Textile composites can be manufactured utilizing both synthetic and natural fibers, such as Corypha gebanga fiber, being a viable option. The weaving of Corypha gebanga fiber with cotton thread in a plain weave configuration enables its application as a reinforcement material in textile composites involving a resin matrix. This research aims to investigate the mechanical characteristics of plain woven Corypha gebanga fiber textile fabric-reinforced polymer hybrid composites made from epoxy resin. This study utilized four different variations: a control group without any treatment, and three treatment groups using solutions with NaOH concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5%. The result showed that NaOH concentrations above 2.5% seem to have a detrimental effect, as indicated by the gradual decrease in mechanical performance observed in the 5% and 7.5% NaOH-treated specimens. The decrease in tensile strength suggests that prolonged exposure to alkaline conditions leads to permanent alterations in the cellulose structure and morphology. The optimal concentration of NaOH for maximum mechanical performance enhancement is found to be 5%, which balances the removal of impurities and the avoidance of excessive fiber damage. Microscopy image analysis showed that fiber pullout occurred in all specimens tested that were cut in the direction of the warp during tensile testing. The onset of fracture was characterized by the resin breaking initially, followed by the fibers stretching and ultimately breaking.

Aims To examine the effects of digital educational intervention on HPV knowledge, vaccination intent and completion rates among adolescents and young adults. Design A systematic review and meta‐analysis. Methods The study followed PRISMA guidelines. Studies included randomised controlled trials assessing digital HPV educational interventions on individuals aged 9–26 years. Odds ratios (ORs), confidence intervals (CIs) and standardised mean differences (SMDs) were calculated and analysed with fixed‐ and random‐effects models, depending on the degree of heterogeneity. Data Sources Seven databases (Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMBASE and ASC) were searched from inception through April 9, 2024. Results Twelve studies enrolled 4925 participants were included. Six studies demonstrated that the intervention group significantly had higher HPV knowledge compared to the control group. Five studies reported a significant improvement on vaccination intent and vaccine completion rate. Subgroup analysis of the completion rates indicated that male participants demonstrated significantly greater vaccine competed rates. A tailored educational intervention was likely to effectively enhance HPV vaccine completion rates. Conclusion Our findings confirmed that digital education was beneficial in enhancing adolescents and young adults' HPV knowledge, vaccination intention and vaccine completion rates. The tailored education might be considered prioritised in the design of interventions, while also considering the impact of gender on digital education. Impacts Digital interventions for HPV vaccinations require at least 7 months of follow‐up, highlighting the vital role of tailored education for high‐risk groups in designing effective interventions. The efficacy of digital interventions for HPV vaccination may differ across genders. Patient or Public Contribution There was no direct patient or public contribution, as this is a review of previous research. Trial Registration: CRD‐42023406919

Introduction. Career adaptability has been recognized as one of the skills needed to face changing needs in the world of work. This study is increasingly interesting from the perspective of instilling career adaptability in a vocational university environment. The importance of mastering career adaptability has been established, but the interaction between predictors such as work-based learning factors, curriculum relevance, university support, career self-efficacy has not been well-defined. This study aims to investigate the role of work-based learning, curriculum relevance, university support, and career self-efficacy on university students’ career adaptability. Materials and Methods. We involved 476 vocational students from universities in Indonesia and Malaysia. The data analysis used structural equation modelling (SEM) to test direct and indirect effects of career adaptability. The study utilizes the Amos 18 software for SEM analysis. This study used 200 bootstrap samples and a bias-corrected confidence interval of 90% to analyse the mediation role. Results. The study results reveal that work-based learning, curriculum relevance, university support, and career self-efficacy directly influence the career adaptability of vocational students. Another finding is that career self-efficacy was proven to mediate the effect of work-based learning and university support on vocational students’ career adaptability. Career self-efficacy does not mediate the effect of curriculum relevance on vocational students’ career adaptability. Discussion and Conclusion. The results of this study provide important implications for vocational education practitioners to promote career adaptability in the university environment through various work-based learning programs, curriculum relevance, university support, and career self-efficacy. Also, the result will guide the ongoing WBL curriculum review and improvement in Malaysia and Indonesia.

