Digital transformation of healthcare and medical education, within, and beyond pandemic COVID-19
Digital transformation during the pandemic COVID-19 has been impressive. Some
organizations have accelerated the adoption of new technology and digitalization as their
response to the pandemic COVID-19. The healthcare and medical education systems are also
not left behind in adapting to new digital solutions. Examples include e-health and virtual
consultations, management of big data and application of artificial intelligence, and the Internet
of Things. The response in education includes remote learning and using educational
technologies to empower medical graduate teaching. New ways of work using technologies
and digital solutions not only beneficial within the unprecedented crisis but shine a light
towards greater digital adoption beyond the pandemic COVID-19
Effect of pH on different strains of phytase producing bacteria from Malaysia’s hot spring
In the recent research, the optimisation of culture condition for phytase production rarely done for Acetinobacter
baumanii. The optimisation of the phytase production from the bacterial strains largely contributed by Bacillus sp.
The study on the phytase originated from hot spring are limited and the species that identified from the hot
spring samples are not in the same species from the previous study and mainly the species isolated from Bacillus
sp. In this study, four potential strains of bacteria producing phytase isolated from hot spring in several regions
in Malaysia. For enrichment of the bacterial, Nutrient Agar was used, meanwhile for batch culture optimisation,
the bacteria producing phytase grown in modified liquid Phytase Screening Media with soy extract as agro
residual substrate as a replacement for sodium phytate, the chemical substrate. The bacteria were screened for
their ability to produce clear zone in solid PSM with sodium phytate as substrate. Optimisation of media through
its physical factor that is pH of the media carried out using shake flask scale in laboratory. The growth of the
bacterial strains and phytase activity measured quantitatively through the two different pH of media at pH 5.5
and pH 7. The analysis of colony-forming unit and pH determination after fermentation was carried out in this
study. From the study, bacterial strain L3 from Labis, Johor has the highest phytase activity in the two
parameters studied where the inorganic phosphate released at pH 5.5 (0.21953 U/mL) and pH 7 (0.2047 U/mL).
Optimisation carried out through manipulating the culture condition that is pH of the media to determine at
which condition has the highest phytase production. Several effects on enzyme activity caused by culture
conditions identified. The optimisation of the fermentation medium able to contribute to the less cost
production of the industrial enzyme as phytase has potential production for feed additives for poultry feeding.
In the future research, molecular identification of the bacterial strains from the better-quality bacteria producing
phytase grown in optimised culture media to investigate the molecular identity of the bacterial
Retro-aortic left renal vein as an uncommon cause of left sided varicocele and haematuria
Retro-aortic left renal vein [RLRV] is a congenital anomaly characterised by a left renal vein passing posterior to
abdominal aorta. It has been suggested that RLRV may cause varicocele and haematuria. The urological
symptoms are probably due to the increased pressure in the left renal vein secondary to posterior nutcracker
phenomenon. The diagnosis of RLRV is usually radiological. We report a case of a 53-year old man who presented
with left scrotal swelling which was then confirmed to be varicocele by Doppler ultrasound. Two months later,
the patient had microscopic haematuria and computed tomography [CT] abdomen and pelvis scan was done. CT
showed presence of RLRV
Genetic diversity and differentiation of Aquilaria malaccensis Lam. Using RAPD markers
Aquilaria malaccensis Lam. (family Thymelaeaceae) commonly known as agarwood or gaharu
producing tree in Malaysia. The tree is being heavily exploited due to its highly valuable agar oil used in
the production of high grade perfumes and traditional medicines. Consequently, their population in
nature is threatened greatly. Conservation of this tree species is of the main concern, however,
identification of A. malaccensis from other Aquilaria sp. based on morphology is very difficult and time
consuming. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity among three selected Aquilaria sp.
namely A. malaccensis, A. sinensis (Lour.) Spreng. And A. subintegra Ding Hou using random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and to differentiate A. malaccensis from A. sinensis and A.
