Authors: Low Andrew Zhijian , Ang Ee Ling , Khaliddin Nurliza
Published: July 2024

Purpose: Intravitreal injections (IVT) of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor are standard treatment procedures in ophthalmology for many retinal diseases. We conducted a full-cycle clinical audit to evaluate patient compliance with IVT in Penang Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Study design: Full cycle audit.
Methods: A 3-month audit was carried out on patients scheduled to receive IVT in the operation theatre between August and October 2019 (COVID-19 pre-pandemic period). Patient compliance rates were calculated. We set a target of 95% patient compliance rate. Interventional steps taken to improve compliance were carried out from April 2020 to September 2021 (during the Movement Control Order period). A 3-month re-audit was conducted between October and December 2021.
Results: A total of 481 patients were scheduled for IVT, and 50 patients (10.4%) did not present to the appointment. The compliance rate was 89.6%. The reasons for defaulting treatment included multiple hospital visits, transportation issues, cost of transportation, loss of daily wages, and fear of COVID-19 infection. Post-intervention, a total of 895 patients were scheduled for IVT in 3 months. Among these patients, 844 patients completed their IVT appointment, while 51 patients missed the scheduled IVT. The patients’ compliance rate also rose from 89.6% to 94.3%. There was also an increase of 87.1% in the total number of scheduled IVT as compared to the pre-intervention phase.
Conclusion: These interventions not only increased the number of patients receiving treatment but also improved patients’ compliance with IVT despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients benefited from reduced hospital visits, the cost of follow-up, and the risk of hospital infection.
A study on collaborative governance using an Institutional Analysis and Development Framework: with focus on creation of the Banghakcheon Culture and Arts Street in Dobong-gu, Seoul, Korea
Authors: Mun Chi woong ,   The Korean Association 0f Ngo Studies
Published: July 2024

Governance has been highlighted as an alternative mechanism to the traditional hierarchical solution method to solve problems in modern society. It has been attracting attention in various fields, by adding a descriptive word “collaborative,” despite the fact that “collaboration” is a key element in the meaning of governance. This raises the need for governance that complements the limitations of the “collaborative governance” led by the administrative authorities. In this study, we aimed to explore the necessity and possibility of “citizen-led collaborative governance” centered on citizen initiative to replace the administration-led collaborative governance. As an example of citizen-driven collaborative governance, we utilized Ostrom's Institutional Analysis and Development Framework to identify factors of citizen initiative in the creation of the Banghakcheon Culture and Arts Street in Dobong-gu, Seoul. This is a case where collaborative governance was established and operational because there was a clear common purpose to solve the inconvenience of the residents due to the existence of the densely concentrated harmful businesses for decades and the position of the city government, which was promoting a regional development strategy centered around culture. Through collaborative governance, all 31 harmful businesses were voluntarily closed, 17 of the vacant spaces were transformed into workshops and public spaces, and the surrounding streets were successfully regenerated with cafes and bookstores. As a result of the analysis through the institutional analysis framework, we concluded that the factors that enabled the citizen-led operation were the capacity of civil society accumulated over the years, the consensus of public-private partnership spread through participatory projects such as village communities in the administration, and the institutional devices and promotion systems such as ordinances that embodied citizen initiative.

The article presents the associations of clinical, laboratory, and clinical and instrumental features of patients with COVID-19 with increased risks of death and survival. The final model for predicting the risks of developing a lethal outcome in COVID-19 was determined, which has high classification qualities (optimal threshold value of the calculated model is equal to -1.6149; sensitivity – 97.1%; and specificity – 82.6%. The purpose of our study was to determine the risks of developing fatal outcomes in patients with COVID-19 based on their clinical, laboratory and instrumental features. The study was performed at the Department of Infectious and Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Parasitology, Phthisiology and Pulmonology of the Kharkiv National Medical University in accordance with the current bioethical norms and rules. All patients signed informed consent. 179 patients with COVID-19 aged 20–88 years (average age was [58.75±13.82] years) were observed. Medical and statistical calculations were performed using the IBM SPSS 25.0 software package. The associations of indicators with the binomial dependent variable were calculated using multiple logistic regression analysis with the calculation of β coefficients. The significance of differences was determined using the Mann-Whitney U-test with a threshold of statistical significance p=0.05. Based on the results, the final prognostic model of the risk of developing a lethal outcome of COVID-19 indicates an increased risk of death in COVID-19 with increasing age (by 13.9%), leukocyte count (by 14.4%), D-dimers (by 0.001%) on day 5–7. According to the model, an increase in the probability of survival in COVID-19 was significantly proved with an increase in hemoglobin (by 6.1%) at the day of hospitalization, monocyte count (by 17.1%) on day 5–7 and the use of ceftriaxone (by 87.8%). Keywords: prognostication, thromboelastography, clinical and laboratory characteristics.

