STATES OF MALAY POWERLESSNESS IN THE WORKS OF CHE HUSNA AZHARI
Authors: Binti Ismail Hanita Hanim , Al-Subaihi Mohammad Nusr 
Published: February 2020

Background and Purpose: The development of scholarship on Malaysian Literature in English (MLiE) continuously receives attention, especially on one particular direction, which is the studies of the Malays. Inspired by the Malay proverb “Diluah mati mak, ditelan mati bapa” (Malay for ‘between the devil and the deep sea), this study looked into local literature in relation to powerlessness and its social complexity where we argue that the Malays are often caught in-between entanglements that prohibit individualism, as due to societal prejudice.

Methodology: This study employed thematic analysis where upon familiarizing with Azhari’s short stories, namely Mariah and of Bunga Telur and Bally shoes, the researchers identified themes that help understand the types and causes of powerlessness as illustrated in the short stories before associating the Malays’ state of powerlessness and their emotional suppression.

Findings: Findings revealed that both genders suffer from the Malay prejudice and their own lack of emotional strength, causing both to be powerless captives in different contexts, unlike the Western societies where similar situations might lead to alienation.

Contributions: The study contributed towards the understanding of social phenomenon, namely issues regarding powerlessness among the Malays. Such contribution is significant at developing potentials within building national talent, especially those regarding family and spiritual values.

Keywords: Che Husna Azhari, emotional suppression, Malays, Malaysian literature in English, powerlessness.

DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMME: TEACHERS’ BELIEFS AND PRACTICES IN TEACHING SCIENCE THROUGH ENGLISH
Authors: Othman Juliana , Mohd Saat Rohaida , Hasan Adli Durriyyah Sharifah , Senom Fatiha 
Published: February 2020

Background and Purpose: The recently implemented Dual Language Program (DLP) policy in Malaysian schools may require teachers involved in the initiative to make necessary changes in their teaching practices in appropriate directions. It may also challenge the beliefs that these teachers hold with regard to teaching subject matter in English as a medium of instruction. Thus, this study seeks to investigate the beliefs of primary Science teachers with regards to the teaching of Science through the English medium, and the extent to which the beliefs of teachers are consistent with their classroom practices.

Methodology: The study employed a quantitative data collection and analysis approach. Science teachers’ beliefs and stated practices were obtained via a questionnaire using the Likert-scale. The respondents of the study include 44 primary Science teachers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Malaysia. A Pearson correlation analysis was computed to examine the association between teachers’ beliefs scale and the ratings of classroom practices.

Findings: The results from the statistical analysis suggest that in teaching Science using the English language, the beliefs of the primary school teachers were not always aligned with their stated practices with regard to DLP. This discrepancy between the beliefs of science teachers and their stated instructional practices could be due to the lack of professional development sessions and contextual constraints.

Contributions: This study extends work on content-based classrooms in the Malaysian context. Its findings contribute to the ongoing work on improving instructional practices in the DLP classrooms.

Keywords: Classroom practices, dual language program, teachers’ beliefs.

THE INTER-RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMMODITY ENERGY PRICES AND STOCK MARKET VOLATILITY IN SAUDI-ARABIA
Authors: Alsufyani Manal , Sarmidi Tamat 
Published: February 2020

Background and Purpose: The present study examines the inter-relationship that exists between commodity energy price as well as stock market volatility in Saudi-Arabia. The focus of the study is to test if changes in commodities energy prices (oil related) cause significant changes in the stock market volatility of Saudi Arabia.

Methodology: This study made use of a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model which has exogenous variables (GARCH-X), thus able to employ the commodity energy price inform of an exogenous so as to test the conditional variance of the Saudi-Arabia stock market return.

Findings: The findings from the estimated model provide evidence that only the ARCH and GARCH parameters are significant while the exogenous variables are insignificant. It is concluded that other factors affect the volatility of the Saudi-Arabia stock market, but not the commodity energy price.

Contributions: This study recommends that, policy makers, investors, and regulators should give emphasis on macro-economic variables and volatility interdependence with other correlated markets, especially during energy price shock that affected the volatility of Saudi-Arabia stock market.

