Authors: Sabanwar Vivek , Dasgupta Chandan , Arya Kavi
Published: July 2024

The ill-structured nature of engineering design problems brings inherent uncertainties as engineers attempt to solve them. Such a problem-solving activity requires extensive collaboration among team members towards productive uncertainty management. The nature of this collaboration varies among groups depending upon the positional framing among the members. Novices often have unsupportive collaboration structures leading to unproductive uncertainty management. This paper discusses the effects of prompting novices to reflect while they solve an engineering design task. A study was conducted to analyze the role of reflective prompts in productive uncertainty management. As the participants begin to reflect due to prompting, a shift in positional framing was observed among the members. It was also observed that team members actively participated and contributed to the problem-solving activity because of reflection due to prompting. The potential role of reflective prompting in shift in positional framing towards productive uncertainty management is thus explored and presented.

‘ZOUFAN’ AS A ‘TREE HOLE’ FOR ONLINE SHARING OF DEPRESSION: PARTICIPATION PATTERNS, DOMINANT TOPICS AND LINGUISTIC FEATURES
Authors: Chen Yating
Published: July 2024

The concept of ‘tree hole’ in social media has provided a disinhibited space for depressed individuals to communicate their depressive feelings, emotions and experiences freely. Its proliferation underscores an increasing need for such online spaces. However, their operational mechanisms, content dynamics, and implications for mental health remain under-explored, especially in the Mainland Chinese context. This study describes and interprets what is going on under ‘Zoufan’, the largest ‘tree hole’ on Weibo in China, by analyzing the patterns of online community engagement concerning discussions on depression. In an overarching project, a total of 67,614 comments under the last farewell post of ‘Zoufan’ were collected and compiled for an overview of the user’s participation patterns. This paper draws upon a set of data manually coded on the selected topics and a fine-grained analysis of linguistic features. The findings indicate a limited interest among selected users in interacting with others, with most of the content focusing on their adverse emotional states and the difficulties they face within interpersonal relationships. Moreover, the expressions contain a strong sense of negation and inhibition, often conveyed through fragmented narratives. The implications of this study help stakeholders, especially family members, educators, and mental health workers, to better understand the mental health outcomes of participation in online depression sharing. This, in turn, facilitates a more nuanced approach to addressing depression both online and in real-life interventions.

Published: July 2024

Enormous waste of cooking oil is produced daily in households and food service industries. It can harm the consumer's or the environment's health if not handled and disposed of properly. To help lessen the disposal and over-reused consumption of used cooking oil, the researchers devised purifying used cooking oil using Zingiber officinale (Ginger) as an adsorbent. The selected cooking oil employed in this study is Canola oil, a low-cost vegetable oil widely known for its healthy content. The researcher utilized a quantitative research design to obtain the desired data. Two experiments were conducted: first, purifying the used Canola oil using Ginger, and second, testing the free fatty acid content of the unused, used, and used Canola oil. The results revealed that the FFA content of the used Canola oil is 19.18% in 5g and 16.92% in 3g. As for the purified Canola oil, the percentage in 5g is 12.41%, while it is 16.92% in 3g. The FFA content of the samples was compared using the one-way ANOVA test and paired t-test. Based on the gathered data, the results indicate a low significant difference between the free fatty acid content of the used Canola oil and purified used Canola oil is relatively low. Thus, using Ginger as an adsorbent does not significantly affect the purification process. Further research is recommended in this study as alterations, measurements, and proportions during the experimentations may affect the data results.
EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL OF VEGETATION STRUCTURES (VS) AND LANDSCAPE ORIENTATION IN MINIMIZING THERMAL PERFORMANCE IN A TROPICAL CLIMATE: A FIELDWORK STUDY
Authors: Kamarulzaman Noorazlina , Ismail Mazran
Published: July 2024