subintegra. Out of ten RAPD primers, four primers (G12, R15, U13 and OPA 05) produced the most
clear and reproducible bands. A total of 24 bands were scored from the four primers. Construction of
dendrogram resulted in two major clusters; cluster I consisted of only A. malaccensis accessions, and
cluster II consisted of A. subintegra and A. sinensis accessions. This indicates that A. subintegra is more
closely related to A. sinensis while A. malaccensis is genetically distant from both. Species-specific
bands for A. malaccensis were produced at 875, 1000 and 2500 bp by G12 primer, and at 2500 bp by
OPA 05 primer. This study laid the foundation for a creation of rapid and cost effective molecular
identification of A. malaccensis
النص القرآني بين إشكالية الفهم ودلالة النص
النص القرآني نص رباني مقدس، جاء لبيان مراد هللا من عباده، وكان النبي - صلى
هللا عليه وسلم- السبيل الوحيد لبيان ما استُشكل على المسلمين في فهم ألفاظه ومعانيه،
ثم رصيد لغوي أصيل يمتلكه المسلمون وقتئٍذ. بيد أن األمر أصبح عسرا، والطريق
إلى فهم مراد القرآن أصبحت غير ُمعبَّدةٍ على الرغم من أن هللا جعل القرآن ميسرا
للذكر. والسبب في هذا اإلعسار وفاة النبي - صلى هللا عليه وسلم- من جهة، ثم البون
الزمني الشاسع بين وقت نزول القرآن وبداية عصر التدوين الذي قارب قرنين من
الزمان تغيرت فيهما اللغة واتسعت مدلوالتها وبعدت غير قليل عن الفصحى المتمكنة.
وفي ظل هذا خرجت تفاسير كثيرة لبيان المعنى القرآني تنوعت بين اللغوي وما تفرع
عنه من اختالفات بين النحاة في اإلعراب وما يترتب عليه من معنى، والتأويلي وما
شابه من تعصب لمذهب سياسي أو ديني مما أضر بالمعنى القرآني وخفاء داللته على
العامة وكثير من أهل العلم. ولهذا؛كان هذا البحث الموسوم بـ" النص القرآني بين اللغة
والتأويل" نحاول فيه بيان هذه اإلشكالية متناولين إياها حسب المهج العلمي الصحيح،
وسأتعرض لبعض التفاسير التي اعتمدت على اللغة لبيان المعنى، واألخرى التي
اتخذت التأويل منهجا في ذلك
Consumer protection measures for umrah package travellers in Malaysia
As one of the major contributors to the Malaysian tourism industry, Umrah package travel has
been recognised. For their particular intent, Muslims in Malaysia travel by package to Mecca
and Medina for their specific purpose: to perform religious duty (Umrah) to fulfill the unity of
spirit, heart and soul. Recently, due to many issues including non-performance contract, poor
service, cancelled trip as well as fraudulent cases, the number of complaints submitted by the
Umrah package travelers increased tremendously. Due to that problem, Umrah package
travelers may suffer financial, emotional and spiritual loss. In order to protect the interests of
Umrah package travelers in Malaysia, it is therefore necessary to have a robust legal
framework. This study is therefore intended to investigate how the Malaysian legal system
safeguards the rights and interests of Umrah package travelers in Malaysia, in particular
through laws and regulations. The results of the above analysis will define the adequacy of the
existing legal framework and the mechanism that we still in need of protecting the welfare of
Umrah package travellers

The role of cybersecurity in addressing the rise on cybercrime activities
Innovations and technological advances have resulted in several web-based products. Among
them are social networking sites that are dominating internet usage among users. This article
discusses many types of cybercrime that are prevalent today, namely, hacking, cyber fraud,
spamming and cyber harassment. This article review was conducted as a systematic using
computer based electronic search to access all journals related for cyber crime by using Google
Scholar and Researchgate to collect the information for get the high impact on this article. The
objective of this article is to discuss about CyberSecurity is a service created by the Ministry of
Technology and Innovation of Malaysia that receives complaints from users who are victims of
cybercrime and then the body will make statistics based on complaints received. Malaysia use the
MyCERT service created by the Ministry of Science and Technology to receive any complaints
related to this cybercrime activity. Based on the statistic in MyCERT type of cybercrime like
fraud had the highest cases that have been recorded by MyCERT. Recorded by BruCERT from
2011 to 2015, with 61% of Malicious Software activities recording the highest percentage
compared to cyber harrasment, website, spam and scam. In addition, it was followed by cyber
harassment of 31%, website 5% and scam 3%. In this case, shows in Brunei also experience
similar criminal activity in Malaysia. The support and responsibility of certain parties and
societies play an important role in providing awareness and exposure to cybercrime. IT education
