Published: January 2022

Can English movies improve ESL learners’ speaking confidence? What are the suggested ways to implement English movies in acquiring speaking confidence for ESL learners? The main goal of the review is to study how English movies can aid ESL learners in higher education who struggle with speaking confidence. The search phrases used in these databases were “English movies” AND “confidence” and “English movies” AND “speaking” in order to acquire a list of relevant research. The first aspect that we will discuss in this review is the issue of low speaking confidence that is usually caused by language anxiety, lack of self-esteem and fear of judgement among other reasons. The articles collected represent language learners from different age ranges such as young kindergarten learners until university level learners. In addition to that, we will also investigate further into the research from the databases available for English movies that can be utilized as instructional aid for ESL learners to acquire speaking confidence. To find relevant research publications, four databases were used: ProQuest, Science Direct, Scopus and JSTOR. The review was carried out by using the UMS Library's access to subscribed databases. As part of this systematic review, we devised a search strategy to collect relevant literature. Researchers over the years have differing opinions on the current situation. The majority of the study indicates that language learners often struggled from speaking anxiety and fear of public speaking whether it is due to judgement of others or their own limited speaking abilities. We have mapped the literature to enable readers to understand the lessons from past literature that can be learned as well as provide a future agenda to the issue.

The current scenario revealed that many universities, both public and private, are taking various initiatives in improving the quality of academic programs offered. This is because, excellence in academic achievement is one of the determining factors for the graduate employability. However, psychological factors such as self -concept are still under -emphasized as an important aspect in determining academic achievement. Therefore, this study aims to look at the relationship between self -concept and academic achievement of students in Institutions of higher learning. The study uses a survey method in which subjects were selected through simple random sampling involving 160 students (n = 160). Descriptive statistical analysis was used to describe the level of academic achievement and the level of self -concept of the subject in the form of percentage as well as frequency. Meanwhile, regression analysis was used to see the influence of self-concept factors on academic achievement. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows; (i) the majority of subjects had academic achievement at the honors level (51.9%) (ii) the majority of subjects had a moderate level of self -concept (61.3%); and (iii) the self -concept factor which contribute to the highest percentage of changes in academic achievement is the construct of personal self -concept (17.1 percent). In conclusion, this study successfully proves that self-concept has a significant relationship with students' academic achievement and there are self-concept factors that contribute to academic achievement. Implications and recommendations for future studies are also discussed in this study.

Published: January 2022

The concept of mental health is abstract in nature and is hence difcult to be understood. This led the present investigators to attempt to have a
cognizance of mental health from community psychology perspective. Aqualitative research purview towards studying the concept by embracing
a community-based participatory research paradigm was adopted for the purpose. The social-ecological model as well as the blended model were
used to arrive at qualitative interviewing of community stakeholders like psychologists, psychiatrists, patients, public health professionals and
qualitative researchers. Focus group discussions were conducted with the members of community advisory board (CAB) to arrive at a rich
understanding of the concept. It was ensured that representatives of law, visual media, policy makers, religious leaders and other professionals were
included in the sample. People suffering from mental illness (with insight), mental health professionals, and caregivers were also approached to
seek their valuable opinion. Transcription and analysis of data followed to extract meaning of the rich information obtained. The study found less
streamlined knowledge regarding mental health concept and allied issues. The ndings are important not only to provide clarity to the concept of
mental health, but also to address the related stigma and taboos. They are important for mass awareness of citizens in the country and for improving
the stay-quality of individuals by promoting their well-being in general.

A 22 year old pregnant woman was hospitalised with fever, cough, myalgia and dyspnoea at 12 weeks of gestation. Worsening respiratory distress
and lack of improvement in peripheral oxygen saturation mandated the need for mechanical ventilation and ICU admission. A nasopharyngeal
swab proved positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 by reverse transcription-PCR. In view of poor P/F ratios patient was
ventilated intermittently in prone position for approximately 14-16 hours/day. With this strategy, patient was ventilated for 5 days and successfully
extubated. Regular foetal assessments revealed that the fetus was unharmed by the intervention. Thus, we recommend timely prone ventilation in
pregnant patients with severe covid 19 infection for better outcomes

