Life imbalanced amongst youth regarding moral, behaviour and personality problems have been discussed in many studies. However, not many of these research articles discussed on effective interventions process to improve the imbalance especially on youth life. Hence, this study offers a methodology on conducting an effectiveness intervention to improvise youth life-balance. A group of 90 youths were selected from a secondary school to participate the intervention process based on their low academic performance. First phase of the intervention was to investigate the imbalanced elements using a modified Wheel of Life which consisted of 8 elements with 10-points scale. During the investigation session, youth are required to shed the modified Wheel of Life based on individual perspective. The coach analysed all the 90 shaded Wheel of Life and found that personality and discipline element has the lowest score. Then, only 9 youth that having lowest score in this element are grouped and proceed to second phase which is called coaching session. In this session, the youth have undergone 5 interaction sessions where the first session is known as ice breaking activity then followed by another 4 interactions coaching sessions using GROUP model approach. The purpose of ice breaking session was to gain rapport amongst youth. Then during the GROUP model coaching session, a pre and post coaching forms were prepared and filled by the youth to gauge their life balance status. These GROUP model coaching sessions continued until the fourth session. Then, the pre and post coaching forms were analysed to quantify the impact of the coaching sessions on the youth personality and discipline element. For the last phase, the results of these coaching sessions were validated through the interview session with the teachers and parents of the youth. It was found that the average effectiveness percentage of the GROUP model coaching is 72.95%. It is hope that this study contributes new knowledge on intervention process to improvise youth life balance.

The Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) System is set to be one the most important and largest transport infrastructure projects in Malaysia. Since its inception in 2011, the rapid development of the KVMRT System has contributed to a substantial amount of costs related to safety and health issues. Fatalities, serious injuries, and damage to properties have occur every year due to the rapid construction of this project. Work injuries create significant economic and humanitarian consequences to our society, especially to this project where it involves billions of Malaysian Ringgit (RM). The awareness of the accident, especially the payment cost, is absent because the contractors, clients and the consultants leave these matters to the insurance company. They always ignore the indirect costs due to an accident without realising the true losses to them. Therefore, this paper studies the types of indirect costs of accident incurred during the construction of KVMRT Projects. Sixty (60) reported accident cases were examined to measure the level of significance for those items from the safety personnel experiences. The study found that the most significant type of accident contributing to the indirect costs is the Management Cost Component and Accident Report Cost where it involved the cost of the investigation process item until to the preparation of report. The findings of the study may assist stakeholders in estimating the accident costs during construction projects, and, hence, enable them to plan their investments in terms of safety measures in a more insightful manner.

Cybersecurity is a growing concern for smart grids, especially with the integration of solar photovoltaics (PVs). With the installation of more solar and the advancement of inverters, utilities are provided with real-time solar power generation and other information through various tools. However, these tools must be properly secured to prevent the grid from becoming more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. This study proposes a threat modeling and risk assessment approach tailored to smart grids incorporating solar PV systems. The approach involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks through threat modeling and risk assessment. A threat model is designed by adapting and applying general threat modeling steps to the context of smart grids with solar PV. The process involves the identification of device assets and access points within the smart grid infrastructure. Subsequently, the threats to these devices were classified utilizing the STRIDE model. To further prioritize the identified threat, the DREAD threat-risk ranking model is employed. The threat modeling stage reveals several high-risk threats to the smart grid infrastructure, including Information Disclosure, Elevation of Privilege, and Tampering. Targeted recommendations in the form of mitigation controls are formulated to secure the smart grid’s posture against these identified threats. The risk ratings provided in this study offer valuable insights into the cybersecurity risks associated with smart grids incorporating solar PV systems, while also providing practical guidance for risk mitigation. Tailored mitigation strategies are proposed to address these vulnerabilities. By taking proactive measures, energy sector stakeholders may strengthen the security of their smart grid infrastructure and protect critical operations from potential cyber threats.

При первичной открытоугольной глаукоме большинство методов лечения направлено на достижение толерантного внутриглазного давления. Эти усилия не всегда приводят к предотвращению потери зрения, поэтому необходимы другие варианты лекарственного воздействия для уменьшения прогрессирующей нейродегенерации зрительного нерва и ганглионарных клеток сетчатки. Была изучена эффективность 2-этил-6-метил-3-гидроксипиридиния N-ацетилтаурината (лабораторный шифр EHMP-NAT) и его комбинации с тимололом при первичной открытоугольной глаукоме у крыс, индуцированной внутрикамерным введением гиалуроновой кислоты в течение 9 последовательных недель. На 67 сутки в группе животных с введением EHMP-NAT и тимолола наблюдалось снижение внутриглазного давления в сравнению с группой крыс с первичной открытоугольной глаукомой на 35,5 % (p < 0,05) и на 32,3 % (p < 0,05) в сравнении с группой крыс, получавших EHMP-NAT; увеличение амплитуд a-волны на 28,4 % (p < 0,05) и b-волны на 52,2 % (p < 0,05), по сравнению с животными без фармакологической поддержки. Средняя амплитуда а-волны в группе с EHMP-NAT и тимололом была незначительно больше (на 5,8 %), чем у животных в группе с EHMP-NAT. Средняя амплитуда b-волны в группе с EHMP-NAT и тимололом была незначительно больше (на 7,6 %) данного показателя в группе с EHMP-NAT. При коррекции первичной открытоугольной глаукоме соединением EHMP-NAT наблюдали снижение экспрессии гена каспазы-3 в среднем на 21,5 % (p < 0,05) в сравнении с животными без фармакологической поддержки; снижение экспрессии NF-κB p65 в сравнении с моделью глаукомы на 40,7 % (p < 0,05); снижение экспрессии гена c-Fos в сравнении с моделью глаукомы в 2,3 раза (p < 0,01); снижение экспрессии р53 в сравнении с моделью в среднем на 41,5 % (p < 0,05). Выявленные изменения в экспрессии проапоптотических генов в сетчатке на модели глаукомы сопоставимы с данными, полученными нами на модели ретинальной ишемии-реперфузии и NMDA-опосредованной эксайтотоксичности, что подтверждает общность механизмов апоптоза в сетчатке при данных моделях патологии и вклад гиперактивации NMDA-рецепторов в патогенез первичной открытоугольной глаукомы.
