Enhancing Pre-Schoolers’ Learning Motivation in Jawi Subject Through Game-Based Learning Application
Authors: Mohd Rashid Noor Asmina , Md Noor Norah
Published: September 2023

Game-based learning applications are becoming increasingly popular as an effective means of enhancing student motivation to learn. Jawi, a subject often viewed as uninteresting by students, has decreased motivation to learn due to a lack of technology resources. To address this issue, the "Dunia Jawi" mobile application was developed as a game-based platform to improve preschoolers' motivation to learn Jawi. In this study, student motivation was measured based on the ARCS model, which consists of four components: attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction. The study involved a pre-experimental group of 32 preschoolers evaluated using the pretest-posttest design. The results found an increment in preschoolers' motivation, where the mean for the posttest ( 43.50) was higher than the mean for the pretest ( 31.47). The increment was statistically significant, indicating that the use of the "Dunia Jawi" mobile application led to a significant increase in motivation to learn Jawi among preschoolers. Moreover, each ARCS component showed an increment in attention, confidence, and satisfaction. The attention component refers to capturing students' interest and encouraging them to focus on the learning material. The confidence component refers to the student's belief in their ability to learn the material. The satisfaction component refers to the student's enjoyment of the learning experience. The results indicate that game-based learning applications, such as "Dunia Jawi," can enhance each component, thereby increasing student learning motivation. The relevance component, which deals with how the students view the value of the learning content, did not, however, experience any appreciable shift. The "Dunia Jawi" mobile application may not have had as much of an influence on this component as it could have because the preschoolers may not have seen the content as being applicable to their everyday lives. In conclusion, this study proves that game-based learning applications, coupled with the ARCS model, can enhance preschoolers' motivation to learn Jawi. The results demonstrate that the "Dunia Jawi" mobile application effectively increased preschoolers' motivation to learn Jawi, particularly in the attention, confidence, and satisfaction components. Future studies could explore ways to increase the learning material's relevance to further enhance preschoolers' motivation to learn.

Published: September 2023

A well-discussed problem is how to attract a new public to computer programming, and especially how to reach girls and women. At the same time research reports on that children spend considerable amounts of time playing different types of games, where educational games today are part of formal, informal and non-formal learning. However, many educational games still have a design that appeals more to boys than to girls. Another problem addressed in this paper is how to measure the learning outcomes of an education game. It is a challenge per se to design for joyful gaming, but to assess the learning outcomes is important if the game should be accepted by teachers and a part of teaching and learning activities. The aim of this study was to describe and discuss the design and development of an educational game where girls would like to play together and at the same time learn fundamental programming. The research question that guided this study was: " How could a motivating and inclusive educational game on fundamental programming be designed and developed, with minimal prerequisites for students and teachers?". The overall strategy for the design and development of the was the Design Science Research (DSR) approach. This work was carried out according to the recognised DSR process with the five phases of: 1) Explicating the problem, 2) Defining the requirements, 3) Designing and developing the artefact, 4) Demonstrating the artefact, and 5) Evaluating the artefact. Phase one was based on a minor literature study, while Phase 2 was a combination of a larger and more systematic literature study combined with game testing. Phase 3 was conducted with brain storming sessions for design followed by implementation in the Unity game development tool. Finally, the game has been demonstrated for, and tested by, a group of academic game developers. Results from the formative evaluation look promising, but the important next step in this project is a more formal evaluation using game-based learning analytics with a larger and more diverse test audience.
Confidence in Movement-Based Game Design Facilitation: Learning From a Novice Design Facilitator
Authors: Schjødt Rasmussen Lærke , Wolfgang Philip , Kaos Maximus , Elbæk Lars
Published: September 2023

Several movement-based and embodied design methods have been developed to supplement existing game design methods. Facilitating movement-based design methods is a practice that most game designers must master. Facilitation involves taking on several responsibilities and roles to ensure processes and activities follow the design project's principal values. For instance, the facilitator must possess design expertise and social awareness, be a direction setter and trust builder, facilitate stage engagement and mood, energise for commitment, and maintain a playful attitude. The many responsibilities and significant involvement will inevitably affect the facilitator, who enters an affective state facilitating the design activities. Through a phenomenological comparative analysis, this study explores how novice versus experienced facilitators perceive the emotion of confidence and its implications on the facilitation process. This analysis is based on a single case study of a two-day movement-based sports innovation camp for 80 K-12 high school students. Empirical data were generated using a combination of observations and interviews with seven of the involved facilitators: three experienced facilitators and four novice facilitators. Our research indicates that facilitation can be categorised into three stages focused on (1) Structure, (2) Process, and (3) Content. Reaching the Content stages requires a high bodily involvement closely linked to the facilitator’s confidence level, which we partially interpret as determined by the courage to use one’s body as a facilitation resource. Thus, the facilitation Process depends not only on the facilitator's level of expertise but also on confidence level and courage. Consequently, we recommend thorough preparation for each facilitation stage to support the facilitator's confidence. Structure: Outline a detailed playbook, organise the physical space and prepare necessary materials. Process: Prepare strategies for providing guidance and feedback. Content: Implement Movement-Modifiers and participate in warm-up activities.

