Fasting months will affect the nutritional intake of football players. They will start fasting from sunrise until sunset and do not even consume water. However, the training session still needs to be conducted to prepare the players for the league. Maintaining their strength and muscle mass still becomes an essential and crucial factor. In that sense, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of a fasting month on resistance training outcomes, specifically on the player's muscle mass and body fat percentage. Twenty-eight youth football players were purposively selected for this study, and they were randomly divided into the control group (CG) (n=14) and the resistance training group (RT) (n=14). Both groups underwent the same cycle of fasting time, including early morning meals, after-sunset dinners, and regular football training sessions. The CG group did not engage in any resistance training program for the study, whereas the RT group completed 65% of 1RM for bench press, pl.....

A body-scaling approach, namely pi ratios, has been developed to provide systematic guidelines for manipulating junior sports. This approach is used to reduce the constraints in junior sports as efficiently as possible, facilitating children to learn the skills quickly. Therefore, the study aimed to examine the best racquet size by demonstrating a body-scaling approach to modify racquets using arm length-to-racquet length ratios. A total of twelve boys with one to two years of badminton experience participated in the study. The arm length of participants was measured to create arm length-to-racquet length ratios. Participants executed badminton skill tests (e.g., short serve, clear, and drop) using three types of racquets which were racquets A (1.1:1.0), B (1.0:1.0), and C (0.9:1.0). One-way ANOVA with repeated measures was conducted to compare the scores in all badminton skills tests across the three types of racquets. The findings of this study showed that participants performed best.....

The acceptance sampling is a technique for ensuring that both producers and consumers are satisfied with the product's quality. This paper proposes a new group chain sampling plan (NGChSP) using Log-logistic distribution when the life test is truncated at a predetermined time. The minimum number of groups, g and the probability of lot acceptance, L(p) are determined through satisfying the consumer's risk, ? under the specified design parameter. This paper shows that the minimum number of groups, g decreases when the value of design parameters such as ?, a, i and r increases. With the same design parameters, the minimum g increases when the shape parameter increases. Moreover, the L(p) increases as shape parameter and minimum g increases. An illustrative example for NGChSP is provided. The findings suggest that as the test time termination constant decreases, the minimum g increases. Furthermore, as the mean ratio, 0 increases, the L(p) increases as well. In 1 comparison to GChSP, the N.....

The study of ethnomathematics has grown significantly over the decades, especially for teaching academic mathematics in schools. However, only a small number of studies comprehensively examine research trends in the use of ethnomathematics for mathematics learning. Thus, research trends for the years 2018 to 2022 were thoroughly analyzed through systematic literature reviews referring to the standards of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). This review found 24 journal articles from the top indexing databases called Scopus and Eric. The finding of the SLR indicate that two types of ethnomathematics research are found if categorized based on the research data source. The cultural forms used in ethnomathematics research into three categories: ideas, activities, and artifacts. Indonesian researchers (n=19) dominated the collected studies as systematic review only included publications published in English. The categorization of the studies are ethnom.....

Purpose: This paper aims to analyse the implementation of istibdal waqf property in several states of Peninsular Malaysia. To achieve this objective, this study identified the amount of waqf property am (general) and waqf property khas (special) which were involved in the process of istibdal in each state, the factors that have caused the istibdal to be implemented, the rate of istibdal involved for each lot of waqf lands and the type of property replacement performed. Design/methodology/approach: This study used the qualitative method, whereby the researchers had collected secondary data consisting of documents related to waqf from the State Islamic Religious Council (MAIN). The type of documents obtained were public records. The data collected were analysed using the content analysis techniques. Findings: The results showed that there are several factors involved in the implementation of istibdal, namely, the acquisition of waqf land by the State Authority, applications by external p.....

Cyber ethics awareness and education is crucial when children surf the internet especially during the Covid-19 pandemic situations where internet use is a common norm. During the pandemic, children from preschool until secondary school level had to stay at home and learn online (Teaching and Learning at Home (PdPR)). In this study, interviews are conducted to parents on how children surf the internet during the pandemic and how parents monitor and advise their children. The findings of this research suggest that parental monitoring of children related to cyber issues is equally important for the children. Parents are noticeably given a lot of advice regarding the appropriate way of communicating when playing games, the types of games played by children, the commandments and prohibitions of Allah in Islam, and also the safety and healths concern of children when playing games. Not only that, but parents also suggested to government agency such as Malaysian Communications and Multimedia .....

With the modernization of biomedical image equipment and image processing technology, the amount of medical image data increases rapidly. These medical images need to be transmitted over a public network between doctors or hospitals to provide telemedicine services and sometimes need to be uploaded to a telemedicine data center or health cloud due to limited local computing and storage resources. Medical images involve confidential and sensitive information of patients, and the confidentiality technology to protect patient privacy is becoming more and more important. These problems have been studied by many scholars, but these studies are largely limited and scattered. To the authors knowledge, there is no systematic literature review related to medical image confidentiality technology. To provide valuable insights into the technical environment and to support researchers, the available options and gaps in this research area must be understood. Therefore, in this study, the recent 5yea.....
