Patria Rahmawaty , Zulkarnain Zulkarnain , Andra Ade Riyanto
Sexual harassment in educational institutions has long been a global concern. Various studies on sexual violence have been carried out, but research on personality, power, and moral disengagement, which are associated with sexual harassment behaviour among students in higher education, was still limited. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the influence of personality, power, and moral disengagement on sexual harassment behaviour among students in higher education. This research involved 403 students from 5 universities in Balikpapan City, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. We used structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis to test the influence of each variable. According to the research's findings, moral disengagement, and personality both have a direct impact on sexual harassment. In addition, moral disengagement has been proven to be able to mediate between power and sexual harassment. The results of this research provide important implications for public policy makers in higher education, practitioners, researchers, and the public in identifying factors of sexual harassment among students in higher education.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health challenges have emerged, highlighting the need to identify psychological distress and coping strategies, particularly among occupational safety and health (OSH) competent persons. This is a cross-sectional study measuring stress, anxiety, and depression levels while exploring coping mechanisms among OSH professionals in Malaysia during the COVID-19 recovery phase, using DASS-21 and Brief-COPE questionnaires. The findings indicate that chronic illness increases the risk of depression (p=0.005) and stress (p=0.047). Higher income is associated with greater risks of depression (p<0.001) and stress (p<0.001). Monthly expenses exceeding budget limits heighten the risk of depression (p<0.001) and anxiety (p=0.024). Conversely, older age decreases the risk of both depression (p<0.001) and stress (p=0.001). Caring for family members affected by COVID-19 reduces depression (p<0.001) and stress (p<0.001). Having more monthly savings decreases the risk of depression (p<0.001) and anxiety (p=0.017). The study reveals that stress individuals prefer emotional focus coping (p=0.006). Addressing these factors is crucial for mitigating psychological distress among OSH professionals.

Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are highly used in assessing students’ learning outcomes due to their versatility in promoting test content validity. Nevertheless, teachers experience psychometric challenges in constructing quality MCQs. This study investigated primary school teachers’ competence in constructing quality MCQs in Dar es Salaam Region, Tanzania. Specifically, we examined teachers’ competence in constructing quality MCQs, analyzed the types of item-writing flaws (IWFs) found in teacher-made MCQs, and examined the challenges that teachers encounter in constructing quality MCQs. The study was guided the by classical test theory (CTT) and it employed a mixed-method research approach. In particular, data collection and analysis were conducted using a concurrent triangulation design. A total of 213 MCQs constructed by 20 teachers from ten primary schools were collected and analyzed. The results indicated that primary school teachers were less competent in constructing quality MCQs as 156 (73.2%) of the teacher-made MCQs assessed lower levels of Bloom’s cognitive domain. Similarly, most of the MCQs had IWFs, with 274 (69.2%) having test wiseness flaws and 122 (30.8%) having irrelevant difficulty flaws. The findings call for capacity building to promote teachers’ competence in constructing quality test items.

The aim of this research was to propose an innovative method of controlling the speed of an induction motor (IM) using fuzzy logic, integrated with internet of things (IoT). To achieve this aim, fuzzy logic was used to increase the performance of IM in order to obtain stable speed and high system response even in the presence of disturbances. Moreover, fuzzy logic relied on rules that used linguistic variables, and its main advantage was simple yet highly accurate, enabling the system to be efficient for determining parameters compared to the time-consuming and inefficient trial-and-error method. In this research, IoT implementation used Blynk platform to control and monitor IM speed remotely. Additionally, the components used in this research included an inverter, gate driver, Arduino Mega 2560, and NodeMCU ESP8266. Pulse width modulation (PWM) was required to obtain rotational speed of the motor through MOSFET switching process. The gate driver amplified PWM signal from Arduino Mega 2560, allowing MOSFET to operate. As a result, IM achieved a stable speed, and the system response followed the reference using fuzzy logic. In addition to this process, the system could be controlled and monitored remotely. Finally, the control system was successful, and the results were presented to show the viability of the proposed method.

The current study aims to determine if emotional empathy predicts subjective well-being among undergraduate and graduate students. The current quantitative investigation is based on the survey research design. Participants were students from Al Ain University’s Abu Dhabi and Al Ain campuses (n=307). Data were gathered using the multidimensional emotional empathy scale (MDEES) and the subjective well-being scale (WeBs). The study found that increasing emotional empathy resulted in enhanced subjective well-being among undergraduate and graduate students. The findings also revealed that an increase in the emotional attention component of emotional empathy is associated with a decrease in subjective well-being. The suffering component of emotional empathy makes the greatest contribution to predicting subjective well-being among undergraduate and graduate students. The component of feeling for others ranks second in terms of capacity to predict subjective well-being among undergraduate students. Positive sharing is the second most effective predictor of subjective well-being among graduate students. We discovered that there is a need to increase college students’ subjective well-being, which has a major impact on their overall well-being.
