    No full text
    School climate is a key factor in shaping a student's identity. The fourth industrial revolution has been a hot topic in addressing today's student challenges. Today's reality shows that human resource development is a major focus of organizations in addressing environmental change. Social problem symptoms are often caused by demotivate environment among secondary students. The school climate has a great impact on student self-esteem. This is not only for oneself but for the organization as a whole, including humanity and the unity of ummah. The main objective of the study is to investigate the influence of school climate on student self-esteem based on the strategies and practices used at the school. This quantitative approach employs survey design using questionnaire as a research instrument. A total of respondents from religious secondary schools were tested using descriptive and inferential statistics. The correlation between variebal physical enviroment, community and leadership were tested. The study found that school climate has a significant impact on student self-esteem. Then regression analysis was used to predict the contribution from each variebal. The contribution of this study is obvious as the resulting outcomes can be capitalized as guidelines as the level of student achievement influence by high school climate implementation. Therefore, school climate studies should be conducted in order to establish a concept that can be used by all types of schools in Malaysia to create a good identity. The implications of this study are to shape the good generation who are ready to complement their individual capabilities in addressing the challenging industry 4.0 challenges

    The extent of mobile application usage roles in language dialect retention has roused curiosity and called for research. The fast-paced world that we are living in today has resulted in many effects with regard to the use and retention of a subject including how dialects are used. This concept paper talks in general about the significance and effect of using mobile applications on dialect and language. The use of mobile applications in most cases has become a very handy tool for every business. We have to admit that it is a time-saving, financial, and information-sharing system that makes things go faster and travel more efficiently. The study of mobile application in many parts of the world involves the use of qualitative and quantitative methods so that more accurate and scientific results can be extracted. Our goal is to look at the impact and importance of using mobile applications to retain the dialect used in particular and the use of language in general. The findings of the study have brought us to two conditions with good and bad consequences on the use of both dialect and language. The vast education system that we have in particular has demonstrated the significant use of mobile applications. As everything requires a very efficient and efficacious financial system its significant is irefutable. The results shown here will boost the improvement in language learning and dialect retention via a multitude of mobile applications. The use of both methods in carrying out mobile application review have been getting some very good responses

    Urbanization extensions at the expense of the surrounding land corresponding generally to land use land cover. Therefore, this study tried to come up with the urbanization growth based on land use land cover change from 1998 to 2018 using GIS and remote sensing in Gumel town Nigeria. Remotely sensed imagery combined with GIS served to evaluate the typical land use land cover dynamics. The supervised classification was used to generate land use land cover classes for the study area. The result shows that settlements and bare land classes arc increased about 0.99% in 1998 to 1.77% in 2018 and 48.94% in 1998 to 72.89% in 2018 respectively, while vegetation and shrub land for land use land cover classes are decreased by 9.41% to 5.26% and 40.66% to 20.08% in 2018. The factors responsible for this change are natural and artificial, which include population growth, deforestation and desert encroachment. The study further suggests to reduces overgrazing and cutting down of trees for fuel as the shrub land helps to fight wind erosion which is responsible for bare land in the area. As highlighted by this study, combining remote sensing and GIS could be an effective approach to land use land cover planning and improving the environment

    This study aims to assess the knowledge,attitude and practices of consumers towards medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP).MAPs have been utilized as an alternative medicine for quite a long time based on indigenous knowledge inherited from the older generation. However, there is a lack of documentation concerning the level of knowledge,attitude and practice of consumers specifically in the East Coast Economic Region (ECER). Knowledge, attitude and practices have an impact on the consumption of medicinal and aromatic plants. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation, multiple regression analysis and factor analysis will be employed to analyse the data. Finding from this study will benefit the consumers, producers and academic researchers

    The sun is an active star that produces large-scale energetic events, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These phenomena are observable across the electromagnetic spectrum, from gamma rays at hundreds of MeV to radio waves with wavelengths of tens of metres. Solar flares and CMEs can excite plasma oscillations which can emit radiation at metric and decametric wavelengths. These radio bursts are classified in five main types. This paper gives a solar radio burst type III (16 July 2017) in National Space Agency (ANGKASA), Banting, Selangor, Malaysia. Compact Astronomical Low-Cost Instrument for Spectroscopy in Transportable Observatories (CALLISTO) is used in this system to observe solar radio activities. The main applications for this CALLISTO is to observe a solar radio bursts and radio frequency interference (RFI) monitoring for astronomical science, education and outreach. The CALLISTO natively operates between 45MHz to 870MHz and its observed dail

    This paper explains the initial steps of establishing the national centre of design for disabled people in Malaysia . As we all know, there is still no evidence of the existence of a creative centre for industrial product design in the country, especially for this special group. Through the initiative from the School of Industrial Design located in Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin ( UniSZA ), we take a commitment to channel societal significances through designing, developing and producing innovative product design for various categories of disabilities in this country, such as physically disability , mentally disability , vision impair, learning disability , speech disability and others. It will be done entirely in a centre known as National Centre of Design for Disability (CDD), which highlights the standards and quality of design , where the outcomes meet the satisfaction of the end users through its function, ergonomics, safety, comfort and aesthetics for them to not ashamed to join their routine activities in the open public environment. The CDD improves to enhance the existing equipment alongside providing advice and assistance for the state-of-the-art research outcomes

    Background: Evidence has suggested that peripheral dopamine systems reflect central dopamine systems activity and pathology especially in neuropsychiatric diseases. Studies have been carried out widely on central dopamine systems, while investigation of dopamine system in various organ peripherally is still limited. It has been showed that peripheral blood lymphocytes express dopamine in peripheral system. Objective: In this study we investigated the difference Si dopamine receptors DRD4 and DRD5 mRNA expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes of ATS and opioid dependence undergoing methadone maintenance treatment and healthy Malay men subjects. Methodology: The dopamine receptors, DRD4 and DRD5 mRNA expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes were assessed by real-time PCR method. Results: The DRD4 mRNA expression level Is significantly reduced in lymphocytes population among ATS and opioid use disorder than in healthy control. However, the change of mRNA expression level of DRD5 was not statistically significant. Conclusion: In conclusion, patient undergoing methadone maintenance treatment may cause different effect on peripheral DRD4 and DROS mRNA expression