Published: September 2023

Solid waste generation has increased significantly as a result of increasing population and living standards. In this context, variables such as waste classification, amount produced, collection and transportation status, disposal method, socioeconomic status of the region include important stages in system planning. It is important to optimize these variables, waste collection route, time, cost, environmental impacts and examine the current situation. The cost of collection and processing accounts for roughly 65-80% of the total cost of the solid waste management system managed by local governments. Therefore, by optimization studies, the trash collection-transport route can significantly reduce this rate. Depreciation and fuel expenditures can be significantly reduced as a result of improvements in operational costs. Denizciler neighborhood was selected as an example of all district characteristics within the study's scope when the socio-economic, demographic, and topographic conditions of the Iskenderun district of Hatay province were evaluated. The ESRI ARCGIS software's tools have been used to test the optimization path. A 421-meter shorter route was discovered using network analysis. Considering the current route, which is 14340 meters long, a 3% improvement has been achieved with the analysis made. Garbage collection was done using the newly developed route in the study's final section. As a result, the viability of the network analysis enhancement has been evaluated in practice, and it has been discovered that time and fuel savings are realized in terms of cost.

Published: September 2023

Sustainable Development Goal 4 aims to achieve good quality education and in order to achieve SDG 4, it is very crucial for English as Second Language tertiary learners to have strong English language competency. Verbal communication ability is highly related to English language competency. Learners must possess effective verbal communication skills in order to acquire good employment and carry out their job duties effectively at workplaces (Sathiyaperba et al., 2021). However, lack of verbal communication particularly less interaction between the learners has become a grave concern (Fariza Puteh et al., 2019; Janitha, 2021; Ting et al., 2017). Several scholars have sought to solve the verbal communication problems among ESL tertiary learners through face-to-face approaches and online approaches. Face to face approaches have been criticized by previous scholars due to learners have less responsibility for their learning (Alsaaty et al., 2016; Mongwaketse, 2018). ESL learners' verbal communication problem also has been extensively researched using online strategies like gamification and mobile integrated approaches. Nevertheless, face to face or online approach alone could not help to enhance ESL learners' verbal communication problem particularly learner-learner interaction. The 9th shift of Malaysian Education Blueprint emphasizes on technology integration in teaching and learning (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 2015). Thus, blended learning approach has been widely applied in tertiary institutions including in ESL classrooms. However, learners complain about the challenges they face during verbal communication learning in blended environment. Hence, the aim of this study is to explore ESL students' qualitative insights on learner-to-learner interaction in a blended environment.

The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred from 2019 to 2020 has caused extraordinary social and economic problems. All societies around the world are faced with emergency situations, and many are confused about implementing various precautions to deal with the situation. Mitigating the COVID 19 pandemic requires active involvement and support from various parties, both from the community, government and the private sector. The social role of various parties is urgently needed to tackle the pandemic. This includes companies taking an important role in initiating activities that have a positive impact on people's lives, and as a form of implementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as an expression of organizational sustainability. As a consequence, companies are expected to be able to address urgent issues that endanger life on Earth, such as hunger, inequality and climate change. This raises an interesting question whether companies still have a commitment to carry out social responsibility during a pandemic. This study aims to explore corporate social responsibility obligations during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Two-Stage Dea Model of Super Sbm and Malmquist for Analyzing Innovation and Energy Sustainability Efficiency of Asian Countries
Authors: Nguyen Phi-Hung , Le Hong-Quan , Nguyen Hoang-Anh , Pham Chi-Vinh
Published: September 2023

