“…The regression coefficient of human capital is significantly negative in the national, eastern and central regions, while it is significantly positive in the western part. Investment in human capital helps to narrow the development gap of construction industry in central and western regions, and education plays an important role in the cultivation of human capital (Altaf et al, 2022). The improvement of human capital contributes to spatial convergence at the national, eastern and central regions and to narrowing regional differences.…”

The green development quality of the construction industry has vital environmental and economic effects. To explore regional differences and convergence, and further provide a reference for the government. Based on the panel data of construction industry development in 31 provinces from 2006 to 2020, this study measured the green development quality of the construction industry in two-dimensional space-time, focuses on the regional differences, the dynamic evolution trend and the convergence of distribution. The findings supported the fact that the green development quality of construction industry was fluctuating upward trend, the overall difference decreased, and the regional difference showed heterogeneity. The convergence rate in the central region was higher than that in the western region, and there was an obvious “catch-up effect.” The green development quality of the construction industry in the national, central region and western region has absolute β convergence. The green development quality of the construction industry in the national, the eastern region and the central region has conditional β convergence. The influence of control variables shows heterogeneity. Based on the conclusions of this study, policy recommendations are put forward from the aspects of science and technology investment, human capital investment and green construction mode.

After the rise of the freemium business model, the video games industry emerged as a popular source of entertainment in Malaysia. In this modern free game model, virtual content trading is considered a great source of revenue generation for game developers and publishers. Millions of players around the world participate in this activity and purchase virtual items. In this study, we focus on exploring the motives of Malaysian youth for purchasing these in-game virtual products. By employing purposive sampling, qualitative data were collected by means of conducting in-depth interviews with game players who purchase virtual products. This study explored seven important factors: the desire for uniqueness, the desire for dominance, the desire for skillfulness, social interaction, the desire for freedom, social affiliation, and enjoyment, which strongly influence Malaysian players’ behavior toward in-game content consumption during video game playing. Gamers and game developers can benefit from the findings of the present study to customize the in-game virtual product design strategies as per the expectations of respondents. Keywords: free-to-play, video games, freemium, virtual purchasing, purchase intention

“…Life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is an effective tool for the financial sustainability of a construction project, from a survey in Malaysia, only 4.4% had a good understanding of this tool,21.8% unaware of this technique [84]. Green building involves higher environmental and social sustainability; Green House emissions can be reduced to 50% and saving up to 8.5% using renewable energy sources in the building usage [77].…”

The response of building elements during earthquakes has been an area of concern for different researchers around the world. The NSEs are the first elements to attain failure, the buildings after damages in safety priority are classified as in “Life Safety” mode, but in reality, they are in “Collapse Safety” mode and the occupants inside the buildings are in a state of “Non-Life Safety” as a result of falling of the hazardous NSE’s like cladding's, partitions, hanging objects. In addition to the Life Cycle Cost Assessment (LCCA), the Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) is overlooked by the majority of the researchers, the community must be prepared to respond to an event more efficiently without any major casualties or loss of life. It is expected that by the end of 2050, almost double the construction will take place, the embodied energy during the pre-construction, post-construction and demolition generates a lot of CO2s into the environment, hence sustainability should be given due importance, helping in the achievement of Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs).
