The study was conducted to investigate the effect of intercropping system between short-term crops and karas trees on the growth of karas trees and the side income made by the karas planters after implementing the intercropping system. There were four treatment groups implemented in this study which include monoculture of karas(control), karas with chilli (T1), karas with okra(T2) and karas with corn (T3). The karas tree growth parameters measured were height (cm), circumference (cm) and leaves count. The production yield of selected short-term crops was weighed in kilogram and the net profit analysis was made based on the market price of chilli, corn and okra. The data collection for the growth of karas tree was done ‘before’ and ‘during’ the plantation of short-term cropsin the study site as well as ‘after’ the short-term crops were removed from the study site.Data analysis showed that there was a significant difference (p..

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various user-control strategies of segmented animation in learning abstract contents or processes that are not naturally visual on the cognition of students. In particular, the study examined the effects of five different user-control strategies: linear user-control, random user-control, free user-control, program-control, and continuous user-control. The research design was quasi-experimental and the data obtained were statistically analysed using ANCOVA and ANOVA. The instruments involved were pre-test, post-test, and NASA-TLX cognitive load test. The sample size consisted of 265 semester-two students enrolled in the Diploma in Networking System. The results indicated significant differences in the post-test and cognitive load test outcomes. In conclusion, this study suggests that the use of user-control, either linear user-control or random user-control, were sufficient strategies for learning abstract contents in segmented ani.....

The purpose of this study was to identify the leadership behaviour, entrepreneurial orientation and organisational performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia.  Three main constructs were selected namely leadership behaviour, entrepreneurial orientation and  organisational performance based on Resource Based Theory (RBT) by Galbreath (2005) and  Transformational Leadership Theory by Bass (1985). The research design used in this study was a  survey method and data were collected using quantitative approaches. The respondents were 401 owner  or manager of SMEs operating in manufacturing and service industries in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.  The respondents were selected using the Stratified Sampling Technique. The study instrument applied  was questionnaires. The finding showed that transformational leadership has higher impact towards  organisational performance (β=0.257, S.E=0.055) than transactional leadership (β=0.220, S.E=0.054).  Entrepreneuri.....

Power is one of the most important physical components to excel in modern soccer. Hence, finding the most efficient mode of power training is vital. This article aim is therefore, to propose an idea about a power training mode that might resulted with better power performance in soccer. Traditionally, resistance training and plyometrics will be the choice to be used by the trainers to improve power qualities. However, recent studies on power training had proven that complex training; a combination of resistance training and plyometrics, is a beneficial power training mode. In this article, discussion on power training modes is ultimately resumed by an unexplored research gap; cluster set (CS) application during a complex training. By utilizing the cluster set (CS) during a complex training, a better results of power training might occur  ..
