This study aims to develop and validate the game-based problem-solving framework to develop innovation capability among undergraduate students. This study focuses in the use of digital game-based learning (DGBL) approach to learn soft skills required for developing product innovation capacity. This study consists of two phases. The first phase involves exploratory study to develop the conceptual framework. In the second phase, a quasi-experimental design was used in this study. A total of 106 undergraduate students were chosen from two universities as studied subjects to participate in a onegroup pre and post-test study. There are three instruments developed in this study that were soft skills game “Inventors of Future” (IoF), a game-based training module and an achievement test. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test showed significant difference between two groups on pre-test and post-test scores of overall soft skills (p < .001), problem solving (p < .001), creative thinking (p < .....

Soft skills are critical for undergraduate students to succeed in the workplace, but there exists a gap between the skills possessed by undergraduate students and those required by the industry. This review explores the use of game-based learning (GBL) for developing soft skills among undergraduate students. The review aims to answer four research questions that cover essential aspects of GBL, such as its theoretical foundation, skill development, game design elements, and assessment methods. Following the Preferred Reporting for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we selected 24 journal articles with empirical results from Scopus databases spanning 2017 to 2023, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria to finalize 18 articles for review. The review identified potential challenges in using GBL for soft skills development, such as the exploration of least developed soft skills, effectiveness of theoretical foundation adoption, game design elements development, and.....

Fungi are vital pathogens related to airway and deferent diseases. Exposure to fungi will have adverse effects on human health through severe immune responses. Allergic diseases like allergic rhinitis, asthma, airborne dermatitis, or allergic conjunctivitis. These diseases may well be aggravated by fungi al- lergens from the natural atmosphere or from the indoor environment in en- closed areas, workplaces and houses. Fungi allergy prevalence for the Malay- sian population has yet to be reported. Therefore, information on allergens of fungi species in Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI), Sultan Azlan Shah Campus will be used to profile the nation prevalence on fungi allergy. Hence, the present study is conducted at UPSI to identify the ten most common air- borne fungal species as a preliminary work prior to sensitization study on common fungal allergens. Dust was collected from 54 rooms situated within the 3 blocks at UPSI Sultan Azlan Shah Campus buildings using a vacuum cleaner. .....
