A questionnaire was designed and analyzed. It expresses the level of Islamic behavior through its four domains related to its ethical system represented in behavior towards the Almighty God, towards the self, and towards others. Its dimensions were chosen through politeness with God Almighty, integrity, humility, and environmental behavior, within the framework of three main axes that are the work environment, the personal environment and Islamic behavior training. The quality of human resources performance has been measured through the dimensions of the ServQual scale, which expresses the quality of performance.

Consequences and Adaptations in Medical Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Medical Students’ Perspective in a Malaysian Public Institution
Get PDFThe severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become one of the most disastrous health crises
of the present world.
The COVID-19 pandemic imposes unprecedented challenges for medical education globally. We describe how the pandemic has disrupted the medical education landscape from the students\u27 perspectives and how medical students from a public higher institution adapted to the changes made to comply with the various government agencies\u27 guidelines to contain the spread of COVID-19 while fulfilling the course requirements. The utilisation of numerous innovative online applications enabled the students to participate in numerous teaching and learning activities (TLA) with more flexible scheduling of the classes, participated in a series of online case-based discussions, clinical practice guideline (CPG) discussions, case presentations and objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) simulations. Students also joined TLAs conducted by other institutions both locally and abroad. In addition, students had collaborated among themselves and students from other institutions to conduct online peer-teaching activities. Perhaps, the main challenges for online classes were being unable to perform medical procedures and technical issues, commonly the poor internet connectivity. In regard to physical examinations, students performed it on members of their household instead of real patients. Learning medicine from a distance also gave us an opportunity to
taste telemedicine which may be the future of medical practice. Students and academics should be adaptive, resourceful and resilient in facing these changes together. The institution needs to look at all stakeholders\u27 perspectives to respond to the changes in the medical education landscape

Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused a huge impact towards the teaching and learning activities in medical schools. Due to the outbreak, the curricular activities were shifted to a mainly digitised version of learning format. The purpose of this paper is to present the study design and methodology of a population-based survey on the impact of COVID-19 among medical students. The survey aims to investigate the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on the COVID-19 pandemic, the online learning readiness and psychological status among medical students in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM).

Both of the KAP and online learning readiness questionnaire will be adopted, adapted and validated from previous research and will be based on a local study. As for the depression, anxiety and stress, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaire will be used. Duration of data collection is expected to be one month, and findings are expected to be ready by three months from the last data collection date. The exposure variables include sociodemographic factors and years of study, while the outcomes are the KAP scores, online learning readiness level, and DASS scores. Relationships between the outcomes and associated factors will be analysed once data collection is completed

Get PDFHalal has since perceived the country\u27s remarkable preferred position in creating and advancing the halal business since a long time ago. Malaysia, a contemporary Islamic state with an open economy, has accomplished huge achievements inside the halal circle, spearheaded Malaysia\u27s halal norms and accreditation since the primary 70s. Malaysia has likewise gotten various recognitions from different countries for halal information and affirmation expertise. In November 2019, an attack of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China have come to many countries around the world, including Malaysia. With the increasing number of cases, how does public service announcement (PSA) play its role in disseminating Halal information in the pandemic? Does social media mediate the PSA effectively? This study wishes to examine the effectiveness of PSA towards the increase of halal knowledge among social media users. This study employs a quantitative approach which uses a survey method. Due to pandemic and movement control order, the responses have resulted in 100 respondents only. The analysis includes descriptive, T-test and correlation. It is found that the PSA made through social media does not exert influence on halal knowledge among Muslim teenagers.

Gelagat Pengguna Dan Penjanaan Kekayaan Sewaktu Pandemik Covid-19: Satu Analisis Konseptual: [Consumer Behavior and Wealth Creation During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Conceptual Analysis]
Get PDFThe theory of human behavior change is developed from psychological studies and then applied to consumer behavior. Psychologists believe that human behavior can change through stimuli and responses based on theories developed by psychologists and behaviorists. The threat of the COVID-19 pandemic has led some countries to take drastic actions such as implementing movement control orders (MCO) to curb the spread of the pandemic and provide economic stimulus packages to restore the current economic situation. In the context of Malaysia, this study suggests that the actions taken by the government can create positive and negative responses through consumer learning theory. This study is based on operant conditioning theory and the study suggests four categories of consumer behavior after the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this article is to propose a conceptual research framework related to consumer segments that exist as a result of COVID-19 and propose new types of wealth creation post-COVID-19. It is expected that the results of the study will prove that there are four segments of consumers based on reactions through behaviors that are highlighted during a pandemic. It involves the behavior of returning to the old norms, adjusting and adapting to new norms, going back to square one, and recycling the previous behaviours. Certain policies can be developed to highlight the new normative behavior among consumers to overcome the impact of COVID-19, and even to ensure that Malaysia is competitive in the face of economic recovery. Future studies need to be conducted on an ongoing basis to ensure that the proposed framework can be adapted in different contexts and industries.

Teori perubahan gelagat manusia dibangunkan dari kajian psikologi seterusnya diaplikasikan kepada gelagat pengguna. Pakar psikologi percaya bahawa gelagat manusia boleh berubah melalui rangsangan dan tindak balas berdasarkan teori-teori yang dibangunkan oleh ahli psikologi dan behaviorisme. Ancaman pandemik COVID-19 telah menyebabkan beberapa negara mengambil tindakan drastik seperti melaksanakan perintah kawalan pergerakan (PKP) bagi mengekang penularan pandemik dan menyediakan pakej rangsangan ekonomi untuk memulihkan keadaan ekonomi semasa. Dalam konteks negara Malaysia, kajian ini mencadangkan bahawa tindakan yang diambil oleh pihak kerajaan mampu mewujudkan tindak balas positif dan negatif melalui teori pembelajaran pengguna. Kajian ini didasari oleh teori pelaziman operan (operant conditioning theory) yang mencadangkan empat kategori gelagat pengguna semasa berlakunya pandemik COVID-19. Tujuan kertas kajian ini adalah untuk mencadangkan rangka kajian konseptual berkaitan segmen pengguna yang wujud akibat COVID-19 dan cadangan jenis penjanaan kekayaan yang baharu pasca COVID-19. Jangkaan hasil kajian akan membuktikan terdapat empat segmen pengguna berdasarkan reaksi melalui gelagat yang ditonjolkan semasa pandemik. Ia melibatkan gelagat kembali ke tabiat asal, norma baharu, norma baharu yang sederhana, dan kitar semula. Dasar-dasar tertentu boleh dibangunkan bertujuan untuk mengetengahkan gelagat norma baharu dalam kalangan pengguna bagi mengatasi impak COVID-19, malahan untuk memastikan Malaysia berdaya saing dalam mengharungi pemulihan ekonomi. Kajian di masa akan datang perlu dijalankan secara berterusan untuk memastikan rangka kerja yang dicadangkan dapat diadaptasi dalam konteks dan industri yang berbeza
