Authors: Fallahi Mohammad , Tahvildarzadeh Monireh , Mohammadi Rasool , Astaraki Peyman
Published: January 2025

Background. Knowing and respecting the rights of patients by doctors is very important to improve the quality of care and increase the trust and satisfaction of patients. For this reason, it is necessary for doctors to know these rights. In this research, doctors' awareness of the bill of rights of patients in teaching hospitals of Khorram Abad city, Lorestan has been investigated. Methods. In this cross-sectional descriptive analytical study, the statistical population was made up of doctors working in teaching hospitals in Khorramabad city in 2019. A sample of 145 people was determined using the available method. In order to collect data, a questionnaire whose validity was previously measured by the form method and its content and reliability by the retest method was used. Data analysis was done with tests of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, independent t, Anova, and Pearson correlation, and SPSS software version 24. Results. The total awareness score of the bill of patient rights among the doctors was calculated as 95.44 ± 5.85. The level of awareness of 93.1% of excellent doctors, 5.5% was good and 1.4% was average. There was no significant relationship between the age, gender and source of knowledge of doctors and their level of awareness of the patient's bill of rights. With increasing work experience and higher level of education, the level of awareness of the bill of rights of the patient increased. The knowledge of psychiatrists was at the highest level (100) and the knowledge of general doctors was at the lowest level (92.83 ± 6.8). Conclusion. The findings showed that the awareness of doctors about patient's rights was at a high level. This high awareness of doctors is due to the correct training of medical ethics, and patient's bill of rights to doctors in recent years, so it seems necessary to continue and strengthen it. The results can be used as a benchmark for decision-makers and planners in the field of health, treatment and medical education in order to train doctors and treatment staff and lay the groundwork for the implementation of the patient rights charter and increase the satisfaction and health of patients. Practical Implications. This study helps to identify and solve the challenges of this field by providing an image of the physicians' awareness of the patient's charter of rights in university hospitals, and the effort to satisfy the patients improves the quality of health care.

A Review of the View of Life and Death in 『Lüshichunqiu』
Authors:   The Institute of Humanities at Soonchunhyang University, Ok Hyunju
Published: January 2025

In this paper, the view of life and death in 『Lüshichunqiu』was summarized. The view of life and death in 『Lüshichunqiu』is found mainly in ｢Sibigi(The Twelve Records｣. The discussion on the view of life is focused in the chapters of ｢Bonsaeng｣, ｢Junggi｣, ｢Gwisaeng｣, ｢Jeongyok｣, and ｢Jinsu｣, which all belong to spring, while that on the view of death is concentrated in a discussion in the chapters of ｢Jeolsang｣, ｢Ansa｣, ｢Sajeol｣, ｢Chungryeom｣, which all belong to winter. By planning 『Lüshichunqiu』, LǚBùwéi intended to hold the ruling theory of despotic king of the School of Law of those times in check, encourage monarchs, and furthermore, pursue prosperity and stability of the unified empire.
This political intention of Lǚ Bùwéi is also revealed through the view of life and death. This thesis is different from previous research in that the view of life and death of 『Lüshichunqiu』 was categorized into the view of life and the view of death and the characteristics of each view were analyzed and synthesized. While the view of life in 『Lüshichunqiu』 targets monarchs and emphasizes life-nurturing, the view of death targets vassals and emphasizes devotion of life(捨生, Sasaeng), which is the structure where Lǚ Bùwéi's political intention is reflected. First, the philosophy of respect for life suggested as a principle of life-nurturing in the view of life is a part of criticism of severe criminal punishment of Legalism, the governing ideology of Qin Dynasty. And abstinence contains encouragement regarding a monarch's extravagance. In the view of death in『Lüshichunqiu』, loyal vassals who sacrificed their life for their nations and monarchs, and righteous vassals who reconstructed to a monsrch risking their life are introduced. It shows that Lǚ Bùwéi preferred the theory of Non-Action Politics that claims a monarch's doing nothing on the premise of vassals' doing something, and highlighted great, talented men risking their own life and death, and the cooperation system with a monarch appointing these talented individuals. Lǚ Bùwéi stressed loyal vassals and talented men much for the political intention of limiting the concentration of power to a monarch and dividing power between a monarch and vassals.
An Analysis of Repeated Expression Selection and Grammatical Information Description for Korean Language Education
Authors:   The Institute of Humanities at Soonchunhyang University, Heo Eunhye
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to identify and select repeated expressions for Korean language education and to examine the necessary grammatical information to be provided when teaching these expressions. Repeated expressions, as defined in this study, refer to chunk expressions where either the grammatical form is repeated, such as '-으랴 -으랴', or a combination of grammatical form and lexical form is repeated, such as '-는 둥 -는 둥', which are treated as a single grammatical unit in Korean language education. An analysis of seven integrated textbooks developed for Korean language education confirmed that repeated expressions appear across all textbooks, validating their status as a grammatical category within the curriculum. However, a review of these textbooks revealed significant variations in the repeated expressions taught and considerable discrepancies in their frequency. This inconsistency among textbooks highlights a gap in the research on repeated expressions for Korean language education. As an initial step in addressing this gap, this study has selected repeated expressions suitable for educational purposes. To determine the grammatical items, a thorough analysis of Korean language textbooks, grammar books for Korean language education, and expert opinions from Korean language educators was conducted. Additionally, crucial grammatical information for teaching repeated expressions was systematically organized based on Korean language textbooks, grammar books for Korean language education, and prior related research. This study aims to systematize the fragmented repeated expressions found in Korean language textbooks, providing a foundation for future research to develop effective teaching methods for repeated expressions to foreign learners.

