Surveys are fundamental research tools extensively used by researchers and academic experts across various fields. Their significance lies in their ability to give respondents autonomy in evaluating presented items. An essential part of crafting an effective survey involves carefully selecting scaling methods during the instrument construction phase. This study conducts a narrative literature review to analyse existing findings on the use of Likert scales, mapping out how these scales are applied to understand the interplay between scale divisions in social sciences research. Likert scales are popular in diverse fields, including social sciences, psychology, politics, and economics. However, existing methodologies for instrument construction often lack a comprehensive depiction of the most suitable scales for specific studies. This paper aims to address this gap by providing guidance and enhancing understanding for researchers in selecting appropriate and relevant scales, particularly .....

Literasi media adalah untuk mengukur penggunaan media dan keupayaan untuk menganalisis maklumat di media. Maklumat yang tidak sahih banyak tersebar di media sosial seperti Facebook, hal ini dapat menyukarkan seseorang untuk menapis dan memproses maklumat yang diterima dengan berkesan. Maklumat politik di media sosial mudah didapati secara provokatif berbanding media konvensional (TV, Radio dan suratkhabar) ini adalah kerana maklumat politik di Facebook tidak disunting menjadi bacaan umum, oleh sebab itu ia mengandungi maklumat provokasi, fitnah dan isu sensasi politik yang tidak dilaporkan dikebanyakkan media konvensional. Terdapat jurang jantina dalam penggunaan kandungan maklumat di Facebook. Ini adalah kerana lelaki lebih cenderung untuk mengetahui maklumat politik berbanding wanita menyebabkan wanita kurang penglibatan dalam bidang politik. Maklumat tidak sahih yang berkaitan dengan isu politik boleh memberi kesan kepada masyakarat dan memberi gangguan kepada politik semasa, ini ad.....

Empirical research has highlighted the persistence of gender bias over centuries despite the global initiatives to promote gender equality and remove gender bias in various spheres including education. The contents of educational materials like textbooks can exert a crucial role in shaping and reinforcing the learners’ views and perceptions especially about gender roles. Addressing gender bias in textbooks is necessary in fostering a more equitable educational environment equitable, hence, promoting equitable society for future generations. The present study examined gender bias in three ELT Indonesian textbooks for three levels of education (When English Rings a Bell for Grade VII, When English Rings a Bell for Grade VIII, and Think Globally and Act Locally for Grade IX). Specifically, it investigated the distribution, types and the representation of gender bias in these textbooks. It employed both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis to provide a more comprehensive outc.....

The Malaysian National Laureate Muhammad Haji Salleh has always been true to his green roots. Even when things are hard, he finds comfort and interest in Motherland's embrace. This paper is aimed to highlight the identity-land symbiotic interconnectedness in Muhammad Haji Salleh’s selected poems through the lens of ecocriticism. In the selected poems we examined the concept of eco-consciousness with the purpose of to better understand how Muhammad Haji Salleh view the concept of personal identity as intrinsically tied to the natural world. Upon detailed analysis of the selected poems, it becomes evident that Muhammad Haji Salleh has never ceased preaching about the plight of the Malaysian land and landscape and the urgent need for worldwide attention. His poetry proves that he utilizes the land and landscape as an iconic form of aspiration and even ecocritically functional and through the application of the concept of eco-consciousness, the researchers conclude that while there are s.....

New Schiff base [M(NaNp)(Sal)Cl2] metal complexes, where M = Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), or Fe(III), were synthesized. The Schiff base, previously prepared from the reaction of 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde and naphthalene-1-amine, was mixed with salicylic acid to synthesize the complexes. The characterization of these complexes was performed using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The functional groups involved in the bonding were identified by comparing the FTIR spectra of the Schiff base and its metal complexes. Except for the Fe(III) complex, which was found to be octahedral, the Schiff base complexes were determined to be tetrahedral in geometry based on the FTIR spectra. It was discovered that these compounds coordinate via the carbonyl-O atom, the hydroxyl group's oxygen, and the azomethine group's nitrogen. The UV-Vis spectroscopy data revealed a hypsochromic .....
