Spare parts warehouse re-layout design with kaizen 5S implementation to reduce wasted time searching for machine parts
Authors: Nuryono Arif , Kurnia Hibarkah , Zulkarnaen Iskandar 
Published: July 2024

Increasing the productivity and efficiency of production machines cannot be separated from the availability of machine spare parts in the warehouse department. Delays in the delivery of spare parts if machine problems occur often become a problem that disrupts efficiency. This delay was caused by the search for engine spare parts in the warehouse taking too long to find. The long search time was caused by the irregular placement of the materials and the messy condition of the warehouse. This research aims to make improvements to the goods search process to make it faster and more effective in the warehouse area and increase warehouse capacity using warehouse re-layout. This research method uses the implementation of warehouse re-layouts combined with the application of Kaizen 5S in controlling the condition of machine spare parts. This research found that the reason for the long search time for machine spare parts was due to the lack of knowledge of warehouse operators and the absence of training regarding the application of the 5S method, as well as the careless placement of spare parts in warehouses that were not neatly arranged. This research has resulted in a reduction in search time for engine spare parts from 6.4 minutes to 4 minutes per spare part unit or a decrease of 36.5%. Meanwhile, the results of the warehouse re-layout resulted in an increase in warehouse capacity from 80 pallets to 316 pallets, an increase of 395%.

Published: July 2024

A field experiment was carried out during both July to November 2019 and 2020 on the farmers’ fields in the Guptapara village of South Andaman, India, to determine the growth and yield performance of a medium-duration rice cultivar and its suitability. The treatments included five medium-duration rice cultivars consist of Jaya, ADT 45, CARI dhan 3, CARI dhan–6, and CARI dhan-7 laid out in Randomised Complete Block Design with four replications. The results showed that medium-duration rice cultivars exhibited significant variations in growth and yield attributing characteristics, such as leaf area index, root length, root dry weight, the number of productive tillers m-2, panicle length, filled grains panicle-1, and test weight. The growth attributes of rice were significantly influenced by medium-duration rice cultivars, except plant height. Regardless of the duration of the rice cultivars, CARI dhan 7 exhibited significantly greater root length and dry weight, measuring 33.2 cm and 6.37 g hill-1, respectively. CARI dhan 7 had substantially higher productive tillers (357 m-2), filled grains panicle-1 (121.6), grain (4790 kg ha-1), and straw yield (7390 kg ha-1), which was statistically comparable to CARI dhan-6. CARI dhan 7 had the highest gross return of ` 71595 ha-1, a net return of ` 36946 ha-1, and a benefit-cost ratio of 2.07. The medium-duration rice cultivar CARI dhan 7 performed better and more suitable in low-lying areas of South Andaman.

Authors: Br Manalu Dewi Ningsih , Diansyah Arfan , Gultom Imelda Megawati 
Published: July 2024

This research aims to explore a multicultural approach to teaching history at SMAN 14 Medan, especially in a multiethnic context. The multicultural approach here refers to the integration of various ethnic perspectives into the history curriculum to increase understanding and respect for cultural diversity. This study was conducted using qualitative methods and data collection techniques through classroom observations, interviews and document analysis. The research results show that the application of a multicultural approach to history learning at SMAN 14 Medan has helped students understand and appreciate cultural differences, as well as increasing student involvement in the learning process. Key success factors include teacher training, teaching materials relevant to multiethnic contexts, and an inclusive learning atmosphere. The implication of this research is the importance of applying a multicultural approach to history learning to enrich students' learning experiences in a multiethnic context. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the development of a more inclusive history curriculum in ethnically diverse schools. By understanding and appreciating cultural diversity, students are equipped with the skills necessary to interact effectively in a multiethnic environment. Teachers, as facilitators, have a key role in creating a supportive learning environment for all students, thereby creating valuable and relevant learning experiences. This research also highlights several limitations, such as the research being limited to one school and the qualitative approach used. Therefore, further research involving a number of schools and using quantitative methods can provide a broader understanding of the effectiveness of a multicultural approach in teaching history.Applying a multicultural approach to history learning not only benefits students academically but also helps prepare them to live and work in an increasingly multicultural society. Thus, inclusive and multicultural history learning is not only relevant in an educational context but is also important for building an inclusive and tolerant society in the future.

Authors: Gregory Varolien , Yusoff Haslinda , Tapsir Roszana , Fauzi Hasan 
Published: July 2024

Background and Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between selected audit committee attributes (gender diversity, size, meeting, independence, expertise) and company performance that are assessed as return on equity (ROE) and return on asset (ROA). As one of the primary corporate governance mechanisms facilitating corporate efficiency, audit committees positively impact company performance.

Methodology: This quantitative cross-sectional study underpinned the agency theory through the target population: public listed companies under the Bursa Malaysia. Secondary data were gathered from the corporate annual report of 106 companies and Eikon database between 2018 and 2020 and subsequently analyzed with Pearson Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression using SPSS.

Findings: Resultantly, a positive gender diversity-size correlation was identified with company performance as opposed to meeting, independence, and expertise. Furthermore, a significant gender diversity-size relationship was determined with company performance while no substantial counterparts between (i) meeting and independence and (ii) expertise and company performance were identified for the selected public listed companies. In this vein, audit committee attributes (gender diversity and size) could be utilized as a mechanism for high company performance.

Contributions: The study outcomes offer useful insights into optimizing current corporate governance structures and regulations for relevant authorities.

Keywords: Audit committee, corporate governance, company performance, Malaysia.

BOOSTING LANGUAGE LEARNING WITH MCII STRATEGY: A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON SECONDARY STUDENTS
Authors: Yıldırım Sonay Caner- 
Published: July 2024

Background and Purpose: Foreign language learning has long been a topic of research, with pedagogical challenges frequently examined. While self-regulation is recognized as critical to student motivation and success, the effectiveness of specific self-regulatory strategies in foreign language learning merits further investigation. This study sought to explore the impact of a self-regulatory strategy, mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII), on the foreign language learning performance of secondary students.

Methodology: This quasi-experimental study involved 47 fifth-grade students attending a foreign language course at a secondary school. Participants were assigned to an MCII group (n=27) or a comparison group (n=20). The MCII group received instruction on identifying goals, envisioning the best outcome, anticipating obstacles, and creating plans to overcome them. The comparison group received instruction on identifying goals and envisioning the best outcome. Grade point averages in the English course from the first and second semesters were used as pre-test and post-test measures. A general linear model was used to analyse the data.

Findings: MCII group performed significantly better in the foreign language course at the end of the semester than the comparison group, with a medium effect size (η2p = .11). Participants in the MCII condition achieved higher GPA difference scores (M= 8.15, SD = 10.05) than those in the comparison condition (M= 2.82, SD= 6.17).
Contributions: MCII strategy fosters goal-directed behaviour, goal striving, and ultimately, goal achievement. Practitioners can create and use MCII forms tailored to students' grade levels to enhance their goal striving and achievement in foreign language learning.

Keywords: Foreign language learning, intervention, self-regulation, academic performance, quasi-experimental study.

Authors: Shun Han Kong , Abdul Rahman Abdul Rais , Tamby Chik Chemah , Jaafar Siti Nur’afifah 
Published: July 2024

Background and Purpose: The increase of mobile phone usage in Malaysia had contributed to the increasing habit of purchasing food through online food delivery (OFD) service platforms. Sensory marketing is a conceptual strategy that helps to appeal to human five senses. It is utilized as promotion made on social media using ads or attractive photos in order to attract customers to order food through the social media platform. This study aims to investigate the role of sensory marketing (sight and touch) and perceived benefits (convenience and product variety) to predict university students’ online food delivery (OFD) usage intention.

