Cyberpals: a web-based platform for enhancing cybersecurity awareness in Malaysia
No full textOn average, about 97 people fall victim to cybercrimes per hour, that is, one victim every 37 seconds. With the advancement of technology that undoubtedly eases our daily lives, it comes with the compromise of our safety in the digital world. Numerous counter-measure tools have been developed and are readily available on the internet to address the escalating occurrences of cybercrimes. However, their effectiveness is contingent upon public awareness and adoption. This underscores the need for a centralized platform that consolidates these diverse tools, offering seamless accessibility to users of varying technical expertise. CyberPals: S&D CyberSec Doctor 2.0 is a web-based project designed to enhance cybersecurity awareness among Malaysians. Building on the original S&D CyberSec Doctor, which provides scam detection and security validation tools, this second version focuses on improving accessibility for non-technical users and introducing educational resources. To ensure a secure and reliable system, the project follows the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (S-SDLC). The development utilizes Visual Studio Code, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS for the front-end, with Next.js APIs and Netlify handling the back-end functionalitie

Man’s endless hunger for power and wealth
No full textIt seems that even the sky is not a limit for man. His insatiable hunger, his thirst for power and wealth, drives him to madness. Among all of God’s creations, man alone has never learned to say “enough.” Blinded by obsession, by the glitter of power and riches, he has committed the most heinous crimes and atrocities.
Avaricious and restless, he often wages war against others and seizes what God has allotted to them. Instead of using modern and sophisticated technology for the betterment of life on this planet, he employs it to create the deadliest war machines, tools meant to kill his own kind and pollute the very air he breathes
Understanding African expatriates’ conversions to Islam in Bahrain
No full textThis exploratory study looks at the various motivations to explain why Sub-Saharan African expatriate workers are converting to Islam in Bahrain. A quantitative approach was utilized where 294 Africans who recently accepted in this predominantly Muslim country completed a detailed survey. Oneness of God [Tawheed] was the overwhelmingly largest reason for these individuals to switch faith from Christianity to Islam. Additionally, the Islamic concepts of Fitrah [innate disposition] and Hedayah [Divine Guidance] further explain the journeys that these Africans undertook in their search for meaning. The conclusions drawn from the findings of this study emphasize the importance of employing these fundamental Islamic concepts in reaching out not only to the African community in Bahrain but also for inviting [Da’wah] other Christian communities in the Gulf and other parts of the worl

Semiotik Watak Dalam Filem “Imaginur”
Get PDFSemiotik boleh ditafsirkan sebagai satu bidang yang memberikan makna kepada simbol atau lambang. Penerapan simbol dan lambang dalam karya seni seperti dalam industri perfileman akan memberikan makna kepada plot idea dan hubungan kepada aspek watak dan perwatakan dalam filem. Semiotik pada dasarnya berkait rapat dengan tafsiran makna yang mempunyai penanda dan petanda. Hal ini selari dengan pilihan pengkaji yang memilih filem “Imaginur” (2023) arahan Nik Amir Mustapha sebagai bahan kajian dengan menggunakan teori semiotik yang dipelopori oleh Roland Barthes (1964). Teori ini telah dikembangkan lagi oleh beliau yang mengkhususkan denotasi dan konotasi sebagai aspek pencarian makna. Denotasi merupakan perkara yang zahir dan boleh dilihat seperti visual ataupun imej manakala konotasi adalah idea berkaitan dengan makna visual ataupun imej tersebut. Objektif kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti nilai semiotik watak dalam filem “Imaginur” dan menganalisis nilai semiotik watak dalam filem “Imaginur”. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dan melibatkan analisis teks visual dengan menonton adegan dalam filem “Imaginur” bagi memperolehi data. Hasil daripada kajian ini dapat disimpulkan bahawa semiotik watak dalam filem “Imaginur” memperkuatkan lagi naratif penceritaan filem untuk terus hidup. Oleh itu, dapat disimpulkan bahawa watak dalam filem “Imaginur” ini masing-masing mempunyai unsur semiotik watak yang terdiri daripada denotasi dan konotasi. Implikasi daripada kajian ini juga termasuklah dapat mengembangkan lagi pengaplikasian teori semiotik dalam wacana bidang komunikasi visual disamping membuka ruang kepada industri perfileman untuk bersikap lebih kreatif dan berstrategi dalam memnggunakan simbol dan lambang untuk menggambarkan makna tersirat dalam sesebuah filem
Empathy and epistemic beliefs empower critical, culturally responsive ChatGPT integration in learning English academic writing
Get PDFEmpathy is increasingly recognized as central to human-centred engagement with generative AI, yet its epistemic pathways remain under examined. This study explored how empathy and Internet Epistemic Beliefs (IEBs) shape undergraduates’ perceptions of ChatGPT in English academic writing across Malaysian and Indonesian contexts. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, we surveyed 239 English majors, modelled relationships using PLS-SEM, and conducted four in-depth interviews. Empathy significantly predicted positive perceptions of ChatGPT (β = .61) and influenced IEBs (β = .68); however, IEBs mediated this relationship only among Indonesian EFL students, reflecting culturally embedded critical-literacy orientations. Gender analysis revealed a stronger empathy–IEB link among males. Thematic insights identified strategic prompting, synthetic empathy, and shifting institutional norms as mechanisms guiding AI engagement. Findings suggest that empathy, while essential, must be paired with critical epistemic beliefs to support ethical, reflective AI use. This study informs empathy-based digital literacy programs and culturally responsive AI integration in higher education writing contexts
A preliminary analysis on information needs and seeking behaviour of lawyers using exploratory factor analysis
No full textThis preliminary study was carried out to empirically examine the possible factors of legal information needs and information seeking behaviour among lawyers. The main aim is to investigate the measures impacting their effectiveness of information seeking behaviour by employing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). This user study opted a survey of 182 lawyers who work in Klang Valley area in Malaysia. Findings from EFA confirmed that five-factor solution can be used for further research as a measure of effectiveness of information seeking behavior of lawyers. The statistical adequacy of the EFA is supported by a good KMO (0.773 (2 =1959.88, p 0.600). In addition, the total explained variance of the five components was 61.26% and with acceptable internal consistency reliability of Cronbach alpha coefficients (all > 0.600). The five components are significantly positive correlated with the effectiveness of information seeking behaviour. Thus, preliminary outcomes of this research suggested that effectiveness of information seeking behaviour of lawyers is significantly connected to the type of information needed, reasons for information seeking, sources in obtaining information, seeking strategies, and challenges in information seeking
