No full textInteraksi budaya India & Cina ke atas pengukuhan bahasa dalam tamadun Melayu
No full textThe history of human civilization depicts that the growth and downfall of a civilization is interrelated to the power and solidarity of its language. Language is an important factor in determining positive interaction within individuals in a society. The migration of the Indian and Chinese community to the Malay Archipelago had led to the strengthening of the Malay language and its civilization. Historians of ancient civilization, elucidate that language plays a crucial role in fostering relations between the speaker and others. The people of the Peninsular of Malaya started interacting using various languages like Malay, Chinese and Tamil. This led to the accommodation and assimilation of culture and the sprucing up of the Malay vocabulary. Thus, this article describes the history of the migration of the Indian and Chinese community to the Malay Archipelago and their interaction with the language, culture and the build-up of the Malay civilization. Besides, this article also discusses about the loan words from the different ethnic groups which have enriched the Malay language
Meditation Awareness Training (MAT) for work-related wellbeing and job performance: a randomised controlled trial
No full textDue to its potential to concurrently improve work-related wellbeing (WRW) and job performance, occupational stakeholders are becoming increasingly interested in the applications of meditation. The present study conducted the first randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of meditation on outcomes relating to both WRW and job performance. Office-based middle-hierarchy managers (n = 152) received an eight-week meditation intervention (Meditation Awareness Training; MAT) or an active control intervention. MAT participants demonstrated significant and sustainable improvements (with strong effect sizes) over control-group participants in levels of work-related stress, job satisfaction, psychological distress, and employer-rated job performance. There are a number of novel implications: (i) meditation can effectuate a perceptual shift in how employees experience their work and psychological environment and may thus constitute a cost-effective WRW intervention, (ii) meditation-based (i.e., present-moment-focussed) working styles may be more effective than goal-based (i.e., future-orientated) working styles, and (iii) meditation may reduce the separation made by employees between their own interests and those of the organizations they work for

Hubungan antara faktor-faktor demografi dengan kriteria profesionalisme Islam dalam memperkasa budaya kerja organisasi di Malaysia
No full textKajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti hubungan antara faktor-faktor demografi dengan kriteria profesionalisme Islam dalam memperkasa budaya kerja organisasi. Faktor-faktor demografi yang dikenalpasti adalah terdiri daripada umur, jantina, tempoh berkhidmat, tahap pendidikan, jawatan dan bahagian. Manakala kriteria profesionalisme Islam terdiri daripada memahami tanggungjawab sebagai hamba Allah, memahami fungsi profesion, berilmu pengetahuan serta mempunyai kemahiran dalam menyelesaikan masalah, kemahiran membuat keputusan, kemahiran komunikasi dan kemahiran kepimpinan. Kajian ini menumpukan kepada Jabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia (JKDM) yang melibatkan ibu pejabat Jabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia di Putrajaya. Lokasi dipilih berdasarkan kepada terdapatnya kesemua bahagian dan pemusatan ibu pejabat JKDM. Sebanyak 198 borang soal selidik telah berjaya diedarkan. Responden terdiri daripada pegawai pengurusan dan profesional di JKDM. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa faktor-faktor demografi keseluruhannya tidak mempunyai hubungan signifikan dan positif dengan kriteria profesionalisme Islam. Ini menunjukkan faktor-faktor demografi setiap responden seperti faktor tahap pendidikan dan jawatan langsung tidak memberi kesan kepada kriteria profesionalisme Islam yang ada dalam diri setiap warga kerja JKDM. Daripada analisis ini jelas memberi gambaran bahawa pengamalan etika profesionalisme Islam sangat mengutamakan aspek nilai-nilai dalaman (hati) seseorang individu. Aspek luaran (fizikal) manusia juga menjadi aspek penting bagi memperkasakan budaya kerja organisasi yang cemerlan
Applying the method of fundamental solutions to harmonic problems with singular boundary conditions
No full textThe method of fundamental solutions (MFS) is known to produce highly accurate numerical results for elliptic boundary value problems (BVP) with smooth boundary conditions, posed in analytic domains. However, due to the analyticity of the shape
functions in its approximation basis, theMFS is usually disregarded when the boundary functions possess singularities. In this work we present a modification of the classical MFS which can be applied for the numerical solution of the Laplace BVP with Dirichlet boundary conditions exhibiting jump discontinuities. In particular, a set of harmonic functions with discontinuous boundary traces is added to the MFS basis. The accuracy of the proposed method is compared with the results form the classical MFS.The financial support from Center for Computational and Stochastic Mathematics (CEMAT–IST) through Fundac¸ ˜ao para a Ciˆencia e a Tecnologia (FCT) projects PEst-OE/MAT/UI0822/2014 and EXCL/MAT-NAN/0114/2012 is gratefully acknowledged

The proposed goodyear modular mat type scrap tire floating breakwater
No full textScrap tires are proposed as a construction material for building large floating mat type breakwater devices. The Goodyear scrap tire floating breakwater assemblies are formed by securing together modular bundles of tightly interlocked scrap tires with high strength rope/cable, or special corrosion resistant steel rods. This construction procedure yields an easily installed, readily adaptable breakwater structure which has high energy absorbing capacity for normal loading conditions but which deforms and yields when subjected to overloads. The proposed designs rely on a modular bundle concept where a relatively few tires are secured together to form a small easily assemble de portable building unit which,serves as a basic building block from which giant breakwater devices can be constructed. Flotation is provided by placing a small amount of buoyant material in the crown of each tire or by filling approximately 10%) of the tires with buoyant foam. The design possibilities using scrap tire building modules are virtually limiless. Tires may be laced together to form large flat single or multiple thickness shallow mats. They may be stacked vertically in single or multiple thickness bundles like bricks in a wall to form curtain type barriers. Variutions in breakwater draft are made possible by adding modules above or below to vary the thickness and by combining constructions such as hanging a curtain on a mat structure. Also, mats with varying buoyancy may be moored on an incline for more efficient energy absorption
