Published: April 2024

İdari yargıda yüksek mahkemelerin iş yükünün azaltılması ve uyuşmazlıkların daha kısa sürede nihai olarak çözümlenmesi amacıyla olağan kanun yollarına başvuru sınırlanmıştır. 2577 sayılı İdari Yargılama Usulü Kanunu’nda kanun yollarına başvuru dava konusu bakımından sınırlanırken diğer yandan dava konusu belli bir miktar tutarı aşmayan tam yargı davaları ve idari işlemler hakkında verilen kararlara karşı kanun yollarına başvurulamayacağı öngörülmüştür. Kanun yollarına başvuru hakkına, iç hukukta doğrudan bir hükümde işaret edilmemiş olsa da bu hak, mahkemeye erişim hakkı ve hak arama hürriyeti ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle idari yargıda kanun yollarına başvurulması bakımından 2577 sayılı Kanun’un getirdiği sınırlardan bahsedilecek ve bu konuda verilen Anayasa Mahkemesi kararları adil yargılanma hakkına uygunluğu bakımından incelenecektir.

The economic and nutritional potential of peas makes them highly promising for development. Accurate yield predictions based on photosynthate allocation are essential for optimizing crop production. This study aimed to utilize shoot-root ratio biomass analysis to predict the yield of different pea genotypes. The research was conducted at the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Brawijaya, located in Jatimulyo, Malang, East Java. The study utilized three pea genotypes (TMG-8-2, BTG-1, and BW-44181-3-1) planted in individual rows. The analysis involved calculating the shoot-root ratio and using simple linear regression to predict the results. The findings indicated that the shoot-root ratio varied over time, with the BW-44181-3-1 genotype displaying the highest ratio and the TMG-8-2 genotype showing the lowest. The shoot-root ratio exhibited the highest increase during the generative phase, peaking during pod maturation. Regarding yield variables, the results of the simple linear regression analysis revealed that the shoot-root ratio significantly influenced the number of pods planted (R2 = 88%), the number of seeds planted (R2 = 78%), and the weight of seeds planted (R2 = 90%) at 70 days after planting (DAP). An increase in the shoot-root ratio served as an indicator of the quantity and weight of seeds planted, as well as the number of pods produced.

Authors: Mohamad Nor Musfirah , Ibrahim Basri , Asni Fathullah , Mohamad Noorkartina
Published: April 2024

Ethanol is a basic ingredient and an important requirement to process products for companies in the food and beverage industry, medicines and consumables (perfumes, cosmetics, printing and others). This is because ethanol is a universal solvent, flavouring and colouring agent carrier, soft drink stabiliser, food preservative, disinfectant, printing ink solvent, cosmetics, fragrance and others. However, the COVID-19 pandemic that hit Malaysia between 2020 and 2021 was contained by implementing the Movement Control Order (MCO). The impact is that most companies in these industries cannot operate as usual, causing the demand for ethanol products to decrease, so these companies cannot supply that ethanol. Ethanol-producing companies are among the companies in Malaysia that have been affected by the pandemic crisis. Despite this, the economic sustainability of this company continues with the high demand for ethanol to meet the needs of the medical, pharmaceutical and personal care (hand sanitiser) industries throughout the MCO. This study aims to explain the production process of ethanol products in an ethanol production company in the north of Malaysia and identify the factors that have enabled the company to be consistent and remain in operation until now. This qualitative study uses observation, interview and content analysis methods to collect and analyse information to obtain results that coincide with the objectives set. The study found that ethanol products in the companies are produced through an organic fermentation process. The justification is that the raw material source used is molasses (cane sugar), high-quality ethanol purity, and the ethanol product is safe and good for use in the food, beverage, medicine and consumable industries. In addition, this company can survive in challenging environments such as the economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study can shed light on the ethanol production process and the factors that can help this company maintain economic sustainability even in the context of the COVID-19 crisis.

MATURE AND PROSPEROUS POLITICAL CULTURE: AN ANALYSIS ON ITS IMPACT TOWARDS THE MALAYSIAN POLITICAL CULTURE
Authors: Musa Nor Saadah , Mat Salleh Mohd Kamel
Published: April 2024

Politics is a crucial necessity in human lives. It holds the platform to systematically construct and organize our society and norms. Humans generally cannot co-exist with each other without an organized politics system. Ironically, politics is always misconstrued as dirty, twisted, cunning, and misleading specifically when it involves parties in politics. This mentality is eventually indoctrinated and became part of the culture among the Malaysian. Evidently, any discussion regarding politics usually becomes a sensitive issue filled with sentiments. The challenge is when the doctrine has become worsened with the attitudes and the extreme stance of politics activists who propagate unnecessarily in supporting their political parties; otherwise known as political extremist. These extremists culturalized the act of humiliating, degrading and being physical towards their oppositions to be in power. What is more concerning is that this unhealthy competition has normalized the culture of making stories about people, creating and spreading misleading views of the oppositions which are major sins in the name of Allah SWT. Consequently, this leads to prolonged disagreements and creating conflicts that jeopardises unity. Therefore, the politics culture especially amongst Muslims throughout all parties in this country should be scrutinized, to avoid being a bad representative to the beauty of the religion itself. This study will focus on how far does the political culture perspective of ‘Mature and Prosperous Political Culture’: Budaya Politik Matang Sejahtera (BPMS) could be the alternative/solution to change the political culture among the Malaysians. Qualitative methods are used in this study such as analysis of books and related articles, as well as interviews with authorities, namely amongst the founders to the BPMS concept themselves. In support of the Prime Minister’s urge to avoid immoral sentiments of politics, hence, this article suggests for this BPMS concept to be brought forward and studied academically as an initiative to overcome the culture of party extremism and unethical politics among Malaysians, including the politicians. It is hoped that the findings of this study can solve the conflicts related to the political culture of the Malaysians which is mostly based on sentiments rather than rationales or facts. This is a crucial issue for our country as it encourages unhealthy conflicts and creates racial division. The fact is that division will only weaken unity and will inflict on the stability of the country.

