Kajian ini adalah bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti pengaruh faktor-faktor latar belakang terhadap sikap pengguna Muslim dalam pembelian produk kosmetik Halal di Selangor. Terdapat empat faktor latar belakang yang dikaji dalam kajian ini iaitu umur, taraf perkahwinan, tahap Pendidikan dan pendapatan pengguna yang bertindak sebagai variabel tidak bersandar serta dua komponen sikap pengguna iaitu kognitif dan afektif sebagai variabel bersandar. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kuantitatif di mana 250 borang soal selidik telah diedarkan melalui platform google form kepada responden. Namun begitu setelah menjalankan proses pemilihan hanya 201 respon diambilkira sah untuk kajian ini. Analisis data dibuat dengan menggunakan Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS) for Windows Version 24.0 dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif, dan MANOVA. Hasil kajian menunjukkan faktor umur dan status perkahwinan dan tahap pendidikan mempengaruhi sikap pengguna muslim terhadap pembelian produk kosmetik halal manakala faktor pendapatan tidak mempengaruhi sikap mereka. Kajian ini seterusnya merumuskan bahawa sikap pengguna terhadap pembelian produk kosmetik halal dipengaruhi oleh faktor umur. Tahap umur yang berbeza akan memberi perbezaan terhadap sikap pengguna sama ada mengambil berat atau tidak terhadap kepentingan mengutamakan produk kosmetik halal dalam pembelian mereka. Kajian ini juga mencadangkan agar kajian lanjutan dilakukan ke atas faktor-faktor lain seperti jantina, bangsa, pemilihan jenama serta tempat tinggal pengguna sama ada di bandar atau luar bandar.

Published: September 2024

Dalam era digital yang pesat membangun, kecerdasan buatan (AI) membuka dimensi baharu dalam pendekatan pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP). Walau bagaimanapun, pemanfaatan elemen AI dalam pengajaran mata pelajaran umum (MPU) di universiti seperti Falsafah dan Isu Semasa masih terhad. Kaedah pengajaran tradisional yang diamalkan didapati kurang berkesan untuk menarik minat generasi digital yang lebih cenderung kepada rangsangan visual dan interaktif. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan bagi meneroka potensi penggunaan chatbot AI Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) dalam memperkayakan proses pengajaran Falsafah dan Isu Semasa kepada golongan pelajar generasi digital. Kajian ini membangunkan dan mengimplementasikan chatbot Sophia AI, sebuah inovasi berasaskan teknologi GPT, yang direka khusus untuk pengajaran Falsafah dan Isu Semasa. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa Sophia AI berupaya menyediakan pengalaman pembelajaran yang lebih interaktif dan disesuaikan mengikut keperluan individu, memudahkan pemahaman konsep abstrak menerusi dialog yang responsif dan intuitif, serta selari dengan kecenderungan pembelajaran golongan pelajar generasi digital. Dapatan kajian ini penting dalam usaha merangka strategi pengajaran yang lebih berkesan, bukan sahaja untuk meningkatkan tahap pemahaman pelajar terhadap Falsafah dan Isu Semasa, bahkan turut melengkapkan mereka dengan kemahiran berfikir secara kritis yang amat diperlukan dalam era digital. Kajian ini menggariskan potensi pemanfaatan AI dalam memformulasikan pendekatan pengajaran inovatif yang menepati keperluan dan gaya pembelajaran pelajar kontemporari, sambil membuka ruang untuk penyelidikan lanjut mengenai keberkesanan jangka panjang integrasi AI dalam pendidikan tinggi.

Authors: Abdullah Nasimah , Abd. Rahman Lubna , Samsudin Saifulah , Mansor Naqibah
Published: September 2024

Perkembangan teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi (ICT) telah menjadikan penggunaan teknologi dalam proses pengajaran adalah sangat signifikan. Hal ini adalah kerana penggunaan teknologi mampu mewujudkan pengalaman baharu yang lebih menyeronokkan dan menarik dalam proses pembelajaran. Namun begitu, timbul persoalan tentang kesediaan tenaga pengajar itu sendiri dalam usaha memanfaatkan pendekatan teknologi dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran, selain masalah keberadaan bahan bantu mengajar yang bersifat teknologi yang boleh menyokong tenaga pengajar ke arah penggunaan teknologi. Oleh itu, kajian ini dijalankan untuk meninjau potensi penggunaan aplikasi mudah alih di kalangan tenaga pengajar sebagai bahan bantu mengajar bagi subjek balaghah. Kajian ini hanya memfokuskan pengajaran terjemahan kinayah al-Quran kepada bahasa Melayu. Kajian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui temubual bersama lima (5) orang tenaga pengajar subjek balaghah di dua (2) institusi iaitu Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS) dan Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). Hasil temubual menunjukkan bahawa tenaga pengajar memberikan maklum balas positif bukan sahaja dari segi kesediaan mereka mengoptimumkan penggunaan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran dan pengajaran (PdP), malah juga dari segi sokongan kepada keberadaan aplikasi mudah alih itu sendiri sebagai bahan bantu mengajar bagi terjemahan kinayah al-Quran. Oleh itu, kajian yang menjurus kepada penginovasian dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran subjek balaghah perlu diusahakan agar boleh menyediakan alternatif kepada bahan bantu mengajar yang bersifat teknologi, selain boleh meningkatkan penguasaan pelajar terhadap subjek balaghah umumnya dan tajuk kinayah khususnya.

