Published: January 2025

Flooding is a frequent natural disaster in Malaysia, significantly impacting communities and infrastructure. This study assesses the effectiveness of evacuation policies in managing operations during flood disasters, focusing on the 2014 Bah Kuning case in Kelantan. A quantitative approach was used, collecting data from 750 respondents comprising members of agencies such as the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), the Fire and Rescue Department, and the Malaysian Armed Forces. A questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale was employed to evaluate perceptions of policy and evacuation operation effectiveness. Findings from the analysis SmartPLS version 4.0 analysis revealed that evacuation policies had a significant influence on the effectiveness of evacuation operations (β = 0.560, p < 0.05). Descriptive analysis using SPSS version 29.0 indicated a high level of respondent satisfaction with evacuation policies, with over 90% rating moderate to high satisfaction (mean = 3.60, standard deviation = 0.647). This study highlights the need for clear policies, community involvement, and inter-agency coordination to enhance disaster response. The government is advised to review current evacuation policies and enhance regular training for officers involved in disaster management.
ASSESSING THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR FLOATING SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAICS IN MALAYSIA: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES IN WATER LAW AND ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
Authors: Abd Rani Muhammad Nazrul
Published: January 2025

This study critically examines the legal framework governing Floating Solar Photovoltaics (FPVs) in Malaysia, identifying key opportunities and challenges within the current water law and environmental regulations. As FPVs emerge as a promising solution to the nation's land scarcity issues and renewable energy goals, their integration into Malaysia's legal and regulatory landscape remains underdeveloped. Through a doctrinal legal analysis, this research assesses existing statutes, including the Federal Constitution, Environmental Quality Act 1974, and state water enactments, alongside renewable energy policies such as the Renewable Energy Act 2011. The study highlights regulatory gaps, particularly the absence of comprehensive guidelines on water usage rights and environmental impact assessments for FPVs. Additionally, it explores the jurisdictional complexities arising from the shared governance of water resources between federal and state authorities. A case study of the Netherlands' regulatory approach to FPVs provides valuable insights for potential reforms in Malaysia. The findings emphasize the need for a coherent and supportive legal framework that addresses water rights, environmental protections, and jurisdictional coordination, fostering sustainable FPV development in Malaysia's renewable energy landscape.

Vasectomy is a permanent contraceptive method for men that has a high level of effectiveness and relatively low health risks compared to other contraceptive methods. Various efforts have been made by the government to increase male participation in vasectomy, however male participation in vasectomy remains low. This indicates that there are obstacles that have not been fully identified and overcome. The independent variables in this study include the level of knowledge about vasectomies, attitudes towards contraception, and social stigma. The dependent variable is vasectomy acceptance which is measured through the desire and decision to have a vasectomy. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to adult men aged 25-50 years and married. Determination of the sample using a simple random sampling technique with sample determination using the MoE formula. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially with the help of the SmartPLS statistical tool. The results of the study showed that knowledge about vasectomies had a positive and significant effect on the acceptance of vasectomy. Attitudes towards contraception have a positive but not significant effect on acceptance of vasectomy. Social stigma has been proven to have a positive and significant effect on acceptance of vasectomy. Simultaneously, knowledge, attitudes and social stigma have a positive and significant effect on acceptance of vasectomy.

Published: January 2025

This paper examines corruption across various contemporary issues, highlighting its role in destabilizing Malaysia as a nation and drawing a comparative analysis with the practice of charity. This analysis seeks to broaden societal perspectives and promote charitable acts, ultimately deterring criminal behavior through a deeper understanding of its religious implications. A qualitative research approach, based on positivist philosophy, is employed to investigate corruption as a cultural phenomenon. This method combines data from various sources to allow for an inductive or qualitative data analysis, with a focus on deriving general meanings. The study relies on qualitative academic journal research, offering descriptive analytical discussions as a primary source, including a range of scholarly journal articles. Additionally, published data and articles from official government and non-government websites provide relevant information on corruption issues. The findings of this study reveal that corruption and charity are ideologically distinct, especially from legal and Islamic perspectives. This discussion explores the extent to which corruption is understood as a criminal offense violating legal norms within Malaysian society.

