Utilisation and perception of complementary alternative therapies among pregnant lady in Terengganu: a pilot of preliminary study
No full textComplementary and alternative therapies were termed as a group of various medical and
healthcare practices and products that are not currently considered to be part of conventional
therapy. There were increasing demands of complementary and alternative therapies worldwide
for different type of purposes. With the aim of identifying the general existing trend in the
utilization and perception of complementary and alternative therapies (CATs) among pregnant
women in Terengganu, this cross-sectional study used structured questionnaires consist of sociodemographic characteristics, utilisation and perception of complementary alternative therapies
(UPCATS) that was modified according to the study and pilot tested among healthy pregnant
women, who were recruited from two selected health clinics in Terengganu. A total of 18
pregnant women aged 22-38 years completed the survey. Majority of them utilised CATs in their
third trimester (83.3%, n=15). Among the participants, 77.8% (n=14) used CATs to prevent illness
or reduce pain (n=12, 66.7%) and also for supplementation (n=6, 32.3%). Half of the participants
obtained information regarding CATs from nurses. They were unlikely to surf to information of
CATs from web (n=3, 16.7%). In conclusion, pregnant women in Terengganu used CATs as one of
the alternative treatment for various reasons. Majority of pregnant women used CATs after
consulting with their health care provider
Remote teaching in medical education during COVID-19: successful story from Terengganu
No full textIntroduction: The best books for medical students are their patients at the bedside. However, COVID-19 pandemic already
changed the educational landscape from traditional methods to the virtual classroom. Movement control order (MCO) has
made teaching and learning in the hospital, clinical skills laboratory, and tutorial suspended.
Methodology: We at Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, conducted novel remote teaching methods such
as webinars and Moodle learning management systems (LMS) were used to replace traditional medical teaching during
the COVID-19 pandemic. We organized webinars for certain topics including anesthesiology and family medicine. These
were viewed via WebEx and included medical topics and clinical scenario discussions. Medical webinars were recorded and
uploaded to the WhatsApp group. Notes and clinical scenario discussions were uploaded in Moodle LMS, Knowledge, and
E-learning Integrated Platform (KeLIP) UniSZA.
Results: 32 webinars were organized by us with 448 attendees in total. 12 webinars were uploaded to the WhatsApp group,
12 lecture notes, and 28 clinical scenario discussions were uploaded to KeLIP, a Moodle LMS. 100% of students said they
have a chance to ask, 7% had better interaction with lecturers, and 14% had equal quality interaction compare with physical
classes. 70% of students prefer physical classes when involving clinical skills.
Conclusion: Remote teaching is useful for teaching theory; attendees can watch anywhere, easily recorded for later viewing,
no room bookings, and no need for social distancing. However, the main disadvantage of note for airway and anesthetics
skills is the inability to obtain hands-on practice. We feel virtual teaching provides continuing teaching and learning during a
pandemic crisis

No full textTelekesihatan: Perspektif peluang dan cabaran dalam pengurusan pandemik
No full textPandemik penyakit novel coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) telah mengubah landskap sistem ekonomi,
sosial dan pengurusan kesihatan. Ketika krisis wabak ini mengundang cabaran besar dalam
pengurusan kesihatan, namun timbul evolusi dan trend dalam menguruskan kesihatan melalui
telekesihatan. Telekesihatan merujuk kepada perkhidmatan konsultansi kesihatan dalam talian
yang menghubungkan pesakit dengan pengamal perubatan melalui jarak jauh, tanpa sentuhan
antara pesakit dan pengamal perubatan. Ianya boleh dicapai samada melalui segerakkan; telefon
dan video, atau tidak segerak; e-konsultansi dan portal mesej, dan juga melalui agen maya;
chatbot. Kami telah mengambil contoh pelbagai model daripada pelbagai organisasi termasuk
organisasi kami, dan bagaimana telekesihatan memainkan peranan dalam pengurusan kesihatan
ketika musim pandemik COVID-19. Ini termasuklah fasa perawatan luar, dalam hospital dan
rawatan susulan. Dalam setiap model ini kami akan teliti bagaimana proses teknologi ini bergerak
seiring dalam memastikan telekesihatan ini berjaya dilaksanakan. Namun begitu dari satu sudut,
dijangkakan lebih ramai pengamal perubatan muda akan secara tidak disangka akan dieksploit
melalui model telekesihatan yang dikomersialkan secara melampau dan tidak terkawal.