Effective Prediction of Online Reviews for Improvement of Customer Recommendation Services by Hybrid Classification Approach
Authors: Duraipandian M. , Vinothkanna R.
Published: January 2022

Customers post online product reviews based on their own experience. They may share their thoughts and comments on items on online shopping websites. The sentiment analysis comprises of opinion or idea process and process of sorting high rating reviews according to how well the product satisfies. Opinion mining is a technique for extracting useful data from large amounts of texts in order to use those to enhance or expand a company's operations. According to consumer evaluations, many of the goods aren't as good as they seem. It's common that buyers submit their thoughts on a product but then forget to rate it. The prior data preprocessing is more efficient to extract the features by CNN approach. This proposed methodology breaks down each user's rating prediction model into two parts: one based on the review text and other based on the user rating matrix with the help of CNN feature engineering. The goal of this study is to classify all reviews into ratings by SVM model. This proposed classification model provides good accuracy to predict the online reviews efficiently. For reviews without ratings, a further prediction of feelings is generated using multiple classifiers. The benefits of this proposed model are honed using helpfulness ratings from a small number of evaluations such as accuracy, F1 score, sensitivity, and precision. According to studies using the standard benchmark dataset, the accuracy of customized recommendation services, user happiness, and corporate trust may all be enhanced by including review helpfulness information in the recommender system.
THE IMPACT OF EMERGING INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY IN THE PORT: INCREASING UTILITIES RENDERING TO SHARED VERDICTS
Authors: Biplab Santra  , Kamal Kumar Bardhan
Published: January 2022

Today, transportation quantities on roadways have increased to the point where alternate forms of transportation are required. Sea Routes Transportation (SRT) is one option that has the potential to assist relieve traffic congestion on roadways. Most SRT systems employ vessels in which cargo is rolled on and off by a ramp with relatively limited capacity, often less than 500 TEU, however with increased cargo flow, it is unclear if such alternatives will be economical. The dilemma for ports participating in SRT to face this new massive change is to make suitable expenditures and analysis software. Transition is not just a current trend, as well as a structured process. That modification could not be avoided by excluding ports. A transformation project has begun in order to modify their operating structure as well as the services they provide. Artificial intelligence and data-driven services expand the landscape of services far beyond conventional models now in use. The purpose of this study is to examine and assess the new potential for Telecommunications/Information and Communication Technology (ICT) companies at port facilities. These prospects are a first step in transforming ports for the long term. The research’s important component is the application of technology science approaches in the area of strategy and planning connected to the construction of components systems (e.g., interrelations among ships and materiel) with managing equipment selections.

Published: January 2022

Hak kesamarataan terhadap warganegara atas alasan jantina telah dijamin di bawah Perkara 8(2) Perlembagaan Perseketuan dan triti hak asasi manusia antarabangsa. Walaupun hak kesamarataan mereka telah dijamin, golongan transgender mendakwa mereka masih menerima diskriminasi dan layanan tidak sama rata terutamanya ketika mendapatkan rawatan kesihatan. Oleh itu, objektif kajian ini adalah untuk melihat sejauh mana kewujudan undang-undang domestik dan perjanjian antarabangsa yang telah meletakkan piawaian tertinggi mengenai layanan terhadap individu yang mempunyai kecelaruan identiti jantina atau transgender diaplikasikan di Malaysia. Kaedah yang digunakan dalam menyelesaikan kajian ini adalah melalui rujukan dan juga temu bual. Dalam kajian ini, pengkaji berjaya melihat bahawa hak kesamarataan yang dijamin di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan adalah tidak mutlak dan tertakluk pada undang-undang lain yang berkaitan. Penyelidik juga berjaya mengenal pasti beberapa alternatif yang boleh digunakan agar permasalahan berkaitan diskriminasi terhadap golongan transgender ini dapat diselesaikan, iaitu dengan penguatkuasaan undang-undang yang lebih tegas dan penetapan suatu tindakan yang lebih berat oleh kerajaan Malaysia terhadap pengamal kesihatan apabila berlaku diskriminasi terhadap golongan transgender.

