Authors:   Department of Building Economics, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, Lunuvila H.L.J.M. , Kulatunga U
Published: December 2022

A disaster is known as an unexpected hazardous event that impacts the communities through extensive damage, disruption and potential fatalities, which makes the affected communities seek external assistance to recover from the impact. Post-Disaster Resettlement (PDR) has been identified as a good option to convert the destructive zone into a sustainable society with long term developmental guidance. PDR projects can be defined as a complex process that deals with uncertainty and change the facility partially or entirely by replacement. The success of PDR programmes highly influences the mitigation and preparedness phases of the next disaster. Currently, PDR projects in Sri Lanka are not at the required success level due to different types of social and economic challenges. This study, therefore, aimed to identify and develop suitable post-disaster resettlement strategies for the successful development of PDR projects in Sri Lanka. A qualitative research stance was used for the proposed research as it requires in-depth inquiry into the PDR strategies. The research developed twelve strategies to succeed with PDR projects in Sri Lanka. The required knowledge sharing among parties of the PDR project, and using disaster-affected communities for managing and controlling of the PDR project are the main key strategies. The study highlighted the importance of PDR strategies to Sri Lanka, factors considered when developing PDR strategies, the shortcomings that have been witnessed in past PDR projects, and the possible ways of developing appropriate PDR strategies for Sri Lanka. Further, the study identified the levels that each strategy must implement in the resettlement process.

Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati, India, Thounaojam N , Devkar G , Laishram B
Published: December 2022

The need for sustainable practices in megaproject implementation is becoming acute. With the ongoing progress and expansion of mega infrastructure projects (MIPs), a lot of attention has been attracted among policymakers and researchers due to their enormous impacts on the economy, society, and the environment. Given the complexity of MIPs and the sustainability-related challenges it faces; the successful management of sustainability-related targets requires influence from the institutional forces (regulative, normative and cultural-cognitive). However, existing research on the institutional drivers that can effectively promote the sustainability of megaprojects has been largely unexplored and calls for attention. Therefore, this study aims to present a review of what drives the adoption of sustainable practices in MIPs. A systematic literature review was conducted based on a combination of keyword search in the Scopus database. Using the lens of institutional theory and deductive approach, 11 drivers for sustainability in MIPs were identified from reviewing 33 selected peer-reviewed articles. This study would enhance project stakeholders’ and policymakers’ understanding of drivers for sustainability and help further improve policies, strategies, norms and culture to support MIPs in contributing to sustainable development goals.

Published: December 2022

Green walls are becoming an interesting solution to address the potential issues due to loss of greenery in the urban built environment. Even though green walls offer numerous benefits, the application pace of this concept seems slow in many parts of the world including Sri Lanka, which could be primarily due to the perception that the construction of green walls may involve additional costs compared to conventional walls and due to lack of awareness of its performance. This has driven the recent researchers to investigate the economic performance of green walls. However, those studies are limited to given local contexts, thus, the knowledge is scattered. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the economic performance of green walls in the global context collectively using a systematic review towards understanding the differences. Filtering the search for the period of 2010 to 2022 offered 15 out of 103 research articles suitable for the analysis. The cost data extracted shows high variability related to different characteristics of green walls, building envelopes, and climatic conditions. According to the review, the maintenance stage accounts for the highest portion of the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) in any type of green wall. The direct green façade is the cheapest option with lowest LCC compared to the indirect and living wall types while the living wall is the expensive type due to presence of more components. The review further confirms that in most instances, the economic benefits of green walls; increase property value, façade longevity, tax incentives, and energy-saving tend to offset the cost of green walls. It is expected that this collective review outcome would better guide the decision-making process of green wall implementation in a given context.