THE ROLES OF JAWATANKUASA KESELAMATAN DAN KEMAJUAN KAMPUNG (JKKK) AS CHANGE AGENT: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES OF POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN THE RURAL AREAS
Authors: Sharon Pearl Henry Serub , Junaidi Noni Harianti
Published: January 2025

In development administration, the public policies are purposely introduced by the government as a change sponsor towards a specific target group in society to encourage positive change. To ensure that these policies are implemented properly, it is the responsibility of policy implementers who take on the roles of change agents to bring changes into society. Generally, these change agents are the civil servants who have been trained specifically for these roles to ensure that the policies planned and introduced will be able to achieve their intended goals. As a developing country, the policies introduced by the government are majority development policies for both the urban and rural areas. For this purpose, the government set up specific ministry for the sole purpose of developing the rural areas in the country to narrow the gap between both areas. As such the change agents responsible for implementing the various programs under the rural development policies need to ensure that the rural population, namely the target groups, are ready and prepared to accept these changes. This is where the important roles of the JKKK comes in as the secondary change agents to provide support for the civil servants in undertaking the tasks of policy implementation. This paper seeks to identify the general issues and challenges faced by the JKKK as secondary changes in assisting the government to ensure that the implementation of public policies can proceed without much hassles as to ensure the policy goals are achieved. The understanding from such endeavours will encourage better preparation and communication between the government (change sponsor), the civil servants (primary change agent) and the target groups in the rural areas.

Authors: Ab Rahman Siti Nordarma , Ahmad Nor Shafrin
Published: January 2025

In the face of unprecedented global crises, the importance of effective knowledge management (KM), organisational learning (OL), crisis communication, public health management, and resilience across sectors has become paramount. This systematic review employs the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework to rigorously synthesise findings from 22 key articles out of an initial 157, categorising them into three core themes: Knowledge Management and Organisational Learning in Crisis, Crisis Communication and Public Health Management, and Crisis Impact and Resilience in Various Sectors. The review reveals that effective knowledge-sharing and adaptive learning mechanisms enable organisations to respond adeptly to dynamic crises. Meanwhile, transparent, evidence-based communication strategies are essential for maintaining public trust and effective crisis management. Additionally, it highlights that resilience is multi-dimensional, requiring sector-specific strategies, adaptive capacity, resource availability, and inter-sectoral collaboration to mitigate adverse effects and foster recovery. In conclusion, the synthesis underscores the necessity for integrated approaches encompassing KM, effective communication, and adaptive strategies across different sectors to enhance crisis preparedness and response.

Authors: Abd Razak Siti Suraya , Ahmad Faradina , Abdull Rahman Rabeatul Husna , Azman Amira Farain
Published: January 2025

Digital platforms have transformed traditional business models, fostering communication, innovation, and flexibility across industries. The growth of digital labour platforms expands job options through greater internet access and remote work. The active participation of platform workers has further driven this expansion due to the flexibility and variety of job opportunities available. However, platform workers are facing various labour issues, including inconsistent payment, unfair account suspensions, and inadequate compensation while working on the digital labour platform. The current regulatory framework prohibits platform workers from forming and joining trade unions, hindering platform workers’s rights to unionise and directly affecting their chance to improve their employment contract. This study examines the issues faced by platform workers and recommends improvements that can be made to the current regulatory framework to improve the association rights of platform workers in Malaysia. A qualitative research method in the form of a semi-structured interview with platform workers and the committee member of the E-Hailing Coalition Malaysia is conducted. Content analysis is used to examine parliamentary statutes, academic articles and interview feedback to identify key themes and patterns in the study. The findings reveal gaps in current legal protections and suggest recommendations for reclassifying platform workers as employees to ensure they can engage in collective bargaining and protect their labour rights. This study contributes to the growing discourse on digital labour platforms by advocating for policy reforms that foster a more equitable, sustainable, and just working environment for platform workers in Malaysia.