Effectively Utilizing Infrastructure to Achieve Economic and Societal Growth in Developing Countries
Authors: Xu Derek Mingda
Published: September 2024

Developing countries can benefit economically and socially from the construction of infrastructure. However, poor policy decisions regarding investment in public goods and services often impede infrastructure’s effectiveness in achieving such benefits. This paper seeks to provide a coherent framework for developing countries to consider when planning and implementing infrastructure projects. Gathering insights and policy suggestions from various relevant studies, it proposes three factors necessary for developing countries to consider. These three factors emphasize individual quality of life and long-term development instead of simple short-term economic growth described by basic economic indicators. They also account for the social and environmental concerns or implications of infrastructure construction, often overlooked in many policy agendas. The first factor is the efficiency of expenditure and accessibility of infrastructure, achieved through the consideration of diminishing returns to scale for capital investment and an emphasis on the delivery, not just the provision, of public services; the second is resilience and sustainability in the context of local environmental attributes and regional independence during the decision-making process; the third is the maximization of indirect benefits, most notably the increases in human capital and productivity caused by infrastructure construction.

The Influence of English Language Exposure on Language Attitudes and Identity among Chinese Youth
Authors: Zhang Ming , ROSALIE D. MERIALES
Published: September 2024

This research aims to examine the influence of exposure to the English language on the linguistic attitudes and identity of Chinese students. The analysis examines the characteristics of respondents according to their gender, academic program, and socio-economic background. It evaluates their level of English exposure via formal education, media consumption, digital communication, literature, social interactions, travel experiences, self-study, and familial influences. Although English exposure is typically considered reasonably beneficial, the research reveals significant disparities depending on gender and socio-economic level. The impact of English exposure on emotional components of language attitudes is moderate, whereas its influence on cognitive, evaluative, social, perceptual, and contextual elements is relatively modest. The research also demonstrates that English exposure substantially impacts students' identity, namely in terms of historical and cultural background, language preference, and regional identification. Furthermore, a modest but favorable association exists between exposure to English and the general sense of self among Chinese students. At the same time, formal schooling and social contacts have a more significant impact. Based on these results, the research proposes customized language programs, immersive experiences, and various learning resources to improve English acquisition and its influence on students' identities.
Exploring the Impact of Cultural Policies on the Inheritance and Performance of Ersu Tibetan Folk Songs
Authors: Liu Qiang
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the effects of cultural policies on the performance and inheritance of Ersu Tibetan folk songs in Xieluo Township, Sichuan Province, China. The Ersu Tibetans, a small branch of the Tibetan ethnic group, have experienced significant transformations in their cultural practices due to government efforts to preserve and promote their intangible cultural heritage (ICH). These policies, while contributing to economic benefits and visibility, have also led to shifts in performers' identities and a growing commercialization of their traditional music. Through ethnographic fieldwork, this study examines the tensions between cultural preservation and commercialization and offers policy recommendations to balance the authenticity of Ersu Tibetan folk songs with modern performance demands.

Machine Learning Driven Options Pricing Model for Changing Market Conditions
Authors: Yuan Ling , Chen Jihua
Published: September 2024

This paper presents the design and implementation of an Adaptive Options Pricing Model utilizing deep learning techniques to enhance the accuracy of options pricing in volatile financial markets. Traditional models such as the Black-Scholes and Binomial frameworks have served as foundational tools in options pricing; however, they are constrained by assumptions of constant volatility and market efficiency, which often fail to reflect real-world dynamics. To address these limitations, the proposed model incorporates historical pricing data alongside real-time market sentiment derived from news articles and social media. By leveraging advanced deep learning architectures, particularly Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, the model dynamically adapts to changing market conditions, capturing complex, nonlinear relationships in the data. The performance of the model is evaluated against traditional pricing methods, demonstrating significant improvements in pricing accuracy and responsiveness to market fluctuations. This research contributes valuable insights for traders and risk managers seeking to optimize their strategies in the derivatives market.