Authors:   Freelance Quantity Surveyor, Sri Lanka, Namarathna C.P. , Gunarathna N
Published: December 2022

COVID-19 is a global pandemic that has wreaked havoc on the lives of many individuals and has had a severe impact on the global economy. During this crisis, small and medium-scale businesses suffer the most and are the least prepared among all companies as per the previous studies done in other parts of the world. The majority of the small-scale construction firms in Sri Lanka act as subcontractors and generate job opportunities for a considerable number of people and are able to create a multiplier effect on the whole economy. However, it was observed that they are more vulnerable to the adverse impact of the pandemic. Thus, the principal goal of this research is to explore possible survival strategies to overcome critical financial issues of small-scale construction companies during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Sri Lanka. A mixedmethod approach was adopted to gather the data for the study. A comprehensive literature review was carried out to identify the impact of COVID-19 on both global and local construction industries. The data for this study was gathered using semi-structured interviews and a comprehensive questionnaire survey with small scale construction company owners and construction industry professionals. The findings highlighted the key financial issues faced by the small-scale construction companies due to the pandemic including delays in client payments, supply chain management issues, frequent price escalation of construction materials, and inability to repay loans. The respondents suggested creating partnerships with financially strong companies, reduction of unwanted expenses, modifying supply chain channels and agreements, and ensuring business continuity plans as the strategies to be used to overcome the financial burden that occurred due to the pandemic.

Authors:   Department of Building Economics, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, Karunarathna T.A.D.C.D. , Sridarran P , Gowsiga M
Published: December 2022

The rapid increase in population and urbanisation has led to an increase in per capita consumption and the generation of waste. Thus, the need of having improved management strategies for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) has aroused. Waste to Energy (WtE) was a concept that came up as a solution for waste management and as an ideal solution for energy crises as well. WtE is a process of generating energy mainly in terms of electricity and heat by giving MSW as the input where it will become the fuel for this process. Most countries like Denmark, England, Australia, etc. use this as a successful Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) strategy and as a sustainable energy producing mechanism too. But, in Sri Lankan WtE has become unsuccessful in many instances due to the influence of barriers to implementing WtE mega-scale projects. Thus, this study aims to explore existing barriers in light of expanding WtE projects in Sri Lanka. In addition, it proposes strategies to mitigate those barriers. Data was collected through expert interviews and manual content analysis was used for data analysis. Some identified key barriers and strategies in the frame of political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental are lack of having government infrastructure, high initial investments, social burdens, lack of technical knowledge on WtE, disposal of bottom and fly ash as barriers and providing infrastructure by the government, introducing debt financing, social awareness, getting foreign technical experts, using bottom ash and fly ash to produce some necessary bi-products as strategies.

Published: December 2022

Risk management is an essential process for the successful execution of the project, and it is pertinent in achieving the project objectives and leading to its successful outcome. The nature of the construction industry, which is full of uncertainty and high capital investment, makes it notably more critical to address and manage the risks promptly. The most important part of the risk management process is identifying and assessing risks. However, the traditional Probability (P)-Impact (I) matrix used in their evaluation fails to account for the uncertainties witnessed in the determination of both P and I. This paper, therefore, uses a fuzzy approach to develop a risk assessment model. Further, the results of the generated model are compared with the conventional P-I matrix to show the effectiveness of the adopted fuzzy system. The data for the model development was collected from one of the metro-rail projects through a questionnaire. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were conducted to identify the advantages of BIM in the project. The recognized BIM advantages were then correlated with the critical project risks to present it as the process for mitigating these risks. The study findings present the use of FIS to overcome the uncertainty in the risk management process, followed by the applicability of BIM as a risk mitigation tool. Establishing the role of BIM in the risk mitigation process can help in its wider acceptance in the construction industry.

Authors:   Faculty of Engineering & Construction, International College of Business and Technology, Sri Lanka, Kajendran K
Published: December 2022

For the success of a construction project, the selection of the most suitable contractor is vital. The process of selecting the most suitable contractor is called tendering. Unexceptional to other industries, the construction industry all over the world is also being urged to move to advanced information technologies to compete in the global market. Addressing globalization along with the introduction of Building Information Modelling (BIM), it becomes crucial for the tendering process to move from traditional to electronic tendering (e-tendering). This study identifies the application of e-tendering in different countries and the outcomes and readiness of Sri Lanka to accept e-tender through an extant literature review. It was concluded that e-tendering benefits through high transparency and accountability, less corruption, less cost, time and paperwork, and easy evaluation of submitted tenders if rightly implemented addressing the challenges such as legal and security issues, resistance to change, less investment in Information Technology, unawareness of the process of e-tendering and non-identical software and formats. Further, considering Sri Lanka’s readiness in adopting etendering, the country’s government has considerably progressed towards e-government but not has been fully implemented. This study would be beneficial for the government and private clients who are willing to practice e-tendering.

