Comparison of Tooth Size Discrepancy of Three Main Ethnics in Malaysia with Bolton's Ratio
No full textThe objective of this study was to investigate the applicability of Bolton's ratios in orthodontic population of Malaysian main ethnics; Malay, Chinese and Indians. Ninety convenient samples consisting of 30 pre-orthodontic study casts from each ethnic that fits the inclusion criteria were selected. The greatest mesiodistal widths of each tooth from six to six for overall ratio and three to three for anterior ratio were measured using a digital callipers linked to Hamilton Arch Tooth System software to the nearest 0.01mm. Means of the ratios were calculated using Bolton analysis. One sample t-test statistic analysis was carried out to compare the means with Bolton values of anterior ratio and overall ratio and one-way ANOVA was used to analyze comparison between ethnic groups of the anterior ratio and the overall ratio with the level of statistical significance set at p < 0.05. However, there were no significant differences when comparing Bolton values with Chinese and Indian anterior and overall ratios. The Bolton standards could be applied to Malaysian Chinese, Indians and Malay's female. Subsequently, a specific standard should be used for the Malays orthodontic population.Article URL : http://www.ukm.my/jsm/pdf_files/SM-PDF-41-2-2012/17%20Aida%20Nur%20Ashikin.pd

In this review article, the author highlights the studies conducted and published risk factors, recommends protocols for early diagnosis, and describes management strategies to lessen or prevent blindness related to ROP
The Fantasy of History in the novel "Water of Roses" by the Qatari author Noura Farag
No full textيسعى هذا البحث إلى دراسة توظيف الفانتازيا والإشارات التاريخية في بنية السرد الروائي في رواية الكاتبة القطرية نورة فرج "ماء الورد" من جوانب عديدة: الخطاب السردي، وتوظيف الفانتازيا والإشارة التاريخية، وطبيعة الرؤية التخييلية، ومقاربة الشخصيات التاريخية والمتخيلة.
وقد بُني البحث على محاولة الكشف عن المنظور السردي الروائي في طرق استدعائها للإشارات التاريخية التي ارتبطت بالقرن الرابع الهجري. وذلك في ضوء المنهج التأويلي.
وتبين أن الرواية تمثل إشكالية في علاقتها بالإشارات التاريخية والفانتازيا، وامتازت بإدانتها لبعض الأحداث التاريخية، وقلب الحقيقة، والإيهام في بعضها الآخر، كما تمكنت من توليد الإحساس بالحدث التاريخي بما يتجاوز الإخبار إلى التخييل الروائي. وكشفت الرواية عن أهمية توظيف الفانتازيا في إعادة تشكيل رؤية المتلقي للعالم. كما أظهر تمثل رؤية الكاتبة في رفع مستوى حضور الشخصية المتخيلة مقابل الشخصية التاريخية، وانتصار التخييلي على التاريخي. ونظرا لقلة الدراسات التي تتناول توظيف الفانتازيا في السرد، نأمل أن يجد هذا النوع من الدراسة الاهتمام الأكبر مستقبلا لكونها تقنية تجريبية مهمة في قراءة المبدع للواقع.This research seeks to study the employment of fantasy and historical references in the structure of the narrative in the novel by the Qatari writer Noura Faraj "Rose Water" from many aspects: the narrative discourse, the employment of fantasy and historical reference, the nature of imaginary vision, and the approach to historical and imaginary characters.
The research was built on an attempt to reveal the artistic value and the intellectual vision, which the novel represented in many respects of recalling the historical references that related to the 4th-century Hijri (AH). This is in the light of the interpretive approach.
The research showed that this novel reflects a problem in its relationship to historical references and fantasy, and is characterized by its condemnation of some historical events, the reversal of the truth, and the illusion of others. This is mainly because it was able to generate a sense of the historical event beyond the ability of the narrative discourse to give the text its literary value. The research also demonstrates that the idea of the novel and the vision of its author is to raise the level of the presence of the imagined character against the historical character, and the victory of the imaginary over the historical. Due to the paucity of researches dealing with the use of fantasy in the narrative, we hope that this type of research will find greater interest in the future as it is an important experimental technique in the creator's reading of reality
Visitors’ emotions, touristic or spiritual experiences in historic churches: The development of Church Experience Scale (CES)
No full textIn this paper we describe the development of the Church Experience Scale (CES) that allows us to measure visitor experience in historic churches, both with and without multimedia guides and other technologies. This study was carried out with 272 respondents at three historic churches in York, UK. Respondents for this study were visitors to these churches who were asked to complete a questionnaire immediately after their visit. A full psychometric scale development procedure was used which resulted in the Church Experience Scale (CES) which has five components: Enjoyment, Intellectual Stimulation and Curiosity; Emotional and Spiritual Experience; Immersion; Information Overload; and Knowledge and Learning. The usefulness of the scale in investigating visitors’ experiences in historic churches is explored. An initial comparison between inactive and an active historic church were compared using CES.niversiti Malaysia Sarawak (U NIMAS

Measuring the usability of a smartphone delivered museum guide
No full textSmartphones are increasingly being deployed by museums and other cultural spaces to provide guides for visitors, replacing
dedicated audioguides or docents. This paper describes a study investigating a scale to measure the usability of a multimedia
smartphone guide for a museum, the Multimedia Guide Scale (MMGS). Two different types of museum guide were compared: a
free choice tour (FC-tour) and guided tour (G-tour). Result shows that there was a significant difference in scores on the MMGS
between the two tours, between the three components of the MMGS (Quality of Interaction; Learnability and Control; General
Usability) and a significant interaction between the two variables (factors and the guides). The mean scores were higher for the
G-tour on the General Usability component and particularly on the Quality of Interaction component, whereas for the
Learnability and Control component, scores were higher for the FC-tour Guide. The implications of these findings and the use of
the MMGS are discussed.Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS
