In his research, the researcher segmented Halim Teh's comics into 4 eras ; the 50?s, the 60?s, the 70?s and the 80?s. The reason for this segmentation is so that we can see how themes, forms and styles were Halim Teh?s preference in prolonging his comics. In this way, it is hoped that we can trace and see the era differences with the chosen theme, forms and styles.

A new generalization basis called A-Bezier was constructed for the space span 2 {1, , ,..., } n t t t by using systolic array. This basis was based on a Bezier-like cubic curve consisting of two shape parameters which gave more degrees of freedom used in constructing the desired free form spline and surfaces. By fixing the shape parameters to specific values, this basis could be reduced to Wang-Ball basis and could be generalized to the other Bezier-like curve such as Timmer PC curve. The results showed that such basis and curves shared some properties with the Bernstein basis and the Bezier curves in polynomial spaces respectively...

The objectives of this study were to investigate the reading ability of Malay students at primary and secondary schools, and teachers‟ practices in the teaching of reading skills. Miller‟s (1995) Reading Assessment Techniques, which comprised six tests, were used to test word and parsing identification miscues and reading comprehension. The subjects were 1989 students and 360 teachers from both rural and urban schools in Perak and Terengganu. Findings show that the majority of students were able to recognize linguistic cues at the word level. However, they had poor recognition of phrases and clauses, thus facing difficulties in processing sentences, especially complex sentences and main ideas in discourse (Ibrahim, Mohamed Nor, Abu, & Atan, 2007). Hence, the majority of students (Year 5, Form 1, 2 and 4) were unable to read textbooks provided by the Malaysian Ministry of Education because of higher readability levels (Carrell, 2001; Nation & Deweerdt, 2001). These findings could be.....

After the adoption of AASB 138 in 2005, it is argued that information on intangibles is less visible in Australian companies' financial reports. In view of this limitation, this study examines the nature, extent and intensity of intangibles disclosure by listed companies in Australia. We establish, explore and demonstrate the concept of information intensity which indicates the strength of intangibles information presented by firms. We analyse the narrative sections in annual reports and prospectuses of 30 companies from the Top 200 Australian companies. The overall findings suggest that capital-raising companies make intangibles information visible in both annual reports and prospectuses by signalling information through pictures and repetition of intangibles information which indicates more intense signal. However, we find that the level of disclosure in prospectuses is much lower than the disclosure in the narrative sections in the annual reports. We argue that disclosure in prospec.....

Konsep keindahan dalam kesusasteraan Melayu sering ditanggapi berasaskan kerangka pemikiran estetik Barat. Terdapat juga kerangka teori estetik Melayu seperti Puitika Sastera Melayu oleh Muhammad Haji Salleh dan Rasa-Fenomenologi oleh Sohaimi Abdul Aziz yang boleh digunakan untuk memahami konsep keindahan dalam kesusasteraan Melayu, namun, kedua-dua kerangka teori ini tidak mengambil Islam sebagai asas yang mendasari keindahan, sedangkan kajian terdahulu menunjukkan, bahawa teras utama kesusasteraan Melayu ialah Islam dan jati diri bangsa Melayu itu sendiri. Kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk mengaplikasikan pendekatan Estetika Bersepadu dalam analisis puisi Ahmad Kamal Abdullah bagi memahami konsep keindahan bermakna dalam puisi Melayu moden. Untuk mencapai tujuan ini, dua objektif ditetapkan iaitu (1) membuktikan kesepaduan aspek stail (gaya bahasa kiasan dan pemikiran) dengan perutusan agama dan (2) mengenalpasti aspek-aspek kontekstual yang berkaitan secara langsung dengan stail.....
