Student Online Learning Readiness as a Significant Predictor of Students\u27 Arabic Proficiency
No full textVirtual learning is a process that has been a must in the Covid19 era. It is an important medium that is a substitute for face-to-face Arabic learning. Students\u27 willingness to pursue online learning and their relationship to achievement need to be studied. Technical competence, social competence with lecturers and friends and communication skills are among the factors that students are prepared to pursue online learning. However, not much empirical evidence is obtained from studies on the influence of these variables on students’ proficiency in Arabic. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the influence of the four factors of online learning readiness on students’ proficiency in Arabic. In addition, this study also aims to identify the most important factors that need to be given priority. A total of 220 questionnaires were distributed to UiTM Degree students and out of that, 214 data were used after the data cleaning process. The analysis using SmartPLS 3.0 software showed social competence factor with lecturers (β=0.328, t=3.796, p<0.01, f2=0.082) and communication competence (β=0.222, t=2.259, p<0.05, f2=0.042) positively influenced students’ proficiency in Arabic. Social competence with peers and technical competence were found to have no effect on students’ proficiency in Arabic. Based on the results of IPMA analysis in PLS, social competence with lecturers is the most important factor affecting students’ proficiency in Arabic followed by communication competence factor. The active contact of students with lecturers, followed by active communication in learning, were the important variables influencing students\u27 motivation to pursue online Arabic learning. In order to achieve more meaningful learning and excellence in Arabic study, both of these criteria must be prioritised
Students Feedback on Using Telegram in Speaking Practice During Self Learning Time
No full textThis paper provides insights into students’ views on the use of Telegram for development of speaking skills in the context of SLT in Malaysian tertiary education. Data gathered from questionnaires was analyzed using descriptive statistics whilst data from the interviews was analyzed using a content analysis approach. The findings revealed that while the students display positive attitudes in using Telegram, the activities conducted have to be properly guided. The findings also showed that students do not only focus on the usability of the Telegram as a tool, but the language content delivered through the tool. This study suggests that instructors have to properly plan the integration of Telegram in SLT and provide clear instructions to students. Instructors also need to incorporate a variety of activities using Telegram to increase participation, and consider revising the content of the lesson to fit the affordances of Telegram to ensure the mastery of speaking
Exploring The Concept of Ihsan and The Intention to Donate Blood Among Male and Female Blood Donors
No full textThe act of blood donation is known as one of selfless behaviour towards the other human being. The action is vital to help those in need, either in during emergencies or periodically. However, the concept of ihsan which derived from a combination of altruism, charity and self-identity as a blood donor has yet to be explored in the study of blood donation. Therefore, this study aims to explore the concept of ihsan and the intention to donate blood among university students involved in blood donation. Respondents were recruited from a local university in Selangor. A total of 166 blood donors answered an online questionnaire pertaining to the motivation to donate blood. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) using varimax rotation found that there are five items grouped in one component, namely ihsan. As for descriptive analysis, the result showed that female blood donors displayed a higher mean score (M = 3.90, sd = .66), as compared to male blood donors (M=3.78, sd = .62). Finally, Hierarchical Multiple Regression (enter method) analysis revealed that ihsan (B = .336) is significantly correlated to the intention to donate blood (R2 = .062, F change (1, 163) = 5.37, p < .01, after controlling the aspect of gender . In other words, the concept of ihsan that resembles positive values such as altruism and charity leads to the intention to donate blood among university students, regardless of their gender. Campaign on blood donation should promote the concept of ihsan to strengthen the intention to donate blood among young people in a university setting as it encourages positive values among young people

Socio-culture was at a good level due to the patients’ population among the local population. Worship activities were also in a good range because of the conditions and facilities provided by the health providers. However, fitness ethics were reported as not good, due to the unfavorable facilities and situations at the quarantine center. Leadership was observed as moderate and some patients were perceived as individualistic. The use of a model of cultural change and A comprehensive collaboration with various parties, without a heavy reliance on the frontline workers, is needed to improve patients’ viability during Covid 19 quarantine session

The effects of edible chitosan coating on prolonging the shelf life of green chilies (Capsicum annuum L.)
No full textGreen chillies (Capsicum annuum L.) are susceptible to pest attack, experiences water loss rapidly in a short time and also experiences chilling injury when stored at a cool temperature that leads to shorter shelf life. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the effects of chitosan at different concentrations (0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0%) on the shelf life of green chilies stored at ambient temperature (27°C) for 21 days. The effectiveness of the chitosan treatments in extending green chilies’ shelf-life was evaluated by determining their physical and chemical qualities. Coated green chilies are able to preserve for a longer period of time compared to uncoated green chilies. Regardless of any chitosan concentration, the total soluble solid content (TSS) of coated green chilies had increased starting from day 3 to day 21 day as compared to the control. At the highest concentration of 2.0%, chitosan treatment was able to reduce the pH by 28% on day 6 of the storage period, meanwhile, the pH was maintained across the concentration at the end of the storage period (day 21). It was found that the green chilies faced 10 to 22% weight loss across the concentration as compared to the control at the end of the storage period, where the highest weight loss was prominent at 2.0% chitosan. However, in terms of firmness, the chitosan treatments do not give any significant effect on all the treated green chilies. These results suggest that the application of edible chitosan coating contributes to lower pH and weight loss which is responsible for the longer shelf life of the green chilies
Physicochemical, antioxidative and sensory properties of pre-treated sliced pear cultivar during frozen storage
No full textPear is a typical fruit of temperate zones with high nutritive values and organoleptic properties, but when this fresh fruit being harvested, it will undergo chemical changes which can cause spoilage and product deterioration. Freezing could be as a preservative method to maintain quality attributes (colour, texture) of fresh produce that change over time. The purpose of this study is to determine ascorbic acid content and antioxidant activity of frozen fruit treated with osmotic solution. Pears were pre-treated with blanching, osmotic and both blanching and osmotic solution prior to freezing. Two varieties of pear fruit which are Asian pear and Packham pear were analyzed for physicochemical (colour and texture), antioxidative properties (ascorbic acid content, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content) and sensory acceptability. The pears were subjected to different pre-treatments prior to freezing such as blanching and osmotic solution during storage. The results showed that colour attributes of frozen pears were significantly affected by treatment which in contrast to texture properties of frozen pears during storage. Ascorbic acid content of frozen Packham pear was recorded the highest (6.38 ± 0.96 mg/100 g) after treated in osmotic solution compared to frozen Asian pear, the highest (4.62 ± 1.15 mg/100 g) was found in blanching treatment prior to storage, both tested after day 1 of storage. When treated in blanching treatment, the antioxidant activity of frozen Packham pear using DPPH assay exhibited (84.61 ± 0.69 %) contains high scavenging activity on day 1, while for Asian pear (67.63 ± 2.37 %) in blanching treatment on day 3. Using seven-point hedonic scale, sensory acceptability shows that frozen Asian pear treated in osmotic solution was highly rated among consumers with overall acceptance of 5.80 ± 0.85. Thus, combination of pre-treatment which were osmotic and blanching and freezing helps to retain the quality of frozen pears during period of storage
