Gamifikasi dalam pendidikan: Satu kajian literatur
No full textIn recent years, one of the most recently introduced techniques and focuses on education is the integration
of gamification. The integration of gamification in education strives to encourage students to be more
motivated and actively engaged throughout the Teaching and Learning process (PdPc). Highly motivated
learners with active involvement in the PdPc process can enrich their experience. This article discusses the
integration of gamification in education to help solve various problems in education and learning that
students face especially in Malaysia. Extensive literature review methods are used to identify and analyze
relevant literature related to gamification in education. In particular, the literature discusses the basic
concepts of gamification, integration and the role of gamification in global education including its context
in Malaysia. Finally, the contribution and implications of gamification in theory and practical education
as well as suggestions for future research are presented
The influence of quality of work life (QWL) and organizational commitment on job performance among academics in the Malaysian public universities
No full textIn Malaysian, the education sector has become very significant in transforming Malaysia into a high-income country.
Therefore, the emphasis on the higher institutions has increased while the jobs of academics have become increasingly
demanding and challenging. The jobs of Malaysian academics are increasingly challenging because of the requirement of
attaining the key performance indicators (KPI) and the constant demands from universities and from stakeholders to produce
excellent and employable graduates in the country. Because of the aforementioned challenges in today’s workplace, high
commitment is required from the public universities academics. Thus, it is important for employers to understand the quality
of work life (QWL) of their employees if they are concerned about improving the employees’ organizational commitment and
job performance. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to close the gap that presently exists in the quality of work life
(QWL) study by determining the factors that improve or impede the relationship between QWL and job performance (JP) with
the mediating effect of organizational commitment (OC) among academics in the Malaysian public universities
Potentials and challenges of implementing Islamic wealth management in Jigawa State, Nigeria
No full textIslamic Wealth Management is being recognized worldwide, adopted by Muslims and
even some non-Muslims globally. Nevertheless, Jigawa State seems to be outdistanced in this
regard, despite the fact that it is a Muslim dominated society. Hence, the paper aims at pointing
out the potentials for such a Muslim community to strive in actualizing, formalizing and
implementing the system in their economic activities and proposing on overcoming the
challenges thereof. The study adopts a qualitative approach using a descriptive survey design
and document analysis method to analyze relevant literature and identify the challenges of the
implementation in Jigawa State, Nigeria. The study found out that there are a lot of challenges
which need to be tackled with public awareness on the importance and benefits of the system
and the religious obedience in the practice and also the actualization of proper and relevant
regulations and regulatory bodies in compliance with the Shari’ah. The study recommends that
authorities ought to endeavor to address the national administrative difficulties. Also the open
doors flourish for the development and advancement of Islamic wealth management in Jigawa
State, Nigeria should be emphasized
Ketepatan takwim Hijri Malaysia berdasarkan cerapan fasa bulan purnama
No full textThe beginning of the month for the Hijri calendar begins when the Moon appears or uses the method
of hisab. In context Hijri calendar in Malaysia, determination for the crescent moon by the imkannur
rukyah. According to this method, the beginning of the Hijri month begins when the Moon exists and
visible. Based on this justification the date of the new Hijri month was arranged. One of the main
features of the Islamic calendar, including the Hijri calendar, is that the calendar period must same
with the Moon phase. Therefore, the accuracy of the sighting crescent moon criterion can be tested
by the Moon phase. For this purpose, the test can be done by comparing the phases of the Moon with
the Hijri calendar. By observation the phases of the Moon phases on the dates near the full moon, on
the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th nights, the accuracy of the Moon phase with the Hijri date is
analyzed. The analysis was performed by comparing the sunset with the rising Moon, as well as the
percentage of phases of the Moon captured in photography. This information matches the Hijri
calendar to find out the accuracy of the Moon phase with the Hijri calendar. The results show that,
based on the date of the Malaysia Hijri calendar, the full moon phase occurs partly on the 14th night
