    Realiti yang berlaku pada hari ini berkaitan dengan keperluan pengurusan dokumentasi penyusuan anak susuan sangat diperlukan ekoran berlakunya pengambilan ibu susuan yang melibatkan jarak yang jauh serta faktor inovasi dalam sains dan teknologi. Penyusuan bayi yang berlaku apabila penyusuan berlaku tidak secara langsung menyebabkan bayi dan ibu susuan saling tidak mengenali antara satu sama lain bahkan boleh juga terjadi ibu bapa bayi tersebut tidak mengenali ibu susuan anak mereka. Hal ini demikian kerana, perhubungan antara ibu susuan dan keluarga bayi hanya berlaku di alam maya, dan susu ibu hanya dipos mengikut permintaan keluarga bayi yang memerlukan susu ibu sehingga tercetusnya hubungan nasab iaitu anak susuannya. Proses pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kaedah perpustakaan dan kaedah temu bual. Hasil pengumpulan data kajian, menunjukkan keadaan ini semakin membimbangkan apabila masyarakat yang mengamalkan budaya penyusuan anak susuan tidak mengambil tahu implikasi penyusuan terhadap anak susuan. Kajian ini adalah untuk mendidik dan memberikan kesedaran kepada masyarakat berkenaan dengan kepentingan dalam mengendalikan pengurusan dokumentasi penyusuan anak susuan. Pendokumentasian ini adalah bukti kepada penyusuan anak susuan dalam menjaga nasab susuan selaras dengan perubahan sosial yang berlaku. Jika tiada pengurusan dokumentasi penyusuan yang mensabitkan mahram susuan akan membawa kepada perkahwinan sesama mahram. Hasil kajian ini, menunjukkan terdapatnya keperluan dan perhatian dari pihak berkuasa dalam usaha untuk mendokumentasikan penyusuan anak susuan ini secara rasmi. Secara tidak langsung dapat mendidik masyarakat supaya cakna dalam mengendalikan dokumentasi penyusuan anak susuan

    The Strategic of Corporate Social Responsibility Management in Improving Society Sustainable Development

    No full text
    Malaysia is committed and confident in achieving the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda. The nation has demonstrated that it is possible to set and achieve the targets through sustained, systematic and dedicated efforts. The importance of addressing the topic of sustainable development has been widely acknowledged. The researchers call for future studies that would develop new perspectives to establish a model of Corporate Social Responsibility Management (CSRM) to improve sustainable development performance. Currently, most of studies focus on organizational perspectives, while the individual perspective on the issue of greenwashing and its impacts on economy, society, and environment are not extensively covered. In addition, a comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility Management Model is yet to be developed. Therefore, this study wants to explore on how Corporate Social Responsibility Management Model could serve as a guide to improve the sustainability performance and reduce the practice of greenwashing to society. A literature review and qualitative data collection, combining two focus groups and six interviews with opinion leaders, were the basis for a discussion on this study. The respondents were those who involved in managing sustainable development and social responsibility management in their companies. The results would present the need to enhance corporate social responsibility management model by including the sustainability elements such as economic, social and environment. Moreover, this study showed the importance of knowledge transfer variable in the model. More importantly, the outcomes of Corporate Social Responsibility Management could be used to measure outcomes of society sustainable development in this context in order to provide insight into the true impact of the sustainability performance for the societal well-being in Malaysia

    POTENTIAL ALLELOPATHIC EFFECT OF Passiflora foetida ON Brassica chinensis AND Zea mays