The study investigates the impact of vegetation structure within two landscape orientations on thermal performance, a critical consideration in urban planning and environmental management. Given the increasing concerns about Urban Heat Islands and global warming, understanding how vegetation influences thermal regulation is essential. This research employed a quantitative method through field measurement studies, focusing on two single-storey semi-detached houses namely East Landscape Orientation (ELO) and West Landscape Orientation (WLO) located at Seri Iskandar, Perak Malaysia. The snowball technique was utilized to select the case study houses, ensuring a targeted approach to understanding the effects. Thermal Microclimate Data Logger and Indoor Air Quality Monitor Data Logger were used to measure environmental parameters for thermal conditions, ensuring consistent, reliable, and comprehensive data for analyzing thermal performance in both outdoor and indoor environments. The research findings reveal that the orientation of a house relative to the sun's path significantly impacts its thermal dynamics, with vegetation playing a crucial role in moderating these effects. ELO houses benefit from milder morning sunlight and effective afternoon cooling, while WLO houses experience higher outdoor and indoor temperatures due to intense sunlight and less efficient transpiration by vegetation. Vegetation on the west side provides shade and reduces heat absorption, improving comfort and energy efficiency. Understanding these dynamics can help homeowners and architects make informed decisions about landscape design, enhancing thermal comfort and energy efficiency in homes. This research also contributes to the expanding knowledge base on sustainable urban design by exploring the use of vegetation to enhance thermal performance.
DISMANTLING WASTED KNITWEAR INTO A REUSABLE MATERIAL TO PREVENT WASTEFULNESS IN ISLAM
Authors: Ixora Wan Nadhra , Saidan Suriati , Saaidin Husna , Zakaria Hisyam
Published: July 2024

In the Islamic faith, there is an emphasis on the importance of avoiding wastefulness. According to Salau (2020), Muslims are encouraged to be mindful of their consumption and use resources responsibly, discouraging excessive wastefulness known as "israf." The act of recycling and repurposing materials is seen as positive and aligns with this principle. In Malaysia, there is a growing issue of textile waste. According to (Khalid, 2021) Approximately 195,300 tons of fabric waste are discarded in the country, accounting for 6.3% of the total 3.1 million tons of solid waste that ends up in landfills. The abundance of clothing in thrift stores is a consequence of the fast fashion industry's rapid production, resulting in lower quality and cheaper prices. To address this problem, a research innovation has identified discarded winter knitwear as a viable material and developed a successful process to convert it into reusable material. This innovation aims to create new products from transformed knitwear, thereby helping consumers reduce textile waste in landfills by providing them with reusable recycled material.

Published: July 2024

This paper examines the concept of bona vacantia, or ownerless goods, in West Malaysia, probing into legal, practical, and societal perspectives. It highlights the differences in handling these assets under Islamic law (Sharia) for Muslims and civil law for non-Muslims, with the former reverting ownerless assets to Baitulmal and the latter managing them through the federal government or state authority. This paper highlights the inefficiencies and inconsistencies in bona vacantia administration, which leads to fragmented legal provisions, administrative variances, and challenges for small estate claims. Furthermore, a lack of data on ownerless estates exacerbates these problems. It thoroughly analyses the legal framework, issues and challenges using a qualitative approach, based on a literature review and interview with the Unclaimed Money Management Division (BWTD). The study was also conducted using a library research approach, incorporating qualitative exploratory and descriptive methodologies. Data analysis was performed through content analysis. Bibliographic references encompass information obtained from various mediums including journals, conference proceedings, and online media. The conclusion advocates the need for collaborative efforts among stakeholders to address these challenges and develop standardised procedures and policies. The integration of multiple disciplines is essential for developing efficient strategies and solutions to handle ownerless properties. We anticipate that this collaborative endeavour will be a critical milestone in addressing the complexities of bona vacantia management.

