The questionnaire was validated using Cronbach's alpha (0.946) and distributed online socio-demographic and ESA questions. The data was collected and analysed by using IBM SPSS version 23. Result: 70.5% of respondents was female and 7.5% of the respondents in this survey was mature students (>25 years old). Respondents had average ESA towards VL during this MCO period (mean = 2.79, 2.86, 2.50). Gender, age, faculty, year of study and mode of study were not significantly associated to experience and satisfaction towards blended learning. However, age and mode of study were significantly associated towards the attitude in VL (p<0.05). There was also correlation between experience and satisfaction (r = 0.721, p < 0.01), experience, and attitude (r = 0.575, p < 0.01) and satisfaction and attitude (r = 0.507, p < 0.01). The main challenge in VL that students reported is lacking good internet connection, which dampened the learning process. Conclusion: Our results shown student had average ESA towards VL. There is a need to offer affordable high-speed internet and to instil active learning with gadget among students in Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":340986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Science","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121720100","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}

Research has indicated that decision makers in the food industry do not perceive food waste as a problem nor intend to tackle it. Thus, the aim of this research is to determine perceptions on food waste, to study intentions on food waste mitigation and food surplus management practices as well as to study about food waste management practices among casual dining restaurant managers in Shah Alam. Using convenience sampling and a self-administered online questionnaire, 113 (N) casual dining restaurant managers were given the survey. Using descriptive statistics, the results revealed that the mean score for perceptions ranges from 4.13 - 4.72 (high - very high agreement level), indicating that food waste is perceived as an issue. Mean scores ranging from 4.01 - 4.6 (high - very high agreement level) and 3.95 - 4.26 (high - very high agreement level) were obtained for intentions on food waste mitigation and food surplus management practices respectively, indicating that there are intentions for both aspects. The findings also revealed that food waste management practices are being done by the majority as the mean score obtained ranges from 3.84 - 4.69 (high - very high agreement level). The findings highlighted that food waste is perceived as an issue and that there are intentions to tackle it. This was reflected in the practices which are being done to manage food waste and surplus. Nevertheless, it is recommended that the effectivity of food waste management practices be measured to determine the extent to which it actually aids in mitigating waste, since food waste is still a major issue in the restaurant industry.","PeriodicalId":340986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Science","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133387260","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}

It is the fight-or-flight response to challenges in the world. This natural reaction has specific physical effects on the body to better handle these challenges. Among university students, stress is ubiquitous. They face stress throughout their education journey that may affect their academic achievement with other effects such as mental disturbance, suicidal thoughts and more. This research studies the stressors and measures the stress levels among medical students in a private Malaysian university. The data were collected through an online questionnaire based on the Medical Students Stressors Questionnaire (MSSQ) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The results of MSSQ show that verbal or physical abuse by other students, parental wish to study medicine and not enough medical skill practice are those factors that cause no stress to the respondents. In contrast, the factors that cause mild stress are self-expectation (40%), conflict with personnel (20%), lack of guidance from the teacher (34.3%), feeling incompetence (30%), lack of time for family and friends (30%), learning content full of competition (35.7%) and lack of teaching skills from teachers (27.1%). Mild stressors include examinations (32.9%), talking to patients about problems (47.1%), conflict with other students (28.7%), quota system in examinations (32.9%), not enough study material (25.7%), participation in class discussion (24.3%), falling behind in reading schedule (31.4%), participation in class presentation (35.7%) and uncertainty of what is expected of themselves (32.9%). The major stressor is having a heavy workload (32.9%). According to GHQ, the mild stressors include the inability to overcome difficulty (28.6%), inability to enjoy regular day activity (30%), facing up to problems (30%), feeling unhappy or depressed (30%) and losing confidence (28.6%).

Even so, as a direct consequence of physical impairment, traumatic amputation, as well as other structural deformities or neuromuscular disablement, a few patients referred for lung function assessment cannot stand. Materials and methods: The study involved 202 participants and consist of two elements that are data collection and data analysis. There were four types of data: standing height measurement, arm span measurement, sitting height measurement and predicted pulmonary function, including forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV1), which was studied based on correlational analysis. Results: The study shows a positive, linear solid correlation between arm span and standing height measure in centimetre with an R-value of 0.919. There is a positive moderate linear correlation between arm span and sitting height measure in centimetre with an R-value of 0.604. Sitting height and standing height has a positive, strong linear correlation with an R-value of 0.744. For the pulmonary function test, a positive, strong linear correlation between Forced Vital Capacity prediction using sitting height and Forced Vital Capacity prediction using standing height with an R-value of 0.710. There was a positive moderate linear correlation between Forced Expiratory Volume prediction using sitting height and Forced Expiratory Volume prediction using standing height with an R-value of 0.577.
