FLL1 gene encodes an endogenous oil palm lipase that influence the innate quality of palm oil. While the genetic information is well-documented, FLL1 characteristics at the protein level remained unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to express and characterize recombinant protein FLL1 to understand its physical and chemical properties. FLL1 was efficiently expressed in Rosetta_ (DE3) pLysS competent cells using pFLL1-pGEX6P2 at 37 _C with 0.4 mM IPTG at A660 0.9. A purification method for producing high-purity FLL1 protein was established through affinity and ion exchange chromatography, suitable for downstream characterization and application. FLL1 enzyme activity peaked at 40 _C, and demonstrated its thermal stability by retaining 50 % of its activity after four hours of incubation at a similar temperature. FLL1 functioned best at pH 7 (PBS buffer) and remained highly stable at pH 8 (PBS and Tris-HCl buffers). Low LogPo/w organic solvents, especially isopropanol, significantly enha.....

This study aimed to develop a Differentiated Pedagogy Module for the topic of basic operations in Year Five Mathematics, with specific emphasis on multiplication and division. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the level of need, validity, and usability of the developed module. A quantitative approach was employed through the (Design and Development Research, DDR) methodology. Data collection was carried out using questionnaire instruments. In Phase 1, the needs analysis involved 12 teachers, while Phase 3 focused on evaluating the module_s usability by 50 teachers. Two sets of questionnaires were used in this study, one set for expert evaluation, and another set comprising two parts to gather user feedback. Data were analysed using SPSS software. The findings revealed that the developed module achieved a high level of validity based on expert evaluation, with a validity score of 89.3%. In terms of usability, the findings showed that most items received high mean scores, rang.....

Kajian ini memfokuskan kepada pembangunan dan penilaian Modul Pendidikan Kesihatan berasaskan buku cerita grafik untuk mencegah masalah bantut dalam kalangan kanak-kanak prasekolah serta meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang pemakanan sihat. Masalah bantut merupakan isu kesihatan yang serius, namun pendekatan interaktif menggunakan bahan visual seperti buku cerita grafik masih kurang diterokai dalam pendidikan kesihatan awal kanak-kanak. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk membangunkan dan menilai modul yang menangani isu ini. Pendekatan Penyelidikan Reka Bentuk dan Pembangunan (DDR) digunakan, merangkumi tiga fasa utama. Fasa I melibatkan analisis keperluan melalui tinjauan terhadap 86 responden, termasuk guru, pegawai pendidikan awal kanak-kanak, dan pegawai pemakanan. Fasa II memberi tumpuan kepada mereka bentuk dan membangunkan modul serta buku cerita grafik dengan input daripada 10 pakar dalam bidang pendidikan awal kanak-kanak, pemakanan, grafik, dan penulisan buku cerita kanak-kanak.....

This study examined the temporal effects of mood and physical activity on subsequent night sleep quality and investigated the differences between objective and subjective sleep measures. Using a within-subject daily process method, 112 participants (81.3% female, mean age = 21.91 years) monitored their mood, physical activity, and sleep over seven days in natural environments. Mood was self-reported using mood diary, while physical activity was recorded via actigraphy (Philips AW2). Sleep quality _ total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (SE), sleep onset latency (SOL), and sleep quality rating _ was measured using actigraphy and sleep diary. Participants also completed questionnaires on demographics, Insomnia Severity Index, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Multilevel modeling of 784 observations revealed that physical activity, mood disturbance, and overall mood rating did not predict TST, SE, and SOL measured using actigraphy. However, sle.....

This study investigates the relationship between self-concept, achievement goals, and learning environment on motivation among fine art undergraduates in Shandong, China. It fills an identified gap by exploring how self-concept, achievement goals, and learning environment interact to shape motivation in fine art contexts academically, which has received limited empirical and practical focus. Self-concept, comprising self-perception and self-efficacy, was measured to assess its influence on motivation. Achievement goals, which included mastery and performance, were evaluated for their effects on persistence and engagement in artistic tasks. Learning environment factors, including classroom climate and resource availability, were analyzed for their support or hindrance of motivation. The mixed-methods design utilized surveys with 373 respondents for quantitative correlations and semistructured interviews with 20 respondents. The surveys were administered between January and March 2025, i.....
