Published: April 2021

Mobile apps are fast emerging as assistive learning platforms for pre-schoolers, as well as junior school students. In fact, not just the parents but also the junior-level teachers encourage children to use mobile learning apps due to its many benefits such as interactive, enjoyable and informal, etc. Needless to say, the advent of mobile apps must also equitable for students with learning difficulties to take advantage of the same learning opportunities as other students. Students with learning difficulties suffer from disabilities in language, information processing, etc. that prevent them from performing their academic tasks in the same manner as other students. It is crucial to realize the development of mobile learning apps for students with learning difficulties requires inclusive designs that make the apps usable for them. The paper presents an evaluation of a mobile appDisleksia Belajar, which developed for students with dyslexia in junior school to learn the Malay language. Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that causes problems with language processing e.g. reading and writing. The evaluation is performed using SUS and Fun ToolKit (v3) techniques, which intend to explore the usability and engagement of the mobile app. There is a total of 12 students with dyslexia aged 7 to 12 years old recruited as the participants. The findings contribute towards understanding and improvement for the future development of mobile learning apps for students that having similar difficulty.
An Intervention of Academic Peer Mentoring Program towards Mathematics Grade among Secondary Students in Malaysia
Authors: Et.al Fauziah Hanim Jalal
Published: April 2021

Academic peer mentoring program between peer mentors and mentees has been widely implemented by school counselors. However, few researches have been examined the outcome of the Peer Mentor Module (PMM) on mathematics grade achievement in school. The PMM aim to improve the peer mentor’s soft skills namely in interpersonal relationship, communication, motivation, empathy and emotional stability. The present study examines the effect of participation of form four students in a secondary school in academic peer mentoring program as well as differences between individual and group approach on mathematic grade achievement. A total of 45 sampel form four students who failed in mathematic monthly tests whereby 30 students as mentee served as treatment group while the remainder 15 students as a control group. All 20 peer mentor students participated in an eight hours workshop using the Peer Mentor Module.  The subjects were examined at week one for pre-test and post-test at week eight. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage and mean, with inferential analysis using Mann-Whitney U tests. Statistical analysis included (group x time) measures t-test to determine between and within group mean differences. The finding supports the hypothesis that PMM intervention shows positive effects on increasing the mathematic grade. It was found that the mathematic grade of Individual Peer Mentor Treatment Group is higher than the Group Peer Mentor Treatment Group.  Therefore, a one-on-one session (one peer mentor and one mentee) provide better individualized attention for students as well as establish understanding of the content and advices from a peer mentor.  This approach can become an important aspect in implementing the guidance and counselling practice that focus in academic peer mentoring.
Fudhuli Transactions:Potential Applications and Parameters
Authors: Et.al Ahmad Zakirullah Mohamed Shaarani
Published: April 2021

Tasarrufal-Fudhuli refers to transactions or contracts carried out by a person who does not have the authority or legitimacy to commit the transaction, and these contracts include exchange contracts such as sales, rent and services, or charitable contracts such as representation/wakalah, hibah, loans, guarantees, and so on. In the context of Islamic finance, although it is a type of transaction that is argued and debated by the jurists and fuqaha, some have begun to realize its great potential in keeping with current developments, especially in the field of Islamic banking and finance. Besides looking at Fudhuli in terms of its meaning and the Shariah rules that govern it, the main focus of this study is the discussion of its dhawabhit/ parameters as it has its own risks associated with it compared to other established types of Islamic contracts. The study utilizes a full library research by analyzing scholar`s debates and their arguments on this kind of contract, the contract`s potential, followed by analyzing the parameters that should be adopted in operationalizing this contract together with the discussion on the issues of fudhulithat are relevant to current Islamic banking and finance operations. The results of this study show that the views that allow this contract has strong arguments, and that it has also been widely practiced outside of Malaysia, but is relatively new in Malaysia. While it is permissible, however, some parameters must be put in place so that it is not in conflict with Shariah, and comply with the Shariah requirement of each contract done on a fudhuli basis. There must also be an urgent and genuine need to do so, and not involve ribawi items that require immediate delivery of the asset, as well as the existence of a council or body that controls and monitors the process and implementation by the involved parties

Crisis Management, and Charismatic Leadership Communication as Antecedents to the Organizational Reputation
Authors: Et.al Tariq Saeed Khalfan Barshoud Almarshoodi
Published: April 2021

