ABSTRACT: This electronic book describes recent history and events that occurred in Sarawak, my homeland. The story began in 1841 when Sir James Brooke, a British soldier and adventurer became the first Rajah (king) of Sarawak. When he died in 1868, his nephew, Charles Brooke took over his position and became the second Rajah of Sarawak. Charles Brooke signed an agreement with a Chinese leader, Wong Nai Siong to recruit a total of 1118 Chinese immigrants to the city of Sibu, Sarawak. When Charles Brooke passed away in 1917, his youngest son, Vyner Brooke, took over his position as the Third (and last) Rajah of Sarawak. During the Japanese occupation (1941-1945) Vyner and his family were in Sydney. After the war, in 1946 he returned to Sarawak and ceded Sarawak to the British government as a colony. 1963, Sarawak joined the Federation of Malaysia and became a state of Malaysia. ....... ..

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LOCALLY MADE LEARNING RESOURCES ON LEARNERS’ ATTENTIVENESS AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Full text linkThis study described the level of effectiveness of locally-made learning resources, the level of learners' attentiveness, and learners' academic performance. This study aims to provide public schools and learning centers (teachers and learners) with diverse, quality, accessible, cost-effective, and appropriate learning resources to have effective and efficient learning outcomes. Descriptive and correlational methods with a questionnaire as a primary tool of data collection were used to find the effect of locally made learning resources on the attentiveness and academic performance of the learners. The descriptive method was utilized to measure the level of effectiveness of the locally made learning resources, the level of attentiveness, and the level of academic performance of the learners. The correlational method was used to determine whether or not there is a relationship between the level of effectiveness of locally made learning resources and level of attentiveness of the learners and academic performance of learners. The sample was taken from 3 junior high schools. A total of 279 learners were randomly selected from these school in proportion to its population. Spearman rank-order correlation was used to determine the relationship between the level of effectiveness of locally made learning resources and the level of learners' attentiveness. It was also used to determine the relationship between the level of effectiveness of locally made learning resources and the level of learners' academic performance. Computed rho values indicated that the effectiveness of locally-made learning resources highly and positively influences the level of attentiveness of learners and their academic performance

Analyse comparative du texte gréco-arabe du Hiératikon imprimé à Snagov en 1701
Full text linkImprimer en Valachie un livre dans une langue difficile comme l’arabe, avec un autre alphabet que l’alphabet grec ou cyrillique déjà utilisés dans la typographie de Snagov depuis 1695 et 1696) fut l’occasion pour Saint Anthime l'Ibérien de témoigner son profond attachement aux chrétiens arabes. De même, l’impression d’un tel livre constitua un grand défi et une certaine preuve de courage.
Sa sensibilité à l’égard des chrétiens arabes - dont il connaissait les difficultés à Jérusalem - motivait une telle démarche. Cette dernière n’aurait pu aboutir sans son talent d’artiste typographe capable de surmonter tous les obstacles techniques et linguistiques. Cette impulsion à la faveur d’une impression des livres pour les chrétiens arabophones, fut influencée certes, par la présence du patriarche d’Antioche Athanase Dabbas, en 1700, à la cour du prince Constantin Brancoveanu, et par la décision du prince qui releva le défi de financer ce projet complexe qui frôlait l’impossible.
Nous soulignons dès le début qu'Anthime a réussi d'imprimer deux livres bilingues, en grec et en arabe: un Hiératikon, en 1701, à Snagov, et un Horologion, en 1702, à Bucarest. Les deux livres ont été préfacés par le patriarche d’Antioche Athanase Dabbas
