A Study on Days of hospitalization of insured with the claims data
Authors: Et. al. G Srimannarayana
Published: April 2021

: The health insurance sector has grown at a double digit growth rate in India in the past decade. The Government schemes for the individuals' insurance coverage from the low-income group have resulted in higher penetration. Raise in the disposable income of the middle income and awareness of health insurance has led to self-subscription by private individuals. An increase in insurance penetration has also led to an increment in the claims for the insurer. However, the insurance coverage has been actively subscribed by the population in the age group of 19-64 years. The average claim amount processed is higher in infants and aged people. Days of hospitalization for the insured treatment help the insurers derive the claims' amounts and hence can budget the reserves accordingly. Days of hospitalization is found to have a strong positive relationship with age. Logistic regression of Half-yearly bins data has the predictability of Days of hospitalization of claimants at 69%.

The Expectation for Risk-Sharing Cycle: Theoretical Model and Global Implementation
Authors: Wolf Ishay
Published: April 2021

In this paper, we offer an explanation to pension systems cyclical reforms, based on Central East Europe (CEE) countries experience over the last three decades. We claim that in the transition to funded pension design, the government not only transfers longevity and fiscal risks to the individualbut also absorbs risks transferred from the public, where each market actor transfers undiversifiable risks to the other. This hidden risk path that has not been discussed yet in the literature, stemmed from the public expectation to risk premium or adequate old age benefits that evolves to political pressure. The outcomes of this risk path realized in financial transfers, such as social security, means-tested and minimum pension guarantee. Consequently, funded pension designs naturally converge to a new landscape paradigm of risk sharing, including intergenerational and intra-generational play. Financial crises such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic foster the convergence process.

Authors: Et.al Eni Suriana Binti Alias
Published: April 2021

There have been major changes in current workforce competitiveness trends. The changes in workforce demographics particularly in the increase of dual-earner families and single-parents have resulted in increased multiple role conflicts. Working couples must cope with the problem of combining work and family responsibilities in their daily life. Many industries adopted the current trend of the flexible working environment into their organizations. This study explores the moderation effect of supervisor support between flexible working arrangements (FWA), the effect on work interference with family conflict (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW). The population for this study primarily focused on the organizations that adopt the flexible working arrangement such as flexible working time, working from home, and compressed work-week practices in Malaysia. The companies selected is based on the listing of global organizations practices FWA mentioned in Talent Corp Malaysia Flexible Working Arrangement collaboration with Malaysian Federation Employer report, 2015. The questionnaires were distributed through the Human Resource Department of each organization. The result demonstrated that there is relationship between FWA and WIF and there was moderation effect of supervisor support (SS) between FWA and WIF.  However, the result showed no moderation effect of SS between FWA and FIW. This study supports the idea that supervisor support is a resource that helps employees to manage the occurrence of interference from work to family and to overcoming FIW, supports particularly from family members either siblings, parents and spouse is important. The implication of this study is that, work conflict issue requires the proactive effort and support not only from the organization in terms of supervisor support through FWA but also support within the family circle. Organizations approach in adopting FWA in their attempts to minimize WFC is recommendable but it should be applied across occupation and organizations as one of employee benefits policy.

Published: April 2021

This study aims to reexamine the relationships between selected macroeconomic variables, especially the expenditure on education, on growth of Malaysian economy. Specifically, the exogenous variables in this study comprise of government education expenditure, investment, human capital and expert labor. For analysis purpose, this study adopts the time series data from 1988 until 2018. The estimated model is developed by employing ordinary least square technique (OLS). Outcome of this study discloses that human capital is the most crucial variable in elucidating Malaysian economic growth in the long term. Additionally, the study findings affirm that the government expenditure on education and capital formation are second and third outstanding variables in clarifying the economic growth in the observation time frame, respectively. Surprisingly, this particular study discovers that labor force expertise is irrelevant in influencing economic growth for Malaysia case. Consequently, the results of this study are parallel with other previous studies, especially on the roles that have been played by all variables aforementioned above. Albeit insignificant, expert labor still gives little impact to Malaysia’s economic growth at 10% confidence level. The reason being, as a high middle income country, human capital has more profound effect in promoting economic growth in Malaysia due to its ability to generate remarkably higher productivity for the nation compares to expert labor factor. For future study, further dynamic analysis is needed to prove the variables’ relationships in the short and long terms.
The Legalities of Trespass to Tenancyin Malaysia
Authors: Et.al Saslina Kamaruddin
Published: April 2021

The landlord-tenant relationship in Malaysia is mostly governed by the tenancy agreement, which spells out the rights and obligations of both parties. Despite having the legal agreements, it has been reported that many issues arise, such as trespass committed by landlords to the tenanted property and recovering losses from the tenants who disappeared. As of today, the country has yet to enact specific legislation to deal with issues arising between landlords and tenants. Hence, in the event of any dispute, the tendency for Malaysian landlords is not to go through the legal system to settle them as it is a costly and time-consuming process. Some tenants who are aware of this legal inefficiency choose to exploit it for their benefit at the landlord’s expense. Hence, the main issues in this paper will be the possible ways in of trespass could be committed by landlords into the tenanted property, and their rights are not very well-protected, and quite often, the safety deposits collected beforehand are never enough to cover the losses. Given several lacunae, this paper analyses the on the possible or several ways in which the landlord could commit trespass into the tenanted property. Also, this paper will investigate the current Malaysian legal system to identify the current solutions available for eviction and repossession of a tenanted property. Also, this paper seeks to similar practices in Australia and the United Kingdom, which havelong-standing legislation governing tenancy issues. The research adopts doctrinal research in which secondary sources,including academicjournals, online sources,and decided cases are referred. The authors contend that contrary to the United Kingdom and the Australian legal position, there is a gap in the Malaysian law in governing landlord-tenant relationship.

