Correlates of Safety Behaviour Among Retail Workers in Northern Malaysia: Management Commitment, Safety Training, Awareness, and Culture

Workplace accidents in the retail sector, though often less fatal than those in construction or manufacturing, continue to contribute significantly to non-permanent disabilities in Malaysia. Understanding the factors that shape retail workers’ safety behaviour is therefore essential for improving occupational safety in this sector. This study examines the correlations between management commitment, safety training, safety awareness, safety culture, and safety behaviour among retail workers in northern Malaysia. Safety behaviour was assessed through two dimensions: safety compliance and safety participation. Data were collected from 177 retail employees in Perlis and Kedah using a structured questionnaire consisting of 38 items measured on a five-point Likert scale. Descriptive analysis, normality tests, and Pearson correlation analysis were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 29. The findings revealed significant positive correlations between safety training and safety compliance, safety awareness and safety participation, as well as safety culture with both compliance and participation. In contrast, management commitment demonstrated weaker correlations with safety behaviour. These results highlight the importance of strengthening safety culture, training, and awareness initiatives in the retail sector, where accident rates remain concerning despite relatively low fatality levels. The study is limited by financial and time constraints, along with the restricted geographic scope. Future research is encouraged to expand to other regions and apply qualitative approaches for deeper insights.

Boundary Crossing Events and Potential Appropriation Space in Philosophy, Literature and General Knowledge

Teaching cultural elements, such as literary texts, pieces of music, films, sculptures, and other similar artefacts, is one of the educational aims of a school. As part of our past and present society, cultural elements are considered to be fundamental. At a social level, they belong to shared bodies of knowledge which might foster social cohesion; at the level of individuals, they are expected to play a fundamental role in the students— intellectual and emotional development and in their capacity to act as future citizens. In the present state-of-the-art, however, more research is needed into the way in which the cultural elements taught at school are used by students as resources for emotional elaboration and developmental processes.

Marketing and consuming flowers in the Ottoman Empire

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the marketing and consumption of flowers as a commodity from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century in the Ottoman context, a non-Western context, and to identify the specificities and similarities to the wider regional context with which it interacts. Design/methodology/approach – Through utilising secondary historical data a two-level analysis is conducted. The first level provides information on the institutional actors such as flower merchants, the state, the flower research institutes, market channels and popular culture and their practices. The second level of analysis concerns the flower consumer. Findings – The paper shows that flower consumption and marketing in an early modern non-Western context was not totally divergent from its “Western” counterparts which share the same regional context, i.e. the Mediterranean. As part of the late Renaissance Mediterranean world, the flower cultivator as a leisure-time consumer is reminiscent of the “Renaissance man”, characterised as someone who consumes science, aesthetics and writing in his leisure time. However, Ottoman markets diverge from their counterparts through the formation of an institution, similar to a modern-day accreditation institution, which had an active role in generating standards, brands and norms for the flower market. Research limitations/implications – The paper is mainly focussed on Istanbul, the capital of the empire and a large city by contemporary standards. Generalisation to the Ottoman context would require further studies. Originality/value – The paper is original because marketing and consumption in non-Western histories, such as the Ottoman context, have been a neglected area, mainly because of a tendency to locate progress and modernisation in early modern west.

Structures of Old English personal names

Abstract Chapter 7 turns to Old English personal names, which have structures analogous to common-word compound, complex and simplex ones. Like common-word compounds, dithematic names may undergo reduction and alteration of their phonological structure, as reflected in spellings. But the products are not structures analogous to reduced common words. This follows from the lack of sense relations. After activation, phonologically natural things happen to a name, but not because of loss of denotation. Like common words, dithematic names may reduce to simplex structures but, unlike a common-word compound, a dithematic name does not reduce to a derivationally complex, suffixed form. Moreover, coexisting full and reduced forms for dithematic names form part of the evidence for synchronic neutralization in names of such distinctions between lexical-item structures appropriate for common words. Loss over time of the full form affects the nature of the contents of an onomasticon.