The relationship between innovation and energy sustainability is deeply interconnected, as innovation plays a crucial role in achieving long-term solutions for energy challenges. Innovation involves the introduction of new concepts, products, or techniques that drive economic progress and enhance quality of life. On the other hand, energy sustainability focuses on ensuring the availability of cost-effective and reliable energy resources while mitigating environmental impacts. In Asia, the most populous and diverse region in the world, the correlation between innovation and energy sustainability holds significant importance. The region faces the complex task of balancing rapid economic growth and urbanization with the imperative to adopt sustainable energy practices. To assess performance and identify best practices, two key global indicators, namely the Global Innovation Index (GII) and the Energy Trilemma Index (ETI), can provide valuable benchmarks. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of innovation and energy sustainability among 32 Asian countries using a two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model that incorporates the Super Slacks-based Measure (Super SBM) and Malmquist approaches. Additionally, hierarchical cluster analysis will be applied to group these countries based on their efficiency scores. By examining efficiency levels, influential factors, and the impact of the innovation-energy sustainability relationship on economic growth, this research can assist policymakers in making informed decisions. Furthermore, this study seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by conducting a comprehensive investigation into the relationship between innovation and energy sustainability in the Asian region.

Environmental Awareness of Enterprises through Their Disclosure Magnitude: UK and US Evidence
Authors: Eakpisankit Araya
Published: October 2023

In the absence of a validly mandatory public policy and a meaningful conceptual framework, corporate environmental disclosure practices have been diverse (Matthews, 1993). In other words, the lack of a single generally accepted standard in which environmental reports can be developed, akin to that of financial reporting principles, is one of the reasons for this undoubted dissimilarity in environmental reporting practices. However, there are imperative requirements relating to environmental information disclosure in many developed countries, for example, environmental related information is required in the Business Review in accordance with s.417 of the Act (Great Britain. Companies Act 2006) in the UK and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has developed rules governing disclosure of environmental liabilities, in relation to Items 101, 103, 303 and 503(c) in SEC Regulation S-K (SEC, 2008). The former is rather vague as it is not underpinned by a robust speculative structure, whereas the latter has only focussed on the disclosure of financial information that is environmentally related despite the non-financial nature of predominant environmental information. In response to these, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) has very recently issued the foundational standards, which are IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, to steer corporate sustainability-related disclosures worldwide. The former inaugurally provide general conceptual foundations and the latter has primarily pointed on climate risks and opportunities. The other dimensions are forsaken to line up sometimes in the future.

How do Employee Green Behaviour, and Green HRM affect Environmental Performance? The Role of Green Innovation and Moral Credit
Authors: Ismail Fadillah , Imran Muhammad
Published: October 2023

At this time, there has been an increasing emphasis devoted to the actions and behaviour of employees at their places of employment as a major factor of environmental issues. Because of this, organizations are starting to implement a wide variety of programs aimed at protecting the environment and implementing green approaches. Moreover, the factors that determine employees' green behaviour (EGB) and green human resource management (GHRM) still need further exploration. The current study gives an understanding by exploring the factors that influence green innovation (GI) and the environmental performance of organizations (OEP). This study data was acquired from 545 employees working in Malaysia's manufacturing sector using the quantitative research approach, and further, it was examined using PLS-SEM. In addition, it was determined that EGB, GHRM, and GI all had a significant positive relationship with OEP. It is important to note that (GI) also acts as a mediator in the interaction between EGB, GHRM, and OEP. Moreover, the association between GI and OEP has been investigated with moral credit serving as a moderator, and the findings confirmed the positive association. Looking at these relationships with OEP and GI to assess their mediation effects is a unique element of this study that significantly contributes to the existing body of research on EGB and GHRM. Furthermore, it provides directions for decision-makers on optimizing green employee behaviour and human resource management in their workplaces, ultimately leading to green innovation to improve organizational environmental performance.

Keywords: Employee green behaviour; green human resource management; green innovation; moral credit; organizational environmental performance.
Women-Owned MSMEs: How Financial Literacy Moderate the Association Between Fintech and Financial Performance?
Authors: Candraningrat Ica Rika , Puspa Astari Ni Putu Rika , Kezia Dewi Putu Ayu
Published: October 2023

Financial performance plays a central role in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) management system and has implied MSMEs' financial health (Jubaedah and Destina, 2016; Orobia et al., 2020). Indonesian MSMEs have contributed 61,97 percent to GDP (Growth Domestic Product) in 2020 including women and man-owned MSMEs. Women entrepreneurs have an important role in national economies worldwide, contributing to employment, value-added, and also to innovation. They contribute over half the GDP of the most advanced and emerging economies (Sajuyigbe, et al., 2021). Furthermore, women-owned MSMEs in Indonesia can contribute at least 64 percent to GDP in 2021. The amount of woman-owned MSMEs also increases to 114 percent in 2021 (Indonesia.go.id). Women-owned MSMEs need to transform from traditional to digital to reach more consumers (Hasan et al., 2021). As stated before, innovation, digital transformation, and technology are in line with one of the digital platforms, namely financial technology (fintech). Previous studies from Leong and Sung (2018) state that fintech can create new value for businesses including MSMEs. Darma et al. (2020) state that fintech has a positive integration in supporting MSMEs' financial performance, especially in capital lending. Hamidah et al. (2020) also state that fintech positively and significantly affects MSMEs' financial performance.

