Multiple Intelligence dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab Bagi Pembelajar Non-Arab
Authors: Alhaq Faiz
Published: February 2024

The basic concept of multiple intelligence theory states that every language learner can learn through different intelligences because basically humans have many intelligences. At least there are several types of intelligence that are relatively independent of each other and can be formed and combined in a variety of ways. The purpose of this study was to determine the multiple intelligences in learning Arabic for non-Arabic learners, in terms of various aspects, and the influence of existing input on the evaluation. This library research uses the documentation method. The data analysis technique used in this library research is inductive analysis (al-tahlil al-istiqra'i). The results found that each language learner can learn through his different intelligence, and relates to the learning methods of each learner. The conclusion is that the implementation of learning based on multiple intelligences, which includes linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, kinesthetic-physical, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist intelligence, can take the form of active learning by providing more opportunities for students to try and experience themselves as direct experience. (learning to do) so that they don't just passively listen and receive information from the teacher.

Authors: Alexandra Salame Ortiz Mónica , Carlos Jiménez Martínez Roberto , Fernando Piñas Piñas Luis
Published: February 2024

This scientific paper analyzes the legitimacy of military interventions within the framework of international law and their potential consequences. It highlights the need to support these interventions with robust legal and moral reasoning due to their complexity and controversy in the international community. The interpretation of legal and ethical principles can be subjective and lead to disagreements among states and international actors. The consequences of military interventions are explored, ranging from loss of life and infrastructure destruction to population displacement, political instability, and humanitarian crises. Legality and proportionality in interventions are essential to ensuring their legitimacy, and the potential consequences must be carefully assessed before undertaking an intervention. Adherence to the international legal framework is crucial to prevent military interventions from being deemed violations of international law. The neutrosophic DEMATEL methodology used in the study identifies cause-and-effect relationships among key criteria related to military actions in the realm of international law. The article highlights the importance of carefully considering the legitimacy and potential consequences of military interventions within the context of international law.

Labor and workers' wages are one of the central issues in today's industrial economy, where the majority of the population depends on the wages they earn, starting from low wage levels to the work contract system. All of this has become an issue that has sparked demonstrations among workers. Labor is not a simple resource to organize. Many factors influence these resources, such as the environment, local traditions, experience, age, leadership, wages, and so on. All these factors together form the complexity of managing a workforce. The aim of this research is to determine the wage practices of porters at the Beureunuen market and to analyze the pay system for porters at the Beureunuen market. The research method used is qualitative, by conducting field research using interviews, documentation and observation. The research results show that the practice of paying porters at Beureunuen Market is implemented using a daily wage payment system, taking into account the amount of repas. Wages are paid daily at a percentage of 15% of the repas, and the overall wages are divided equally among all the porters involved.

Published: February 2024

As leveduras influenciam o aroma, sabor, cor, turbidez, formação de espuma, e portanto à qualidade final da cerveja, e sua escolha depende do tipo de cerveja que será produzida. As leveduras mais usadas no processo de produção de cerveja são as do gênero Saccharomyces, sendo classificadas em alta fermentação (Ale), atuando próximo da superfície do mosto, e fermentação baixa (Lager) atuando no fundo do reator. Mas é isso mesmo que acontece com uma levedura de fermentação alta, como por exemplo a Saccharomyces cerevisiae? O objetvo deste estudo foi avaliar o comportamento e a viabilidade celular da levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S-04) durante a fermentação em duas diferentes temperaturas: 12oC e 18oC, em diferentes alturas no reator, sendo no topo do reator, no meio do reator e próximo ao fundo. Os resultados mostraram que sendo uma levedura de fermentação alta, atuou em todo o reator, nas duas temperaturas, e nas três alturas analisadas, e a fermentação da cerveja ocorreu em todo o reator, e não somente no topo, a viabilidade celular ficou semelhante nas duas temperaturas, assim como também as analises físico-químicas de oBrix, pH, e teor alcoólico. Com isso chega-se a conclusão que a levedura atuou por todo o reator, a fermentação ocorreu nas três alturas analisadas, sendo assim conclui-se que que não é correto afirmar que uma levedura de fermentação alta atue somente no topo ou na superfície do mosto.