Methodology: Structural equation modelling is used to accomplish the objectives of this study with the analyses of 400 university students who were surveyed through Google form application.

Findings: The findings concluded that both sensory marketing and perceived benefits influence university students’ OFD usage intention. The strongest predictor of OFD usage intention among students is ‘touch’ element representing sensory marketing followed by convenience (perceived benefits), product variety (perceived benefits) and sight (sensory marketing).

Contributions: The findings contribute to the relevant literature by improving the knowledge of online food delivery (OFD) usage intention and it may be beneficial to the foodservice providers for continuous improvement of their business.

Keywords: Sensory marketing, perceived benefits, online food delivery app.

CHINESE HIGH-PERFORMING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ SELF-EFFICACY AND SELF-PRIDE IN LEARNING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Liu Meihua , Liu Junxia 
Published: July 2024

Background and Purpose: Both self-efficacy and self-pride play an important role in second/foreign language learning. Yet, they have seldom been researched simultaneously in the same context in relation to language learning. The current study aimed to examine Chinese high-performing university students’ English learning self-efficacy and self-pride and their predictive effects on the students’ English performance.

Methodology: 520 Chinese high-performing university students completed the 5-item Self-Pride Scale, the 3-item English Learning Self-Efficacy Scale and a background questionnaire, 14 of whom were interviewed.

Findings: Major findings were: a) the participants generally had a high level of English learning self-efficacy and self-pride, b) female students had significantly greater English learning self-efficacy and self-pride, c) English learning self-efficacy was significantly positively correlated with self-pride, d) both English learning self-efficacy and self-pride were significantly positively correlated with and predicted the students’ English performance, and e) the participants identified several causes for their English learning self-efficacy and self-pride.

Contributions: This study was one of the few that explored the relationship between English learning self-efficacy and self-pride and their predictive effects on students’ English performance. The findings thus provide insights for developing self-efficacy and self-pride in students to improve their learning of a second/foreign language.

Key words: Self-efficacy, self-pride, English performance.

DEALING WITH LANGUAGE VARIATION IN A SOURCE TEXT: MALAY SKETCHES AND ITS MALAY TRANSLATION
Authors: Haroon Haslina 
Published: July 2024

Background and Purpose: Although translation generally involves the transfer of meaning from the source language (L1) to the target language (L2), it may also involve a third language or L3, that is, any other language(s) found in either the source or target text. Language variation in a source text presents a challenge to translators, as they need to deal with both L1 and L3. This paper aims to explore the issue of language variation in a source text to see how L3 is rendered in translation. More specifically, the aim is to explore how L3 segments in French, Latin and Italian in a text in English entitled Malay Sketches are dealt with when the text is translated into Malay, and to determine the effects resulting from the solutions taken by the translators.

Methodology: L3 in Malay Sketches are first identified. These L3 segments are subsequently mapped to their counterparts in the Malay translation, Gelagat & Ragam Orang Melayu. This mapping results in source language-target language pairs, which are then analysed to determine the solutions taken by the translators. These solutions are categorised based on the framework of translation solutions in L3 translation by Corrius and Zabalbeascoa (2011).

Findings: It was found that L3 translation generally involves substitution in which L3 is translated into Malay. Consequently, language variation, a defining feature of the source text, becomes invisible in the Malay translation.

Contributions: This study hopes to contribute to and expand current discourse on L3 in translation, especially in view of the fact that scant attention had been paid to L3 translation in Malaysia.

Keywords: Malay Sketches, language variation, multilingual text, third language, translation.

