Abstract

General Background The furniture manufacturing industry relies on complex production processes and natural raw materials, creating vulnerability to supply chain disruptions that threaten production continuity. Specific Background PT XYZ, a furniture manufacturer in East Java, experiences recurring problems in its upstream supply chain, particularly delays, material inconsistencies, and operational disruptions related to wood-based raw materials used in table production. Knowledge Gap Previous studies on furniture supply chains have largely applied general risk management approaches, while structured and quantitative applications of the House of Risk method in upstream furniture supply chains remain limited. Aims This study aims to identify critical supply chain risks, prioritize dominant risk agents, and formulate mitigation strategies using the House of Risk framework. Results The analysis identifies 21 risk events and 26 risk agents, with 11 dominant risk agents accounting for more than 80% of aggregate risk potential, primarily related to human error, material variability, storage conditions, coordination issues, and incomplete drying of wood. Novelty This study demonstrates the structured application of the House of Risk method in the upstream segment of the furniture supply chain, an area that has received limited empirical attention. Implications The findings provide practical guidance for furniture manufacturers to strengthen supply chain resilience through targeted mitigation strategies such as training, standardization, digital coordination, and material quality control, while also contributing empirical evidence to supply chain risk management literature. Highlights: Dominant supply chain vulnerabilities originate from human error, raw material variability, and storage conditions. A small group of risk agents accounts for the majority of upstream supply chain disruptions. Structured mitigation prioritization supports systematic risk handling in furniture manufacturing operations.

Abstract

General Background: Listening is a core receptive skill in English language learning and remains challenging for EFL learners due to limited exposure, time constraints, and difficulties in processing spoken language. Specific Background: At SMA Negeri 1 Bangil, short instructional hours and the absence of varied digital media have constrained students’ mastery of listening, particularly in understanding procedure texts. Knowledge Gap: Although audiovisual media are widely discussed, empirical classroom-based evidence on the use of animated videos for senior high school listening instruction in time-limited contexts remains limited. Aims: This study aims to examine whether the use of animated videos as learning media supports students’ English listening skill development within restricted classroom time. Results: Using a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design with tenth-grade students, the findings show a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, supported by normality testing and a paired sample t-test with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05). Novelty: The study provides contextual evidence from a senior high school setting where animated videos had not previously been integrated into English instruction, addressing teacher concerns about practicality and classroom time limitations. Implications: The results suggest that animated videos can serve as a practical digital learning medium to support listening instruction, offering educators an alternative strategy for delivering procedure text material and managing limited instructional time in English language classrooms. Highlights: Statistically significant score differences were identified between assessments administered before and after the learning intervention. Quantitative testing confirmed that the collected data met normality requirements for hypothesis analysis. Classroom application demonstrated the feasibility of audiovisual materials under restricted instructional time conditions. Keywords: Animated Videos, Listening Skills, English Education, Procedure Text, Digital Learning Media

Abstract

General Background: The rapid expansion of digital platforms has reshaped consumer behavior and pricing strategies, creating distinct dynamics between online and offline markets. Specific Background: While e-commerce fosters impulsive and socially driven purchases influenced by dynamic and value-based pricing, offline markets remain tied to stable pricing and tangible shopping experiences. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies often analyze pricing strategies in isolation, lacking a comprehensive synthesis that bridges offline and online contexts within the modern omnichannel landscape. Aims: This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of research published between 2021–2025 to identify effective pricing approaches for both consumer segments. Results: The review of 20 peer-reviewed articles highlights that dynamic pricing, value-based pricing, and Pay-What-You-Want (PWYW) are central strategies, with effectiveness moderated by consumer psychology, product attributes, and channel structures. Online consumers respond strongly to personalized, transparent, and flexible pricing, while offline consumers prioritize experiential value and price stability. Novelty: The study integrates theoretical and empirical insights into a unified framework that reveals the critical role of psychological factors, ethics, and digital transformation in shaping pricing effectiveness. Implications: Findings underscore the importance for businesses to design adaptive, technology-driven pricing strategies that harmonize offline and online channels while sustaining consumer trust and long-term competitiveness. Highlights: Online consumers are strongly influenced by dynamic pricing, social commerce, and impulsive buying Offline consumers rely on stable pricing and hands-on product experiences Omnichannel strategies demand price consistency across digital and physical channels Keywords :Dynamic Pricing, Consumer Behavior, Online Shopping, Offline Retail, Value-Based Pricing

Abstract

General Background: Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder influenced by both environmental and genetic factors, particularly those affecting dopamine regulation. Specific Background: The catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene, particularly the rs4680 Val158Met polymorphism, plays a crucial role in dopamine metabolism and has been implicated in addiction susceptibility. Knowledge Gap: While several studies link COMT variants to substance use disorders, evidence from Middle Eastern populations, especially Iraq, remains limited. Aims: This study aimed to assess the association between the COMT rs4680 polymorphism and vulnerability to drug and alcohol addiction in an Iraqi male cohort. Results: Analysis of 90 samples revealed a significantly higher frequency of the A allele and AA genotype in addicts compared to controls. The AA genotype was associated with a 14.55-fold and 17.14-fold increased risk of drug and alcohol addiction, respectively, while the GA genotype showed intermediate risk. Novelty: This is among the first studies to examine this genetic association in an Iraqi context, highlighting the contribution of COMT polymorphism to addiction predisposition. Implications: The findings suggest potential for genetic screening and personalized intervention strategies targeting dopaminergic pathways in addiction prevention and treatment.Highlight : The A allele of the rs4680 polymorphism is significantly associated with increased addiction risk. The AA genotype shows a strong correlation with both drug and alcohol addiction. The GA genotype indicates moderate vulnerability to addictive behavior.
