Authors: Defary Faishal , Putri Marsista Buana
Published: January 2025

The development of a city takes place rapidly due to its attractiveness from both economic and non-economic sides. Rural conditions that are inversely proportional to urban areas drive urbanization. Natar District, part of the Bandar Lampung Metropolitan Area and adjacent to Bandar Lampung City, has undergone changes in morphological patterns. Identifying the morphology of a city area is critical for its development to avoid morphological defects or urban sprawl. This research used a deductive approach, referring to Smailes’ theory, identifying morphology using 3 components: road network patterns, land use and building patterns and densities. In 2012, the morphological pattern in Natar District was linear beaded with the Lintas Sumatra Road as a linear line and Radin Inten II Airport Area, Rejosari Station, Natar Traditional Market, and Hajimena Village as beads (morphological core). In 2022, the morphological pattern in Natar District has developed, still having beaded linear pattern, but there are an additional 2 beads as the core morphology, namely the office, trade and services areas Merak Batin and Natar Toll Exit Area. The development of Natar District is influenced by external factors such as its position adjacent to Bandar Lampung City and internal factors such as facilities and infrastructure.

Authors: Putri Winda Ayu
Published: January 2025

Gentrification is a process of socio-economic transformation in which areas previously inhabited by low-income or low-middle-income residents are gradually inhabited by higher-income residents. This research combines a case study methodology with a qualitative approach to examine the dynamics of social, economic, and physical changes in several areas affected by gentrification in Yogyakarta, such as Prawirotaman, Kotabaru, and Sosrowijayan. Through in-depth interviews, data were gathered with local residents, entrepreneurs, and government officials, as well as analysis of urban planning documents and statistical data. The results show that gentrification in Yogyakarta is triggered by number of causes, including an increase in the tourism sector, investment in property, and government policies that encourage slum revitalization. The impacts of gentrification include increased property prices, displacement of indigenous residents, changes in cultural character, and social conflicts between newcomers and longtime residents.

Authors: Makel Matthew C. , Caroleo Sarah A. , Meyer Melanie , Pei Mary A. , Fleming Jesse Irvan , Hodges Jaret , Cook Bryan , Plucker Jonathan
Published: January 2025

Both questionable (e.g., p-hacking) and open research practices (e.g., preregistration) are prevalent in education research. We sought to understand the explanations given by educational researchers for why either should or should not be used. Two teams of researchers independently analyzed open-ended survey responses from 1,488 education researchers on their feelings about questionable and open research practices. Our findings suggest that although respondents believe that questionable research practices should not be used, they conceded there are systemic reasons some use them. Similarly, although respondents generally support open practices, they noted situations in which they were not appropriate or necessary for education research. These results can serve as a catalyst for training and policy initiatives.

Carcinogenic Potential of Synthetic Food Dyes and Safer Alternatives: A Detailed Review of Risks, Mechanisms, and Natural Substitutes for the Food Industry
Authors: S Patel Kanhaiya
Published: January 2025

The growing prevalence of synthetic
food dyes in the food industry has led to concerns
regarding their long-term safety, particularly their
potential carcinogenic effects. Synthetic dyes, such
as Red 40 (Allura Red AC) and Carmoisine (E122),
have been implicated in several animal studies for
their potential to induce cancerous changes, though
human data remains inconclusive. The International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classified certain food dyes as “possibly
carcinogenic to humans” based on these findings.
This review delves into the carcinogenicity of
synthetic food dyes, providing a comprehensive
analysis of their toxicity and the mechanisms by
which they may contribute to cancer development.
Additionally, the review explores the rise of natural
alternatives to synthetic dyes, such as beetroot,
turmeric, spinach, and other plant-based colorants,
emphasizing their safety profiles and the benefits
they offer over artificial dyes. By evaluating both
the risks of synthetic colorants and the advantages
of natural dyes, this paper advocates for safer, more
sustainable practices in the food industry while
maintaining product appeal

New Approach to Regional Economic Policy in Vietnam
Authors: Trang Tran Thi Huyen , Binh Bui Thanh , Hang Nguyen Thi Thu
Published: January 2025