The aim of this study is to measure employees’ perceptions of UAE police’s reputation. Even though these perceptions are formed in the public domain, this study focused on the public sector employees’ evaluation of the Commission’s reputation and credibility. This is solely because they work in it and will be directly affected by negative perceptions, as evident in most alternative media and blogs. Like many other organizations, employees and other internal stakeholders know the organization better than the outsiders, so measuring their perceptions is essential. This study attempts to reflect how UAE police, through its charismatic leadership communication and organizational credibility, earns the trust and confidence of its employees in times of crisis, which is further reflected in its reputation. The present study chooses the situational crisis communication theory to develop its theoretical framework. Originating in attribution theory, the SCCT has been widely used in crisis communication research to test the link between crisis situation and crisis response strategies. The study has employed the SEM-PLS is statistical technique for the analysis of the data. The findings of the study have provided support to the hypothesized results.
The Crisis Management and the Reputation of UAE Police: An Application Situational Crisis Communication Theory
Authors: Et.al Tariq Saeed Khalfan Barshoud Almarshoodi
Published: April 2021

The prime objective of the current study is to investigate the impact of a crisis on the organizational reputation. For this purpose, the study has employed the Coombs’ situational CC theory (SCCT). Using a case which involved the death of a witness during an interrogation by the government agency; this study analyzed the development of the crisis situation as it unfolded. Subsequently this study assesses the attribution of crisis responsibility three and a half years after the crisis erupted, in order to get a clear picture of its impact on an organization’s reputation. Through the lens of SCCT theory, the present study examines employees’ perceptions of the attribution of crisis responsibility and the relevant organization’s reputation in the context of a preventable crisis. This study attempts to enrich the existing body of knowledge by expanding and developing the SCCT theory in reducing reputational threats. In this study, employees’ positive perceptions may be due to the fact that they think the crisis as something that is manageable and can be controlled. Crisis responsibility as the predictor in the study indicates that even though the origin of the crisis is unknown and to date, the cause is still uncertain, public servants view circumstances, not UAE POLICE, as being responsible for the crises.
Performance Analysis of a Low Power High Speed Hybrid Full Adder Circuit and Full Subtractor Circuit
Authors: Et.al M. Naga Gowtham
Published: April 2021

In this paper, a hybrid 1-bit adder and 1-bit Subtractor designs are implemented. The hybrid adder circuit is constructed using CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) logic along with pass transistor logic. The design can be extended 16 and 32 bits lately. The proposed full adder circuit is compared with the existing conventional adders in terms of power, delay and area in order to obtain a better circuit that serves the present day needs of people. The existing 1-bit hybrid adder uses EXNOR logic combined with the transmission gate logic. For a supply voltage of 1.8V the average power consumption (4.1563 µW) which is extremely low with moderately low delay (224 ps) resulting because of the deliberate incorporation of very weak CMOS inverters coupled with strong transmission gates. At 1.2V supply the power and delay were recorded to be 1.17664 µW and 91.3 ps. The design was implemented using 1-bit which can also be extended into a 32-bit design later. The designed implementation offers a better performance in terms of power and speed compared to the existing full adder design styles. The circuits were implemented in DSCH2 and Microwind tools respectively. The parameters such as power, delay, layout area and speed of the proposed circuit design is compared with pass transistor logic, adiabatic logic, transmission gate adder and so on. The circuit is also designed with a decrease in transistors in order to get the better results. Full Subtractor, a combinational digital circuit which performs 1-bit subtraction with borrow in is designed as a part of this project. The main aim behind this part of the project is to design a 1-bit full Subtractor using CMOS technology with reduced number of transistors and hence the efficiency in terms of area, power and speed have been calculated is designed using 8,10,15and 16 transistors. The parameters were calculated in each case and the results have been tabulated.
Investors Preferences On Investment In Returns Basis
Authors: Et.al Dr. A. Arunachala rajan
Published: April 2021

Investors always want to maximize their return on investments.  Return may take several forms.  Investors expect to receive interest on debentures and dividends on shares.  It is essential for the investors to distinguish between realized return and expected return.  Realised return means return that was earned or could have been earned.  Expected return is the return from an asset that investors anticipate over a future period.  So, expected return is a predicted return.  It may or may not occur.  An investor will be willing to make investment only if the expected return is adequate. But in reality investors do not realise the expected return always. This study is conducted to analyse the returns basis for investor’s preference on investment in Thoothukudi District

