The main aim of this study is to design and develop a recycling management system called ReMaS. An efficient recycling management system is important in assisting related activities in order to protect the environment, and furthermore, it also helps to educate the community, especially in universities, in practicing recycling activities in their daily lives. The development of this system is not only timely but necessary in view of the low awareness about recycling among many sections of the Malaysian community. ReMaS was built based on the prototype approach and was then appraised through a survey, in particular, to measure the system usability and user interface. The findings revealed that all the respondents agreed that the multimedia elements used in the system were appropriate and the system itself was easy to use. Thus, through a user friendly, easy to use recycling management system such as ReMaS, efforts to inculcate a high level of empathy toward keeping our environment clean .....

Student motivation plays a crucial role in general music classrooms. Among various motivation theories, Self-Determination Theory (SDT) emphasises the satisfaction of three basic psychological needs: (a) autonomy, (b) competence, and (c) relatedness, which are essential for enhancing individual motivation and well-being. This quantitative study explores how well these needs are met among Year 6 students in general music classrooms. Data were collected from students in four public primary schools using an adapted version of the Basic Psychological Needs Scale questionnaire focusing on three needs in the context of music classrooms. The descriptive analysis indicates that relatedness is the most fulfilled need, with a mean score of 3.78, followed by autonomy with a mean score of 3.61, and competence with a mean score of 3.27. The overall mean score of 3.55 across all three needs indicates that students' basic psychological needs are generally well-supported in music classrooms. These res.....

Wearable resistance (WR) is increasingly used in sports training to enhance performance by adding external loads to sport-specific movements. However, limited research has explored WR applications in Pencak Silat, particularly during jumping kicks. This study aimed to (1) determine and compare the biomechanical effects of WR loading distributions (3% of body mass at shank, thigh, combined shank and thigh, and 0% without load) on jumping front and back kicks, (2) examine the psychological effect of WR on mood responses during warm-up, and (3) evaluate the chronic effects of WR loading distributions on kicking performance after six weeks of training. A total of fifteen (N=15) athletes participated in the biomechanical analysis, sixty (N=60) in the mood response study, and forty (N=40) in the training intervention. Kinematic data, including kicking velocity, kicking time, kicking height, hip angle, and leg displacement, were analyzed using Kinovea software, while the Brunel Mood Scale mea.....