Published: September 2024

Papaya leaf curl China virus (PaLCuCNV) is a damaging plant pathogen causing substantial losses to crop. The complete genomes of three PaLCuCNV isolates from Ageratum conyzoides were obtained and combined with the 68 reference isolates in GenBank for comprehensive genetic diversity analyses using specialized computational tools. Sequence alignment revealed nucleotide sequence similarity ranging from 85.3% to 99.9% among 71 PaLCuCNV isolates. Employing phylogenetic analysis, 71 PaLCuCNV sequences were clustered into five groups, with no significant correlation observed between genetic differentiation and either host species or geographical origin. Additionally, 13 recombination events across all PaLCuCNV isolates were identified. Genetic diversity analysis indicated the ongoing expansion and evolution of PaLCuCNV populations, supported by a neutral model. Moreover, significant genetic differentiation was observed among distinct viral populations, primarily attributed to genetic drift. Overall, our findings provide valuable insights into the detection, genetic variation, and evolutionary dynamics of PaLCuCNV.

Cereal, including barley, wheat, and oats, is a major winter food crop in Korea. Despite recent changes in agricultural environments in response to climate change, fungal diseases that could affect cereal productivity remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the incidence of diseases in barley, wheat, and oats in the southern part of Korea. We collected fungal pathogens from seven locations where cereals were grown. In March-April of 2020 and 2021, a total of 92 fungal isolates were collected, mainly from the stem base or leaves of cereal crops during the tillering and stem extension stages of cereals in Korea. The collected isolates were identified based on morphological and molecular biological characteristics. The dominant species was Ceratobasidium cereale (42.4%), followed by Pyrenophora teres (21.7%), P. avenae (10.9%), Alternaria alternata (6.5%), and Epicoccum tobaicum (6.5%). In addition, P. tritici-repentis (3.3%), Cladosporium sp. (3.3%), Fusarium sp. (3.3%), and Nigrospora sp. (2.2%) were also collected as minority groups. Our results will provide information on fungal pathogens that occur during the growing season of cereals in Korea, particularly during the tillering and stem extension stages. In addition, the isolates collected from this study can serve as a valuable resource for conducting simulations on climate change, focusing on temperature and humidity.

Since its initial outbreak in Korea in 2015, fire blight has consistently emerged annually. Fire blight outbreaks usually begin in May, peak in June, and decline in July in Korea. In this study, we analyzed cases that exhibit a distinct pattern of disease occurrence based on yearly weather conditions from 2020 to 2023. In 2020, fire bight disease occurrence began in late May. Although the disease incidence started late by the low temperatures in April, which caused flowering period delayed, the incidence increased significantly due to the high risk of blossom infection. In 2021, the first outbreak began in late April because the flower infection started in early April. In 2022, despite the high blossom infection risk during the flowering period in April and the high incidence of fire blight in May, the incidence decreased sharply from June due to the low rainfall in May. In 2023, due to torrential rains and hail in late June, the incidence of fire blight increased even in July. Considering the weather factors that affect the increase of fire blight disease, it is suggested that control measures to prevent the fire blight infection should be carried out before and after wind-driven rains.
The Influence of Critical Thinking on Political Tolerance among High School Students in South Korea
Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Park Sena , Mo Kyung-Hwan
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the relationship between critical thinking and political
tolerance among high school students in South Korea, addressing gaps in current
educational approaches that emphasize tolerance as an abstract value without
adequately equipping students to confront the roots of intolerance. The research
examines how critical thinking skills and dispositions influence political tolerance,
proposing enhancements to social studies curricula.
Using a sample of 300 high school students from the Seoul metropolitan area, the
study employs multiple regression analysis to test two hypotheses: that critical
thinking positively influences political tolerance, and that critical thinking dispositions
moderate this relationship. The findings indicate that both critical thinking skills and
dispositions significantly enhance political tolerance; however, the moderating effect of
dispositions was not statistically significant.
These results underscore the importance of integrating critical thinking into
political education, suggesting that fostering such skills and dispositions may more
effectively promote political tolerance and democratic values than traditional methods.
The study offers valuable insights for educators seeking to improve political tolerance
education in South Korea.
Development of an AI-Based Educational Service for Generating Convergence Inquiries Utilizing Big History: OASIS

