Zika on Board / Ariza Adnan, Nurhuda Ismail
Get PDFThe Olympics and Paralympic games bring joy to millions of people worldwide. This year it was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil amidst the Zika virus epidemic. On 1 February 2016, six months leading to the Olympics, the excitement was dampened by the World Health Organization declaration of the unprecedented vector-borne Zika virus (ZIKV) infection as a public health emergency of international concern [1]. At that point in time, people in Malaysia also felt the heat but had the consolation that the epidemic occurred across the Atlantic on the other side of the world

Macroeconomic factors that influence net consumption in Malaysia / Nurhuda Bakar
Get PDFMalaysia is currently experiencing rapid economic growth, industrial development, and increase in number of population and changing in lifestyle. Therefore, consumers in Malaysia are able to raise their consumption level by acquiring good and services available in the market. However, a rise in real incomes, the accumulation of household assets and a preparedness to take on more debt have resulted in higher consumer spending on unrestricted items relative to basic necessities and people tend to save less. Besides, personal consumption expenditures in Malaysia, accounting for the largest share of gross domestic product (GDP), are the main generator of employment in the economy. Nonetheless, not surprisingly, job loss is often connected with a decline in consumption, which then reduces demand for other goods and services as part of a negative cycle of increasing unemployment and declining economic activity. Therefore, the main aim of the study is to identify macroeconomic factors such as gross domestic product, inflation rate, unemployment rate, net income and exchange rate that influence consumer consumption in Malaysia by using multiple linear regression models. Despite the fact, the objective of the current study is to determine the relationship between macroeconomic factors towards the net consumption in Malaysia. The data also collected from The World Bank and Data Stream. This study using 32 observations which cover for 32 years taken the period from 1983 to 2015. The research suggested that gross domestic product, inflation rate has positive significant relationship with consumer net consumption and net income perfect correlated with consumer net consumption. However, unemployment rate and exchange rate has negative significant relationship with consumer net consumptions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The factors influencing the successful development of safety culture in RISDA Melaka / Nurhuda Kassim
Get PDFMost injuries are not caused by faulty equipment; they are caused by an employee’s behavior. Safety culture is a term often used to describe the way in which safety is managed in the workplace, and often reflects the attitude, beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in relation to safety: (Cox and Cox, 1991). This research is about the factors that influencing the successful development of a safety culture. The research is based in RISDA Melaka. In this project paper the main aims of this research is to study the factors that will influence the development of safety culture. This research involves 100 staff of RISDA Melaka. Three factors will be use to determine the successful development of a safety culture which is, safety programmes work, maintenance, and employee empowerment. The factors are being identified in order to make an investigation whether or not these factor have significantly and influence the successful development of a safety culture at RISDA, Melaka. In this study, the method use is questionnaire. It will be use to identify the relevant information regarding the study on perception of safety culture at RISDA Melaka. Researchers also use secondary data such as journals, previous thesis, article and internal data
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Mathematical modelling of tuberculosis transmission and impact of Isoniazid Preventive Therapy in Malaysia / Nurhuda Ismail
Get PDFTuberculosis remains one of the highest unresolved disease burden
among re-emerging diseases in Malaysia for the last thirty years. The current treatment
protocol guideline emphasizes treatment for only infectious tuberculosis patients. This
study aimed to investigate tuberculosis transmission dynamics exclusive to the
Malaysian environment and characteristics. This study applied the infectious disease
modelling techniques to study the progression of latent tuberculosis infection and assess
the likely impact of Isoniazid Preventive Therapy for latent tuberculosis high risk
subpopulations in reducing tuberculosis incidence in Malaysia. Methods: This study
explored the epidemiology of tuberculosis in Malaysia to develop a deterministic
compartmental age-structured tuberculosis model which incorporated treatment for
infectious as well as early preventive therapy for latent. The model assumed latently
infected individuals develop infectious state of tuberculosis as a result of primary
infection, endogenous reactivation and exogenous reinfection. This study assessed the
likely impact of interventions in Malaysia by formulating and analysing the model
under various scenarios. These included no intervention strategy then, extended to
incorporate the Isoniazid Preventive Therapy only, treatment of infectious tuberculosis
only and combination treatment of infectious tuberculosis and Isoniazid Preventive
Therapy. The equilibrium of the model was determined, and stabilities were analysed.
The model fitting and validation were performed. The national tuberculosis incidence
was estimated and projected from 1990 till 2050. The effective reproduction numbers
for the model were compared to assess the possible population benefits achieved by no
intervention, treatment of infectious tuberculosis only, Isoniazid Preventive Therapy
only and a combination treatment of infectious tuberculosis and Isoniazid Preventive
Therapy for the latents. The model further determined the effectiveness of Isoniazid
Preventive Therapy for early latent tuberculosis infection and quantified coverage of the
iv
strategy to eliminate tuberculosis, when used in conjunction with treatment of infectious
tuberculosis. The model then compared the selection of early latent tuberculosis
infection versus late latent tuberculosis infection to effectively reduce the incidence of
tuberculosis in Malaysia. Results: A transmission dynamic mathematical model of
tuberculosis exclusive to Malaysian environment and characteristics was developed.
The model projected a higher and increasing trend of national tuberculosis incidence till
year 2030 at annual increment rates from 1% to 5.5%. Application of this model
showed that combination treatment strategy of Isoniazid Preventive Therapy for early
high risk latent tuberculosis sub-populations with current treatment for infectious
tuberculosis is the most effective strategy for controlling tuberculosis epidemic in
Malaysia. However, a minimal ten percent coverage of Isoniazid Preventive Therapy in
population is required for effective reduction following eight to ten years of successful
implementation with expected cumulative incidence reduction of 27.21% by 2050.
Conclusion: Isoniazid Preventive Therapy may have substantial effect on controlling
tuberculosis epidemic in Malaysia when used in conjunction with current treatment
regime for infectious tuberculosis. However, a minimal ten percent coverage among the
early latent tuberculosis infection sub-populations must be ensured to achieve effective
reduction in incidence. This can be achieved by expansion of coverage to other high risk
latent tuberculosis sub-populations such as healthcare workers, close contacts and in
institutionalized settings, with comprehensive protocol and surveillanc
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