Published: December 2022

On-time completion is one of the most important criteria for recent successful construction projects. High-rise building projects face significant risks and time constraints due to the complexity and dynamic nature of their environments. Demand for high rise buildings has been fuelled by economic advancements, rapid suburbanization, and increased consumer spending in Sri Lanka. High-rise building developments require a large amount of funding, permissions and procedures, advanced construction methods, and collaboration between many project participants. Delays have been observed regularly in high-rise buildings, yet studies on factors affecting construction time performance (CTP) are scarce in the Sri Lankan context. Therefore, this study focused on the factors affecting CTP in high-rise building projects in Sri Lanka. If the factors were identified at early stages, they could be minimised or even mitigated and the chance of future occurrences can be minimised. The study used a qualitative approach. Factors affecting CTP were identified through the literature review. The required data were collected from a series of semi-structured interviews identified from purposive sampling. The data were analysed using manual content analysis and validated for high-rise building projects using semi-structured interviews. Fifty-four factors were identified under six categories, including owner, contractor, consultant, contract, contractual relationships and external factors. New additional factor mismatches between the design and budgets are identified. Further, interviewees endorsed 49 factors that were considered as factors that significantly affect CTP. The study would help raise awareness to improve CTP in high-rise building projects.

Published: December 2022

Risk-sensitive urban development is an innovative planning approach that can transform the way cities are built in order to face the uncertainties that arise from climate-induced disaster risks. There are many actions taken by individuals, households, communities, urban development companies and relevant regulatory bodies to manage the risk through the risk sensitive urban development methods. However, there is a disconnection between the existing urban development projects and urban risk management process. Therefore, urban developers and disaster risk managers should understand each other and collaborate in order to provide a solution for this disconnection. In this regard, identifying the state of the art of a risk sensitive urban development is beneficial for both urban development and disaster management authorities to achieve their objectives. This study therefore explores the state of art revealing indices, models, concepts, tools and approaches which guide both urban developers and disaster managers to achieve risk sensitive urban development. A systematic literature review using PRISMA method covering the publications from 2017 to 2022 was carried out to identify the state of the art in risk sensitive urban development. Having followed a systematic filtering process, a total of 45 out of 281 research contributions have been considered for an in-depth analysis. The study found storm surge disaster loss (SSDL), GRaBS assessment tool and early warning systems as the key approaches of risk sensitive urban development which can lead both urban developers and disaster managers to synchronise their ideas to achieve risk sensitive urban development.

The whole world is utilizing its all-non-renewable energy sources to power their social, economic, and cultural needs. Hence, the significance of renewable energy is considered all around the world at this moment. Especially compared to other renewable energy sources, solar energy shows more reliable and available in the whole world. As a result, the cleanest solar energy makes a huge contribution to the global energy balance. To power the grid with solar energy all countries around the world expanding their technologies related to solar power generation. Accordingly, the net metering concept becomes a platform to inject and strengthen the grid with solar energy. However, some conventional methods such as NCRE power generation facility, DC-AC inverter, and islanding protection system are used to expand the grid-connected solar net metering in Sri Lanka. Therefore, it is required to improve the newly applicable solar net metering expansion strategies. Hence, this study aims to propose suitable strategies for the increment in the application of grid power solar net metering in Sri Lanka. A qualitative research approach was selected to conduct this study. Initially, a literature review was completed. Then, data is collected through semi-structured expert interviews with 4 experts, who have experience and engagement in the solar industry. The collected data were analyzed through manual content analysis. Findings revealed the key driving forces and the barriers to expanding the grid power solar net metering in Sri Lanka. With regards to the identified barriers, the newly applicable strategies have shown a significant amount of importance in Sri Lanka to expand the grid power net metering concept.

