Design and validation of web and computer-based food frequency questionnaire: a scoping review
Web and computer-based food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) provide a lot of advantages
including saving cost, reducing participants burden and improving response quality.
However, designing and validating a web or computer-based FFQ for a study can be a
challenge. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a scoping review on the design and
validation of web and computer-based FFQ among adult subjects. An electronic search
was conducted on the PubMed database to identify studies published from 2009 to 2018
that included a web or computer-based FFQ for assessment of dietary intake among
adult population. A pool of 27 articles were examined in-depth to assess the development,
comparison or validation of a web or computer-based FFQ. Most of the studies (55%) were
done in European countries. The number of food/drink items listed in the FFQ ranges from
12 to 270 items and portion size of food was estimated using images, ranging from three
to seven images per food item or a standard portion size using household measurement.
The reference period was usually over a period of one month up to one year. Majority of the
study (78%) focus on intake of all food groups except for several studies that focuses on
specific nutrient or food group namely sodium, fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, fruits and
vegetables, and beverage intake. There were only three studies that recorded supplement
intake during web or computer-based dietary assessment. Out of 27 studies, a total of 22
carried out validation studies using a variety of reference method such as 24hours diet
recall (24%), food diary/ records (27%), weighed food record (27%), paper version of FFQ
(22%) and biomarker (1%). As a conclusion, a variety of web and computer-based FFQ were
used in research worldwide. Strategies to improve the application of current evidence on
best practices in designing and validating a web or computer-based FFQ have the potential
to improve nutritional epidemiology studies
Translation and validation of the Malay version of comprehensive geriatric assessment questionnaire for elderly patients in Malaysia
The study aimed to translate and validate the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA)
questionnaire in Malay language among elderly patients in Malaysia. The questionnaire
contains items on sociodemographic characteristics, medical condition, quality of life,
nutritional status, functional capacity, and depression status. The forward and backward
translation process of the original English version questionnaire was done by 3 independent
linguistic translators and validated its content by an expert team of 7 geriatricians, physicians,
dietitian and lecturers. The Malay version of the questionnaire was tested for face validity in
10 over 65 year old elderly patients admitted to medical wards in Hospital Universiti Sains
Malaysia, Malaysia. The internal consistency reliability and construct validity were evaluated
in a group of 166 elderly patients (mean age 71.0 years, 73.5% male) at Medical Outpatients
Department (MOPD) and medical wards of Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah, Kuala Terengganu,
Malaysia. The questionnaire was administered through face-to-face interviews with the
patients. Minor amendments were made after the content and face validity tests. The internal
consistency reliability was good as the Cronbach’s alpha of most of the scales achieved 0.70,
ranging from 0.70 to 0.98 with only one exception (MNA-SF, Cronbach’s alpha 0.62). Factor
loading of all scales were loaded satisfactorily above 0.40, ranging from 0.45 to 0.90. The
Malay version of the CGA showed evidence of satisfactory internal consistency reliability and
constructs validity in Malaysian geriatric patients and is therefore recommended for use to
assess the quality of life, nutritional, functional, and depression status in this population
The basic steps of analyzing the data outliers with mahalanobis distance (MDI) technique: a study on the influence of human capital investment at polytechnic in East Coast Malaysia
Data analysis involved the process of developing answers to research questions through the examination and clarification of data and data screening process is a crucial part to prepare the data for further analysis. Therefore, this paper will highlight on the steps of Mahalanobis distance (MDi) implementation as one of the techniques to remove the data outliers by using the Statistical Procedure of Social Science (SPSS) software. The paper is going to adopt the data derived from the study which was conducted in 9 polytechnic campuses in East Coast Malaysia- Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu. The numbers of population (14=1408 respondents) are consists of the lecturers from various departments. While the sample size (n) are 345 respondents. The questionnaire was distributed to obtain the feedback from the respondents by using the stratified sampling procedure. The questionnaire was consisting of 8 section with 1 dependents variable, 6 independent variables and 1 moderator

Disabled learning students before, during, and after the rehabilitation tools: a case study
Learning disability involves students with reading, writing, and counting disabilities. A clinical work was done amongst
six pupils at a primary school in Malaysia. Three of them were learning-disabled pupils and the other three were
learning-able pupils. The purpose of the clinical work was to determine whether private lessons, parenting advice, and
food supplements as treatments could make significant difference to the assessment results of learning-disabled
pupils at school. The basis of test scores in Malay language and Mathematics subjects, the clinical work had shown
that learning disabled-students demonstrated significant improvement before, during, and after administering the
treatments. Hence, private lessons, parental advice, and food supplements can be used as rehabilitation tools to help
learning-disabled pupils learn effectively not unlike their learning-able peers
Protection of Children Beyond Control in IR 4.0 Era: The Role of the International Conventions
Industrial revolution 4.0 undeniably affects the way of life of human beings including children. The rapid
development in the internet and digital technology makes them more susceptible to harm either through
the social media, films or games due to the unlimited, easy and fast access. This situation may place
children beyond control in a great threat due to the broken relationship with their parents and families.
Children beyond control may be found anywhere. They are children who frequently disobey their parents’
orders and are well known as “status offenders”. Despite the non-criminal nature of their misbehavior,
children beyond control are often criminally treated through the involvement in court proceedings and
detention orders. At international level, several international conventions and rules have been signed to
protect the children generally

provision to strengthen national identity which is increasingly threatened by
modernization
