Bolstering Transformation Delivery through Employee Engagement and Innovative Work Behaviour in Malaysia Public Services: A Conceptual Paper
Authors: Ahmad Fadzil Ahmad Syahmi , Hassan Roshidi , Shaari Nur Fatihah , Zainoddin Amir Imran 
Published: December 2021

The debut of National Transformation 2050 validates that Malaysia is committed in standing tall amongst the developed nations. Over the years, numerous transformation programs have been introduced to enhance the wellbeing of the nation and its people. Among the agenda is to overcome challenges in public services delivery which include the improvement of services by the counter service team and frontliners as well as the enhancement of reliability and integrity, issues of productivity, and many more. Public servants are an important source of innovation for an organisation that needs to be continuously nurtured. To accelerate the outcome, engagement was reportedly found to be the key enabler for sustainable success in any change or transformational-related event. Fostering employee engagement will nurture many prodigious advantages such as augmenting people’s innovative mindset and will greatly enhance the likelihood for a successful transformation program to happen. Along with the derivation of theoretical concepts guided by Social Exchange Theory (SET), the proposed concept is further reinforced through the best practices obtained from developed countries that have adapted best practices in employee engagement and innovation. The critical key area to a developed nation is always the wellbeing of its public services. In shaping Malaysia to be one of the most prominent figures in the future, everyone needs to be a builder.

Irreducible skew polynomials over domains
Authors: Brown C. , Pumplün S. 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Let S be a domain and R = S[t; σ, δ] a skew polynomial ring, where σ is an injective endomorphism of S and δ a left σ -derivation. We give criteria for skew polynomials f ∈ R of degree less or equal to four to be irreducible. We apply them to low degree polynomials in quantized Weyl algebras and the quantum planes. We also consider f(t) = tm
− a ∈ R.

О ПОЗАХ «СПЯЩИХ» В ПОГРЕБЕНИЯХ ЭПОХИ БРОНЗЫ
Authors: А.А. Казарницкий , И.С. Туркина 
Published: December 2021

Авторы предлагают проверить трактовку скорченной на боку скелетной позы как символа спящего человека в погребениях эпохи ранней бронзы степной зоны Восточной Европы. В выборке из 77 изображений современных людей в состоянии утреннего сна летом в полупустынном климате юга России отмечено безусловное доминирование встречаемости скорченных поз, несмотря на возможность сна в вытянутой позе. Сравнение поз современных спящих людей с положением скелетов в погребениях эпохи ранней бронзы Прикубанья выявило ряд совпадений в соотношении основных типов поз, в частоте скорченных поз в целом и в более мелких деталях положения рук и поворота туловища. Трактовка скорченной позы как типичной позы спящего человека признана допустимой.
The authors propose to check the interpretation of the contracted position of the skeleton lying on the side as a symbol of a sleeping individual in the Early Bronze Age burials in the steppe belt of Eastern Europe. The sample of 77 images featuring modern people in the state of morning dream in summer from the areas in the Russian South with a semi-desert climate demonstrates indisputable prevalence of contracted positions despite the fact that people can sleep in an extended posture. Comparison of positions in which modern persons sleep with the positions of the skeletons found in the Early Bronze Age burials of the Kuban region revealed a number of coincidences regarding the main types of positions, incidence of contracted positions as a whole and minor details of hand and arm positions as well as the turn of the body. The interpretation of the contracted position as a typical posture of a sleeping person has been recognized as acceptable.

