An experimental study: An integrative strategy of PBL combined with an organ-systems-based curriculum to improve academic achievement and career maturity
Get PDFThis study aims to investigate the impact of integrating Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Organ System-Based Curriculum (OSBC) on medical students' academic achievement and career maturity within the context of medical education. An experimental design was employed, involving students from a medical school in China. Participants were randomly assigned to either a control group with a traditional curriculum or an experimental group receiving an integrated PBL and OSBC curriculum focused on cardiovascular system diseases. The intervention spanned four weeks. The results indicate that the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher academic achievement immediately after the intervention compared to the control group. This improvement persisted in a follow-up test conducted one month later. Career maturity also improved in the experimental group, albeit with a less sustained effect. The study underscores the potential of integrated teaching strategies in medical education for enhancing critical thinking and practical skills. However, long-term improvements in career maturity may necessitate further refinement of teaching methods. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on effective medical education strategies and emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach to prepare students for academic excellence and clinical competence. Future research with larger sample sizes and consideration of additional influencing factors is recommended to gain deeper insights into the dynamics of medical education

The sample used in the research consisted of 8 high school teachers from 8 subject groups in semester 1 of the academic year 2022 at Kowit Thamrong School, Chiang Mai. The research tools consisted of courses and user manuals, as well as a teacher competency assessment form and Satisfaction Survey Form. The data were analyzed by finding the mean and standard deviation. Together with the content analysis, Analysis data by Descriptive statistics and Content Analysis. The research results were found as follows; 1. The training curriculum development model to promote teachers' awareness of sexuality education consisted of 4 components: (1) curriculum principles, (2) objectives, (3) curriculum development process, and (4) measurement and evaluation. 2. During the curriculum assessment, it was established that educators had a dual focus. Firstly, they concentrated on facilitating learning methods that highlighted effective educational approaches (2.1). Secondly, they required a learning design that emphasized observation (2.2). This approach aligns with an educational model wherein curriculum development nurtures learners to comprehend the model in terms of perspective and efficiency
Environmental Responsibilities and Firms Financial Performance: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis
Get PDFThe aim of this study is to present a systematic review and bibliometric analysis of 512 studies on environmental responsibilities and firm financial performance literature. The study aims to track the research trend and identify the reasons behind heterogeneity in the studied association. The Scopus database was comprehensively searched to collect bibliographic material, giving an overview of contributing and influential research areas, key authors, journals, and countries. Network visualization is used to identify clusters. Content analysis of the literature revealed the essential topics of the investigation. The systematic review revealed that geographical constraints, regulatory constraints, and lack of standardizability are significant reasons for heterogeneity. We identify three major researched areas: a) economic and financial impact, b) innovation, environment management system, and standards, and c) supply chain management development. Discussion on the signifi cant clusters concludes that studies showing positive economic benefits dominate the literature. Overall, the results of different scientific production do not indicate consensus in one direction, but mixed results help to build a new perspective and expand the research horizon. Using a systematic process, this study recognizes the value-creation potential of proactive environmental management practices

Green Marketing of Aqua Mineral Water: How Does Trust Mediate Among Generation Z?