Published: December 2022

The construction industry is one of the leading economic sectors in any country yet is renowned for its reluctance to adopt novel innovations. Meanwhile, research has found that the decision of any industry on the adoption or rejection of innovations depends on its positive or negative perception, which is stipulated by industry professionals’ knowledge. Therefore, this research aims to disclose how the professionals’ knowledge affects successful innovation adoption specific to the construction industry. A qualitatively based extensive literature synthesis has been conducted concerning three concepts to provide a holistic view of innovation decisions. Namely, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Technology-Organisation-Environment framework (TOE), and Diffusion of Innovation theory (DOI). The findings revealed that the "existing knowledge" of professionals was a key factor in innovation decisions. Accordingly, five main perceived attributes (relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability and observability) have been identified through Roger’s innovation-decision model, and decisively common measurement items have been documented under each perceived attribute that comprehensively endorses the "existing knowledge" of construction professionals. Furthermore, this contemporary study found that all the recognised measurement items extensively affect innovation-decision. In the absence of a pragmatic decision framework, this article provides a clear impression for both technology developers and their users/stakeholders on crucial elements of innovation adoption that have been concerned via decision makers' technological perception.

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is an orofacial pain disorder that is more prevalent in females than males. Although an increasing number of studies point to sex differences in chronic pain, how sex impacts TN patients’ journeys to care has not been previously addressed. This study sought to investigate sex differences in patients’ journeys to diagnosis, referral, and treatment of TN within a large national context.

METHODS

Patients with classic TN (n = 100; 50 females and 50 males) were randomly selected through chart reviews at the largest surgical treatment center for TN in Canada for a cross-sectional study. Statistical tests, including Welch’s t-test, the chi-square test, Pearson’s correlations, and analyses of covariance, were conducted with Python.

RESULTS

Key discrepancies between sexes in access to care were identified. Females had a significantly longer referral time interval (average 53.2 months vs 20.4 months, median 27.5 months vs 11.0 months, p = 0.018) and total time interval (average 121.1 months vs 67.8 months, median 78.0 months vs 45.2 months, p = 0.018) than males, despite reporting higher pain intensity at referral. Although medically intolerant patients had a significantly shorter referral time interval than medically tolerant patients (average 13.0 months vs 41.0 months, median 6.0 months vs 17.0 months, p < 0.001), medically tolerant females had a significantly longer referral time interval than medically tolerant males (average 59.9 months vs 21.7 months, median 30.0 months vs 12.0 months, p = 0.017). No statistically significant differences were detected between the sexes for diagnostic time interval (average 63.3 months vs 43.0 months, median 24.0 months vs 24.0 months, p = 0.263) or treatment time interval (average 4.6 months vs 4.7 months, median 4.0 months vs 3.0 months, p = 0.986).

CONCLUSIONS

Critical sex differences in patients’ journeys to TN surgical treatment were identified, with females enduring considerably longer referral timelines and expressing significantly greater pain intensity than males at referral. Taken together, our findings suggest the presence of unconscious bias and discrimination against females and highlight the need for expediting TN treatment referral for female TN patients.
VAKİT GAZETESİ MUHABİRİ TALÂT MÜMTAZ (YAMAN) BEY’İN KASTAMONU, SİNOP VE ZONGULDAK KIYI ŞERİDİNDEKİ GEZİ İZLENİMLERİ (1930)
Authors: KAYIŞ Yasin
Published: December 2022

Talât Mümtaz Yaman Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun son, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarında Kastamonu’da yetişmiş çok yönlü bir kişiydi. 1930 yılında bir yandan Kastamonu’da öğretmenlik yaparken diğer yandan da yerel bir gazetede çalışıyor ayrıca İstanbul’da yayın yapan Vakit gazetesinin Kastamonu muhabirliğini yürütüyordu.

Vakit gazetesine rutin olarak Kastamonu ile ilgili haberler gönderen Yaman, 1930 yılında sekiz vilâyeti kapsayan bir inceleme gezisine çıkmıştır. Bu gezideki izlenimleri üç ay boyunca “Orta Anadoluda Seyahat Mektupları” adıyla ve 26 tefrika halinde Vakit gazetesinde yayınlanmıştır. Günümüzdeki idari taksimatta Kastamonu, Sinop, Bartın, Zonguldak, Çankırı, Kırıkkale, Çorum, Yozgat, Kayseri ve Sivas illerini kapsayan bu geziye dair mektuplarda Talât Mümtaz Bey kamu hizmetlerinden ekonomik etkinliklere, sosyal yaşamdan doğal güzelliklere kadar geniş bir yelpazede bilgiler aktarmıştır.

