While fatty acids found in human milk account for half of the energy consumed by exclusively breastfed infants, fatty acids such as monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) plays critical roles in infant growth. Fatty acids components in human milk are vary widely accordance to the maternal diet during lactation but has not been sufficiently studied. The objective of this paper was to determine the correlation between maternal macronutrient intake with human milk’s fatty acids composition among exclusively breastfeeding mothers. A total of N=36 lactating mothers were recruited based on convenience sampling basis from Dengkil, Selangor and Kuantan, Pahang. A 24-hour dietary recall (24HR) was used to capture mother’s dietary intake in the past 24 hours. The human milk sample was collected in the next day morning after the diet recall and stored before proceeded to another fatty acids extraction and transesterification process namely Blig.....

This study examines the relationship between exchange rate and crude oil price of five Southeast Asia countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Singapore from January 1979 to January 2022 using monthly data. Augmented Dickey-Fuller test is used to examine the stationarity of the data. DCC-GARCH model is used to investigate the correlation between oil price and exchange rate. The result shows that skewness, kurtosis, autocorrelation and ARCH effects were found in both oil price and exchange rate. Results suggested that both short run persistence (α) and long run persistence(β) are found to be highly significant for oil price and exchange rate of all countries except Indonesia. Furthermore, the correlation coefficients vary over times for all the countries studied. Negative relationship was found between oil price and exchange rate over most of the periods studied in all countries studied...

Social media is fast becoming a medium for encouraging interaction and collaborative learning among learners and instructors. Examining the factors affecting social media adoption in higher education is still in short supply. These factors fluctuate from one study to the other due to variations in characteristics, including settings, participants, and infrastructure. Thus, it can be argued that there is a need for a comprehensive model that could measure the students’ adoption of social media under any situation regardless of the characteristics above. Accordingly, this study develops a social media-based educational framework using the social constructivism theory (SCT). To evaluate the adoption of the developed framework, this study is believed to be the first that develops a comprehensive theoretical model by extending the TAM with the most frequent external factors that achieved significant results in the previous literature. The PLS-SEM is employed to validate the dev.....
