Meta-model interaction for collaborative school subject management
No full textSubject management is a process of developing and coordinating of teaching materials. A collaborative subject
module management is used to allow participants to share and manage course modules via Internet technology.
Currently, Malaysian school does not have collaborative platform to manage subject materials. Teachers usually used
personalized tools to manage their subject modules. This article will discuss the modelling of cloud-based subject
module management. Raquel’s interaction meta-model is adopted as the central framework of the model. Based on
developed model, a prototype has been developed which implemented under cloud computing platform. In the
experiment, the prototype is evaluated using four cloud quality of service metrics. The results show that the model has
accomplished the metrics of efficiency of 62%, effectiveness of 64%, learnability of 62%, and attractiveness of 68%.
The proposed model could help to facilitate the development and management collaboration of subject module in
Malaysian schools. It provides a reliable collaborative platform among teachers, students, and school management
Solving traveling salesman problems using branch and bound methods
No full textThe traveling salesman problem is a well known optimization problem. Optimal solutions to small instances can be
found in reasonable time by linear programming. However, since the TSP is NP-hard, it will be very time consuming
to solve larger instances with guaranteed optimality. Setting optimality aside, there's a bunch of algorithms offering
comparably fast running time and still yielding near optimal solutions. Therefore, in this study we will examine the
search for solving TSP problem using branch and bound methods
An ensemble method with cost function on churn prediction
No full textAccurate customer churn classification is vital in any business organisation due to the higher cost involved in getting
new customers. In telecommunication businesses, companies have used various types of single classifiers to classify
customer churn, but the classification accuracy is still relatively low. However, the classification accuracy can be
improved by integrating decisions from multiple classifiers through an ensemble method. Despite having the ability
to produce higher classification accuracy, the ensemble method tends to produce similar or redundant classifiers.
Therefore, this paper aims to achieve higher classification accuracy and at the same time, minimising ensemble
classifiers by constructing a new ensemble method based on dimensionality reduction in soft set theory. The
combination of ensemble classifier is calculated based on the simple majority voting algorithm. The performance
measure used in determining the optimal subset of classifiers is the combination of Accuracy (ACC), True Negative
Rate (TNR) and True Positive Rate (TPR). The proposed soft set ensemble methods (SSPN and SSSC) are systematically
evaluated using customer churn data set taken from one of the local Telco companies in Malaysia. The selection and
combination algorithm (SSSC) has proven its supremacy by producing accuracy (ACC) of 87.0% for local Telco data set
and 94.0% for UCI data set, which is better than any other single classifier. This work proved that the proposed soft
ensemble method could search for the minimum number of classifiers in the ensemble repository while at the same
time improving the classification performance. In conclusion, the proposed soft ensemble method not only reduces
the number of members of the ensemble but is also able to produce the highest classification accurac
A Modern Approach Towards Istihsan
No full textIstihsan is not a new source of law. It is not a concept which stems from the sole exercise of one’s
conscience. Istihsan can sometimes be applied incorrectly due to misplaced prioritization. Whilst the
concept of Istihsan is wide, its proper implementation should never go against clear injunctions by the
primary sources. An approach which prioritizes any subjective social values over clear prohibitions and
admonitions found in the al-Quran and as-Sunnah are unsustainable. The objective of this paper to
discuss the role of Istihsan as well as misconception of its role whereby it was cloaked by other
secondary sources especially Maslahah or Masalih al-Mursalah or even Siyaasah as-Shar’iyyah. This is
a doctrinal research. It concludes that in the era of globalization and technological advancement, the
role of Istihsan seems to be more relevant and important

Maqasid Al- Quran dan pemusafiran : tinjauan terhadap surah Al-Kahf
No full textPengenalan: Al-Quran banyak sekali menceritakan kisah perjalanan para
nabi dan pengikutnya untuk pelbagai tujuan. Hal ini menggambarkan bahawa
pemusafiran adalah merupakan suatu perkara yang lumrah dalam kehidupan manusia.
Antara kisah pemusafiran dalam al-Quran adalah kisah nabi Musa dan seorang
pemuda yang bermusafir untuk menemui seorang hamba yang soleh. Kisah ini wajar
digali pengajaran dan hikmahnya kerana pemusafiran merupakan suatu tuntutan
kehidupan mengikut pada peredaran zaman. Objektif: Oleh itu, kertas kerja ini
bertujuan untuk membincangkan konsep, matlamat(maqasid) dan pengajaran di

Prosper-Thy-Neighbour (PTN) in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for Improving Society Sustainable Development
No full textMalaysian government has demonstrated Prosper-Thy-Neighbour (PTN) notion to promote
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach in national cooperation for the spirit of equality,
partnership and to secure for Malaysian peoples and for posterity the blessings of peace, freedom and
prosperity, and Malaysian‘s pledge to its peoples in the Prosper-Thy-Neighbour Vision 2021 - 2030
to realise a rules-based, people oriented, and people-centred Malaysia of ―Abuse of a Family
Members will also be Felt by other Family Members‖. Currently, most of the studies focus on
organizational perspectives, while the individual perspective on the issue of PTN in CSR and its
impacts on the economy, society, and environment are not extensively covered. In addition, a
comprehensive PTN in CSR approach is yet to be established. Therefore, this study wants to explore
how the PTN in CSR approach could serve as a guide to improve sustainability performance and
reduce the practice of greenwashing to society. A library search and qualitative data gathering,
joining two focus groups and six interviews with opinion leaders, were the source for a discussion on
this study. The respondents were those involved in managing sustainable development and social
responsibility management in their companies. The results would present the need to enhance the
PTN in CSR approach by including the sustainability elements such as economic, social and
environment. Moreover, this study showed the importance of knowledge management variable in the
approach. More importantly, the outcomes of PTN in CSR could be used to measure outcomes of
socially sustainable development in this context in order to provide insight into the true impact of the
sustainability performance for the societal well-being in Malaysi