Authors: Abdul Rani Mohd Haris , Yusof Muhammad Fathi
Published: January 2025

Given the world ever growing populations and endless struggles for energy acquisitions leading to geopolitics activities and wars, the dire need for an alternative renewable energy production is no longer an option but a must. The development of ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) as a form of renewable energy are steadily becoming a reality with many nations gearing for actual commercialisation plants which principally is for financial gain. However, since all the current OTEC projects are at the research and development stage, there is a need to investigate whether the respective nations are ready with the necessary provisions of law, be it by using the available renewable energy law or towards creating a specific law on OTEC itself. This article looks to review at the current progress of research on OTEC development by studying the laws of these countries and determine the legal readiness in implementing OTEC commercial development.
Principal component and cluster analysis in grain appearance, milling and cooking quality traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Published: January 2025

Rice grain quality characteristics such as grain appearance, milling, cooking, and eating parameters are quite complex phenotypic attributes. The rice grain quality is governed principally by the genetic makeup of the rice variety, the biochemical composition of rice grain, and the bio-physical environment where it is produced or grown. In addition to this grain quality is also affected by the moisture conditions of rice gains at the time of processing, the equipment by which rice is processed to a finished product, and to some extent how the product is stored. It is necessary to improve grain quality traits in rice to meet the consumers' demand for premium quality rice, reduce loss at the time of milling, increase production efficiency by increasing total head rice yield, and give more profit to producers and traders of the rice supply chain. This investigation aimed to evaluate the extent of diversity present in the population comprising one hundred-five genotypes for fifteen-grain quality attributes through principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The principal component analysis identified five principal components, (PCs) accounting for 73.10% of the sum total of variations perceived between the rice genotypes of the population. From the biplot analysis of PC1 and PC2, as the two axes of a 2-dimensional coordinate plain, it was found that the grain quality traits, kernel L/B ratio, water uptake, gel consistency, head rice recovery, kernel length after cooking, thousand-grain weight, milling percentage, and kernel length have a greater contribution to the total diversity of the rice population. By using UPGMA cluster analysis, all 105 genotypes of the population were classified into five discrete groups or clusters. The observed inter-cluster distance was largest between the clusters of cluster I and cluster III (149.22), the next largest inter-cluster distance was between cluster II and cluster IV (128.35), and that of cluster III and cluster IV was (109.61) which indicated significant genetic divergence among the genotypes. A larger inter-cluster distance between the clusters suggests the possibility of harnessing heterosis for the quality traits under study as they possess higher mean values for quality attributes with corresponding greater diversity.

This paper describes the effective management of successive early postoperative
complications, using aortic wall autoplasty, VAC-system, with completion of combined
sterno-osteosynthesis in one cardiac surgical patient. The paper presents a clinical
case of management of postoperative complications in a 67-year-old patient after aortic
valve replacement and three-vessel myocardial revascularization by applying a combined and step-by-step approach for each complication: 1. In case of surgical bleeding
- formation of flap plasty of the damaged aortic wall with autopericardium by in situ
fixation method; 2. In case of profuse bleeding - application of VAC-system; 3. In case
of high risk of sternum divergence - its closure by preferential rheosteosynthesis with
tie-fixation devices. The described methods of control, carried an individual approach
and the choice of the optimal method of their application, which requires knowledge
of the entire arsenal of relevant and effective ways of emergency elimination of complications. In our case, unfortunately, against the background of successful one-stage
treatment of all complications, the outcome was unfavorable, due to the exhaustion
of compensatory mechanisms of the body against the background of severe combined
acquired cardiac pathology. Autopericardium plasty by the method of fixation on the
stem created additional protection of the aortic bleeding zone, and further installation
of the VAC-system successfully stopped the uncontrollable non-surgical bleeding that
was festering. Clamp-buckle osteosynthesis, which we applied as a standard in reoperations, contributed to more active intensive care in intensive care with improved repair
of the sternum.