Through the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013–2025, the government fosters the acquisition of HOTS in all subjects, including moral education subjects. Thus, blended learning, which integrates conventional teaching methods and learning activities that utilize online technology, is considered appropriate as an effective learning method for the digital generation. Therefore, this research aims to explore the potential of blended learning methods in generating HOTS among secondary school students. This qualitative study used 14 participants who were students in moral education classes in two secondary schools. Moral education students are involved in the five steps of the blended learning method: set induction, lesson development, classroom activities, assessment as well as closing and reflection. The findings show that blended learning methods can enhance students' thinking skills, such as the ability to apply moral skills, analyse moral issues, evaluate moral decisions and create instructional materials based on moral content. Therefore, this study proposes that the utilization of blended learning has implications for the learning process, especially in inculcating and developing HOTS among moral education students.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the Graduate Marketability Model (GMM) for Malaysian Vocational Colleges (KV) Business Management graduates. The approach used was quantitative with a survey design involving 243 Business Management graduates from KVs across Malaysia. The sample selection was based on simple random sampling techniques. Subsequent findings of the PLS-SEM analysis of the measurement model inidicated that the CR values ​​obtained for each construct were in the range of 0.889 to 0.990 where the skills contributed the highest (CR) value (0.990) whilst the involvement in development scored the lowest CR value (0.800). Overall, this study shows that the three main constructs are important in contributing to the marketability of graduates, which are skills, Proactive Career Behavioursand Positivity Traits.Implications of the study prove that improvements to the tertiary education system are necessary so that graduates are always able to meet the needs and requirements of industry employers. The next development of GMM will be able to assist more relevant parties, especially the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) and the Technical and Vocational Education Division (BPTV), to be a useful guide at producing marketable graduates.

This article is about a studio investigation that is used as a practical studio-based research method to produce creative works of visual art. Creating an empirical research-oriented visual artwork isa creative process that involved intellectual phase on aesthetic object not an easy process. Studio-based research issimilar just like any other research is to contribute science through the creative work of visual art. Thus in the investigation studio, there are two phases of research method, which is the data generation phase and the artwork phase. For Phase data generation, there are four components of the study element, namely qualitative approach, neo-narrative process, visual research methodology and object (subject of study). The Artwork approach consists of two components - art-making that consists of four-phase elements and studio experience components.

Manuscripts or classic texts written by hand found in papers, barks, and rattans are relics of past generations. According to generated data, Springer Link publishes a total of 111,010 articles concerning classical texts from the year 2015 to 2019. The present bibliometric analysis focuses on three aspects, namely year of publication, type of document, and field of discipline. Data collection in schedules and visual scheduling display the current trends of classical text studies. Bibliometric analysis discovers that the utmost type of publication generated from the classical text neyword is “article” with 6,962,098 hits. The field of research which records the highest search frequency is “Physics” with 30,705, whereas, the field of “Linguistics” only records 1425. However, the analysis concentrates about research on the subdiscipline field of computational linguistics. The Language and Literature subdiscipline records the highest search numbers of 148. Through the bibliometric study, three prominent lexicons revealed from the field of linguistics closely related to classical texts are Language, Corpus, and the Arabic Language. The process of topic visualisation of research papers through a word cloud can reveal these three lexicons. In conclusion, bibliometric analysis related to the field of linguistics not only provides a clear view of current developments of global classical text studies, but it also predicts the future research potential of the field.

Unable toreadhas a significant impact on language acquisition that can contribute to children failing at school. Therefore, teachers must utilise methods that are in accordance with the children’s ability during their early stages of reading development to prevent them from experiencing difficulties in a formal school environment. The objective of this study was to observe the effectiveness level of multisensory technique towards children’s skills in reading open syllables. By using structured observation, children were observed using three different multisensory activities such as ‘sand letters’, ‘Alphabet jump’, and ‘tactile alphabet’. 16 open syllables were identified like ‘ma’, ‘ho’, ‘su’, ‘gi’, ‘pa, ‘du’, ‘me’, ‘ga’, ‘do’, ‘bi’, ‘te’, ‘pu’, ‘so’, ‘ri’, ‘ta’ and ‘la’ by using a checklist item from Linus instrument. The study showed that multisensory technique was able to assist in children’s reading skills of open syllables even if they come from different language backgrounds. In addition, this technique helped the children to avoid confusion between Malay and English open syllables with the presence of stimulus during reading activity. This proved that an environment rich with stimulus are important for children’s development. It provides important factors for teachers in delivering meaningful experiences during children’s learning.
