1 | 2020 thesis | Sensitivity optimisation of hybrid calixarene-reduced graphene oxide langmuir-blodgett thin films via langmuir, optical, structural and elektrical characterisations Lim, Darwina Choo Kheng The study aimed to investigate the characteristics of calixarene, reduced graphene oxide
(rGO) and their composite in order to optimise the sensitivity of the composite. The calixarenes
(calix[4]arene, calix[6]arene and calix[8]arene) and rGO were prepared in solution
to form a Langmuir film by using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) trough. The values of 30 mN/m and
15 mN/m were selected for calixarenes and rGO respectively for the thin film deposition. The
surface potential (?V) and effective dipole moment (µ?) of calixarenes were also
investigated. The optical properties of calixarene in solution and thin film were
studied using UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and compared to ensure the stability of
the thin film. Meanwhile, the rGO thin film was characterised with UV-Vis spectroscopy for t..... 705 hits |
2 | 2021 thesis | Development and the effect of mobile enthalpy game application on matriculation students achievement in thermochemical equation Choo, Sze Yee The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile enthalpy game application (MEGA)
and study its effect on matriculation students’ achievement in writing thermochemical equations.
MEGA is an Android game application developed for student to acquire skills to write
thermochemical equations. It is developed based on ADDIE’s, Kwon’s and the game-based learning
engineering models. MEGA was validated in terms of content, pedagogy and multimedia by using
Cohen’s kappa agreement coefficient. Reliability of MEGA is determined by using the reliability
coefficient. This quantitative study employed time-series quasi experimental design involving
36 students in the control group (PowerPoint slides) and 36 students in the experimental group
(MEGA). Samples are chosen by using a simple random sampling technique. The effect of MEGA versus
PowerPoint slides on student achievement of thermochemical ..... 854 hits |
3 | 2021 thesis | Assessing financial and macroeconomic factors influencing the Islamic Real Estate Investment Trusts stock return in Malaysia Choo, William Keng Soon The Islamic Real Estate Investment Trust (i-REIT) serves as an alternative Islamic
investment instrument to sukuk and shariah compliant stock, which observes i-REIT
experiencing a significant growth and demand in portfolio property value and Islamic
market capitalization. The attractiveness of i-REIT has made it to become one of the
common real estate investments apart from the physical property investment with a
long-term and cheaper capital for property ownership. Likewise, the continual
expansion of the i-REIT market in Malaysia is making great financial motivation that
expands the investment spectrum. Therefore, the need to study the driving financial and
macroeconomic interaction force with i-REIT stock return, which in turn further
contributes to the Islamic finance literature. This study was confined to nine study
variables and two latent which the financial and macroeconomic factors. The financial
factors comprise the long-term bond yield, systematic risk, stock mark..... 1690 hits |
4 | 2021 article | Factors Influencing Malaysian Preschool Teachers’ Use of the English Language as a Medium of Instruction Pauline Swee Choo Goh This study investigated Malaysian preschool teachers’ self-efficacy and attitudes toward the use of the English language as a medium of instruction (EMI) and proposed a model of how different variables were related to their use of English in the classrooms. In order to obtain a broad picture of the nature and scope of preschool teachers’ use of EMI, a survey study was undertaken. The research instrument was a questionnaire that was distributed to randomly-selected preschool teachers throughout Malaysia. The process of modeling was based on the empirical data and a theoretical model that was constructed on the basis of the two theoretical aspects, that is self-efficacy and attitudes-behavior relation. The theoretical model served as a bridge between the abstractions from theory and the development of the model. The model suggested that strong self-efficacy influenced preschool teachers’ use of English to teach. In addition, the model also indicated that those preschool teachers wi..... 932 hits |
5 | 2021 article | E-readiness measurement tool: scale development and validation in a Malaysian higher educational context Goh, Pauline Swee Choo Increasing complexity towards harnessing the power of ICT on all levels has created uncertainty about higher educational technological capabilities and adequate strategies to develop e-readiness. In this study, an empirically grounded higher education e-readiness questionnaire in the domain of higher education was developed and validated. Exploratory factor analysis (n =�120) followed by confirmatory factor analysis (n =�336) was done which was presented in two forms; covariance model and the structural model. The covariance model showed that the 5 indicators (?Innovativeness?, ?Infrastructure?, ?Collaboration?, ?Learning flexibility?, ?Student experience?) and assigned 24 items were important e-readiness dimensions from the learners? point of view. The structural models validated the previously extracted factors along with their indicators. As a practical tool, the e-readiness tool could assist institutions towards identifying issues that contribute towards e-readiness thereby for..... 817 hits |

7 | 2021 article | The principles of Malaysia Islamic real estate investment trust: contemporary Islamic core values Choo, William Keng Soon The Islamic capital market operates in parallel with convention capital market in expanding, deepening, and broadening Malaysia financial system. The Islamic Real Estate Investment Trust (Islamic REIT) serves as an alternative Islamic investment instrument to sukuk and shariah compliant stock, which observes Islamic REIT experiencing a significant growth and demand in portfolio property value and Islamic market capitalization. The attractiveness of Islamic REIT has made it to become one of the common real estate investments apart from the physical property investment with a long-term and cheaper capital for property ownership. Likewise, the continual expansion of the Islamic REIT market in Malaysia is making great financial motivation that expands the investment spectrum. Therefore, the need to review the Malaysia Islamic REIT framework to thrive and revitalize structures conforms to the shariah laws and the guideline issued by security commission of Malaysia. This inevitably means the..... 396 hits |

9 | 2023 article | THE CO-INTEGRATION AND CAUSALITY EFFECT BETWEEN GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE STOCK MARKET RETURN IN MALAYSIA: AN EXPLORATORY SEQUENTIAL MIXED METHODS APPROACH William Choo Keng Soon The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most unparalleled disasters the world has ever seen. Previously, the global community has faced the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), and Severe Acute Respiratory (SARS). However, the tremendous rate of infection created by the global COVID-19 pandemic is unmatchable with its rapid spread all over the world. Therefore, it is considered as a Black Swan event as created previously by the 2008 financial crisis, SARS, and 9/11 terrorist attack. All these events have triggered panic selling that affected the confidence of investors and businesses. Subsequently, stock market performance has affected the choice of investment decisions that translated into stock return. Therefore, this paper was undertaken to investigate the co-integration and causality relationship among global COVID-19 daily infected cases, COVID-19 recoveries rate, COVID-19 death rate, investor sentiment, government policy, foreign exchange rate, Malaysia..... 223 hits |