Published: January 2025

Mitral valve prosthesis thrombosis is a rare but life-threatening complication associated with mechanical heart valves. It requires timely diagnosis and prompt intervention to prevent severe morbidity and mortality. We report the case with hemoptysis, severe dyspnea, and fever, two years after mechanical mitral valve replacement with a St.
Jude Medical prosthesis. Despite consistent anticoagulation therapy, recent transition
from warfarin to low-molecular-weight heparin during hospitalization for pneumonia
may have contributed to prosthetic thrombosis. Echocardiography revealed significant
mitral valve dysfunction with a mean pressure gradient of 45 mmHg and evidence of
thrombus formation. Emergency surgery confirmed total prosthetic valve thrombosis
and necessitated thrombectomy and replacement with a new mechanical valve. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with improved hemodynamics and resolution of pulmonary edema. This case highlights the complexities of managing mechanical valve
thrombosis in patients with multiple risk factors, including anticoagulation changes,
atrial fibrillation, and recurrent pulmonary infections. The surgical approach remains
the gold standard for treatment, though emerging evidence supports the potential role
of thrombolysis in select cases. In conclusion, mitral valve prosthesis thrombosis represents a significant challenge requiring multidisciplinary management and strict anticoagulation monitoring, and the importance of developing standardized protocols for
early diagnosis, anticoagulation management, and surgical intervention.

Background. Pulmonary cystic echinococosis, a parasitic disease, is a health care
problem in developing countries. In this study, we evaluated outcomes of patients with
pulmonary hydatid disease who were treated in our department.Study was performed
to compare results of surgical treatment and complications of patients with unilateral
or bilateral thoracic and combined pulmonary cystic echinococosis.
Methods. This cross-sectional analysis of a prospective study was conducted in
the Department of Thoracic and Pediatric Surgery, Scientific Center of Surgery, Almaty,
Kazakhstan among 598 patients with pulmonary cystic echinococosis, who had surgical
treatment with various surgical methods, depending on the prevalence of echinococcosis, as follows: right lung in 357 (59.5%) patients, left lung in 243 (40.5%) patients,
bilateral in 95 (15.8%) patients, and complicated echinococcosis in 317 (52.8%) patients.
Length of stay per hospital stay has been decreased (p 0.0001) by video-thoracoscopicechinococcectomy with the high-energy laser treatment of cyst, than after echinococcectomy by cyst treatment with povidone-iodine. Treatment with formalin presented the
longest hospital stay (p 0.0001).
Results. Comparative analysis of patients with uncomplicated and complicated
pulmonary cystic echinococosis showed a high frequency of postoperative complications associated with complicated echinococcosis (OR = 2.2, p 0.0001).
Conclusion. Despite the success of surgical treatment of pulmonary cystic echinococosis, issues of intraoperative dissemination and safety remain, and treatment success
rates can be improved. These factors require further prospective multicenter studies.

Stereotactic Gamma Knife radiosurgery is becoming the treatment of choice for
patients with Cushing's disease that cannot be cured by surgery. The chances of 5-year
remission are 65-75%, and control of tumor growth reaches more than 90%. However,
the development of hypopituitarism (15% to 36%) is a common side effect, and severe
neurological complications are rare. Relapse of the disease occurs in 16-18% of patients, but the reasons for this are unclear. Stereotactic Gamma Knife radiosurgery is
effective as second line therapy in surgically untreated patients. The purpose of the
study is to evaluate the effectiveness of stereotactic gamma knife radiosurgery as an
adjuvant treatment for Cushing's disease, and also to consider possible complications
and undesirable effects associated with the use of Stereotactic Gamma Knife radiosurgery in the treatment of Cushing’s disease. The authors analyzed the published results
of international, multicenter and retrospective cohort studies on the use of Stereotactic
Gamma Knife radiosurgery in patients with. According to published data, the average time to achieve remission after Stereotactic Gamma Knife radiosurgery in patients
with Cushing’s disease was 16-17 months, while remission was maintained for 10 years
in 60-80% of patients. Tumor growth control was achieved in 95% of cases. Our article suggests that radiosurgery is a safe and well-tolerated procedure and can provide
long-term control of hypercortisolism in the majority of patients with Cushing’s disease.
However, given the likelihood of relapse after initial normalization of cortisol levels and
the manifestation of hypopituitarism, long-term endocrine monitoring after radiosurgery is necessary. Ultimately, radiosurgery may be considered a reasonable primary
treatment option for carefully selected patients who cannot have another treatment.

