Keberhasilan suatu perusahaan sangat dipengaruhi oleh kinerja karyawan, di mana sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas menjadi aset penting dalam menciptakan keunggulan kompetitif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur pengaruh jenjang karir dan kompensasi terhadap tingkat quiet quitting di kalangan karyawan generasi milenial di Yogyakarta, dengan work-life balance sebagai variabel moderasi. Hasil survei menunjukkan bahwa faktor-faktor seperti pengembangan karir yang jelas dan kompensasi yang adil berperan signifikan dalam mengurangi kecenderungan quiet quitting, yang semakin marak di kalangan karyawan muda akibat tekanan beban kerja dan ketidakpuasan terhadap lingkungan kerja. Quiet quitting, yang mencerminkan keengganan karyawan untuk melampaui tanggung jawab pekerjaan dasar, menjadi fenomena yang perlu diperhatikan oleh manajemen. Penelitian ini juga menyoroti pentingnya work-life balance dalam menjaga motivasi dan kepuasan kerja karyawan, yang berkontribusi pada produktivitas perusahaan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini meliputi survei kepada 267 karyawan milenial di Yogyakarta, diikuti dengan analisis data menggunakan uji validitas, reliabilitas, dan regresi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kompensasi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap perilaku quiet quitting, sedangkan jenjang karir tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan. Namun, work-life balance terbukti memoderasi pengaruh jenjang karir dan kompensasi terhadap quiet quitting. Temuan ini memberikan wawasan penting bagi organisasi dalam merancang strategi pengembangan karir dan sistem kompensasi yang lebih efektif untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan karyawan dan mengurangi risiko quiet quittin.

The garment manufacturing industry is known for its complex production processes and heavy reliance on labor. The demand for high product quality makes quality control an essential step. In vocational education, where students are prepared to become competent workers, it is crucial for instructors to evaluate garments produced by students in a manner consistent with industry standards. However, a common challenge is the difficulty of measuring the dimensions of student-produced garments, often constrained by limited time and workforce. The number of garments produced by students frequently exceeds three times the number of students, leaving instructors overwhelmed during measurements. Garment dimension measurements can only be conducted in the garment workshop during practical sessions, as the garments cannot be taken elsewhere for evaluation. This limitation reduces flexibility and impacts the quality of education, which should provide comprehensive feedback on students’s work. To address this issue, a garment measurement system based on digital image processing has been developed as an alternative evaluation method. This system has been validated using two-way ANOVA testing, demonstrating no significant differences compared to manual measurement methods, with a 95% confidence level. Additionally, the system proves to be more efficient, saving 20–30 seconds per measurement compared to manual methods. Furthermore, a survey of 32 respondents shows positive feedback on this system.

The Derivational Functions of the Nasal Prefixes in Old Chinese
Authors:   The Institute of Humanities at Soonchunhyang University, Chen Yuxin , Lee Kyungchul
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the derivational functions of nasal prefixes in Old Chinese. Previous studies have shown that certain verbs in Middle Chinese alternate between voiceless and voiced initials, suggesting that these prefixes had a phonological influence. The paper compares three models proposed by Baxter & Sagart, Mei Tsu Lin, and Gong Hwang Cherng, each offering different hypotheses regarding the derivational mechanisms behind this phonological alternation. By using comparative evidence from Tibeto-Burmese and Hmong- Mien languages, this paper evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of these models. The results indicate that the *N- prefix derives intransitive verbs and triggers voicing of the initials, while the *s- prefix is responsible for causative functions but lacks the ability to induce devoicing. This conclusion is further validated through phonological and morphophonological analysis.
Moreover, this paper proposes a new hypothesis based on the Baxter & Sagart model, suggesting that the *N- prefix should be subdivided into two distinct nasal prefixes: *n- as an intransitive prefix and *ŋ- as a passive prefix. This division provides a more comprehensive explanation of phonological phenomena in Old Chinese and aligns with comparative evidence from Sino-Tibetan and related languages.