The Influence of Internet on Organizational Structure and Its Evolution Trend

随着信息通信技术及互联网技术在企业经营实践中的广泛应用和高度渗透，互联网与传统实体经济融合形成了一种新的互联网经济生态。这种新的经济生态不仅改变了企业的交易运作流程，而且对企业的组织结构产生着深远的影响。本文在梳理相关文献的基础上，认为互联网环境使得企业组织结构扁平化、组织形式虚拟化和组织边界模糊化，提出组织结构将朝着“以优化用户体验为前提、以激活员工能力为目标、以内部创业为创新机制”的趋势演化。 With the extensive application and high penetration of information and communication technology and Internet technology in the enterprise management practice, the Internet has merged with the traditional real economy to form a new Internet economy. This new economic ecology has not only changed the flow of business transactions, but also has a profound impact on the organizational structure of enterprises. Based on the review of related literature, this paper argues that the Inter-net environment makes the organizational structure flat, the organizational form virtualization and the organizational boundaries fuzzy. It is proposed that the organizational structure will be evolved towards such a trend: To optimize the user experience as a precondition; To activate the ability of employees as the goal; To internal entrepreneurship as an innovative mechanism.

Neoliberal Mining amid El Niño Induced Drought in the Philippines

In recent years the government of the Philippines, acting in adherence to the principles of neoliberalism, has encouraged large-scale mining as a method of achieving economic development. The islands of the Philippines are, however, highly vulnerable to El Niño induced drought. Mining can interfere with groundwater resources, aggravate an El Niño induced drought, and deprive the rural poor of much needed water thus causing a disaster wherein a natural hazard impacts a vulnerable population. The possibility of mining adversely interacting with El Niño induced drought is aggravated by the deforestation of the Philippines and may well worsen due to anthropogenic climate change. Subjecting mining projects to environmental impact assessment and the mining industry’s purported use of best practices in environmental management appear to be ineffective methods for ameliorating the risks posed by mining amid El Niño induced drought. These risks have generated substantial civil society opposition to mining in the Philippines.

Changes in physical properties of extruded sour cassava starch and quinoa flour blend snacks Mudanças nas propriedades físicas de snacks extrusados de misturas de polvilho azedo e farinha de quinoa

Given the broad acceptance of sour cassava starch biscuits in Brazil and the nutritional quality of quinoa flour, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of extrusion temperature, screw speed, moisture, and amount of quinoa flour on the physical properties of puffed snacks. Extrusion process was carried out using a single-screw extruder in a factorial central composite design with four factors. Effects of moisture and amount of quinoa flour on the expansion index and specific volume of snacks were observed. There was a pronounced increase in water solubility index of blends with the extrusion process with significant effects of all process parameters on the WSI. Higher water absorption index (WAI) was observed under high temperature, low moisture, and lower quinoa flour amount. Temperature and amount of quinoa flour influenced the color of the snacks. A positive quadratic effect of quinoa flour on hardness of products was observed. Blends of sour cassava starch and quinoa flour have good potential for use as raw material in production of extruded snacks with good physical properties.&lt;br&gt;Dada a ampla aceitação do biscoito de polvilho azedo no Brasil e a qualidade nutricional da farinha de quinoa, este trabalho objetivou avaliar o efeito da temperatura de extrusão, rotação da rosca, umidade e porcentagem de farinha de quinoa sobre as propriedades físicas de snacks expandidos. O processo foi realizado em extrusor monorrosca, seguindo o delineamento central composto rotacional para quatro fatores. Foi observado o efeito da umidade e da porcentagem de farinha de quinoa sobre o índice de expansão e volume específico. Houve um aumento pronunciado na solubilidade das misturas com o processo de extrusão, com efeitos significativos de todos os parâmetros de processo no ISA. Maior índice de absorção de água (IAA) foi observado em alta temperatura, baixa umidade e menor porcentagem de farinha de quinoa. Temperatura e porcentagem de farinha de quinoa tiveram efeito sobre a cor dos produtos. Foi observado o efeito quadrático positivo de farinha de quinoa na mistura sobre a dureza dos produtos. Misturas de polvilho azedo e farinha de quinoa têm um bom potencial para utilização como matéria-prima na produção de snacks extrusados com boas propriedades físicas.

Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and PI 4-kinase binding to the CD4-p56lck complex: the p56lck SH3 domain binds to PI 3-kinase but not PI 4-kinase.