Published: January 2022

Tulisan ini tentang pelaksanaan administrasi pengajaran di MAS Al-Washliyah Kota Medan yang merupakan sebuah lembaga pendidikan yang berafiliasi pada organisasi Al-Jam’iyatul Washliyah. Tulisan ini menarik dilakukan karena MAS Al-Washliyah ini sejauh ini masih sangat kuat dalam menjaga ideologi organisasi yang menaunginya yang lebih cenderung bersifat tradisional dan kurang siap menghadapi perubahan pendidikan yang terus terjadi. Dalam tulisan ini dirumuskan ada tiga masalah yang berkaitan dengan kenyataan yang dikemukan sebelumnya, yaitu 1) bagaimana pelaksanaan administrasi pengajaran di MAS Al-Washliyah Kota Medan 2) bagaimana pelaksanaan administrasi keguruan di MAS Al-Washliyah Kota Medan dan 3) bagaimana pelaksanaan administrasi kesiswaan di MAS Al-Washliyah Kota Medan. Dari rumusan masalah yang dikemukan tulisan ini diharapkan mampu memberikan jawaban yang utuh, sehingga dapat menjawab secara tepat apa saja yang dibutuhkan jawabannya dari tulisan ini. Berdasarkan tulisan ini ditemukan bahwa pelaksanaan administrasi pengajaran di Madrasah Al-Washliyah Kota Medan sudah ada upaya pembaharuan yang dilakukan, tetapi belum menyentuh pada aspek substansi dari pembaharuan kurikulum. Temuan ini dikuat bahwa pelaksanaan administrasi pengajaran telah menerapkan atau memberlakukan Kurikulum Berbasis Kompetensi dalam perencenaan, pengelolaan serta pembelajaran yang berbasis madrasah. Pelaksanan administrasi keguruan di Madrasah AlWashliyah Kota Medan dapat disebut sudah cukup baik, walaupun tentunya belum dapat berjalan secara maksimal. Menyadari hal tersebut MAS selalu berupaya mendelegasikan guru-gurunya untuk mengikuti berbagai seminar dan pelatihan yang berkaitan dengan tugas dan fungsi guru. Kemudian, MAS juga menerapkan guru BP sebagai bagian dari struktur guru MAS yang menangai siswasiswa, tetapi guru BP ini belum berperan secara aktif. Pelaksanan administrasi kesiswaan di Madrasah Al-Washliyah Kota Medan dapat disebut sudah dijalankan secara baik dengan memberikan kebebasan kepada siswa dalam melakukan pelbagai kegiatan yang berkaitan dengan organisasi kesiswaan dan menerapakan disilin, baik dalam belajar ataupun di luar belajar.

Use of 3-D Printed Models for Implant Placement - A Case Series
Authors: Bala Muralei Soundariya
Published: January 2022

Long-term stability of a dental implant depends on various factors, one among them is proper position within the alveolar bone. Pre-operative thorough examination of the surgical site is preliminary step while planning dental implants. Conventional techniques such as Intra-Oral Periapical Radiograph and Ortho Pantamogram sometimes not sufficient and clinical scenario always surprises the surgeon. Later advent of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography alleviated this problem to some extent but there are some clinical situations such as resorbed ridge where better visualisation is needed. This led to the innovation of rapid prototyping techniques for the fabrication of three-dimensional complex structures. This technology has numerous applications from the development of an instrument, 3-D printed anatomical models to the fabrication of 3-D printed tissues for regeneration procedures. A 3-D printed model is much more useful than plaster models in many aspects such as demonstrating anatomical structures, better treatment planning, and better understanding for the patient. Hence, this case series focuses on the use of 3-D printed models in the placement of dental implants.
Spiritualitas Makan Bersama: Interkoneksi Sesama Ciptaan dalam Praktik Pemeliharaan Alam
Authors: Dameria Christina , Bratanata Dewi Shinta
Published: January 2022