of the 15th day and the rest on the 15th night of the 16th day
Aqueous extract of Etlingera elatior flowers improved blood glucose control, kidney function and histology of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
No full textDiabetes mellitus (DM) is the most critical health problem of chronic renal disorder that has
become a major reason in medical treatments of dialysis and kidney transplantation. In Malaysia, Etlingera
elatior has been used as a native medicine to reduce blood sugar among diabetic patients. This study aims to
evaluate the therapeutic effect of crude aqueous E. elatior flowers extract (AEEFE) on streptozotocin (STZ)-
induced diabetic rats taken orally. The effective dose in lowering blood glucose level in acute test was found
to be 300 mg/kg in the present study, and this was further evaluated in sub-acute test. The fasting blood
glucose level and the body weight of the rats were weekly monitored. At the end of the study, biochemical
parameters were subjected and the kidney histology was examined using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)
staining and scanning electron microscope (SEM). From the results, AEEFE appeared to significantly reduce
the blood glucose level compared to the untreated diabetic rat with consistent body weight. In addition, blood
urea nitrogen (BUN)has also shown a significant decrease in AEEFE-treated diabetic rats compared to the
control group. The histological analysis of kidney rats treated with AEEFEillustrated no change in the size
and structure of glomeruli with well-defined glomerular capillaries. Likewise, no mesangial hypercellularity
was found. SEM analysis has supported present findings by demonstrating well branched podocytes with
fenestrated foot processes arranged in parallel. Consequently, it is suggested that AEEFE has high potential to
reduce blood glucose level without histological changesin renal function system of diabetic patients
Low intensity white noise improves performance in auditory working memory task: An fMRI study
No full textResearch suggests that white noise may facilitate auditory working memory performance via stochastic resonance.
Stochastic resonance is quantified by plotting cognitive performance as a function of noise intensity. The plot
would appear as an inverted U-curve, that is, a moderate noise is beneficial for performance whereas too low and
too much noise attenuates performance. However, knowledge about the optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
needed for stochastic resonance to occur in the brain, particularly in the neural network of auditory working
memory, is limited and demand further investigation. In the present study, we extended previous works on the
impact of white noise on auditory working memory performance by including multiple background noise levels to
map out the inverted U-curve for the stochastic resonance. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),
twenty healthy young adults performed a word-based backward recall span task under four signal-to-noise ratio
conditions: 15, 10, 5, and 0-dB SNR. Group results show significant behavioral improvement and increased
activation in frontal cortices, primary auditory cortices, and anterior cingulate cortex in all noise conditions,
except at 0-dB SNR, which decreases activation and performance. When plotted as a function of signal-to-noise
ratio, behavioral and fMRI data exhibited a noise-benefit inverted U-shaped curve. Additionally, a significant
positive correlation was found between the activity of the right superior frontal gyrus (SFG) and performance in 5-
dB SNR. The predicted phenomenon of SR on auditory working memory performance is confirmed. Findings from
this study suggest that the optimal signal-to-noise ratio to enhance auditory working memory performance is
within 10 to 5-dB SNR and that the right SFG may be a strategic structure involved in enhancement of auditory
working memory performance
The relationship between vocabulary learning strategies and reading comprehension
No full textVocabulary learning strategies enhance reading comprehension, which is
considered as an essential part of English language learning as without grammar, very little
can be conveyed; Without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed. The literature of vocabulary
learning has highlighted the importance of using vocabulary learning strategies as they help
students in their English Learning process. However, few studies have been conducted to
offer more insights into the vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) used by EFL learners.
Hence, the researchers are concentrating on understanding the process of learning
vocabulary, making students self-sufficient in learning. Therefore, the present study
investigates the role of VLS in reading comprehension

Kepentingan maqasid shariʻah dalam keputusan muzakarah jawatankuasa fatwa majlis kebangsaan bagi hal ehwal ugama Islam Malaysia the importance of maqasid shariah in the muzakarah of the national fatwa council for Islamic religious affairs Malaysia
No full textSyariah Islam menjaga dan menjamin kepentingan atau maslahah manusia.
