Background & Aims: Undernutrition has a detrimental effect on health, especially in elderly individuals.Early detection of malnutrition and malnutrition risk allows for timely prevention and initiation of the necessary nutritional support. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition among elderly residents at the old folk home in Selangor, Malaysia. Materials and methods: A total of 46 Klang valley nursing facility residents were enrolled for this cross-sectional study. The Mini Nutritional AssessmentShort Form (MNA-SF), 24-hour food recall, Food frequency questionnaire, Habitual physical activity, 24- hours physical activity recall, and anthropometric measurements were used to assess malnutrition by a trained healthcare professional. Results: Of the 46 participants, 41% had adequate nutrition, 11% had malnutrition, and 48% had malnutrition risk. According to BMI, 6.7% of the population was underweight, 35.6% were overweight, 11.1% were obese, and 46.7% were normal weight. The energy consumption was 2453.9(±421.6) kcal for female residents and 2248.2(±536.5) kcal for male residents, which was higher than the Recommended Nutrient consumption (RNI). Contrary to the cereals and grains category, it was determined that enough fruits and vegetables were consumed, as advised by the Food Pyramid. Consumption of milk and dairy products was higher than suggested by the Food Pyramid. Among older adults who are sedentary and inactive, results showed a higher incidence of malnutrition than those who were at risk for it. The amount of daily energy consumed surpassed the RNI, and the elderly did not consume enough of the food groups as advised by the Food Pyramid.

The Covid-19 infected countries had executed several measures but could not exterminate the infection. Finally, vaccines became the solution but still there were lack of positive knowledge towards the vaccines. Therefore, the importance of this study among the healthcare workers was to raise awareness, knowledge, and perception on vaccine among public. It was conducted among 294 participants from healthcare workers employed by Non-governmental Organizations in Klang Valley via questionnaires. Average of 93.2% of participants willing to get vaccinated. In terms of socio-demographic, significant difference was only found on age, race, educational level, and working zone. The average prevalence of knowledge and awareness on getting vaccinated was higher among those encountered Covid-19 patients (52.9%) compared to those did not (45.9%). The majority participants had positive perception on vaccine and only numerous participants had concern towards the safety, efficacy, and side effects of vaccine. Overall, findings showed the healthcare workers have better knowledge, awareness, and perception towards Covid-19 vaccine.

Entrepreneurship plays a vital role in the advancement and progress of a country`s economy as well as the development of society. However, the number of women entrepreneurs is still relatively low compared to male entrepreneurs. Therefore, this paper aims to find out the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs of the 21st century. The study identified and synthesized data from over 22 years in the field of women entrepreneurship in 57 countries. Six main challenges were identified from the literature. They are financial challenges, lack of knowledge and experience, work-life balance, gender discrimination, sociocultural factors, and lack of government support. Moreover, the paper discusses the reasons for these challenges and the current situation of these challenges. The findings of the paper concluded that the challenges visible 22 years back, all six challenges for women entrepreneurs are still visible in today`s times. Furthermore, the study also found that these challenges are very much co-related to each other and more evident in developing countries compared to developed countries. Actions have been taken to minimize these challenges but no sustainable actions have been seen to date.

The incidence of breast cancer in Asian countries is continuously rising, with breast cancer-causing anincrease in mortality among Asian women. The impact of low screening uptake is a matter of concern as inmost cases, cancers have been diagnosed in the advanced stages where medical intervention is not curablebut only intended to improve the quality of care. Therefore, there has been comprehensive advocacy forearly detection and treatment of breast cancer as a strategy to mitigate breast cancer-related morbidityand mortality rates. This paper reviewed existing research on breast cancer screening and the factors thatare associated with breast cancer screening among Asian women. The findings from numerous studiesconducted in Asian countries provides evidence that the number of factors such as socio-demographiccharacteristics, knowledge on breast cancer, including its symptoms and risk factors as well as breastcancer screening modalities, beliefs or perceptions and barriers in terms of structural, psychological,cultural and social factors influences women's adherence to the preventive health promotive behaviour -breast cancer screening. These findings direct to the need for well-planned strategies and intervention thatare culturally sensitive and specifically tailored to the needs of Asian women to successfully promote andadvocate the importance of breast health, early detection of breast cancer and adoption of dynamic routinescreening behaviours.

