The World Programme for Human Rights Education (2005 – ongoing), set up by United Nations General Assembly and coordinated by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to promote a common understanding of basic principles and methodologies of human rights education, to provide a realistic framework for action, and to strengthen partnerships and cooperation from international to grass-root levels. Aligned with the World Programme for Human Rights Education, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) in partnership with the Ministry of Education Malaysia implemented the first phase of the Best Practices of Human Rights programme, known as the ATHAM programme in five selected secondary schools in Malaysia. A research study using mixed method sequential exploratory design was conducted to examine the schools’ experiences with the ATHAM program.....

The study investigated the schools’ experiences on SUHAKAM’s best practices in Human Rights (ATHAM) programme. The aim of the paper was to highlight the best practices of human rights program as experienced by the teachers and students. The views were expressed in terms of the importance of ATHAM objectives, challenges and ways to overcome the challenges. With the cooperation of the Ministry of Education, five schools were selected as the pilot project in 2009. This paper focused on the report of the quantitative results. A total of 798 respondents participated in the survey. There were 148 teachers and 650 students. The findings showed that both teachers and students agreed that the objectives were important. Lack of Time and lack of support in the practice of human rights was found to be the challenges among teachers and students. The results also demonstrated the ways to overcome the challenges were that school stakeholders must practice human rights. Subsequently, T-test was co.....

Kajian ini bertujuan membangunkan lima item bidang Perkaitan bagi memenuhi lima tahap hierarki Model Taksonomi Pemprosesan Maklumat (TPM). Seterusnya, kajian ini juga bertujuan menganalisis proses kognitif menggunakan item yang dibina dan mengenal pasti strategi murid dalam menyelesaikan masalah matematik. Lima item yang dibina disahkan oleh dua orang pakar serta ditentukan kebolehpercayaannya. Reka bentuk tinjauan menggabungkan kaedah ujian bertulis dan temu bual separa berstruktur digunakan dalam kajian ini. Sampel kajian fasa kedua melibatkan sembilan orang murid tingkatan empat dari sebuah sekolah menengah di Daerah Seremban dipilih secara teknik persampelan bertujuan dan dikategorikan kepada murid berpencapaian cemerlang, sederhana dan lemah. Dua instrumen digunakan dalam kajian ini iaitu Ujian Penyelesaian Masalah dan Protokol Temu Bual Separa Berstruktur. Kesahan pakar dinilai daripada nilai indek persetujuan Cohen Kappa dan penentuan kebolehpercayaan menggunakan nilai indeks di.....

Assuring economic growth and development without neglecting the requirement for environmental sustainability has become the most debatable topic in recent international forums. As a result, researchers and decision-makers are now focusing on green growth instead of traditional economic growth. Several factors that influence green growth have been studied in the literature to date, however, the impact of foreign direct investment, trade openness and financial development is relatively unexplored. Therefore, this study employs a fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) estimator to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment, trade openness, and financial development on green economic growth for ASEAN-5 countries from 2010 to 2021. The empirical results show that foreign direct investment and financial development have a positive impact on green growth, whereas trade openness has a negative impact on green growth. Considering the results, this study recommends that policymak.....

This study analyses a genre of literature, namely poems written in English by Malaysians who are concerned with issues of man and society. Selected from the anthologies of Cecil Rajendra and Fan Yew Teng, these poems touch on issues and problems from the social, political and economic aspects of Malaysian society and other nations where the issues are relevant. The study would be based on the critical theory of postmodernism, which is involved with contemporary affairs. An important aspect of postmodernism, in the arts and literature, is its definition by the philosopher, Jean François-Lyotard as "incredulity towards metanarratives". Postmodernists view with suspicion the grand narratives of history, ideology and the like since the narratives are a form of propaganda used to ensure stability and order. Postmodernism has a broad scope of concern especially for the dynamic global changes such as nuclear proliferation, war and environmentalism. From the analysis of the poems, it can be s.....

Ideologi era pluralis 1990an dalam perkembangan seni cetakan Malaysia telah membawa kepada satu dimensi baharu dalam penghasilan karya seni kontemporari. Sebelum penularan ideologi era pluralis, seni cetak di Malaysia hanya berpaksikan kepada kaedah konvensional yang diterapkan oleh pendatang dari cina ke Tanah Melayu ketika itu. Dengan penularan ideologi era pluralis ini telah mengakibatkan kepelbagaian dalam penghasilan karya seni cetakan di mana karya seni cetakan boleh wujud melalui bahan-bahan kegunaan seharian. Secara tidak lansung ideologi era pluralis ini telah menampakkan penghujung bagi sejarah seni yang lebih mementingkan kepada nilai estetik dan terbatas kepada persoalan peribadi. Kewujudan istilah anything goes telah merancakkan lagi penghasilan karya seni cetakan yang sebelum ini terikan dengan peraturan yang ketat dalam penghasilan. Kajian ini dijalankan menggunakan kaedah kajian sejarah seni melalui tinjauan terhadap pameran seni cetakan Alternatif ketumbukan 2010 yang .....

Most global problems are being solved by using sustainable energy harvesting technologies to retain the social ecosystem in great condition. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) which is a renewable energy harvesting device, collects the waste mechanical energy from its surroundings and performs the electric signal conversion. TENG have garnered increased attention in recent years by offering prospective use in energy harvesting technology. Particularly, there is a need for flexible energy conversion that serves as a power supply for portable electronic equipment. In this study, ZnO nanosheet thin film prepared on the flexible conductive aluminium foil through a low temperature immersion technique was used to generate electrical energy. The effect of heat treatment on ZnO nanosheet thin film was also investigated on the surface morphology, structural properties and nanogerator performance. The high density of interconnected ZnO nanosheet were observed before and after heat treatment .....

This research aimed to generate electricity from polystyrene waste materials combined with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials. Developing alternative polystyrene waste materials for generating electricity in triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) could be beneficial in a circular economy and sustainable development. With the motivation to reduce environmental pollution by using polystyrene waste, a recycled polystyrene-ZnO nanocomposite film (rPS-ZnO NF) was synthesized and served as a triboelectric material for energy harvesting applications. ZnO nanopowder was produced by a low-temperature solution immersion method in conjunction with a simple film-casting method to prepare the rPS-ZnO NF. The effects of varying amounts of toluene as a solvent medium and the immersion time in stearic acid (SA) solution treatment on the structural properties, wettability behavior, surface morphology, chemical bonding properties, surface characteristics, and TENG performance were investigated. In this work, rP.....