Published: December 2021

Современные педагоги отмечают, что именно приобретение важных компетенций может дать человеку возможности ориентироваться в современном информационном пространстве, быстротечном развитии рынка труда и получать образование на протяжении всей жизни. Обучение в ВМУЗ (высшем медицинском учебном заведении) определяет ведущее место в этом процессе такого явления как мобильность знаний. Последняя предполагает наличие высокого уровня образования, умения эффективно осуществлять информационный поиск научной информации и других элементов исследовательской деятельности. Современному студенту для основательного овладения учебными дисциплинами необходимо овладеть методами научного познания и исследовательскими компетентностями. Эти компетентности включают также навыки поиска необходимой научной информации. Данные навыки формируются на дисциплинах естественно-научного цикла. Методика формирования данной компетентности описана в трудах. Естественно-научные дисциплины чрезвычайно важны для будущих врачей. Элементы объяснения окружающей среды и его внутренних законов, исходя из собственного представления о природе играют важную роль в формировании человека как личности. Навыки работы с научной информацией способствуют повышению эффективности профессиональной подготовки. Умение эффективно искать такую информацию является ключом для профессионального роста и совершенствования будущих врачей.
Modern teachers note that it is the acquisition of important competencies that can give a person the
opportunity to navigate in the modern information space, the rapid development of the labor market and receive
lifelong education. Training at the Higher Medical school (higher medical educational institution) determines the
leading place in this process of such a phenomenon as the mobility of knowledge. The latter implies a high level
of education, the ability to effectively carry out information search for scientific information and other elements
of research activity. For a modern student to thoroughly master the academic disciplines, it is necessary to
master the methods of scientific cognition and research competencies. These competencies also include the
skills of searching for the necessary scientific information. These skills are formed in the disciplines of the natural
science cycle. The methodology for the formation of this competence is described in the works. Natural science
disciplines are extremely important for future doctors. The elements of explaining the environment and its internal
laws, based on one's own idea of nature, play an important role in the formation of a person as a person. The
skills of working with scientific information contribute to improving the effectiveness of professional training. The
ability to effectively search for such information is the key to professional growth and improvement of future
doctors.
Effective investment policy as the basis for the economic development of the region: experience in education

Published: December 2021

Основное содержание значительных сдвигов, происходящих в социально-экономическом устройстве общества заключается в беспрецедентном в масштабах истории человеческого развития увеличении значения и роли знаний и человека как основного императива и цели экономического и общественного развития. Из – за этого чрезвычайную актуальность приобретают исследования именно тех сфер, в которых происходит воспроизводство и развитие человека и знаний, то есть, прежде всего образования. Развитие системы образования в России в контексте общеевропейских и мировых интеграционных процессов предопределяет необходимость обновления деятельности всех образовательных звеньев, в частности дошкольного, так же, как и в начальной, средней или высшей, ведь глобализационные тенденции сегодня ставят перед выпускниками каждой из них более высокие требования к личностному интеллектуальному развитию. На поверхности жизни общества образование предстает как условное взаимообусловленное единство двух блоков-экономического и неэкономического. Экономическая функция образования, с одной стороны, заключается в воспроизводстве знаний и рабочей силы, с другой – в предоставлении обществу специфического продукта – образовательных услуг. Неэкономичный блок является сложной совокупностью элементов духовного, ментального, культурного характера, направленных на воссоздание духовно-ментальной матрицы общества.
The main content of the significant shifts taking place in the socio-economic structure of society is an
unprecedented increase in the importance and role of knowledge and man as the main imperative and goal of
economic and social development in the history of human development. Because of this, research in precisely those areas in which the reproduction and development of man and knowledge takes place, that is, first of all,
education, becomes extremely relevant. The development of the education system in Russia in the context of
pan-European and global integration processes determines the need to update the activities of all educational
units, in particular preschool, as well as in primary, secondary or higher, because globalization trends today put
higher requirements for personal intellectual development for graduates of each of them. On the surface of the
life of society, education appears as a conditional mutually conditioned unity of two blocks-economic and non-economic. The economic function of education, on the one hand, is to reproduce knowledge and labor, on the
other - to provide society with a specific product-educational services. An uneconomical block is a complex set
of elements of a spiritual, mental, and cultural nature aimed at recreating the spiritual and mental matrix of
society.
The Politics of Activism and Biculturalism: the emergence of bicultural consultancies in New Zealand
Authors:   , McKenzie Ethan 
Published: December 2021

