COVID-19 outbreak has created tremendous implications for the entire world population. It has caused many to lose their jobs, precarious health, family problem, and many more. The stress resulting from this pandemic has disrupted the emotional well-being of individuals such as depression. The identification of youth behavior towards health risk such as depression is vital important as it need to be address to ensure our future human capital mentally equips with positive mental health that shall lead to positive attitude and resilience in their future endeavour. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that may contribute towards the preventive behavior of stress-related behaviour namely depression among youth by adopting the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) theory. It is important to see the pattern of this behavioural element from risk perspective among future human capitals as it shall reflects on the productivity and competency of our future workforce in the years to come. This study applies analysis technique using SmartPLS 3.4 version involving 186 respondent among youth of 15-30 years old in Malaysia. This study partially adopted HAPA as main underlying framework to further explained the variables involved.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) created through genetic engineering have dominated the headlines since their initial scientific discovery. Humanity continues to be in awe of how biotechnological progress can help ensure human survival, primarily through food security. However, GMOs' future benefits have rarely been enough to outweigh the ethical and socio-economic concerns. These elements were not previously thought to be equally significant. This study aims to identify possible methods to incorporate ethical considerations into the decision-making process of GM technology for the protection of farmers' rights and to present indicators to aid policymakers in assessing the ethical issues in GM technology. Indicators for the ethical tools of genetically modified (GM) crops that can protect the rights of Malaysian farmers were described in this study. General ethical principles can be seen in the reverence for life and the requirement to weigh benefits and harms. Therefore, a decision-making process must consider ethical issues and scientific evidence. The results of this study revealed that despite this, farmers' rights to a living and contractual justice had been ethically ignored. This is because ethical principles are typically descriptive and challenging to implement. Therefore, its ethical implications must be carefully considered to ensure that the use of GM crops technology does not violate the fundamental rights of farmers. Hence, additional research is needed to hone and broaden this framework to ensure sustainable modern biotechnology and the protection of farmers' rights. The study's output will be a legal framework to evaluate the ethical implications of GM crops in preserving farmers' rights. Government regulators and other pertinent stakeholders can use the recommendations.
One of the most intriguing topics in health risk research, as well as behaviour change, is the concept of behaviour change. Understanding the factors that influence behaviour change becomes critical for the organisation or community to ensure that behaviour change is properly addressed. However, changing one's behaviour is difficult due to a variety of external and internal barriers. The purpose of this study is to look at behavioural changes that can help prevent mental health risks such as depression among undergraduates. As a result, organisations must identify the factors that influence behaviour change in order to protect themselves from mental health risks such as depression among undergraduates. As a result, this study looks at the factors that influence behaviour change in terms of self-efficacy and action planning by partially adopting Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) Theory. This paper explains how the efficacy of students' can positively adapt changes of behavior towards preventing the risks of mental health risks such as depression as a first step in a bid to reduce the chances of having it. Finally, as an initial experiment, this study provides a conceptual framework for the role of self-efficacy and planning in assisting behaviour change among undergraduates in order to prevent mental health risks such as depression risk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
