Lets think they are safe online! a Malaysian perspective on the classification of childrens cyber risks

Sarina Yusup

Abstract

Children currently spend more time on the Internet and corresponding technologies to socialise virtually and play video games. Scholars have not reached a consensus on whether childrens participation in such recreational activities is beneficial or detrimental. Although Malaysian parents are concerned about the digital threats that may be encountered by their children, most of the detriments remain unknown. Children still hesitate to inform their families about their online exposure to inappropriate content, such as cybersex and pornography, which remain taboo subjects in Malaysian households. This study performed a descriptive analysis to determine the risk factors associated with childrens internet use with 420 school-going children aged from 9 to 16 years around Selangor. Resultantly, children were highly exposed to unwanted exposure to pornography (17.4 %), potentially dangerous user-generated content (9 %), sexting (8.8 %), personal data misuse (6.4 %), cyber grooming (3.3 %), and.....

The influence of media exposure on voters behavior during the sumbawa 2020 local election (PILKADA)

Sarina Yusup

Abstract

During Indonesia's general elections, mass media was the most popular medium for transmitting political influence. However, the extent of media influence on voting behaviour is unknown, creating a problem that necessitates careful research. As a result, the purpose of this study was to determine the impact of media exposure on voting behaviour among Sumbawa voters in Indonesia during the Pemilihan Kepala Daerah, or PILKADA 2020. A sample of 400 voters was chosen using a Multi-Level Random Sampling method. To better understand this phenomenon, a set of questionnaires was used as a data collection tool in the field. The collected data was then analysed using SPSS software version 26. Descriptive analysis revealed that the level of media exposure was divided into three categories: low, medium, and high. However, such exposure has only a minor impact on voter behaviour. While inferential analysis shows that non-mass media exposure has a significant influence on the voting behaviour of the .....

Social media addiction and depression among adolescents in two Malaysian states

Sarina Yusup

Abstract

Addiction to social media addiction is considered a leading risk factor for depression among adolescents, but the relationship needs to be supported empirically. This study investigates the social media addiction level and its association with depression among Malaysian adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted by distributing a structured questionnaire to potential respondents aged 13 to 21 years old from Johor and Sarawak. Data were analysed in SPSS using descriptive statistics, correlation, and Chi-square tests. Overall, 72.0% and 33.0% of the 384 respondents recorded high levels of social media addiction and depression, respectively. A significant and low positive relationship was detected between social media addiction and depression among adolescents. The levels of social media addiction and depression differed across age groups, gender, race, and the time spent on social media platforms. These findings reflect the need to address excessive social media usage among adole.....

Pencirian filem nipis kaliksarina didop dengan nanotiub karbon untuk pengesanan ion Cd2+

Amira Shakila Razali

Abstract

Tujuan utama kajian ini adalah mengkaji kesan pengaruh pendopan nanotiub karbon (NTK) ke atas struktur dua jenis kaliks[8]arina dengan menggunakan kaedah salutan berputar. Sampel kaliks[8]arina + NTK dalam bentuk filem nipis disediakan melalui pencampuran kaliks[8]arina dengan NTK di mana kaliks[8]arina dilarutkan dalam kloroform terlebih dahulu dan memberi kepekatan 0.2 mg/ml. Pada permulaan kajian, sifat-sifat molekul kaliks[8]arina melalui penghasilan filem Langmuir telah dikaji dan dibincangkan dari segi tekanan permukaan-kawasan (Π-A) isoterma tanpa NTK. Seterusnya, filem nipis yang dihasilkan melalui kaliks[8]arina didopkan dengan NTK telah dianalisis dengan menggunakan mikroskop elektron pengimbas pancaran medan (FESEM), mikroskop elektron penghantar (STEM), spektroskopi Raman dan penduga empat titik dalam menentukan ciri-ciri arus-voltan dan kekonduksian sampel. Keupayaan permukaan (ΔV) juga turut dilakukan untuk menentukan keupayaan sampel dalam pengaliran elektron. Hasil ka.....
