Concept Based Lattice Mining (CBLM) using Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) for text mining
No full textExtracting relevant resources according to a query is imperative due to the factors of time and accuracy. This study
proposes a model that enables query matching using output lattices from Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) tool, based
on Graph Theory. The deployment of FCA concept lattices ensures that the matching is done based on extracted
concepts; not just mere keywords matching hence producing more relevant results. The focus of this study is on the
method of Concept Based Lattice Mining (CBLM) where similarities among output lattices will be compared using
their normalized adjacency matrices, utilizing a distance measure technique. The corresponding trace values obtained
determines the degree of similarities among the lattices. An algorithm for CBLM is proposed and preliminary
experimentation demonstrated promising results where lattices that are more similar have smaller trace values while
higher trace values indicates greater dissimilarities among the lattices
Introduction to technologised Quranic learning in Ulul Albab Quranic studio
No full textThis article aims to introduce Ulul Albab Quranic Studio (UAQS) which was built
upon cooperation between University Malaysia Terengganu and Education Welfare
Council of Besut and analyse its usage from the aspect of technologised Quranic
learning. Discussion on the learning process of al-Quran is always mentioned by
many sides as it is an obligatory upon every Muslim. This is important because it
involves compulsory recitation in the prayer and sunat muakkad outside the prayer as
a highly encouraged form of worship in Islam. Usually, the learning process of alQuran is performed traditionally based on the talaqqi and musyafahah techniques
through recitation before a trusted teacher. However, development of science and
technology nowadays has improved the learning techniques by the establishment of
the first UAQS in Malaysia. The questions are, how was UAQS established? What is
meant by technologised quranic learning? How far is the extent of usage and
advantages of quranic studio compared to previous methods? This article utilised
content analysis method to several related texts and special interviews to answer the
questions. The discussion in this article is arranged into three parts. First, the history
of UAQS establishment. Second, the usage of UAQS from the beginning until today.
Third, analysis of the UAQS preferences compared to traditional methods. As a
result, this article found that there are four main advantages of technologised quranic
learning in the studio which are efficient audio-visual utilisation, interactive learning,
conducive atmosphere and scientific measurement of recitation achievement. It can be
concluded that all these advantages are on the right track of learning al-Quran today
and compatible with standard guidelines of Quranic recitation
The impact of reading strategies on EFL students: A research review
No full textThe need to provide appropriate methods of teaching to meet the growing needs of students is increasing
as more and more students begin to learn English. This is particularly important for students studying English, who
may only be introduced to English in their classroom in a foreign country. Reading strategies have been developed
to help learners to resolve language barriers, such as vocabulary and grammar. Teaching reading strategies are
proposed as an efficient way of delivering a learning environment that focuses on learners to promote learner
independence and develop their language skills. Thirteen research studies were synthesized by means of a Mixed
Methods Research Synthesis that collects qualitative and quantitative data, then analyzes them using both
qualitative and quantitative approaches. The findings suggest that the evidence does not demonstrate that reading
strategies are an effective means for EFL students to improve their comprehension of reading, but it is still
uncertain whether certain strategies are better than others. As the results do not provide a particular conclusion on
the efficacy of reading strategies, it is concluded that it cannot be helpful to language skills growth by using
available class time to teach readings strategies
Model confirmotory factor analisi (CFA) kesan strategi kepimpinan terhadap kecemerlangan sekolah diperantarakan oleh atribut pengetua berkesan Di Selatan Thailand
No full textKajian ini bertujuan untuk menguji model yang dicadangkan tentang konstruk strategi
kepimpinan SK, konstruk atribut pengetua berkesan APB, dan konstruk kecemerlangan sekolah KS,
di kalangan pengetua sekolah di selatan Thailand dengan data yang dikumpulkan. Kajian tinjauan
ini merupakan kajian inferensi dengan menggunakan data-data kuantitatif. Seramai 310 orang
sebagai responden daripada pengetua sekolah, meliputi lima wilayah selatan Thailand, dipilih
melalui teknik Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Dapatannya; analisis confirmatory factor
analysis CFA, digunakan untuk memantapkan struktur faktor yang mewakili laten varibel dalam
kajian ini. Model pengukuran bagi konstruk strategi kepimpinan SK, konstruk atribut pengetua
berkesan APB, dan konstruk kecemerlangan sekolah KS, didapati nilai memuaskan berdasarkan fit
indices, model disahkan lagi didapati padanan model pengukuran dan struktural memuaskan.
Dengan secara umumnya, hasil yang didapati pada kajian ini mempunyai implikasi yang baik pada
setiap-setiap faktor di cadangkan
Nation-building among youths in Malaysia: The civic education approach
No full textThis article focuses on the nation-building among youths in Malaysia through civic education.
Today's youths are exposed to various social challenges, including domestic and global
intimidations, and they are easily involved in social problems and immoral activities.
Moreover, some of the youths are seen as close-minded, lack respect for the elders and intolerant in their daily life which may affect inter-ethnic relations in a multiethnic society. It
is crucial to foster the youths to ensure a better development of the country. The government
has implemented civic education approach in educating the youths to foster a strong patriotism
and nationalism, and strengthen their loyalty towards the country. The purpose of this study is
to provide insights into the implementation of civic education approach cultivating civic
consciousness among the Malaysian youth groups. This study employed quantitative approach
through a survey technique by using questionnaires distributed to 431 Malaysian youths from
Universiti Putra Malaysia (i.e 241 Malay and 190 Chinese students). Descriptive analysis was
implemented to compare and contrast the intensity of civic education based on three
dimensions, namely civic knowledge, civic skills and civic disposition. The findings show that
the Malay and Chinese respondents have high levels of civic education and high civic
consciousness as to understand the importance of living in a multiethnic society. The positive
integration among the Malays and Chinese will strengthen a sense of belonging among the
Malaysian youths. This study concludes that civic education in this country is important as the
foundation for unity and the construction of a dreamed nation-state
Respons of Islamic stock markets to monetary policy empirical evidence from Indonesia
No full textPurpose - The impact of stock market and capital formation on economic
growth in Indonesia for the period of January 2015 –May 2019.This paper
examines a long-run equilibrium relation between stock market, capital
formation and economic growth and other control variables.
Method-This study uses autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model.
Result- Findings revealed that none of the models was stationary at level
but were all stationary at first difference. There is not a short run significant
relationship betweenstock market, capital formation and economic growth
in Indonesia. In the long run, capital formation has a significant positive
association on economic growth and a negative non-significant relationship
between stock market and economic growth in Indonesia.
Implication-This research is useful to know the response of Sharia market
to monetary policy instruments in Indonesia so that the Sharia stock
market strategy is potentially developing in the future to encourage the
achievement of characteristics such as An alternative source of financing
and investment for economic actors and able to facilitate risk mitigation
needs for market participants and able to drive the efficiency of
transactions in the market through the improvement of the quality of stock
market infrastructure Sharia.
Originality-The update of this research is response of Sharia stock market
response to monetary policy instruments in Indonesia that are researched
using ARDL models