Authors: Muhammad Taib Nurfatehah , Ahmad Anuar , Othman Norasmah
Published: April 2024

This study aims to examine the influence of the home environment, parental involvement, and student satisfaction on academic achievement in History subjects among Orang Asli Pantai students in Malaysia. Involving 63 respondents from two schools in the Batu Pahat area, this study used a quantitative methodology by collecting data through probe questions. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 26. The results of the study show the level of availability of a simple home environment, with variations in completeness and environmental conditions that facilitate review sessions. Parents' involvement in their children's learning shows a modest level, with strong support in providing facilities and encouragement, but less so in aspects of reviewing exercise books and attending school Open Days. The level of student satisfaction with parents, teachers and the school environment is high, but regression analysis shows an insignificant relationship between this level of satisfaction and academic achievement in the History subject. These findings emphasize the need for a more holistic approach in understanding the factors that influence student academic success, especially in the context of Indigenous and minority education. This study provides insight into the complexity of the relationship between environmental factors, family support, and educational satisfaction on academic achievement, and suggests the importance of comprehensive and layered interventions to improve the academic achievement of Orang Asli Pantai students in History subjects. In conclusion, this study shows that despite the influence of home environment availability, parental involvement, and student satisfaction, these relationships vary in strength and significance, indicating the need for a more inclusive and holistic approach to education.
A CONCEPTUAL EXPLORATION OF DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES AND TEACHERS’ JOB SATISFACTION IN EDUCATION PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Mohd Rokeman Nor Roselidyawaty , Che Kob Che Ghani , Untong Mohd Fadzlee
Published: April 2024

This concept review paper delves into the complex dynamics between job satisfaction, demographic diversity among employees, and job performance within educational sector organizations. Despite a wealth of empirical studies and theoretical literature suggesting correlations between demographic factors as moderators and job satisfaction, the evidence remains fragmented and inconclusive. This concept paper aims to bridge this gap by explore the moderating role of demographic factors in shaping the relationship between job satisfaction, considering the significant variability in correlation strength across studies. The findings reveal that the nature and strength of these associations vary considerably based on the organizational context, particularly regarding how demographic diversity in management influences employee job satisfaction within educational settings. Through analysis of data gathered from various public sector environments, we demonstrate that gender, age, length of service, marital status, work experience, level of education and school location attributes significantly impact employee job satisfaction, particularly within educational contexts. This study highlights the necessity of integrating demographic factors into future research on job satisfaction, as it builds upon a robust empirical and theoretical foundation supporting these relationships. As organizations endeavour to enhance employee well-being and performance, understanding the intricate interplay between demographic diversity and job satisfaction becomes imperative for effective management and policy formulation.
EXPLORING ENGLISH MONOPHTHONGS PERCEPTION AND PRODUCTION IN MALAYSIA

This abstract presents a comprehensive overview of the challenges and considerations surrounding the effective communication of English as a second language (ESL) among Malaysian learners. While verbal and written communication forms are essential in daily interactions, language proficiency and accurate pronunciation are integral to successful message transmission. The Malaysian context, where English is a secondary language frequently employed for formal communication and international discourse, underscores the significance of proficient language use. Despite the prevalence of English instruction, students often excel academically but struggle to apply the language practically, especially in pronunciation. The prevailing emphasis on examination performance over practical language skills contributes to this disparity. Research indicates that ESL learners face difficulties accurately articulating sounds, leading to misunderstandings and inhibiting practical discourse. These challenges are further exacerbated by socio-cultural perceptions that tie accurate pronunciation to professionalism and social status. Efforts to address this issue include the Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah (KSSR), which aims to cultivate well-rounded language skills among students. However, the practical application of English, particularly pronunciation, remains an area of concern. By exploring the complex interplay between language acquisition, educational strategies, and cultural perceptions, this abstract highlights the need for a holistic approach to ESL communication. By recognising the multifaceted nature of language proficiency and prioritising practical language skills alongside theoretical knowledge, Malaysia can better equip learners to engage confidently and effectively in English discourse. Ultimately, the abstract emphasises the importance of nurturing a generation of English language users who can navigate the demands of global communication and contribute to the challenges of the modern world.

This study delves into the lived experience of a 33-year-old single woman diagnosed with depressive disorder, exploring her self-awareness, coping strategies and social interactions. Through an in-depth interview, the informant revealed a profound understanding of her emotions, physical manifestations of depression, and behavioral patterns. Her adeptness in managing mood and emotions, primarily through social avoidance, sheds light on the intricate relationship between grief, socialization and mental health. The informant's proactive approach in seeking help via therapy and religious practices highlights the integration of modern and Islamic methodologies in managing her condition. Despite her functional capabilities at work, her hesitation toward socializing and starting new relationships signifies ongoing healing and self-control. The study underscores the multifaceted nature of depression management, emphasizing the need for comprehensive approaches encompassing self-awareness, coping mechanisms, religious practices, and the intersection between personal and professional spheres. Future research could explore the efficacy of combining religious practices with therapeutic interventions and delve into cultural nuances affecting individuals' readiness for new relationships amidst mental health challenges.