Kelapa merupakan komoditas strategis yang memiliki peran sosial, budaya, dan ekonomi dalam kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia. Produk tanaman kelapa, selain untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat, juga sebagai sumber devisa negara melalui ekspor. Untuk meningkatkan produksi kelapa, maka petani produsen kelapa perlu meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan budidaya tanaman dalam mengoptimalkan produktivitas tanaman kelapa yang dikelolanya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat budaya tanaman kelapa oleh petani di Desa Uraur, Kecamatan Kairatu, Kabupaten Seram Bagian Barat. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode survei serta pengamatan langsung yang dilakukan terhadap petani yang mengelola tanaman kelapa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa budidaya tanaman kelapa yang dilakukan oleh petani di Desa Uraur masih bersifat tradisional berdasarkan pengetahuan turun temurun dari orang tua, sehingga belum dilaksanakan dengan baik dan benar. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari teknik pembibitan masih berasal dari benih sendiri, pemeliharaan tanaman yang dilakukan belum intensif, hanya melakukan pengendalian gulma. Petani tidak melalukan pemupukan, pengendalian hama dan penyakit terhadap tanaman kelapa, serta panen dan pasca penen yang dilakukan dengan seadanya.

Learning eco-friendly food choice using extended reality
Authors: Dobricki Martin , Rihs Michael , Shahmoradi Sina
Published: July 2024

Eco-friendly food choice requires that human individuals relate themselves and their natural environment to each other. They may establish this human-environment relation by experiencing their food choices being accompanied by negative or positive changes of an eco-system. Hence, educating human individuals by enabling them to such human-environment experiences may foster their eco- friendly food choice. Yet, this would require inducing climate-related environmental changes on purpose that immediately follow one’s choice of food. We have, therefore, developed an immersive virtual reality (VR) type of extended reality consisting in a life-sized 3D virtual environment in which grabbing food is accompanied by climate-related environmental changes or their reversal depending on the food’s carbon footprint. A promising opportunity for using this EcoVR to teach eco-friendly food choice to a rather large part of society may be in lower secondary education. We have therefore started to investigate the utility of this EcoVR for this educational level with teachers and learners. In a first study, we have asked experienced secondary school teachers to test EcoVR and to rate its educational usefulness. In a second study, we have explored if EcoVR can serve teenagers for learning. The findings of the first study suggest that the teachers regard EcoVR to be useful for teaching climate- friendly food consumption. Moreover, they regard this educational usefulness of EcoVR to be higher than that of its PC version. In accordance with this the results of the second study suggest that the teenagers learn eco-friendly food choice more rapidly using EcoVR than using its PC version. Hence, in lower secondary education EcoVR may have the potential to serve pupils for learning climate- friendly food choice. Moreover, it may serve as a digital bridge or metaverse between the learning of relevant skills in school and the application of these skills in daily life.

Published: July 2024

This conceptual paper investigates the impact of TikTok on customer purchase behaviours. It looks at the way consumers' views and decisions are influenced by influencers and short films. A conceptual model that outlines the way TikTok content, mainly those created by influencers, influences consumer decision-making is created from research that has already been published. TikTok's unique influence on consumer preferences can be attributed to its unique features, which include interactive aspects and short movies. The conceptual model provides an in-depth discussion of TikTok's influence on customer behaviour by blending ideas from digital communication research, marketing theory, and social psychology. The research highlights the dynamic and appealing power of TikTok and explores the theoretical underpinnings of social influence, user engagement, and the changing role of influencers in the TikTok community. This conceptual study lays the groundwork for upcoming research, assisting researchers as they examine the multilayered connection between TikTok and modern consumer behaviour. This conceptual paper primarily seeks to shed light on the various ways that TikTok influences consumers' decision-making processes.

Published: July 2024

Entrepreneurship is a part of social science, and it has many definitions. An entrepreneur is a person who actively seeks out change, adapts to it, and seizes the chance it presents as an opportunity. An entrepreneur has the capacity and aptitude to create and bring together all the production factors. Nowadays, entrepreneurs must utilize the internet and technology to widely promote their goods or services. They must be competitive, able to survive, and relevant in the business world; they must also be astute enough to grasp the digital platform and use it as one of their most powerful marketing tools. The development of technology in business has helped to open various new opportunities for entrepreneurs. In recent years, the use of digital technology has become increasingly prevalent in the business world, in addition to the outbreak of the covid 19 pandemic, causing a high reliance on digital technology in business. Digital technology and artificial intelligence have had a significant impact on entrepreneurial activities around the world. However, a substantial majority of business owners in Malaysia see the significance of technology in the administration of their companies; moreover, only a tiny percentage of these business owners incorporate technology into their operations. Due to that, education and digital knowledge sharing for entrepreneurs also need to be developed rapidly in line with the country's demands to be better prepared to face the real challenges of the entrepreneurial world, especially in the current industry, which is constantly increasing. This concept paper focuses on the relationship between technology and entrepreneurship, the study of previous literature on the relationship between entrepreneurs and digital technology, government efforts, and the well-being and development of entrepreneurs in Malaysia.