Regional development theory
focuses on the study of the quality of the
development structure of regional systems, based
on the theoretical analysis of institutional factors
(parameters) that determine the technological
efficiency of the regional economy. The article
aims to clarify the possibility of technological
change and economic growth shifts in a specific
regional system, especially in the context of strict
limits on rapid development, mainly focusing on
industrial regions. To achieve this goal, we build
structural models to analyze the impact of
technological factors on regional economic growth
parameters and determine the conditions for
industrial sector development. Correlation and
regression analysis methods are applied to establish
statistically significant relationships between
relevant parameters. Econometric models are used
to estimate growth parameters through control
parameters, including technological factors. The
structural aspect of regional economic growth is
measured by classifying investments into two
groups: old and new technologies. The
technological efficiency of the regional economy
can be improved by improving the results of old
technologies and promoting the adoption of new
technologies. This approach helps to refine the
regional development priority algorithm and
supports the selection of appropriate technology
development strategies. However, if resources are
only focused on the latest technologies, the
imbalance in the development of the regional
economic system can increase significantly.
Parameters related to the redirection and creation of
new resources will determine the regional growth
rate.

Simulating Neuromorphic Behavior in Memory Devices with Special Ions: Insights into Device Performance and Predictive Modeling.
Authors: Odumeru Abiola Odutayo
Published: January 2025

The development of neuromorphic
memory, which mimics the computational
processes of the brain, offers exciting prospects for
applications in advanced computing. This
studyassesses the potential of metal-ion-containing
polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) fiber as neuromorphic
memory devices. To assess the synaptic plasticity
and hysteresis characteristics of the manufactured
devices, they underwent a thorough electrical
characterization process that included currentvoltage (I-V) testing and pulse stress analysis. With
long-term depression (LTD) under negative stress
(-6V) and long-term potentiation (LTP) under
positive stress (+6V), the results showed that PVAc
+ metal-ion devices display dual-direction
plasticity. The plasticity zones showed good
adaptability in simulating neuronal learning and
forgetting mechanisms, extending up to
approximately 300 seconds for LTP and 500
seconds for LTD.These results demonstrate that
PVAc + metal-ion devices can be used in
neuromorphic applications, especially for energyefficient adaptive memory systems in robotics,
artificial neural networks, and edge computing.
Although there is promise for neuromorphic
applications with these devices, further work is
required to overcome their sensitivity to external
factors. This work opens the door for future
neuromorphic systems and provides important
insights into device performance.

Authors: Young Shang Yi , Zainol Abidin Zahimi
Published: January 2025

The success of an organization greatly depends on having a highly motivated and committed workforce. A key factor influencing employee motivation and work commitment is the level of managerial support provided by supervisors and upper management. This study investigates the effects of superior support on building motivation and work commitment among employees in the Malaysian context. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. A survey was conducted with 345 employees across various industries in Malaysia to measure the relationship between superior support, employee motivation, and work commitment. This was complemented by in-depth interviews with 10 managers to gain deeper insights into how higher levels of support influence employee attitudes and behaviors. The findings reveal that superior support, encompassing both instrumental and emotional support, has a significant positive impact on employee motivation and commitment. Employees who perceive higher levels of support from their superiors tend to exhibit greater intrinsic motivation, as well as stronger affective and normative commitment to the organization. Qualitative data provides evidence that superior support fosters a sense of value and belonging among employees, which, in turn, strengthens their dedication and willingness to exert effort. This study contributes to the literature on human resource management and organizational behavior by elucidating the critical role of leadership support in shaping a motivated and committed workforce, particularly within the Malaysian cultural context. The results offer practical insights for managers and policymakers on strategies to enhance employee motivation and retention through the provision of superior support. Future research directions and study limitations are also discussed.

Authors: Mohamad Soad Fatini Aqilah , Asbulah Lily Hanefarezan , Hj. Ahmad Suhaila Zailani
Published: January 2025

In the context of globalization and the increasing demand for halal products, the challenge of producing consistent and culturally appropriate translations emerges as a critical issue in this study. Inaccuracies in translation can lead to errors or misunderstandings about the halal status of products, particularly when specific terms lack direct equivalents in Arabic or when the intended meaning is distorted through translation. Accurate translation is, therefore, essential to ensure compliance with halal standards and to build consumer trust. This study aims to identify the role of Arabic translation in ensuring compliance with halal standards in the labelling of products produced by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, it seeks to analyze the challenges faced by SMEs in ensuring the accuracy of Arabic translations on halal product labels. The study employs a qualitative approach, with a literature review as the primary method. Sources include journals, articles, and documents related to halal labelling and Arabic translation. Data analysis was conducted by examining key themes and concepts related to the use of translations in halal product labelling, providing a comprehensive understanding of the role and challenges faced by SMEs in ensuring the accuracy of Arabic translations on halal product labels. The findings reveal that Arabic translation on halal product labelling plays a vital role in building trust among Muslim consumers and ensuring compliance with international halal standards. However, challenges exist in maintaining translation accuracy and cultural relevance, as well as navigating the variations in halal labelling regulations across international markets.

