Abstract
This Self-Regulated Learning research was conducted to profile and analyze motivational aspects and learning strategies of science students in Malaysia. An improved instrument in Bahasa Melayu called The Motivation Strategies of Learning Questionnaire-Revised or ‘MSLQ-R’ was developed for this purpose. This instrument was adapted from Motivation Strategies of Learning Questionnaire ‘MSLQ’ developed by Pintrich et al., (1991). The Cronbach alpha values for the first pilot study were 0.817 for motivation and 0.922 for the learning strategies. In the second pilot study the aspect of motivation had a value of 0.894 the while learning strategies was 0.927. Both pilot studies revealed a high internal reliability of the instrument. The findings showed that the mean score of motivation (5.34) is higher than the mean score for the learning strategies (4.55). A multiple regresion test conducted on the hyphotesis showed that the two dimensions, namely motivation (β=0.21, T=4.15, p < 0.00.....

Abstract
Journal of Sports Science and Physical Education 5(2): 15-23, 2016 - This study was conducted to determine the relationship between lower body muscle architectures and lunges performance. Thirty recreationally active, untrained men (mean age = 22.21 ± 1.59 yrs old) were recruited and involved in two testing sessions; i) anthropometrics and muscle architecture, and ii) multiple-repetition maximum (RM) lunge test. Muscle thickness, pennation angle and fascicle length of vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM), rectus femoris (RF) and biceps femoris (BF) were analysed using ultrasonography. Multiple-RM lunge testing was used as an estimation of 1RM lunges performance. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between lower body muscle architectures and lunges performance calculated absolutely and relatively (1RM/body mass). The overall results showed that muscle thickness and pennation angle of all muscles were significantly positive correlated with lunges performan.....

Abstract
Phase-controlled technique through thyristors (SCR) is used instead of diodes in order to form a power converter. Output voltage of this power converter can be varied by controlling the firing angle of SCR and is used to charge the capacitor banks. Each firing angles are referred to zero-crossing point of each half of the 50 Hz AC voltage. Adjustable voltage is then used to charge the capacitor bank inside Capacitor Charging Power Supply (CCPS) for Xenon flashlamp driver. Flashlamp produced source of pulsed light that pumped the Nd:YAG laser crystal. The Nd:YAG laser usually operates at various input energies, thus requiring variable values of voltage to charge the capacitor bank. Developed phase-controlled converter can steadily controll the output voltage of CCPS from 500 V to 1000 V...

Abstract
Socio Scientific Issues (SSI) is one of the strategies used in teaching and learning to discuss particular current issues that related to health, environment, medicine and genetic engineering as frequently reported in the mass media. This strategy used in teaching and learning to approach students in understanding and empowering the science concept. The purpose of this study is to develop a model based on SSI in measuring and assessing the cause effect relationship of the identified variables for the proposed model of reasoning skills among the science students. The method used in this research is a quantitative study with survey approach that will measure the model fit. A total of 500 respondents form four students in biology classes around four zones in Malaysia responded to four variables in the questionnaire (content acquisition, epistemology scientific belief, adhered moral and ethics and reasoning skills). Data was analyses by using SPSS and Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) 21.....
