Crocker Range National Park, Sabah, as a refuge for Borneo’s montane herpetofauna
No full textCrocker Range National Park in Sabah (East Malaysia), northern Borneo, is an exceptional area for herpetological diversity. Inventories of the Park are incomplete, but show high diversity, as well as regional endemicity shared with the adjacent and more well-known Gunung Kinabalu National Park. The montane ecosystem of the Range offers refuge for a number of rare herpetofaunal taxa, including Stoliczkia borneensis, Rhabdophis murudensis, Oligodon everetti, Philautus bunitus, Ansonia anotis, Sphenomorphus aesculeticola, and undescribed species of squamates of the genera Sphenomorphus and Gongylosoma. The 59 species of amphibians and 45 species of reptiles now recorded from the Range represent 39 and 16.2 per cent of the total Bornean amphibian and reptile fauna, respectively. The high levels of deforestation of the surrounding regions of Borneo, particularly lowland rainforests, highten the importance of protection of primary forests of northern Borneo’s Crocker Range

Reactions to symptoms of mental disorder and help seeking in Sabah, Malaysia
No full text© 2017, © The Author(s) 2017. Background: A better understanding is needed about how people make decisions about help seeking. Materials: Focus group and individual interviews with patients, carers, healthcare staff, religious authorities, traditional healers and community members. Discussion: Four stages of help seeking were identified: (1) noticing symptoms and initial labelling, (2) collective decision-making, (3) spiritual diagnoses and treatment and (4) psychiatric diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion: Spiritual diagnoses have the advantage of being less stigmatising, giving meaning to symp toms, and were seen to offer hope of cure rather than just symptom control. Patients and carers need help to integrate different explanatory models into a meaningful whole
Analisis Motif Klaim Kesultanan Sulu atas Wilayah Sabah, Malaysia
No full textPerihal Pertikaian Teritorial bukan lagi merupakan bahasan fenomena baru dalam kajian Hubungan Internasional, dan juga merupakan fenomena yang tidak asing lagi di kawasan Asia Tenggara. Namun di awal tahun 2013 lalu, muncul sebuah fenomena Pertikaian Teritorial yang memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan kasus-kasus yang pernah terjadi sebelumnya, yaitu munculnya klaim dari sebuah kelompok yang bernama Kesultanan Sulu terhadap wilayah Sabah, yang merupakan wilayah bagian negara Malaysia. Kesultanan Sulu merupakan salah satu etnis yang berdomisili di negara Filipina.Penelitian ini menggunakan konsep Iredentisme yang diajukan oleh David Levinson dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa tindakan klaim Kesultanan Sulu atas wilayah Sabah tersebut dapat dikategorikan sebagai tindakan Iredentisme, yang menjelaskan bahwa motif dari klaim tersebut bersumber dari adanya keterikatan sejarah yang dimiliki antara pihak Kesultanan Sulu dengan wilayah Sabah itu sendiri
Perkembangan efikasi guru sekolah menengah di Sabah
No full textKajian ini bertujuan menentukan pola efikasi guru mengikut fasa-fasa pengalaman mengajar. Sampel seramai 1321 orang guru yang mengajar di 48 buah sekolah menengah dalam empat bahagian utama di Sabah, dipilih menerusi teknik persampelan bertujuan. Data dikumpul menggunakan instrumen Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES). Analisis min menunjukkan efikasi guru-guru sekolah menengah berada pada aras yang tinggi. Efikasi guru dikenalpasti berkembang dalam empat fasa, iaitu fasa efikasi adaptasi, efikasi matang, efikasi puncak dan efikasi lesu. Analisis korelasi Pearson mendapati hubungan antara pengalaman guru dengan efikasi guru adalah signifikan tetapi pada aras yang lemah. Menerusi analisis multivariat mendapati pengalaman mengajar memberi pengaruh yang signifikan ke atas efikasi guru secara keseluruhan mahupun dimensi-dimensinya secara berasingan. Pengurusan kelas didapati menerima pengaruh yang lebih besar berbanding dimensi-dimensi yang lain. Implikasi dapatan kajian juga dibincangkan

Study on is money the motivator towards job performance in public sector : case study in UiTM Kota Kinabalu Sabah / Nur Aisyah Abd Khalid
No full textJob performance has been identified as the significant key for organizations to gain competitive advantage and superior productivity. Although competitive advantage is more relevant to private sector, it can be extended to public sector by including serving the public because it is the ultimate objective of the public sector. Study by Vermeeren et al. (2009) has proved that job performance could help public organization to improve service delivery. Realizing its importance, public organizations seem to pay attention on job performance in relation to formulating policies and enhance service delivery (Leeuw, 1996). In many organizations, people believe that job performance is more beneficial to them, their customer and more importantly, to their organization (Cook and McCaulay, 1997 ; McKendall and Margulis, 1995)Since job performance is crucial to government services, high job performance among employees is a significant challenge for management to provide excellent services to the public at all levels. However, what exactly affecting government servant job performance needs to be discovered first. Thus this research tends to know what exactly drive the job performance among employees of government agencies in Malaysia. This study attempts to see the influence of monetary factors in the performance of employee in public sector which is employee in UiTM Kota Kinabalu Sabah
The Kadazans and Sabah Politics
No full textThe Kadazans - the indigenous non-Muslim tribal people of what was North Borneo under Chartered Company rule and is now Sabah, a state of Malaysia - have for the most part throughout their history been governed by others than themselves. Before European contact Muslim overlords from Brunei or the Sulu archipelago exercised a tenuous sovereignty; the London-based Chartered Company was concerned to extract wealth for shareholders and to keep the indigenes quiescent; and since the formation of Malaysia, with the covert or overt support of the federal government in Kuala Lumpur, for the greater part of the time Muslim rule has prevailed. This thesis is a detailed examination of the last quarter-of-a-century's political life in Sabah, with particular reference to the role of the Kadazan community therein. The growth of Kadazan consciousness or "nationalism" is traced, and the evolution of their political parties and fortunes. Political and socio-economic developments within the state are linked always to the federal framework within which they take place and must be understood. The author has been and is a participant-observer in the history with which he deals having been both newspaper editor and Radio Sabah commentator; back-bench M.P. in opposition and front-bench Cabinet Minister in Government; grass roots activist in villages and legal advisor to the present Government of Sabah headed by a Kadazan, Datuk Joseph Pairin Kitingan