Published: July 2024

Learning a new language can be a challenging experience for students. In today's world, being able to communicate successfully in Bahasa Melayu is becoming more crucial, particularly for foreign students interacting with local students. However, learning a new language requires time and effort, and students struggle to balance language learning with academic and personal commitments. In addition, there is a viewpoint that the implementation of classes for a long period of time can lower students' interest and attentiveness in class. This due to a long period of time which can cause students to become tired and bored, and this situation will also lead to a lack of understanding of the learning content which will have a negative impact on the students themselves. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between the focus time period and the learning style of international students in learning Malay language. This study is based on Dunn & Dunn's Theory (1992) and the ARCS Model (Keller, 1984). Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to international students at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). The questionnaire contains questions related to the duration of the student's focus during the Malay language learning session and learning style. The analysis of the study is using a quantitative approach, which is data collection using an online questionnaire instrument (Google form). In conclusion, an understanding of the focus period and learning style of international students can help educators and counselors in planning more effective teaching strategies that suit the individual needs of students. This also has important implications in designing a more inclusive and effective Malay language curriculum in the context of higher education in Malaysia.

Authors: Meles Christina , Ali Siti Rahaimah
Published: July 2024

This study aims to identify mathematics education values applied among primary school students in Malaysia. This study involved three fourth year students from three different schools in the state of Sarawak. Qualitative data was obtained through classroom observations, individual interviews, field notes and learning documents. All learning sessions were recorded using a video recorder while interviews were recorded using an audio recorder. The findings of the study show that not all the mathematics education valuss are applied explicitly in mathematics learning. All the students involved explained about the value of education applied in learning only when asked in pre-learning and post-learning interviews. Applied mathematics education values in mathematics learning implicitly include formalistic values, activist values, instrumental values, theoretical values, accessibility values and evaluation values. Furthermore, all students show a low tendency in relational values and reasoning where these values are important to promote critical and active thinking among students. Based on the findings of the study, it is hoped that this study will continue to obtain information about the mathematics education values applied in mathematics learning by emphasizing the active involvement of students in the classroom.

By harnessing the power of 25 solar lighting systems (ranging from 10 watts to 200 watts), this mosque has managed to reduce its reliance on traditional energy sources, thus contributing to energy security and saving 10% from the monthly electricity bills. It has served as a tangible demonstration of the benefits of solar energy, inspiring broader adoption within other mosque communities in Malaysia. In the near future, the dissemination of solar lighting technologies is anticipated to contribute towards more sustainable mosques and increase the community development through resilient approaches.

Pengolahan data barang pada BKSDA masih menggunakan pembukuan tertulis untuk melakukan pencatatan data keluar masuknya barang sehingga pegawai mengalami kesulitan dalam penentuan jumlah persediaan barang. Penentuan prediksi bukanlah hal yang mudah, jika terdapat kesalahan dalam menentukan jumlah yang akan diambil maka akan mengakibatkan kekosongan persediaan suatu barang digudang. Tujuan dari sistem prediksi persediaan barang untuk memudahkan pegawai bagian perlengkapan dalam penentuan jumlah barang persediaan dan dapat mengelola transaksi barang yang ada di instansi tersebut. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut maka dibuat sistem yang dapat melakukan pencatatan terhadap jumlah barang yang masuk dan keluar dari gudang, sistem ini dilengkapi dengan perhitungan prediksi jumlah persediaan barang menggunakan menggunakan metode FIS (Fuzzy Inference System) Tsukamoto sehingga jumlah persediaan dalam gudang bisa tetap stabil. Variabel yang digunakan dalam menentukan prediksi barang berdasarkan jumlah persediaan barang yang tersisa, data pembelian dan jumlah barang keluar. Dengan mengkombinasikan semua himpunan fuzzy tersebut, diperoleh empat aturan fuzzy yang selanjutnya digunakan dalam tahap inferensi. Pada tahap inferensi, dicari nilai keanggotaan anteseden (α) dan nilai perkiraan jumlah produksi (z) dari setiap aturan. Jumlah barang yang akan diproduksi (Z) dicari dengan metode defuzzifikasi rata-rata terpusat. Sistem informasi ini akan menampilkan informasi barang yang keluar dari gudang, informasi persediaan barang, informasi prediksi persediaan dan informasi-informasi pendukung lainya. Semua informasi yang dihasilkan dalam sistem ini akan ditampilkan dalam bentuk website.