The colossal prominence of the World Wide Web in the mid 1990's shown the business capability of offering media assets through the computerized networks. Since business intrigues look to utilize the advanced organizations to offer computerized media revenue driven, they have a solid interest in ensuring their proprietorship rights. Since the danger of utilizing media data, advanced fabrications, and unapproved sharing (robbery) of

 computerized content has expanded among content makers, merchants and clients. Today mixed media data theft alone has exposed all the enterprises to multi-billion income misfortunes. Customary advanced substance security methods, for example, encryption and scrambling, alone can't give satisfactory insurance of copyrighted substance, in light of the fact that these advances can't ensure computerized content whenever they are decoded. One approach to debilitate illicit duplication is to embed data known as watermark, into possibly weak information so that it is difficult to isolate the watermark from the information. Computerized watermarking is the way toward embedding’s an advanced sign or example inside a computerized picture, which gives proof of realness. This paper presents a study on different data concealing strategies and depicts characterization of advanced Watermarking procedures.

Improvement of RSA Algorithm Using Euclidean Technique
Authors: Et.al R. Felista Sugirtha Lizy
Published: April 2021

Information Security has become an essential concern in the modern world. Encryption is an effective way to prevent an unofficial person from viewing the digital information with the secret key. RSA encryption is often used for digital signatures which can prove the authenticity and reliability of a message. As RSA encryption is less competent and resource-heavy, it is not used to encrypt the entire message. If a message is encrypted with a symmetric-key RSA encryption it will be more efficient. Under this process, only the RSA private key will be able to decrypt the symmetric key. The Euclidean algorithm is attainably one of the most extensively known algorithms.  The Euclidean algorithm is used for finding the greatest common divisor of two numbers. The algorithm can also be defined for more general rings than just the integers. This work is very useful to improve the data security in Smart card and Aadhaar card. In this paper, the RSA algorithm is modified using the Euclidean technique to improve its performance. The proposed algorithm shows its better performance in terms of speed, throughput, power consumption, and the avalanche effect. Experimental results and mathematical justification supporting the proposed method are reported.

Design and Implementation of Robust Digital Watermarking using Hybrid technique for Copyright Protection Digital data
Authors: Et. al. Lakshman Ji
Published: April 2021

In this research paper, we concerned with the creation of a comprehensive digital watermarking framework based on DWT. In order to improve imperceptibility and robustness, the watermark is inserted only in chosen frames. The picked frames are the frames in which a change of scene happens. The key objective, therefore, is to detect the correct transformation of the scene. The Scene Shift Detector identifies correct frames that have been modified using the successive histogram discrepancy process. Two schemes proposed using the same method of scene detection. Both suggested schemes achieve a good watermark rating with good (PSNR) valuesThere, Because the watermark integration is done exclusively on the scene with low and high frequency DWT subbands, the image processing assaults, geometric aggressions, JPEG compression, high normalised image attacks are immune,and low-bit error rates (BER). Comparative analysis of two algorithms is also carried out.

Triangular Vertex Transform Based Watermarking on Contourlet Coefficients for Improved Robustness
Authors: Et. al. Reena Thomas
Published: April 2021

A hybrid watermarking scheme based on Triangular Vertex Transform (TVT) and Contourlet coefficients for high robustness is implemented. During watermark embedding, the cover image is first decomposed using Contourlet Transform to obtain high frequency and low frequency coefficients. The lower frequency coefficients are applied with TVT. Then, the W coefficients obtained from TVT are again subdivided. The watermark bit is then embedded on the subdivided coefficients to obtain the watermarked image. Reverse operation is followed in the extraction phase. The performance of this algorithm is evaluated using embedding capacity, Normalized cross correlation (Ncc) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) using standard test images. These evaluation results disclose the domination of proposed scheme over traditional schemes

Analysing the Effect of Financial Risk Perception, Risk Tolerance on Investment Behaviour: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Et. al. M Ramu
Published: April 2021

