buffer layer microstructure reduced the wear rate (3.1 × 10−7 mm3/N∙m) and inhibited crack generation under long-term continuous frictional contact due to stress release in the ta-C coating. This finding clarifies the importance of the buffer layer with the suggested microstructural modifications for the wear resistance of ta-C coating.

TOPICAL ASPECTS OF IMPROVING THE ORGANIZATION OF PRODUCTION INVENTORY ACCOUNTING OF ENTERPRISES

The article studies some topical aspects of improving the organization of production inventory accounting, in particular, the issue of identification of this accounting category and the problems of accounting valuation of production inventories. The key components of the identification of the accounting category “production inventories” are determined. The author’s own definition is presented and substantiated, according to which production inventories are stocks (i. e., tangible current assets) held by an enterprise for the purpose of further one-time consumption (which will lead to a change in their natural and material form) in the process of production of products (works, services), maintenance of equipment, organization of management and marketing of products (goods). The article analyzes the issues of valuation of production inventories disposal. A comparison of the results of estimating the disposal of production inventories in the context of inflation using three main alternative methods of evaluation of disposal – the FIFO method, the weighted average cost method with price recalculation once a month and the weighted average cost method with price recalculation for each disposal. It is established that the use of the FIFO method in the context of inflation allows minimizing the accounting valuation of the disposal of production inventories, which in turn leads to maximizing the accounting valuation of the financial results of the reporting period and the value of inventory balances at the end of the period and, accordingly, improves the financial condition, increases the creditworthiness and investment attractiveness of the enterprise according to the financial statements. In terms of taxation, on the contrary, it is more attractive to use the weighted average cost method with prices recalculated once a month, since this method allows for a completely legal temporary optimization of the tax burden in terms of income tax in the conditions of inflation. The weighted average cost method with price recalculation for each disposal is recognized as a compromise option, the consensus of which is achieved by reducing the size of the effect. The issue of organizing the accounting and distribution of transportation and procurement costs by the methods of average percentage and direct distribution is studied. The disadvantages of the method of averaging transportation and procurement costs are identified and the expediency of direct distribution of transportation and procurement costs is substantiated, which allows improving the quality of accounting information on the movement of production inventories and the amount of costs generated as a result of their consumption.

The Effect of Critical Task Auto-failure Criteria on Medical Evaluation Methods in the Pararescue Schoolhouse.

Medical training and evaluation are important for mission readiness in the pararescue career field. Because evaluation methods are not standardized, evaluation methods must align with training objectives. We propose an alternative evaluation method and discuss relevant factors when designing military medical evaluation metrics. We compared two evaluation methods, the traditional checklist (TC) method used in the pararescue apprentice course and an alternative weighted checklist (AWC) method like that used at the U.S. Army static line jumpmaster course. The AWC allows up to two minor errors, while critical task errors result in autofailure. We recorded 168 medical scenarios during two Apprentice course classes and retroactively compared the two evaluation methods. Despite the possibility of auto-failure with the AWC, there was no significant difference between the two evaluation methods, and both showed similar overall pass rates (TC=50% pass, AWC=48.8% pass, p=.41). The two evaluation methods yielded the same result for 147 out of 168 scenarios (87.5%). The AWC method strongly emphasizes critical tasks without significantly increasing failures. It may provide additional benefits by being more closely aligned with our training objectives while providing quantifiable data for a longitudinal review of student performance.

Evaluasi Peran Dewan Pengawas Syariah di Indonesia

This research discusses the evaluation of the Sharia Supervisory Board's (DPS) role in the context of Islamic finance in Indonesia through a bibliometric approach. The research focuses on the development of literature related to DPS and its impact on Islamic finance. The rapidly evolving literature in Islamic finance (Siddiqui, 2016; Hasan, 2014) highlights the need for evaluating the role of DPS to ensure its effectiveness (Hasan et al., 2020). The study employs bibliometric methods to identify research trends, main topics, and the impact of literature on DPS. Key references include Siddiqui's work (2016) on the development of Islamic finance in Southeast Asia and Hasan's study (2014) on Sharia governance in Islamic banks. Additionally, Khan (2018) and Kettell (2011) provide in-depth insights into Islamic business ethics and the introduction of Islamic finance. Research findings from this analysis reveal literature gaps and affirm the relevance of bibliometric methods in measuring research impact, identifying trends, and addressing literature gaps. The implications support further research development with a focus on underexplored aspects, including regional exploration and cross-country comparisons. Recommendations involve developing alternative evaluation methods, practitioner case studies, and contributions to policy development related to the role of DPS, utilizing specific performance indicators, and exploring technology implementation in the context of Islamic finance. These suggestions are expected to guide future researchers in developing more in-depth and relevant studies in this continuously evolving domain.
