Evaluation of functional feed additives to control diseases of importance in aquaculture species in Singapore & the tropics
Susan Kueh
15 Oct 2021 - 14 Oct 2022
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
Kim Lim Tan
02 Jan 2024 - 31 Dec 2024

The Connectedness of Oil Price Shock, Green Bond and Geopolitical Risk
Sook Rei Tan
01 May 2024 - 31 Dec 2024
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.
11th European Conference on Positive Psychology - Conference Application
Maria Hennessy
06 Jul 2024 - 15 Jul 2024
Conference funding is requested for attendance at the 11th European Conference on Positive Psychology which is being held in July, 2024 in Innsbruck, Australia. This is a biannual conference which attracts the leading global researchers in the field. We have had a poster presentation accepted for the conference, based on JCUS research investigation wellbeing in Singapore.
Consultancy - Aquatic Animal Health & Biosecurity Bali 29 June - 01 July 2024
Susan Kueh
29 Jun 2024 - 01 Jul 2024
The purpose of this consultancy is to review the fish health management and biosecurity practices at 2 marine aquaculture facilities that farms mainly barramundi/ Asian seabass and groupers. The farms are interested in improving these practices, and better manage important common diseases in these two aquaculture species. Adisseo Asia Pacific will be paying for the consultancy fees and all travel expenses related to this trip, as part of their extension outreach to fish farms in the AP region.
Understanding employees’ perspectives on the usage of Mandai Animal Care Application
Kim Lim Tan
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
High frequency analysis of financial stress index of ASEAN-5
Sook Rei Tan
01 Feb 2021 - 31 Dec 2021
This study aims to construct financial stress index (FSI) for ASEAN-5 countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand), taking into consideration time-varying correlations across different financial market segments. The expected outcome of this study is to obtain a reliable set of daily financial stress index which would enable us to quantify financial stresses facing the region in the COVID-19 period. Given the fast-evolving situation during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative to develop a high-frequency dataset that can monitor the potential frailty of the regional financial markets in a real-time manner.
Determinants of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) Spillovers and Spillbacks
Sook Rei Tan
01 Jan 2023 - 31 Dec 2023
We propose a research study of EPU with three key objectives. First, this research aims to investigate the cross-country connectedness of EPU based on Diebold and Yilmaz's (2012) methodology. Second, we will estimate both EPU spillovers (risks transmitted to other countries) and EPU spillbacks (risks received from other countries) for each country in the sample. This may provide insight into asymmetric EPU propagation between emerging and advanced economies. Third, this study aims to examine the determinants of EPU spillovers and spillbacks using the panel data regression technique.
Mind your own business, you are a pest! A study on workplace nosiness and its impact on employees
Kim Lim Tan
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.
Fish Detection Conference
Ghazalnaz Sharifonnasabi
15 Oct 2024 - 20 Oct 2024
. In the evolving landscape of aquaculture, maintaining optimal fish health is pivotal for sustainability and productivity. Traditional health monitoring methods are labor-intensive and subject to human error, leading to inconsistencies in early disease detection and treatment. Utilizing the data obtained from James Cook University Singapore Aquaculture Laboratory consisting of videos of seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) movements. We implemented a YOLOv8-based detection system to facilitate faster and more accurate detection of seabass under typical farming conditions. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, achieving a mean Average Precision (mAP) at the 50th percentile intersection over union (IoU) threshold of 0.824 and a mAP between the 50th and 95th percentiles of 0.358. Future work will focus on expanding this detection system to perform real-time behaviour analysis through fish trajectory tracking under various environmental conditions, enhancing early disease detection capabilities.