Walaupun kita bersedia ataupun belum dengan telekesihatan, namun secara realitinya,
telekesihatan bakal menjadi trend dan evolusi baru, bukan sahaja ketika pengurusan pandemik,
malah selepas pasca COVID-19
COVID 19 dan ancaman siber semasa bekerja dari rumah – Permasalahan dan perlindungan menurut undang-undang di Malaysia
No full textPeningkatan ketara kes positif jangkitan Penyakit Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) di Malaysia telah
menyebabkan pihak kerajaan melaksanakan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) di seluruh
negara bermula 18 Mac 2020. Pelaksanaan PKP yang bersandarkan kepada Akta Pencegahan
dan Pengawalan Penyakit Berjangkit 1988 membolehkan pihak berkuasa mengambil beberapa
pendekatan yang drastik bagi membendung penularan pandemik ini termasuklah penutupan
semua premis kerajaan dan swasta kecuali yang terlibat dengan perkhidmatan penting negara.
Implikasi langsung daripada langkah ini ialah pengenalan polisi bekerja dari rumah bagi pekerja
yang tidak terlibat dalam perkhidmatan penting negara. Akan tetapi, amalan bekerja dari rumah
yang banyak bergantung kepada penggunaan teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi (ICT) serta
akses Internet telah mendedahkan pekerja dan majikan kepada ancaman serangan siber seperti
penyebaran perisian hasad (malware), penafian perkhidmatan (DOS / DDOS attack), penipuan
dalam talian, kebocoran data peribadi dan maklumat sensitif serta pelbagai lagi. Hal ini mungkin
terjadi menerusi penggunaan peranti atau perisian yang tidak selamat yang membuka peluang
kepada penjenayah untuk melakukan penggodaman atau serangan siber. Perkara ini perlu
diambil serius kerana pihak CyberSecurity Malaysia telah merekodkan peningkatan kes ancaman
siber sebanyak 82.5% dalam tempoh PKP berlangsung berbanding tempoh yang sama pada
tahun lalu. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kes serangan siber yang paling banyak
direkodkan oleh CyberSecurity Malaysia semasa tempoh pelaksanaan PKP dan menganalisa
undang-undang yang sedia ada di Malaysia bagi melindungi pekerja dan majikan yang terdedah
kepada jenayah siber semasa bekerja dari rumah. Kajian ini adalah suatu kajian kualitatif dengan
menggunakan kaedah analisa doktrin undang-undang bagi mengkaji sumber primer yang
merangkumi statut yang relevan seperti Akta Jenayah Komputer 1997 dan Akta Perlindungan
Data Peribadi 2010 serta kes-kes duluan yang telah diputuskan oleh mahkamah. Di samping itu,
kajian ini juga merujuk kepada sumber sekunder seperti buku, artikel ilmiah, prosiding seminar,
laporan akhbar dan maklumat-maklumat berkaitan yang boleh didapati di Internet
Mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between HRM practices, psychological empowerment, affective commitment and employee competence: the development of conceptual framework
No full textDengue innovation: a sustainability approach for preventing and controlling of dengue diseases outbreaks via IoT technology
No full textDengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that is surging and becomes worldwide serious issues. Currently, due to lack
of specific treatment or vaccine against dengue, many forms of vector control remains a key strategy for dengue fever
prevention. In response to the issue, this paper introduces an AedesTech Mosquitoes Home System (AMHS) that is
equipped with a special trade secret formulation or also called as Insecticide Growth Regulator (IGR) and combines
with Internet of Things (IoT) technology for vector control. An IGR is a pheromone-like liquid formulation that is a
chemical that serves to stimulate and have sexually attract the male and female that will attract and lure adult female
mosquitoes to lay eggs in them, and the adult mosquitoes will soon die after lying eggs. Those eggs that already laid
with the chemical will not hatch or die at an expected of % rate, or go beyond the pulp level. Our sustainable
approach offers for two (2) novel features. First, to monitor the collection of Aedes eggs in our MHS, we develop a
mobile apps called AedesTech Apps (ATA) for Aedes eggs auto-counting and data collection are stored in cloud based
server. Second, to monitor the level of liquid formulation (IGR) in AMHS, we utilize an Arduino water based sensor to
real time track the IGR level status and we called as Intelligent Mosquito Home System (iMHS). Our iMHS will
automatically alert the user when refill is needed. Both technologies are related to IR . that could be a new approach
for preventing and monitoring of dengue outbreaks. This sustainability approach are environmental friendly and cost
saving that provide the solution to the world's global issue of dengue. The results by our ATA tool indicate a
satisfactory figure with only . to . percent of error rate compared to existing ICount and EggCounter tools.