Background: The 2019 Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) epidemic was a health emergency of international concern. Movement Control Order (MCO) that was implemented in Malaysia to cope with Covid-19 spreading, had caused unbearable physical and psychological pressure and affected the educational status of the students. Therefore, the aim of this research is to study the impact of MCO during the Covid-19 on the university students physically, psychologically and academically. Methodology: This research was implemented as a cross sectional study among university students. The online survey collected information regarding the students’ demographic characteristics, physical symptoms on the past 2 months, psychological impact (through the Impact of Event Scale-Revised “IES-R”). The results showed students to have mild, moderate and severe psychological impact (11.34%, 5.67% and 32.47% respectively). Linear regression showed there was no correlation between demographic characteristics and psychological impacts of MCO. Majority of the students (46.4%) rated their general health as good while 38.1% often keep an eye of their health. 25.8% of the students had seen medical practitioner for the past two months and 25% out of them had seen the doctor for 1-2 times. Conclusion: These findings could help in developing evidence-driven strategies to reduce the adverse impact of MCO on university students during pandemics.

The purpose of this paper is to review the impact of SMEs that leverage online marketplace by examining the benefits of e-marketplace and explore how to successfully overcome the perceived barriers for SMEs to gain competitive advantage in Malaysia. SMEs need to recognise and fully embrace online marketplace opportunities to develop informed approaches to stay competitive. Malaysia, a thriving country within the South East Asia countries, has aggressively been increasing its efforts in aiding its SMEs to be digitally prepared to support the technological evolution by empowering a digital nation by 2022. This is to create commercial effectiveness and output synergy by leveraging automation processes that creates collaboration within digital skills usage across multiple businesses (Sharon, 2019). This study further delves into the adoption of online marketplace synergy created within the SME’s business model which enables data-driven innovations as business value by leveraging the vast data generated in digital transactions (Barann, Hermann, Cordes, Chasin, & Becker, 2019). Further synergy created via partnership with customers through online marketplace will significantly expand SMEs business’ inventive activities (Walsh, Przychodzen, & Przychodzen, 2017).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of factors or determinants that could affect Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), focusing on the financial services sector listed in Bursa Malaysia. The study used 31 financial services companies’ annual reports from 2011 until 2020. A logit regression approach is used, and the dummy variable used as the dependent variable is equal to one if firms implement ERM and zero if not. Four independent variables are firm size, leverage, profitability, and cash reserves. The findings of this study are that profitability, leverage, and cash reserves are significant factors in ERM implementation. However, firm sizes show negative related to ERM implementation. This research is limited to the industry that only focuses on the financial services sector and some companies do not have annual report information. Nevertheless, the research demonstrates how the company that implements ERM or has Chief Risk Officer will be able to manage their risk systematically and do decision-making better. This study focuses on the implementation of ERM in the financial services industry, where most researchers focus on all sectors and relate ERM implementation with firm value

Breakfast consumption is correlated with a range of positive outcomes, namely good academicperformance, appropriate nutrient intake and body mass index (BMI). However, many university studentshave the habits of skipping breakfast and consume an insufficient amount of nutrients. This study aimed todetermine the relationship between skipping breakfast and dietary intake with BMI among students of aprivate university in Shah Alam, Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire was used in a cross-sectionalstudy of 200 students. The questionnaire asked about sociodemographic factors, dietary habits, and foodintake over 24 hours. SPSS and Nutritionist pro tools were used to analyse the data. Breakfast was skippedby 58% of students (60% of males and 56% females). Students' most common reason to skip breakfast is alack of time (n = 146; 73%). The majority of those who consumed more than 2500kcal per day wereoverweight. The results showed no significant association (p = 0.831) between breakfast skipping and BMI.There was no significant association (p > 0.05) between covariates (socio-demography, anthropometry,intakes of protein, carbohydrate, sodium, iron and vitamin C) with the BMI of students. However, there wasa significant association (p = 0.001) between dietary intake (calorie) and BMI. In conclusion, it is evidencedthat the dietary intake of these students influences their BMI status instead of the behaviour of skippingbreakfast. The importance of having breakfast should be emphasised among university students. Thestudents should prioritise their daily nutrient intake by taking regular breakfast

This study determines and identifies the importance of Ethnic Relations in giving an integrated value among university students in Malaysia. This study focuses on the private institution in Shah Alam to discuss how the objectives of the courses affect the unity among the students. The private institution was chosen because the ethnic demographics in Peninsular Malaysia are balanced well between the three major ethnic groups. Additionally, this study explores how instructors can effectively communicate the three main objectives of the course to the students. Moreover, this study examines how the main objectives, as determined through content analysis, may provide an integrative value to the students and portray the values derived from the subjects in their daily lives.

Additionally, this study explores how instructors can effectively communicate the three main objectives of the course to the students. Moreover, this study examines how the main objectives, as determined through content analysis, may provide an integrative value to the students and portray the values derived from the subjects in their daily lives.","PeriodicalId":340986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Science","volume":"1 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":"117113697","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}