Application of Dsge Models for the Analysis of Latvian Economic Processes
Authors: Hilkevics Sergejs , Semakina Valentina
Published: October 2023

Nowadays DSGE models are the mainstream of macroeconomic theory. DSGE stands for dynamic, stochastic, general equilibrium and the main purpose of these models is to perform the analysis of business cycle fluctuations and economic policy. The main advantage of DSGE models is related to their theoretical foundations – the dynamics of economic processes is described as interaction of rational optimizing agents, which react to "exogenous stochastic disturbances" (shocks). These advantage of DSGE models helps to analyse both economic processes on the aggregated level and individual markets under the circumstances of uncertainty. Historically, DSGE models have gone through several stages of development. The origins of DSGE models are related to Lucas critique – a series of papers, which presented a new approach of macroeconomic processes analysis. This approach was rather controversial with Keynesian theory. In the terms of R. Lucas, macroeconomic models must be based on microfoundations and consider expected variables, because the consideration of expectations in macroeconomic models best describes "the real economic situation" and makes these models suitable for economic policy development and analysis. The first DSGE models were basically RBC (Real Business Cycle) models, but their main drawback was assumption of neutrality of money, which made them not suitable for monetary policy analysis. Later DSGE models correct this drawback – contemporary DSGE models are used for various purposes, for instance, fiscal and monetary policy analysis.

Published: October 2023

Solid waste is a significant issue worldwide, and it is concerned by many countries worldwide. Local government has a substantial role in managing solid waste. Solid waste is increasing yearly because of several causes, such as the rapidly rising population and the massive city's expansion into suburban areas. The Municipal takes responsibility to collect and dispose of the solid waste in their responsible area. This article aims to forecast solid waste in the future using four methods: static methods, exponential smoothing, Holt's model, and Winter's model. Then, compare all methods to find the optimal ones with the most accurate forecasting. By determining the criteria, the forecast error measures are the absolute deviation (MAD) and the mean of the absolute percentage error (MAPE), which have a minimum error. One of the other purposes is to develop an optimization route that provides the possibility of decreasing distances and reducing transportation expenses. Typically, the most common methods are the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) to solve the problems. This article will use two algorithms for two steps. The first step is to set the routes with the nearest neighbor heuristic (NN) to generate the routes MSW from point to point until all are reached and return to the origin point. In the second step, improve the routes by using the 2-Opt heuristic. The results found that the 2-Opt can decrease transportation distances, which is optimal and saves costs. In addition to that, it can make process management more effective.

Governments have prioritized Industry 4.0, implementing large-scale policies to enhance productivity, competitiveness, and workforce skills. However, understanding the complex process of policy change poses difficulties in driving necessary transformations. This research introduces the Kaleidoscope Model, which offers a roadmap for policymakers to perform effective changes with the moderating effect – challenges faced. The study employs document analysis and semi-structured interviews for qualitative data through content analysis. Results highlight that Policy Adoption and Policy Implementation notably influence the evaluation of the Construction 4.0 policy's effectiveness. Interestingly, the final model doesn't show a clear link between the Kaleidoscope Model and policy evaluation due to moderating effects. This research expands political science by aiding the implementation of the Construction 4.0 policy, providing guidelines for policymakers and construction stakeholders. By embracing advanced technologies, the construction industry's dynamics are transformed to align with the goals of the policy.

Nowadays, a country's growth and progress rely significantly on the supply chain, which is essential to the economy (Asia Perspective, 2023). The growth of the global economy, particularly during periods of industrialization and modernization, necessitates diversifying transportation methods. The easier the circulation and exchange of goods, the more vital transportation services become. Container shipping is a fundamental mode of transportation in global trade among the various options available. Container shipping is vital in connecting global markets and facilitating international trade. It enables nations and businesses to improve the efficiency and reliability of their supply chains. The invention of the container has been a pivotal advancement in response to the needs of a globalized economy. Adopting containerization has enhanced loading and unloading productivity, resulting in faster and more cost-effective transportation of goods (Papa, 2013).