This article examines the ramifications of the recent Federal Court judgment in the case of Nik Elin Zurina Nik Abdul Rashid & Anor v. Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan to the position of the Syariah Court in Malaysia. The judgment of the case witnessed 16 out of 18 provisions of the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code Enactment 2019 which have been challenged on the ground of unconstitutional be declared null and void by the Federal Court. This has given rise to the state of anxiety and dissatisfaction particularly among Muslims community who feels that the position of the Syariah Court has been degraded. The study employs qualitative study in analysing relevant materials that comprised of statutory laws, journal articles and cases law relating to the issue of constitution and conflict of laws. The finding shows that the verdict made by the Federal Court in Nik Elin’s case does not affect the position of Syariah Court in Malaysia since it has nothing to do with the issue of Islamic doctrine. Thus, this article concludes that in the process of making laws, legislative bodies must always have the power and competency to do so in the spirit of preserving the supremacy of the Federal Constitution as the highest law in Malaysia.

Published: July 2024

In mastering the English language, learners need to be able to comply with its grammatical rules. Most previous corpus-based studies about learners’ grammar errors have examined the non-Malaysian context. Therefore, the overarching aim of this study is to investigate simple past tense errors in Malaysian English as a Second Language (ESL) secondary school learners’ writing. Employing a corpus-based error analysis approach, it specifically intends to identify the types of simple past tense errors in Malaysian ESL secondary school learners’ writing and the frequency of simple past tense errors in Malaysian ESL secondary school learners’ writing. To this end, the English of Malaysian School Students (EMAS) corpus, in particular the sub-corpus of Malaysian learners’ narrative essays was analysed based on two main frameworks. The Error Analysis Framework was adapted for the error analysis procedure, while the Surface Strategy Taxonomy Framework was used for the classification of types of errors. Online corpus tools such as Part-Of-Speech (POS) the Constituent Likelihood Automatic Word-Tagging System (CLAWS) and Antconc version 3.5.8 were employed as the instruments of the study. The findings of the study showed that there are three types of simple past tense errors in the learners’ writing, namely Error of Omission, Error of Addition and Error of Misformation. Misformation is the most popular type of simple past tense error committed by the learners. The findings of the study would be useful for the Malaysian context of ESL learners’ curriculum design and pedagogy.

Effective characteristics of online teaching also warrant exploration given the future widespread use of online and distance learning (ODL). This study aimed to (1) determine university students’ perceptions on good qualities of an educator and (2) explore ideal traits of an educator while implementing ODL during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study using pre-validated questionnaire was conducted virtually using Google form between May and August 2022 among students attending Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Pulau Pinang. A total of 126 respondents completed the survey. Findings revealed unanimous agreement among students on educators needing to be credible, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, considerate, unbiased, and equipped with a systematic lesson plan. Overall, 64.3% of respondents (n = 81) were satisfied with the ODL implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most likely contributing cause to students’ satisfaction was due to the flexibility of ODL. In contrast, poor internet connection and overwhelming assignments which compromised students’ well-being were the major contributing causes of dissatisfaction in ODL. Furthermore, most students valued the educators’ interpersonal characteristics namely compassion and empathetic as well as approaches such as providing continuous motivation and moral support essential in encouraging their online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study had successfully revealed university students perceived good personal and teaching qualities of an educator. The findings also shed light on educators’ ideal interpersonal characteristics that were deemed essential in helping students to cruise through the ebb and flow of virtual learning during a pandemic. Additionally, the study highlighted both positive and negative perspectives on ODL implementation, providing valuable insights for educators to enhance both physical and virtual learning experiences.

Abstract:
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the association of low back pain in young adults with most likely involved spinal level by MRI findings of their lumbar spinal segment.
Methods: The current study was conducted on 120 adults aged 25 to 40 years with low back pain. Lumbar spinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of these subjects was collected from Capital Diagnostic Center, Islamabad. Patients with any trauma, spinal surgery or fracture, active malignancy, metabolic bone disease, rheumatoid arthritis or pregnancy were excluded from the study. Disc and non-disc related parameters were evaluated from L1- L5 spinal levels. Further, gender based difference in magnetic resonance imaging findings was also assessed. Results: All the adults with low back pain showed some degree of disc degeneration on Pfirrmann grading system. The disc related MRI findings were more prevalent at lower lumbar spine levels L4-5 & L5-S1. On gender comparison, no significant difference of spinal level was found in males and females. However, it was revealed that males mostly had asymmetrical disc bulge (p = 0.03) and females were having facet joint involvement (p = 0.005).  Conclusion: In young adults with low back pain, lower lumbar spinal levels were involved. Disc degeneration was mostly found in lower lumbar spinal levels without any gender difference. However, other underlying factors of low back pain may differ in males and females.

