Anaemia- related knowledge amongst pregnant women in Kuala Terengganu
No full textThe prevalence of anaemia amongst pregnant women in developing countries is increasing yearly, particularly
in Malaysia. This problem may be due to their lack of knowledge of anaemia and food choice. This study aimed
to measure the knowledge levels on anaemia and iron absorption amongst pregnant women in Kuala Terengganu,
as well as the association of knowledge levels between socio-demographic characteristics. Pregnant women were
selected from government health clinics located in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. A total of 71 pregnant women
aged between 18 and 44 years participated in the study. They self-administered the socio-demographic form and
the knowledge questionnaire. Overall, they had moderate knowledge level with mean score of 57.41 ± 4.80. A
significant association was found between knowledge level and monthly household income (p<0.05).
Meanwhile, no significant association was found between knowledge level with socio-demographic
characteristics (age, gravida, occupation, husband’s occupation, and education level) (p>0.05). This study
provided an early insight into knowledge of anaemia amongst pregnant women in Kuala Terengganu.
Educational intervention should be implemented to increase and improve pregnant women’s knowledge of
anaemia and iron absorption
تقنيات الزمن السردي وتمثلاتها في طليعة كتب الأدب العباسي
No full textLiterature of its two kinds reached, during the Abbasid era, to the peak of goodness and
splendor, whereby the mingling of Arabs with non-Arabs had its far-reaching impacts in
refining the ideas and imagination, the maturity of culture, and improving the types of speech;
poetry and prose. The narrative discourse took its best chance when the literary arts
diversified in that era, and the narration should not be without a time in which events are
narrated and characters revolve in its orbit. Hence this study came to shed light on narrative
era as the element that combines all the narrative elements, and to show the techniques and
time paradoxes that create thrill, in addition to taking samples from the early books of
narration, such as "Fun and Familiarity”, “The Animal”, “The Statement and Clarification”,

Preservation of identity among Siamese community and its effects towards racial integration
No full textDiverse society with regards to ethnic composition has made Malaysia a unique country with
varied cultures inherited and practiced by different ethnics regardless of the majority and minority. Each ethnic
respected one another and accepted their diverse cultures. Ethnic integration is well preserved though every
ethnic posessess and practices their own unique cultures respectively as shown in a remote Malay village in
Besut Terengganu occupied by a population of Siamese minority. In a study conducted in Kampung Keluang
Besut Terengganu, researchers observed the preservation of identity among the Siamese ethnic minority in the
village and its effects towards racial integration. The study applied two main methods namely joint observations
and thematic interviews with a number of selected respondents among the residents and village committees.
Findings showed that the Siamese in Kampung Keluang still maintains their cultural identity and racial
integration between Siamese and the locals was not affected by their cultural practices. Researchers found that
the key factors to the sustenance of racial integration are the acceptance of the Malays driven by the role of the
older generation, the retention on the use of Siamese language, and traditional practices and customs held by the
Siamese in Kampung Keluang. This study, therefore, serves as a documentation and an evidence that cultural
differences and ethnic identities are not a barrier for plural societies to live together harmoniously. Indeed, racial
integration in Malaysia preserved without cleansing the identity of any ethnics
Implementasi fiqh aghlabiyyah dan kepentingannya dalam masyarakat majmuk di Malaysia
No full textFiqh Aqalliyat (minoriti) adalah salah satu pendekatan fiqh terkini yang dikemukakan dalam menangani
isu-isu minoriti Muslim. Ia merujuk kepada keperluan realiti masyarakat minoriti Muslim untuk
berinteraksi dengan masyarakat majoriti non Muslim di sesebuah negara secara harmoni. Malangnya
dalam beberapa keadaan pendekatan ini cuba digeneralisasikan pelaksanaannya di negara bermajoriti
Muslim. Hal ini adalah tidak sesuai dengan perkiraan kesetempatan hukum dan perkiraan aspek
demografi dalam fiqh kenegaraan Islam. Justeru kertas ini cuba membuat tinjauan awal terhadap
gagasan Fiqh Aghlabiyyah dan kepentingannya dalam konteks negara majmuk seperti di Malaysia.
Kajian berbentuk kualitatif ini akan melibatkan kajian dokumentasi sepenuhnya. Fakta-fakta akan
dianalisis secara kritis melalui kaedah induktif, deduktif, dan historikal demi mencetuskan idea, konsep
terasas dan kepentingan Fiqh Aghlabiyyah. Kajian mendapati Fiqh Aghlabiyyah ini adalah satu bentuk
kerangka pemikiran fiqh yang perlu digagaskan dalam konteks negara berpenduduk majoriti Muslim
masa kini dalam menguruskan sesebuah negara majmuk. Asasnya boleh dikesan dalam lipatan sirah
nabawiyah, perbahasan ilmu Usul Fiqh serta Fiqh Kenegaraan Islam. Implementasi konsep Fiqh
Aghlabiyyah ini, dilihat mampu memandu pihak kerajaan, para pemimpin, badan fatwa dan pihak
berkuasa agama dalam usaha mengekalkan serta mengukuhkan kestabilan, integrasi nasional dan
perpaduan kaum, keadilan dan risalah Islam sesebuah negara yang penduduknya adalah majoriti
Muslim