Meanwhile in our iMHS with water based sensor, testing results reveal that the battery lifetime solely depends upon
the setting of interval time of sending data to cloud server. Results show for a half an hour interval, battery could last
for a half of a month whereas for an hour interval time set, it could last for a month
Pemupukan jati diri melayu melalui kokurikulum kelas seni khat dalam kalangan mahasiswa di UniSZA
No full textPembelajaran berlaku semenjak awal lahir, pendidikan Islam merupakan proses untuk mendidik
akal, jasmani dan roh manusia berasaskan nilai-nilai insaniah yang bersumberkan al-Quran
dan al-Hadith, bagi melahirkan manusia yang bertakwa. Pendidikan Islam melatih perasaan
halus pelajar supaya sikap, tindakan dan keputusan mereka ditadbir oleh nilai-nilai kerohanian
dan etika Islam (Abdullah Jusuh, 1990). Salah satu usaha bagi memperkasakan jati diri Melayu
di Malaysia adalah memugarkan kembali tulisan Jawi berdasarkan seni khat. Justeru kertas kerja
berusaha mendeskripsikan aktiviti pelajar seramai 30 orang pelajar yang terlibat dalam kelas seni
khat bagi sesi 2019. Kajian ini bersifat fenomonologi iaitu memerhatikan gerak kerja pelajar dalam
aktiviti penulisan khat. Kajian mendapati kebanyakan mahasiswa masih boleh menulis Jawi
sekalipun pada tahap yang minima. Pembelajaran melibatkan empat (4) jenis khat iaitu Khat Khufi,
Khat Riqah, Khat Nasakh dan Khat Thulus. Walaubagaimanapun penguasaan mereka dalam seni
khat adalah kurang memberangsangkan termasuk seni khat yang paling mudah iaitu khat khufi.
Namun sebagai pendidik yang ingin melihat tulisan jawi dan arab harus diperjuangkan, maka
usaha kearah membina jati diri haruslah diteruskan. Di harapkan pembentangan ini mampu
menyuntik kembali nilai karamah jati diri Melayu melalui pembudayaan penulisan khat Jawi
Sugars from sago frond as prebiotic substrate to enhance the growth of Lactococcus lactis IO-1 and production of L-lactic acid
No full textSago palm is often discredited for exhibiting long maturity period and barrenness of pre-harvest products, which
restrain its potentials as an alternative and eternal starch provider. The use of sago fronds to produce prebiotic and
fermentable sugars from pruned palms and fronds discarded upon harvesting is a possible enterprise to provide
income for the cash-strapped sago farmers while waiting for the sago trunks to be harvestable. Dried sago frond
powder coupled with the cellulolytic enzyme and incubated for 48 hours, producing a maximum recovery of cellobiose
at 25%. This is of great advantage in reducing the cost of large-scale processes since the yield and productivity from
SFS is comparable to the Standard Medium and SFS amended with yeast extract at 0.85g/g and 85%, respectively.
Meanwhile, the composition of cellobiose as main sugar component increase the viability of the Lactococcus lactis I0-1
by prolong the lifespan of the cell by perform as slow release carbon source, in fact, cellobiose was protected by β (1-4)
glycosidic bond made it consumable to specific probiotic in human digestive system conceive that cellobiose as
potential prebiotic component for human. Clearly, the use of sago frond is highly economical and sustainable as the
raw material for the manufacturing of fermentable sugars and subsequently as the sustainable substrate for largescale production of L-lactic acid
