Mathematics is vital in our life and society. However, gamification ofmathematics is rare for topics such as fractions and decimals. This paper presents the development of an educational mathematics game called one slash one hundred percent (1 Slash 100%). It is the hybridization of the conventional card game and quick response (QR). This research aims to study how the respondents explore the card game to master decimal, fraction and percentage. The testing was conducted among secondary school students in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia (n=12; age=14). The respondents were asked to answer a set of questions in pre-test and post-test question. The results are promising where the analysis showed a significant difference between pre-test (M=14.3, SD=2.103) and post-test scores (M=17.6, SD=2.234). Thus, gamification of mathematics using the hybrid card game increases their mastery of decimal, fraction and percentage.  ..

The study aimed to determine the effect of Cooperative Integrated Reading Composition (CIRC) to improve students’ reading comprehension achievement, motivation, and interest. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was used for this study. Interviews were also used to support the quantitative data. A total of 54 fifth grade students from the district of Kalimantan, Banjar, Indonesiawere involved in the study. There were 28 students in the experimental group and 26 students in the control group. Quantitative data were collected from the pre and posttests and surveys, while the qualitative data came from the interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential analyses. Descriptive analysis showed the frequencies, means, and standard deviation, while the inferential statistics involved an independent t-test. The findings of the pre and posttests showed that there was a significant improvement in achievement for the experimenta.....

The  growth  of  the  graphic  design  industry  plays  an  important  role  in  the  transmission  of  messages  using  visual  communication design presentations. Thus, the lack of exposure among students to the creative and aesthetic aspects leads to problems in producing high-quality graphic works. This study discusses the application of activity and semiotic theories in analyzinggraphic production creative ideas in line with the  current pedagogy.  Based on  the  literature  review  conducted,  an  assumption framework based on  a  combination  of  semiotic  and activity  theories  was developedafter  the  reflection wasdone.  This  study  used  the  action  research  approach  on  the  MSG3023-Computer Graphics Studio course. A total of 53 Bachelor of Art Educationstudents participated in this study from the first semester of the 2017/2018 session to the second semester of the 2018/2019 session.

The embodiment of spiritual characters (supernatural characters) in saba ritual dance performance is the main focus of this study. Through the qualitative method with the ethnography approach, this work seeks to explain the relationship between behaviour and culture. An analysis was done through the cosmology theory application which observes that the natural phenomenon covers real and supernatural events also the position of the people in it. The relationship between man and nature creates creativity in works of art. The work created is a mark of the existence of the cosmological relationship of the artist and his religious belief. This is related to the four cosmic elements namely soil, water, fire, and wind. The works of art are also believed to have their soul. The application of cosmology theory integrates the existence of the physical and the metaphysic cosmic dimensions that underlie the views of the practitioners in regarding the saba ritual dance as a ritual for healing. The d.....

Supplier selection is the most crucial element in a hypermarket’s supply chain system. This paper verifies the past research framework of supplier selection criteria by developing a supplier selection decision support model based on the modified Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the integrated Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) model. Methodology - This paper presents a methodology to develop a theoretical model and literature analysis is executed in the area of supplier selection decision support model. Stratified sampling was chosen as sampling technique in this study to select hypermarket located in Selangor, Malaysia. All standalone Giant hypermarkets were selected. A combined theory model for the supplier selection employed the typical stages of the supplier selection process: data gathering, AHP calculation, SCOR evaluation, and the implementation of decision making. Findings - An increase in the market’s competitive edge, this paper highlights the current hypermar.....

There is hardly any forum pertaining to India-Japan relations without a reference to India’s Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing? (1983), portraying a retired soldier after WWII who makes his living by collecting empty wine bottles, caused an immediate sensation and was nominated for 11 Golden Horse Awards. Not being able to speak, he substitutes the vendor’s cry of the five Taiwanese syllables jiu gan tan buei bo? (any wine bottles for sale?) with a five-note tune played on a trumpet. This tune, which echoes throughout the entire film, quickly permeated Taiwanese consciousness. This paper examines the multifunctional role of this simple motif, a descent of three neighboring pentatonic pitches. Acting at first as the vendor’s voice to collect bottles, this motif later becomes a way to cheer up and communicate with Mei, the abandoned baby girl he found. It soon symbolizes Mei’s pain, humiliation (her schoolmates sing it to tease her), and desire to escape from poverty. It also represents.....