    Interest in developing effective biological weed management system increased because of the awareness of problems associated with the intensive use of herbicides. Thus, alielopathy has been suggested to be one of the possible alternatives for achieving sustainable weed management. Passiflora foetida is a terrestrial perennial herbaceous vine weed and its common name in Malaysia is leletup'. Passiflora foetida is the serious weed for several crops and has medicinal value. Previous study had found that P. foetida exhibited high alielopathic activity among 15 weed species that had been tested using sandwich and dish pack method. However, there is limited information about the allelopathic activity of P. foetida under soil condition. Thus, this study was carried out to investigate the regulatory role of dry leaf litter and leaf litter aqueous extract of P. foetida on two crop species, which were Brassica chinensis and Zea mays under soil condition. The dry leaf litters were mixed with soil in three concentrations (i.e; 2.5%, 5% and 10%) and leaf Utter aqueous extract were prepared and dilutions into 2.5%, 5% and 10% along with control (have no leaf litter) in three replicates. The hypocotyl length, radicle length, chlorophyll content, leaf area, biomass of shoot and biomass of root were recorded after three weeks of experiment. Soil samples at culture bioassay and were analyzed for pH, salinity, nitrogen (N), were taken from p phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Results showed that the effect of leaf litter was more severe on these plant parameters of both tested species compared to leaf litter extract. There was complete 100% growth inhibition of B. chinensis when applied with 10% of P. foetida leaf litter. The highest concentration of leaf litter reduced the highest hypocotyl and radicle length, and the lowest concentration reduced the The total chlorophyll content of both species reduced significantly when applied with leaf litter. However, the salinity increased as the concentration of both treatments increased. Besides, N, P and K were also higher in both treatments compared to control. These results suggested that P. foetida have allelopathic activity and further studies need to be carried out to identify the allelochemicals involved in these inhibitory activities

    Virtual lower limb stroke rehabilitation to assess post stroke patients

    . Stroke is a disease that causes disability in adults due to the abrupt interruption of constant blood flow to the brain. Most people encounter difficulties with movement after a stroke, which prevents them from moving around. However, patients often show a lessened endurance and motivation in participating in these boring exercises. This may lead to an early termination of stroke rehabilitation, which can cause permanent disability in life. The application of virtual reality in stroke rehabilitation provides an immersive environment to increase the engagement of patients in rehabilitation exercises. In this study, a prototype named virtual lower limb stroke rehabilitation (VRLite) was developed and tested with post stroke patients on the accuracy of measurements and its usability and acceptance. The measurements of knee angles using Kinect and goniometer were compared using Bland-Altman plot to assess the system validity. The upper and lower LoA were 7.2° and −7.5° respectively. The result shows that 95% of LoA were within the upper and lower limit. The result shows that there is no significant difference between the measurements of knee angles using Kinect and goniometer. Hence, the developed program can be used interchangeably with the conventional rehabilitation

    Kertas Konsep Gejala Ketagihan Pornografi dalam Kalangan Kanak-kanak Perlu Ditangani Sewajarnya

    No full text
    Isu ketagihan pornografi kini semakin membarah dalam masyarakat namun masih dianggap taboo untuk diperbincangkan secara terbuka. Namun daripada berita atau laporan media ianya jelas amat membimbangkan. Kajian tentang isu ini juga tidaklah meluas sepertimana isu penagihan dadah dalam kalangan masyarakat. Pendekatan yang boleh dikatakan agak perlahan dalam menangani isu ini akan mendatangkan impak yang tidak terjangka pada masa depan. Malah jika gagal diberi perhatian keadaan ini akan mencalit seribu satu sejarah hitam kepada institusi kekeluargaan. Semua pihak samada kerajaan , masyarakat, golongan intelektual dan lain-lain sepatutnya memainkan peranan tersendiri dalam menangani isu ini. Realitinya dunia internet tanpa sempadan terlalu mudah membiakkan individu ketagihan pornografi seterusnya merekrut “perogol” remaja tanpa sedar memandangkan semua bahan rangsangan seks boleh diakses hanya dihujung jari. Oleh itu, penulis mencadangkan agar satu kajian secara terperinci perlu dilakukan untuk mengenalpasti apakah teknik atau pendekatan yang paling sesuai dan ampuh dalam menangani isu ini. Hasil dapatan ini boleh menjadi panduan kepada pihak yang terlibat samada mangsa yang ketagihan pornografi, ibubapa, guru mahupun masyarakat untuk turut sama membendung kegawatan ini daripada terus membarah dalam masyarakat
