Composition and generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Malaysia: Balakong city case study
No full textMunicipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is one of the most challenging issues faced by most
developing countries. Knowledge of solid waste generation and composition is necessary for accurate decision-making
in terms of engineering design, planning and forecasting for the management strategy of urban waste. The objective of
this study was to determine MSW generation and composition in an urban area of Balakong City, Selangor, Malaysia.
The application of a linear model on solid waste forecasting was also performed in this study. A survey of household
residents in eight housing areas in Balakong was carried out for one month from January to February 2011. Data were
collected on a daily basis. In total, organic waste was the highest composition (5,344 kg, 68.6%) among the solid waste
generated in all eight housing areas. Plastic and paper comprised of 10.4% (811 kg) and 9.5% (736 kg) of the solid
waste generated. The least composition was glass (270 kg, 3.5%) and metals (204 kg, 2.5%). Other type of disposables
comprised of 5.5% (419 kg) of the total solid waste generated. A linear model on solid waste forecasting has determined
slightly higher prediction on solid waste generation with a statistically significant difference was obtained at p < 0.05
Malay Muslim integration in upper southern provinces: Role of the Thai government
No full textMigration by nature can lead to integration. This is possible when a
nation-state takes a clear stand on the practices of multiculturalism. Most
Asian countries have failed to adopt multiculturalism and rather practice the
policy of assimilation. Yet multiculturalism has become popular as this concept incorporates recognition of ethnic and national minorities and supports
their cultural identity. Due to longstanding conflict in the southernmost provinces of Thailand, various data suggests that many Malay-Muslims migrated
to the upper southern provinces of Thailand in recent years. In this context,
internal migration occurred mainly for economic as well as security reasons.
Consequently, in some provinces demographic numbers have changed. In the
near future, there may be changes in Thai society, especially in the upper
southern provinces. The main purpose of this study is to ascertain how the
government accommodates internal migration especially in upper southern
provinces. In order to develop a multicultural society, the Thai government
should nurture minority issues in various ways. Apart from the government,
Thai civil society—comprising academics and NGOS—has addressed it from
their own perspectives. Still, there is no comprehensive approach to deal with this issue. Aside from the lack of cultural and political integration, Thai society may face severe related challenges to migration in the next decade
Meningkatkan efikasi kendiri guru di malaysia terhadap kecenderungan pembelajaran generasi z dan alpha
No full textPendidikan di Malaysia pada hari ini memerlukan guru yang berefikasi tinggi bagi memenuhi
kehendak pendidikan abad ke-21. Salah satu dimensi penting dalam efikasi kendiri guru ialah strategi
pengajaran. Guru-guru perlu menguasai teknik dan strategi pengajaran terkini memandangkan muridmurid generasi Z dan alpha mempunyai kecenderungan pembelajaran yang berbeza berbanding
generasi X dan Y. Namun pengajaran berasaskan telekomunikasi semasa masih terhad dan tidak
sepenuhnya diaplikasi dalam proses pengajaran. Justeru, kertas kerja ini bertujuan menganalisis
bentuk-bentuk kecenderungan pelajar generasi Z terhadap proses pembelajaran dan strategi-strategi
terkini yang boleh diaplikasi oleh guru-guru. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif yang
menggunakan pendekatan analisis kandungan sebagai metodologi kajian. Dapatan menunjukkan
bahawa kecenderungan pelajar generasi Z dan alpha terhadap pembelajaran melalui kaedah gamifikasi
dan penggunaaan alat telekomunikasi moden lebih menarik minat murid berbanding pembelajaran
menggunakan kaedah tradisional. Kertas kerja ini mencadangkan guru-guru di Malaysia dapat
melakukan anjakan paradigma dalam proses penyampaian ilmu kepada generasi Z dan alpha agar
selari dengan arus pendidikan revolusi 4.0
Implementing the element of Islamic perspective view in mental health problems
No full textScholars emphasized that the practice of the riya’will be punished and even the
nature riya’itself will bring the anger and torment of Allah S.W.T. The nature of riya
depends on the quality, purity, and sincerity of the intentions. It compromised of three
categories. If the driver of the practice coincides with his motivator, so both become
equally strong, then both should be dropped and the practice is considered to be
neither sympathy nor innocent. If the impetus of riya 'is stronger and prevents others,
the practice will not benefit, but will give harm and torture. Torture in such a state is
lighter than the practice of torture simply because of riya '. If the intent to draw closer
to Allah is heavier or more likely to be compared to other impulses, then one will be
rewarded just as the excess of the strength of his sincerity, as the word of Allah s.w.t:
So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it. (Al-Zalzalah 99: 7-8
Using the Exploration Factor Analysis (EFA) to measure the validity and reliability for da'wah approach of jemaah tabligh
No full textThe Jemaah Tabligh dakwah approach study uses quantitative studies based on the Structural Equation Model
(SEM) to analyze the various relationships between variables in the model. This study aims to develop and verify the
validity and reliability of the instrument using the Exploration Factor Analysis (EFA) to measure the construction of
religious charities, religious knowledge, method of delivery and emotional intelligence in the field of dakwah. This
study has adapted the instruments developed by some earlier researchers, and also modified some statements in
accordance with current studies. Therefore, it is necessary to re-run the Analysis of Factor Analysis of the
Exploration (EFA), as the current study area may differ from previous studies, or the current study population is far
different from previous studies in terms of socio-economic status, ethnicity and culture (Awang, 2010). Overall, the
findings revealed that 15 items were abolished after the EFA was implemented. Only the reduction of items for the
construction of the Ibadah Amal only, is 15 items. This reduction is due to a number of things that have been built
before, no longer suitable for current studies or there are different item structures in current studies compared to
previous study structures. The researchers need to recalculate the value of Internal Indicators of the current
instrument for the new Alpha Cronbach value. Based on Awang's suggestion (2010; 2012), researchers decided to
carry out the EFA re-item to measure the construction and in this study will be described in detail the procedure for
conducting an EFA analysis for each construction

scavenging status, which can further increase the detrimental effects of free radicals.
