Published: August 2024

Background and Objective: A high level of body fat is a chronic disorder known as obesity. It is unknown how gastrointestinal hormones and obesity are related. The human biological system has various neuroendocrine inputs for managing food intake, including effects on appetite regulation and satiety signals. One of the recent new parameters for evaluating obesity is serum Oxyntomodulin and Leptin which is thought to be due to a disruption in the levels of these hormones. The present study aimed to evaluate the gastrointestinal hormones and their impact in obese and non-obese individuals. Methods: This comparative study carried out at the Biochemistry Unit/ Basic Science College of Medicine-Hawler Medical University, from September 1st, 2021 to March 30th, 2022. A total number (76) participants Obese and non-Obese individuals (30-66 years) age ranged both males and females at (Hawler Cardiac Center, and Erbil’s Court). Fasting blood specimens were collected from participants. The following parameters were measured (OXM, and Leptin) along with (T.C, TGs, HDL, LDL, and VLDL). Results: In this study represented 39% Male, and 37% Female obese. Du to the BMI of participants, a significant association (P < 0.001) observed between OXM, Leptin, and BMI, Pearson correlation analysis showed that Leptin was positively correlated with TG and VLDL (p<0.05), a significant association of Leptin/OXM ratio, Leptin/BMI ratio and OXM/BMI ratio in obese Individuals. Conclusion: Due to low levels of OXM with high Leptin levels in obese individuals and strong relationship between these hormones and BMI, the findings from this study clearly show that body weight gain and increased hunger are linked to the effects of these hormones in obesity.

Published: August 2024

Strata residences require more intensive facilities management than landed residences due to the shared common properties between strata owners. However, despite the establishment of the strata building sector, there is still a lack of clarity on what constitutes 'good facility management'. This study aimed to assess resident satisfaction with strata residence facilities. The research design employed a quantitative research method, involving the administration of questionnaires to gather the required data from residents. The findings of the research indicate that enhancing the satisfaction of strata residents is achievable through a comprehensive understanding of their expectations, identification of areas within service delivery requiring improvement, and subsequent implementation of appropriate changes. Management corporations could identify areas of service delivery that needed improvement and make changes to enhance the satisfaction of strata residents.

Authors: Pantaleon, Jr Anastacio G. , Pantaleon Franco G. , Lincuna Jun Rey S. , Jovero Leo Ian D.
Published: August 2024

Urbanised areas in Northeastern Mindanao have a problem of addressing flooding occurrences. This study primarily aimed to provide insights into how the rainwater catchment system of uptown communities and their cooperation could increase flood resiliency of downtown communities in the Surigao del Sur, Caraga Region, Philippines. This research employed quantitative analysis of the eleven (11) year (2010-2020) data from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration - Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur station. The recommendable optimum rainwater storage capacities for a given number of household occupants, roof areas at run-off efficiency of 90%, and three (3) day rainfall characteristics at 36.9% averaged probability of exceedance were initially determined. Through scenario analysis, uptown communities emptying their rainwater storages before heavy downpour occurs could provide sufficient flood volume reduction and buffer time for downtown communities to prepare. The output of this research is vital in the environmental planning, management, and policies of cities and regions.

Published: August 2024

Motivation is essential for boosting worker’s performance to achieve high productivity within an organisation. This study investigates the impact of various motivational strategies on construction worker performance in Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana. We aim to identify the key factors that enhance employee engagement and productivity, informing effective management practices within the construction industry. A quantitative survey was conducted among construction professionals, including architects, quantity surveyors, civil engineers, builders, and artisans. Participants were selected from various company sizes (small, medium, and large) and experience levels (five to thirty- five years) to capture diverse perspectives and ensure some level of representativeness within the targeted population. Descriptive statistics and Relative Importance Index (RII) were employed to analyse data on employee perceptions of motivation and its impact on performance. Open-ended responses provided additional insights and context. The study reveals a strong link between motivation and construction worker performance. Factors like fair compensation, clear career development prospects, and a positive work environment were key motivators. Monetary rewards alone were deemed less impactful, highlighting the importance of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. The study is limited to the generalisable construction industry in Ghana; regional variations and cultural factors may require further investigation. The self-reported nature of the data poses potential bias, and future research could explore targeted interventions and leadership styles to refine motivational strategies. This study contributes to understanding motivation within the construction industry, offering valuable insights for practitioners to optimise workforce performance and boost productivity. The emphasis on quantitative and qualitative data analysis strengthens the findings and provides a more nuanced perspective on employee experiences.

Published: August 2024

The marine ecosystem service in Malaysia offers wealth benefits, including fisheries resources, ecotourism, coastal protection, climate regulation, and nutrient recycling. However, the failure to impute the price of ecosystem services (ES) in marine ecosystem service would result in a misguided policy, and society would be detrimental as a result of the misallocation of resources. The full potential of these services has not been fully quantified in economic terms. This paper reviews the suitable indicators pertinent to a Total Economic Value (TEV) of marine ecosystem service to propose a conceptual framework for the TEV of marine ecosystem service in Malaysia. We conduct a comprehensive review of the marine ecosystem service components (2018–2023) of literature. Studies are categorised based on the TEV and ES components they refer to, as well as the different approaches to the use of ecosystems. This review aims to establish a standard for future research on the TEV of marine ecosystem services, as there is a lack of studies on this topic, and to raise community awareness of the value of protecting natural resources, inform policymakers, and aid in cost-benefit assessments of initiatives. The data will help demonstrate the benefits of protection marine ecosystem services.

