Quantitative data was collected through surveys and qualitative data was collected through in-depth interviews with leaders in the education and culture offices, health department, public health centre staff, elementary school principals, teachers, students, parents and canteen staff. The research findings revealed that the stunting prevention program DNLCSL was an innovative nutrition campaign. The DNLCSL Programme was implemented as an alternative to nutrition education to help elementary school students consume nutritious and well-balanced food. The planning and organizing phases have been completed but the implementation and monitoring processes should be improved. It was found that there were changes concerning lunch boxes and snacking habits in the elementary schools that consistently implemented the program. This research implies that more widespread implementation is needed as the DNLCSL programme can improve students' knowledge, attitudes and dietary habits which can indirectly prevent stunting. The involvement of the government, education and health agencies and community collaboration are also needed to keep the programme sustainable.","PeriodicalId":36807,"journal":{"name":"Humanities and Social Sciences Letters","volume":"21 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141815367","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}

Lack of dedication, decreased communication and poor family connection describe inadequate family support. In addition to parental support, self-efficacy, employer support and community support have been shown to promote addiction and relapse. Substance addiction among youth is alarming and could harm the next generation if not handled. Thus, family and parents strongly impact teenage drug usage. Drug dependence prevention begins with parents. Parents affect their children by offering advice, setting explicit drug use restrictions and emphasizing good communication skills as part of their commitment. Thus, this study aims to determine the significance of family participation particularly parental involvement in reducing juvenile substance addiction in Malaysia. We use Hirshi's social bond theory to link a parent's willingness to participate in a drug prevention programme to their social bonding which includes their attachment, devotion and academic involvement. Additionally, proportionate sampling was used for stratified sampling. Two criteria were used to choose participants: parents with children aged 13–18 and drug-free families. The survey has 515 respondents, 103 per state: Kelantan, Kedah, Kuala Lumpur/Selangor, Johor and Sabah. NADA lists it in high-risk states. Study results indicate that attachment (ATT) and participation (INV) do not affect interest (INT). The study also found that commitment (COM) affects interest (INT). Additionally, the commitment (COM) f² value has a minor impact on interest (INT), an endogenous variable. Agencies must collaborate and exchange resources to promote drug awareness and a drug-free family culture.","PeriodicalId":36807,"journal":{"name":"Humanities and Social Sciences Letters","volume":"52 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141814942","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 study focuses on examining the extent and symptoms of post-traumatic stress as well as the causes associated with it, the techniques employed to respond and the effectiveness of coping mechanisms among healthcare professionals who are providing care to COVID-19 patients in certain hospitals located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This research used a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative research techniques. This included documentary analysis, surveys, mathematical and statistical analysis and in-depth interviews. The sample consisted of 638 healthcare workers aged between 21 and 63 working at Cho Ray Hospital and the COVID-19 Resuscitation Unit. The results suggest that a majority of healthcare professionals display indications of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) ranging from occasional mild episodes occurring once a month to more severe occurrences exceeding 17 times per month. The research findings indicate that coping techniques show high individualization. While certain healthcare professionals may exhibit \"normal\" levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), effectively managing stress through rest, relaxation and personal time, others with varying degrees of PTSD necessitate professional therapeutic assistance to mitigate the risk of self-harm. This study highlights the pressing necessity for the provision of focused mental health assistance to healthcare personnel in light of the current epidemic.","PeriodicalId":36807,"journal":{"name":"Humanities and Social Sciences Letters","volume":"3 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141816602","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}

Undernutrition still contributes to child deaths in Nigeria, and health financing with regards to having health insurance, is yet to become a reality for many households. Despite several studies on the determinants of undernutrition, there remains the need for an examination of the effect of health financing, with a focus on health insurance. Using the NDHS, this study examined the effect of health insurance on the probability of child stunting and wasting. A limited dependent variable model was estimated using the maximum likelihood estimator; capturing urban and rural differentials, and an interaction model. The findings demonstrated a significant reduction in the likelihood of stunting in children both at national level and among rural households with health insurance. However, it significantly reduced the likelihood of wasting in children only among rural households. Not having a health insurance coverage, which was the case for a greater proportion of women, was found to significantly increase stunting, even among educated women; reduce wasting only if a woman is from a rich household; and increase wasting among rural households. Therefore, developing and implementing policies geared towards promoting wider and more inclusive health insurance coverage is important for improving child nutritional status and, consequently, the health status of children.","PeriodicalId":36807,"journal":{"name":"Humanities and Social Sciences Letters","volume":"15 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141815760","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}