SMEs employ almost two-thirds of the labour force in the nation, provide income for the government through income taxation, and provide income for households through taxes, profits, and salaries. According to the World Bank's classification of countries, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines are examples of emerging countries that rely on SMEs for economic development (Mintah, Gabir, Aloo and Ofori (2022). These nations are also subject to a variety of natural catastrophes, which have an impact on all businesses, including SMEs. In December 2021, approximately 50,000 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in several districts in Selangor were affected by the worst flood disaster. The losses include damage to the premises, machinery, business records and information, destruction of raw materials and final products due to water inundation, and the expected closure of operations (Auzzir, Haigh and Amaratunga, 2018). As a result, SMEs must be encouraged to keep accurate records for them to survive and expand.

Organisations attempt to maintain the balance between personal friendships and professional relationships. Proof of this is how organisations assert the importance of team-building activities that it has become a regular in the annual plan of big and small corporations alike. The goals – promote camaraderie and create more friendships in the workplace. Yet, organisations also worry that employees will be too close that work matters will be disrupted, interactions will be less professional, and conflicts of interest will arise. The spectrum of friendships spans from initial acquaintances to close and best friends that weave human interactions (Hojjat & Moyer, 2017; Morales, 2022, Sias & Cahill, 1998). This involves shared respect, genuine regard, and reciprocal exchanges that grow as the bond between individuals strengthens. In the workplace, friendships go beyond social connections, fostering support and a deeper sense of belonging (Dietz & Fasbender, 2022; Morales, 2022).

Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is made to protect vital records and avoiding the disturbance of business activity. A proper plan may also minimize the effects The Business Continuity Management (BCM) requires a comprehensive, holistic, and integrated approach. The Information Technology (IT) dimensions in an organisation are not the only components and factors for business continuity's success. Other non-IT factors are involved that may be crucial for business continuity such as people, physical premises, the supply chain, etc. In other words, we consider the role of records management in achieving the greater availability of vital records, hence enhancing business continuity. A documented and established vital records programme in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is crucial for safeguarding and the recovery of business records. To be successful, BCM must fully incorporated across the entire organisation as a crucial management process. Although there are many studies focused on business continuity plan and the benefits of its implementation, there were still insufficient number of current researchers who reviewed systematically the existing study that focus on SMEs. Therefore, the outcome of this study will contribute to future studies of business continuity planning and the records management aspects in SMEs.

Determinants of tax evasion: Empirical evidence from Libya

The issue of tax evasion has always presented a challenge to policymakers in governments all over the world. A developing country's economic stability is almost entirely reliant on taxes and aid from other nations. Effective tax collection and capable tax administration are necessary to generate a sufficient amount of tax revenue. It would be possible to lessen the negative effects brought on by a decrease in tax revenue if governments in both developing and developed nations could better understand the factors that contribute to tax evasion and find effective ways to combat those factors. Numerous economic factors that affect tax evasion behavior have been mentioned in prior literature. However, research on the impact of tax evasion behavior in the Libyan context is lacking. Given this context, the current study, which empirically investigates the effect of education level, tax rate, and penalty rate on tax evasion behavior among self-employed taxpayers in Libya, will likely aid in shedding lighter on the causes of tax evasion. The data is gathered quantitatively by using a questionnaire. This study made use of the SPSS statistical package for social sciences. A framework for the proposed relationship between tax amnesty, educational attainment, tax and penalty rates, and tax evasion among self-employed taxpayers is what this study aims to achieve. The current study adds to the body of theoretical knowledge by highlighting the influences on the relationship between economic factors and tax evasion in Libya.

This research was motivated by data from the Indonesian Entrepreneurs Association (IWAPI), which revealed a significant majority of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs (98%) among its 30,000 members. Previous studies on women entrepreneurs' performance had limitations regarding variables and sectors considered. Therefore, this study analyzed various factors and sectors that impacted women entrepreneurs in the Jabodetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi) region. This study is quantitative research on 246 respondents and was analyzed by SmartPLS Software. The study found that while leadership had some influence on innovative work behavior and women entrepreneurs' performance, the significance was limited. Additionally, training and development significantly impacted both innovative work behavior and women entrepreneurs' performance, with the latter being mediated by the former. Ultimately, innovative work behavior significantly influenced women entrepreneurs' performance.