Get PDFIndonesia is the second-largest country globally that produces a very high amount of plastic waste, reaching 68 million tons. Meanwhile, plastic materials are difficult to decompose and take hundreds of years to disappear completely. This led to the increasing awareness of consumers around the world to decrease the use of plastic by choosing sustainable products. The purpose of this study is to analyze green marketing of the Aqua product and its impact among Generation Z. The variables of this research such as green product, green branding, and green advertising are independent variables, purchase decision is a dependent variable, and consumer trust is an intervening variable. This research is quantitative research using non-probability sampling with purposive sampling to spread the questionnaires with 30 questions and processed with SmartPLS 3.3.5 (Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model). The total respondents of this research are 299 respondents with aged around 17–25 years old (generation Z) in Indonesia. The result shows that 7 hypotheses are accepted. Hence, this study explains that the green product, green branding, and green advertising will increase consumer trust and ultimately increase customer purchase decision of Aqua green products
Sustainable Disclosure Toward Firm Value: Recent Development and Future Research Agenda
Get PDFThis study aims to investigate empirical research to see the relationship between sustainability disclosure and firm value. This literature review is important for enhancing our understanding of the relationship between sustainability disclosure and firm value. Reviewing prior studies provides valuable insights and conclusions, and identifies trends, patterns, and gaps in the existing research. Articles were identified via publish or perish software and the Web of Science database. Through scanning with PRISMA, we analyzed 43 articles from 24 leading journals from 2007 to 2021. To the best of the researchers’ knowledge, a literature review on the relationship between sustainability disclosure and firm value is unprecedented. This study advances our knowledge of sustainability disclosure as a factor in firm value. In more detail, this study looks at the ideas that have been put out to explain the connection between the two variables and concludes that previous empirical investigations have not produced consistent findings regarding the relationship between sustainability disclosure and firm value. The relationship between sustainability disclosure and firm value has been explored from various theoretical perspectives: legitimacy theory, stakeholder theory, agency theory, signaling theory, and information asymmetry theory
A New Contemporary Model of Brand Fidelity: A Sustainable Clothing Brand Perspective
Get PDFThe concept of brand is notoriously difficult to define and the findings of existing studies on this concept are mixed and inconclusive. This current study enriches the brand study reservoir by developing a new conceptual model of brand fidelity. It also presents a set of hypotheses that aim to provide a better understanding of the moderating effect of brand prominence and self-brand connection on the relationship between brand love and brand fidelity. The responses of 200 Indonesian online respondents were analyzed using Smart-PLS. The statistical results demonstrate that brand love, brand prominence, and self-brand connection positively and significantly influence brand fidelity. In contrast, it was found that brand prominence does not moderate the relationship between brand love and brand fidelity, while self-brand connection negatively and significantly does. Further, this study provides future research avenues and important implications for academics and business practitioners
Green Investing, Environmental Performance, and Firm Valuation: Evidence from Indonesia
Get PDFThis study investigates how green investing influences a firm environmental performance and eventually affects its financial valuation. Little research has addressed whether green investing can affect corporate environmental performance and how it influences the firm value, specifically when looking into its channels. Using companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2009 to 2021 and a pooled OLS on unbalanced panel data, our results suggest that green investing significantly enhances the company’s environmental performance. The positive relationship between green investing and environmental performance is strengthened if the company is involved in social investment forums, while a firm with high shareholder protection weakens the positive relation. Further, the results show that environmental performance lowers the firm value. However, suppose firms focus on green innovation to develop and conduct eco-friendly research where economic value and environmental sustainability can be carried out simultaneously. In that case, it leads to higher firm financial performance. We extend the literature by contributing to the fields of investment management, innovation, and environmental literature by emphasizing financial logic that prioritizes the welfare of shareholders, which can be an important instrument to support the environmental logic of green investing
Towards Environmental Disclosure Based on Corporate Governance
Get PDFThis study examines the effect of Corporate Governance (CG) on Economic Performance (EP) and CG on environmental disclosure (ED). Besides, it examines the mediating role of Economic performance (EcP) on CG and ED; and Environmental performance (EnP) on EcP and ED. This research used secondary data from Bloomberg with a purposive sampling method to obtain 2084 Asian public companies from 2006 to 2020. This research used multiple linear regression methods for data analysis. The results showed that CG and EcP had an effect on ED. EcP could not mediate the relationship between CG and ED. Besides, there was no moderating role of EcP in the relationship between EcP and ED. This study suggests that CG and EcP are important for improving ED. Furthermore, stakeholders need to pay attention to CG, EcP, EnP, and ED regarding business assessment. This study provides empirical evidence about the mediating role of EnP in the relationship between EcP and ED in public companies in Asia Pacific. There was still little research that discusses the relationship between environmental, social, and governance issues of an organization and its financial profitability. As far as our search from previous studies, this is the first study that examines the effect of corporate environmental, social, and governance practices on financial performance in the context of developing countries
