Authors: Lim Yong Hooi , Salleh Mad Ithnin , Md Latip Nor Azrin
Published: January 2023

Employee retention (ER) among academic staff remains a major challenge for the universities and deserve more attention from researchers. Due to radical change in teaching method place additional pressure on the academic staff and lead to high turnover. Job embeddedness can be more significantly explain the variance in ER. However, little research done to examine the relationship between Off-the-job-embeddedness (JEoff) and on-the-job-embeddedness (JEon). Furthermore, due to the unclear conclusion for the impact of JEoff and JEon on ER based on past studies, this study aims to exam the relationship between JEoff and JEon as well as both impact on ER. The stratified sampling technique was used to draw 482 samples from population. The model was tested by applying The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). JEoff and JEon were found to have direct significant impact on ER. But the effect size of JEoff on ER is smaller as compared with JEon. Moreover, JEoff could be related to JEon significantly with the largest level of effect-size. ER could be increased by enhancing JEoff through JEon as mediator. This study provides additional insight for human resource practitioners from Malaysian Private Universities in designing more effective system to retain their academic staff.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) Malaysia directed that every teacher of secondary schools is responsible to prepare lesson plan for each lesson when teaching in a class. The paper reports the use of a prototype system by school teachers to produce digital lesson plans. The system was developed utilising the ADDIE Model. Five teachers from Kian Kok High School, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah was selected to test-run the system. They were also observed for teaching using the digital lesson plan. The results of the interview were analysed in a qualitative way. The findings showed that all the five respondents agreed the system was able to function smoothly to create digital lesson plan. Many other functions were tested and also reported to be successful. The result of the teaching observation also proved that the digital lesson plan is useful for the teachers and also able to maintain lesson plan standard fixed by the MOE. Many challenges were reported by the respondents but the researcher was only managed to attend to some of them only due to financial constraints of the grant. The research concluded that lesson plans generator that is reliable and effective must be in the online mode in a future so that users can be engaged online for more teaching resources.

Published: January 2023

This study aims to examine the level of professionalism of religious primary school teachers of the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department (JAWI) on the practice of teaching implementation. This study involved 274 teachers of Religious Primary School (SRA) JAWI in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. Quantitative data using a questionnaire instrument were analyzed descriptively using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 to obtain the frequency, percentage, mean, interpretation, and standard deviation. The results of the study on the level of professionalism of religious primary school teachers of the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department (JAWI) on the practice of teaching implementation recorded a high level (M=4.20, S.D = 0.26). Indeed, the level of professionalism of SRA-JAWI teachers towards the practice of teaching implementation is positive but has weaknesses in terms of the application of computers in teaching. Thus, while conducting the teaching process, a teacher must take into account the constraints encountered while using ICT in teaching sessions to be applied and the readiness of teachers to do ICT-based teaching in order to be more effective. In conclusion, the study shows that the level of professionalism of SRA-JAWI teachers on the practice of teaching implementation is very good.

Published: January 2023

The focus of the discussion in this paper is about the use of the Malay language among plural societies in Malaysia. This writing attempts to cover the empowerment of the Malay language that is being worked on by the Ministry of Higher Education, which includes (i) the mastery of the Malay language regardless of race or ethnicity, (ii) the ability and authority of the Malay language, (iii) the organization and strengthening of programs to dignify the Malay language, and (iv) the use of the Malay language as the medium of communication. The use of a qualitative approach in this writing utilizes secondary sources such as research results in journals, scholarly writing, online news sources and public forums. The results of the study found that (a) the use of English today as the first medium in speech is a contributing factor to the lack of use of the mother tongue among the multi-ethnic community in Malaysia and instils an individualistic attitude., (b) the use of the Malay language in the private sector has not been prominent because there are a few parties who think that the Malay language has a low commercial value in the business sector, (c) Malay language empowerment programs play a vital role in catalysing the fluency of students as well as the administrative parties at the school and university level so that, issues such as lack of fluency and the dignity of the use of the Malay language as an official language that should be mastered by every Malaysian citizen can be improved and streamlined and (d) If Malay is not used as a medium of instruction, it is unlikely that it will be able to stand majestically on the world stage. As a result, drastic measures must be taken to ensure that the empowerment of the Malay language is in line with the country's development and does not fall solely on the shoulders of the Ministry of Education and Culture. The study's direction looks at the continuation of the impact of the Malay language's empowerment as a language of unity and one of the mediums that play a role in realising our country's aspirations, which is to create racial harmony.

