Technology has transformed the education system, influenced economic growth, and emphasised the need for creative teaching and learning methods. This study uses the Design-Based Research (DBR) circle to look into how interactive augmented reality (AR) textbooks affect the learning and feelings of primary school students. It focuses on 2D (ARIB2D) and 3D (ARIB3D) designs by looking at the Uncanny Valley phenomenon. This research uses linear regression and ANOVA to examine both the direct effects and the mediating effects of ARIB design on student outcomes. Using linear regression and the Mann-Whitney U test, this study examines the direct effects and the mediating effects of this design on student enjoyment and learning outcomes. The Mann-Whitney U test results indicate a significant difference in favour of ARIB3D in terms of enjoyment (U = 2341.500, p = 0.027). Linear regression analysis confirms that the ARIB3D design has a positive effect on student enjoyment, which in turn contribut.....

Papaya is one of the fruit crops cultivated in Malaysia and contributed to more than USD 2 million in gross production value in the year 2022 which also threatened by plant diseases. Recently, Fusarium equiseti has been observed to cause post-harvest papaya disease in Malaysia. To date, there is limited study on the molecular processes related to the papaya defense mechanism during fungal infection. The objectives of the study are to identify the causal agent causing postharvest disease in Papaya fruit and changes in protein abundance involved in the papaya_s defense mechanism. Firstly, a fungal growth pattern was observed after incubating the samples on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), giving evidence of Fusarium involvement in the postharvest disease. F. equiseti on PDA forms fast-growing, woolly colonies with salmon to reddish-brown coloration. After successful amplification using PCR, producing distinct bands corresponding to approximately 583 bp and 576 bp for the first and second isol.....

The aim of the study is to examine Shen Jiaben's legal reforms during the late Qing's New Policies era, focusing on his inheritance and transformation of Confucian thought within this reform context. This study employs intellectual history and comparative research methodologies to delved deeply into how Shen Jiaben upheld the core tenets of Confucianism while infusing them with new meanings. The research found that Shen Jiaben not only inherited the core principles of Confucian thought in his legal reforms but also creatively transformed them through selective reinterpretation of classical texts and adaptive integration of Western legal norms. By preserving Confucian ethics such as ren (benevolence) and li (propriety) while abolishing outdated practices like corporal punishment, he reconfigured Confucianism into a "social charisma" legitimizing institutional modernization. This dual approach revitalized Confucianism as a dynamic framework mediating between civilizational heritage and l.....