Ziyaret ettiği yerlerdeki izlenimlerini ayrıntılarıyla anlatan Talât Mümtaz gezisinin ilk etabında Kastamonu, Sinop ve Zonguldak kıyı şeridini ziyaret etmiştir. Muhabir bu kapsamda önce karayoluyla Küre üzerinden İnebolu’ya geçmiş, sonra deniz yolu ile ulaştığı Ayancık, Cide ve Bartın kazalarını ziyaret etmiştir. Zonguldak il merkezinde de temaslarda bulunan muhabir yine İnebolu’ya dönmüş ve yolculuğuna karayoluyla devam ederek Anadolu’nun iç kesimlerine yönelmiştir.

Talât Mümtaz’ın gezisinin ilk 13 tefrikasına konu olan kıyı şeridindeki yerleşimler coğrafi açıdan benzer özelliklere sahip bulunsa da 1930 yılı itibariyle bambaşka yaşam koşulları içinde olmuş, muhabir de bu yaşam koşullarını çarpıcı şekilde okuyucularına aktarmıştır. Verdiği bilgiler kimi zaman yetkililerle temaslarına kimi zaman halk arasında yaptığı sohbet ve gözlemlere dayanmaktadır.

Merkezi ve yerel yönetimler birlikte çalışması gereken iki idari unsur olup üstlendikleri görevler açısından birbirini beslemek ve desteklemekle yükümlüdürler. ‘Sosyal devlet’ anlayışının toplumun refahı için önem kazanmasıyla birlikte merkezi ve yerel idareler arasında görev paylaşımları yeniden düzenlenmiştir. Toplumların sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel anlamda birtakım insani ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması merkezi ve yerel yönetimlerin başlıca amaçları arasında yer almaktadır. Yönetimlerin, toplumsal ihtiyaçları karşılamak amacıyla ortaya koyduğu politikalar dezavantajlılar da dahil olmak üzere toplumun her kesimini kapsayacak nitelikte olmalıdır. Bu doğrultuda yapılan çalışmanın amacı; merkezi ve yerel yönetimlerin dezavantajlı kabul edilen yaşlılar, çocuklar, kadınlar ve engelliler için geliştirmiş olduğu sosyal hizmet politikalarının belirlenmesi ve bu politikaların fiziksel mekâna yansımalarının Trabzon ili özelinde tespit edilmesidir. Bu amaçla yapılan çalışmada kurumsal internet sayfaları, yazılı ve görsel dokümanların incelenmesi, yerinde gözlem, fotoğraflama ve yetkili kişilerle gerçekleştirilen görüşmeler ile veriler elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda dezavantajlı gruplar için merkezi yönetimin daha fazla kurumsal hizmet verdiği, ancak hizmet veren kurum/ kuruluş binalarının sayı, kapasite, fiziksel ve mekânsal nitelikleri açısından kalitelerinin arttırılması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Published: December 2022

Permukiman kumuh tepi sungai memiliki kualitas konstruksi bangunan dan lingkungan yang buruk akibat banjir pasang surut, sampah yang terbawa aliran sungai, dan bau genangan air limbah. Penghuni seharusnya tidak nyaman tinggal di lingkungan itu, tetapi penghuni memiliki persepsi yang berbeda tentang kenyamanan lingkungan. Memahami persepsi warga merupakan bagian penting dari pertimbangan perencanaan dan intervensi untuk meningkatkan kualitas permukiman kumuh. Penelitian ini mengkaji persepsi warga terhadap kenyamanan lingkungan di empat permukiman kumuh di bantaran Sungai Musi, Palembang. Keempat lokasi penelitian memiliki kepadatan yang berbeda. Di setiap lokasi penelitian mengambil data dari 75 responden secara acak. Pengumpulan data meliputi biodata penduduk, tingkat kenyamanan dan keinginan untuk pindah. Selain data tersebut, kuesioner juga menanyakan tentang kegiatan yang berkaitan dengan sungai dan pengelolaan sampah serta kelengkapan tangki air limbah kakus di dalam rumah. Data diolah dengan analisis distribusi dan analysis of variance (ANOVA) yang menunjukkan perbedaan persepsi yang signifikan antara keempat lokasi. Persepsi tidak banyak dipengaruhi oleh kepadatan dan kedekatan dari tepi air. Warga juga tidak direpotkan dengan banjir yang menggenangi pemukiman mereka melainkan oleh bau dan kotor. Oleh karena itu, pembangunan tanggul sungai untuk pengendalian banjir tidak boleh menjadi prioritas dalam meningkatkan kualitas permukiman bantaran sungai. Perbaikan harus ditujukan untuk mengatasi masalah bau dan sampah yang mengganggu kenyamanan penghuni.

Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh kemampuan berhitung anak yang masih kurang karena pelaksanaan kegiatan pembelajaran di salah satu TK di daerah Kabupaten Sidoarjo Kecamatan Krian yang cenderung menitikberatkan pada kegiatan akademik dan mengabaikan kegiatan bermain sebagai suatu metode di dalam pembelajaran. Guru lebih banyak menekankan pada lembar kerja siswa. Hal ini menyebabkan anak menjadi bosan saat belajar terutama dalam kegiatan berhitung. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh permainan tradisional dakon terhadap kemampuan berhitung angka 1-20 pada anak kelompok TK B. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif dan desain yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah pre-experimental design berupa one group pretest-posttest design. Subyek yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah sebanyak 13 anak. Analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik uji beda hasil pretest dan posttest (uji t). Tehnik pengumpulan data yang digunakan ialah observasi, dokumentasi dan tes. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dan analisis yang telah dilakukan maka hipotesis dapat diterima. Hal ini terlihat dari hasil penghitungan nilai t hitung > t tabel dengan nilai 17,91 > 1,78. Dengan demikian dapat diartikan bahwa permainan tradisional dakon berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan berhitung 1-20 pada anak kelompok TK B.

Comparison of the approaches to assessing the compressibility of the pore space
Authors: Zhukov Vitaly , Kuzmin Yuri
Published: December 2022

Integral and differential approaches to determining the volumetric compression of rocks caused by changes in the stress state are considered. Changes in the volume of the pore space of rocks are analyzed with an increase in its all-round compression. Estimation of changes in the compressibility coefficients of reservoirs due to the development of fields is an urgent problem, since the spread in the values of compressibility factors reduces the adequacy of estimates of changes in the physical properties and subsidence of the earth's surface of developed fields and underground gas storages. This parameter is key in assessing the geodynamic consequences of the long-term development of hydrocarbon deposits and the operation of underground gas storage facilities. Approaches to the assessment differ in the use of cumulative (integral) or local (differential) changes in porosity with a change in effective pressure. It is shown that the coefficient of volumetric compressibility of pores calculated by the integral approach significantly exceeds its value calculated by the differential approach, which is due to the accumulative nature of pore compression with an increase in effective pressure. It is shown that the differential approach more accurately determines the value of the pore compressibility coefficient, since it takes into account in more detail the features of the change in effective pressure.

Background: Parental divorce can cause psychological problem and disturbances in communication that have an impact on the student learning process. Thus, good self-regulation in the learning process is needed to keep students focused on achieving learning goals.Purpose: This study aims to identity the self-regulation of undergraduate college students who experienced parental divorce.Methods: Quantitative descriptive study was conducted in this study by using accidental sampling technique with a response rate of 34.65% (n=113) via online survey. Data was collected using the Self-Regulated in Online Learning Questionnaire (SOL-Q) and analyzed using univariate descriptive analysis.Results: The results showed that 52.2% of students with divorced parents had high self-regulation in learning and 47.8% of students had low self-regulation in learning. On the other hand, some of the students with parental divorce issues were in the low category on several aspects such as metacognitive skills (51.3%), persistence (52.2%), environmental management (49.6%), and seeking help (47.8%); and more than one third of respondents (38.1%) are also in the low category on the time management component.Conclusion: This study shows that respondents with high and low self-regulated learning are almost in equal proportion. The nursing profession can contribute to various collaborative efforts to improve student self-regulation in learning to improve students' psychological well-being and optimize their learning outcomes while studying in college.
