Seafood Consumption and Production Trends – Singapore Market Study
The research project seeks to provide WWF-Singapore with detailed information around trends in seafood supply and apparent
consumption in Singapore, with a focus at the species level. The analysis will also involve the calculations around the volume of
certified and non-certified seafood imported into and exported from Singapore, disaggregated by species. The analysis will also seek
to both identify the sectors and respective major buyers that are importing seafood, and calculate seafood import volume (down to
species level) for each identified sector/buyer. Finally, the analysis will also seek to cover total production volume of local
aquaculture farms, disaggregated by species, and the market share of individual farms. The results from this study will be used to
inform WWF-Singapore’s seafood strategy
Development of job-fit instrument for blue collar workers
The goal of this project is to develop job fit criteria for blue-collar workers. Job fit criteria are the specific skills, abilities, and personality traits required for a particular job. For blue-collar workers, these criteria may include physical strength, manual dexterity, and the ability to work in a noisy or dirty environment. The project team will also conduct interviews and surveys with blue-collar workers, hiring managers, and industry experts to gather information on the skills and qualities that are most important for success in these types of jobs. This information will be used to develop a set of job fit criteria that can be used by employers to identify the best candidates for blue-collar positions. The final deliverables for this project will include a comprehensive report detailing the job fit criteria for blue-collar workers, as well as papers for academic journals.

Evaluation of functional feed additives to control diseases of importance in aquaculture species in Singapore & the tropics
Aim: Evaluation of functional feed additives to control diseases of importance in aquaculture species in Singapore & the tropics. Specific feed
additives to be tested 1. Medium chain organic acids for improved gut health in fry at weaning and early nursery fish, and 2. Monoglycerides
to improve resistance against virus in late nursery and early stage grow-out fish. 2 Phase Study 1. Trial organic acids in weaning and early
nursery diet @Allegro 2. Mono-glycerides late nursery and early grow-out stage fingerlings at SAT. Select functional feeds will be evaluated
in weaned and early nursery fish at Allegro, and late nursery/ early grow-out at SAT, using a combination of growth rates, FCRs,
histopathology, haematology, transcriptomics (gene expression), qPCR of tissue and environmental samples, host and environmental
microbiome analyses.
AI vs. Human: A Randomized Controlled Trial Experiment in Assessing Tourist Destinations’ Comment Attractiveness Among Generation Z Consumers

The Connectedness of Oil Price Shock, Green Bond and Geopolitical Risk
We propose a research study to explore the interconnectedness of oil price shock, green bond market, and geopolitical risk, with the following aims: (1) to identify the type of oil price shock (demand/supply/risk-related shock) that exerts a larger impact on the green bond market; (2) to investigate whether the oil price shock, green bond, and geopolitical risk act as a risk transmitter or receiver; (3) to examine the dynamic connectedness and determine which events (such as the Global Financial Crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Middle East crisis) significantly increase or decrease the interconnectedness.
Navigating Online Psychology Learning Amidst COVID-19: Examining the Role of Academic Resilience, Self-Efficacy, and Social Support
The International Conference on Psychology Learning and Teaching (PLAT-2024) focuses on the challenges and issues related to psychology learning and how they affect the mental health and well-being of students. Our research is closely aligned with the conference theme and will offer an excellent opportunity to showcase our research and foster future collaboration. We examined how social support, academic resilience, and self-efficacy can affect online psychology learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicate that a strong online learning platform that offers social support and develops students' academic self-efficacy can enhance academic resilience.

Understanding employees’ perspectives on the usage of Mandai Animal Care Application
In today’s work environment which is defined by digital transformation, the convergence of technology and productivity has brought about a paradigm shift in how employees manage their daily work responsibilities (Singh et al., 2020). Once synonymous with personal convenience, mobile applications have emerged as indispensable tools in the professional landscape. As organizations strive to adapt to an ever-evolving business environment, mobile application development for work has become a focal point of innovation and efficiency (Leong et al., 2020). Besides, the growing popularity of mobile technology has ushered in a new era where work knows no bounds. Besides, employees carry their work with them, securely and conveniently, within the confines of their smartphones and tablets (Pillai et al., 2021). This transformation is not about portability but signifies a fundamental shift in how work is organized, executed, and experienced. Within this context, our research examines the usage experience of mobile work applications and the critical factors that encourage mobile application adoption.
The purpose of this project is twofold.
First, we examine the intricacies of the usage experience of a work mobile application. We would target to answer questions like - What makes these apps effective tools for productivity? How do they influence the work-life balance of employees? Are there specific design features that contribute to a more seamless user experience?
Second, our project seeks to discover the factors driving the adoption of work mobile applications. Understanding what motivates individuals and organizations to embrace these tools is pivotal for developers, businesses, and policymakers. These factors could include usability, security, cost-effectiveness, and organizational culture.
Our project adopts a two-studies approach to accomplish these objectives, combining interviews and user surveys, as follows:
(a) Study 1 identifies the perspectives on employees’ usage experience and factors driving the adoption or non-adoption of the work mobile application.
(b) Study 2 involves the deployment of the survey to measure the usage experience and draw relationships with micro-, meso- and macro-outcomes
