Abstract
This literature review examines social work's current status and prospects within Indonesia's disaster management system. Indonesia's location within the seismically active "Ring of Fire" makes it highly susceptible to frequent and devastating natural disasters, underscoring the critical role of social work in disaster response, recovery, and mitigation. However, a significant gap exists in the literature regarding social work's involvement in Indonesia's disaster management. This review will analyze available global research on social work in disaster management, extrapolating potential applications to the Indonesian context while acknowledging the inherent limitations of such an approach. The analysis will focus on the current integration of social work into disaster management systems; the effectiveness of existing social work interventions; the challenges and limitations faced by social workers; and recommendations for improving the role and impact of social work in disaster management, with specific consideration for the Indonesian context.

Abstract
Cyberbullying refers to aggressive behaviors that occur online, intending to hurt, especially where there is an imbalance of power in the relationship. Continuous online harassment can lead to severe emotional distress, reinforcing feelings of inadequacy and social fear, creating a vicious cycle of negative self-perception and increased anxiety. The study determined the relationship of cyberbullying with social anxiety, self-concept, and mental health of undergraduate students in a public university in Anambra State. We adopted a correlational research design. We selected 360 undergraduates under the Faculty of Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The data were collected using four instruments: the Cyberbullying Questionnaire (CbQ), Mental Health Questionnaire (MHQ), Social Anxiety Questionnaire (SAQ), and Self-Concept Questionnaire (SCQ). The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The findings indicated a significant relationship prevails between cyberbullying and university students' mental health, social anxiety, and self-concept. Based on the study's findings, it was suggested that students should be exposed to social media literacy education to reduce cyber victimization and guard against it.

Abstract
Culturally and historically, the migration of Champa immigrants to Malaysia shows the complicated interaction between environmental adaptation and social-psychological procedures as a significant event. From 1975, this migration was part of a government-led immigration policy that caused the first generation of Champa immigrants to Malaysia. With cultural ecology and social identity principle, the study examines how these immigrants have overcome to environmental challenges and controlled social and mental variations over the past five decades. Based on fieldwork, interviews, and file analysis, the research digs ecological adaptation measures, cultural identity protection, and the difficulties of marginalization and integration into Malaysian society. From a cultural ecology view, Champa immigrants show tough abilities to adapt to their environment and sustain their livelihoods by agriculture, fishing, and trade in many areas. These conventional activities provide financial steadiness and cultivate association with local Malaysian communities. However, the integration procedure is usually impeded by systemic marginalization, leading to relatively restricted involvement in wider Malaysian social and cultural frameworks. On basis of social identity principle, how Champa immigrants actively preserve their cultural identity by conventional customs, religious measures, and cultural rituals, is highlighted. These act as core points of their collective identity and an origin of resilience against assimilation stress. This dual attention to ecological adaptation and cultural identity, and also emphasizes how immigrants control the difficulties of a novel environment and protect a deep relationship with their cultural roots. The outcomes highlight the interconnection among the environment, social identity, and community resilience, providing precious understandings of the complicated procedures of migration, adaptation, and the protection of culture in diasporic communities.

Abstract
Digital fatigue, a condition arising from prolonged engagement with digital tools, significantly affects employee productivity and well-being. This scoping review explores the contributing factors, consequences, and mitigation strategies related to digital fatigue in professional settings. A systematic search of peer-reviewed literature (2010–2025) identified key themes, including cognitive overload, the impact of synchronous vs. asynchronous communication, and the blurring of work-life boundaries. Findings indicate that excessive digital engagement leads to mental exhaustion, reduced job performance, and heightened stress. Contradictions in the literature highlight the need for contextualized approaches to digital communication. Practical recommendations include hybrid communication strategies, digital wellness programs, and revised organizational policies to support employee well-being. Future research should employ longitudinal and experimental methods to assess the evolving nature of digital fatigue and its long-term impact on workplace dynamics. By integrating sustainable digital practices, organizations can mitigate digital fatigue and foster a healthier, more productive workforce.

Abstract
Early English exposure has a big impact on children’s language development and future learning, especially as English becomes more and more important as an international language. Children’s attitudes (CA) and behaviors toward learning English can be influenced by their parents. This study aims to give a thorough examination of the relationship between CA about learning English, parental beliefs (PB), and the home literacy environment (HLE). In this study, the authors performed a bibliometric analysis from the Web of Science (WoS) database on PB, HLE, and CA towards learning English, covering from January 2000 to February 2024. Using VOSviewer and Citespace software for keyword clustering, timeline and burst analysis, the authors explored the interdisciplinary nature and collaborative characteristics of the research. A comprehensive search of the WoS databases yielded 1,102 studies, of which 109 met the inclusion criteria for analysis. The findings advance the understanding of key themes and hotspots in children’s English learning development. The results highlight how important family learning contexts, PB, and literacy variety are in influencing CA toward learning English. These insights are invaluable for educators and parents working to support children’s English language learning and foster positive educational attitudes.
