Abstract

Introduction: Compared to earlier times, university students are showing low physical activity levels. Compared to university students in the USA, students at Indian higher education institutions are 30% less physically active. The habits and beliefs formed at this stage of life are expected to have a long-term influence. Yoga is considered an alternative therapy effective in improving physical and mental health. Assessing the factors influencing university students' yoga adoption intentions is essential. Aims: To evaluate the selected university students' physical activity level and the mediating role of cues to action. Methods: The research design is cross-sectional and causal. The response of 120 university students was collected. The analysis is based on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), and the software used includes SmartPLS and Microsoft Excel. Results – The study confirms the full mediation role of cue to action on the relationship between positive attitude for yoga and behavioral intentions to adopt yoga (effect = 0.179, t = 3.098, p < 0.002). Similarly, cue to action partially mediates the relationship between friend's support for yoga and behavioral intentions to adopt yoga (effect = 0.102, t = 2.34, p < 0.019). Conclusion: The university administrators should increase the cue to action for adopting health promotion behavior, including yoga at all levels, i.e., individual, relationships, community, social and policy making. To begin with, interventions such as developing educational videos, mandatory health promotion courses, and a buddy system can be started.

Abstract

The present research compares and contrasts the legal institutional framework of the disaster management system between India and Indonesia. The primary objective of this research is to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the disaster management frameworks of both countries, identifying their strengths and weaknesses, and suggesting potential improvements to the existing system. The introduction part of the study presents an overview of disaster management efforts worldwide and in Asia, followed by a literature review of several studies conducted to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of disaster management frameworks in various countries. The second part of the study presents a holistic overview of the disaster management systems in India and Indonesia, including disaster profiles, disaster risk and vulnerability, disaster preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery strategies, as well as the legal and institutional frameworks of both countries. The research reveals that both nations should move beyond merely managing the risk. They should associate and integrate climate change adaptation strategies with disaster risk reduction. The research work set the stage for a deeper exploration of the complexities, innovations, and collaborations necessary to navigate the dynamic landscape of disaster risk and climate change adaptation in India and Indonesia.