Investment decision making is a complex process that depends on several factors that vary from one individual to another. Regardless of the type of decision that is made in life, people behave differently. To distinguish between risk tolerance and risk perception, we must first define risk. Risk is, of course, uncertainty about the result. Any decision that casts doubt on at least one of the possible outcomes is risky. Perception is the assessment of a level of risk which usually involves an understanding of the situation, that is, there is an explanation for objective reality. Risk tolerance is the level at which an individual is willing to accept the risks associated with investments. This paper determines the relation between risk perception, risk tolerance and investment behaviour using inferential statistical analysis and draws the conclusions from the obtained results

Published: April 2021

Vehicle Adhoc Network is deployed on the road, where vehicles constitute mobile nodes in which active security and intelligent transportation are important applications of VANET. VANETs are a key part of the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) framework. Sometimes, VANETs are referred as Intelligent Transportation Networks. However, authentication and privacy of users are still two vital issues in VANETs.  In the traditional mode, the transactional data storage provides no distributed and decentralized security, so that the third party initiates the dishonest behaviors possibly. VANET has  temporary participants , communication between vehicles are short-lived messages. Possible situation might happens , adversary may play as an legitimate user and able to perform malicious activity .To address these challenges this paper proposes timestamp based message between users to  perform secure data transmission and give the negligible probability of the attacker. With the help of Certificate Authority (CA) and the RoadSide Units (RSUs), our proposal attains the confidentiality and  trace the identity of the unauthenticated vehicle in the anonymous announcements as well. Finally, through the theoretical analysis and simulations, our scheme is able to implement a secure VANET framework with accountability and privacy preservation

Like most studies conclude, through the characteristics and features that comics provide to the reader, it offers many advantages on how literacy skills develop for children's development, as well as specific skills associated with recognizing reading skills and value-added benefit.This study was discussed extensively on how comics could improve the literacy skills of children particularly for pre-school children's reading comprehension. By conducting focus group discussion, data were qualitatively collected from six pre-school teachers who used comics for their learning and teaching sessions as their pedagogical approach and aids. The finding found that comics showed considerable contribution to enhance pre-school children's literacy skills not only for reading comprehension, but also provided added value that comics needed to improve children's critical thinking. Eventually, comics will be adapted to improve the learning of children in the classroom, and even the issue of implementation would be discussed together as well. The research indicates that teachers are urged to use comics in classroom learning sessions as one of the alternative teaching materials in teaching young children.

Authors: Et.al Carlos Rugu
Published: April 2021

The study aims to examine the development of literature highlights related to motivational elements and gamification content in the implementation of gamification which indirectly creates semantic barriers. A total of 11 local and international literature were examined based on Literature Review Inventory (IVS), which was built on ARCS Model founded by John Keller (2010), consisting of 4 important elements: attention, relevant, confidence and satisfaction as well as referring to Content Gamification Model by Karl M. Kapp et Al (2014) which consist of 7 elements: story, challenge, curiosity, character, interactive, feedback and freedom to fail. Both models focused on four (4) teaching and learning motivational factors in gamification as well as in the aspects of gamification content which are the basic backup in fulfilling the teaching and learning based on gamification. The findings discovered that the main relationship between semantic barrier and gamification process was through meanings with an attempt to deliver the design and implementation of gamification. Barriers of meaning which occur could be the result of some semantic aspect: the barrier of an understanding of motivational concept in gamification based on ARCS Model, gamification elements such as point, badges, levels, leader boards, challenges, reward, on boarding and engagement loops as well as the concept of the fun and implementation of gamification design. This study is important in the effort to expose various constraints and obstacles in the gamification process which needs to be given the attention though the method is interactive and entertaining in nature.

Authors: Et.al Zainizam Zakariya
Published: April 2021

This paper explores the incidence and the outcome of educational and skill mismatchoneconomic growth across state in Malaysia from2006 and 2012.The mismatch indicators were gauged using the Job Analysis (JA) and the mode method.Using micro cross-section data from Labour Force Survey (LFS) between 2006 and 2012, overqualification (underqualification)and overskilling (underskilling) were reported between13 (20) and 19 (34) percent.Results for Fixed Effect (FE) regression demonstrated overqualification and overskilling had a favourable impact on regional growth. By contrast, the growth was negatively associated with an increase in undereducation and underskilling incidence. The findings depict that the economic performance at the regional level in Malaysia is associated with an increase in overqualification and overskilling. The presence of such incidence, therefore, may not be a sign of inefficient public investment and resources allocated to education are in fact economically beneficial at a macro-level.