The increasing integration of online training into the labour force has transformed traditional workforce development strategies, offering flexible and scalable solutions to skill enhancement. However, the rapid proliferation of research in this field necessitates a comprehensive analysis to discern patterns, trends, and gaps. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of online training in the labour force, utilising data sourced from the Scopus database. A total of 1,042 records were retrieved and analysed using Scopus Analyzer and VOSviewer software. The analysis aimed to uncover publication trends, prominent authors, key journals, influential institutions, and core thematic areas. Methodologically, the study adhered to bibliometric protocols, employing citation mapping, co-authorship networks, and thematic clustering. Key findings revealed an exponential publication growth over recent years, with significant contributions from North America and Europe. VOSviewer analysis highlighted major thematic areas such as e-learning technologies, workforce productivity, and the role of digital tools in skill development. The study also identified a concentration of research in a limited number of high-impact journals, underscoring the dominance of established platforms in disseminating knowledge. Despite these advancements, the findings highlight gaps in empirical studies focusing on developing regions and sector-specific applications. This bibliometric analysis contributes to understanding the evolving landscape of online training in the labour force, providing valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners aiming to address existing challenges and leverage future opportunities in this dynamic domain.

Authors: Mohammad Harun Siti Intan Dahlia , Mohamed Mohd Faisal
Published: January 2025

Rasm al-Quran is an important method of Quranic scriptwriting that ensures the authenticity of the text since the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). However, the teaching of this discipline in higher education institutions faces several challenges. Key issues include the lack of comprehensive reference materials, confusion between Rasm, Dabt al-Quran, and their connection with Qiraat, as well as the students' weak mastery of the Arabic language. This study aims to identify the main challenges in teaching Rasm al-Quran and to propose strategies for improving teaching effectiveness. The study employs a qualitative methodology by conducting interviews with four lecturers representing the Eastern, Southern, East Malaysia, and Central regions. The findings reveal that weak Arabic proficiency, limited use of technology in the teaching process, and the lack of accessible and easy-to-understand reference materials are the primary obstacles hindering effective learning. Based on these findings, the study recommends enhancing Arabic language instruction, developing more user-friendly reference materials, and expanding the use of technology in the learning process. With the implementation of these strategies, the quality of Rasm al-Quran education is expected to improve, thereby preserving the authenticity of the Quranic text and facilitating deeper understanding for future generations.

Published: January 2025

The Reading and Writing classroom introduces a digital storytelling project to engage students in meaningful learning experiences. Digital storytelling integrates multimedia elements such as images, audio, and video with narrative structures, offering an engaging and interactive approach to language learning. By immersing English as a Second Language (ESL) learners in rich, contextually relevant stories, digital storytelling can cater to diverse learning styles and promote a deeper understanding of textual content. This study investigated students' perceptions of digital storytelling projects and their potential impact on reading and critical thinking skills in Reading and Writing classrooms. This preliminary study involved 64 first-year ESL students from Universiti Malaysia Sabah Labuan International Campus. The data gathered from the study were taken through a mixed-method approach, combining questionnaires and qualitative feedback from the participants. The data analysis revealed that students generally had positive perceptions of the project, with most participants agreeing that the digital storytelling project enhanced their reading comprehension, critical thinking, and creativity. The study suggests that digital storytelling can be a valuable tool for developing reading skills and higher-order thinking in ESL learners. Future research is needed to explore digital storytelling projects' long-term effects on reading and critical skills.

Published: January 2025

The article aims to examine the relationship between the use of longhouses and adjacent fenced areas at the Linear Pottery culture (LBK) settlement in Hostivice-Sadová. The analysis focuses on house no. 1 and 15 and the rectangular fenced areas defined mainly by single posts that were excavated next to their eastern walls. The study includes representative pottery assemblages from settlement features and construction pits dated to the two subsequent phases in the middle stage of LBK. Formation processes and the proportion of decoration style were analysed in combination with radiocarbon dating. The article also addresses whether fenced areas were later used as refuse disposal spaces. The results show that the fills of the features in the fenced areas were deposited later than the house unit assemblages were formed. In both cases, there is no significant evidence of using fenced areas later for waste disposal. Additionally, the social and economic aspects of these houses are discussed as the construction, length, fenced areas, and concentration of finds indicate their important social and economic role within the settlement.