Eating together is a culture that was born along with human civilization. Eating together becomes a symbol in both religious and cultural rituals. Christianity notes that eating together becomes a medium in spreading the gospel that Jesus and His disciples did. The symbolic meaning presented in the practice or culture of eating together is acceptance and fellowship. Acceptance is defined as a space to acknowledge the equality of fellow human beings, which creates a sense of solidarity. At the same time, the fellowship provides space to connect. In addition, eating together fulfills the body's physical needs for hunger and restores the freshness of the soul from fatigue. This article tries to connect symbols in eating together to present spirituality in viewing other creations, namely nature that has been damaged. Natural damage needs to be seen as a reality that must be faced and resolved t in the spirituality of eating together. Another creation is nature being the poor, oppressed, marginalized and sick. The solidarity presented in the moment of eating together becomes a new perspective in seeing the context of the destruction of nature and the awareness to build the disconnected interconnection of fellow creations.AbstrakMakan bersama merupakan budaya yang lahir seiring dengan peradaban manusia. Makan bersama menjadi simbol baik dalam ritual keagamaan maupun budaya. Kekristenan mencatat bahwa makan bersama menjadi sebuah media dalam mengabarkan Injil yang dilakukan Yesus dan para murid-Nya. Makna simbolik yang dihadirkan dalam ritual atau budaya makan bersama adalah penerimaan dan persekutuan. Penerimaan diartikan sebagai sebuah ruang untuk mengakui adanya persamaan terhadap sesama manusia yang menimbulkan rasa solidaritas. Sedangkan persekutuan memberikan ruang untuk saling terhubung satu dengan yang lain. Selain itu makan bersama tidak sekadar memenuhi kebutuhan fisik tubuh akan rasa lapar tetapi juga mengembalikan kesegaran jiwa akan rasa lelah. Artikel ini mencoba menghubungkan simbol-simbol dalam makan bersama untuk menghadirkan spiritualitas dalam memandang ciptaan lain yaitu alam yang telah rusak. Kerusakan alam perlu dipandang sebagai sebuah kenyataan yang harus dihadapi dan diselesaikan bersama dalam spiritualitas makan bersama. Ciptaan lain yaitu alam menjadi yang miskin, tertindas, tersingkir dan sakit. Solidaritas yang dihadirkan dalam momen makan bersama menjadi sebuah perspektif baru dalam melihat konteks kerusakan alam dan kesadaran untuk membangun interkoneksi sesama ciptaan yang terputus.

Hypochondriasis: A Literature Review
Authors: Ahmad Syaukat
Published: January 2022

Hypochondriasis is one of six somatoform disorders categorized in the DSM-IV. Hypochondriasis is distinguished from other somatic delusional disorders because this disorder is associated with the experience of physical symptoms experienced by the sufferer, whereas other somatoform disorders do not show physical symptoms in themselves. Symptoms that arise may be an exaggerated statement of physical symptoms, which will actually exacerbate physical symptoms caused by the belief that the patient is sick and in a worse condition than the actual situation. Treatment of hypochondriasis includes recording symptoms, psychosocial review, and psychotherapy. Good prognosis is associated with high socioeconomic status, sudden onset, absence of personality disorders and absence of concomitant non-psychiatric medical conditions.

The Postpartum period is characterized by overwhelming emotional, biological, physical, and social changes. It needs significant personal and interpersonal adaptation, especially in primigravida. Pregnant women and their families are colored by the joyful arrival of a new baby in the postpartum period. But also, the mother in the postpartum period can be vulnerable to a range of postpartum psychosis. Postpartum psychosis is one of serious mental disorder that can result in adverse consequences such as suicide. Suicide is rare during the acute episode, but the rate is high later in the mother’s life and first-degree relatives. Psychosis postpartum is frequently under‑diagnosed, it needs early screening and diagnosis to determine the appropriate treatment as a mandatory part of postpartum care.
Effect of Potassium Alum Salt Particles on the Activation Energy of Poly(ethylene oxide) Doped with Conductive Carbon Black (CB) Nanoparticles
Authors: Adaileh Abeer , Al-Tweissi Mohammed , Miqdad Husam
Published: January 2022

The electrical properties of conductive carbon black (CB) nanoparticles (0.1wt percent) doped thin films made of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) filled with varying amounts of the electrolyte potassium alum salt and doped with conductive carbon black (CB) nanoparticles (0.1wt percent) have been investigated. The dependence of the activation energy of the composites on frequency, temperature, and filler content was studied using the AC impedance technique. The current research looked at how activation energy changed with frequency (200-1000 kHz) and temperature (30-55oC) for composites with varied potassium alum salt concentrations: 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 wt. percent. The activation energy (Ea) values measured exhibited frequency, temperature, and filler content relationships. According to polarization processes, the activation energy of the produced sheets decreases with the potassium alum salt content in the composite and decreases with the temperature. With increasing frequency, the activation energy of the produced thin films decreases.
Late Failure of a Polyethylene Unicompartmental Knee Insert -Retrieval Analysis Protocol and Results
Authors: Marinescu Rodica , Laptoiu Dan , Stancu Izabela-Cristina , Busuioc Cristina
Published: January 2022