Objective: To study the effect of syringin on the magnitudes of oxidative stress in high-fat-diet fed, low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) induced experimental diabetes (T2DM) in rats
Arabic vocabulary needed by Malay learners of Arabic as a foreign language
No full textMastering Arabic vocabulary is not an easy task especially for non-native learners of Arabic.
Moreover, the Arabic language is very rich in terms of vocabulary, terminologies, synonymous
and binomials; thus, making word choice and comprehension difficult for non-native learners.
Therefore, this study aims to examine the common Arabic words needed by Arabic as a foreign
language (AFL) learners to communicate, and consequently design a model that can be
adopted in planning a comprehensible multilingual dictionary of Arabic, English and Malay.
This study employed a descriptive method of analysing quantitative research using (SPSS). A
close-ended questionnaire was devised which consists of selected common Arabic vocabulary
from the letter 'Alif' to the letter 'Jeem', to gain participants’ insights on the words’ importance
and width of use among non-native speakers of Arabic. The participants were 85 postgraduate learners of Arabic who were also English speakers from the University of Madinah Saudi
Arabia. Using SPSS, the data analysed resulted in a total of 1711common words that were
agreed by majority of the participants. After further analysis of the data, the researchers found
that 1071 words out of 1711 words were determined as common words needed by beginners of
AFL learners.Finally,a tri-lingual dictionary (Arabic, English, Malay) was formed based on
those common words for the AFL learners

Kanak-kanak tidak terkawal di mahkamah bagi kanak-kanak di Malaysia
No full textUmum mengetahui bahawa Mahkamah Bagi Kanak-Kanak di Malaysia mempunyai
bidang kuasa ke atas kanak-kanak yang melakukan jenayah dan kanak-kanak yang menjadi
mangsa penderaan, pengabaian atau salah laku moral. Namun, tidak ramai yang sedar bahawa
mahkamah tersebut juga boleh mendengar permohonan terhadap kanak-kanak di luar kawalan
ibu bapa atau penjaga mereka meskipun salah laku mereka tidak bersifat jenayah seperti
ponteng sekolah, lari dari rumah, balik lewat ke rumah dan mengingkari perintah ibu bapa.
Pemberian bidang kuasa ini menandakan campur tangan pihak kerajaan dalam masalah
dalaman keluarga khususnya berkaitan hubungan ibu bapa dan anak. Perintah “tidak terkawal”
yang dikeluarkan oleh mahkamah akan memindahkan kuasa keibubapaan daripada ibu bapa
kandung kepada kerajaan. Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti
dasar kepada bidang kuasa Mahkamah Bagi Kanak-Kanak di Malaysia dalam mengendalikan
kes kanak-kanak tidak terkawal di samping menganalisa sejauh mana mahkamah tersebut boleh
campur tangan dalam menyelesaikan masalah salah laku kanak-kanak ini. Bagi mencapai
objektif tersebut, kajian ini menggunakan metod kajian perpustakaan dalam pengumpulan data
melalui analisa statut, buku, jurnal, laporan, media cetak, prosiding konferens dan lain-lain
dokumen. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa pengendalian kes kanak-kanak tidak terkawal oleh
Mahkamah Bagi Kanak-Kanak di Malaysia adalah berdasarkan prinsip parens patriae yang
berasal daripada English common law di mana kegagalan ibu bapa dalam mengawal anak
mereka membenarkan mahkamah untuk melakukan intervensi