The significant increase in diabetes prevalence in the past decade has placed a considerable strain on the global healthcare system, especially in developing nations such as Pakistan. Although current therapy options effectively manage blood glucose levels, their accompanying adverse effects can hinder patient adherence. This study investigates the therapeutic properties of Canagliflozin, a SGLT-2 inhibitor, recognized for its tolerance and supplementary advantages on body weight and blood pressure, when used in combination with Zinc Sulphate. Zinc is acknowledged for its function in the regulation of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. The study involved the use of a type-2 diabetic rat model, induced by a high-fat diet and streptozotocin to examine the separate and combined impacts of Canagliflozin and Zinc Sulphate on the liver's histology. A total of forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into six groups and the treatments were delivered for eight weeks. Body weights were observed and histological evaluations of the liver were performed with the NASH-CRN scoring system. The findings exhibited a notable decrease in body weight among the diabetic-induced groups in comparison to the normal control. The combined utilization of Canagliflozin and Zinc Sulphate showed a heightened efficacy in managing diabetes related weight loss and steatosis of liver in the rat model having type-2 diabetes. This indicates a possible combined treatment strategy that should be further investigated to enhance the management of hepatic steatosis in individuals with diabetes. The study also proposes the potential for using a reduced dosage of Canagliflozin in combination with Zinc, so limiting adverse effects.

Authors: Córdoba Porras Alfonso , Arbeláez Luis F. , Castañeda Ospina Serguei
Published: July 2024

Objetivo: determinar la concentración de Hcy en individuos sanos de la ciudad de Medellín.
Material y métodos: se seleccionaron 57 individuos que decidieron voluntariamente participar. De éstos, se incluyeron 48 (30 mujeres y 18 hombres). Con un promedio de edad de 35+3,5 años, sin antecedentes de alteración metabólica, manifestación clínica de hipertensión arterial o de enfermedades cardiovasculares.
Resultados: la concentración promedio de Hcy plasmática en ayuno fue de 8,5 ± 3,7 μmoles/l (intervalo de confianza del 95% 7,45 9,54 μmoles/l para el grupo en general). Por género, el promedio fue de 7.6±2.7 μmoles/l en las mujeres (intervalo de confianza 95% de 6,6 8,6 μmoles/l) y de 10.1 ±4,7 μmoles/Ι en los hombres (intervalo de confianza 95% de 7,9 12,3 μmoles/l). Esta fue significativamente mayor en los hombres que en las mujeres (p < 0.02). El limite superior normal fue de 13,0 μmoles/Ι en las mujeres y de 19,5 μmoles/Ι en los hombres. El 8,3% presentó hiperhomocisteinemia moderada (dos hombres y dos mujeres).
Conclusión: los resultados de esta primera aproximación a la concentración de Hcy en una población colombiana sugieren que ésta difiere de la de otros países y confirma las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. Estos datos deben ser confirmados por un estudio que involucre un mayor número de individuos y que determine su importancia como factor de riesgo en la población general y en pacientes con enfermedades cardiovasculares

Este estudo objetiva entender o papel das políticas públicas na atividade leiteira e como elas influenciam no desenvolvimento local em três municípios estudados: Jiquiriçá, Ubaíra e Santa Inês (Bahia). A atividade vem crescendo nesses três municípios e tem desempenhado um papel importante para a economia local. Para alcançar o objetivo da investigação, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico sobre agricultura familiar, produção leiteira, desenvolvimento local e políticas públicas. Entre os principais resultados obtidos, constatou-se uma interrelação entre as políticas públicas e atividade leiteira, tendo em vista o desenvolvimento local, necessitando de uma intervenção mais ativa, especialmente de órgãos como as prefeituras locais, para estimular a produção na região.