<p>In what many commentators have characterised as a contradictory trajectory, a number of people involved in radical anti-state activism, which defined New Zealand from the late 1960s to the 1980s, became consultants on biculturalism for government agencies by the late 1980s. These consultants ran seminars for Pākehā public servants on the history and contemporary impact of Māori oppression under colonialism; Māori language, culture, and protocol; and the proposed future of the Crown-Māori relationship. This thesis uses genealogy and case study methodology to track the emergence of bicultural consultancies, their ideology and techniques, and their role in Māori policy reform beginning in the late 1980s. It aims to reveal the connections and disjunctions between the goals of anti-state activists active from the late 1960s to the 1980s, and the bicultural consultancies which emerged by the late 1980s. Māori anti-racist and anti-state activists and their Pākehā allies skilfully leveraged the state by invoking the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi to call for a new partnership between Māori and the state, a partnership that by the 1980s was officially termed biculturalism. The public sector, which was identified as institutionally racist by activists, was an important focus of this activism. Activists demanded that Pākehā-dominated government departments be reformed to better reflect and serve Māori. The state’s response to these demands, beginning in earnest with the 1988 policy paper Te Urupare Rangapu and additionally sustained by the precepts of so-called ‘bicultural’ or ‘Treaty’ issues, created the demand for consultants to assist with reforming Māori policy making and delivery, and by extension, those public servants that would be responsible for the success of these reforms. While bicultural consultants were still working with anti-racist ideas and frameworks, the ascendancy of bicultural and Treaty discourses by the end of the 1980s somewhat obfuscated the ontologies of race and institutional racism in their work.</p>
A legal framework for sharing customs intelligence through the single window system
Authors:   , Thomas Bruce 
Published: December 2021

<p>Some customs agencies are implementing electronic single window systems. These single window systems enable an importer or exporter to digitally transmit their transaction information to the customs administration. The single window system shares relevant information with other government agencies involved in the import or export process. It relieves the importer or exporter of the need to lodge transaction information separately with each government agency. An international single window system is the interconnection of two or more national single window systems. It enables the exporter’s transaction information to be re-used in import processing, thereby reducing the amount of information required from importers. For states that already have customs intelligence-sharing agreements, a single window system could be used to exchange intelligence information about the import and export transactions processed by the system. Intelligence-sharing agreements can and should include transparent protection for human rights. The human rights relevant to this legal framework are access to justice, freedom from arbitrary search and seizure, freedom from torture and the right to privacy. The right to privacy is the human right most affected by intelligence-sharing. This thesis proposes a legal framework to enable intelligence to be shared through a single window system with transparent terms for managing human rights. This thesis suggests that public confidence would be improved by showing how privacy and other human rights are treated in the rules for customs intelligence-sharing using the system proposed here.</p>
Arcadia, The Museum Of Nature
Authors:   , Cleland Hamish 
Published: December 2021

<p>The loss of indigenous ancient forests has had a great impact to New Zealand habitats. Native birds, insects, fungi, plants and animals have been diminishing in diversity since human occupation. This is to a degree the result of intensive resource consumption and demand. Forestry, agriculture, mineral and gas resources were seen as more valuable than the ecosystems that existed before them. Our landscapes themselves became secondary. The particular infrastructure of open cast mining was chosen for this research. Mining represents a way to design active reclamation, while the mine site is still operating. Because of this, time becomes an integral component to the design process. The site is situated at Macraes flat, Otago. Ten kilometres of open cast mine, in operation since 1990. Open cast mining has produced great income. However, The cost of mining extends beyond an eyesore, it diminishes the quality of the land for any future use. Arcadia, the Museum of Nature is a vision of a place for preservation and for pride in ancestral property. A true “Arcadia” — a land of natural wonder. This is a museum of New Zealand’s key indigenous species. One designed through myth woven narratives, inspired by existing authors and generated through narrative experiments. To inspire, educate and showcase our unique ecologies, and endangered environments for future generations. Arcadia becomes a place to witness the succession of the natural world. A continuous time scale allows for a regenerative solution over years to centuries. Thereby showing the ability and resilience of nature in taking back from man’s intrusive tendencies. Rectifying the grotesque interruption of one of nature’s greatest tools, that of time. All the while harbouring our rare and unique wildlife. The museum of nature replaces the current system of remediation, and provides a more provocative solution to the end of modern day infrastructure.</p>
The use of musical interactions to collaborate with teaching staff and specialist services at a special education school.
Authors:   , Brooks Devin 
Published: December 2021

<p>This research aimed to investigate how a student music therapist used musical interactions to collaborate with teaching staff and specialist services at a special education school in New Zealand. Music therapists in this context are able to collaborate by assisting and supporting other therapy professionals and staff. I was particularly interested in how the ‘music’ served as a collaborative tool within the school and what was meaningful that developed from these musical interactions between school members. Through secondary analysis of my reflective clinical journal notes I was able to explore how I used musical interactions to collaborate. Data was coded, sorted into meaning units, and themes were then drawn out using thematic analysis. The findings suggested that musical interactions promoted staff experiences of music making with others as well as supporting student goals, by corresponding to the classroom learning agenda. Musical interactions gave support in resourcing staff to become facilitators of music in the classroom, as well as supporting the little moments when life at a special education setting can be challenging. Lastly, musical interactions were perceived to build a sense of community within the school. Music-making and facilitation of music in mostly informal settings seemed to support connecting and relationship building between students and staff.</p>
Capital Gateway
Authors:   , Russell Michelle 
Published: December 2021