The massive consumption of conventional recyclable products causes environmental pollution, so it is very important to raise public awareness about the use of green plastics. This study assessed a comprehensive understanding of the behavioural intention model of green plastic products from the perspective of the new generation. This study uses data collected from 551 new-generation customers of environmentally friendly recyclable plastic products in Indonesia. Data analysis employing partial least squares reveals that the behavioural intention model, including perceived quality, perceived value, trust, and satisfaction as determinants, is a fit across these generation cohorts. Further, this study claims that customer satisfaction is the main driver of behavioural intention, while trust is the main determinant of satisfaction with green plastic products for both generations. Finally, this study shows that millennial satisfaction is driven by perceived value, whereas new-generation satisfaction is determined by perceived quality. The study only considered behavioural intention, including quality, value, trust, and satisfaction as the drivers, meanwhile, other potential factors could influence the intention significantly as well. These findings specifically apply to green plastic products but not to other kinds of green products. In addition, the government can devise better policies supporting green products by offering tax incentives for recyclable products.

This study explores the accountants’ (academic, auditor, and attorney) perspective on tax amnesty to enhance tax compliance dimensions in a slippery slope framework in Indonesia. Data were extracted by interviewing accountants, and the manuscripts analyzed from three perspectives, namely values, governance, and prosperity, to ground the values of the Pancasila Ideology in fundamental tax strategy. The behavior of taxpayers participating in Tax Amnesty (TA) and the Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP) is a rational choice from the perspective of values in terms of the value of economic benefits. Accountants’ views from values, governance, and prosperity perspectives are that TA and VDP have not been able to improve long-term compliance; therefore, a derivative policy is required after TA and VDP. It is highly recommended to develop a policy for tracking assets reported in the TA and VDP as potential future taxes, not by developing a similar policy in the form of tax amnesty. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of fundamental sincerity values, balancing governance, and a sustainable prosperity viewpoint within the extended slippery slope framework.

Multifunctional, integrated, and independent microwave sensor (MS) with dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) for solid material characterization and radio frequency communication is presented. The proposed device is developed using a multi-coupled line resonator structure to integrate both multiplexing (MUX) and demultiplexing functionalities (DEMUX). On the input side, the circuit behaves like a MUX, divided into three main sections: Path I, Path II, and the MS structure. Path I and Path II sections feature a pair of coupled-line configurations for the lower-band BPF (LB-BPF) with ladder-based resonators and upper-band BPF (UB-BPF) with hairpin-based resonators, respectively. Additionally, the MS structure employs a ring resonator configuration, positioned between Path I and Path II. On the output side, the circuit behaves like a DEMUX, combining back into a single port. As a result, the dual-band BPF has frequency centers of 1.80 GHz (LB-BPF) and 2.56 GHz (UB-BPF) suitable for 4G and 5G applications, respectively. Moreover, the dual-band BPF exhibits independent characteristics, with easily controllable frequency centers and fractional bandwidths. Furthermore, for the MS function, the frequency of maximum transmission (MT) and the transmission zero (TZ) were utilized for MS evaluation. Solid materials with low permittivity (ε _r ) ranging from 1 to 9.5 were used as samples. The MS achieved a normalized sensitivity of 2.60% and 1.98% for MT and TZ, respectively. Interestingly, the integration of LB-BPF, UB-BPF, and MS shows independent performances and does not influence each other. This behavior is linked to distinctive electric field locations. Finally, compared to prior structures, the proposed design offers several advantages, including: 1) multifunctional capability by combining a dual-band MS and dual-band BPF, 2) independent and simultaneous characteristics, and 3) full integration with a simple structure based on 2-port single-layered substrate design.
