Identifying talent in sepak takraw via anthropometry indexes
No full textThis chapter evaluates the importance of different anthropometric indexes towards the categorisation of the ability of sepak takraw players. To discriminate between high-performance players (HPP), medium performance players (MPP) and low performance players (LPP), the Louvain clustering algorithm was employed. Different SVM models were also
developed by varying the hyperparameters of the models. It is evident from the present investigation that
anthropometric indexes, particularly standing height, sitting height, leg length, waist circumference, thigh
circumference, calf circumference and four-site skinfold measurements evaluated do affect performance in sepak
takraw players. It was also demonstrated that the best polynomial-based SVM architecture is capable of discriminating the players with an average classification accuracy of 96% on the validation and test dataset. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020
Audit Committee Effectiveness And Sustainability Disclosure Of FTSE4GOOD Bursa Malaysia Indexed Companies
No full textThis study examines the relationship between the audit committee’s attributes and
sustainability disclosure of companies listed in FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index (FTSE4G).
The index consists of top 200 Malaysian stocks in the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Index,
screened in accordance with the transparent and defined environmental, social and governance
criteria, that designed to identify Malaysian companies with recognised corporate
responsibility practices. Using the resource dependency theory, the study provides empirical
evidence on the significant contributions of audit committee’s 1) independence, 2) gender
diversity, and 3) diligence, towards the level of sustainability disclosure in eighteen (18)
FTSE4G companies. The results reveal that audit committee’s independence and diligence have
significant and positive impact on the level of sustainability disclosure, while audit committee’s
gender diversity, has no impact. Insights gained from the study are useful for industrial
practitioners and scholars of related fields

Virtual learning and education during COVID-19 pandemic: a single institution experience
No full textBackground
The best books for medical students are their patients in the bedside. However COVID-19 pandemic already changed the
educational landscape from traditional methods to the virtual classroom. Movement control order (MCO) have made teaching and
learning in the hospital, clinical skills laboratory and tutorial suspended. So at Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin,
novel virtual teaching using synchronous and asynchronous methods such as webinars and Moodle learning management system
(LMS) were used to replace traditional medical teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods
We organized webinars on relevant topics. These were viewed via Webex and included medical topics and clinical scenario
discussions. Medical webinars were recorded and uploaded to Telegram group. To promote student engagement, notes, short
videos on clinical procedures and clinical scenario discussions were uploaded in Moodle LMS, Knowledge and E-learning Integrated
Platform (KeLIP) UniSZA.
Results
32 webinars were organized by Anaesthesiology Department with 448 attendees total. 12 webinars were uploaded to Telegram
group, 12 lecture notes and 28 clinical scenario discussions were uploaded to KeLIP, a Moodle LMS. The students, based on
quantitative and qualitative feedback, appreciated the online platform. Majority of the students stated that they were given the
opportunity to ask question and able to interact with the lecturer. The advantages; attendees can watch anywhere, easily recorded
for later viewing, no room bookings and no need for social distancing. While appreciate the platform, nearly 50% of the students
still believed that physical classroom was better than virtual classroom. Among disadvantages; difficult to teach practical skills,
confidentiality concerns with recognizable case details for clinical base discussions, security concerns with hijacking and attendance
verification difficult if attendee webcams.
Conclusions
We received great feedback for all webinars and Moodle learning management system. Virtual teaching is useful for teaching
theory. However the main disadvantage of note for airway and anaesthetics skill is inability to obtain hands-on practice. We feel
virtual teaching provides flexibility, continuing teaching and learning during pandemic crisis
Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation in elderly patient with advance knee degeneration: a successful report in Terengganu
No full textGenicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA) has been increasingly used in elderly patients with chronic knee pain who
failed other medical or surgical intervention. Here we reported a case of elderly patient who received a GNRFA with excellent
pain relief and functional outcome of quality of life. A 72-year-old male diagnosed with bilateral knee osteoarthritis since 10 years
ago presented with recurrent bilateral knee pain. Orthopaedic recommended pain management and activity modification and
was selected as a candidate for total knee replacement. However patient not keen for surgery. The first GNRFA was performed on
March 2019 which provided 10 months of complete pain relief. Second GNRFA was performed on January 2020 which provided
immediate 80% pain relief. Patient stopped taking NSAIDS since the first ablation and did not have any sensory or motor deficit
related to the radiofrequency ablation. He also satisfied with the quality of life and returned to normal routine activities. This case
illustrated that genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation offer a valuable treatment option for population who not keen for surgery
or candidate with high cardiac risk who not suitable for surgery. Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation provide effective analgesia
and free oral medication and this is one modality to achieve for opioid free