The Directorate General of Sea Transportation, under Indonesia's Ministry of Transportation, developed Inaportnet as a digital platform mandated by Ministerial Regulation Number PM 8 of 2022 to streamline ship service procedures and enhance e-government implementation. This study evaluates the user experience (UX) of the Inaportnet website, focusing on its usability, security, and overall design using a user-centred design (UCD) approach and the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) method. Data were collected from 56 respondents, including stakeholders such as ship operators, port authorities, and service users. The findings reveal critical shortcomings: 95% of respondents encountered frequent bugs affecting usability, 65% highlighted security concerns, 60% criticised the cluttered interface, 40% experienced access failures, and 50% expressed low engagement with the platform's features. To address these challenges, the website was redesigned using UCD principles, resulting in significant improvements. The redesigned platform achieved "Good" ratings for attractiveness, stimulation, and novelty, and "Above Average" ratings for clarity, efficiency, and accuracy in UEQ metrics, indicating enhanced usability and user satisfaction. This study underscores the importance of iterative UX design in optimising digital government systems, offering actionable insights for improving public service platforms in developing countries.
THE HEDGING POWER OF GOLD AGAINST INDIAN EQUITY SECTORS
Authors: Anchan Veerendra , Pandya Kalp , Salgaonkar Om
Published: January 2025

This study investigates gold's ability to hedge against volatility in the Indian equities market, with an emphasis on the auto and energy sectors, by employing the GARCH Model. The findings show that gold has moderate hedging potential, notably in the energy sector, where volatility persists. However, in the car sector, shocks have a short-lived impact, reducing gold's effectiveness as a long-term hedge. Despite its capacity to reduce volatility, gold's negative average returns and the model’s instability emphasise its shortcomings as a reliable hedging strategy.

A STUDY ON THE EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOKS OF CHINESE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS MAJORING IN JAPANESE: A GOVERNMENT RECRUITMENT PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Zhang Ziran , Ahmad H.
Published: January 2025

This study explores the employment outlooks of Chinese university students majoring in Japanese and their potential career development within government sectors from the viewpoint of government recruiters. Through semi-structured interviews with ten recruitment personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, we analyze their evaluations of the abilities of Japanese major graduates and the key factors influencing hiring decisions. The research finds that, although Japanese major students generally possess strong language skills, they exhibit gaps in cross-cultural adaptability, career planning awareness, and integrated competencies compared to the actual demands of government departments. Recruiters emphasize the necessity for Japanese major students to have a background in international affairs and stronger overall qualities to tackle the complexities and challenges of diplomatic work. Based on the findings, this paper offers relevant policy recommendations: universities should adjust the curriculum for Japanese majors, increase interdisciplinary course offerings, enhance career planning guidance, and establish collaboration mechanisms with government departments to provide students with more internship and practical opportunities. These measures aim to improve students' overall competitiveness and better meet the government’s need for versatile foreign language talents. Future research could further explore the differing demands for foreign language talents across various types of government departments to optimize the direction of foreign language education and policy-making.

RIGHT TO SOCIAL INCLUSION, PARTICIPATION AND ADEQUATE STANDARD OF LIVING FOR ELDERLY IN LONG-TERM INSTITUTIONAL CARE IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Ramli Siti Raudhah , Fauzi Husna
Published: January 2025

Living in long-term institutional care provides elderly individuals with a wide range of support services designed to enhance their quality of life. Nonetheless, there are still worries about whether their rights are genuinely upheld, despite these services. This article examines the rights of elderly individuals opting for long-term institutional care from an international perspective and scrutinises how Malaysia specifically addresses this right for these individuals. This article employs a library-based doctrinal approach by examining relevant international laws, Islamic human rights principles, and related Malaysian legislation. The findings indicate that, at the international level, the right to an adequate standard of living, social inclusion and participation are recognised, but it is generally provided for people of all age groups. Due to the lack of specific legislation for the elderly, no law in Malaysia explicitly provides these rights. However, for elderly individuals residing in long-term institutional care, these rights are mentioned in various provisions, such as the Care Centre Act 1993 (CCA) and Care Centre Regulations 1994 (CCR) for private long-term care, and the Rules for the Management of Old Person's Homes 1983 (RMOPH) for public long-term care.