This study reports the investigation of a degraded polyethylene insert retrieved after the catastrophic failure of a mobile bearing knee implant, occurred after a traumatic event and leading to a late revision. Understanding wear mechanisms of polyethylene components is important to improve the implants for joint replacement. This model of unicompartmental arthroplasty, due to its mobile, congruent insert and design, has the potential to attain low rates of wear, leading to an improved survival of the prosthesis over fixed-bearing knee implants. During the surgical technique, however, it is critical to avoid any source of impingement or incongruent articulation, as this are associated with increased rates of polyethylene wear and may contribute to the early necessity for revision surgery. The investigated insert presented a macroscopic fragmentation, surface and bulk defects and debris. Characterization of the retrieved polyethylene implant fragments was performed by macroscopic examination, by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Due to a systematic retrieval analysis according to current standards, we can question that, in our case, third body wear is rarely pure bone or pure cement debris related but a combination of the two mentioned. The combination enhanced contribution of polyethylene debris in severe wear initiation and progression. Complete examination of the explants exhibiting breakage or severe wear may help in understanding pathogenic ways of failure in unicompartmental knee.

In the medical field the additive manufacturing process by fused deposition modeling has gained a great importance given the ability to create complex, organic geometries, in a short time period and the possibility of high customization. By fused deposition process the part is created layer by layer and the resulting part is characterized by high anisotropy, dictated mostly by printing parameters. To alleviate the anisotropy and to study the mechanical behavior of the 3D printed parts thermal processing is used. The materials used as filament is a poly (lactic acid) with copper particles embedded for antibacterial purposes. Samples were 3D printed using a commercial printer, thermally processed and tested in compression. On the failed specimens fracture investigations were performed to understand mechanical behavior during compression. The mechanical characteristics showed improvement and the anisotropy decreased as the processing temperature increased, but the samples became brittle. The mechanical behavior changed drastically on the thermally processed samples because of structural changes: a discontinuity between exterior layers and infill layers was created post layer fusion, the first region being the one stressed and failed first during tests.

Published: January 2022

It is widely accepted that soil is a mixture of mineral constituents that have accumulated over time. The physical characteristics of soil vary according to the mineral and organic matter content and the process of formation. The soil`s unique characteristics have been the subject of research in the field of civil engineering, which has continued to evolve to the present day due to the land`s requirement for civil engineering construction, such as road paving. As a result, the current study sought to determine the similarity of soil samples based on their physical properties and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values, as well as the relationship between the soil`s physical properties and CBR values. To our knowledge, there is hardly little research in the literature investigating the topic under our investigation. Furthermore, we also mapped the physical characteristics and CBR values of numerous distinct soil samples using a Geographical Information System (GIS). This study concentrated on the West Lampung Regency, specifically the area between Bukit Kemuning in Central Lampung and Liwa in West Lampung, along the lines of Bukit Kemuning, Liwa, and Krui, all the way to the Lampung – Bengkulu province border. The soil samples from the area were taken for two tests: the unsoaked CBR test and the soaked CBR test. The results of the tests show that a 31-kilometre distance does not result in a significant difference in soil properties, which are generally similar except in clay-rich areas. Furthermore, the results of the laboratory analysis show that the amount of water in the soil sample affects the Liquid Limit (LL), Plastic Limit (PL), Maximum Dry Density (MDD), and CBR values; the lower the plastic limit value, and thus the lower the CBR value, the less water in the soil. The implications of the current findings are also discussed.

