    From National Crisis To Wartime: The Chinese Higher Education Policy During The Anti-Japanese War Period, 1931-1945
    (2025-09)
    Shi, Xiangkun
    This thesis investigates how Chinese higher education policy evolved during the period of the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1931 to 1945. While previous studies often treat wartime education as a passive response to external disruption, this study argues that education policy became a site of political negotiation, ideological contestation, and institutional reconfiguration. The research employs a document analysis approach, drawing on government archives and university documents, public discourse, newspaper and diaries by key figures. The analysis centers on two dimensions: (1) how crisis conditions redefined the goals and functions of higher education; (2) how state, educational community, student group and political forces — including both the Nationalist government and the Chinese Communist Party — jointly shaped policy decisions.

    Antecedents Of Employee Performance: Moderation Effect Of Supportive Work Environment Among The Public Sector Employees In Uae
    (2025-09)
    Ahli, Reem Ali Obaid Ali
    Employee performance has been acknowledged as one of the fundamental drivers of organizational success. Accordingly, this study aims to identify antecedent factors, namely abusive supervision, job stress, turnover intention, and agile leadership, that influence employee performance in the public service sector in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with a supportive work environment acting as a moderator. Guided by a quantitative research approach employing a survey instrument, data were collected from 396 respondents in the UAE public sector. This study conducted quantitative analyses including descriptive statistics, multivariate hypothesis testing, common method bias assessment, and the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s test. Furthermore, this study also employed a measurement model and a structural equation model using SmartPLS version 4.

    ASEAN Monetary Union: Is ASEAN an Optimum Currency Area?
    (2010-06)
    Lew, Yuen Sin
    Economic arguments in support of monetary union argues that a monetary union is capable of providing stable exchange rate, low interest and inflation rate as well promoting trade within the monetary union zone. If the launch of Euro currency can be regarded as a success, then it can be used as a model for ASEAN countries to prevent the repeat of the 199711998 financial crisis. The Theory of Optimum Currency Area (OCA) is the main reference point in considering the establishment of a monetary union. The theory has listed out several important criteria that need to be fulfilled before the establishment of monetary union. This thesis examines the suitability of the OCA theory as a basis for the adoption of monetary union among ASEAN member countries. Based on the OCA theory, the thesis is aimed to analyze a) synchronization of business cycle, b) financial integration, and c) GDP per capita convergence among 10 ASEAN member states. For the first analysis, the approach uses Hodrick-Prescott filter to obtain the business cycle and ARDL method to trace out synchronization.

    Development Of Scratch-Based Mathematics Module Using Inquiry-Based Learning To Enhance Computational Thinking And Motivation
    (2025-09)
    Md Zuber, Masyithoh
    TIMSS 2023 illustrated that Malaysian students were struggling with the logical and systematic thinking needed to solve problems through explanation, justification, and generalisation of mathematical relationships. It portrayed that Malaysian students were lacking in mathematical reasoning and CT. Hence, integrating programming into mathematics learning is an opportunity to illustrate these abstract concepts visually and train students to think computationally. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a Scratch-based mathematics (SBM) module to improve the computational thinking (CT) skills and motivation of year five students in primary school.

    Occupational Stress And Its Impact On Sleep Quality And Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (Wrmsds) Among Industrial Designers In Shenzhen, China
    (2025-08)
    Mao, Yongchun
    As a rapidly growing sector in China's industrial field, industrial design plays a key role in enhancing innovation and global market competitiveness. However, the nature of design work—high-intensity job demands, long working hours, and high cognitive load—has raised growing concerns about the occupational health and well-being of industrial designers. This study explores the occupational stress of industrial designers in Shenzhen, China, and its impact on sleep quality and work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs). This study investigated the occupational stress of 411 industrial designers and its impact on sleep quality and work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs).
