Literature and gender equality as national sustainable goals
No full textVery often, public expresses dissatisfaction over the lack of respect for women. Yet, this poses
an important question– what has been done at improving the local situation where women are
cheated, their rights are questioned and left behind? Malaysia at present, is ranked six out of
ten based on Social Sustainability Index (SSI) 2016, surpassing an alert level. While the
government remains consistent in its effort to distribute gender equality, the promotion of
social sustainability issues, particularly in the areas of gender equality, can further be
improved upon. This study, as such, aims to rationalise the Ministry of Education’s recent
effort of bringing back literary appreciation into schools in general in its hopes to achieve a
sustainable living space and developing the nation’s civilizational growth. Besides that, the
study also associates a correlation between literature-inclusion in classrooms and
encouraging the vocalisation of opportunities and dreams, where the lack of literary
appreciation in the recent past shows vulnerability and lack of respect for both genders. Later,
it provides a discussion over the roles of literature as an agent of creating awareness for gender
equality in classrooms. Without using any particular research design, this study provides a
discussion of initiatives at providing the basis of including literature as part of the national
language policy and planning. This study on its inclusion in classrooms reiterates past
research on encouraging results and high morale among the school teachers and the public as
due to its use in classrooms
In Vitro Micropropagation of Aquarium Plants Pearl Grass Hemianthus micranthemoides (Nuttall) and Micro Sword Grass Lilaeopsis brasiliensis (Glaziou) Affolter (Apiaceae)
No full textHemianthus micranthemoides and Lileaopsis brasiliensis are nowadays sold in the form of tissue culture production by
aquaria and ornamental trade in Malaysia. However, there is no to limited report about in vitro micropropagation
of both aquarium plants. In this study, an experimental procedure for micropropagation of both plants was
documented. The propagation were done in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with eight combination of
different concentration of 6-Benzylaminopurine with Naphteneacetic acid (BAP-NAA) and 1-phenyl-3-1,2,3-
thiadizol-5-yl urea with Naphteneacetic acid (TDZ-NAA) following the rooting technique for 42 days. All
treatments for 1 L MS medium were regulated to pH 5.7 to 5.8 and added with sucrose (30 g/L) and phytagel (2.5
g/L). All combination treatments had induced rooting. There was a significance different in the shoot regeneration
of H. micranthemoides in all treatment (95% confidence level, F = 13.907, n = 240, p = 0.000), on the contrary there
was no different were observed in shoot regeneration of L. brasiliensis treatment. Overall, all treatment of TDZNAA were significantly higher in the shoot regeneration than those in BAP-NAA treatment. Particularly the T7
(TDZ-NAA, 0.075: 0.1 mg/L) given highest result in diameter (1.626±0.213 cm) and area (1.724±0.308 cm2) of
shoot clumps in H. micranthemoides, and formation of shoots (51.5±4.95), nodes (20.0±2.83) and roots (45.5±13.4)
in L. brasiliensis. Hardening of in vitro cultured plantlets was done in aquatic laboratory. All of the plants survived
and transferred into aquarium. This study has provided beneficial information in further micropropagation
protocol for the mass production of both aquarium plants

أسلوب المنفلوطي في كتابه (النظرات)
No full textMustafa Lutfi Manfalouti, a social reform writer, has many articles and books. One of the writer’s famous books is ‘Al- nazarat’ in which he dealt with various topics in the criticism of several aspects of life. In this book, the author focused on reality, imagination, and illustrations because he is critical in the choice of adjectives and their nouns. Thus, the author provides detailed descriptions and uses narrative techniques that express his full coverage of events such as al- ru’yah min khalf, al- ru’yah al- Ilahiyyah, and al- ru’yah ma’. The author relies on the choice of feminine gender for expressions in tragic stories, focusing on pessimism and criticism towards painful social realities, using various stories on his extensive historical background, and establishing the reader's principle of contentment and self- respect. The author also addresses the people concerned in most of his reformist speeches, believing that they have original and good qualities. This study describes Manfalouti’s style as observed by the researcher through reading the various stories in the author’s books and articles. The themes are briefly described and categorized according to the appropriate contexts
Genetics of primary congenital glaucoma
