Setiap kaum di Indonesia mempunyai kepercayaan kepada hantu dan syaitan menurut budaya setempat dan agama masing-masing. Salah satu hantu yang cukup popular di Indonesia adalah hantu kuntilanak atau pontianak. Hantu kuntilanak adalah hantu wanita yang meninggal ketika melahirkan.

Keyakinan kepada kewujudan hantu pontianak ini juga semakin kuat kerana pengaruh media sosial, internet dan rancangan program mistik di televisyen.
ABSTRACT
Beliefs in supernatural beings such as ghosts and demons have long existed in societies around the world, except the Indonesian community. Every tribe in Indonesia has a belief in ghosts and demons according to their local culture and religion. One of the most popular ghosts in Indonesia is the ghost of kuntilanak or pontianak. The kuntilanak ghosts are female ghosts who die during childbirth. This study is a literature study to identify the pontianak ghost phenomena based on the religious and cultural approaches of everyday life in Indonesian society. Based on a literature study, it was found that according to the religious approach, the pontianak ghost is a genie that resembles the figure of a woman who has been in the belief of Indonesian mythology. According to the sociocultural approach, the people of Indonesia still have a strong belief in the existence of the pontianak ghost, whose beliefs are passed down through generations. The belief in the existence of the pontianak ghost has also grown stronger due to the influence of social media, the internet and the mystical programming of television
Advancing Theatre Costume and Makeup As Agents Of Cultural Transmission And Rejuvenation In Duroladipo\u27s O?bakò So
No full textCulture is a poly-scenic word with diverse definitive connotations. But generally speaking the idea of culture can be regarded as the sum total of ways of living built up by a group of human beings overtime and transmitted from one generation to another. Hence, culture can be considered to be a dynamic phenomenon that is open to influences from different societies of the world while reinventing itself from time to time, in this wise, the inherent values, norms beliefs, philosophies and religions practices that are peculiar to the cultural reading of a particular society could be acculturated, bastardized or shortchanged by another more influential society leading to partial neglect or total extinction of such cultural heritage in the affected societies, in view of this, this paper adopted analytical, historical and descriptive methods through primary and secondary data to highlight the role of theatre as agent of change and cultural transmission in the Nigerian society while exploring fundamentally the functional capabilities of the craft of costume and make-up in artistically and aesthetically showcasing, interpreting and propagating the Yoruba cultural heritage as evidenced in the production of Duro Ladipo\u27s Oba Koso to the audience in order to project, promote and sustain the rich cultural heritage and values of the Nigerian people in Nigeria and across the world for socio-cultural and economic benefits of all and sundry

