The theoretical foundation of the research is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which provides a framework for understanding the relationship. The study collected data from a convenience sample of 718 respondents. The instruments contain 14 questions, using a 5-point Likert scale format. This research used Smart PLS for data analysis, revealing a significant positive correlation between emotional experience and purchase intention. Furthermore, the results show that the type of food choice influences the relationship between emotional experience and nasi lemak purchase intention, underscoring the role of food choice as a moderator. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the TPB and its applicability in the context of food consumption behavior, highlighting the importance of the relationship between emotional experiences and cognitive determinants of behavior. The results have implications for marketers, policymakers, and other stakeholders seeking to promote healthier food choices and develop targeted interventions. By recognizing the influence of emotional experiences and the moderating role of food choice, stakeholders can design more effective strategies to encourage consumers to make informed and positive dietary decisions. This study sets a significant research agenda for future research in the domain of consumer behavior related to nasi lemak consumption, particularly in unraveling the mechanisms governing health risk perceptions and their influence on consumer behavior within the Malaysian culinary context.","PeriodicalId":506447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Scientific Research","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141809994","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}

Employing a descriptive survey methodology, the primary data collection tool consists of questionnaires administered to 427 secondary school teachers in Riyadh. The findings reveal a notable average agreement level (mean score of 4.43) among participants concerning the identified prerequisites for implementing AI. Notably, students' requirements scored the highest (average of 4.51), followed closely by those for teachers (average of 4.48), the educational environment (average of 4.46), and educational content (average of 4.25). Each category demonstrates consistently high importance. Gender-based analysis indicates no statistically significant difference in determining prerequisites, except for those expected from teachers and the educational environment, which garnered preference from female educators. Similarly, no statistically significant variance emerged in the identification of prerequisites based on major. Regarding teaching experience, no statistically significant difference was found in determining prerequisites, except for requirements related to the educational environment, where educators with 10-15 years of experience exhibited a preference. The study concludes that qualification does not significantly impact the determination of prerequisites for AI in secondary education. This study offers useful insights into the perspectives and requirements of educators, providing detailed knowledge of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into secondary education in Saudi Arabia. It highlights important factors that need to be considered for the effective deployment of AI in education.","PeriodicalId":506447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Scientific Research","volume":"205 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140740438","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}

Corporations need to be innovative to create value, and this entails the need for corporations to embark on research and development (R&D) endeavors. This study’s objective is to determine the impact of Malaysian publicly listed companies’ board diversity (qualification, gender, and age) on the intensity of companies’ R&D investment. In conjunction with the 2017 Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance’s, which took on a new approach that promotes board diversity in corporate governance culture, samples were selected from the Minority Shareholders Watch Group ’s Malaysia: List of Top 100 Companies Overall CG & Performance (By Rank) from 2017-2019, which portrayed good corporate governance practices. The agency theory and the resource-based view were integrated to explain the effects of board diversity on R&D investment. Tests and analysis were conducted, and the results indicated that only age diversity had a positive influence on R&D investment. Practitioners could use the findings of this study to choose the ideal board composition for a company looking to gain a competitive edge. Regulators could also use this study to develop good corporate governance procedures for Malaysian publicly traded companies. The findings of this study may not truly portray the overall industries listed in Bursa Malaysia, as the samples used were limited and the data of certain companies was unavailable.","PeriodicalId":506447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Scientific Research","volume":"19 45","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140409243","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}

A quantitative research approach with a pre- and post-test with a Control Group Design was adopted. Totally, 1202 schoolchildren between 8-13 years old were screened, and 129 children were identified as being at risk. The SMART Parenting program was administered to the parents in experimental group. The results of the study revealed a significant increase in parenting behavior and a decrease in the risk of behavioral problems after intervention among the children in the experimental group. An analysis of the impact of the SMART parenting programme on both groups revealed a noteworthy enhancement in parenting behaviour and a decrease in the risk of behavioural problems among parents and children in the experimental group. The SMART parenting program was highly effective in promoting parenting behavior and reducing the risk of behavioral problems among school children. Therefore, it can be widely used by school authorities, by community health nurses, and also by pediatric nurses in hospital settings.","PeriodicalId":506447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Scientific Research","volume":"98 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140411258","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}

