Determinants of Teacher Competency: The Role of Job Satisfaction and Workload
Teacher competency remains a critical issue despite increasing educational demands. This study examined the influence of job satisfaction and workload on teacher competency using a quantitative cross-sectional survey of 382 teachers. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that job satisfaction was the strongest predictor (β = .729, p < .001), followed by workload (β = .190, p < .001), explaining 56.4% of the variance (R² = .564). The findings suggest that enhancing job satisfaction and managing workload effectively are essential strategies for improving teacher competency and educational performance.

Development and Acceptability of Vegetable-Enriched Tempeh Patty
Tempeh Patty is a plant-based product developed as a healthy alternative to conventional meat patties, using tempeh as the primary ingredient. Its nutritional and sensory qualities were enhanced through the addition of vegetables and herbs. Two formulations were produced: Variation 1 (V1) with black pepper and shiitake mushrooms, and Variation 2 (V2) with black pepper and carrots. The production process involved steaming and mashing tempeh, sautéing vegetables and herbs, mixing with textured vegetable protein, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings, then shaping, chilling, and deep-frying the patties. Sensory evaluation by 60 panelists showed V1 achieved the highest overall acceptability.

Development of a Wearable IoT and Artificial Neural Network-Based Gait Screening System for Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s Disease affects gait, balance, and mobility, while conventional assessment methods rely on brief clinical observation and specialist interpretation. This study develops a wearable IoT and Artificial Neural Network-based gait screening system for early Parkinson-like movement detection. The proposed innovation, GaitAI, integrates bilateral knee-mounted MPU6050 IMU sensors, ESP32 wireless communication, Blynk monitoring, Google Sheets cloud logging, ANN-based classification, and a web-based reporting platform. The system collects lower-limb acceleration data during walking, extracts gait features, and classifies gait patterns as either Normal or Parkinson-like. The prototype demonstrates wearable data acquisition, IoT transmission, cloud-based storage, machine learning integration, analytics visualization, and report generation. This innovation provides a practical, low-cost screening platform that may assist early awareness, user monitoring, and healthcare research. Although not intended to replace clinical diagnosis, the system shows potential as a digital healthcare support tool for Parkinson’s gait screening.

Determinants of Water Quality Degradation in the Langat River Basin Using Ordinal Logistic Modelling
Water pollution refers to the contamination of water bodies by harmful substances, which adversely affects water quality and poses risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. This study aims to identify the most significant factors influencing water quality in Langat River Basin using ordinal logistic regression. Notably, chemical oxygen demand (COD) emerged as the most critical factor (p-value of < 0.001), indicating a strong correlation with polluted water conditions. COD levels signify increased pollutants in the river, leading to degraded water quality. It is hoped that this study will enhance public awareness regarding water pollution on environmental and human health.

Corporate Financial Health and Tax Reporting Behaviour: Evidence from Malaysia
Corporate tax reporting behaviour remains important due to its implications for government revenue. This study examines the relationship between corporate financial health and tax reporting behaviour among Malaysian public listed companies. The study analysed 72 companies over 2014-2023. The findings reveal a significant negative relationship between financial health and ETR. Specifically, firms with stronger financial conditions tend to report lower ETR. The findings suggest that financially healthier firms may possess strategic capabilities to implement more tax-efficient reporting compared to financially distressed firms.