Published: January 2023

Communication strategies involves the vast range of linguistic and paralinguistic techniques such as the use of negotiation of meaning to the very complex facial expressions. Despite being highly human based, the use of communication strategies needs to be learned and developed. The Malaysian classified variety, topic fronting, is a highly utilised communication strategy. However, despite being an achievement strategy, topic fronting does not abide by the English language grammatical rule. Although one of the primary factors of communication strategy is the independence from linguistic rules, a rampant use of this strategy among ESL learners might affect them adversely especially in academic discourse. This study looked into this strategy among the TESL practitioners from Universiti Malaysia Sabah. The findings obtained from their focus group discussions (FGD) identified four themes in the utilisation of topic fronting methods of overcoming it as well as the inculcation of suitable communication strategies. This study’s findings show that low utilisation of topic fronting should be able to allow the reformulation of the current communication strategy training.

Quarantine, isolation, and social distancing were essential for preventing the transmission of the virus and protecting people's physical fitness during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, they may have had lasting negative impacts, notably on mental health and well-being, especially on higher education students, as they are in a pivotal life-transition stage linked to increased mental health crises. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to assess the influential factors associated with mental health crises among foundation-level students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study involved 277 students from the foundation of science programme at the Preparatory Centre of Science and Technology, University of Malaysia Sabah. A questionnaire was originally constructed to analyse the factors impacting mental health crises. Overall results found that the range of the mean from the questionnaire was 4.56 to 4.80, indicating that depression, anxiety, stress, and eating disorders are undoubtedly the influencing factors of mental health crises among foundation-level students. The majority of students scored much higher on the items under the stress factor (4.73) compared to the other three factors, which suggests that most of the students suffered from stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is followed by depression (4.69), anxiety (4.64) and eating disorders (4.63). Thus, universities and lecturers play a crucial role in reducing stress, depression, and anxiety associated with academic commitments.

Published: January 2023

Many language experts and researcher emphasised the crucial awareness and intervention to accentuate listening comprehension. However, listening skill is the least prominent and seldom tackled compared to other language skills. Listening is the key to an effective communication in university and in real life. It is used widely during tertiary education and associated to the overall academic achievement. Listening skill was not developed enough to effectively process the input from various resources across disciplines. Students also often perceive that listening is an innate skill and will be improved naturally. But listening skill can be very complex where students need to direct focus, derive meaning, and differentiate the sound. Therefore, they need to have a clear understanding of the processes involved in listening comprehension. Additionally, they need to integrate strategies that can be used to enhance comprehension. Having self-efficacy beliefs and employing the appropriate listening strategies can improve focus and promote listening comprehension. This study probe on the relationship between listening self-efficacy and metacognitive awareness of listening strategies (MALS). Two instruments were utilised in this study which are English Listening Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (ELSEQ) and Metacognitive Awareness of Listening Strategies Questionnaire (MALQ). Students showed moderate level of listening self-efficacy in this study. Next, students partly agreed with the metacognitive awareness of listening strategies, and problem solving has the highest average score followed by directed attention. Equally important, there was a positive correlation between the learner’s self-efficacy beliefs and the average score of their MALS. This study is hoped to shed the light on listening skill empirically so that students can progress their listening process during their degree study.

Published: January 2023

The Malaysian film industry in the 21st century is overwhelmed with the production of various genres of films with the horror genre was seen dominating other genres in the industry. Amidst concerns by both the public and leaders on the effect on horror movies to the society, audiences seem to continue to enjoy watching horror movies as seen from the movie ticket sales trend in the market. This has raised a question on the factors leading to the enjoyment of watching horror movies and the effect on supernatural belief. The basic model of Suspense Enjoyment Watching Horror Movies developed by Zillmann (1996) and Zillmann and Weaver (1996) was used to identify the relationship between big five personalities and psychology towards supernatural beliefs through the influence of enjoyment. Specifically the study looks into the effect of the psychology factors namely (i) empathy; (ii) negative feelings; and (ii) positive feelings on supernatural belief through the mediating role of enjoyment. In the first phase of the research, data was collected to explore on the preferred horror movie genre among the audience. 36.1% of the respondents were in favor of the psycho thriller genre compared to eight other genres, such as horror, crime thriller, horror, action horror, drama horror, comedy horror and romantic horror. Based on the results in the first phase of data collection, Jwanita (2015) film was chosen to prime stimulus for the research. Interviews with the experts in the film studies were also conducted to support the findings. The next phase involved 317 Muslim adolescent audiences aged 14 to 23 from Kedah, Malaysia who agreed to take part in the research. Structural Equation Modeling, together with SmartPLS 3.0 software were used to analyse 23-research hypotheses developed. The results showed that there is a significant correlation between the three variables in psychology (empathy, positive feelings and negative feelings) with enjoyment. Further findings indicate on the significant mediating effect of enjoyment on the relationships between positive feelings with supernatural beliefs. The importance of enjoyment as a mediating factor is proven from the full mediation result between with supernatural beliefs. The forecasting model through SEM analysis showed a high goodness of fit (GoF) value of 0.832. The findings of the study can be used to extend the Model of Suspense Enjoyment in watching horror movies through scientific evidences and analysis.

