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.....

This aim of this study is to examine the impact of on-screen text on the learning performance of grammar learning of Bahasa Malaysia involving a group of primary schoolers. In addition, learners_ characteristics such as motivation and gender were also examined in this study. It was hypothesized that learners who had received redundant text explanation and animation would perform worse on memory and problem solving test. Results showed that the redundancy learning mode that integrates animation, sound narration and on-screen text in a computer-based environment helped improve students_ performance. This finding suggests that on-screen text could reduce cognitive load and enhance learning process, which leads to better performance. Keywords redundancy principle, modality principle, animation, multimedia instruction...

Perkembangan pesat dalam teknologi perkakasan dan perisian telah mengubah aplikasi komputer yang berbentuk multimedia 2D ke aplikasi yang menggunakan teknologi realiti maya. Tiga kategori realiti maya iaitu immersif, semi immersif dan tanpa immersif mula banyak digunakan dalam pelbagai domain terutamanya domain pendidikan. Kelebihan yang ditawarkan oleh teknologi realiti maya seperti kepelbagaian mod interaktiviti dan tahap interaktiviti yang tinggi, mencipta pelbagai senario, dan latihan berbentuk simulasi menyebabkan teknologi ini semakin popular di dalam domain ini. Penggunaan aplikasi realiti maya dalam domain pendidikan juga banyak memberi kebaikan seperti keselamatan, peningkatan logistik, pemahaman konsep dan keputusan penilaian psikometrik yang lebih baik berbanding dengan teknologi multimedia atau 2D. Antara faktor yang menjadikan kategori realiti maya desktop tanpa immsersif yang paling popular ialah kos, kemudahgunaan, tidak memerlukan peralatan khusus dan juga capaian melal.....

Bilingual corpora that contains similar documents of two different languages are examples of essential resources for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks including Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval (CLIR) and machine translation. Nevertheless, these resources could also be useful for many processes in learning languages. We introduce an automatic bilingual corpora generator that builds corpus resources from the web. This generator involves the use of the in-domain terms (IDT), in which the terms can be thought of as the most important contextually relevant words. The method used is simple yet practical, and makes acquiring resources from web sources more than just collecting texts and pasting them all together. However, as an on-going project, the system has not been fully implemented and evaluated. In this paper, the researchers emphasizes more on the prototype of the system in terms of appearance and display. For example, the generator shall be built on a webbased system that gi.....

This paper introduces a conceptual Teacher-Learner framework for collaborative learning with serious games. An initial study identified 12 attributes of educational serious games that can be used to support effective learning. These attributes can be applied to the development of a conceptual framework for games to support learning. A considerable number of serious games have been developed over the 10 years, with varying degrees of success. Due to a lack of clear standards and guidelines for game developers, it is difficult to justify claims that a specific game meets the learners_ requirements and/ or expectations. This paper provides an account of a conceptual framework for serious games that will guide their designs and the measurement of achievements in meeting the learners_ requirements. Keywords conceptual framework, model, serious games, teacher-learner..

Henan Province is renowned for its rich intangible cultural heritage, yet the participation of young adults in traditional cultural consumption remains low. This study aims to develop and validate a design framework to enhance young adults' purchase intentions for cultural and creative tourism products in Henan Province. Through a systematic literature review, the researcher developed the CFI-MD design framework to investigate the relationships among cultural, functional, and interactive meanings in the design of cultural and creative tourism products. Inspired by the woodcut New Year paintings from Zhuxian Town in Henan Province, the researcher designed, developed, and validated a series of cultural and creative tourism products named _Here Comes Door-God._ As an example of the CFI-MD framework, the product was evaluated using an adapted Decomposition Theory of Planned Behavior (DTPB) model, renamed as the DTPB-MD model. The DTPB-MD model incorporates three independent variables: perc.....
