Knowledge, Awareness, and Practice Study of Occupational Safety and Health among Mukah Divisional Health Office Staff
Full text linkDespite high occupational hazard risks, only one accident was reported in five years at Mukah Divisional Health Office, suggesting underreporting possibly due to gaps in OSH knowledge, awareness, and practices (KAP). This study assessed KAP levels among 114 staff, including those from KKIA. Findings showed high OSH knowledge overall, but medium levels on PPE and safety procedures. Awareness was high except for near-miss incidents. Practices were generally good. These gaps may contribute to underreporting. Targeted interventions such as safety training, awareness campaigns, workshops, and routine OSH inspections are recommended to reduce risks and improve workplace safety
Work Family Conflict on Individual Work Performance among Female Laundry Workers in Pontianak City, Indonesia
Full text linkWomen managing concurrent work and family responsibilities often experience substantial role-related pressures. This study examines the influence of Work-Family Conflict on Individual Work Performance, with income and work period assessed as moderating variables. Cross-sectional design, data were collected from 115 female laundry workers in Pontianak City, Indonesia, and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling. The results show that Work-Family Conflict influences performance solely through the Counterproductive Work Behavior dimension, with income weakening and work period strengthening. The limited sample size represents a key constraint, indicating the need for broader and more diverse future investigations
Enhancing Primary School Students' Learning Experiences and Emotions with Interactive AR Textbooks: A design-based research approach
Full text linkThis study explores augmented reality (AR) to enhance primary school students' learning experiences and emotions using interactive textbooks. Employing a design-based research (DBR) methodology, it examines AR-assisted learning materials and their impact. The study addresses three objectives: reviewing the literature on AR learning, developing AR textbooks to enhance engagement and emotions, and providing insights for future education research. Conducted with 304 students in six Perak schools, the study demonstrates AR’s potential to boost engagement, academic performance, and emotional responses. The findings highlight AR's transformative role in primary education, contributing to the development of effective and engaging learning systems
Influence of Epidemic Painting on People’s Emotions
Full text linkThe background of the study is based on COVID-19 from March 2020 to May 2023, a period in which anxiety and depression rose by 25% globally. The study explores how painting can serve as a tool for releasing emotions and positively impacting mental health. The study uses qualitative research methods and Feldman's visual analysis theory to analyze paintings related to the epidemic and identify key factors that contribute to emotional relief. The findings suggest that epidemic painting resonates with viewers and helps them release their emotions
Design and Inheritance of the She Ethnic Wedding Costumes based on the Grounded Theory
Full text linkThis study employs open-ended interviews and textual analysis to collect data on the primary elements influencing the design and dissemination of She ethnic wedding costume. Employing grounded theory, four principal categories were discerned: the significance of clothing attributes, awareness of cultural identity, incorporation of contemporary technology, and proactive engagement in cultural dissemination. A "cognition–emotion–behavior" model was established to elucidate how these aspects collectively influence modern design methods and cultural transmission routes. The results establish a theoretical basis for comprehending the mechanisms of impact and present practical insights for advancing the sustainable development of She ethnic wedding costume culture
Teaching and Learning in Hospital-Based Schools: A systematic literature review of models, needs and challenges
Full text linkThis systematic review aims to identify the curriculum models, needs and challenges of School in Hospital (SiH) programmes. SiH provides continuous education for students receiving long-term treatment, but its implementation faces unique problems that require flexible and student-centred approaches. Using the PRISMA protocol, 129 articles were screened from five major databases, and 11 studies were included for thematic analysis. Results show that SiH requires flexible and structured curriculum models, individual learning paths and emotional support. Key challenges include treatment interruptions, limited resources, emotional stress and social isolation. The review highlights the need for a holistic SiH teaching model
Barriers to ESG Adoption in Malaysian SMEs: A stakeholder theory perspective
Full text linkEnvironmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices are vital for responsible business conduct, yet adoption among Malaysian manufacturing SMEs remains limited. Using Stakeholder Theory, this concept paper examines internal barriers such as resource constraints, limited ESG expertise, and low awareness, including external barriers like complex regulations and weak stakeholder support. These challenges hinder SMEs from meeting stakeholder expectations and aligning with sustainability goals. This paper offers a structured understanding of why ESG is underutilized in SMEs, highlighting implications for policy, stakeholder engagement, and SME resilience, and suggesting future research on how stakeholder demands interact with these barriers
Tracking Legislative trends on Food Security: ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) resolutions
Full text linkThis study traces food-security legislation trends in Southeast Asia by analysing ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) General Assembly resolutions from 1978–2024. Although non-binding, resolutions shape parliamentary discourse and support ASEAN cooperation on transboundary food challenges. Using longitudinal thematic coding, the paper tracks how framing evolves from broad commitments toward specific priorities: sustainable agriculture, nutrition, rural development, climate resilience, trade integration, and agri-food innovation. Recent resolutions have been assessed against ASEAN’s Regional Agri-Food Innovation (RAI) initiative, which promotes sustainable collaboration. Findings highlight persistent attention to food security and the growing role of the AIPA Caucus, as limited reporting constrains impact assessment
Corruption in the Public Sector: Determinants, implications and solutions
Full text linkCorruption in the public sector remains a major challenge, particularly in developing countries. This study explores the psychological, organizational, and situational factors that drive corrupt behavior among civil servants. Drawing on empirical data and theoretical frameworks such as the Fraud Triangle, Public Service Motivation theory, and the Corruption Hexagon Model, this study explores how moral framework, leadership and life events influence corrupt behavior. Findings suggest that corrupt practices, including procurement fraud and bribery, have implications for perpetrators, victims, and national development. The study concludes with solutions that target institutional culture and reform, authentic leadership, and improved law enforcement
Exploring the Elements of Numbers and Measures in Indonesian National Songs as a Reflection of the Nation's Collective Identity
Full text linkThis study analyzes the linguistic function of quantifiers (satu, banyak, raya, selama) in Indonesian national anthems as instruments of ideological construction. Employing a qualitative descriptive design combined with Roland Barthes' semiotic framework, this research quantifies these lexical elements and examines their semantic roles. The analysis reveals that quantifiers operate beyond grammatical functions to form a 'myth' that naturalizes concepts of unity and patriotism. Spatial and temporal quantifiers are strategically used to bridge the archipelago's diversity into a singular national imagination, serving as rhetorical tools for collective identity formation