Published: September 2024

This study aims to design an AI-based educational service using Big History to enhance
convergence competency in secondary school students and to evaluate the effectiveness and
satisfaction of the designed service, OASIS(Online AI-based Service for Inquiry Studies).
Through three stages of model improvement, the core model OASIS was developed.
Convergence competency tests were conducted on 128 first-year high school students before
and after using OASIS. Additionally, the effectiveness and user satisfaction were evaluated
by a user satisfaction survey conducted with the same students and 15 educational experts.
OASIS utilizes ChatGPT to provide multidisciplinary information on input keywords,
thereby enhancing interdisciplinary understanding. The service is structured to foster
convergence competency through the creation of convergence inquiries and interactive
activities. The results of the convergence competency tendency test and user satisfaction
survey indicated that the use of OASIS helped enhance students' convergence competency
and showed high satisfaction regarding the usefulness of information. However, limitations
such as the inaccuracy of information and slow loading speeds were noted. Addressing
these limitations could improve the service’s applicability in secondary education for
fostering convergence.
A Study on the Direction of Relieving Speaking Anxiety through Educational Communication
Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Seo Gyeong Yun , Kim Sang Hyun
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to consider the causes of the problem that
students have accumulated speaking experience in the classroom and the
symptoms of speaking anxiety intensify even if they go up in grade, and to
find educational communication direction for resolving speaking anxiety. In
chapter 2, explains the causes and types of speaking anxiety, limitations of
the solution currently proposed. Chapter 3 proposes educational
communication methods to activate communication in the classroom. First, in
terms of communication attitudes, the contents suggest an empathetic
communication method through Herman Hesse’s novel Siddhartha. Second, in
terms of communication purposes, the contents suggest a communication
behavior that aims for mutual understanding among classroom members
through Habermas’s communication theory. Third, in terms of communication
methods, the contents suggest using a type of group communication to solve
common problems.

Introduction:

Previous research has highlighted conflicts of interest stemming from industry funding and education of orthopaedic surgeons. This study sought to define the nature and magnitude of industry payments to orthopaedic surgery fellowship program directors (FPDs) in the United States.

Methods:

This was a retrospective cohort study of orthopaedic surgery FPDs during 2021. Data were obtained from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Profiles of orthopaedic surgery FPDs were obtained for ACGME-accredited and non-ACGME–accredited training programs. Nonresearch industry payments from 2015 to 2021 were extracted and adjusted for inflation. Temporal trends were analyzed through the calculation of compound annual growth rates. Comparisons were made with nonparametric tests.

Results:

Of 600 orthopaedic surgery FPDs, 596 received industry funding (99%), which totaled $340.6 million over the study period. A trend toward greater total annual industry payments over the study period was observed (compound annual growth rate = 3.3%, P = 0.009). Most industry payments were for royalties or licensing ($246.6 million, 72.4%) and consulting fees ($53.6 million, 15.7%). The median total payment per orthopaedic surgery FPD was $49,971 (interquartile range [IQR], $291,674), with 22% receiving between $100,000 and $500,000 and 17% receiving more than $500,000. The highest annual industry payments existed in shoulder and elbow ($41,489, IQR, $170,613) and spine surgery ($26,103; IQR, $84,968). ACGME accreditation status did not influence the magnitude of industry compensation to orthopaedic surgery FPDs across subspecialties (P > 0.05). Men had higher total median annual industry payments versus women ($7,799 [IQR, $47,712] versus $1,298 [IQR, $6,169], P < 0.001).

Discussion:

Industry payments to orthopaedic surgery FPDs are ubiquitous, but the magnitude varies by subspecialty. Most industry funding was found in shoulder and elbow and spine surgery. Standards for orthopaedic fellowship education, such as those upheld by accrediting bodies, should include guidelines on how FPDs handle and disclose financial relationships with industry.

The paper presents the synthesis and evaluation of hydration and binding properties of individual minerals with glass-like structures in silicate systems, most often found in technogenic materials based on phosphorus and blast furnace slags. This work aims to determine the optimum composition of CS glasses to obtain binders with given properties, the hydration of glasses of different silicate and aluminosilicate compositions in the presence of solutions of soda, sodium hydroxide, and sodium metasilicate was investigated. The results of X-ray phase and differential-thermal analysis, and infrared spectrum are given, and the hydration structure of the calcium oxide-silicon oxide-alkali component system has been studied. The analysis of hydrate neoplasms of the studied binding systems shows that the most optimal conditions for the synthesis of stone strength with stable physical and mechanical properties are created in the presence of gel-like phase reinforced by hydrosilicates and hydroaluminosilicates of alkaline and alkaline-alkaline-earth composition, characterized by fiber-like structure and possessing the ability to epitaxial fusion with each other, as well as gel-like phase, which they reinforce.