Microgrid systems are part of the most reliable energy supply technologies for rural communities that do not have access to electricity but the system is generally dominated by diesel generators (DG). The implementation of de-dieselization programs to ensure efficient diesel operations requires addressing several scenarios such as the replacement of diesel completely with 100% renewable energy sources at a significant cost. The design and selection of appropriate configuration, as well as operating patterns, need to be considered in adopting economical and reliable microgrid systems. Therefore, this study aimed to design an optimal configuration and operational pattern for microgrid systems for the frontier, outermost, and least developed (3T) regions using Baron Techno Park (BTP) in Indonesia as a case study. The optimization was conducted through HOMER software combined with benefit-cost analysis and the focus was on daily load variations, selection of control algorithms, reconfiguration of the power supply system, and setting of the diesel generator operating hours. The results showed that the optimum configuration was achieved using loads of resort, 24 kWp of PV, 288 kWh of BESS, load-following (LF) as dispatch controller, and 25 kVa of DG. Moreover, the proposed microgrid system produced 12% excess energy, 36% renewable fraction (RF), 13.25 tons reduction in CO2 emissions per year, $0.28 LCOE per kWh, $250,478 NPC, and a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 0.89. It also had a potential energy efficiency savings of 55.56% and a cost efficiency of 20.95% compared to existing system configurations. In conclusion, the study showed that the addition of DG to microgrid systems in 3T areas was more optimal than using only PV and batteries. An effective operating schedule for the DG was also necessary to improve RF and reduce expenses. Furthermore, other energy storage devices considered less expensive than batteries could be introduced to improve the economics of microgrid systems in the 3T region.

The Impact of Urban Zoning Regulations on Mitigating Urban Sprawl in the Saudi System
Authors: Hakami Mohammed Hadi H
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the concept and boundaries of the urban boundary (scope) within the Saudi legal system, illuminating its definition as a policy for directing and controlling urban development. The urban scope is determined by outlining the appropriate boundaries for urban activities and accommodating urban growth within a specified timeframe. This approach aims to achieve the highest economic efficiency for available resources and realize the optimal size for cities and villages according to urban strategic directions. Furthermore, the study delves into the legal framework defining the urban boundary's limits, described as lines delineated on maps that illustrate the various stages of urban development and development protection limits. These boundaries are essential for locating urban activities and absorbing the growth of cities and villages over a specific period. The research highlights that the urban scope serves three primary purposes: directing and controlling urban development, providing public services and facilities efficiently, and achieving the optimal size for urban areas. The establishment of urban boundaries is depicted as a crucial step in preventing urban sprawl and ensuring orderly development. The study also addresses the impact of the urban boundary on preventing urban dispersion, noting that it contributes to reducing the financial costs associated with infrastructure development in low-density areas and addressing visual urban disfigurement. The urban scope's rules, issued by the Saudi government, play a significant role in limiting urban activities outside designated areas, thereby controlling urban sprawl and the spread of informal settlements. Overall, the research underscores the importance of the urban boundary in shaping the urban landscape of Saudi cities, highlighting its role in fostering sustainable urban development and preventing the adverse effects of unplanned urban expansion.

Published: February 2024

This study addressed the regulations of nuclear damage insurance, by elucidating the concept of nuclear damage insurance, its characteristics, and its effects. Furthermore, the study delineated the insurer's obligation to provide financial guarantees for compensation for nuclear damages, through an exposition of the scope of nuclear damage insurance and its problems and addressing the conglomerations of nuclear operators. It was recommended that contemporary insurance companies and systems should abandon traditional methods in the field of nuclear damage insurance. This entails devising insurance approaches and treatments that align with the magnitude and nature of nuclear damage. Additionally, it is imperative for states to support and protect the insurance sectors from the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy, which leads to shirking their responsibilities and obligations towards nuclear operators or the afflicted parties.

Published: February 2024

The context in which consumers acquires a product related information has undergone dramatic transformation in recent years. There have been arguments that the product type, characteristics of the consumers, as well as the context, have an influence on search information and media channel preference. This argument has not been extended to a lead-based household paints which is a global public health concern. This study is intended to address this void by investigating a national representative estimation for information source and media channel preferences of consumers in Malaysia regarding lead-based household paint hazards. The awareness profile of the general public on the health and environmental hazards are due to the exposure of toxic to lead-based household paints was studied. The study was carried out on a conveniently recruited population of Malaysians residing in West Malaysia. A total of 657 valid responses were subjected to statistical analysis. The study highlights that the respondents were most likely to use the internet as a channel for gathering information about lead-based household paints. They were also likely to trust information from the environmental protection organizations about lead-based household paints hazards and issues, and are least likely to trust information from political parties about the subject matter.

