The vital purpose of this study is to identify whether learning flexibility and environment will influence undergraduate students’ online learning during COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia. It is important to point out the determinants that will influence online learning that needs to be faced despite experiencing this world health crisis. The high level of online learning among students will also improve the performance of educational institutions which need to be competitive with other competitors in the sector. In addition, this study also aims to measure whether gender has significant difference on undergraduates’ online learning. Thus, survey questions from previous studies were adopted and customised to collect data. A sample of 129 undergraduate students from one UiTM branch campus who have experienced online learning in the previous semester in the year 2021. The results of this study indicate that there are significant relationships between learning flexibility, environment and online learning. The findings also reveal that the level of online learning among undergraduate students is moderate. Moreover, it is confirmed that gender has significant difference on online learning outcomes among the students. For future research, the use of more quizzes that can stimulate understanding of learning delivered online needs to be emphasized by knowledge communicators in this revolution of learning process.

Our nation has recently become quite concerned about the issue of environmental pollution, especially with the deterioration of river quality. The Department of Environment's monitoring efforts has revealed significant declines in the nation's river water quality. Focusing on all-encompassing and well-coordinated initiatives to improve the quality of life is essential for raising public awareness and fostering a sense of shared responsibility for the environment. The main objective of this study is to develop a spatial model using a Geographic Information System (GIS) for determining the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior among Kampung Laut respondents toward the conservation of the Ibai River in Terengganu, Malaysia. This study applied a quantitative methodology and collected its data through a survey method. By using clustered sampling, 78 respondents in all were chosen. The study was conducted in the Ibai rivers, which Terengganu had classified as contaminated. The statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 21 was used to analyze the data descriptively and inferentially, while GIS was employed for the spatial model. The data were gathered via a questionnaire. The findings show that the level of knowledge was high and attitude was at a moderate level.  Meanwhile, the findings depict that respondents' behavior in river conservation is low. The findings also show that knowledge and attitude did not correlate with environmental behavior. This study is critical and significant in ensuring the sustainability of the river. The stakeholders are also involved in this study's policy-making and efforts to address the problems of river pollution. The general public, regardless of age, can contribute to the ecosystem's well-being by teaching the next generation to cherish the environment, especially the rivers.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a strategic environmental analysis at the Inspectorate of Probolinggo Regency, East Java to improve the competence of auditors. The human resource development perspective is used here as a theoretical basis to identify factors both internally and externally, to then be identified and mapped in the form of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The results of this study reveal a description of the competitive environment of the Probolinggo Regency Inspectorate, especially in developing its auditors. Internally, the inspectorate environment is considered to be still less competitive due to the main weakness that stands out, namely the low personal awareness in auditor competency development. But the main strength identified is the internal training methods for auditors that are synchronized both inside and outside the workplace. Externally, the inspectorate environment is considered competitive considering the main opportunities, namely the existence of external training and competency tests for auditors, besides that the organization faces a major threat, namely changes in the landscape and the basis of the audit process in an organization.
