Food waste has reached alarming proportions, with approximately one-third of all food produced going to waste (FAO, 2014; Gustavsson et al., 2011). Food waste accounts for 20% of all food produced in the European Union(EU), costing 143 billion EUR annum (Stenmarck et al., 2016). A study was done by Future Directions International (FDI) in 2016 found that 25% of the globe's food waste happens in South and Southeast Asia. Food waste prevention at the source must be the main priority. Still, the EU's food waste hierarchy puts redistribution of surplus food for human consumption as the second-best option when food waste cannot be avoided (European Commission, 2020). Some Southeast Asia countries managed 64% of avoidable food waste by redistributing it to those in need (Tech Collective, 2019). Most food waste is managed via lower-priority methods, including composting, incineration, or landfill (European Comission, 2020; Eurostat, 2020; Obersteiner et al., 2021). Redistribution of surplus food or food donation to a marginalised community can be advantageous. Aside from the environmental, economic and social benefits, using the food for its intended purpose preserves its energy and nutrient content. Furthermore, surplus food redistribution is increasingly recognised to address food insecurity and food waste (Schneider, 2013). In Malaysia, the government is concerned with redistributing surplus food operated by a food bank or charity organisation via donations from the food retail industry (Hamik et al., 2021).\u0000\u0000\u0000Keywords: Redistribution, Surplus Food, Food Donor, Government Policy and Practices","PeriodicalId":340394,"journal":{"name":"13th GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON BUSINESS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125567874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thai SMEs constitute a major source of employment, generate significant earnings, and contribute to the country's gross domestic product (GDP). Accordingly, the 4th SME Promotion Master Plan (2017-2021) has put a significant emphasis on upgrading Thai SMEs and increasing their growth potential. However, Thai SMEs still have problems and limitations, for instance, almost all are small enterprises, few medium enterprises, management system limitations, only a minority of SMEs able to compete in the international market, and a continuous trade deficit. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has further the slowdown in the economic growth of SMEs. (The Office of SMEs Promotion, 2022). Therefore, SMEs need to continuously improve and develop organizational performance to compete in the domestic and international markets. It is important to understand how SMEs can continue to grow and compete in the markets. Previous research in the business management literature indicates that there are several factors that account for the development of SMEs including CEO Attributes, leadership styles, and human resource management. Recent research also reveals that in order to survive the new normal imposed by COVID-19 and the market competition, several SMEs have adopted technical innovation and marketing and processes innovation (Akpan et al., 2020; El Chaarani et al., 2021).\u0000\u0000\u0000Keywords: Entrepreneurial Leadership; Intellectual Capital; Innovation; Organizational Performance","PeriodicalId":340394,"journal":{"name":"13th GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON BUSINESS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES","volume":"326 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122333509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common psychiatric illness that can be diagnosed among students is depression. The study's goal was to evaluate the relationship between stress, depression, and anxiety and coping techniques among university students. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic, DASS-21 and Brief-COPE inventory were used. Results: The study comprised 108 university students ranging in age from 19 to 74 years old. Depression is connected to acceptance, venting, behavioural disengagement, and self-blame. Acceptance, religion, denial, venting, behavioural disengagement, and self-blame are all correlated to anxiety. Stress is associated with acceptance, self-distraction, denial, venting, behavioural disengagement, and self-blame. Conclusion: Maladaptive coping methods such venting, behavioural disengagement, and self-blame have a major impact on university students' stress, anxiety, and depression levels. A deeper knowledge of the underlying influence of coping strategies on stress, depression, and anxiety among university students during Covid-19 outbreak will be gained through this study, allowing for early intervention and improved outcomes.\u0000\u0000\u0000Keywords: Psychiatric disorders; Stress; Depression; Anxiety; Student; Coping styles","PeriodicalId":340394,"journal":{"name":"13th GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON BUSINESS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116695626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This regulation is derived from Act No.11/2020 regarding the employment creation. INA is formed to build wealth for future generations and contribute to Indonesia's sustainable economic development. The objective of INA is to support national economic recovery by attracting foreign investment in providing funding for various key sector projects. INA offers 8 key investment sectors, namely: Infrastructure, Supply Chain and Logistic, Digital Infrastructure, Green Investing, Healthcare, Financial Service, Consumer and Technology, Tourism. The capital sources of INA are formed from state budget (APBN) in 2020 as much as Rp. 15 Trillion (US$ 1.05 billion), from state-owned enterprises (BRI and Mandiri Bank) as much as Rp. 60 trillion (US$ 4.5 billion). It is expected that INA will continue its growth through investor partnership to reach agreement of additional US$ 20 billion fund in the near future (http://www.ina.go.id). Prior to establishing Indonesian Investment Authority (INA), Government of Indonesia has formed various different kind of investment agencies, namely: Pengelola Investasi Pemerintah (PIP) established in 2007, PT. Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero) established in 2009, Indonesia Infrastructure Finance (IIF) established in 2010. They were primarily devoted to foster infrastructure development in Indonesia. The development of infrastructure in Indonesia is aiming to improve the standard of living as stipulated by social development goal (SDG), to improve infrastructure competitiveness as one of main component for national competitiveness and also to promote national economic growth.

Shahar, Adilah Azhari","doi":"10.35609/gcbssproceeding.2022.1(72)","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35609/gcbssproceeding.2022.1(72)","url":null,"abstract":"In 2017, the Malaysian government through Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) has stipulated that all oil palm growers in Malaysia must obtain Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification to ensure the sustainability of the palm oil industry in Malaysia. To help oil palm growers, especially independent smallholders, the government offers various incentives such as financial support and advisory services to them to ensure that they obtain MSPO certification. If this certification is not met, they will not be able to sell palm oil to the mills. Malaysia's Prime Minister declared mandatory MSPO certification implementation, and all oil palm grower were granted a grace period until 31 December 2019. However, according to the most recent data, only 31 percent of independent smallholders were certified as of December 2020. The impact of not having MSPO certification is significant, resulting in poor quality of life and remaining below the poverty line among independent smallholders. Based on the facts stated above, it is crucial to identify the factors that contribute to independent smallholders' low degree of certified ownership. Previous research has mostly focused on the factors that influence MSPO certification ownership among organized smallholders (See Shahida et al.(2018) and Begum et al. (2018)) and there is still a scarcity of research on independent smallholders. Ni et.al. (2016) revealed that awareness of MSPO is weak among independent smallholders where 97.5% of the survey respondent do not know about sustainable palm oil and 86.7% do not know about MSPO certification. This study further notes that the most important factors reported for the implementation of MSPO are the perceived advantages of the certification and policy support for the implementation of MSPO certification. Therefore, this study focuses on the independent smallholders and will look at how awareness, sustainability practices, and socio-demographic characteristics influence certification or non-certification among independent smallholders.\u0000\u0000\u0000Keywords: MSPO certification, Independent smallholders, Sustainability, Palm oil industry","PeriodicalId":340394,"journal":{"name":"13th GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON BUSINESS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134439300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
