The essential oil composition from the leaves of Strychnos axillaris Colebr. (Loganiaceae) growing in Malaysia was examined for the first time. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and fully characterized by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In total, 15 components were identified in the essential oil, which made up 87.2% of the total oil. The essential is composed mainly of ?-ionone (20.2%), ?-ionone (19.5%), bicyclogermacrene (19.2%), and geranyl acetate (10.2%). ? 2021, Badebio Biotechnololgy Ltd. All rights reserved...

The present study aims to examine the chemical composition of the essential oils of the leaves of Garcinia nigrolineata. The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation and characterized by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In total, 37 chemical components were identified in the essential oil which made up 98.3 % of the total oil composition. The essential oil is composed mainly of ?-caryophyllene (25.2 %), ?-humulene (12.8 %), valencene (6.2 %), ?-cadinol (5.8 %), and germacrene D (5.5 %). To the best of the authors? knowledge, this is the initial study that has looked into the essential oil composition of Garcinia nigrolineata collected from Malaysia. ? 2021, University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering.

Increasing complexity towards harnessing the power of ICT on all levels has created uncertainty about higher educational technological capabilities and adequate strategies to develop e-readiness. In this study, an empirically grounded higher education e-readiness questionnaire in the domain of higher education was developed and validated. Exploratory factor analysis (n =�120) followed by confirmatory factor analysis (n =�336) was done which was presented in two forms; covariance model and the structural model. The covariance model showed that the 5 indicators (?Innovativeness?, ?Infrastructure?, ?Collaboration?, ?Learning flexibility?, ?Student experience?) and assigned 24 items were important e-readiness dimensions from the learners? point of view. The structural models validated the previously extracted factors along with their indicators. As a practical tool, the e-readiness tool could assist institutions towards identifying issues that contribute towards e-readiness thereby for.....

The study aimed to examine environmental sustainability practices among youths in Muallim District, Perak, Malaysia. This study applied a quantitative method comprising questionnaires with 400 youths aged 19 to 40. A simple random sampling method was used to divide the respondents into groups of two. Most variables (including knowledge, values and skills) were at high levels, but the environmental sustainability skills variable was only at a moderate level, with a mea score between 2.34 until 3.66. The findings also revealed a strong significant relationship between knowledge, values and environmental sustainability skills and environmental sustainability practices (p..

Pandemic COVID-19 adversely affects all aspects of life. Industries and transportation reduce its activities, causing a decline in demand for logistics significantly. In Indonesia, 2.8 people predicted will be laid off, 2.9-5.2 million people lose a job, unemployment will increase to 7.5%, poverty increases to 27.5 million people (10.2%), economic growth minus 5.32%. On the other side, the air quality index decreased from 155 at the end of March to 69 in April. The indicator of air quality (PM 2.5) decreased from 63.4 ug/m3 to be 20.8 ug/m3. However, there has been increased in the amount of medical waste and energy consumption. This research aims to identify the impacts of pandemic COVID-19 on the environment and the commitment of the government to deal with climate change-related to SDGs. The result of research shows that the new normal increases the number of people infected by COVID-19 significantly. The government's commitment to dealing with climate change is decreased due to the.....

This study explores the effects of financial literacy and financial behaviour on entrepreneurial motivation among accounting students in Malaysia?s public universities. University students? financial literacy level and financial behaviour level are also explored. This study employed a quantitative survey method and used twenty financial items and ten entrepreneurship motivation items to answer the research questions. A total of 530 accounting undergraduates from three public universities in Malaysia were given a financial and entrepreneurial test. To get results, data were analysed using mean and frequency analysis, a reliability test, Pearson?s product-moment analysis and regressions. Our findings demonstrated that the accounting students? financial literacy and financial behaviour was at a moderate level. However, accounting students possessed a high level of entrepreneurship motivation. Supporting past research, this study found that financial literacy and financial behaviour affect.....