is also able to curb issues related to cybercrime as a precautionary measure for students and
adolescents to avoid becoming victims of cybercrime

This study aimed to build a conceptual framework by investigating the critical factors that impede the application
of e-learning in secondary schools in Nalut, Libya. The conceptual framework for this study was suggested by investigating
the obstacles and difficulties that hinder the use of e-learning in general and based on previous studies to build the
questionnaire for this study, this study was limited to the scientific section of government secondary schools in Nalut. The
field study was conducted during the first semester of the academic year 2018-2019. Barriers that may constitute difficulties
in employing e-learning using a quantitative approach have been studied using a questionnaire consisting of four areas
(individual difficulties, context difficulties, technology difficulties, difficulties with the chemistry approach), and based on
the results of the correlative and influential study of the questionnaire for the random sample that reached (724) among
which are teachers, supervisors and students from the Libyan high schools Nalut Libyan, the conceptual framework for the
study community was built, through descriptive analysis using statistical analysis spss version (21.0) to identify the degree
of difficulties of e-learning in teaching chemistry, and on laboratories To link Pearson Pearson Test to identify the degree of
correlation between all the difficulties as well as the study used regression analysis Multiple Multiple Regression Analysis to
identify the impact strength of difficulties. The study, which was derived from the analysis of the survey data, found a
correlation between the difficulties of (contexts, technology and curriculum) and individual difficulties, and the presence of
an influence correlation between the difficulties of each (contexts, technology and curriculum) and individual difficulties.
The proposed conceptual framework for this study contributes to knowing the obstacles of e-learning by creating a guide
for educational institutions and governments in order to develop and implement better, and it works as a tool to avoid the
failure of implementing new e-learning projects through planning that meets the attitudes and tendencies of individuals
towards the effective use of e-learning and as a method of evaluating the effectiveness of projects Current e-learning
Comprehension strategies of literary texts used by university of Jordan literature students
Reading plays a significant role in our daily lives. Literary readers build their
worlds and expand their imagination with deviating from the literal words to
create images that make sense to them in the unfamiliar places the texts
describe. This study examined the most useable strategies among English
language and literature students at the University of Jordan as well as whether
there are significant differences between males and females in this regard.
Methodology: This study employed both descriptive and quantitative
approaches to collect data. The sample was selected using simple random
sampling. The sample of the study was 120 EFL bachelor students divided into
60 males and 60 females from UJ. SPSS program was used in the data analysis.
The research instrument was a questionnaire designed by the researcher in
accordance with the study questions. SPSS social package was used to treat the
collected data through multiple regression, T-test, and descriptive analyses.
Result: The data analysis showed that the most usable strategies were personal
growth model, cooperative learning, intensive reading, illustration, cultural
model, but that doesn’t mean those are the most effective on the reading ability
of literary texts. It also indicated that there are only significant differences in
the use of the cultural model and the personal growth model but there aren't
any significant differences in the usage of the other mentioned strategies.
Conclusion: It is recommended that the decision-makers should pay more
attention to the literary texts that are provided to the university students while
deciding the bachelor's syllabus. So that they should organize literary texts in
combination with the most effective reading strategies. To help them to get rid
of the expected difficulties of comprehending such texts. This study contributes
to supply the future bachelor syllabuses planning of English language and
literature department at the University of Jordan and other universities around
