A high intake of antioxidants in a daily diet could reduce the risk of several diseases, including certain cancers and heart disease. Tomato is one of the rich sources of antioxidant compounds. However, it has a relatively short postharvest life due to several factors such as postharvest diseases, accelerated ripening and senescence that hasten the losses in quantity and quality. Chitosan and vanillin could be an alternative to disease control, maintain the quality and prolong the shelf life of fruit. This research aimed to evaluate the potential of chitosan and vanillin coating on tomato antioxidant properties during storage at 26±2°C and 60±5% relative humidity. Chitosan and vanillin in aqueous solutions of 0.5% chitosan + 10 mM vanillin, 1% chitosan + 10 mM vanillin, 1.5% chitosan + 10 mM vanillin, 0.5% chitosan + 15 mM vanillin 1% chitosan + 15 mM vanillin and 1.5% chitosan + 15 mM vanillin, respectively, were used as edible coating on tomato fruit. The analysis was evaluated at.....

Numerous students suffer from academic procrastination; it is a common problem and phenomenon in academic settings. Many previous researchers have analyzed its relationships with other factors, such as self-regulation and academic success. This paper aims to provide a full outline of academic procrastination and explore the current hot spots and trends. Bibliometrix and VOSviewer were used to conduct quantitative analysis. The data was collected from the Web of Science core collection database, which contains 1,240 articles from the years 1938 to 2021. The analysis shows that the publication of articles on academic procrastination has been rapidly increasing since 1993. In terms of the most influential countries and institutions, the United states took a prominent lead among all countries, and the most productive institutions in this area were the University of Washington and University of California, Los Angeles. By analyzing the authors, we see that most authors like working with a f.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti tahap amalan Kepimpinan Teragih (KT) guru besar dan tahap Sikap Guru Terhadap Perubahan (SGTP) di Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) dan Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) di Semenanjung Malaysia. Kajian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti sama ada terdapat perbezaan signifikan tahap amalan KT dan SGTP di antara SK dan SJKC. Selain itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti hubungan antara KT dan SGTP; dan bagaimana dimensi-dimensi amalan KT menyumbang kepada SGTP di SK dan SJKC. Kajian ini berbentuk kuantitatif dengan mengaplikasikan pendekatan tinjauan soal selidik. Dengan menggunakan cara persampelan rawak berstrata tidak berkadar, seramai 763 orang guru dari SK dan SJKC telah dipilih dan menyempurnakan soal selidik berkenaan. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensi. Dapatan menunjukkan tahap amalan KT di SK (M=4.03; SP=.40) dan SJKC (M=3.99; SP=.45) berada pada tahap tinggi manakala SGTP berada dalam kuadra.....

The ores of Big Karatau are a valuable, currently unused source of rare and rare earth elements (REEs). To develop an integrated technology for processing black shale ore, it was studied using chemical, X-ray phase, infrared, mineralogical, X-ray spectral, and electron microscopic analyses. Rare and particularly REEs in the ore are found in various minerals in the form of inclusions in the siliceouscarbonaceous matrix. This explains the failures of the previously proposed processing methods, which either resulted in the incomplete extraction of the valuable components or were not profitable. For more complete extraction, novel ore processing approaches are required. A method for the early development of the original black shale ore using sintering with (NH4)2SO4 in the presence of concentrated H2SO4, followed by leaching of the cake with a diluted H2SO4 solution, is proposed. The optimal conditions for each stage are determined. The kinetic dependencies of the extraction of rare and .....

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of governance and administrative mechanism on the distribution performance of zakat institutions; and to determine the differences in distribution performance across four types of zakat organizational structure in Malaysia. Secondary data were employed in obtaining data from 2010 to 2016. Tobit and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression were used for the purpose of hypothesis testing, as well as the Kruskal-Wallis test. Regression analyses found that governance mechanisms of board size (P=0.070; p=0.001) and audit committee meetings (P=0.178; p=0.001) were positively correlated with financial efficiency of distribution performance. Besides, board size (P=0.031; p=0.001), board meetings (P=0.049; p=0.001), summary of audit committee report (P=0.143; p=0.001) and shariah committee meetings (P=0.075; p=0.001) were significantly associated with quality of distribution performance (R2=0. 740). Conversely, administrative mechanism of bank a.....

The popular game genre, multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), contain addictive features. Concerns arise when gamers experience adverse consequences, particularly Internet gaming disorder’s (IGD) symptoms. An examination of determinants is crucial to develop a clearer picture of IGD. Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT) was applied to ground the formation of the conceptual framework. There are several research objectives: (1) to identify the cut-off value of the nine-item IGD Scale (short form) and determine the prevalence rate of the disordered group, (2) examine the predictive effects of social phobia, depression, motivations of gaming (achievement, socialisation, and immersion), and identification of avatar on IGD’s symptoms, and (3) explore the mediating effect of identification of avatar among the relationships. The present study applied translation and adaption of the used measures. The conceptual translation was performed to ensure the original meanings of items .....

Existing toxic solvents in the manufacturing of polymeric membranes have been raising concerns due to the risks of exposure to health and the environment. Furthermore, the lower tensile strength of the membrane renders these membranes unable to endure greater pressure during water treatment. To sustain a healthier ecosystem, fabrication of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane using a less toxic solvent, triethyl phosphate (TEP), with a lower molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) (0–3 wt.%) additive were experimentally demonstrated via a phase inversion-based spinning technique at various air gap (10, 20 and 30 cm). Membrane with 2 wt.% of PEG 400 exhibited the desired ultrafiltration asymmetric morphology, while 3 wt.% PEG 400 resulting microfiltration. The surface roughness, porosity, and water flux performance increased as the loading of PEG 400 increased. The mechanical properties and contact angle of the fabricated membrane were influenced by the air gap .....
