Precocious Puberty and Peer Relationships of Preadolescent Girls
This article discusses the relationship between precocious puberty and the peer
relationships of preadolescent girls in public primary schools in Kiambu
County, Kenya. This article is based on a case study of twelve selected public
primary schools (representing the 12 constituencies) of Kiambu County,
Kenya. The sample population was a total of four hundred and ten pre-teenage
girls drawn from eight to twelve-year-old girls, and eight class teachers, who
were purposively sampled from twelve randomly selected public primary
schools in the study location. This was a mixed study that utilized both
quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The self-rating scale for
pubertal maturation and the peer connectedness scale was used to assess for
signs of precocious puberty and the quality of peer relationships respectively.
In addition, structured interviews and focus group discussions were used to
gather additional primary data. The instruments were pilot-tested on a sample
of thirty-six respondents who were purposively sampled from three public
primary schools in the sample location, and who were omitted from the actual
study sample. The quantitative data was analysed using the Statistical Package
for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26, while the qualitative data was analysed
using the content analysis approach. Analysed data was presented using both
figures and tables. This study found a significant relationship (?=0.258,
p=0.011) between precocious puberty and peer relationships among
preadolescent girls. This was confirmed by the interview responses and the
focus group narratives. The study concluded that earlier pubertal maturation
led to strained peer relationships among preadolescent girls. This article
recommends that forums to educate children on the stages of development and
how to handle each of them be incorporated in the curriculum, to prepare girls
for pubertal maturation whenever it occurs
COVID-19: travel intention and restoring travelers\u27 confidence
The study examined the non-economic impact of COVID-19 on
tourist behaviour, specifically from the perspective of travel
intention and restoration of travellers\u27 confidence in travelling
again during and post-pandemic. Data were collected with an
online questionnaire using the snowball sampling method. A total
of 150 respondents completed the questionnaire. A descriptive
statistical test was used to analyse the data collected. Research
findings reveal a pessimistic outlook on travel intention.
Individuals may feel sceptical and wait six months or longer
before engaging in tourism activities again, even after the
pandemic is brought under control. Most individuals may only be
motivated to travel again when the COVID-19 vaccine becomes
available. It was also discovered that when it comes to the
restoration of travellers\u27 confidence, measures that can be seen,
calculated, or proved may work best, such as face mask-wearing,
social distancing, hand sanitising as well as disinfection and
sterilisation. There may also be a perception difference between
what service providers perceive as critical and what travellers
perceive as indispensable for the restoration of travellers\u27
confidence. It is the latter\u27s perception that will and should matter
the most. Research findings are based on travellers\u27 perception,
hence the importance of expanding research scope to examine
actual travel behaviour when COVID-19 is over and tourism
bounces back to "normal.

Bridging the gap between the derivatives and graph sketching in calculus: an innovative game-based learning approach
Sketching the graph of mathematical functions using derivatives is a challenging task for
undergraduate students who enrol for the first level of calculus course. Before graph plotting, students are
required to perform a thorough function analysis using the concepts learned in differentiation. They are
then expected to solicit the results obtained to sketch the graph. Nevertheless, the students face great
difficulties in achieving this goa
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among non-occupational motorcyclists: what are the issues?
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) related to occupational work or termed as WMSDs are
the most common health issues that are experienced by many workers. Either due to the human errors
or inconvenient and faulty workplaces, this illness has caused both employers and employees great
economic losses. However, when observing the prevalence of MSDs among motorcyclists, again the
focus was put among those that use motorcycles during their duties making it very much work-related.
For example, police riders, postal delivery workers, and currently food delivery services. But how about
those non-occupational motorcyclists or commuting workers or students that only use their motorcycle
to commute to work, riding to class or weekend-motorcyclists going for prolonged motorcycle rides?
Upon this matter, it became the motivation of this study to look into the possibilities of MSDs
prevalence especially related to muscle fatigue among these groups of motorcyclists based on a survey
and indoor prolonged motorcycle riding simulations that were conducted earlier. This includes how
education and proper training could help them to reduce the risk of experiencing MSDs. Outcomes of
this study suggested several other MSD issues that are possible to take place involving other body
regions and establishing a prolonged riding guideline could educate them to be more aware of this issue.