CD4 serves as a receptor for major histocompatibility complex class II antigens and as a receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral coat protein gp120. It is coupled to the protein-tyrosine kinase p56lck, an interaction necessary for an optimal response of certain T cells to antigen. In addition to the protein-tyrosine kinase domain, p56lck possesses Src homology 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3) domains as well as a unique N-terminal region. The mechanism by which p56lck generates intracellular signals is unclear, although it has the potential to interact with various downstream molecules. One such downstream target is the lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), which has been found to bind to activated pp60src and receptor-tyrosine kinases. In this study, we verified that PI 3-kinase associates with the CD4:p56lck complex as judged by the presence of PI 3-phosphate generated from anti-CD4 immunoprecipitates and detected by high-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis. However, surprisingly, CD4-p56lck was also found to associate with another lipid kinase, phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI 4-kinase). The level of associated PI 4-kinase was generally higher than PI 3-kinase activity. HIV-1 gp120 and antibody-mediated cross-linking induced a 5- to 10-fold increase in the level of CD4-associated PI 4- and PI 3-kinases. The use of glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins carrying Lck-SH2, Lck-SH3, and Lck-SH2/SH3 domains showed PI 3-kinase binding to the SH3 domain of p56lck, an interaction facilitated by the presence of an adjacent SH2 domain. PI 4-kinase bound to neither the SH2 nor the SH3 domain of p56lck. CD4-p56lck contributes PI 3- and PI 4-kinase to the activation process of T cells and may play a role in HIV-1-induced immune defects.

Resilient Inverter-Driven Black Start with Collective Parallel Grid-Forming Operation: Preprint

As the modern power systems are experiencing exceptional changes with increasing penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs), system restoration using IBRs has received attention. Using local grid-forming (GFM) assets near consumers, engineered to establish grid voltages in the absence of a stiff grid, i.e., bottom-up restoration, a distribution system would obtain high system resilience, by not relying on the bulk power system restoration requiring significant human intervention and procedure to restore. This paper studies the technical feasibility of the novel approach with detailed electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations. To thoroughly evaluate the potential of GFM inverters and technical challenges in IBR-driven black start, a detailed three-phase inverter model is developed, including negative-sequence control for voltage balance and a phase-by-phase current limiter to sustain momentary overloading during the black start. To examine dynamic aspects of the black start process, the EMT simulation also models transformer and motor dynamics to emulate their inrush and start-up behaviors as well as network dynamics. In addition, active involvement of grid-following distributed energy resources (DER) is also studied to facilitate the black start process. It is shown that, by allowing multiple GFM inverters to collectively black start without master-slave coordination, a system can achieve high resilience even with a fraction of assets lost. Two test cases of inverter-driven black start using two and one GFM inverters, respectively, for a heavily unbalanced 2-MVA distribution feeder are demonstrated. Takeaways for further study and field deployment are provided.

Public Relations and the Production of News: A Critical Review and Theoretical Framework

Because the source-reporter relationship forms the focal point of news gathering, it is a significant topic in the media sociology literature. Most of the source-reporter literature, however, focuses on the routines and values of the reporter. In this chapter the authors argue that public relations often sets the agenda for news media simply because the source in source-reporter interaction is often either a public relations practitioner or a practitioner's client. A three-section model explaining the role and impact of public relations in the news-gathering and news dissemination process is presented and used to organize a review of the literature. The source-reporter relationship section of the model includes studies of mutual assessments and power dynamics. The organizational section contains studies of practices and values in public relations, including ethics and professional values such as routines and news values. The societal section of the model covers studies pertaining to information subsidies and other influences on news media agendas, such as marketing pressures. A summary assessment of the source-reporter literature concludes that too much of the scholarly research has been merely descriptive. Theoretical directions are suggested to enrich public relations research and our understanding of public relations practice.

Qualitative analysis of coping strategies among mexican disaster survivors

This study describes the various coping strategies reportedly used by survivors after a disaster. Using unstructured interviews, 27 Mexicans (16 women, 11 men) were asked to recount how they coped with a specific disaster and its aftermath. Interviews were carried out in three cities: Guadalajara, Jalisco (n=10), Homestead, Florida (n=6) and Puerto Angel, Oaxaca (n=11). Guadalajara experienced a neighbourhood sewer explosion, whereas Homestead and Puerto Angel experienced Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Paulina, respectively. Analysis of common themes revealed seeking support, seeking meaning, problem solving, and avoidance as primary coping strategies in all three cities. Seeking support was the most commonly cited coping strategy. Seeking support may be a universal coping strategy for disaster survivors, whereas other coping strategies varied by context-specific factors such as type of disaster, resource availability, and stage of disaster recovery. Implications for future coping research and interventions are discussed.

