Analyzing the Nexus Between Project Constraints and Social Sustainability in Construction: A Case for a Developing Economy

The construction industry plays a crucial role in the development of emerging economies; however, project constraints can pose significant challenges to achieving social sustainability. Therefore, this study investigates the nexus between project constraints and social sustainability factors within Pakistan’s construction industry. The study adopted a quantitative approach and analyzed the collected data through descriptive and inferential tests. Data were collected from 100 civil engineers registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) through structured questionnaires. Analysis methods included the mean, standard deviation, Relative Importance Index (RII), and multiple regression tests. Cost (mean = 3.98) and time (mean = 3.90) emerged as the most significant project constraints, while poor safety on sites had the lowest means (3.49). In social sustainability factors, improving quality of life (mean = 3.73) ranked highest, with diversity in the workforce scoring lower (mean = 3.35). RII revealed cost (RII = 0.796) and time (RII = 0.780) as top constraints, while safety ranked lowest (RII = 0.698). Multiple regression showed that cost (slope = 0.390, p = 0.027) and unskilled workforce productivity (slope = 0.312, p = 0.073) significantly affect client social sustainability. Consultants prioritized poor productivity (slope = 0.623, p = 0.003), and contractors showed positive trends in cost and planning. The study highlights challenges like workforce skill gaps and safety enforcement, stressing the need for interventions to enhance social sustainability outcomes in Pakistan’s construction sector.

Financial data were collected through the Integrated Real-time Equity System (IRESS). Multiple regression testing was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Correlation coefficients were measured, and multiple regression models were constructed. This study found that cashflow per share, market price per share and liquidity ratios were often identified as predictors of CEO remuneration. This research contributed to the body of existing knowledge by demonstrating that the remuneration paid to South African bank CEOs can be predicted by means of selected financial ratios. Limitations included that the census was small and only consisted of eight banks in total. This limitation was accommodated by expanding the time frame for data collection.

Impact of Domestic Task Involvement toward Parental Stress on Dual Earner Couples

Purpose: The prevalence of dual-earner couples in Indonesia, particularly in urban areas, has led to an increase in their roles both at work and in the family. This situation often results in inappropriate domestic task involvement, which in turn affects the stress levels of these couples. Understanding the impact of domestic task involvement on parental stress is crucial for the fields of family studies, psychology, and sociology. Method: The research included 237 respondents obtained using purposive sampling techniques, and the results were analyzed with quantitative methods with criteria for early adulthood, working married couples, having children aged at least six years, and being domiciled in Jabodetabek. Data was collected through a survey using the instruments Subject’s Involvement in Household Chores and Partner’s Involvement in Household Chores for the independent variable and Parental Stress Scale for the dependent variable. Data was analyzed using quantitative methods through multiple regression analysis to test the impact of domestic task involvement on parental stress. Result: The results show that domestic task involvement has a significantly negative impact of 3.4% on low levels of parental stress. The multiple regression test shows the calculated significance level of 0.017 < 0.05. Subject Involvement and Partner Involvement simultaneously have a negative influence on parental stress. Conclusion: The study underscores the pivotal role of collaboration between husband and wife in managing domestic tasks, which can significantly reduce parental stress. These findings not only contribute to the academic discourse but also suggest practical strategies for supporting dual-earner couples in Indonesia.

Conclusions In order to strengthen the cultural competence of nursing students, it is necessary to activate curricular and non-curricular training programs that enhance cultural intelligence and multicultural self-efficacy, and when applying the programs, it is necessary to provide intensive training and operational strategies in a small group format in a friendly environment.

KOMITE MANAJEMEN RISIKO, EKSTERNAL TATA KELOLA DAN KINERJA PERUSAHAAN

Good corporate governance can increase the value of a company by implementing a commitment to achieve predetermined goals. One of these goals is meeting the expectations of investors, shareholders, and other stakeholders to achieve maximum profit. This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding implementing the Risk Management Committee and its impact on company performance. Organizations, as systems, constantly interact with their environment, which is influenced by individual psychology. The study uses a sample of 100 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange out of 848 as of March 2023. The Risk Management Committee's characteristics are measured by the team leader's number of members and the leader's family affiliation with the company's management. The level of competitiveness is calculated using the Hirschman-Herfindahl index. Multiple regression tests were conducted to examine these variables. The results show that the number of risk management committees and family affiliations has a negative impact on firm value, while the level of competitiveness has a positive effect. However, only the family affiliation of the chairman of the risk management committee significantly affects firm value. The study's limitation lies in measuring the Risk Management Committee's characteristics, and further research is needed with different measurements. The results of this study can be helpful for investors when making investment decisions and for companies when presenting non-financial information.

