Since the hype of Industrial Revolution 4.0 that was brought up by Klaus Schwab in 2016, once again the question of values and beliefs becomes a debate. If religiosity is sidelined in our efforts to automate services and let machines do the jobs of human, then human will truly be substituted by artificial intelligence (AI). Does religiosity matter and can it play a role in the new industry revolution? This study will explore the impact of religiosity towards Muslim officers’ work behaviour in the higher learning institutions in Malaysia. Through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, this study found that religiosity has an impact on the respondents’ work behaviour to a certain degree. Five themes emerged from the thematic analysis: religiosity, personality, competency, environment, and leadership. Besides religiosity, factors such as attitude, leadership, and environment also play a vital role in the enhancement of a religious-based organisational culture...

Fully Residential School (FRS) under the Ministry of Education in Malaysia is a type of school, which produces high performance human capital. Important factors in the academic success of high performing students should be focused on to produce more high-performing students to fulfill the needs of the nation. This study aims to apply the Academic Success Inventory for College Students (ASICS) in the context of FRS in Malaysia and measure the instrument quality as well as identify the most important factor in the academic success. The sample comprised 305 students from three FRS. The data was collected using the ASICS instrument, which contained 49 items. Later, the data was analyzed based on the Polytomous Item Response Theory using the Xcalibre software. Based on the Chi-square, p-value, and the -2 LogLikelihood, Samejima's Graded Rating Model was found to be the fit model with the data. Unidimensionality assumption and local independence were tested using the exploratory factor analy.....

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...

Murraya koenigii (Rutaceae), locally known as curry leaf tree, is a medicinally important herb of Indian origin and now is widely distributed throughout southern Asia. The bark of Malayan Murraya koenigii was investigated for phytochemical content. The isolation of chemical constituents from its hexane extract was carried out by using various chromatographic techniques. Spectroscopic methods, including NMR, IR, UV, MS spectra data, were used for the structural characterization. Four C23-carbazole alkaloids were isolated..