MAINTAINABILITY OF BAHASA MALAYSIA BY MALAYSIAN STUDENTS IN MEDAN

The background of this research was how Malaysian students maintain their Malaysian language in Medan even when they were far from their language domain. When a certain language speaker moved to other area which use different language and interact with them, they tend to adopt that new language. The objectives of this study wire to find what factors that induce maintainability of Malaysian language by Malaysian students in Medan, and how is the maintainability of Malaysian language realized by Malaysian students in Medan and also why the maintainability of Malaysian language is the way it does. This research used descriptive research by giving the Malaysian students a questionnaire and interviewing them. There were 21 Malaysian students as informants, 16 men and 5 women. It was found that the maintainability happened because Malaysian students were living in group, so they still use Malaysian language regularly. Even when they were far from Malaysian language domain, they still accessed Malaysian language media such as music, news, TV, radio etc regularly and still active in chatting application with their friends who are still living in Malaysia and use Malaysian language. They realized they maintainability of Malaysian language by joining Malaysian community, where many Malaysian students gather and speak in Malay, they also have good language attitude towards Malaysian language. Those happened because when they lived in a foreign environment they tried to find other Malaysian students to fell like home. That makes them living together with other Malaysian students in group.

Snow avalanches are the predominant hazards in winter in high elevation mountains. They cause damage to both humans and assets but cannot be accurately predicted. Until now, only local maps to estimate snow avalanche risk have been produced. Here we show how remote sensing can accurately inventory large avalanches every year at a basin scale using a 32-yr snow index derived from Landsat satellite archives. This Snow Avalanche Frequency Estimation (SAFE) built in an open-access Google Engine script maps snow hazard frequency and targets vulnerable areas in remote regions of Afghanistan, one of the most data-limited areas worldwide. SAFE correctly detected of the actual avalanches identified on Google Earth and in the field (Probability of Detection 0.77 and Positive Predictive Value 0.96). A total of 810,000 large avalanches occurred since 1990 within an area of 28,500 km2 with a mean frequency of 0.88 avalanches/km2yr−1, damaging villages and blocking roads and streams. Snow avalanche frequency did not significantly change with time, but a northeast shift of these hazards was evident. SAFE is the first robust model that can be used worldwide and is capable of filling data voids on snow avalanche impacts in inaccessible regions.

Determinants and reference values for blood volume and total hemoglobin mass in women and men

Abstract Blood volume (BV) is an important clinical parameter and is usually reported per kg of body mass (BM). When fat mass is elevated, this underestimates BV/BM. One aim was to study if differences in BV/BM related to sex, age, and fitness would decrease if normalized to lean body mass (LBM). The analysis included 263 women and 319 men (age: 10–93 years, body mass index: 14–41 kg/m 2 ) and 107 athletes who underwent assessment of BV and hemoglobin mass (Hb mass ), body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness. BV/BM was 25% lower (70.3 ± 11.3 and 80.3 ± 10.8 mL/kg BM ) in women than men, respectively, whereas BV/LBM was 6% higher in women (110.9 ± 12.5 and 105.3 ± 11.2 mL/kg LBM ). Hb mass /BM was 34% lower (8.9 ± 1.4 and 11.5 ± 11.2 g/kg BM ) in women than in men, respectively, but only 6% lower (14.0 ± 1.5 and 14.9 ± 1.5 g/kg LBM )/LBM. Age did not affect BV. Athlete's BV/BM was 17.2% higher than non‐athletes, but decreased to only 2.5% when normalized to LBM. Of the variables analyzed, LBM was the strongest predictor for BV ( R 2 = .72, p &lt; .001) and Hb mass ( R 2 = .81, p &lt; .001). These data may only be valid for BV/Hb mass when assessed by CO re‐breathing. Hb mass /LBM could be considered a valuable clinical matrix in medical care aiming to normalize blood homeostasis.