Published: January 2022

The growth of Islamic banking in Indonesia has occurred significantly, one of which is in the Metro City area, Lampung Province, Indonesia. Many consumers have moved from conventional banks to Islamic banks, even this has happened to non-Muslim consumers. This study aims to describe the factors that influence the behavior of non-Muslim consumers in Metro City, Lampung Province, Indonesia, when choosing Islamic banking services over conventional banks. This is because the understanding of non-Muslim customer switching behavior is very important, especially for Islamic banking, where the application of religious principles is contained therein. This research was conducted using a mixed method with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data collection was carried out by filling out questionnaires and interviewing 40 non-Muslim customers who became customers at Islamic Bank. Furthermore, the data were analyzed statistically using ANOVA test and Post Hoc Test to see the influence of the factors that gave the most significant influence. The results of this study indicate that the factors of price, reputation, service quality, promotion, product, location, profit, coercion, and recommendations from other customers have a significant effect on non-Muslim customers to switch to services to Islamic banks with a significance value of 0.000 at ANOVA test. Of the nine factors, recommendation factors from other customers (whether friends, relatives, or family), price, and profit are the most influencing factors.

Many papers have been published in recent years describing prospective teachers` generic and teaching skills. However, to our best knowledge, little is known about how they acquire and apply these skills in real-life situations outside of the classroom, among communities through student community service program in particular. In other words, because empirical evidence in the literature has failed to recognise the implementation of prospective teachers’ generic skills among communities, the question on this topic remains open. Therefore, our purpose was to explore and describe prospective teachers’ generic skills when taking part in a community service program. This study is qualitative in nature, with a total of 150 students consisting of 100 females (67%) and 50 males (33%) enrolled at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education in a public university in Indonesia participating by adopting a questionnaire and audio-recorded interviews for data collection. The data collected through questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the information collected through the interviews was evaluated and interpreted using content analysis through coding classification and theme or pattern identification, with the goal of providing thorough descriptive interpretations of social phenomena. The findings reveal that the prospective teachers under investigation strongly agree and agree that community service program has benefited them personally, socially, and professionally, as well as improved their generic skills. They could develop their generic skills while participating in a student community service program. The findings of this study provide clear evidence that generic skills and the development of these skills are deemed important by students enrolled at teacher training and education. Based on the findings, the implications and limitations of this present study with several suggestions for future research are also discussed.

In this paper the authors analyse the conditions of effective communication in the mentoring process. In the literature on the subject effective business communication is considered as a key to planning, leading, organizing and controlling the resources of organizations to achieve their objectives. Still, communication models in the mentoring network have not been of interest to researchers yet. The aim of this study was to identify the factors that influence the effectiveness of communication in the mentoring process. The authors created a theoretical model of communication in the mentoring process which became a basis for primary research conducted among 103 mentors and 119 mentees in Poland. It occurred that the factors influencing the effectiveness of communication in the mentoring process are similar in both groups. Next, the authors incorporated the Exploratory Factor Analysis and Cronbach’s alpha reliability test of different factors influencing the effectiveness of communication in the mentoring process. The results proved that all the developed scales demonstrated reliability above the recommended threshold. The final stage involved developing a regression model which allowed to identify the factors influencing the effectiveness of communication in the mentoring process. Those factors are: non-verbal channels and tools of communication, written and oral channels and tools of communication as well as social engagement in the mentoring process.
On Foreign Direct Investment from the ASEAN-8 Countries: A Panel Data Estimation
Authors: Suhendra Indra , Istikomah Navik , Anwar Cep Jandi
Published: January 2022

This paper examines how capital flight, loan interest rates, inflation, exchange rates and economic growth influence foreign direct investment in the ASEAN-8 countries. We apply fixed effect estimation to panel data for data belonging to eight countries from the period 1994 to 2018. The results show that capital flight and economic growth have a positive and significant effect on foreign direct investment. An increase in capital flight, capital retain from sources of funds which greater than the use of funds, has encouraged foreign direct investment to increase. Furthermore, increased economic growth has stimulated foreign direct investment. We find that an increase in loan interest rate (SIBOR), inflation and depreciation of the exchange rate triggers a significant decline in foreign direct investment. This finding implies that capital retention from capital flight and economic growth are the main factors that create an increase in foreign direct investment in the ASEAN-8 countries. Meanwhile, loan interest rates (SIBOR), inflation and depreciation of the exchange rate are the risk factors that investors need to consider when investing in those particular countries. This paper is useful for policy makers in the ASEAN-8 countries to consider these five variables, as the important factors that significantly influence foreign direct investment in the ASEAN-8 countries.
