No full textCornsilk (Zea mays Hairs) improves nutrient, physical traits without affecting sensory properties of chicken patties
No full textThe proximate analyses, physical traits and sensory properties of chicken patties incorporated with different levels of cornsilk dietary fibre were studied. The patties were formulated with 2%, 4% and 6% dried ground cornsilk. The protein content increased in line with the cornsilk level in both raw and cooked chicken patties. Cooked chicken patties incorporated with 6% cornsilk showed the highest protein concentration at 28.42% and the lowest fat concentration at 14.60%, respectively. All cooked patty samples recorded moisture content ranging from 42.73-46.40%. Patty formulated with 6% cornsilk recorded the highest cooking yield at 83.03%. Cornsilk fibre has been successful in improving cooking yield and in retaining moisture and fat of chicken patties. The addition of cornsilk fibre does not change the sensory properties and the acceptability of chicken patties

No full textValue-based total performance excellence measurement: an overview of agenda and transformation
No full textThe process of performance measurement has undergone a revolution from measuring things outward to measuring things that are not apparent. In other words, the overall performance of non-financial nature has also been given a serious attention. Integration of the use of both elements of performance indicators involving both financial and non-financial should be used to assess the performance of the organisation. This is because not only the satisfaction of the external customer has to be fulfilled for survival of the organisation but also the internal customer satisfaction is equally important in ensuring the success of the organisation.Therefore, this article expounds the suggested implementation of the Performance Measurement System which showcases an overview of intangible aspects of measurement i.e.organisational core values through Value-Based Total Performance Excellence Model. This model would reveal overall standings and achievements of the public agencies and indicate opportunities for further improvements based on the value-based indicators. Implications of the study is significant to the public organisation for enhancing and empowering the valuebased
assessment approach which emphasised more on intangibles aspects of measurement rather than on tangibles aspects only. This is vital in ensuring that human resources in the
organisation have truly embraced the organisational core values and endeavouring for achieving a total organisational excellence as emphasised in the 1Malaysia concept – ‘People first, Performance now
Organisational barriers in working with child sexual abuse (Csa) cases: the Malaysian professionals’ experiences.
No full textThe purpose of this study is to examine organisational barriers faced by professionals working with child sexual abuse (CSA) cases in Malaysia. This study was conducted from a diverse sample of 18 social workers, medical social workers, counsellors and police officers who worked in CSA cases.These participants came from different organisations namely the royal police of Malaysia, the welfare department, hospitals and non-government agency. A qualitative approach was used for collecting and
analysing data; and semi structured interview was used to guide the interview. Two main factors had been identified as barriers in working with CSA cases, namely within and between organisations. In terms of within organisations, participants identified factors such as inadequate support, excessive workload, safety issue and lack of resources as the major barriers. As for between organisations,factors such as conflict of power and disorganised system were mentioned as factors preventing capabilities of professionals in giving help. This paper provides an in depth analysis of major barriers facing by professionals working with CSA in Malaysia
Dasar wawasan negara dan prospek pembangunan petani kecil Melayu (The Malaysian national vision policy and the advancement prospects of the Malay small-scale farmers)
No full textSejarah pasca merdeka Malaysia menunjukkan bahawa pembangunan petani kecil Melayu adalah matlamat yang masih elusif. Ianya merupakan fenomena pasang surut selaras dengan naik turun martabat sektor pertanian itu sendiri. Semasa zaman Tun Razak (1957 – 1976) pembangunan petani kecil Melayu berjalan lancar. Semaza zaman Tun Mahathir (1991-2000) ianya merudum. Kemudian ekoran Krisis Ekonomi 1997 dan mulai 2003 Dasar Wawasan Negara (DWN) yang juga mencakupi Dasar Pertanian Negara ke-3 (DPN 3) menempatkan semula sektor pertanian sebagai enjin pertumbuhan ekonomi negara, dan dengan itu mencerahkan semula prospek pembangunan petani kecil Melayu. Kertas ini bertujuan membicarakan prospek pembangunan petani kecil Melayu dalam fasa DWN, khususnya dalam konteks perlaksanaan dua
program berimpak tinggi iaitu Pelan Tindakan Imbangan Perdagangan (BOT) dan Pertanian Kontrak di mana pembangunan agro-makanan yang merupakan niche petani kecil Melayu menjadi agenda utama dan menjanjikan lonjakan taraf petani kecil kepada usahawan global. Hasil penelitian mendapati bahawa prestasi BOT dan Pertanian Kontrak setakat ini tidaklah begitu memberangsangkan . Dengan kata lain
prospek memajukan petani kecil Melayu masih meragukan. Punca utama ialah lemahnya kemampuan petani kecil Melayu dalam pemasaran tani. Kesimpulannya, sejauhmana prospek pembangunan petani kecil Melayu dapat dicerahkan selanjutnya adalah bergantung kepada kesanggupan negara bergigih mendidik budaya pengurusan pemasaran kepada petani kecil Melay
