Text to speech synthesis for bangla language
Статья научная
Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is a rapidly growing field of research. Speech synthesis systems are applicable to several areas such as robotics, education and embedded systems. The implementation of such TTS system increases the correctness and efficiency of an application. Though Bangla is the seventh most spoken language all over the world, uses of TTS system in applications are difficult to find for Bangla language because of lacking simplicity and lightweightness in TTS systems. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a simple and lightweight TTS system for Bangla language. We converted Bangla text to Romanized text based on Bangla graphemes set and by developing a bunch of romanization rules. Besides, an xml-based data representation is developed as a feature of the system. It gives the flexibility to modify the data representation, parsing data and create speech based on one’s own dialect. Our proposed system is very lightweight which takes less processing time and produces a good understandable speech.

The Decentralized Shariah-Based Banking System in Bangladesh Using Block-chain Technology
Статья научная
Shariah-based banking aims to apply Islamic finance while adhering to Shariah principles. The primary distinction between conventional and Islamic finance is that Sharia law explicitly forbids several of the activities and principles applied in conventional banking. According to Sharia law, “Paying or charging an interest (Riba)” lending with interest payments as an exploitative practice that benefits the lender at the expense of the borrower, “investing in businesses engaged in banned activities" like producing and selling alcohol or pork, “speculation or gambling(Maisir)” That means financial institutions are prohibited from participating in contracts where the ownership of goods depends on an unpredictable future event, and Participation in contracts with a high level of risk or uncertainty is referred to as "uncertainty and risk (Gharar)", which are strictly prohibited. As a result, consumers must be aware of whether they are taking Riba, Gharar, Maisir or if their money is invested in a halal firm. Because of its qualities, blockchain would be useful in this situation. This research tries to determine how blockchain technology can be used to make investments and profit or loss returns more transparent, more secure, Immutable and sharia compliant. Blockchain networks can be utilized in the financial industry, such as banking, to provide safe sharia banking.

With the widespread use of digital gaming, there is a growing need to determine how games and its components might be used for learning and teaching. The majority of study in this topic has taken place in more economically established and developed regions, leaving a research void in emerging country situations. To gain a deeper understanding of the learning engagement, it is of significance to examine the gamification perceived ease of use as well as a dive into the learning goal orientation. This study examines the moderating effect of learning goal orientation that influences the relationship between gamification application and learning engagement. The theoretical model was tested in a quantitative study using structural equation modelling based on a PLS-SEM approach, conducted in Jakarta, with actual local college students. The findings of this investigation noted that gamification perceived ease of use was positively related to learning engagement, and learning goal orientation partially mediated this positive relationship. The value of this research may aid educators and practitioners in determining which factors may influence the adoption of gamification in formal higher education.

The Dominance of Organizational Culture towards the Effectiveness of System Based on Islamic Values
Статья научная
Organizational culture is the dominant value or habit that becomes the driving force for an organization. Values, thoughts, and symbols based on Islam that influence the norms of behavior, attitudes, habits, and habits of a person in various fields become the culture of Islamic organizations that are believed to be true. The fundamental problem in this research is that organizations do not understand what the dominant organizational culture is today, how effective the system users are with these cultural conditions, and whether the current level of effectiveness of the dominant culture follows Islamic values. Previous research shows the relationship between organizational culture and effectiveness, while this study adds new variables, and proves the relationship of organizational culture dominance model with system effectiveness based on Islamic values on practical contribution, and creates a new model on theoretical contribution. The research phase begins with finding the current dominant organizational culture using the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument and the Cultural Values Framework Instrument. Next, look for the relationship between the current dominant organizational culture and the effectiveness of the system by using the Delone and Mclean Is Success Model. Then combine the second model based on Islamic values using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) - Partial least square (PLS). The result of this research is that there is a relationship between the dominance of the current organizational culture and the effectiveness of information systems. This is because the dominant organization is a clan that is familial in reaching an agreement, commitment between members in communicating, increasing the intensity of members in using information systems, systems that are easy to reach and use, and the quality of information systems that are easy, effective, and accountable. Meanwhile, the dominance of organizational culture on the effectiveness of information systems based on Islamic values has not been fully proven. This means that the dominance of organizational culture on the effectiveness of the Islamic values information system still needs to be adjusted to the four indicators on the Islamic values variable showing the closeness of values.
