Tujuan kajian ini dijalankan bagi menentukan sejauh mana pengaruh faktor kontekstual (pengetahuan Pentaksiran Bilik Darjah (PBD), polisi pendidikan, kekangan masa, bebanan kerja) dan kepercayaan terhadap amalan PBD dalam kalangan guru sekolah rendah di daerah Kinta Selatan, Perak. Seramai 391 orang guru sekolah rendah dalam daerah Kinta Selatan, Perak dipilih sebagai sampel kajian menggunakan kaedah pensampelan rawak kelompok. Data kajian diperoleh menggunakan instrumen soal selidik yang diadaptasi dan disesuaikan (adapt and adopt) daripada kajian lepas. Instrumen kajian ini juga mengandungi lima konstruk iaitu pengetahuan PBD, polisi pendidikan, kekangan masa, bebanan kerja dan kepercayaan yang dikonseptual berdasarkan Model Kognisi Guru Borg dan Teori Ekologi Bronfenbrenner. Kaedah analisis yang digunakan ialah analisis statistik deskriptif (min dan sisihan piawai) dan inferensi (regresi berganda). Dapatan analisis deskriptif, menunjukkan pengetahuan PBD, polisi pendidika.....

This study aimed to examine the technological innovation and its effect on operation efficiency of the Oil and Gas Sector of the United Arab Emirates. The causal research design was employed through quantitative research methodology, using selfadministered online surveys for data collection. The purposive sampling technique selected 253 respondents of 5 ADNOC group and its subsidiaries from ADNOC Onshore, ADNOC Offshore, ADNOC Drilling, ADNOC Sour Gas and ADNOC LNG.. The study used regression, correlational, and descriptive statistics to analyse the proposed conceptual framework where after regression, Advanced Robotics significantly predicted OPE, F(1, 251) = 590.627, p < 0.001, which indicates that AR can plays a significant role in shaping OPE (b = 0.821, p < 0.001) hence HI supported. Autonomous under Water Vehicles significantly predicted OPE, F(1, 251) = 761.505, p < 0.001, which indicates that AU can play a significant role in shaping OPE (b = 0.867, p < 0.001). Arti.....

The genus Lindera consists of approximately 100 species that are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world. It is represented by widely well-known medicinal and aromatic plants that produce various phytochemicals with potential pharmacological actions. This review attempts to summarize the information on the phytochemicals of Lindera species together with their biological properties. The data and information were collected via an electronic search engine which are Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, and SciFinder. Sesquiterpenes represent the major chemical compounds that have been characterised in Lindera species, as well as alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolics. These compounds were shown to possess anticancer, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antioxidant, anti-arthritic, cytotoxic, antiallergic, and antihyperlipidemic properties. The outcome of these studies will further support the therapeutic potential of the genus Lindera and p.....

This study aims to examine the relationships between university graduates’ entrepreneurial orientation, university characteristics, and learning orientation and identify whether these variables are significant in influencing graduate employability. This study adopted a quantitative approach, where the sample consisted of 424 respondents among students who graduated between 2015 to 2019 from 20 public universities in Malaysia. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed using Google Forms. A stratified random sampling method was used to identify the sample. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics analysed the frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation of the data, while correlation and multiple linear regression data analysis were used for inferential statistics. The findings from correlation and multiple regression analysis showed that all three variables, namely university characteristics (B = .486), (.....

Biomedical laboratory plays an important role in the healthcare system by providing services for medical screening, diagnosis, and treatment selection, which is the backbone of a healthcare system. The growing demand for complex testing has placed biomedical laboratories under heavy pressure, leading to an increase in collaboration and bridging the service gaps among laboratories. During the COVID-19 pandemic, laboratories around the globe struggled to perform a large number of COVID-19 laboratory tests every day, as the country combats through the outbreak. This review provides an overview of biomedical laboratory settings and assurance, and discusses current biomedical laboratory practices and their level of digitalisation in Malaysia and a few other countries, such as the United States, Europe, Saudi Arabia, and Africa, during the outbreak. Despite the variety of laboratory practices in different countries, digitalisation remains important in supporting the healthcare system during .....

This study investigated the effect of peer interaction on mathematical understanding during learning activities among primary school students. This study gives an overview of how peer interaction impacts student understanding of mathematics. It enlightens educators and learners on the importance of communication in the teaching and learning process, especially in mathematics. The objectives of this study are to investigate students’ peer interaction during learning activities and to study the effects of their interaction on their understanding of mathematics while completing their mathematics group tasks. This study employed the qualitative approach. Four Year 5 students, aged between 10 and 11 years old, have been selected through purposive sampling as respondents. The data collected were the recorded videos of the mathematics lessons on the selected subtopics. Based on the findings, peer interaction among the respondents significantly affects their understanding. The communication .....

The trichome of 12 species from five genera of the Lamiaceae family, comprising Petraeovitex bambusetorum, Petraeovitex membranacea, Petraeovitex wolfei, Petraeovitex scortechinii, Petraeovitex trifoliata, Peronema canescens, Congea forbesii, Congea griffithiana, Sphenodesme racemosa, Sphenodesme triflora, Sphenodesme pentandra, and Rotheca serrata was investigated under scanning electron microscope (SEM). This study aimed to assess their ultrastructure and ascertain their respective taxonomic value accordingly. Two types of glandular trichomes, specifically peltate and capitate, and three types of non-glandular trichomes, namely, multicellular uniseriate, stellate, and conical were thus observed. The stellate type of non-glandular trichome was solely found in S. pentandra among the 12 studied species, while the data further demonstrated both Congea species to reflect the multicellular uniseriate structure on the respective leaf surfaces, whereas C. forbesii depicted the longest length.....

Mahanimbine, a prenylated carbazole found primarily in the Rutaceae family, has remarkable biological features such as anticancer, antidiabetic and antioxidant. Therefore, it is intriguing to tweak the mahanimbine structure with the aim of adding extra value to their activity. Three new derivatives were semi-synthesised by N-alkylation of naturally isolated mahanimbine using alkyl bromides, yielding N-butylmahanimbine, N-(3-methylbutyl) mahanimbine, and N-benzylmahanimbine. The structures of N-alkylated mahanimbines were elucidated using different spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, GCMS, and NMR). Keywords: mahanimbine, alkylation, N-terminal, derivative, Murraya..
