Welcome Message from Vice Chancellor
It is my honour and privilege to welcome all delegates to our Perdana International Conference 2021 with the theme “Where the Past and the Future is Present”, held in conjunction with the 10th Anniversary of the University.
The University is well on its way to more exciting ventures in terms of offering cutting edge programs and premium learning and research experiences. In that sense, this is a timely event. This Conference will address fundamental issues in the practical application of the Behavioral, Business, Medical and Data Sciences, which anyone invested in the future progress of these disciplines should not miss.
We look forward to an excellent meeting with Scholars from countries around the world, sharing new and exciting academic/intellectual discourse, and we thank you for making this a truly international Conference in every sense of the word.
I record my deepest gratitude to the Organizing Committee and All who have contributed in making this Conference a success.

Welcome Message from Conference Chair
Welcome to Perdana International Conference 2021. We are excited to welcome you to our new city campus, and we are pleased you can join us in this auspicious event held in conjunction with our 10 Anniversary.
The year 2020 and 2021 have brought about so many changes to our daily norms, wellbeing and quality of life, reminding us how our ecology is an essential part of us. I believe the conference’s theme reflects our motto, “Where the past and the future is present”, is best-suited and provides an opportunity to address critical issues we can learn from past and current experience to improve our future. Therefore, I am looking forward to welcoming the academicians, researchers, students, and crucial partners from various fields to present their essential work, reflecting learnings aligned with the conference tracks.
The four conference tracks are business, behavioural, data, and health science; all are relevant and responsive to our community’s growing needs. Every strategy of success should be focused on the elimination of risks and innovative opportunities. During this conference, we will have to focus on intellectual efforts on how to combine measures towards a new sense of appreciation for when we do get back to normalcy again.
I wish for inspiring and successful ideas. See you at this conference.

Conference Tracks
With the ongoing pressure of the pandemic, many people are experiencing the effects of the aftermath. Understanding the long-term symptoms of the coronavirus, it is clear that the virus will continue to impact our health in the future. Even when the risk of the pandemic may improve after achieving herd immunity but there is a high degree of uncertainty surrounding the duration of the crisis, especially with the possibility of recurring waves of the virus. In this track, we will primarily focus on advocacy, policy, accessibility for both communicable and non-communicable diseases and its impact on communities, health promotion and diseases prevention, the impact on health determinants, health risk and challenges of the aftermath.
Data science not only requires the scientific theory and application towards making sense of the data/information, but also the peripheral technology and innovation that help data science practitioners process the data/information. This track will focus on research technology and innovation, which could help data science practitioners accelerate data extraction, transformation, analyses, and visualization/interpretation in the areas of healthcare, genomics and proteomics, e-commerce, media and so forth.

Human behaviour is at the heart of understanding pressing societal issues (e.g., inequality and intergroup conflict). Behavioural sciences encompass teachings from multidisciplinary perspectives that includes, but not limited to, psychology, sociology, social policy, and anthropology. This track will focus on research relating to the most pressing concerns to behavioural and social scientists today, for example: physical and mental health stressors, risk-seeking behaviours, inequality, and social policy. There is also scope to focus on behaviour change interventions relevant to health promotion behaviour, and the feasibility of behaviour change interventions as applied to the coronavirus pandemic.
