Student-lecturing is an innovative teaching model which allows students to express their problem-solving strategies and ways of thinking using mathematical language. It not only allows students to demonstrate their thinking process, but also creates a relaxed classroom environment for students to overcome their fear of expressing mathematics, thus changing their attitude toward mathematics. However, the traditional teaching methods place students in a passive accepting position, causing them to believe that mathematics is difficult and dull, leading to a loss of interest in Mathematics. This study analyzed the effect of the student-lecturing teaching model on student attitude toward mathematics through a one-and -half-year controlled-experiment with eighth-grade students in Shaoguan, China. The result of this study shows that the student-lecturing teaching model not only helps to develop students' problem-solving and communication skills, but also gives students the opportunity to expr.....

Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is widely consumed and appreciated not only due to its taste and aroma and to its nutritional and antioxidant properties, including its vitamin C and phenolic contents. In an attempt to explore new antioxidant leads, pineapple waste is often neglected in the pineapple industry. Fruit processing has considerably higher ratios of by-products and pineapple by-products are not exceptions as they consist basically of the residual pulp, peels, stem, and leaves. Pineapple waste is a by-product resulting from canning processing of pineapple that produces about 35% of fruit waste and leads to serious environmental pollution. The objective of this study is to determine whether different varieties and parts of pineapple waste (peel, core, crown, and stalk) can affect and give the highest amount of natural antioxidant activity. In this study, the antioxidant activities of different parts of three pineapples (N36, Madu, and MD2 were measured using the DPPH method. Methano.....

The application of biopesticides is progressively encouraged for its advantages associated with environmental safety and high biodegradability. The objectives of this study were to compare the phytochemical constituents, anti-feedant, and molluscicidal activities of spices against the giant African land snail, Achatina fulica. The spices evaluated were clove (Syzygium aromaticum), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), black pepper (Piper nigrum), cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum). Phytochemical constituents of spices were screened by qualitative standard protocols. Anti-feedant activity was investigated by the leaf disc no-choice bioassay method and molluscicidal activity was evaluated by a 72-h contact toxicity test. The phytochemical screening showed positive results for tannins, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenols in clove, cinnamon, cumin and coriander ethanolic extracts whereas only tannins, alkaloids and terpenoids were found in the black pepp.....

The main objective of this study is to examine the effect of perceived organisational support (POS), perceived co-worker support (PCWS), and job embeddedness (JE) on employee retention (ER) in Malaysian private universities. The respondents are fulltime academic staff working at Malaysian private universities. The stratified sampling technique was used to collect data for this study. The results of the pre-testing and pilot study are satisfactory. All data had been analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 16 and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings of this study indicated that the total and direct effects of POS on ER are significant (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that JE partially mediates the relationship between POS and ER. However, there is no direct relationship between PCWS and ER. ER cannot be increased by providing high PCWS directly. It should go through JE as a mediator. This stud.....
