Using a quantitative correlational design, data were gathered from 262 high school student through validated questionnaires measuring teacher management style, classroom environment, self - efficacy ,and learning motivation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics,Pearson product - moment correlation, multiple regression, and structural equation modeling. Result showed that among teacher management style,obtained the highest mean (M=4.14), while the indulgent style had the lowers (M = 3. 24). Classroom environment was generally perceived positively (M = 3.94 ) with task orientation receiving the highest mean (M = 4.18 ). Student also manifested self- efficacy (M = 3.18) and high learning motivation (M = 4.01). Significant positive relationships were found between classroom environment and self- efficacy, particularly in student cohesiveness (r=.656,p<.001) and teacher support (r=.546, p <.001). Regression analysis further revealed significant predictive models for affective motivation (F=36.539,p<.001,R2= .463), cognitive motivation (F=96.613,p<.001,R2=.529). moral motivation (F=40.388,p

  Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern that is influenced by lifestyle factors such as breaking skipping, dietary patterns, sleep pattern , and others. In Malaysia, one in every three children is overweight or obese. Understanding the influence of skipping breakfast and sleep patterns among children as mediated by dietary pattern is essential to identify the problems ad to plan for a program that encourages healthy behaviors among children and to combat childhood obesity. This study involved 7 public schools with 247 primary schools children. These schools were randomly selected by drawing lots from all schools while the respondents were identified through convenience sampling. Data on breakfast skipping dietary pattern , and sleep pattern were collected using a self-constructed questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Correlation analysis, and multiple regression were employed to determine predictors of body mass index (BMI) and their association. Most respondents were classified as irregular breakfast skippers and reported fair sleep pattern and dietary pattern, showing irregular breakfast habits, inconsistent sleep schedules, and irregular eating habits. Comparison of BMI by , sex , and ethnicity revealed no significant differences. Regression analysis indicated that breakfast skipping and sleep pattern were not significant predictors of BMI , while dietary patterns significantly predicted BMI. Correlation analysis a statistically significant , weak positive correlation between sleep pattern and dietary pattern, and significant negative association between dietary patterns and , indicating that better sleep patterns leads to healthier dietary pattern and healthier dietary patterns were linked to lower BMI. A nutrition promotion program focusing on improving children;'s dietary patterns and reinforcing sleep pattern is recommended. Further studies that iclude additional lifestyle and psychosocial variable a more comprehensive understanding of BMI determinants in children.

  This study examines how innovation characteristics, brand gestalt, and brand trust influence brand loyalty among Generation Z consumers in Indonesian E-marketplaces, with technology acceptance factors serving as a mediating variable and sex as moderating variables. The research was conducted to address the growing challenge faced by E-marketplaces in sustaining loyalty among Generation Z, a highly digital, price-sensitive, and experience-driven consumer group whose loyalty is easily shaped by technological innovation and brand experience. A quantitative, descriptive-correlational, and explanatory research design with a cross-sectional survey approach was employed. Data were collected from Generation Z college students across selected universities in Central Indonesia using a structured questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling using Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) was applied to analyze direct, mediating, and moderating effects. The findings show that Generation Z exhibits a generally positive but moderate level of brand loyalty, with strong intentions to continue using and recommending E-marketplace platforms, although loyalty remains sensitive to price and emotional attachment. Innovation characteristics, brand gestalt, and brand trust each demonstrate strong, positive, and significant relationships with both technology acceptance factors and brand loyalty. Technology acceptance factors significantly predict brand loyalty and partially mediate the effects of innovation characteristics and brand trust, while fully mediating the effect of brand gestalt on brand loyalty. No significant differences in brand loyalty were found across sex and age, and neither variable significantly moderated the examined relationships. Overall, the results confirm that technology acceptance is a critical mechanism through which innovation, brand.