Factors Associated with the Outcomes of Patients with Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta

Introduction: Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a common infection with a poor prognosis. Previous studies on factors influencing HAP outcomes have yielded inconsistent findings. Therefore, further research is needed to determine risk factors that affect HAP outcomes. This study evaluated the factors associated with HAP outcomes to enable timely interventions to reduce mortality, costs, and length of stay (LOS). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta, using medical record data from January to December 2022. The data included age, gender, malnutrition, anemia, level of consciousness, comorbidities, bacterial culture, and multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). The analyses were performed using the Chi-squared and Mann-Whitney U tests, followed by multiple logistic and linear regression tests to determine the correlation between risk factors and outcomes (recovery, death, and LOS). Results: This study included 102 patients with HAP, the majority being males (64.7%) aged 60 years old and above. Additionally, most patients did not exhibit malnutrition (87.3%) or anemia (96.1%), had normal levels of consciousness (67.6%) and mild comorbidities (60.8%), were not infected with MDROs (66.7%), and were predominantly infected by Klebsiella pneumoniae (21.6%). The multiple logistic regression test revealed that decreased consciousness was significantly associated with increased mortality (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, age 60 years old and above was significantly associated with a shorter LOS (p = 0.05). Conclusion: The majority of HAP cases occurred in men aged 60 years and above. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between decreased consciousness and increased mortality, as well as between the age of 60 years and above and a shorter LOS.

Smoking Cessation Counseling: Practices, Determinants, and Barriers in a Sample of Iranian Primary Care Dentists

Objectives: Despite the successful tobacco smoking cessation counseling (TSCC) efforts of dental professionals, Iranian primary care dentists have not fully utilized their potential for TSCC provision. Thus, this study assessed the TSCC practices and their associations with socio-professional attributes, knowledge, and attitude, and explored the TSCC barriers and their socio-professional determinants in a sample of Iranian primary care dentists. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Comprehensive Healthcare Centers (CHCs) in Tehran Province, Iran from March to June 2019. All dentists practicing in these centers (n=190) completed self-administered questionnaires regarding TSCC-related knowledge, attitude, practice, and barriers. Simple and multiple linear regression and multiple logistic regression tests were used for statistical analyses. Results: The respondents (n=180, response rate=93%) were predominantly females (81.6%), recent graduates (69.6%), and non-cigarette smokers (90.2%), with a mean age of 34±9.98 years. Most performed 'Ask' (90.6%) and 'Advise' (69.1%), while a few were engaged in 'Assess' (33.7%) and fewer in 'Assist,' with 21.3% making physician referrals and 31.5% making psychologist referrals. Non-smokers (B=0.80, 95% CI: 0.19 to 1.40; P=0.01), and those with a more positive attitude (B=0.06, 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.08; P< 0.001) were more likely to provide TSCC. The main identified barriers included “absence of educational resources for patients”, “time constraints”, and “lack of patient cooperation. Conclusion: Although the selected sample of Iranian primary care dentists performed “Ask” and “Advise” more frequently than their peers, their TSCC practice required further improvement through simplified guidelines, customized pathways, training, team work, and resource advocacy.

The influence of human resource quality and superiors support on the usability of the accounting and management information system of state-owned asset

This study aims to investigate the influence of human resource quality and superior support on the effectiveness of the Accounting and Management Information System for State-Owned Assets (SIMAK-BMN) at Universitas Terbuka. The study's results, which provide empirical evidence that the quality of human resources significantly and positively impacts the usability of SIMAK-BMN, as demonstrated by the t-test, are significant. Employing a quantitative research approach, the study's population comprises leaders and users of the Accounting and Management Information System for State-Owned Assets, totaling 57 respondents distributed between the Central Universitas Terbuka and various regional offices. The sampling method utilized in this research is nonprobability sampling, specifically purposive sampling, to ensure that participants possess relevant experience with the system. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to respondents and analyzed using various statistical techniques. These included correlation analysis and multiple regression, descriptive statistics and reliability testing. To ensure the robustness of the findings, validity testing was conducted alongside classical assumption tests, encompassing multicollinearity testing, hypothesis testing, and comprehensive discussion. On the other hand, the variable of superior support does not significantly influence the use of the Accounting and Management Information System for State-Owned Assets. These findings have significant implications, suggesting that while enhancing human resource quality can improve the system's usability, efforts to bolster superiors support may yield a different level of effectiveness. The study underscores the importance of focusing on human resource development to optimize the utilization of management information systems within the academic environment.