Published: January 2025

Mosques are often described as a place of worship and a place for managing religious matters. Still, the difference brought by a mosque in Merbok, Kedah makes this mosque a unique and trending mosque among the community on social media. The 52-year-old Pekan Merbok Jamek Mosque has been given a new lease of life and rebranded as Masjid Al-Busyra. The construction of the mosque with the concept of a Rest and Treatment Stop and also as a One-Stop Centre makes it the first traveler-friendly mosque in Kedah. Therefore, this article focuses on the production of a documentary video entitled "Jejak Infaq Baitullah Merbok". This documentary video shows the renovation of Masjid Al-Busyra and its main role as a mosque that has successfully brought drastic changes to the surrounding community until it has succeeded in elevating the rural mosque as a regionally known mosque. This documentary video aims to portray the history of the transformation of the mosque development, promote economic and social activities in the mosque area, and show the uniqueness of Masjid Al-Busyra Merbok that has not been done in any regional mosques. The pre production method involved researching information on websites and social media, field survey (recce), and interviews with mosque management, residents, visitors, and traders to obtain accurate and detailed information. The production of a 10-minute full documentary video, a 1-minute teaser video, and a 1-minute behind-the-scenes video on "Jejak Infaq Baitullah Merbok", is an important step in reflecting the function of a mosque which is not only a place of worship but also an economic centre that can be used as a source of inspiration and change the community's perception.

Malaysia's performance in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) underwent substantial changes, with a primary decline from 2018 to 2022. This highlights the presence of integrity and ethical concerns, particularly corruption and fraudulent behaviour displayed by Malaysian government officials, which is highly worrying. In an effort to combat this issue, the government has implemented the National Anti-Corruption Plan (NACP) and the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010, as whistleblowing is one of the most effective tools for eradicating misbehaviour. However, statistics indicate that whistleblowing rates in Malaysia are continuing to decline. Whistleblowing refers to the act of revealing unethical conduct occurring within an organisation. Whistleblowing is a highly risky behaviour that necessitates intricate decision-making processes. Consequently, there are numerous individual factors that can assist an individual in resolving this dilemma. There is a dearth of research on the methods for promoting whistleblowing among public sector employees in Malaysia. Therefore, this conceptual paper seeks to analyse prior literature in order to identify the elements that influence whistleblowing intentions. The results of this study indicate that the individual factors of public service motivation, self-efficacy, and empathy play a crucial role in determining the whistleblowing intention. Moreover, it has been revealed that trust in an organization may function as a moderating element that influences whistleblowing. This suggests that the government administration should implement strategies to promote individual factors, such as cultivating a sense of public service motivation, strengthening self-efficacy and empathy, and fostering trust among employees. These initiatives will help to increase whistleblowing rates and achieve the NACP's goal of creating a nation free from corruption while also improving Malaysia's performance in the CPI. Moreover, this study offers valuable insights to enrich the existing body of knowledge in the field of whistleblowing studies by investigating the impact of trust as a moderating factor on whistleblowing intention.

Employee competency and professionalism are considered important factors that can improve performance. Apart from that, employee morale also has a significant role in mediating the relationship between competence, professionalism and employee performance. This research aims to examine the influence of competence and professionalism on employee performance with employee morale as an intervening variable at the East Luwu Regency DPRD Secretariat. The research was conducted at the East Luwu Regency DPRD Secretariat. The population in this study included all 85 East Luwu Regency DPRD Secretariat employees as well as the research sample. The data analysis techniques used are quantitative analysis and correlation analysis. Data is collected through a questionnaire and will be processed using the SmartPLS statistical tool. The research results show that employee competency has a positive and significant effect on employee morale and performance. Employee professionalism also shows a positive and significant influence on employee morale and performance. Work morale has a positive effect on employee performance, besides that work morale is able to act as a mediating variable that connects competence and professionalism with employee performance. Competence and professionalism are not only important individually, but also support each other through work enthusiasm to achieve optimal performance in the East Luwu Regency DPRD Secretariat.

