Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of using the Educational Intervention (EI) (Smedley et al., 2015) to reduce plagiarism act among ESL undergraduates (70 undergraduates) taking the PPU 6022 Academic Writing course at one of the private institutions in Perak. In this study, quasi- experimental design was used to gather the quantitative data by using the Avoiding Plagiarism Test (APT) and collection of exercises and assignments. Meanwhile focus group interview was used to collect the qualitative data. The result of one way ANOVA for the post-tests between the experimental group and the control group are (F(1,68)=10.593, p=.002) for writing in-text citation, (F(1,68)=21.975, p=.000) for paraphrasing and (F(1,68)= 8.011, p =.006) for writing a reference list u.....

Jigsaw Learning Method as one of the cooperative learning strategies is known to be effective in promoting active learning and students’ engagement in the classroom. While there are many studies conducted to investigate the effects of the Jigsaw method in the classroom, studies that focuses on online learning environment are found to be limited. This quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Jigsaw Learning Method on students’ reading comprehension in online learning. A total of 50 students participated in the study where they were divided and assigned into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received treatment classes of Jigsaw Learning Method for about 4 weeks. Pre-test and post-test were administered to the students to investigate any significant difference after the intervention of the Jigsaw Learning Method. A survey was also conducted in order to attain knowledge on the students’ perceptions of the Jigsaw Learning Meth.....

The lipid composition such as fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins is the second-most abundant composition of human milk providing dietary energy to infants. Micronutrient dietary intake such as vitamin A, D, E, K and C by breastfeeding mothers plays an important role in regulating the quality of human milk for optimum infant health and growth. The objective of this paper is to determine the distribution and correlation of maternal micronutrient intake of lipid-soluble vitamin and vitamin C towards fatty acids composition in human milk of exclusively breastfeeding mothers. A total of N=36 nursing women were recruited from Dengkil, Selangor, and Kuantan, Pahang, using a convenience sample method. A 24-hour dietary recall (24HR) was performed to collect thorough information on all foods and beverages ingested in the previous 24 hours by the respondent. The data on micronutrients intake per mother was tabulated using Nutritionist Pro. (NP) software. Following the diet recall, the human sa.....

Electrocardiogram (ECG) examination is of great importance in medical diagnosis of the cardiac disease, but wrong interpretation due to noise interference in the signal could be dangerous as this may lead to wrong diagnoses of patient’s heart condition. De-noising helps to reduce the noise level for a better interpretation of the signals. In this study, an analysis of Savitzky-Golay (S-G) filter for ECG de-noising using Daubechies wavelets has been carried out using MATLAB version 2015a. Noisy ECG signals downloaded from physionet.org under MIT-BIH arrhythmia database was de-noised using S-G filter of polynomial order 9 to data frames of length 21 displayed in both time and frequency domains while a quantitative evaluation was carried out to check the performance of the filter under signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), mean square error (MSE) and signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). Results show that de-noising using S-G filter for SNR, MSE, and SIR gives an average value of 32.78dB, 0.0001 a.....

The baking industry in the Philippines is vast. The demand for baked goods has developed and evolved into a huge sector, opening up and providing more business and job options. Baked goods have become a regular component of the diet, with some serving them as dessert-like macaroons. The study investigated another food item as an option in generating a product with nutritional value and health advantages; it may also be a great aid to the community to use the availability of products to earn more money and give a better product to the public. However, this is also in reaction to the Department of Science and Technology's initiative (DOST). The experimental research design underpins the study. The experimental design theory is based on assessing the connections between and among variables; in general, one variable, the independent variable. The purpose of this study was to make macaroons with coconut curd (latik) and determine the level of acceptance and attractiveness of the macaroons w.....
