Ultrasound Scanning as a Technique in Pregnancy Diagnosis of Saanen Breed at UniSZA Dairy Goat Farm
No full textUltrasonography is not only commonly used in human but also is a useful tool for diagnosis of pregnancy in
livestock species, including goats. It was improved with the advent of real-time B-mode (brightness mode)
imaging. This tool was used more frequently in sheep compared with goats. The present study was conducted to
use B-mode transabdominal probes development of goat pregnancy scanning protocol in UniSZA Dairy Goat
Farm (UDGF). Ultra-structure images at different stages of pregnancy and the earliest possible diagnosis of
pregnant does were determined. The results of this study showed the following structures: embryonic sacs (days
28-48), foetal (days 28-52), foetal head (days 56-144) and placentome (days 40-146). Single and twin foetuses
were differentiated after 56 days of estimated pregnancy. The efficacy of this project was determined based on
the frequency of occurrence of the ultra-structures that have been observed. Ultra-structures detected by
ultrasound scanner have been identified as indicators for foetal twinning and as a predictor to differentiate stages
of pregnancy. In a nutshell, the data of ultra-structures were analysed by percentages of whole stages of
pregnancy to detect early pregnancy, twinning of foetus as well as detection of pregnancy. The outcomes of this
research will be the fundamental scientific information that could be applied practically as an integrated
component of goat management practices in the dairy goat industry for income generation and small farmers in
the rural areas for their wellbeing and livelihood as well as for food security and safety of this country

Fast Food Consumption Behavior among University Students.
No full textThis paper reports on the study that addressed the
issue of ultimate fast food consumption behavior among students
of Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA). Fast food intake is
a common tendency nowadays as its popularity has becoming a
thing among Malaysians. Many fast food restaurant chainshave
grown rapidly following the high demand from the society in
fulfilling the need for today's community lifestyle. A total of
three hundred and twenty respondents are involved in this study.
This study uses descriptive analysis to determine fast food
consumption behavior of the respondents and the findings
showed that the majority of respondents who consumed fast food
are 77.5% female students compared to 22.5% male students.
The behavior of fast food ingestion is also influenced by a
moderate price factor for about 72%. This suggests that 93% of
the respondents are very fond of eating fast food. Additionally,
there are only 5% of the respondents who bothered to check the
nutrition labels before purchasing fast food. The results also
illustrate that the majority of respondents, rated as high as 99%,
often consume fast food as frequent as 1-5 times a week
The Principle of Force Majeure in Shariah: A Special Reference to Saudi Contract Law
No full textThe principle of force majeure is mainly used in commercial and business contracts.
According to Loweel (2008), the traditional rationale for force majeure clauses
involved unanticipated events and impossibility of performance whilst the more
recent practice has been to use force majeure provisions as a broader risk allocation
tool. In Shari’ah, impossibility of performance due to changed circumstances is
known as, Istihalah al-tanfidh. The principle of Quwa Qahira or Quwat al-Qanun is
also observed to be broader than the English doctrine of frustration. It covers both
supervening impossibility and circumstances where the performance has become
substantially different to that initially agreed, resulting in the alteration of the rights
and also the responsibilities under the contract. Special reference also be made to
Saudi where in Saudi contract law, a force majeure event does not terminate the
contract but merely suspends its applicability until performance becomes possible
again. The authors in this paper applied doctrinal analysis as the research
methodology of the topic
Sustainable Tourism: The Moderating Effect of Tourists’ Educational Background in the Relationship Between Green Practices and Customer Satisfaction
No full textThe tourism industry is one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors in the world and has contributed to world economic
growth. Since the tourism industry is among those directly related to the environment, green tourism has an important role in the
environment management system, especially practices that have the ability to reduce negative impacts onto the environment. Green
initiatives are considered part of the programs adopted in many parts of the tourism sector. This article examines the influence of green
practices and a green image towards customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. To test the theoretical framework, some 385 data were
analysed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results revealed that green practices have stronger effects on customer satisfaction
compared to a green image. The moderation test indicated that tourists’ educational background moderates the relationship between
green practices and customer satisfaction, where the effect among tourists with a high education level is higher compared to those with a
low education level. Further analysis showed that green practices and a green image lead to customer loyalty indirectly through customer
satisfaction. The results present many implications towards theory and practice as far as the tourism industry is concerned

No full textStudi ini tentang tentang peranan dan kontribusi lembaga swadaya masyarakat dalam agenda pemberantasan korupsi di kota Tanjungpinang. Kehadiran lembaga swadaya masyarakat merupakan suatu keinginan masyarakat agar turut serta di dalam mengawal proses pembangunan di daerah khususnya. Masyarakat mulai kritis dalam menyuarakan kepentingannya dalam menampilkan wacana tanding terhadap segala macam kebijakan Negara. Pertumbuhan LSM di dalam Negara transisi demokrasi seperti Indonesia memang diperlukan agar proses pembangunan bisa dikawal dan di control sehingga bisa meminimalisasikan terjadinya korupsi didalam setiap pembangunan.

Kemudian menganalisa dimensi ekonomi politik kasus korupsi yang di advokasi oleh LSM di Kota Tanjungpinang. Hasil penelitian ini Tidak semua LSM di Kepulauan Riau khususnya yang bergerak di bidang anti korupsi benar-benar menjalankan fungsinya dalam memberantas korupsi. Peran dan Kontribusi LSM di Kepulauan Riau dalam memberantas korupsi masih minim, karena masih banyak pihak-pihak yang menunggangi LSM tersebut. Dari hasil tersebut juga membantah teori yang mengatakan LSM telah berperan penting dalam memberantas korupsi oleh penelitian sebelumnya

No full textThe aim of the study is to find out the effect of smartphone on marketing therapeutic tourist sites in Jordan. Several factors contribute to
this study, including market type templates, therapeutic, demographic and their impact on tourist behavior in Jordan. We apply the technology
acceptance (TAM) model to study through the incorporation of smartphone applications on marketing therapeutic tourist sites in
Jordan. To achieve this, we use the quantitative research design and rely on appropriate data to test the hypothesis. We distributed questionnaire
to 400 tourists as a sample of study but two hundred and four were collected. The researchers had used the structural equation
modeling (PLS-SEM) for measuring relationships and correlations between variables and their impact on the behavior of tourists in Jordan.
According to the study findings, there was a positive impact on market type template, therapeutic, and demographics on tourists'
perceived ease of use of smartphone on marketing therapeutic tourist sites in the country. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use
also led to an increase in tourists' intention to use smartphone
Workplace Accidents And Underreporting Among The Oil Palm Workers: A Pilot Study
No full textThe study examines the socio-demographic profile and the workplace accident as well as accident
underreporting among the oil palm workers. Data was gathered using self-administered questionnaires from 100 oil palm
workers who work as fresh fruit harvesters in the FELDA oil palm plantations located in the east coast of Peninsular
Malaysia. Findings revealed that the workers are mostly men, aged between 25 and 35 years old, married with more than one
dependent, and have an at least a secondary school education. The prevalence of workplace accidents among the workers was
9.46%, but the underreporting was 39.27%. In general, the findings indicate that the rate of workplace accidents among the
FELDA oil palm workers were relatively low but the underreporting was at an alarming rate. Interventions to improve the
safety and health reporting among the workers are crucial to reduce this issue, hence a further study to identify the predictors
for the safety and health reporting is recommended