Penilaian analisis keperluan kepada penggunaan bahasa isyarat bagi orang kurang upaya (OKU) kategori masalah pendengaran
No full textBahasa isyarat menjadi bahasa komunikasi utama Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) kategori kurang pendengaran
bagi berurusan dengan manusia normal. Walaupun ramai manusia normal ingin berkomunikasi dengan OKU
kurang pendengaran, namun disebabkan kurang kemahiran dalam berbahasa isyarat menyukarkan mereka
untuk berkongsi maklumat diantara satu sama lain. OKU kurang pendengaran perlu membuat temu janji
terlebih dahulu dengan Jurubahasa Isyarat (JBI) apabila ingin menggunakan perkhidmatan penterjemah.
Jika di sektor pejabat awam pula, kebiasannya amat sukar bagi golongan ini untuk berkomunikasi,
apatah lagi apabila melibatkan urusan rasmi dan kebajikan. Di luar negara, urusan seperti pentadbiran,
keagamaan dan papan tanda di jalan raya telah mengadaptasi bahasa isyarat untuk memudahkan OKU
kurang pendengaran. Justeru itu, kajian awal ini akan mengenalpasti tahap keperluan dan penggunaan
bahasa isyarat di Terengganu agar permasaalahan OKU kurang pendengaran dapat diatasi. Kaedah
analisis regrasi digunakan bagi mengetahui kekuatan hubungan diantara keperluan dengan penggunaan
di dalam kajian ini. Seramai sembilan belas responden yang terdiri daripada ahli Persatuan Orang Pekak
Terengganu (POPT) telah dipilih bagi menguji instrument kajian. Hasil kajian menunjukkan, hubungan
dari kedua-dua pembolehubah iaitu keperluan dengan penggunaan adalah signifikan dengan nilai R²
0.624 (62.4%). Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang positif diantara keperluan dengan
penggunaan bahasa isyarat bagi kalangan OKU kurang pendengaran. Kesimpulannya, hasil kajian ini
boleh dijadikan rujukan utama bagi pihak berkepentingan dalam mengaplikasikan dan mempertingkatkan
lagi keperluan dan penggunaan bahasa isyarat, agar ianya bukan sahaja diketahui oleh golongan OKU
kurang pendengaran tetapi juga manusia normal. Hal ini penting bagi memudahkan komunikasi OKU
dalam melengkapkan kefungsian sosial mereka

Developing strategic reading skills among university students of Arabic as a foreign language in Malaysia
No full textMany learners of Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL) in Malaysia lack the necessary skills and strategies to comprehend Arabic texts. It is
important, thus, for Malaysian AFL learners to know how to read skilfully and to be able to deal with an Arabic text independently. Therefore, this study
aims to explore the Malaysian AFL learners‘ major problems in reading Arabic texts and determine the appropriate set of design principles for effective
strategic reading. The study employed a qualitative approach in which semi-structured interviews were conducted. The problems of AFL learners in
reading were examined from a teaching perspective. The interview participants consist of a purposively selected sample of five Arabic language experts
from the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The study found that the AFL learners‘ approach towards Arabic reading is similar to those
described in the previous studies as poor comprehension and lack of reading skills. Based on these findings, design principles for effective strategic
reading were developed. These design principles represent a significant contribution to the development of Arabic reading, particularly in the Malaysian
context