Paddy storage, a vital practice in agriculture, ensures the preservation of harvested rice grains by managing key factors such as humidity, temperature, and cleanliness. This study compared the effects of hermetic and traditional storage methods on the qualitative attributes of Swarna, a widely cultivated paddy variety. After harvest, paddy samples were dried to a moisture content of 12.1% (w.b) and stored in IRRI hermetic super bags and traditional gunny bags under ambient conditions (30.5°C temperature and 82% relative humidity). The quality of the stored paddy was monitored over a six-month period.
The results revealed that paddy stored in traditional gunny bags suffered from pest infestation, leading to significant degradation in quality. This was evident through low germination rate of 68.2%, making the paddy unsuitable for seed production. In contrast, paddy stored in IRRI hermetic super bags showed no signs of insect infestation and maintained a stable moisture level throughout the storage period. Consequently, the germination rate for seeds stored in hermetic bags was significantly higher (91.7%), indicating superior preservation of seed quality.
The findings suggest that IRRI hermetic super bags are more effective than traditional storage methods, particularly in maintaining moisture levels, preventing pest damage, and preserving the viability of paddy seeds (p<0.05). The adoption of hermetic storage methods, a green alternative for storing paddy, could greatly benefit rural farmers by minimizing post-harvest losses. This can be achieved through farmer training and demonstrations, encouraging the widespread use of this improved storage technology.

The investigation was conducted during the kharif and rabi seasons of 2022-23 and 2023-24 at Research cum Instructional Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh. In kharif season, rice crop comprised of eight treatments in a randomized block design and replicated thrice. In rabi season, mustard crop was grown in the split-plot design with three replications. The residual of eight rice treatments were taken in main plot to study the effect of nutrient applied to rice on mustard crop. In sub plot two nutrient management practices viz. N1: STCR approach (target yield 2 t ha-1) and N2: 100% RDN through inorganic was studied. The result revealed that maximum growth indices (LAI, CGR and RGR), SPAD value and yield of rice were obtained with the Soil Test Crop response (STCR) approach (target yield 6 t ha-1) (100% inorganic) treatment. The residual effect of integrated nutrient management practices applied in rice on mustard registered significantly highest growth indices, SPAD value and yield in treatment STCR approach (target yield 6 t ha-1) (75 % inorganic + 25% organic). Among direct effect of integrated nutrient management practices in mustard, treatment STCR approach (target yield 2 t ha-1) produced significantly the highest growth indices, SPAD value and yield on mean data basis.

A field experiment was carried out in Vaikom kari soils of Kuttanad, during puncha season from October 2020 to February 2021 with an objective to augment the yield and nutrient uptake of rice in Vaikom kari soils through soil amelioration practices for managing soil acidity, and by supplementing nutrition at panicle initiation stage through foliar application of potassium and micronutrients. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with two factors in which factor A consisted of three levels of dolomite application in soil : No dolomite application (D0), Ordinary dolomite application basally and at 30 DAS (D1) and granulated dolomite application basally and at 30 DAS (D2), and factor B consisted of five levels of foliar nutrition: without foliar application (N0), foliar spray of 1% KNO3 (N1), foliar spray of 1% K2SiO3 (N2), foliar spray of 1% KNO3 + 0.5% micronutrient solution (N3) and foliar spray of 1% K2SiO3 + 0.5% micronutrient solution (N4) at panicle initiation (PI) stage. Analysis of experimental results indicated that the treatments had significant effect on yield and yield attributes and uptake of nutrients in grain and straw as compared to control. The result revealed that application of granulated dolomite as basal and at 30 Days after sowing along with foliar nutrition of 1% KNO3 or combined spray of 1% KNO3 with 0.5% micronutrients at PI stage were found to be more effective in enhancing grain yield and nutrient uptake of rice in Vaikom kari soils.