Authors: Husnayaini Dinar , Anwar Suhardi M , Pajarianto Hadi , Tahier Ilham
Published: January 2025

This research aims to analyze the influence of policies and budgets on the quality of human resources (HR) and their impact on the performance of librarians at the East Luwu Regency Regional Public Library. The phenomenon behind this research is that there is still inequality in budget allocation and policies that are not optimal in supporting improving the quality of human resources in libraries, which ultimately has an impact on the performance of librarians. Comprehensive policies and adequate budget allocations are necessary to ensure that librarians have the skills and knowledge necessary to provide optimal services. This research uses a quantitative approach with survey methods. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to 85 librarians at the East Luwu Regency Regional Public Library. Data analysis was carried out using multiple regression techniques to examine the influence of policies and budgets on the quality of human resources and path analysis to evaluate their impact on librarian performance. The research results show that policy has a positive and significant influence on the quality of human resources. The budget variable has a positive and significant influence on the quality of human resources but does not have a significant influence on the performance of librarians. Human resource quality is able to mediate a significant relationship between policy and budget variables on librarian performance. To improve the performance of librarians, library managers and policy makers must focus on developing supportive policies, adequate budget allocation, and improving the quality of human resources.
MALAYSIA: CITIZENS’ AWARENESS AND PERSPECTIVES ON EXISTING REFUGEES IN THE COUNTRY
Authors: Ang Siew Mun , Ahmad Tajudin Bazlin Darina , Eng May Chuen , Jasmin Nur Zahrawaani
Published: January 2025

This preliminary study examined 70 Malaysians’ awareness and perspectives on the refugee situation in the country. It was found that despite many news and social media reports highlighting the plight of refugees in Malaysia, there are still 32.9% (N=23) who are not aware that there is a community of foreign nationals who are marginalized and are called ‘refugees’ in our country. Moreover, 68.6% (N=48) of these respondents have not heard of the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and its roles. This paper also found that 62.9% (N=44) of the Malaysians surveyed agreed that refugees should be helped, be entitled to equal human rights and should not have to face abuses or exploitation, especially in the hands of unscrupulous local employers. However, they are divided on whether the Malaysian government and its people should prioritize refugees over local needs and issues. Interestingly, 54.3% (N=38) of these respondents also expressed a desire for the refugees to be relocated to a third, and more advanced country. This shows that a majority of them are holding onto an old, but existing narrative in contrast to what local scholars (see Kartini & Nur Atiqah, 2023) are now suggesting – a super-diverse Malaysia in terms of ethnicity and cultural practices – by integrating the refugees into our society. The scholars’ position accords with the Acculturation and/or Integration Theory. Nonetheless, three respondents had highlighted that these refugees could possibly bring many positive impacts on our economy if they work here legally while awaiting relocation to a third country. So, only these three respondents’ views are in line with the latest narrative on refugees, i.e., seeing them as valuable human capital or resources. Finally, this paper concludes by outlining some current frameworks on how to view refugees since their numbers have swelled in Malaysia and globally.
ASEAN SOCIAL COHESION DEVELOPMENT: TOWARD STRENGTHENING REGIONAL SECURITY
Authors: Zakaria Jazimin , Zamhury Nurulaini
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes the principle of social cohesion for ASEAN countries. In the context of social cohesion model, ASEAN members should strive to preserve their strong relations in spite of their diverse backgrounds. Only by understanding and accepting individual differences can ASEAN move forward with the pursuit of its development agenda without being seen as one with only the soft power by its peers. As such, this paper argues that social cohesion has the potential to be made as the foundation for ASEAN development and expansion in the future. Looking at the uncertainties of global economy and politics, ASEAN should be well-equipped and well-prepared to embrace the world’s many unpredictability of sort. With ASEAN continuing to go strong and steadfast with its neutrality principle, ASEAN is more than able to further consolidate its unity as a whole, which is paramount to secure the regional security. The member countries’ heterogeneous and varied backgrounds notwithstanding, not only a strong and cogent ASEAN will be more understanding of each other, it will only help buttress and bolster the sovereignty of its member countries. As such, this qualitative paper deliberates on and provides the framework of the social cohesion for a strong ASEAN country so important to face the challenges of global politics.

