UniSZA as a National Centre of Design for Disability in Malaysia
No full textThis 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\ud
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

منهج الإمام الأزهري في توجيه القراءات من خلال كتابه )معاني القراءات( Al-Azhari’s approach on the guidance of the modes of recitation through meaning of the modes of recitations book
No full textKitab Ma’ani Al-Qira’at (meanings of the modes of recitations) by Al-Azhari encompasses a
valuable scientific content on the guidance of the modes of recitation. It is considered one of the
earliest books written on the guidance on the modes of recitation. Having inducted this book, the
researcher concluded that Al-Azhari had followed many methods on the guidance of the modes of
recitation, and his approach needs to be studied and clarified. As is well known, each author has
his or her own approach, Given this point of departure, the author has conducted this research for
the purpose of exploring Al-Azhari’s approach on the guidance of the modes of recitation, and
showing the features and tools utilised for that purpose in terms of guiding the modes of recitation
by the Holy Quran, the Prophet’s Hadith, othmanic text/ Ottoman lettering, verse etc. The author
has followed the analytical inductive approach, where he has inducted Kitab Ma’ani Al-Qira’at
(the meanings of the modes of recitation book) finding out the guidance features and tools
employed by Al-Azhari for that purpose. This study found out many results: Al-Imam Al-Zuhri
did not rely heavily on both the Prophet’s Hadith and Othmanic text /Al-Rasim Al Othmani /
Ottoman lettering). He also ignored guiding the successive modes of recitation by the shadhdh
ones (without a successive transmission). However, he relied heavily on verse and Arabs sayings
and dialects. This study also concluded that Ma’ani Al-Qira’at by Al-Azhari has a considerable
scientific value, but it needs refinement and editing because it contains some of weak viewpoints
which dispute the validity of some modes of recitation without reacting to them/ with impunity
Antarctica’s sovereignty: Adoption of arctic council concept as a better replacement for Antarctica Treaty System (ATS)
No full textThe conflict surrounding the sovereignty over the region of Antarctica is a longstanding issue that has plagued the claimant states for decades. The exhaustion of
mineral and raw material fuels the hostility and struggle for dominance over the
unclaimed region which beliefs to be the largest remaining reserve of oil and gas as
well as other valuable natural resources. With growing number of claimant states
and the inexistence of proper international framework, the issues over Antarctica is
a time-ticking bomb waiting to burst and causes a major friction over the South Pole.
The success achieved by Arctic Council in managing the Arctic region inspires this
paper to propose and evaluate the idea of establishing an “Antarctica Council” as a
crucial recourse to solve what Antarctica Treaty System (ATS) has failed to achieve.
This paper is an examination of analysis and critiques in legal documents and
international reports that seek a critical approach over the ineffectiveness of existing
legal framework and possible improvement in Arctic council concept adoptions

Bugis and Madura migration in nusantara: Religiosity, harmony, and identity from Eastern Indonesia
No full textThe Buginese and Madurese are well known as fierce sailors and are openhearted ethnics in Indonesia. It seems that they have their typical characters
and identities compared to the other ethnics in Indonesia. Their characters
and identities become part of their life, including in economic, social customs
or even when they immigrated to a new place. This phenomenology study
tried to explain the behavior of Buginese and the people of Madurese who
immigrated to Papua. The study also would seek to explore beyond migration
of the Bugis and Madurese in Papua. This article was conducted in Papua
to assess the patterns of migration and community interaction of Bugis and
Madurese with other communities. The study findings revealed that
Buginese and Madurese seem similar among others in terms of economic
activity, mastery in the field of politics, and social role in the community.
Besides, with their capacity, it has a role in religious activities which they
always carry out in their environment. By not making it as a mission of
deployment religious activities, but rather only to defend their religious
understanding in a way that it would be limited just to the internal
environment. It seems both the Buginese and Madurese firmly have a connection to the Islamic identity factors that are part of their religious
expression
Spirituality: A way to realize sustainable tourism
No full textWhen deliberating on the spiritual dimension of tourism, one key question is
that how individuals are seeking for their life meaning and experiences of divine
existence, as well as their connectedness as subjectively lived during their travel.
In fact, tourism is closely connected to religion which has always been a
powerful travel motivation from the time of early pilgrimages to contemporary
journeys to sacred places. Religious sites, rituals, festivals and ceremonies are
considered important attractions for both religious followers with special systems
of belief and tourists with a casual interest. Perhaps, this characteristic of the
tourism experience is the main reason for spiritual tourism experiences being
recently popular among individuals who have started engaging in spirituality-driven experiences and among persons aiming to develop their continuing sublime
engagement by means of travel. There are various reasons for travelling for
spiritual growth which is opposed to the traditional notions of pilgrimage and
religious tourism. However, relatively few scholars have explored the
multitudinous relationships between religion, spirituality, and sustainable tourism,
despite the pervasiveness of religious tourism and spiritual connections to place. A
subject that has received only scant attention in the literature is the negative social
and ecological impacts of religious (mass) tourism. Several authors have noted the
negative impacts of religious tourism on the commercialization of places and
artifacts that were once held as sacred locations. The commodification of religious
symbols and the economic implications of selling them should become of increased
interest to researchers as the world becomes more consumption-oriented
Statistical thinking frameworks and models comparative study in global models
No full textThe current study aims to trace and analyze statistical thinking frameworks of various types in terms of their origin, types, dimensions, tasks, skills focused on them, hierarchy and sequence of levels, their theoretical and educational reference, The use of technology in its construction and the possibility of integration between all different statistical thinking frameworks or the construction of new frameworks. It relied on the inductive method in the survey of literature, studies and scientific reports that monitored the frameworks of statistical thinking. It also adopted the descriptive approach in analyzing and concluding the relationship between different statistical thinking frameworks Comparing and categorizing them , The most important results of the study that emerged from the frameworks of statistical thinking is different from the educational, statistical or commercial, etc., and most of the frameworks are one-dimensional and a few of them are two-dimensional, and the majority focused on the use of practical issues or tasks to reveal the levels of statistical thinking of learners, Computational thinking within the framework of statistical thinking, he study concluded several conclusions and recommendations. The most prominent of these was that the recent statistical thinking frameworks did not receive such global attention, despite their importance. However, the study recommended the need to increase attention to the frameworks of statistical thinking by developing them and to find a mechanism for integration among them or to build new statistical thinking frameworks