Authors: Markundu Kannigaa , Nian Ong Shyi
Published: February 2024

Collocations are important in language learning. This article aims to investigate the types of lexical collocations (both non-deviant and deviant forms) produced by Form Three Myanmar Burmese refugee learners in their picturebased written task and describe the possible sources for the production of deviant lexical collocations. The analysis revealed that Myanmar Burmese participants recorded a total of 93 lexical collocations and 19 (20.4%) deviant lexical collocations were identified. The most frequent lexical collocation used in the written task is Lexical Collocation Type 2 (L2) (Adjective + Noun) type. Use of synonyms was identified as the primary source of lexical collocational errors in the participants’ written task. The findings of the research indicate participants’ lack of collocational knowledge as they overused L2 type collocations, a common type. Most of the deviant collocations were related to the use of synonyms. It hints that participants are more accustomed to single word learning, thus indicating the absence of collocational teaching. The current study calls for research on collocation productions of learners to better understand their collocational knowledge, thus paving the path to incorporate it in vocabulary teaching.

Keywords – lexical collocations, Myanmar refugee learners, vocabulary learning

Recognising Islam as the religion of the Malays with adab, akhlaq, Budi and Budi-Islam as components of the Malay ethical system, Animism, Hinduism, Buddhism and British colonialism have significantly influenced Malay culture, values and systems.Keywords: Malays, Malaysia, origin, culture, institutions, values
QUANTIFYING MANGLISH CREOLE CONTINUUM AND ITS CORRELATION WITH FORMALITY FACTOR
Authors: Siew May Cheng , Chian Shiun Kuek
Published: February 2024

Under the backdrop of multi-cultural, multi-ethnicity and multi-lingual Malaysia, the Malaysian English or morecommonly known as Manglish has bloomed into a broad creole spectrum. Bearing the features of distorted language and creative communication at the same time, the Manglish creole continuum can be categorised into acrolect, mesolect and basilect Manglish. To map this continuum, a sampling study was taken on Malaysians of various age, ethnicity and educational background. An assessment model based on mathematical and computing theory was then developed to quantify the level of mixture with local languages and culture. A number of formulation models were also proposed to translate corresponding environment affecting Manglish creole into numeric scales. Pearson Correlation Coefficient between various scales were computed and compared with the proposed models. Finally, hypotheses were derived on the existence of Malaysian creole continuum and predictions made of its future development.Keywords: acrolect, mesolect, basilect, Manglish, creole continuum, communication

Published: February 2024

This article aims to explore the impact of development discourse on the production of social science knowledge in Malaysia since the adoption of the New Economic Policy (NEP) in 1971. It analyses the nexus between development discourse and the growth of social science themes in Malaysia. This nexus was methodologically tracked using a thematic content study. The paper surveys the articles published by the Akadamika Journal of social science and humanities from 1972-2010 with a special focus on the themes of development discourse in Malaysia. The paper interrogates how the development discourse in Malaysia influences the thematic debates in social science? The findings of the paper revealed four major themes that underpinned the production of social science knowledge in Malaysia. The themes include; (a) Gender and economic development, (b) Climate change and development, (c) State, capital and labour (d) Peasant transformation. The implication of the findings suggests that the Malaysian state’s industrial development significantly influences the formation of debates or construction of social science knowledge by Malaysian scholars. The paper’s findings further showed the potential of social science knowledge in contributing to the development aspirations of the state through a policy coherence between development and values system of the society. The findings also revealed the relevance of social science knowledge in achieving the sustainable development goals on gender equality, economic growth and promotion of sustainable communities in Malaysia.

HUMAN AND GHOST ATTACHMENT IN HANNA ALKAF’S THE GIRL AND THE GHOST
Authors: Abd Rahman Ain Nur Iman , Zainal Zainor Izat
Published: February 2024

For centuries, authors of literary works have sought to bewitch and enchant readers with accounts of supernatural elements such as monsters, spirits and ghosts. Ghosts especially are often depicted as representations of evil and the polar opposite of mankind. In Hanna Alkaf’s The Girl and The Ghost (2020) the adolescent protagonist, Suraya, develops an unusual bond with a ghost, Pink. This is indeed refreshing, considering the human-ghost relationship in the local literary scene is often represented as antagonistic, opposing forces, resulting in ghosts being portrayed as evil, vengeful creatures set to taunt, haunt and wreck humans’ lives. Critical examination of the human-ghost bond in the local literary-critical practice is lacking. This research aims to fill this gap by examining the human-ghost bond in The Girl and The Ghost and how this bond contributes to the (human) protagonist’s personal development. In this paper, The Girl and The Ghost is read using John Bowlby’s theory of attachment due to its robust approach to understanding human beings' emotional bond, or attachment, with their attachment figures. We argue the human-ghost bond in The Girl and The Ghost sets the novel apart from other local ghost stories filled with wicked, destructive ghosts. The findings suggest other possibilities of attachment figures when the relationship between a mother and child grows apart. The unusual but enduring relationship between Suraya and Pink demonstrates that a child’s secure attachment need not be limited to motherly figures.

