I held academic postings (research fellow) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore; International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies, (IAIS) Malaysia. During these periods, I worked closely with Principal Investigators on Climate Crisis and Cultural Loss, The Rise of Green Environment in Global Environmental Politics and Forestry.
As a teaching associate at NTU, I teach Sociology of Risk and Crisis to fourth-year students. I was also the managing editor for special issue journal with Wellington University in New Zealand. Grounded in my doctoral research on forestry, I possess a profound understanding of environmental policies and socio ecological history and specialization in Environmental Governance.

Ethereum surged, provoking debates among scholars on its permissibility for the future of the Islamic
economy.
Furthermore, the interest for this innovation extends into the Gulf and Southeast Asia
countries, and at the time of writing this paper, regulators, Shariah scholars, practitioners and
academics have begun to see its significance in the financial services industry; some tested the

international community?
Peer Reviewed Articles by Adha Shaleh
By integrating a comprehensive analysis of an evolving issue from various international perspectives, this article revisits and explores effective solutions to combat plastic pollution. We ask the key question: What are the policy interventions that have changed key stakeholders' behaviour towards plastics?
The analysis reveals five distinct themes in policy interventions that align with the ambitious United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) resolution to end plastic pollution:
(1) Addressing the plastic waste with regulations,
(2) Collective responsibilities in plastic reduction,
(3) Concerns in waste management and collection,
(4) Enhancing collection efforts through education, and
(5) The importance of technology to end plastic pollution.
We conclude with remarks on the importance of integrated approaches to the entire plastic life cycle from the beginning of its production to the end users in order to end plastic pollution.
More specifically, this writer envisions that the 21st century student must have three core competencies, including:
1) civic literacy, global awareness and cross cultural skills;
2) charismatic and compassionate personality and the ability to embrace cultural diversities; and
3) ecological literacy, and the ability to collaborate with international communities in sustainable projects.
Adding to these three categorical competencies, todays student also has to learn a specific set of technological skills to succeed in the 21st century workforce, predicted to be robustly rooted in artificial intelligence hyper-connected systems with minimal human intervention.
resources management. The third concept captures the idea that social bonds, norms, cultures, knowledge, attitudes, and information channels are central for a sustainable environment.
As a result, Indonesia has received great criticism from its neighbours. This disaster is mainly caused by the slash-and-burn methods used to clear land, claimed by many to be a local indigenous farming practice. However, instead of blaming the Indonesian authorities for their inefficient actions, other countries that benefit from Indonesia's resources should take responsibility and assist in addressing the issue by finding the root of the problem.
A thorough understanding of this matter is necessary and must be initiated by revisiting and exploring local community welfare, culture, and traditional wisdom in order to address and prevent transboundary haze issues.
This paper discusses the causes and results of transboundary haze and highlights the importance of traditional wisdom and Islamic teachings for the preservation of the environment (hifz al-bi'ah) and achieving sustainable development goals. It concludes with several policy recommendations for policymakers to consider as a means of preventing this issue from recurring in the future.

From the human technology perspective, the focus of online learning is that it would empower learners without being overly reliant on teachers. Human technology enables students to share ideas with peers without borders. The advanced online student learning space make this freedom possible.
From the human (without machine) perspective, a balanced level of activity allows for this entire evolution to progress well. Personally, I prefer a combination of online data, big data and offline human attribute. Offline attributes such as empathy, love, humanity, arts will survive machines.

The author sees an 'Opportunity that the disruptive trend in education has opened up is, for social entrepreneurs, to fill in the gap that the digital world has failed: the soft skills. Galvanising soft skills has its primacy in the digital age... from that point, the following attributes, critical thinking, communication, ethic, discipline, team player, public speaking, and confidence, grow.'
With that in mind, the author proposes to use experiential learning to encourage compassion and to prepare young people to become global citizens in this digital age. A platform that boosts design thinking and critical thinking should be continuously developed with a particular focus on Southeast Asia.

starts with team’s focus, team’s creativity, using modern devices, and leader’s willingness to focus on collective intelligence. In education, the ideal for teachers, lecturers, is producing innovative students, starting with online learning tools, mobile apps, video sharing, and game based learning programme. Th is means, the conventional belief that leaders in education hold the power to influence students, quickly has to go, as the process of distributing knowledge falls into the hands of ‘the internet communities’.
and learns wisdom from different cultural communities. Perhaps, the closest affirmation of ‘learning the wisdom from all people’ is found in the following Quranic verse:
‘O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other’ (49:13). This verse is also explicit
in its message on ‘knowing each other’ (li taarafu) as it is the foundation to strengthen our knowledge, competency and character.
Inspired by its unique features, the researcher carried out a qualitative research study of community forestry with the hope of exploring its possibilities in the South East Pahang Peat Swamp Forest (SEPPSF). In this regard, the researcher employed research methods that consisted of interviews, focus group discussions and field observations. The interviewees were asked to reflect on current forest management practices in SEPPSF. Other participants included government officials, social activists and researchers.
This study found that the SEPPSF offers a unique opportunity for collaborative forest care. To achieve this vision, however, there is a need to resuscitate the following three important elements of community forestry in SEPPSF: community empowerment in forest care; community land security; and community consultation for forest related activities.
In addition, this study recommends two contemporary models to prompt effective forest governance: a short-term community forestry project in SEPPSF and a long-term community forestry project for the Orang Asli. It is anticipated that this paper will provide a fresh perspective on collaborative forest management. Furthermore, it is hoped that its findings parallel increasing calls for holistically sustainable forest management in Malaysia.
