Awareness and Acceptance Of Genetic Modified Food (GMF) Among The Malaysian Consumers
No full textThe halal industry is growing vigorously to cater the Muslim consumers in Malaysia. The acceptance, awareness and perception towards the genetic modified food (GMF) is still insufficient to fulfil the Malaysian market and expectantly plays a major role in a long period. The purpose of this paper is to fill the knowledge gap to the study of GMF conducted in Malaysia. Qualitative data were collected via open-ended interview with four participants from various background namely Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) researcher, P3, P4 and P1 by using single case and different site. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and analysed. Almost all participants familiar with the term genetic modified organism (GMO) or genetic modified food (GMF) which are two different entities but similar in biotechnology scope. Almost all participants were familiar with the term of genetic modified food. Since most of the participants came out with the science and biotechnology background, they perceived the GMF product but some of them did not trust of these products for various reasons. The participants agreed on the need for more information from a trusted and credible source that can easily access by the consumers. This study provides an in-depth insight into consumer’ awareness, perception and evaluation concerning the halalan toyyiban status of genetic modified food in Malaysia. The novelty of these finding could provide information for the biotechnology food industry to expand its market and develop its profitability and reliability to promo sustainable food production and consumption in the population

No full textOptimization of culture conditions for biohydrogen production from sago wastewater by enterobacter aerogenes using response surface methodology
No full textSago wastewater (SWW) causes pollution to the environment due to its high organic content. Annually, about 2.5 million tons of SWW is produced in Malaysia. In this study, the potential of SWW as a substrate for biohydrogen production by Enterobacter aerogenes (E. aerogenes) was evaluated. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to find the optimum conditions. From preliminary optimization, it was found that the most significant factors were yeast extract, temperature, and inoculum size. According to Face Centered Central Composite Design (FCCCD), the maximum hydrogen concentration and yield were 630.67 μmol/L and 7.42 mmol H2/mol glucose, respectively, which is obtained from the sample supplemented with 4.8 g/L yeast extract concentration, 5% inoculum, and incubated at the temperature of 31 °C. Cumulative hydrogen production curve fitted by the modified Gompertz equation suggested that Hmax, Rmax, and λ from this study were 15.10 mL, 2.18 mL/h, and 9.84 h, respectively
The Impact of User – Generated Content (UGC) on Product Reviews towards Online Purchasing – A Conceptual Framework
No full textAbstractSocial media is a virtual community that links people around the globe through many websites such as Friendster, MySpace, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. In 2010, Instagram was introduced as a new addition to this social media family. Since then, many online retailers have started to conduct their businesses on Instagram as they see this new social media as a friendlier channel and easier to monitor compared to Facebook and Blogs. Many buyers would also prefer to purchase from Instagram as well due to less cluttered page, straightforward interface and easier to read feedbacks from other buyers. Feedbacks or also known as User – Generated Content (UGC) happens when previous buyers share their experiences online, which allows others including the potential buyers to read. Based on an extensive literature review, this paper proposes a framework to investigate the influence of UGC on consumer's online product purchase intention. Findings from this study are expected to extend the literature on UGC and give benefits to marketers and online business operators

Aplikasi Pengaduan Kerusakan Jalan Dengan Algoritma Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Untuk Menentukan Prioritas Layanan
No full textAt this time, every road damage the community can contribute to providing reports related to road damage, but reports must go through other parties before arriving. to the relevant agencies, then on the other hand repairs to road damage have a priority scale, based on the provisions that have been made based on the provisions that have been set, but the calculation of road repair priorities at this time is still manual, calculations with this manual take a long time, so it can be concluded that a system is needed that is able to become a media for reporting road damage, which connects the community and other agencies. also a system that is able to calculate the priority value of road damage. In this study, the methodology used by the author is a prototype, using Codeigniter framework, and MYSQL as the DBMS,and the AHP algorithm as a priority scale calculation, resulting in a website as a frontend administrator as well as AHP calculations for service priorities, as well as a mobile-based application using android operating system as media for reporting road damages and potholes. The results of the testing carried out on both applications using the blackbox method concluded that the application on the administrator's side can run well, in accordance with the existing functions, this also applies to the mobile application on the user side (reporter)

No full textTransient Ischemic Attack (TIA), a medical emergency defined as a transient episode of neurologic dysfunction due to the focal brain, spinal cord or retinal ischemia, without acute infarction or tissue injury. Epidemiological evidences suggested that there is residual problems post-TIA, specifically in the domains of cognitive, physical, emotional, psychological, social and quality of life (QoL). Granting all this, studies addressing post-TIA care specifically in the context of residual impairments are still scarce. TIA patients’ needs were summarized by Turner et al. in 2019, encompassing three aspects: 1) Information; 2) Stroke prevention; and 3) Holistic (residual impairments and patient’s lives). Therefore, this scoping review will go through the reported care programs with the aim to identify if there are any existing practices or treatments done to address the patients’ needs. Ideally, the insights of this scoping review will be used to inform the development of a multi-component post-TIA care module for TIA patients. This review will be utilizing the 5-step framework by Arksey & Malley 2005, and databases searched covers Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane Library and EBSCOhost using keywords related to Tia and care. Eligibility criteria used will be based on the result of mutual agreements between the reviewers. Whereas, search terms used are refined through initial searches in PubMed, EBSCOhost, Cochrane Library and Scopus. Keywords in the titles and abstracts of relevant articles were noted, MeSH terms were reviewed and ongoing changes were made to the search strategy until the final terms to be used in the search strategy was deemed to be sufficient. The search results from all four databases will be downloaded and imported into EndNote 21.0 for further screening. A PRISMA flow diagram will be used to clearly report the flow and process from initial data searching to final articles for inclusion in the scoping review. Relevant data will be extracted from each article, including author; year of publication; research design; population; sample size; interventions used and related details; key findings; and limitations. The extracted data will be categorized by the reviewers according to the types of needs and tabulated into a summary chart in Microsoft Word. Data will be extracted and described using simple counts of different concepts such as dimension of needs, delivery model, population characteristics and outcomes. Details of the intervention involved will be described according to the types, phrases and dosage. Basic coding of data will be conducted forming themes where grouping is appropriate. Gaps in the literature will also be noted
