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.....

Tujuan utama kajian ini adalah untuk membangunkan aplikasi pengajaran penulisan mudah alih bagi perkembangan penulisan murid Tahun Satu. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan penyelidikan kuantitatif dengan fokus kepada kaedah penyelidikan tinjauan. Pembangunan aplikasi mudah alih ini adalah berdasarkan model pengajaran ADDIE yang melibatkan fasa analisis, fasa reka bentuk, fasa pembangunan, fasa pelaksanaan dan fasa penilaian. Untuk fasa analisis, soalan berstruktur telah diedarkan kepada guru-guru bagi mengukur tahap penulisan murid. Dapatan daripada fasa analisis menunjukkan 30 peratus murid Tahun Satu dapat menulis dengan tulisan yang jelas dan betul, manakala selebihnya memerlukan bimbingan dalam aspek tanda baca dan tulisan yang jelas. Seterusnya, fasa reka bentuk melibatkan tiga pakar yang terdiri daripada pensyarah daripada Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam (IPTA), Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG), dan Bahagian Pembangunan Kurikulum (BPK) Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM). Dapatan .....

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.....

The purpose of this study was to investigate essential oils content, phytochemicals, computational modelling and bioactivities of four Knema species (Myristicaceae). Essential oils were extracted via hydrodistillation and were analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Phytochemicals were isolated using silica gel column chromatography and their chemical structures were elucidated via spectroscopic methods including nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Computational studies were performed to assess the binding of isolated compounds to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), and their antibiofilm activities. The major components of the four Knema essential oils were as following: K. intermedia (_-muurolol, 20.1%), K. malayana (_-cadinene, 20.2%), K. hookeriana (_-caryophyllene, 26.2%), and K. furfuracea (bicyclogermacrene, 23.1%). Phytochemical investigati.....

Social entrepreneurship represents a novel methodology for tackling global social issues. Despite increasing global interest, less knowledge exists regarding how social enterprises efficiently utilize the abilities of autistic individuals, especially within the Malaysian context. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the realm of social entrepreneurship in Malaysia and examine how it creates social value for autistic individuals by recognizing the distinct problems they encounter. A qualitative methodology was employed, utilizing data gathered from semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation. A thematic analysis was performed on data collected from six social enterprises in the Klang Valley that predominantly assist autistic individuals. Findings reveal several key themes, such as high unemployment rates among autistic individuals, pathways to inclusion and empowerment, the existence of support systems, and structural challenges within the social entrepreneurship ec.....

Lagu Melayu Asli (LMA) has evolved in the cultural and musical landscape from generations. However, there are concerns regarding the singing style, especially in identifying its aesthetics which draws limited, formulaic, and stagnant form of singing style. Disparities of paradigms influential to conflicts over what is measured _authentic._ In reality, the vocal tradition is impractical to be measured in the facet of authenticity as its aesthetics evolve with time and relevance to different phenomena and eras. The researcher argues that this matter needs to be dismantled to provide the singing style of LMA with farther perspectives. Henceforth, LMA singing style should supply individuality, with each singer consuming their unique approach, rather than conforming to the same style. Upon achieving a foundational understanding towards fundamental elements of singing style and composition, it is imperative for singers to intricately blend their individual artistic expression with a discipli.....
