    Buku Panduan Pelaksanaan Pendidikan Abad Ke-21 ini dihasilkan dengan tujuan untuk mendefinisikan dan mengenal pasti aspek-aspek penting yang terkandung dalam pengamalan pendidikan abad ke-21 di sekolah-sekolah. Ini memandangkan bahawa terdapat takrifan dan kefahaman yang berbeza-beza dalam maksud, penekanan, dan cara pelaksanaan pendidikan abad ke-21 di sekolah-sekolah sejak inisiatif ini dilancarkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) secara rintis pada tahun 2014 dan diluaskan pelaksanaannya ke seluruh negara mulai tahun 2015. Buku ini merupakan hasil kajian literatur dan lawatan penandaarasan ke sekolah-sekolah terpilih yang dikenal pasti mengamalkan pendidikan abad ke-21 oleh ahli-ahli pasukan pemikir pendidikan abad ke-21 yang ditubuhkan pada bulan Januari 2016. sekolah-sekolah yang dilawati mempunyai kekuatan masing-masing dan amalan terbaik yang diperhatikan dikongsi dalam buku ini

    The Design and Implementation of a Key Performance Indicator Dashboard for KE-chain

    KE-works is a six years old company which aims to optimise the product development process in industrial applications. To accomplish this, KE-works deploys a web-application called KE-chain. KEchain is an engineering workflow management system with the objective to increase the efficiency of the product development process through better control, more efficient distribution, access and use of product-related information. Users have the possibility to set-up a project, manage the tasks belonging to this project, and control the workflow and information distribution. With KE-chain users are able to create structure in the heap of information that composes their product and, when used right, improve the process of their project development. One of the key elements in optimising the product development process is the monitoring of the available data to give users insight in the status of the project. Currently it is difficult to get a good overview of a project within KE-chain and it is not possible to see what tasks are cirtical at a certain moment. A common way of showing the status or performance of systems is the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). These indicators, for example in the form of a graph or a table, can quickly give information about the performance of a system. KE-works has decided that it wants to give its users an overview in the formof a project-specific dashboard with KPI widgets. Therefore the assignment is to design and develop an integrated KPI dashboard into KE-chain. To design the KPI dashboard, which we named KE-board, we shortly researched the field of Performance Measurement to get an overview of the different approaches for the design of KPI’s. As a basis for the design we have adopted the Lean methodology [1] which has been used by KE-works in the past. In our research we have actually connected the Lean wastes to measures in KE-chain. To do this, we have chosen a bottom-up approach, which means we started by identifying the available data, after which we extracted several groups of measures. We have interviewed several clients of KEworks, the users of KE-chain. From these interviews we deducted which groups of measures were important for which user roles. To verify which measures are of importance for these dashboards, we have questioned and interviewd the consultants of KE-works. By combining the results of the interviews and the questionnaires we designed 7 KPI widgets. Finally, we created KE-board and integrated it into KE-chain in five weeks of implementation. After that we have evaluated the complete dashboard by interviewing the consultants of KE-works. On top of that, we have sent them a questionnaire in which they rated the functionality of the widgets to see if they contribute to their purpose and achieve the goals that we set for them. KE-board has been received well by the management and employees of KE-works and according to the extensive evaluation we can state that it definitely contributes to the optimization of the product development process in KE-chain.Computer ScienceComputer ScienceElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    No full text
    Latihan ilmiah ini merupakan satu kajian ke atas 30 orang pekerja wanita Cina yang telah berkahwin serta mempunyai suami dan anak di kawasan rumah pangsa Lereh, Melaka. Jenis pekerjaan responden digolongkan sebagai kakitangan/employee dan pekerja sendiri/self-account worker. Tujuan utama kajian ialah untuk melihat hubungan pekerjaan-kesuburan dengan tumpuan khusus; kepada konflik peranan sebagai seorang pekerja dan ibu dengan kesuburan. Di samping juga, ingin melihat kaitan antara budaya dan perancangan keluarga dengan kesuburan. Bab I dinyatakan tentang tujuan, bidang, kaedah dan kepentingan kajian serta masalah-masalah yang dihadapi ketika menjalankan penyelidikan. Penghuraian konsep-konsep diadakan bagi memudahkan lagi pemahaman terhadap penulisan ini. Manakala bab II merupakan peninjauan terhadap penulisan-penulisan awal untuk menambahkan pengetahuan mengenai tajuk kajian ini. Bab III pula dinyatakan tentang latarbelakang kawasan kajian dan sebab-sebab kawasan ini dipilih sebagai samnel kajian. Di samping juga dinyatakan keadaan sosio-ekonomi responden dan suami, aliran kesubuan, latarbelakang keluarga dan anak serta faktor-faktor yang mendorong responden bekerja. Bab-bab seterusnya merupakan topik-topik perbincanann hasil kajian. Bab IV dinyatakan tentang peluasan perana pekerja wanita sebagai seorang pekerjaaan ibu, konflik peranan yang dialami dan cara penyesuaian. Akhirnya dinyatakan rumusan tentang sejauhmana konflik peranan mempengaruhi kesuburan. Faktor budaya juga penting dalam mempengaruhi kesuburan. Bab V akan menghuraikan sistem kekeluargaan dan budaya Cina terutama sikap, nilai dan norma masyarakat Cina terhadap jantina dibandingkan dengan masyarakat Cina tradisional. Bab VI akan meninjau pengetahuan, sikap dan amalan responden terhadap perancangan keluarga. Bab VII, penutup

    Intra-individual comparison of human ankle and knee chondrocytes in vitro: relevance for talar cartilage repair

    OBJECTIVE: As compared to knee chondrocytes (KC), talar chondrocytes (TC) have superior synthetic activity and increased resistance to catabolic stimuli. We investigated whether these properties are maintained after TC are isolated and expanded in vitro. METHODS: Human TC and KC from 10 cadavers were expanded in monolayer and then cultured in pellets for 3 and 14 days or in hyaluronan meshes (Hyaff-11) for 14 and 28 days. Resulting tissues were assessed biochemically, histologically, biomechanically and by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The proteoglycan and collagen synthesis rates in the pellets were also measured following exposure to Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta). RESULTS: After 14 days of pellet culture, TC and KC expressed similar levels of type I collagen (CI) and type II collagen (CII) mRNA and the resulting tissues contained comparable amounts of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and displayed similar staining intensities for CII. Also proteoglycan and collagen synthesis were similar in TC and KC pellets, and dropped to a comparable extent in response to IL-1 beta. Following 14 days of culture in Hyaff-11, TC and KC generated tissues with similar amounts of GAG and CI and CII. After 28 days, KC deposited significantly larger fractions of GAG and CII than TC, although the trend was not reflected in the measured biomechanical properties. CONCLUSION: After isolation from their original matrices and culture expansion, TC and KC displayed similar biosynthetic activities, even in the presence of catabolic stimuli. These in vitro data suggest a possible equivalence of TC and KC as autologous cell sources for the repair of talar cartilage lesions