Employing a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), the experiment featured three replications per treatment in a two-factor design. Results revealed that a 30-day-old scion exhibited a highly significant difference in tomato height gain at 15 and 30 days after transplanting (DAT) and statistically mirrored the performance of a 21-day-old scion at 60 DAT. A 25-day-old scion grafted onto wild eggplant demonstrated the greatest height gain among grafts but did not surpass the height of non-grafted tomatoes. Notably, the 30-day-old scion significantly influenced tomato height at 15 and 30 DAT. The 25-day-old scion of wild eggplant exhibited the highest height gain but failed to surpass the non-grafted tomatoes. A 21-day-old scion of eggplant yielded the highest plant and 240 sqm-based tomato yields. Interaction analysis revealed that a 30-day-old scion of eggplant produced the highest yield. Additionally, the 25-day-old scion of wild eggplant resulted in the largest fruit diameter, while the 21-day-old scion of black nightshade displayed the highest sugar content. Different scion and rootstock combinations yielded varying percentages of fruit color. Optimal profitability was achieved with a 30-day-old scion of eggplant, offering the highest net income, while the highest return on investment (ROI) was achieved with a 21-day-old scion of wild eggplant. Findings emphasize the importance of carefully selecting scion age and rootstock combinations to optimize tomato growth, yield, and quality, ultimately enhancing profitability in tomato cultivation.","PeriodicalId":506447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Scientific Research","volume":"57 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140445588","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 exploration of regular immigration, encompassing individuals relocating to other countries either temporarily or permanently for various reasons, stands as a prominent subject in current international research. This article examines the attitudes of regular immigrants towards products made in Turkey, employing the theory of planned behavior. In the research, where the quantitative research method was followed, regular immigrants residing in Turkey were selected as the research population. A survey was used as a data collection technique in the research, and the prepared survey form was applied online to regular immigrants currently residing in Turkey, and 444 responses were obtained. The obtained data were analyzed using AMOS and SPSS 26.0 statistical programs, and according to the research questions, correlation and regression analyses were applied. The findings showcase that the attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral controls of regular immigrants towards Turkish-made products significantly influence their behavioral intentions. Moreover, these intentions have a positive effect on their actual product usage or purchases. Notably, individuals exhibit favorable behavioral intentions towards Turkish products, which has a significant positive effect on their purchasing behavior. Since this study focuses specifically on Turkey, a host to one of the largest immigrant populations globally, and aims to dissect the impact of migrated country products on consumption preferences in multiple ways, it is important.","PeriodicalId":506447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Scientific Research","volume":"84 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140448080","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}

More so, 58.54% revealed their exam score performance had improved, and 59.29% indicated that their positions in the class had improved after receiving the NDF eye care intervention in the state. The analysis of the impact of the NDF programme reveals that eye treatment rather than eye screening improves pupils' performance. This implies that NDF school eye intervention has significantly improved students' academic performance after receiving eye treatment and eyeglasses. The policy implication is that poor eye health affects the realisation of schoolchildren's right to education.

It has resulted in a substantial reduction in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), disrupted travel and trade, caused the collapse of businesses, and pushed millions of people into poverty. Given the downward trend of the pandemic recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared an end to the COVID-19 global public health emergency, and most countries have returned to their pre-pandemic lives. Unfortunately, many businesses, particularly micro-businesses, have been on the ropes even in the post-pandemic crisis of COVID-19. According to past studies, the unsustainability of businesses is due to a low level of sustainable practices. Hence, by using the regression analysis approach, this study aims to determine the key factors associated with business success and investigate the significant success factors that represent the sustainable practices adopted by micro-businesses in Malaysia, focusing on Asnaf entrepreneurs. A total of 163 usable questionnaires were collected, and multiple regression analysis was then employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that systematic record-keeping and marketing strategies are vital for micro-businesses to sustain themselves in the post-pandemic era. To improve their marketing strategies, microbusinesses, particularly those run by Asnaf entrepreneurs, require support programs through systematic accounting records and guidance on digital platforms. This notifies the government and associated agencies of this. This business group, which makes up Malaysia's largest commercial establishment and might help the country reach its 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of being a higher-income nation, deserves more attention.","PeriodicalId":506447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Scientific Research","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139963073","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 sample of this study comprised 51 E&E public companies listed in the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia during the financial periods 2018 and 2022. This study documents a significant positive relationship between firm performance and ETR, consistent with the political cost theory, suggesting that high-performing industries such as E&E are more at risk of political scrutiny and, hence, tend to pay higher amounts of tax despite the tax incentives provided by the government. Interestingly, foreign directors are negatively related to a firm’s performance. The possible explanation for this is that the E&E industry is highly regulated by the Malaysian government; hence, foreign directors’ contribution and authority to make independent strategic changes to drive the firm’s performance are limited. Finally, the effect of female directors on firm performance is found to be insignificant, possibly because, on average, only 10% of women are represented on the board of the E&E PLCs. The study findings are of significant interest and beneficial to policymakers, the government, and tax authorities in trying to understand the implications, assess the effectiveness, and tightly monitor the tax incentives and board diversity policy of the E&E companies.","PeriodicalId":506447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Scientific Research","volume":"54 51","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139532944","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}