<p>This thesis analyses modern transport interchanges in the context of the current Wellington Railway Station, to then ask: How can interior architecture optimise the use function of a concourse within a transport interchange? As one of the largest transport interchanges in New Zealand, the Wellington Railway Station serves around 40,000 people everyday. Due to the projected population increase of around 50,000 by 2043, this of course will mean a further increase the number of people travelling each day via the railway station. The design in this thesis calls for a redeveloped ‘transfer hall’ or ‘main concourse’ area that strives to connect with other modes of transport and accommodate the fluctuation of both patronage numbers while also considering how the interior could provoke a positive social interaction from the user, by doing so it is thought that the new interchange becomes a place to visit, rather than just a quick thoroughfare. The key aim of the thesis is to capture the current architectural expression of the station, to then convert it into a modern interchange.</p>
The Living Barrier: Residential architecture acting as a noise barrier near railway corridors
Authors:   , Lim Jonathan 
Published: December 2021

<p>As urban regions increase in population and density, the need for quietness and spaces of relative calm becomes important to inhabitants’ physiological and psychological health and wellbeing. Noises, and the sounds that create them, are treated as a by-product of urban densification and the advancement of technology. This led to uncontrolled and incidental acoustic environments around notable points of urban densification. Each sound adds together in the acoustic environment to create a composition that is labelled collectively as noise. Those in the professions of planning and designing these urban environments have a responsibility to become the composers of the grand aural experience that is the worldly soundscape. In response to this design problem, this portfolio explored how architecture can be designed to enable this sustainable densification of noisy urban environments. It proposed the incorporation of psychoacoustics and R. Murray Schafer’s soundscape philosophy (and ongoing related research) into acoustic design. By understanding the complex creation of the aural experience, this portfolio investigated whether the key to living healthily and sustainably in an inevitably sound-filled urban environment laid in the design of soundscape as a perceptual construct. The investigation translated relevant literature into broad explorations of soundscape design elements at a variety of architectural scales. Using soundscape principles in a design process produced a strong architectural proposition that could solve both densification and acoustic problems. This had widespread and profound implications on architectural design practices. The portfolio therefore prompts further explorations into soundscape design for other architectural problems and applications.</p>
The Economics Of Disaster Risk And Recovery: Three Essays On Sri Lanka
Authors:   , de Alwis Diana 
Published: December 2021

<p>Dramatic increase of economic losses from Natural disasters derail economic and human development in many places. This dissertation sheds light on natural disaster risk and short-term and long-term household wellbeing after disasters. It is composed of three empirical studies of Sri Lanka. The first study examines the impacts of frequently occurring extreme weather events on individual health and health care cost using national household data. The analysis shows that local floods and droughts impose a significant risk to health when individuals are exposed directly and their communities indirectly to these hazards. These risks are associated with the land-use in the affected regions and the status of access to sanitation and hygiene. Health risks due to flood and drought cause a considerable economic burden on the private and public health care sectors. Finally, we learn that recurring extreme weather events may potentially be sources of significant health risk and economic cost to a rapidly growing developing country that call for alternative policies focusing on the socio-economic environment, and land use to manage these health risks. The second study estimates a difference- in- difference (DID) model to examine the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami’s long-term impacts on household wellbeing in Sri Lanka. The study finds a strong association between area-wide tsunami disaster shock and increases in household income and consumption in the long-term. The increase in consumption is much smaller than the observed increase in income; the study reveals an increase in food consumption and only a marginal increase in non-food consumption. The third study analyses the 2004 tsunami recovery’s impact on income distribution across households in the long-term in Sri Lanka using quantile difference-in-difference methods and inequality measures. Recovery of household income is observed across the entire distribution of affected households. The income recovery is skewed to low-income households; the affected regions appear more income-equal ex-post compared to the unaffected regions. A similar pattern appears for consumption. Finally, the findings in the second and third studies show a potential for a long-lasting and successful recovery from a catastrophic disaster.</p>