Published: February 2024

This study examines the content and construct validity of the Malay-translated version of the CFCs 14 adopted by Joireman et al. (2012). This study was conducted among public service leaders at three ministries in Malaysia. The Malay-translated version of CFCs-14 was analysed to establish the content and construct validity of the items in measuring CFCs in the Malaysian context. The content validity analysis results reported that the scale level index (S-CVI/UA) for the CFCs scale was 0.120. Further, the item level index (I-CVI/Ave) value for all items on the scale was 0.93. Using SPSS version 22 and SMARTPLS version 3.2, the construct validity analysis revealed two-factor of CFCs. This suggests the usability of CFCs-14 in gauging CFCs construction. The results provide empirical evidence regarding the validity of the CFCs items, indicating that the Malay-translated version of CFCs-14 is suitable for Malaysian studies. Implications of the findings were also discussed.

Published: February 2024

The article argues the relevance of the self-esteem problem in adolescence, which is extremely important during their period of maturation, self-definition, evaluation of their abilities, basic values, and the search for ways to fulfill their dreams and satisfy needs. In scientific literature, there is no unequivocal interpretation of the essence of this phenomenon, as some researchers emphasize the need to create conditions for the development of necessary practical experience in positive self-assessment. Others focus on enhancing self-expression and self-disclosure, while others emphasize raising demands on adolescents to develop the ability to overcome difficulties in achieving success. The article emphasizes the necessity of considering the peculiarities of adolescence, the processes of self-identification, evaluation of one's actions, and the construction of perspectives, which are particularly challenging at this age. Unresolved aspects of the identified problem are highlighted, including the study of the level of formation of key competencies crucial for the formation of a positive attitude towards deep self-discovery, serving as a stimulus for self-development and self-improvement. Experimental findings establish that the individual's attitude towards oneself and the development of self-esteem are influenced by the attitudes of those around them. The research identified a range of problems in adolescents that require targeted systematic work, such as the inability to conduct a deep analysis of their achievements and failures, the inability to determine ways and options to overcome purely educational or life difficulties, the inability to appreciate the advice and remarks of more experienced individuals, insufficiently formed orientation towards the future, inadequate evaluation of others' attitudes towards oneself, and the inability to maintain the desired social status, as well as the inability to terminate unwanted relationships. The most essential competencies are highlighted, and the conclusion is drawn that they should be systematically developed, considering three basic factors: the experience of success and failure, the experience of others, and deep internal motivation. Keywords: self-esteem, adolescence, adolescent as an individual, attitude towards oneself, personality as the subject of own life, self-image, inner position.

The article assesses the development of retail e-commerce under the influence of global digitalization processes. The authors prove that current trends in the global economy reflect key aspects of the development of the digital economy and, accordingly, retail e-commerce. Under their influence, significant changes are taking place in the living conditions of society, market conditions and in the scientific sphere, and there is an increasing demand for highly qualified workers. The paper emphasizes that under the influence of profound and extensive changes brought about by digital technologies, conceptual models of business development and social communication are transforming, and the role of the state in the new digitalized environment is being reconsidered. These transformations require participants to be highly adaptable, develop new skills and competencies, and be ready to take advantage of digital transformation. The paper emphasizes that there are potential risks of negative impact of digital transformation, which are manifested primarily in the need to adapt to new conditions, such as the inevitability of displacement of outdated professions by new technologies or artificial intelligence systems, the disappearance of traditional markets, as well as the threats of personal data leakage and the need to protect copyrights and other aspects. The authors prove that e-commerce encompasses more than just online advertising or launching a virtual retail store. Successful enterprises in this area are based on reliable technologies of interaction with consumers, which arise from the experience gained in the early stages, sound business schemes and a carefully developed infrastructure for servicing business processes. The main advantage of using digital technologies in the field of online retail is the ability to predict demand and thoroughly study consumer needs.