Desa Blumbang, sebagai desa dengan populasi peternak terbesar kedua di Maduran, menghadapi masalah ketersediaan pakan ternak selama musim kemarau, karena banyak peternak masih bergantung pada rumput segar. Keterbatasan ketersediaan rumput dan larangan pengambilan rumput dari tanggul memperburuk situasi ini. Artikel ini mengkaji pengelolaan fermentasi pakan (silase) sebagai solusi alternatif untuk meningkatkan kualitas pakan ternak. Pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan melalui metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan mengidentifikasi masalah, penyusunan materi dan pelatihan pembuatan silase bagi peternak. Pelatihan ini melibatkan mahasiswa KKN PAR dengan menghadirkan narasumber dari Dinas Peternakan Lamongan yang memberikan panduan tentang pemilihan bahan baku, teknik fermentasi, dan penyimpanan silase. Hasilnya, peternak di Desa Blumbang merespons positif dan memperoleh pengetahuan baru mengenai pembuatan silase sebagai alternatif pakan selama musim kemarau. Kesimpulannya, pelatihan ini berdampak positif karena hingga saat ini metode silase masih jarang diterapkan di Desa Blumbang bahkan di desa tetangga sehingga menjadikan program ini sebuah inovasi baru bagi ternak diwilayah sekitar. Hasil dari program ini menunjukkan bahwa peternak merasa terbantu dengan pengetahuan baru yang didapat, sehingga dapat diterapkan selama musim kemarau untuk mengatasi kekurangan pakan.

As an educational institution where communities live and interact, Pesantren must enhance its independence and management development, food security, and economic initiatives to support the sustainability of its academic processes. This paper outlines the best management practices related to food security and economic development for Pesantren. The methodology employed is a case study of Pesantren Assa'adah in Cikeusal Serang, utilizing a literature review to provide a foundational basis for the analysis. The findings indicate that waste management concepts have been effectively carried out by processing both organic and inorganic waste. Additionally, automatic watering systems with soil moisture sensors have been deployed near fish ponds, ensuring plants receive the essential water elements efficiently. This system is powered by solar energy, making it an environmentally friendly option. Furthermore, the student (santri) consume livestock and agricultural products, demonstrating that the pesantren has a sustainable resource source, reducing daily accommodation expenses. Smart farming can also serve as a basis for educational tourism. From an economic standpoint, these practices are being developed, and further research is anticipated to enhance Pesantren's financial prospects.

Fiqh Sosial Perspective on Prenuptial Agreements: Harmonizing the Tradition and Modernity in Muslim Communities
Authors: Hakim Muh. Luthfi
Published: January 2025

The acceptance of prenuptial agreements presents contradictory issues among traditional Muslim communities that adhere to conventional Islamic values and modern Muslim communities that seek more comprehensive legal protection. This study aims to analyze these contradictions through the lens of fiqh sosial perspective, relating it to the applicable legal context to provide a thorough understanding of the relevance of these viewpoints in contemporary social and legal practices. Unlike previous research, this study highlights the fiqh sosial approach, positing that this perspective is pertinent in addressing the diverse community attitudes towards prenuptial agreements. The findings indicate that the fiqh sosial approach transcends texts of fiqh by emphasizing contextualization to meet the demands of modern times. In this context, prenuptial agreements can be seen as a way to reinterpret fiqh texts through a formal agreement, specifically through a written prenuptial agreement. Furthermore, prenuptial agreements can serve the public good in marriage practices in Indonesia by developing the kaidah fiqhiyyah “ad-daf'u aqwa min ar-raf'i” through asset protection and preventive measures against potential negative occurrences during the marriage.