Namun begitu, maslahah manusia adalah berbeza-beza. Oleh kerana itu,
maqasid juga mempunyai peringkat dan bahagian yang berbeza-beza selaras
dengan maslahah manusia. Antara situasi yang dibahaskan dalam maqasid
ialah darurah. Darurah yang dialami dalam sesuatu tuntutan taklif akan memberi
kelonggaran bagi hukum ‘azimah. Ini bagi memastikan mukallaf tidak berada
dalam kesukaran untuk melaksanakan sesuatu tuntutan. Pertimbangan yang
dinilai dalam konteks darurah ialah maqasid shariʻah, khususnya dalam
penjagaan kulliyat al-khams iaitu agama, jiwa, keturunan, akal dan harta. Di
Malaysia, hukum semasa yang diputuskan atas ‘illat darurah akan dikaitkan
dengan fatwa kerana fatwa berperanan sebagai penjelas hukum semasa yang
berlaku. Justeru, kajian ini memfokuskan kepada maqasid syariʻah melalui elemen
kulliyat al-khams dalam fatwa yang berkaitan dengan darurah. Objektif yang digariskan ialah mengenalpasti keputusan-keputusan muzakarah yang
berkaitan dengan darurah dan seterusnya menganalisis elemen kulliyat al-khams
dalam keputusan-keputusan tersebut. Kajian yang berbentuk kualitatif ini
menggunakan metode penerokaan dengan kaedah pengumpulan data melalui
kajian perpustakaan. Data-data kemudiannya dianalisis dengan metode analisis
kandungan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa maqasid shariʻah diambilkira
sebagai salah satu pertimbangan dalam mengukur darurah yang dialami.
Daripada 31 keputusan muzakarah yang berkaitan dengan darurah, elemen
kulliyat al-khams dinyatakan dengan tepat mengikut kategori. Kajian ini
merumuskan bahawa maqasid shariʻah perlu dititikberatkan dalam pengeluaran
hukum semasa terutama yang melibatkan isu darurah. Darurah yang dialami
perlu dikenalpasti kesannya terhadap elemen kulliyat al-khams bagi memastikan
keputusan hukum selari dengan maqasid yang digariskan dalam syarak
The woman and political participation in the light of the holy Quran
No full textThe issue of the woman’s participation in the political action until today has become
one of the most controversial issues on the jurisprudential level and even on the
theoretical social level, taking into consideration that the woman is one of the basic
pivots in the process of social change and comprehensive development. Some have
tried to depriv the woman of her rights and to keep her in a stage without the Lord’s
honoring of her, which was bestowed upon her by Almighty God. Also others have
tried to uproot the Muslim woman from her Lord’s method out of going with the
Western woman. So this research came to contribute in drawing a road according to
which is completed the of building of a sound and healthy society which attains
the most sublime degrees of perfection with the participation of the woman in the
political action under the modern needs . In order to reform the nation we need a new
vision which suits our reality. This cannot be done unless we go beyond the narrow
concept of the woman’s participation in the political action to the comprehensive
concept. The research aims to indicate the position of Islam vis-à-vis the role of the
woman in the political action in the light of the Holy Quran and the impediments of
the effective political participation of the Muslim woman in our present age. The
researcher has used the descriptive methodology and the historical methodology in
her study. Among the most important results which were reached are that the Islamic
religion honored the Muslim woman and elevated her status and emphasized her
rights, and that the origin in Islam is the equality between the man and the woman ,
so there is neither distinction between the man and the woman and nor difference
between the two of them whether this is in the origin of their creation or the
religious law obligations. It is inevitable to empower the woman through her active
participation in the different domains specially the political domains, without a conflict
with her main role of taking care of the family and raising the generations within the
religious law controls which were emphasized by the Holy Quran
