In the past decades, there was a growing demand in commodity vehicles that has contributed to the increase in market share of the automotive sector in many countries, including Japan and Korea. However, despite a lot of countries cherishing the significant sales in the automotive sector and also, Malaysia was not able to succeed. One example is Proton, which has failed with an immense decrease in market share and sales over the last two decades. The previous research has provided a dominant explanation for this failure as the lack of economies of scale, dependence at the home marketplace, technology development, Limited R&D, testing capabilities, compliance with worldwide standards, lack of professional workers, and poor linkages. I use the data from Tai and C.Y.Ku, Malaysian Investment Development Authority, Anazawa, and Ministry of International Trade and Industry to understand the organizational structure and industry performance. Similar to the previous findings, our findings indicated that the Malaysian automotive industry suffers from a lack of dynamics between state and private enterprises, a lack of scale efficiencies, and a reliance on domestic markets. Additionally, it made clear reference to the problems raised by Chang, Andreoni, and Rodrik. In contrast to Japan, where the automotive industry made a large contribution to the Gross domestic product, Malaysia's automotive industry, which includes companies like Proton, was unable to flourish and win the national championship.

There is substantial evidence to indicate that the biological human stress response, when activated frequently or during long periods of time, can cause physiological health problems, including immunosuppression, which is particularly dangerous among patients with AIDS and HIV. The secretion of stress hormones, such as glucocorticoids, leads to a decrease in CD4 white blood cells, and this can facilitate the progression of HIV to AIDS and also exacerbate the course of the disease. HIV/AIDS is often associated with elevated stress levels, as well as mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression. Mental illness can also affect disease progression through similar biological mechanisms, although there is a lack of definitive research in this area. Stress alleviation therapy should be considered an important part of the treatment of people living with HIV and AIDS. Research indicates that as well as preventing the negative effects of stress, stress reduction treatments may also alleviate the symptoms of antiretroviral therapy, both of which could vastly contribute to the quality of life and health of patients. In this paper, we examine the biological mechanisms through which stress can impact the immune system and review relevant research on stress, its impact on HIV, potential future research, the role of mental health in disease progression, and implications of these findings.

This paper investigates the relationship between colour and human experience. In particular, it explores people’s associations with colour, colour preferences across cultures, and how colours in one’s environment affect emotions and productivity.

Does physical exercise (PE) increase cognitive ability? A person's cognitive ability is linked with their ability to perform mental tasks associated with problem solving and learning (Kiely, 2014). Since cognitive performance is related to memory, many also question if memory related diseases such as Alzheimer's and Dementia could be prevented or treated if there was a way to increase a person’s cognitive ability. Therefore, for decades humans have been trying to figure out ways to improve our cognitive performance and abilities. Humans have been trying to understand how the brain works for centuries, with behavioural neuroscience studies taking form even during the 1700 BC(Columbia University, 2014). Because of my own personal experiences, myself being a professional athlete I have always contemplated if PE would have a positive impact on cognitive ability. Therefore, I set out to perform a meta-analysis on whether or not PE has any impact on a person’s cognitive abilities and what special requirements must be met for PE to influence cognitive ability. For example, if aerobic exercise like running would have the same effect as anaerobic exercise such as stretching. If it is shown that PE improves cognitive abilities, exercise can be a great method of prevention and rehabilitation for people with deteriorating cognitive abilities.

Art is one of the most ancient forms of human communication. It is a powerful tool for conveying emotions and information. Over the recent decade, the rapid growth adaptation of AI has resulted in the increased interest in its applications across a number of areas, including visual arts. Likewise, the black-box nature of many AI models has developed the need for their transparency, which generated the field of explainable AI (XAI). Previous research has examined visual arts perception and developed methods to predict emotions evoked by art. To our knowledge, no system exists that utilizes methods to make art emotion classification models interpretable. This work proposes a method to make AI emotion classification systems for art more explainable and compare AI’s perception to that of humans.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global and domestic supply chains and adversely affected Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). It also questioned governments dependence on international trade and finance. This paper adopts a descriptive approach and uses the history of economic crises to evaluate the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) response to the COVID-19. The paper's main policy recommendations are threefold: first, the economic consequences of the COVID-19 have required countries to impose powerful monetary stimuli such as adopting very low-interest-rate policies. However, the results suggest that fiscal policy should be prioritized over monetary policy. Second, the most viable solutions should involve long-term reforms rather than a set of extensive short-term fixes. Moreover, in light of recent anti-globalization trends, some of the closed-economy premises, such as capital control, could make emerging economies more resilient. Traditionally, moving towards a closed economy was considered an obstacle to sustainable economic growth for developing countries.
