Article Abstract
This study aimed to develop and validate a motivation scale specifically designed for university students enrolled in Southeast Asian language programs. Utilizing a thematic analysis of interviews with 28 students, five key motivational dimensions were identified: institutional environment, proficiency demand, self-development planning, social responsibilities, and intrinsic interest. These dimensions informed the construction of an initial scale, which was empirically tested and refined through two rounds of validation. The final 19-item scale covers four core dimensions, excluding intrinsic interest, reflecting the dominance of instrumental motivations in this context. Results highlighted the practical and goal-oriented nature of these motivations, differing from the integrative motivations observed in learners of global languages like English. This study fills a research gap by offering a validated tool for assessing language learning motivation in smaller, regionally significant language programs and provides insights into the unique motivational factors driving these learners.

Health literacy (HL) is a fundamental factor in raising health awareness and self-management, especially in contexts with increasingly complicated health systems. Its accurate and culturally appropriate measurement is necessary to support effective medical interventions. Accordingly, we translated the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) into Vietnamese and analysed its psychometric properties on the basis of data derived from respondents who completed the translated instrument.

Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has caused a paradigm shift in forensic DNA analysis by enabling simultaneous examination of multiple genetic markers with higher resolution. Despite its growing importance, adoption in the 11 Southeast Asian countries remains limited. This paper reviews MPS implementation in forensic DNA laboratories across the region and discusses key adoption challenges.

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the causative agent of white spot disease, remains a serious threat to crustacean aquaculture. Infecting a wide range of crustaceans, host species exhibit varying susceptibility and mortality rates. Mud crabs, Scylla serrata, a high-value aquaculture commodity across the Indo-Pacific region, are known to be relatively resistant to WSSV.

The pathogenesis of dengue remains complex and incompletely understood. One proposed mechanism involves the virus evading host immune responses through the upregulation and/or secretion of immune-inhibitory molecules. This study investigates the association between plasma levels of soluble human leukocyte antigen G (sHLA-G), a known immunoregulatory molecule, and dengue severity in hospitalized patients.