A replacement of plant protein sources as an alternative of fish meal ingredient for African catfish, Clarias gariepinus: A review
No full textAquaculture is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. This industry supplies half of the fisheries products consumed annually, and future global demand can only be supplied by increasing aquaculture production, which, in turn, requires more aquafeed. Alternative ingredients must be increasingly used to supply significant proportions of protein and energy in aquafeeds, creating both challenges and opportunities for researchers and industry. Nowadays, there are too many researches on fish disease, growth and health but less in a fish feed especially a replacement of protein from plant sources in the fish feed. One of the alternative ways to optimise the growth and health condition of the fish is provide them a good protein from plant as a replacement in fish meal with the natural source protein instead of giving a good rearing condition and caring of the fish. The present article was constructed to highlight a replacement of plant protein sources as an alternative of fish meal for fish feed in African catfish, Clarias gariepinus that has been done by researchers. However, the application of replacement from plant protein sources in fish meal is now gradually gaining importance in commercial aquaculture practices and opened the door for the researchers to expend of this application, thus more detailed studies on molecular basis should be looked as to get the quality and enough nutrient fish feed for good production of aquaculture industry
Nilai Kerohanian Dalam Disiplin Ilmu Nahu; Kajian Terhadap Sumbangan Al-Qushayri: Spiritual Values in Arabic Grammar: A Study on Al-Qushayri’s Contribution
No full textKerohanian merupakan antara perkara asas dalam disiplin ilmu-ilmu Islam. Setiap bidang ilmu Islam hendaklah diterapkan dengan nilai kerohanian termasuklah ilmu yang berkaitan dengan bahasa Arab seperti ilmu nahu, balaghah dan sebagainya. Namun demikian, perbahasan nahu Arab yang berlaku selama ini adalah terpisah daripada unsur-unsur kerohanian dan akhlak kerana ilmu tersebut hanya tertumpu pada menjaga tutur kata seseorang dari berlaku kesalahan yang boleh mempengaruhi kefahaman pendengarnya. Artikel ini mengetengahkan dimensi baharu dalam perbahasan ilmu nahu yang diperkenalkan oleh tokoh ilmuwan sufi yang masyhur bernama ‘Abd al-Karim bin Hawazin al-Qushayri (w. 465H). Beliau merupakan seorang ulama’ sufi yang telah membincangkan ilmu nahu ini dari sudut kerohanian iaitu dengan membuat suatu perbandingan dan perkaitan antara ilmu nahu yang lebih bersifat linguistik dengan ilmu tasawuf yang berorientasikan kerohanian. Usaha ini telah melahirkan satu pendekatan baharu dalam pengajian ilmu nahu yang dikenali oleh ulama sufi sebagai « Nahu Sufi » atau « Nahu Hati ». Dengan melakukan analisis terhadap kandungan (content analysis) karya nahu beliau berjudul “Na?w al-Qul?b”, kajian cuba memaparkan nilai-nilai kerohanian atau tasawuf yang diterapkan dalam ilmu nahu melalui kedua-dua karya tersebut. Kajian mendapati bahawa al-Qushayri dianggap sebagai pelopor kepada satu pendekatan baharu dalam perbahasan ilmu nahu yang dikaitkan dengan ilmu tasawuf sehingga individu yang menekuninya mampu mencapai ke tahap ma’rifah Allah. Pendekatan ini juga menjadi panduan kepada tokoh-tokoh ulama sufi terkemudian dalam menggabungkan dua bidang ilmu ini dalam bentuknya yang baharu dan bersepadu.
ABSTRACT
Spirituality is one of the fundamental things in the discipline of Islamic Sciences. Every area of ??Islamic sciences should be applied to spiritual values such as Arabic grammar, Arabic literature and so on. Nonetheless, the discussion on Arabic has been detached from spiritual elements as the focuses solely on keeping one\u27s speech from errors that may affect the understanding of its listeners. This study focuses on a new dimension to the debate on the Arabic grammae introduced by the famous Sufi scholar named \u27Abd al-Karim bin Hawazin al-Qushayri (d. 465H). He was a sufi scholar who discussed this science from a spiritual point of view by making a comparison between linguistic science and a Sufism. This effort leads to a new approach to the study of Arabic grammar known by Sufi scholars as «Nahw al-Qulub» or «Grammar of Heart». By analyzing the content of his two books entitled “Na?w al-Qul?b” the study attempts to show the spiritual or sufism values ??applied in the Arabic grammar. It is found that al-Qushayri is regarded as the forerunner of a new approach to the debate on theology associated with the Sufism so that the practitioners are able to reach the ma’rifah Allah. This approach also serves as a guide for later Sufi scholars in combining these two areas of knowledge in a new form

The Mediating Role of Commitment in The Relationship Between Mobile Service Quality and Mobile Shopping Customer Loyalty in Malaysia
No full textOnline shopping is becoming increasingly important in the current era, rendering comprehension of consumer online shopping habits crucial. This notion rings true in the context of users and companies alike, thereby emerging as a big concern for e-commerce managers and researchers. One may assume that only by understanding the factors influencing consumer buying intentions for fashion items online will companies be better-positioned for meeting consumer needs. In this analysis, the relationship between customer online purchasing intentions and selected factors was investigated, specifically consumer innovativeness, fashion innovativeness, and fashion involvement. Quantitative research was implemented in the process, involving fashion online shoppers in Malaysia as the respondents after being selected via quota sampling from the ten most popular fashion shopping websites in Malaysia. The statistical method of Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was then employed for the proposed model testing. The findings subsequently revealed the positive effects of consumer innovativeness, and fashion involvement on online purchase intention, whereas any significant relationship between the variable with fashion innovativeness was absent. However, this analysis was conducted in Malaysia; therefore, the results could be different if tested in other countries. Hence, similar studies related to fashion online purchase intention should be replicated in other Asian countries in the future

The Use of Mobile Applications in Mandarin Script Writing Assignments
No full textThe performance of students in language learning is increasingly being given special attention, especially Mandarin, which has become very popular and is strongly emphasized as a third language in Higher Learning Institutions in Malaysia. Previous studies examined mobile learning, more commonly known as m-learning, from the aspect of reading and listening skills but they rarely focused on writing skills. The purpose of this research is to study the effectiveness of using translation based mobile applications on the performance of undergraduates in Mandarin script writing assignments through students’ self-efficacy. This research used a quasi-experimental design with quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The subjects of this research were students studying Mandarin at a higher institution in Malaysia. The findings of this research showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the performance level for students in the experimental group and the control group based on the comparison of pre- and post-test results. Even though there was no significant difference between the relationships of self-efficacy between the two groups, the students in the experimental group showed a clear increase in their self-efficacy