Published: January 2025

The focus of this paper is to discuss efforts to foster youth awareness and its connection to the role of the community and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in enhancing integrity and personal identity. This paper discusses and examines the issues and challenges of the culture of corruption, focusing on aspects such as: (i) Efforts to Foster Youth Awareness, (ii) The Role of the Community, (iii) The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), and (iv) Integrity. The findings of the study propose six (6) mandatory measures to eliminate corrupt practices, namely: (i) Exploring the Nature of Corruption and the Practice of Gift-Giving, (ii) Shaping Public Perception to Oppose Corruption in Politics, (iii) Raising Awareness Among Citizens on the Impact of Corruption on the Nation’s Governance Framework, (iv) Strategizing Institutions and Plans to Address Corruption Crimes,(v) Emphasizing the Importance of Combating Corruption through the ‘Integrity and Anti-Corruption Course (KIAR)’ in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), and (vi) Strengthening Law Enforcement and Penalties for Corruption Offenses. This study underscores that eradicating corruption is a long-term process that cannot be achieved overnight. In Malaysia, where corruption cases involving youth and prominent figures have highlighted the persistence of this issue, education plays a pivotal role. Emphasis should be placed on experiential learning methods for the younger generation to cultivate integrity, resilience, and high ethical values, along with strong discipline. By shaping individuals with robust character and the ability to resist corrupt practices, this group can become the driving force in Malaysian society, leading efforts to dismantle the deeply ingrained culture of corruption.

Correlative behavior between defect generation and ferroelectricity development in Hf0.5Zr0.5O2
Authors: Morita Yukinori , Asanuma Shutaro , Ota Hiroyuki , Migita Shinji
Published: January 2025

Using electrical measurements and analysis, we investigated the relationship between the generation of defects in pristine Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) capacitor and their ferroelectricity. Applying a voltage to the HZO MFM capacitor for the first time, its current characteristics showed anomalous features, which differed from the typical ferroelectric characteristics observed in the second voltage application. In our previous research, we proposed the origin of this phenomenon as the generation of electric-field-induced defects in the HZO film, which mediated the current flowing through the MFM capacitor. In the present research, as a result of precise measurements of current–voltage characteristics, it was found that the defect density generated depended on the maximum electric field strength applied to the MFM. Similarly, with increasing defects, the ferroelectricity of the HZO was emphasized. Based on this relationship, we proposed a model in which electric field-induced defect generation initiated ferroelectric transformation in the HZO layer.

Authors: Joudah Marwan Talib
Published: January 2025

The study aimed to synthesize and preciously identify a linear hybrid co-polymer called (iso-BMA-co-TMSPMA) as a bulky gel polymer. Through the free radical polymerization, an organic monomer (iso-butyl methacrylate/iso-BMA) with an inorganic monomer (Trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate) (TMSPMA) were reacted to yield the product. The manufactured silica is used in a variety of processes that can be combined to create hybrid polymers that can rebuild human bones. A Schlenk flask was used to synthesize the hybrid polymer due to its large surface area for well-distributed heat and stress all over the flask. The hybrid polymer, which contains active groups that serve as the polymer's backbone, was successfully synthesized, as evidenced by the 1H- NMR and 13C-NMR peaks that were obtained. FT-IR for the synthesized gelatinous polymer was obtained as well and showed some signals that identified the molecule as it is shown in the discussion section. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were utilized and showed an accumulated shape, a surface that possesses ripples, and morphological features for the polymer.

Published: January 2025

The current study focused on estimating the level of chromium in biological tissues such as nails using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) technology, as this technique is distinguished by its ability to estimate small amounts of chromium up to 0.005ppm. A number of parameters were used in this study such us Age, gender, as well as a comparison between people who smoke and non-smokers to estimate the level of chromium. 122 samples were collected and divided into two parts, including 55 models for people with lung cancer and 67 models for healthy people. The results showed a high percentage of chromium in people with lung cancer (0.2757 ± 0.0209 ). ) Compared to healthy people (0.0437 ± 0.0044 ). The study found that one of the causes of high levels of chromium in lung cancer patients is due to smoking, as the percentage of chromium in affected smokers reached (0.2665 ± 0.0262 ) compared to non-smokers (0.0875 ± 0.0103 ). A comparison was also made between the percentage of chromium in infected men and women. The study found a higher percentage of chromium in men (0.2230 ± 0.02050 ) in comparison to females (0.0646 ± 0.00987 ) because men are more addicted to smoking than women. In this study, a statistical analysis program was used SPSS at P < 0.05).

Lipasin, a hormone found in the liver and adipose tissue, is involved in glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism. Lipasin levels in plasma are controlled by food and rise after glucose consumption. Because plasma glucose and insulin levels both rise after eating, The study aims to elucidate if lipasin increases insulin sensitivity.
According to this study, the patient group's lipasin concentration increased significantly (p-value˂ 0.05) in comparison to the control group, and the area under the curve (AUC) for lipasin was 75.75 %.
The levels of insulin and glucose and also for the BMI were higher  (p-value˂ 0.05) in patient group in comparison to control group.
The results emphasize that Lipasin may play a crucial role in T2DM development.
