This study used the Bicultural Identity Integration Scale-2 (BIIS-2). In-depth interviews were used to achieve all of the objectives of this study. This article focused only on the outcome of bicultural identity integration, namely the level of ethnic identity trends and how Bawean negotiates with other Malay cultures. Five findings were identified. First, the results of the analysis revealed that the majority of informants see themselves as Malays due to their religion which is Islam where they know how to act as Malaysian citizens. Second, the majority of informants do not feel entrapped between Bawean and Malay culture because of the willingness of Bawean people to deal with cultural diversity. Third, there are many cultural similarities which make the majority of the informants feel they have no conflict about having two cultures. Fourth, it is surprising that the majority of informants have low self-Malay feelings because of the very strong bond within the ethnic group itself. Finally, the fact that there is a positive need for each other about culture explains why the majority of informants did not abandon Bawean culture for Malay culture. The results of this study showed that informants are able to respond to the development of nation-state processes in a national context. The identity of Bawean people which is one of the sub-ethnic categories in Malay is still at a good level and can be enhanced since they are believers of Islam which is compulsory for them to be categorised as Malay. This clearly shows their effort to integrate with Malay people.

The change in shoreline is a continuous process that occurs through various processes such as erosion, sedimentation, sea level rise, wave behaviour and land use. Rapid technological advancement has made it possible to quickly identify the shoreline changes through a combination of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) application and Remote Sensing technology. The current study aims to identify the criteria or characteristics of the coastal areas and identify the risks for potential hazards in the coastal areas of Selangor. The data used in this study are the topographic maps produced in 1984 and SPOT 5 satellite images taken in 2013. The results of this study show that the estimated total area of erosion is 2,558 hectares and the total area of accretion is 2,583 hectares. The areas in Pasangan, Tanjong Karang, Api-Api, Bagan Nakhoda Omar, Jeram, Pasir Panjang, Hujong Permatang, Kuala Selangor and Panchang Bedena are categorized as critical erosion areas. Risk assessment analysis was done to identify the risk levels of coastal erosion hazards. Results indicate that the risk level for human, social and economic components is low while the level for infrastructure components ranges between low and moderate. However, the risk for coastal erosion hazards for the environment is high.

Besides, engineers are important in creating wealth and they assist the nation in becoming an active player in the global market. They possess special knowledge and expertise and are known to be driven to climb the career ladder. However, sometimes the engineers’ vision, ambition, goals, and expectations do not align with those of their employers. As a result, the conflict between being ambitious and the work demand structured by employers has affected engineers’ well-being (WB). In this study, the effect between protean career orientation (PCO) [self-directed (SD) and values-driven (VD)] and individual WB [career satisfaction (CS) and psychological WB (PWB)] was investigated using a sample of 261 male and 126 female professional engineers (PEs) with the mean age of 42 years old. The research model was examined via the protean career theory. Partial least square (PLS) regression findings revealed that PCO (VD) positively influenced CS. Besides, PCO (SD) also positively affected PWB. Based on the findings, this research suggests that organisations perform necessary amendment to the PEs’ key performance areas, for them to know that their goals and expectations are parallel with their employers’. Moreover, employers need to offer opportunities and allow the PEs to maximally utilise their skills or to grow their abilities to full potential. Consequently, PEs will have an increased level of CS and PWB.

The utilization of energy use is based on the Cobb-Douglas production theory. Nevertheless, several factors affecting energy use in paddy production include fuel for running machinery, electricity for irrigation, fertiliser for improving soil fertility, pesticides for pest control, and planting seeds. Albeit the relationship between energy use and agricultural productivity is well examined in the literature, the results are mixed. Some studies argue that higher energy use tends to higher agricultural productivity, while others found that energy use efficiency leads to higher productivity. This study investigates farmers’ socioeconomic status in paddy production based on the statistical analysis of paddy productivity, farmers’ income, and production cost in Malaysia’s MADA granary areas. Besides, it utilizes the Energy Analysis approach to analyze energy efficiency based on inputs use selected by farmers. The results show that the harvested area does not affect the farmers’ income, while productivity positively affects farmers’ income. Production costs are not influenced by socioeconomic variables such as ownership and harvested area as they depend on farmers’ willingness to pay for inputs. The energy efficiency in MADA is 6.35, which indicates that farmers can obtain at least six times larger paddy productivity compared to the inputs used in production activities.

Therefore, the study was conducted to examines the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) of the four sub-watersheds of Kaduna watershed north-central Nigeria to aid the dam sustainability and BMP within the watershed. Water samples were collected bimonthly for 8 months (March-October 2018) and subjected to laboratory analysis for SSC and turbidity measurements. With the aid of ArcSwat2012, the watershed was delineated into four sub-watersheds, soil and land-use were classified for a proper understanding of the watershed. The findings demonstrated an inverse relationship between the size of the sub-watersheds and SSC. The smallest Dinya sub-watershed (1%) contributes approximately 25% (3781.5mg/l) of the SSC while the largest Kaduna (80%) contributes approximately 26% (3889mg/l), Sarkinpawa (11%) and Gutalu (8%) contributes approximately 26% (3844mg/l) and 23% (3444mg/l) of SSC respectively. The highest average turbidity was recorded in Sarkinpawa sub-watershed, followed by Dinya, Gutalu, and Kaduna. The SSC and turbidity results followed the rainfall pattern while the regression results for the four sub-watersheds shows a good level of linearity between SSC, rainfall and turbidity, Therefore, it is recommended that sediment management practice is to be carried out along sub-watersheds Dinya and Sarkinpawa and Gutalu to reduce the high rate of sediment influx into the reservoir from these smaller sub-watersheds. Also, detail study of the smaller sub-watersheds is highly recommended for a better understanding of the factors responsible for high sediment generation in these sub-watersheds.

However, there is limited available research on this issue in Malaysian context. Scholars raise the possibility that differences across racial and ethnic groups are due to differences in historical experiences and cultural background, which may condition the symbolic meanings of daily activities. This possibility remains under-researched in Malaysia. This study examines the gendered experiences of division of household labour among Malay and Chinese couples in Malaysia and reasons given for it. A qualitative semi-structured interview was conducted with 30 respondents (18 women and 12 men) in Malaysia. The respondents consist of 15 Malays and 15 Chinese. The interview findings suggest there are three themes emerged related to the familial influences on couples’ domestic behaviours: (1) the way female interviewees see their father’s and brothers’ attitude towards housework influencing their expectation of their spouse, (2) the way female interviewees see their mother’s attitude towards housework influencing their own attitudes, and (3) the way male interviewees were expected by their mothers to engage in housework. These findings suggest that parents are influential in shaping their children’s attitudes and therefore their contribution to housework tasks after they form their own families. It also indicates the importance of ethnic identity in influencing the way couple engage in and share housework.

There are two youth development assets that influence the ability of graduates to start a business, known as the individual asset and the ecological asset. This research seeks to explore the ecological assets which influence the ability of graduates to start a business based on their entrepreneurial experiences. This research is a qualitative single case study research using purposive sampling. A total of 12 graduate entrepreneurs from the Tunas Mekar Project had been chosen as the research informants. Research data has been collected through the conduct of in-depth and semi-structured interviews, non-formal observations and document analysis, in which the data were later analysed using the Atlas.ti (Version 8) computer software. The findings of the research showed that social network support, monetary network support, and a positive entrepreneurship ecosystem have helped graduates to start a business after they participated in the Tunas Mekar Project. It is observed that all three assets have helped to increase the capacity of the graduates to overcome the challenges in initiating a business. Thus, everyone has to play a role in increasing and strengthening the entrepreneurship potential within the graduates.