No full textPrimary Congenital Glaucoma (PCG) is a major risk factor for vision loss in children, which is manifested from
birth to three years of age. In PCG the ocular developmental defects of the trabecular meshwork (TM) and front
chamber position of eye lead to the blockage of aqueous loss and consequently an increased intraocular pressure
(IOP). This results in photophobia, corneal clouding, optic nerve damage, and ultimately permanent loss of
vision occurs. The incidence of PCG varies geographically. In Eastern culture, consanguineous marriages may
play a role in a higher rate of PCG. Four loci of GLC3A, GLC3B, GLC3C, and 14q24.2-q24.3 to be linked to this
ocular condition have been identified. Currently, mutations in two genes i.e.CYP1B1 at GLC3A locus, which
encodes cytochrome P4501B1, and LTBP2 at GLC3D locus, which encodes LTBP2is known to cause PCG.CYP1B1
comprises of 3 exons encoding a 543 amino acid protein. CYPIBI is a gene that belongs to the cytochrome P450
family of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases that catalyse many reactions involved in
the synthesis of cholesterol, steroids, other lipids, and drug metabolism. A lot of mutations have been reported in
CYP1B1, which results in the form of PCG
Pink to blue: A preventable pacifier death
No full textPacifier usage in paediatric age group, especially during the infancy stage, is common. The practice
is widespread as it soothes the child and further supported by the fact that, it may relieve the pain and reduce
the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Acute fatal complications are rare, but chronic
complications are common. Fatal, life-threatening sequelae includes upper airway obstruction. We report a
case of fatal upper airway obstruction due to pacifier in a 16-month-old baby boy. Early emergency airway
management is crucial at the pre-hospital level as delays in securing a patent airway will end up with hypoxia
and respiratory arrest. Failure to anticipate and initiate appropriate early interventions contribute to
preventable death. Hence, it is recommended that appropriate acute airway management includes surgical
airway at primary care should be taught regularly to ensure that all emergency health care providers are
competent in managing airway obstruction. We want to suggest that pacifiers use in child nursery without
closed supervision from baby sitter shall be prohibited
Hubungan antara penagihan dadah dengan keganasan rumah tangga (The relationship between drug addiction and domestic violence)
No full textPertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) dan negara-negara anggotanya melalui Resolusi Perhimpunan
Kesihatan Sedunia 49.25 telah mengakui bahawa keganasan adalah masalah awam yang serius dan juga
merupakan suatu pencabulan hak asasi manusia. Di Malaysia, istilah “keganasan rumah tangga” merujuk
kepada keganasan yang dilakukan oleh pasangan terhadap isteri atau orang yang disayangi. Statistik
menunjukkan bahawa kes penagihan dadah meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan jumlah kes keganasan
rumah tangga. Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk mengkaji perspektif responden berkenaan keganasan rumah
tangga terutamanya dalam kalangan pengguna-pengguna opiat di Malaysia khususnya di Terengganu
seterusnya kesan penagihan dadah terhadap keharmonian rumah tangga. Kaedah pengajian prospektif telah
dijalankan dalam tempoh enam bulan ke atas 30 orang penagih opiat yang sedang menerima rawatan Terapi
Gantian Metadon (TGM) di sekitar Kuala Terengganu dengan menggunakan borang kaji selidik. Analisis
deskriptif digunakan untuk menganalisis data dalam kajian kuantitatif. Kajian ini menggunakan perisian
SPSS versi 22.0%.Hasil kajian memfokuskan hubungan kekeluargaan, perlakuan, tingkah laku serta emosi di
antara respondan dan pasangan. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa hampir 80.0% responden tidak
mempunyai sejarah penderaan sebelum ini dan tidak melakukan keganasan rumah tangga terhadap pasangan
mereka. Sebanyak 39.4% responden sangat bersetuju bahawa keganasan rumah tangga adalah jenayah,
berbanding 7.1% responden yang tidak bersetuju. Seterusnya, data menunjukkan bahawa 36.0% responden
bersetuju bahawa layanan mereka terhadap pasangan berubah setelah mengambil dadah. Data juga
membuktikan bahawa sebanyak 22.0% responden merasakan pasangan mereka berasa risau dan takut
apabila bersama mereka. Hasil daripada analisis data menunjukkan bahawa kebanyakan responden
merupakan individu yang mampu menjalani kehidupan normal sebelum pengambilan dadah. Walau
bagaimanapun, setelah pengambilan dadah, perubahan pada tingkah laku dan emosi responden
menyebabkan berlakunya keganasan dalam rumah tangga dan terhadap keluarga. Hal ini seterusnya
menyebabkan pasangan berasa tidak selamat apabila bersama responden