These possible MSDs were found to not being highlighted in work-related MSDs literature with respect
to motorcyclists and very few detailed guidelines are available to educate motorcyclists for a much safer
prolonged riding which provide gaps for further investigation and validation
Malaysian-Omani Historical and Cultural Relationship: In Context of Halwa Maskat and Baju Maskat
The current re-emergence of global maritime activity has sparked initiative
from various nations in re-examining their socio-political and cultural position
of the region. Often this self-reflection would involve the digging of the deeper
origin and preceding past of a nation from historical references and various
cultural heritage materials. From this, realisation of the pattern in maintaining
an empire or enterprise from the immediate ancestral society could be turned
into a model or benchmark in developing the present and future planning of the
nation. In the context of Islamic civilisation development along the IndoPacific seaboard the Omani and Malay nations are the two integral entities that had assumed their central role as seafarers, traders, rulers, and travellers in maintaining the dynamics of the region and this happened as early as the
Islamic period of the 9th and 10th century CE up till 16th and 19th century
when series of European colonial infiltration disrupted greatly the balance of
this classical network. The Kitab at-Tarikh Silsilah Negeri Kedah, for instance,
presented a vivid story of an Omani captain and his ship in the early 1700s who
had met Kedahan people. The cultural heritage of the Arabian Gulf brought
mainly by the Omanis could even be found there such as a fabric product
known as Baju Maskat and a kind of delicacy known as Halwa Maskat which
signal that the cultural hegemony of the Omanis indeed exceeded their
immediate political boundary
Artificial Intelligence: Is It A Threat or An Opportunity Based on Its Legal Personality and Criminal Liability?
Information technology is taking the world by storm. The technological world
is changing rapidly and drastically. Human activities are taken over by robots
and computers. The usage of computers and robots has increased productivity
in various sectors. The emergence of artificial intelligence has stirred up many
debates on both its importance and limitations. Artificial intelligence is
directed to the usage of Information Technology in conducting tasks that
normally require human intelligence. The expectation of artificial intelligence
is high, nevertheless, artificial intelligence has its shortcomings namely the
impact of artificial intelligence on the concept of a legal personality. The
problem with artificial Intelligence is the debate on whether does it have a legal
personality? And another problem is under what situation does the law treat
artificial intelligence as an entity with its own rights and obligations. The
objective of this article is to examine the various definitions of legal personality
and whether artificial intelligence can become a legal person. The article will
also examine the criminal liability of artificial intelligence when a crime has
been committed. The methodology adopted is qualitative namely Doctrinal
Legal Research by analyzing the relevant legal views from various journals on
artificial intelligence. The study found out that artificial intelligence has its limitations in defining its legal personality and also in examining the criminal
liability when a crime has been committed by robots
Emoji & Emoticon-related legal issues
Emoji and emoticon are the most important inventions in the history of communication. During the early days, emoticon and emoji were perceived as an aid in communication by helping people to clarify the tone of online texts. Even though sometimes the meaning really does not matter, the meaning of emoji and emoticon themselves were highly subjective and promoted an ambiguity. Though ambiguous, emoji and emoticon do convey meaning and legal practitioners need to consider when they will be legally binding or conveying intentions. Hence, the intriguing focus of this article is exploring the challenges that will be posed of the legal fraternity on the method usage in constructing the meaning of the emoji and emoticon and the judicial responses in Malaysia. This article is a conceptual paper applying a doctrinal legal research method particularly via a library research. This article concludes that the legal fraternity especially Malaysian judiciaries need to equip themselves with the legal framework with regards to the emoji and emoticon. The legal statutory interpretation needs to be extended into a wider scope to incorporate the emoji and emoticon. Due to the overwhelming used of digital application using emoji and emoticon in media social, the legal dispute will be foreseeable in the near future
