This study analyzes the degradation of mangrove ecosystems in the Angke Kapuk Protected Forest (AKPF) which is influenced by declining water quality, reduced mangrove cover, and weak governance. A mixed-methods approach is used in this study, integrating qualitative and quantitative data for a more comprehensive analysis. Primary data were obtained through direct field observation, including water sampling at three stations with four replications per station performed weekly for one month. Mangrove vegetation data was collected through direct identification based on leaf, root, and stem charac

Hong Kong, though traditionally regarded as a region of low to moderate seismic risk, faces growing concern over the adequacy of its construction regulations in mitigating earthquake-related hazards. With over seven million residents and a highly vertical, densely packed built environment, the city remains vulnerable to the effects of seismic activity originating from nearby regions such as Guangdong and Taiwan. This study conducts a quantitative investigation into the need for novel earthquake-resistant construction regulations tailored to Hong Kong’s unique geotechnical and infrastructural

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics has emerged as a transformative force across business, accounting, finance, and management systems. This scoping review explores the methods, applications, and implementation strategies of these technologies, with a particular emphasis on the leather industry—a traditionally resource-intensive sector now facing increasing pressure to digitalize. The study identifies key AI techniques, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and robotic process automation, and maps their use in fraud detecti

Street mothers in Indonesia face serious challenges in accessing reproductive health information and services due to poverty, social stigma, and low education. These barriers negatively impact their well-being and that of their children. This study aims to formulate sustainable and effective solutions for improving reproductive health education among street mothers by considering their socio-economic context. A qualitative case study approach was used, involving in-depth interviews with 14 street mothers and healthcare workers in Bandung and Karawang. The data were analysed using thematic anal

This study explores the approaches of Buddha and Prophet Muhammad in managing religious diversity, focusing on their engagement with other faith communities in their respective historical and social contexts.
