Educating diverse learners for local/global citizenship: Curriculum and pedagogical frameworks that bring global perspectives from the periphery to the core (Old ID 21948)
Caroline Wong
04 Dec 2014 - 30 May 2016
Securing enhanced student outcomes associated with global understandings and perspectives is this project's focus. It seek to ascertain how best to utilise and augment students' current service learning experiences in domestic and international settings to realise these outcomes through a process of identifying, analysing and evaluating existing curriculum and pedagogic practices.
Does Social Monitoring Reduce Procrastination? Findings from a Five-Day Study
Kunchana (Gi) Chouynuu
21 Jul 2024 - 26 Jul 2024
I propose to attend the 33rd International Congress of Psychology that will be held between 21 and 26 July 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The conference is usually held once every four years by the International Union of Psychological Science, a global organization representing psychology associations from different countries. I will present a study that examines how a social monitoring approach could alleviate procrastination. The abstract is accepted for an oral presentation. The study was supported by a JCUS IRG grant (IRG20210012). The conference is a suitable platform to present the research findings because it is a reputable conference attracting scholars to attend (typically attracting over 6000 participants). It is a platform where I can gain feedback for my research and its applicability in various branches of psychology. In the past 5 years, I have received a CPA grant to present my study at the 13th Biennial Conference of the Asian Association of Social Psychology. The study was published in 2022.
Supercharging barramundi production through advanced selective breeding for improved disease resistance, growth and fillet traits
Susan Kueh
01 Jan 2021 - 31 Dec 2025
Barramundi, or Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer, is the major aquaculture species farmed in Singapore and has wide consumer acceptance due to its white, firm flesh. The barramundi currently farmed in Singapore, however, have not been significantly improved through simultaneous selection to be resistant to major diseases (like scale drop disease), faster growth, or fillet characteristics. This project will use gold standard breeding methodologies that utilise genomics, industrial-scale phenotyping and cutting-edge digital technologies to select for barramundi that are more productive, have whiter flesh and possess a lower risk to farming due to disease in Singaporean waters. Outcomes from the project will be barramundi that have average survival to scale drop disease of 60%, grow 15% faster, and have increased fillet yields and white flesh colouration.

Life history and ecology analysis of the whitespotted whipray and sharpnose whipray: assessing vulnerability to fisheries.
Neil Hutchinson
01 Nov 2021 - 30 Nov 2022
The whitespotted whipray and sharpnose whipray (Endangered), are the preferred and most imported stingray species into Singapore for BBQ stingray. Understanding how vulnerable a species is to exploitation in relation to their ‘life history’ enables the creation of species-suitable fisheries management plans. A species’ life-history will answer questions such as: when do they reach maturity? How long do they live for? How many young do they have? While their ecology will give insight to their diet and habitat use. This information will enable understanding of their vulnerability, and help inform fisheries management and conservation throughout their range.
¬¬Mediating effect of capital flow between inter-state sanctions and economic growth: How successful is sanction in achieving its goals?
Sook Rei Tan
23 Jun 2024 - 27 Jun 2024
Asian Finance Annual Conference provides an open platform for finance scholars worldwide to present their recent research and exchange ideas on new developments in finance research. The majority of the sessions will include papers selected through open competition. The papers will be reviewed by a committee of established researchers. I will meet with journal editors of The Pacific Basin Finance Journal, the conference journal, to get an idea of how to increase my chance of getting my paper published in the Journal. I am looking forward to seeking feedback for the paper that I am going to present in the conference.
Mind your own business, you are a pest! A study on workplace nosiness and its impact on employees
Ai Ni Teoh
01 Aug 2024 - 31 Jul 2025
Workplace nosiness has been increasingly recognized as a detrimental factor affecting employee mental health and productivity. Studies have shown that intrusive behaviors lead to higher stress levels, decreased job satisfaction, and lower productivity. Despite this recognition, there is a lack of comprehensive research that systematically examines the antecedents, types, and impacts of workplace nosiness across different organizational contexts. This study aims to fill this gap by providing a detailed analysis of workplace nosiness and its effects. The research will contribute to the existing body of knowledge by identifying specific behaviors and practices that constitute workplace nosiness, demonstrating the direct and indirect impacts of nosiness on key employee outcomes, and offering practical recommendations for managers and organizations to address and reduce nosiness.
Understanding employees’ perspectives on the usage of Mandai Animal Care Application
Caroline Wong
01 Jan 2024 - 31 Dec 2024
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
Segmentation of Panoramic Dental Radiograph Using AI: AU-Net Based Approach
Ghazalnaz Sharifonnasabi
10 Dec 2024 - 13 Dec 2024
Dental radiographs, particularly panoramic X-rays, are critical for diagnosing and planning treatments for various dental conditions. Traditional manual analysis of these images is labor-intensive and prone to errors. Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially deep learning techniques, has transformed image segmentation tasks. This research investigates the application and comparative performance of four advanced AI-driven deep learning models—U-Net, TransUNet, V-Net, and UNet++—for segmenting dental structures in panoramic X-rays.