Mencegah kekambuhan pada pecandu narkoba: Bagaimana peranan craving dan dukungan keluarga?

Previous research data shows that drug users who have undergone rehabilitation can still experience relapse, so research that identifies factors that cause relapse is essential. This study aims to examine the relationship between craving and family support with the tendency to relapse. The research participants were 97 drug addicts undergoing rehabilitation at several rehabilitation institutions in Surabaya and Gresik. The research scale was compiled by the researcher himself, consisting of a relapse scale (α = 0.935), which refers to the theory of Gorski and Miller, a craving scale (α = 0.899), which refers to Drummond's theory, and a family support scale (α = 0.949) which refers to Friedman's theory. The research data were analyzed using multiple regression tests. The results of the partial test showed that the higher the craving in people with an addiction who had undergone rehabilitation, the higher their tendency to relapse. However, the results of the partial test also proved that solid family support made the tendency to relapse lower. The results of the study simultaneously also showed that craving and family support were predictors of the tendency to relapse in drug addicts after rehabilitation. These findings are expected to broaden understanding of clinical psychology and provide practical guidelines for former addicts to prevent relapse through efforts to reduce cravings and increase family support.

Metacognitive awareness and mathematics teaching anxiety on knowledge of content and teaching of pre-service mathematics teachers

The problem and the aim of the study. Anxiety while teaching mathematics is one key component that may influence both teaching and learning. By investigating the relationship between anxiety levels and metacognitive awareness, the result of such investigation is expected to be able to assist pre-service teachers in overcoming obstacles and developing confidence in their abilities to teach mathematics. Based on that, this study attempts to find out how metacognitive awareness and anxiety in teaching mathematics influence the knowledge of content and teaching of pre-service mathematics teachers. Research methods. The metacognitive awareness and mathematics teaching anxiety questionnaires were used to assess pre-service mathematics teachers’ knowledge of content and teaching as well as their teaching abilities. The research employed a mixed-method approach, which combines quantitative and qualitative research. The quantitative research sample consisted of 135 pre-service mathematics teachers, with 75 being females and 60 being males. In the next step, two research participants were randomly selected to investigate the impact of metacognitive awareness and mathematics teaching anxiety on topic knowledge and instruction in the qualitative research. The two selected subjects were selected based on their knowledge of content and teaching. One had high levels of metacognitive awareness and the other one had low levels of metacognitive awareness, as well as teaching anxiety in mathematics. Results. This study found that the impact of metacognitive awareness and mathematics teaching anxiety on knowledge of content and teaching was confirmed by a multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS 25 showed the influence of metacognitive awareness (X1) and anxiety (X2) on knowledge of teaching and teaching (Y). The regression model Y = – 27,077 – 0.621 X1 + 1,205 X2. According to the results of the multiple regression test, pre-service mathematics teachers with high metacognitive awareness were able to maximize their existing knowledge of content and teaching, whereas those with low metacognitive awareness were unable to do so. Additionally, pre-service mathematics teachers with low mathematics teaching anxiety were able to employ effective ways to maximize knowledge of content and teaching, but pre-service mathematics teachers with high mathematics teaching anxiety struggled to convey knowledge of content and teaching. In conclusion, the study showed that pre-service mathematics teacher students with a high level of metacognitive awareness were more able to explore their understanding of material and teaching to prepare for teaching and learning activities effectively. On the other hand, pre-service mathematics teachers with low metacognitive awareness might find it difficult, as they might struggle with content understanding and instruction. Mathematics teaching anxiety was found to have a considerable negative impact on knowledge of content and teaching. High mathematics teaching anxiety can have an impact on both material understanding and teaching.