Published: February 2024

The article offers a conceptual vision of the development of the energy market based on the principles of sustainability, which should be characterized by safety, environmental friendliness, adaptability and stability, efficiency (including economic) and accessibility (including social), transparency. The importance of ensuring the adaptability of the development of the energy system due to uneven energy consumption throughout the day and throughout the year, stability, safety of energy generation, and transparency is substantiated, which will be facilitated, among other things, by the synchronization of the energy system of Ukraine with the energy system of continental Europe. The expediency of increasing the use of ecologically neutral sources of electricity, which is important for ensuring sustainable development, is substantiated . The possibilities and features of the development of energy generation from renewable sources are characterized, which include: solar, wind, hydrogen generation , the use of biogas, obtaining energy from household waste, as well as hydrogen and nuclear generation. Despite the ecological neutrality of solar and wind power plants, the need for disposal and processing of individual components at the end of their service life is described, the need to work out such issues in advance, which corresponds to the principles of sustainability. The adaptability of the operation of hydropower plants and their different productivity depending on the methods of using water energy are noted. The types of hydrogen production and the features of hydrogen generation are described, as well as the feasibility of developing biogas energy generation, which will contribute to the "smart" disposal of waste and the rational use of such resources. The dangers associated with nuclear power plants are summarized, the leveling of which will contribute to the safety and stability of their operation. Attention is also paid to types of energy generation that are not environmentally friendly (thermal power plants), which generate electricity by burning fuel (coal, gas). Their share in the energy-generating balance is decreasing, but today they still provide the necessary adaptability in the energy market.

The article assesses the management of investment attractiveness of agro-industrial entities and approaches to the study and analysis of its structural elements. The authors have made a theoretical generalization and proposed ways to solve the problem of modeling investment decisions in the current economic and political environment. The authors emphasize that a deeper approach will reveal not only the effectiveness of investment strategies, but also the internal mechanisms that facilitate or limit the implementation of these strategies. By combining aspects of decision-making methodology with the analysis of intra-organizational interactions, it is possible to obtain a more complete understanding of the investment process in the context of a particular organization. The paper emphasizes that in the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine, under the influence of the desire for integration, significant changes are taking place, which are expressed in an increase in the scale of production, an increase in the diversity of production areas, the expansion of inter-sectoral relations, accelerated use of scientific achievements, qualitative shifts in technological processes, and increased competition - significantly increasing the requirements for the quality of investment decisions and their relevance. The authors prove that the core of integration of mechanisms and instruments in the investment market is information and organizational technologies, which form the basis of the pyramid of management decisions. The organizational infrastructure of investments is becoming increasingly international and integrated. The more diverse the composition of such an infrastructure, the more fully the investment opportunities of enterprises are realized, the wider the range of investment technologies, and the greater the amount of resources involved. The model for assessing the efficiency of an investment project based on the theory of fuzzy sets developed by the authors is a way to assess the efficiency of investment projects, which is a complement to traditional methods of analysis, but lacks some of the disadvantages inherent in the latter. Keywords: investment decision, agency conflicts, corporate governance mechanisms, agro-industrial formations, model for assessing the efficiency of an investment project.

The article is devoted to the study of scientific knowledge on the general organizational conditions for corporate governance in an agrarian integrated enterprise. Based on the analysis of scientific knowledge on the conditions and features of corporate governance in integrated agricultural structures, the authors have found that relations arise not between the owners of a corporation, but between the corporation and the owners, and thus relations in the group of owners are absent or minimized. In practice, the key element of contracting is not an attempt to determine the behavior of the CEO in all possible situations, but to develop a structured system of remuneration for managers. The main goal of this operation is to find the optimal combination of different types of remuneration for top managers, which will ensure mutually beneficial interests of both shareholders and managers of the corporation. The author proves that the most effective mechanism of internal control over the activities of a corporation's management personnel is to involve shareholders in protecting their interests through agents (outsiders) who are not employees of the corporation but are vested with certain controlling powers. It is assumed that these agents will not be directly related to the operational management of the corporation, and thus they become the defenders of the interests of the owners. It is found that there is a direct relationship between agency conflicts and corporate governance mechanisms. The result of the study is the identification of positive and negative aspects of capital concentration in a corporation. This leads to the conclusion that with an increase in the manager's shareholding, the level of agency conflicts decreases. The authors propose a detailed model of corporate governance that takes into account the interests of all participants. The conflict of interests between owners and managers of a corporate structure is investigated. The peculiarities of functioning of the external mechanism of control by the financial market in the corporate governance system and their shortcomings are highlighted. The institutional factors influencing the corporate governance system of an integrated agricultural enterprise are demonstrated. Keywords: corporate governance, agricultural enterprise, integrated structure, financial market, control mechanism.