SECURITISING HEALTH CRISES ON REGIONAL COOPERATION: HINDERING OR FACILITATING COOPERATION?
Authors: Mohd Azmi Nadirah 
Published: July 2024

The securitisation theory (ST) often gives rise to the debate on the positive and negative dimensions of security. ST is frequently quoted in this debate to explore what happens when threats are labelled as a security issue. The positive and negative points in the debate on ST are closely related to migration, environment, and health. However, like other international relations (IR) theories, the ST debate often fails to reflect the voices and experiences of different regional contexts. This article contributed to the securitisation debates by adding the perspectives and experiences of the Southeast Asia region by applying critical literature review analysis, using primary and secondary sources data collection. Although public health challenges are global phenomena, the way they are addressed may vary across geographical regions. The article reviews the consequences of securitising on contagious diseases in Southeast Asia as the region is often associated with distinctive political cultures that shape the governing norms. Securitisation has clearly made a positive impact on the health security cooperation in the region. Instead of encouraging state-centric thinking, the securitisation of health crises has prompted ASEAN countries to be more region-centric, ultimately challenging the regional norms that have historically obstructed cooperation across the nations.

Keywords: ASEAN, health security, regional cooperation, securitisation theory, Southeast Asia.

Aims
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is a rare and progressive cardiomyopathy caused by amyloid fibril deposition in myocardial tissue. Diagnostic challenges have historically hampered timely detection. Recent advances in noninvasive diagnostic techniques have facilitated ATTR-CA diagnosis. We aimed to examine the development of a regional network for the diagnosis and management of ATTR-CA and describe a cohort of patients with ATTR-CA, investigate diagnostic pathways and assess clinical outcomes according to diagnosis periods.

Methods
We performed a survey study analyzing answers from 11 cardiology centers and we conducted a retrospective study including patients with ATTR-CA attending a referral center between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2022, and categorized by the period of diagnosis (2012–2016 and 2017–2022).

Results
Over the years, a growing number of patients reached a diagnosis and were treated in the surveyed nonreferral centers of the region. The retrospective study showed a more significant diagnostic delay in the earlier period rather than the later one [13.4 (5–30.2) vs. 10.6 (5.0–17.9) months, P = 0.04]. Patients diagnosed after 2017 showed a greater survival rate than those diagnosed earlier (P = 0.02). In the multivariate analysis, the year of diagnosis from 2017 remained independently associated with mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 0.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28–0.79; P = 0.005].

Conclusion
This study emphasized the shift toward noninvasive diagnostic criteria. It revealed a positive impact on patient survival and disease management with the use of disease-modifying therapies and diagnostic developments in more recent years. The findings underscore the importance of disease awareness and networking to reduce diagnostic delays and enhance patient journeys for ATTR-CA.

Published: July 2024

Aims
Little research has investigated how sex may affect the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure (HF). The present study was aimed at exploring sex-specific differences in prognosis in a cohort of patients with chronic HF, categorized according to severity of left ventricular dysfunction (HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF), right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and ischemic (IHD) or nonischemic (no-IHD) etiology.

Methods
This retrospective analysis included 1640 HF patients of whom 24% were females, 759 patients had IHD, 1110 patients had HFrEF, 147 patients had HFmrEF and 383 patients had HFpEF. The median follow-up period was 63 months (25th–75th 27–93).

Results
In the no-IHD group, no statistically significant sex differences emerged regarding survival, regardless of age and severity of cardiac dysfunction. In contrast, in the IHD group, females had a significantly lower event rate than males in the age group between 65 and 79 years [hazard ratio (HR) 0.39; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.86–0.18; P < 0.01]; in addition, a lower event rate was observed in females compared with males among patients with HFrEF (HR 0.47; 95% CI: 0.88–0.25; P < 0.01), among patients without RV dysfunction (HR 0.58; 95% CI: 1.02–0.33; P = 0.048) and among patients without diabetes (HR 0.44; 95% CI: 0.84–0.23; P < 0.01).

Conclusion
In nonischemic patients there was no difference between males and females in terms of survival whereas in patients with ischemic etiology survival was better in females among elderly patients, in HFrEF patients, in the absence of RV dysfunction and in the absence of diabetes.
