Tahap Literasi Fizikal Guru Pendidikan Jasmani Sekolah Rendah di Sarawak
No full textGuru Pendidikan Jasmani (PJ) memainkan peranan penting dalam proses mendidik murid dari aspek jasmani untuk mencapai matlamat falsafah pendidikan negara. Guru PJ yang mempunyai literasi fizikal tinggi mampu menjadi contoh kepada pelajar dan dapat menyampaikan pengajaran dengan lebih berkesan dalam waktu PJ. Jadi, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti hubungan literasi fizikal berdasarkan ciri demografi responden seperti indeks jisim badan, kekerapan bersukan dalam seminggu dan pencapaian tertinggi dalam sukan. Borang soal selidik diberikan kepada guru PJ sekolah-sekolah rendah di Sarawak secara atas talian melalui aplikasi Telegram. Seramai 180 orang guru PJ (80 orang lelaki dan 100 orang perempuan) telah mengisi soal selidik tersebut. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan guru PJ sekolah rendah di Sarawak mempunyai tahap literasi fizikal yang tinggi (min = 4.19, sp = 0.380). Terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan tahap literasi fizikal guru PJ sekolah rendah di Sarawak berdasarkan jantina (. F=17.332, p=0.00), kekerapan bersukan dalam seminggu (F=14.914, p<0.01) dan tahap pencapaian sukan (F=6.556, p<0.001) guru PJ. Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara literasi fizikal guru PJ dengan BMI guru (F=0.025, p=0.876) melalui ujian regresi. Namun begitu, hasil kajian mendapati 30.6% responden mengalami masalah berat badan berlebihan dan 10% responden adalah obes. Seorang guru PJ yang mempunyai BMI yang normal mampu menjadi teladan dan inspirasi kepada murid dalam aspek kecergasan dan kesihatan. Guru berliterasi fizikal yang tinggi pula dapat memberikan motivasi kepada murid untuk mengekalkan gaya hidup yang sihat. Selain itu, guru PJ berliterasi fizikal tinggi dapat membantu dalam keberkesanan pembelajaran subjek pendidikan jasmani dengan demonstrasi yang sesuai

No full textWith the tourism industry's recovery, there is an increased demand for outbound Chinese tourists. With Chinese tourists as an important submarket in Sabah, a better understanding of Chinese tourists' perceptions of destination tourism is crucial for development. In this study, the representative Tanjung Aru Beach in Sabah was selected as the study case, and the review content was selected through the travellers’ reviews on China's largest travel online platform - Ctrip.com, as the study sample. Through Octopus Collector 8, the text data was analyzed for word frequency, web semantics, and sentiment using the ROST CM6 tool. The results of the study found that most of the Chinese tourists at Tanjung Aru Beach gave satisfactory comments. These positive comments focused mainly on the natural landscape and resources of the beach, the services of the Shangri-La Hotel, the ease of language communication, and the local cuisine. More often than not, Chinese tourists mentioned the beach's sunsets, evening sunsets, flaming clouds, sand, cloud formations, and sea breezes. The study also found that “beach” and “sunset” were the resources that Chinese tourists recognized for the attraction, with the majority of reviews revolving around these two themes. It should be noted that Chinese tourists showed dissatisfaction with the sanitary environment and facilities at Tanjung Aru Beach. The study concludes with recommendations for management

Harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Mitigate Food Waste: Innovative Strategies for Sustainable Consumption
No full textThe capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform food waste management is rooted in its capability to analyse extensive data sets and enhance processes throughout the food supply chain. Despite the potential of AI to transform food waste management, many organisations and consumers remain uninformed about its capabilities and the innovative strategies it can provide to effectively reduce food waste. This study aimed to review innovative strategies for sustainable consumption by harnessing AI to mitigate food waste. This study employed a review analysis as a methodological approach to synthesise existing literature on the intersection of AI and food waste management. The review analysis revealed several innovative strategies for sustainable consumption by harnessing AI to mitigate food waste, including: (a) smart inventory management; (b) recipe suggestions based on available ingredients; (c) automated waste tracking; (d) predictive analytics for meal preparation; and (e) consumer behaviour insights. In conclusion, utilising AI to reduce food waste offers a viable strategy for promoting sustainable consumption practices throughout the food supply chain. Future research should prioritise longitudinal analyses to assess the long-term effectiveness of AI interventions across sectors including agriculture, retail, and hospitality