Published: August 2024

The emergence of the volatile, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) has adversely affected the supply chain network's resilience. The risks and difficulties presented by the VUCA environment can harm an organisation's performance. The project stakeholders are highly encouraged to prioritise sustainability, adaptability, and resilience while considering the constantly changing, volatile, and uncertain climate. Thus, Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) is a strategic response to the challenges the VUCA environment poses. Contracting firms can expand their capacity to mitigate risks, negotiate volatility, and generate long-term value for all stakeholders by integrating sustainability concepts into supply chain operations. However, SSCM become problematic because of diverse global supply chain disruptions and sustainable demands. Understanding the trends in this topic is crucial to discovering the pattern of resilience strategies in sustainable supply chains. The current literature is reviewed in this study, focusing on studies conducted between 2006 and 2024. The Scopus database and the VOS viewer software were used to arrange a systematic literature review and provide an overview of this field. One hundred fifty-nine (159) publications on resilience, risk management and SSCM were identified and written by hundred and nine (109) authors from forty-four (44) countries. The top number of publications was from Iran, with thirty-eight (38), followed by the United States, with twenty-six (26). The most frequently used keywords are sustainability, supply chain management, supply chains, and sustainable development, reflecting the current significant research direction. Standard bibliometric indicators were utilised in this study, and data analysis was done using VOSviewer, Microsoft Excel, and Harzing's Publish and Perish software. The core input of this study is analysing available information to address resilience issues in mitigating risk in the sustainable supply chain. To build a more sustainable system, it offers suggestions for more research in these areas that scholars may pursue and that project stakeholders could implement in their organisations.

The growing interconnectedness of the world has led to a rise in cybersecurity risks. Although it is increasingly conventional to use technology to assist business transactions, exposure to these risks must be minimised to allow business owners to do transactions in a secure manner. While a wide range of studies have been undertaken regarding the effects of cyberattacks on several industries and sectors, However, very few studies have focused on the effects of cyberattacks on the educational sector, specifically higher educational institutions (HEIs) in West Africa. Consequently, this study developed a survey and distributed it to HEIs particularly universities in West Africa to examine the data architectures they employed, the cyberattacks they encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic period, and the role of data analysis in decision-making, as well as the countermeasures employed in identifying and preventing cyberattacks. A total of one thousand, one hundred and sixty-four (1164) responses were received from ninety-three (93) HEIs and analysed. According to the study’s findings, data-informed architecture was adopted by 71.8% of HEIs, data-driven architecture by 24.1%, and data-centric architecture by 4.1%, all of which were vulnerable to cyberattacks. In addition, there are further concerns around data analysis techniques, staff training gaps, and countermeasures for cyberattacks. The study’s conclusion includes suggestions for future research topics and recommendations for repelling cyberattacks in HEIs.

This study aims to explore the implications of imported electrical equipment in Indonesia, analysing both short-term and long-term impacts using a quantitative approach. The research focuses on understanding how various economic factors, such as domestic production, international pricing, national income, and exchange rates, influence the country’s import dynamics in the electrical equipment sector. Employing an Error Correction Model (ECM) for regression analysis, the study utilises time-series data from 2007 to 2021 to delve into the complex interplay of these variables. The methodology involves a comprehensive analysis using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller and Phillips-Perron tests to assess the stationarity of the data. This approach ensures the robustness of the ECM, which is employed to analyse the short-term and long-term effects of the identified variables on electrical equipment imports in Indonesia. The results reveal significant relationships between these economic factors and import levels. In the short term, imports are shown to be sensitive to changes in domestic economic conditions and international market prices, while in the long term, the country’s economic growth, reflected through GDP, emerges as a significant determinant. The findings suggest that Indonesia’s electrical equipment import policies must adapt highly to domestic and international economic changes. In the short term, a responsive approach is required to manage the immediate impacts of market fluctuations. The study highlights the importance of aligning import strategies with broader economic growth and environmental sustainability goals for long-term sustainability. Policymakers are advised to focus on enhancing domestic production capabilities, reducing import dependency, and ensuring that environmental considerations are integral to import policies. This study contributes to understanding import dynamics in a developing country context, offering valuable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders in shaping strategies for economic growth and sustainability in the electrical equipment sector. The findings underscore the need for a balanced, data-driven approach to managing imports, aligning short-term responses with long-term strategic objectives for Indonesia’s ongoing development and industrial advancement.

Authors: Fitria Annisa Zaenab Nur
Published: August 2024

Individuals who have self-compassion tend to have more positive thoughts regarding traumatic experiences, which in turn will relate to better emotional outcomes. The struggles of individuals with great challenges in the life crisis will result in a positive change experience called posttraumatic growth (PTG). The study aims to see the relationship between self-compassion and posttraumatic growth in adolescence who have been fatherless (because of death) and living in the orphanage. The study participants were 100 adolescences (57 males and 43 females) aged 12-15 years. The selfcompassion variable is measured by Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003), whereas posttraumatic growth variables are measured by the Post Traumatic Growth Inventory (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996) through the adaptation process. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between self-compassion and posttraumatic growth in adolescence that stayed in the orphanage (R = 0.252, p <0.01). In this research, the self-compassion aspect that the most impact for posttraumatic growth is self kindness (r = 0,351, p < 0.001) and common humanity (r = 0,303, p < 0.001).
