Kampong, land and its capacity towards subsistence living
No full textKampong is a land that compound by conclusive territory and accommodating people\u27s lives and well-being. As there is anecdotal evidence that people are returning to reoccupying houses and working with the landthis study investigates the land and its capacity for these returnees. The main intention is to identify apparent evidence that land in kampong is accessible and available to be reutilized again. The study presents descriptive information about the attended, productive, and unattended land through site observation and fieldwork measurements. The findings illustrate the capacity of the land to absorb the returnees and allow future subsistence that feeds the demand for food, goods and jobs

No full textFaktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Penguasaan Pengajian Ilmu Qiraat: Satu Kajian di Kolej Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Ismail Petra (KIAS)
No full textIlmu Qiraat dilihat sudah mula berkembang pada masa kini lebih-lebih lagi
terdapat pusat pengajian yang menawarkan program pengajian yang berkaitan
dengannya. Namun begitu, tahap penguasaan pengajiannya masih kurang
dikaji dengan sewajarnya. Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini dijalankan untuk
menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi penguasaan pengajian Ilmu
Qiraat di Kolej Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Ismail Petra (KIAS). Kajian ini
adalah kajian rintis yang berbentuk kuantitatif yang menggunakan set soal
selidik sebagai instrumen untuk mendapatkan data dan SPSS 21.0 digunakan
untuk menganalisis data. Sampel seramai 30 orang responden telah dipilih
dengan menggunakan kaedah persampelan bertujuan (purposive sampling)
dalam kalangan pelajar-pelajar yang mengikuti program Diploma Qiraat dan
Taranum di Kolej Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Ismail Petra (KIAS) dari tahun
2018 hingga 2020. Sebanyak 15 item yang merangkumi teori dan amali
dikemukan dalam soal selidik tersebut. Kajian mendapati tahap penguasaan
pelajar-pelajar berkaitan pengajian ilmu Qiraat berada pada tahap sederhana. Hal ini disokong dengan data yang diperolehi dari teori dan amali. Oleh yang
demikian, faktor peningkatan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran secara teori
dan amali seharusnya ditambahbaik dan ditingkatkan agar penguasaan
pengajaran ilmu Qiraat dalam kalangan pelajar dapat ditingkatkan ke tahap
yang lebih baik
Development of Mathematics Reading Assessment: Psychometric Evaluation Based on SEM and IRT
No full textThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of
mathematics reading assessment based on structural equation model (SEM)
and item response theory (IRT). The mathematics reading assessment is
conducted in the form of text-reading related to real-life probability and
statistics issues. The sample is 789 sixth graders from 13 primary schools in
Taiwan. The latent construct of mathematics reading includes three factors
which are based on the content area reading components provided by M. C.
McKenna and R. D. Robinson. These three factors of mathematics reading
assessment in this study are general reading comprehension, prior knowledge
of mathematics, and mathematics-specific skills respectively. Firstly, the
researcher develops the mathematics reading assessment and confirms the item
difficulties, item discriminations, and reliability of assessment. A structural
equation model (SEM) is adopted to test the factor construct of the mathematics
reading assessment. According to the analysis, it shows that the item
difficulties, item discriminations, and reliability are very well. The structural
equation model reveals there exist three factors that conform to the assumption
of content area reading components mentioned above. Secondly, this study
calibrates item characteristics by the three-parameter logistic model of item
response theory (IRT). Results indicate that all item fitness performs well.
Items belonging to prior knowledge of mathematics have the highest item
discriminations. Items of mathematics-specific skills have the highest item
difficulties. This study establishes a well-structured mathematics reading
assessment. Results could also provide references for instruction and
assessment of mathematics reading. Finally, based on the findings of this study,
some recommendations and suggestions for future researches and
methodologies are also discussed

No full textBenefits and side effects of energy drink consumption among university students
No full textRecently, energy drinks are becoming a popular beverage among
youths, especially students in tertiary education. It claims to
provide many benefits for students such as increased energy and
wakefulness. This study was carried out to determine the
prevalence, types, benefits, and side effects of energy drink
consumption among university students. This cross-sectional study
was carried out in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Puncak
Alam Campus, Selangor from April 2019 to July 2020. Students
who participated using convenience sampling (n=376) were asked
to complete a set of self-administered questionnaires. Data were
analysed using IBM-SPSS Statistics (Version 25) to determine the
prevalence of energy drinks consumption. A Chi-square test was
also used to determine the association between energy drink
consumption and gender. Out of 380 respondents, 217 (57.1%)
students consumed energy drinks of which 93 (42.9%) were males
and 124 (57.1%) were females. For the types of energy drinks,
male students significantly consumed more Red Bull and
Gatorade compared to females at 68 (53.1%) and 39 (53.4%)
respectively (p<0.05). Also, male students reported that energy
drinks were effective in improving physical performance (n = 55,
51.4%), increased stamina in exercise or sports (n = 47, 52.8%),
increased reaction rate (n = 30, 56.6%) and improved driving
(24, 66.7%) (p<0.05). In contrast, females (n = 80, 52.3%)
perceived that the drinks were able to improve energy (p<0.05).
However, no statistically significant association was found
between males and females for the side effects of energy drink
consumption (p>0.05). In conclusion, a majority of university
students in Selangor consumed energy drinks. Most male students
also believed that it is beneficial with few side effects