Реагентные методы умягчения широко применяются в практике водоподготовки для снижения жесткости и декарбонизации воды. Химия процесса остается неизменной последние 100 лет, но меняются аппаратурное оформление и некоторые нюансы технологии – применение устройств (тонкослойных блоков – ламелей) для стабилизации потоков и улучшения отстаивания шлама, использование флокулянтов и введение центров образования шлама (рециркуляция активного шлама, микропесок) и т. п. Отдельным методом является переход на горизонтальные многокамерные аппараты с механическим перемешиванием. Это позволяет существенно увеличить производительность аппаратов и их эффективность. Рассмотрены современные пути развития таких аппаратов и технологий в Российской Федерации и за рубежом.

Chemical softening methods have been widely used in water treatment to reduce hardness and decarbonize water. The chemistry of the process has remained unchanged for the last 100 years, however, the instrumentation and some nuances of the technology are changing, i. e., the use of devices (lamellar blocks) for stabilizing flow and improving sludge settling, the use of flocculants and introduction of sludge formation centers (recirculation of activated sludge, microsand), etc. A separate method is the adoption of horizontal multi-chamber apparatus with mechanical mixing. This method provides for increasing significantly the capacity and efficiency of the apparatus. Modern ways of development of such apparatus and technologies in the Russian Federation and overseas are considered.

А. Шевелева для стальных труб с отложениями на внутренней поверхности труб. Показано значительное расхождение значений характеристик гидравлического потенциала труб и установлены причины расхождения. Для приведенного примера построены графики, демонстрирующие расхождение значений гидравлического уклона труб при разных скоростных режимах.

In a specific context a comparative analysis of the standardized European design dependence for the hydraulic calculation of metal water pipes with a diameter of 400 mm was carried out with the empirical formula of Professor F. A. Shevelev updated by the authors for steel pipes with deposits on the inner pipe surface. A significant discrepancy between the values of the characteristics of the hydraulic potential of pipes is shown and the reasons for the discrepancy are established. For the given example, graphs have been constructed showing the difference in the values of the hydraulic slope of the pipes at different flow rates.

Published: January 2023

Persistent stapedial artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly, with both clinical and surgical implications. When encountered during middle ear surgery, it represents a challenge to the otologic surgeon, since damage to this artery could lead to massive intraoperative bleeding and poor surgical exposure. Here we report the case of a 3-year-old boy with prelingual and profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who was referred to our Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Department for cochlear implant evaluation. Pre-operative computed tomography (CT) examination of the temporal bone confirmed the diagnosis of PSA. Further evaluation showed no contraindication for surgery and the patient underwent cochlear implantation using the classic transmastoid, facial recess approach. During surgery the vessel was coursing far enough from the round window niche, making it possible to achieve safe and complete electrode insertion into the scala tympani of the cochlear basal turn. This case demonstrates that cochlear implantation is safe and feasible in patients with PSA. Thorough analysis of the preoperative temporal bone CT scan might help with surgical planning by identifying this anomaly prior to surgery.

Published: January 2023

Patients with nonsurgical malignant pheochromocytoma are at risk for major hemodynamic instability during periods of stress, including the perioperative period. Unpredictable changes in catecholamine levels are observed in these patients who are candidates for surgery other than adrenal tumor resection, which may lead to hemodynamic instability. For this reason, adequate preoperative preparation of patients with pheochromocytoma is considered as the mainstay of anesthetic management. This case report describes the perioperative management of a patient with a malignant pheochromocytoma who was to undergo a hemiarthroplasty following a left femoral neck fracture.
