A noteworthy feature in the monetary policy decision making is that interest rate can play a significant role in addressing economic uncertainty. Although the empirical studies on monetary policy reaction function routinely include the output gap and the inflation, not many studies take into account the exchange rate uncertainty and terms of trade uncertainty. To overcome this shortcoming, this paper examines the monetary policy reaction function by including the external economic uncertainty. Based on 30 selected countries, the estimation is relaxed by using the panel heterogeneous cointegration technique. The findings suggest that (i) the interest rate can serve as an important instrument for the central bank policy decision making to combat the economic uncertainty arising from output, inflation, exchange rate and terms of trade (TOT), and (ii) the economic uncertainty (i.e., output uncertainty, inflation uncertainty, exchange rate uncertainty and TOT uncertainty) can serve as a use.....

The purpose of this study is to develop a preschools’ higher order thinking skills (HOTS) teaching model. Some important aspects are also studied namely, the level of preschool teacher's thinking, the preschool teacher's view of the role played by the authorities, the needs of preschool teachers in implementing HOTS and the daily teaching practice of preschool teachers. The mixed method approach is used in this study. The quantitative study was analyzed using the SPSS version 23 software while the qualitative study was analyzed using the Hermeneutic method that was interpretation of text to metatext. A total of 125 preschool teachers from all over Perak state were involved in quantitative data collection using questionnaires. Meanwhile, 30 preschool teachers from three districts, Larut Matang Selama, Kuala Kangsar and Kinta Utara were involved in the collection of qualitative data using observation, interview form and daily lesson plan document analysis. The findingsshow that the imp.....

This study aims to develop a voltammetric sensors of acetaminophen, dopamine and hydroquinone using zinc layered hydroxide-L-phenylalanate/multiwalled carbon nanotubes, zinc layered hydroxide-sodium dodecyl sulphate-isoprocarb/multiwalled carbon nanotubes and zinc layered hydroxide-ferulate/multiwalled carbon nanotubes, respectively. The surface morphology of these layered materials and multiwalled carbon nanotubes were determined using scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, while the rate of electron transfer on the surface of these electrodes were determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The square wave voltammetry method was used to study the performance of these electrodes. Several experimental conditions influencing the voltammetric responses such as percentage of modifiers, type and concentration of supporting electrolyte, pH of the solutions and square wave voltammetry parameters were optimized. Under optimum conditions, these electrodes .....