We use the Theory of Planned Behavior to examine the intention to adopt financial technology in a rapidly technologically transformative Indian landscape. We conducted an empirical investigation on 324 young workers in India using the survey method. The TPB model's relevance in an Indian context is validated. Attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms together accounted for 48.7% of the variation in the intention to use fintech services. The quality of internet access significantly moderated the positive effect of young workers' attitudes on their intention to use fintech. Digital skills significantly moderated the positive effects of attitude and perceived behavioral control on intentions to use fintech services. India is considered a very fast adopter of digital technology. In India, the use of electronic channels in financial service delivery is on the rise. With the wide geographic dispersion and huge population, the quality of internet access and digital skills can influence the intention to use fintech services. There can be vast differences in the behavioral mindset of people in a developing country like India compared to that of a developed one regarding the use and adoption of digital platforms for accessing financial services. Developers and regulators must adopt approaches and policies that consider these behavioral factors. This paper examines the Theory of Planned Behaviour in the context of a rapidly transforming behavioural context in India with the adoption of technology-based financial services. The importance of quality internet access and digital skills as factors moderating the adoption of technology is examined in this paper, unlike many previous studies.","PeriodicalId":36807,"journal":{"name":"Humanities and Social Sciences Letters","volume":"39 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141663500","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}

Survey research with quantitative study methodology was applied, and a structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. The effects of organizational citizenship behavior and emotional intelligence on psychological well-being of IT-enabled employees were assessed. The mediating and moderating effects of emotional intelligence on the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and psychological well-being were assessed. The assessed Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, which ranged from 0.79 to 0.91, indicates the questionnaire maintained its reliability and internal consistency. The SEM analysis results revealed excellent model fit, and the impact of OCB and EI on psychological well-being was statistically significant (p<0.001) on the IT-enabled industry employees. Furthermore, EI partially mediated psychological well-being through the OCB of information technology employees. The slope analysis reveals that emotional intelligence strengthens the positive association between the OCB and the PWB of IT-enabled sector employees. EI and OCB enhance PWB and employee performance. The study's conclusions can be utilized to create employee promotion plans for OCB and EI, which have several significant ramifications for IT companies. Therefore, the organizations should try to enhance the EI and OCB of employees and develop a supportive culture within the organizations.

Application penetration in the mobile ecosystem has become popular as an online-to-offline (O2O) service that applies the convenience of online services to offline reality. Therefore, this study aims to develop a comprehensive model of online store image based on the continuous usage intention of consumers in online-to-offline meal applications. This study uses Pleasure, Arousal, and Dominance (PAD) theory as an adapted model of the organism stimuli, and response framework. The design of the study uses a quantitative research approach and adapts research instruments from previous research. This study focuses on five variables. It consists of Online Store Image, Pleasure, Arousal, Dominance, and continuous purchasing—the indicators obtained from previous studies. This study collected data in 2023, when the World Health Organization (WHO) revoked COVID-19 status. There are 260 responses collected. The result indicates that online store image affects pleasure, arousal, and dominance, as the emotions stimulated by this study show that pleasure and dominance emotions positively and significantly impact continuous purchase intention. The study’s practical implication suggests that the potential for boosting sustained purchasing intention exists when consumers experience feelings of happiness and sense of dominance. So, this study suggests the provider must increase their online presence to create an excellent online store’s image. If the online store’s image is good, consumers' pleasure, arousal, and dominance emotions will increase.","PeriodicalId":36807,"journal":{"name":"Humanities and Social Sciences Letters","volume":"38 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141714069","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}

We utilize the ARDL bounds testing approach to explore the relationship between remittances and economic growth, incorporating control variables and addressing structural breaks. Our findings suggest that the structural change in economic growth occurred in 2008 during the global financial crisis, while the break point for remittances emerged in 1997. After taking into consideration the presence of structural breaks, our study found the estimated coefficient for remittances to be statistically significant at the 1% level of significance. The coefficient is negative, indicating that remittances have a negative impact on economic growth. This result is robust to alternative estimators, including the fully modified least squares technique and the impulse response function. Despite employing different estimation methods, the consistent finding of a negative relationship between remittance inflows and economic growth underscores the reliability of our conclusion. Being a recipient of remittances, it is appropriate for a study of this nature to guide policy makers in formulating appropriate policies to benefit from the full impact of remittances, diversify the economy, and reduce reliance on remittance inflows.","PeriodicalId":36807,"journal":{"name":"Humanities and Social Sciences Letters","volume":"53 52","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140701262","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}
