Alcohol effects on biofilm production of staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa / Anis Nabilah Abu Hanipah
No full textStaphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) are known as the opportunistic pathogens which correspond to biofilm formation. Bacteria that develop as surface associated biofilms are difficult to treat with antimicrobials agents which then lead to lethal infection. Due to alcohol exposure lead to increasing biofilm formation which propose the circumstances of nosocomial infections in regard of alcoholic skin disinfectant are routinely applied in clinical setting. The aim of this study to determine the effect of alcohols against these two microorganisms. For this study, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa are tested with ethanol and isopropanol at different percentages (40%, 60%, 80%, and 95%) for 4 and 24 hours by quantifying biofilm formation. Adherence of biofilms were stained and determined with optical density. Ethanol and isopropanol treatment on sample increased the biofilm formation for certain percentages and duration. S. aureus showed an increased biofilm formation with ethanol at 4 and 24 hours. As in P. aeruginosa at 4 and 24 hours were displayed an increased biofilm formation were inducible by 60%, 80% and 95% isopropanol respectively. As for isopropanol treatment on S. aureus on 4 hours displayed decreased of biofilm formation as it indicates isopropanol works effectively on the organism. While for S. aureus at 24 hours shown an increased biofilm formation in 60%, 80% and 95% of isopropanol. For P. aeruginosa sample incubated for 4 hours were not inducible by ethanol as well as for 24 hours at 40%, 60%, and 80% respectively whereas within 24 hours, only 95% of ethanol, displayed an increased biofilm formation. Biofilm enhancement increased with increasing alcohol concentration for certain time. Hence, alcohols might be a poor disinfectant choice due to ineffectiveness to eliminate S. aureus and P. aeruginosa biofilm
The use of small talk in Arabic and Malay drama: a comparative analysis / Anis Nabilah Mamat
No full textSmall talk is a casual conversation between two speakers that aims to increase friendliness and strengthen social relations without conveying any information. It is also one of the language politeness strategies used to initiate communication. In general, this study aims to analyse the comparison of small talk used in the communication between Arabs and Malays. Both cultures have various expressions of small talk which must be understood systematically to avoid cultural conflict, confusions, miscommunication, and misinterpretation. Besides, it is challenging to understand the differences and similarities of small talk expressions between Arab and Malay culture due to a lack of research on the comparative study of Arab and Malay small talk. This study compared the usage of small talk in Malay and Arabic drama from three perspectives namely forms, functions, and gender. In this study, descriptive qualitative approach and content analysis method were both applied. The data of the study came from the Malay drama series "Nur 2" (5 episodes) and the Arabic drama series "أوراق الزمن المر " (5 episodes). Jumanto's (2014) approach, which was modified from Malinowski's (1923) Phatic Communion original theory, was used to deductively analyse the data. The collected data in this study was qualitatively analysed using Atlas.ti software version 8. The Arabic drama yielded 91 small talk expressions and the Malay drama “Nur 2” yielded 100. The study’s findings show that there are similarities and differences in the use of small talk forms and functions between Arabs and Malays due to a variety of factors such as culture, gender, social status, context, and background of the conversation. Furthermore, the use of the forms and functions of small talk according to gender was found to be nearly identical with little variation. The findings of this study are expected to provide a clearer picture of the comparison of the use of small talk in two different cultures. It is also important to emphasise to the community the importance of cross-cultural communication, particularly in improving understanding of cultural differences and adapting to other cultures
Occurrence and estimation of aflatoxins exposure in rice in Selangor, Malaysia / Anis Nabilah Norahmad Zaki
No full textIntroduction: Aflatoxins are a group of naturally occurring mycotoxins which produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergil/us parasiticus and can be found in a large variety of food and animal feed. Rice is the most important staple food crop in Malaysia and the main source of carbohydrate.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and concentration of aflatoxins (8₁, 8₂, G₁ and G₂) in rice and to evaluate the daily intake of this toxicant from rice consumption.
Methodology: Rice samples were collected from four different cities of Selangor province including Klang, Kuala Selangor, Petaling and Gombak. The occurrence of afaltoxins was investigated in 96 rice samples. Analyses were done using LC-ESI MS/MS.
Result: The total positive sample of aflatoxins 8₁, 8₂, G₁ and G₂ was 42.71 % in concentrations ranged from 1.330 to 4.452 ng/g. The average daily intake estimated for total aflatoxins was 28 ng/kg body weight.
Conclusion: The results showed that 42.71 % of total analysed rice samples were contaminated with aflatoxins. Considering the tropical weather in Malaysia, rice stored under this condition is very susceptible to aflatoxins contamination
Penggunaan sembang santai (small talk) dalam komunikasi masyarakat Arab: Satu kajian dalam drama “ قأورا نالزم رالم ”/ Anis Nabilah Mamat dan Norhayuza Mohamad
No full textKajian ini berkisar tentang penggunaan sembang santai dalam komunikasi masyarakat Arab. Sembang santai dapat diertikan sebagai dialog atau perbualan yang tidak rasmi dan tidak meliputi sesuatu topik perbualan yang perlu ditangani. Ia adalah perbualan sopan tentang perkara-perkara yang dianggap tidak penting. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti bentuk sembang santai yang digunakan dalam kalangan masyarakat Arab. Sehingga kini bentuk sembang santai bahasa Arab dalam komunikasi harian, masih belum dapat difahami secara ilmiah kerana masih kurang penyelidikan yang dijalankan. Kajian ini merupakan kajian berbentuk kualitatif deskriptif yang menggunakan pendekatan analisis kandungan. Pengkaji mengumpul data penyelidikan daripada sebuah drama Arab, “ اقأور نالزم رالم ” iaitu Lembaran Masa yang Pahit dari episod 1 hingga 5. Sejumlah 91 set dialog bahasa Arab yang mempunyai unsur sembang santai dikumpulkan daripada drama ini. Data sembang santai dianalisis berlandaskan teori komunikasi fatik Malinowski (1923). Bentuk-bentuk sembang santai ini dikod mengikut bentuk sembang santai yang dibincangkan dalam kajian Jumanto (2014). Data yang diperoleh telah dianalisis dengan menggunakan perisisan ATLAS.ti bagi tujuan pengekodan berdasarkan tema yang dipacu oleh data dan dibina oleh pengkaji. Dapatan kajian ini memperlihatkan masyarakat Arab amat menitik beratkan penggunaan sembang santai dalam komunikasi harian. Terdapat 16 bentuk sembang santai yang dikenalpasti iaitu pesanan, pujian, penghormatan, alu-aluan, pertanyaan khabar, doa, berbasa-basi, meminta diri, sapaan, pelawaan, gurauan, mencelah, permohonan maaf, rasa syukur, penghargaan dan pertanyaan. Sembang santai ini digunakan dengan pelbagai bentuk, tujuan dan keadaan bagi memastikan komunikasi yang lebih berkesan