Keywords: Energy price, GARCH-X, Saudi Arabia, stock market, volatility.

Authors: Hutagalung Fonny , Lai Liyan , Adams Donnie 
Published: February 2020

Background and Purpose: Studies have documented the value of dramatic play in enhancing vocabulary development. However, very few studies in Malaysia have examined the effects of dramatic play on vocabulary development among preschoolers. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dramatic play on the enhancement of vocabulary learning among preschoolers in Malaysia.

Methodology: The research was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest and post-test design. Preschoolers from two government preschools participating in a vocabulary instruction with dramatic play for eight weeks were compared with preschoolers who did not participate in vocabulary instruction with dramatic play. Comparison of vocabulary scores between the experimental and control groups was gathered using the Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) instrument. Data were analysed using SPSS version 23. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics using t test were utilised to analyse the target vocabulary pre-test and post-test scores between the control and experimental groups.

Findings: The study showed there were significant differences in the vocabulary scores after the use of vocabulary instruction with dramatic play in the experimental group compared to the control group. In addition, there were significant differences in the vocabulary scores for female preschoolers in the experimental group compared to the control group.

Contributions: This study is hoped to be useful for early childhood educators in the employment of effective vocabulary instruction to suit preschoolers’ learning preferences in order to develop their vocabulary learning.

Keywords: Curriculum-based measurement, dramatic play, language development, pre-schoolers, vocabulary.

IS WHATSAPP THE FUTURE OF WORKPLACE COMMUNICATION?: INVESTIGATING THE USE OF WHATSAPP IN DECISION- MAKING EPISODES
Authors: Mohd Omar Nor Azikin , Azmi Nur Jijidiana , Ahamad Sani Nurshafawati 
Published: February 2020

Background and Purpose: Meetings, emails, phone calls and mobile telephone texts are often quoted as the primary methods of communication in the workplace settings. However, the rise of mobile messaging service has been superseding the use of these modes of communication. Hence, it is not surprising that messaging applications like Whatsapp has slowly replaced the transmission of messages in most workplace interaction. WA, the prominent global mobile messenger application (statistica.com) does not only allow users to send personal messages to others rapidly but also makes it possible for them to communicate in groups where the users can communicate interactively and achieve tasks swiftly.

Methodology: Drawing on WA group messages and audio recordings of meetings of team meetings, this work analyses the impact of WA on internal team communication by focusing on the processes of decision-making displayed by the members of a group of academics at an institution of higher education in Malaysia.

Findings: The analysis shows that the application functions as a useful platform for the team to negotiate solutions, make and revisit decisions that were previously decided in another interactional context.

Contributions: This paper concludes that the use of WA constitutes a daily reality in the investigated workplace, illuminate the intertextuality of DM processes across these contexts, and that it is reflective of its main purposes: to make quick decisions, give confirmation or approval, and provide information regarding the issues raised. The study also addresses the crucial question: is WA the future of workplace communication and will it become the preferred medium for decision- making?

Keywords: Decision-making, higher education, Malaysia, WhatsApp, workplace discourse.

ENHANCED LEARNING: THE HIDDEN ART OF REFLECTIVE JOURNAL WRITING AMONG MALAYSIAN PRE-REGISTERED STUDENT NURSES
Authors: Haji Seyed Abolghasem Fatemeh , Othman Juliana , Ahmad Shah Shanina Sharatol 
Published: February 2020

Background and Purpose: Although the impact of reflective journal writing (RJW) on enhanced learning has a long history, studies on this pedagogical tool for enhanced learning are never exhausted. This study attempts to highlight enhanced self-directed learning through the use of reflective journal (RJ) among Malaysian diploma nursing students.

Methodology: For this study, eight purposefully selected pre-registered student nurses (PRSN) from a public college contributed over 54 reflective journal entries over two months. Through a qualitative content analysis, the journals were analyzed using a model devised by Mezirow (1990) that was previously used by Kember (1999), Chirema (2007), and Kear (2013) to identify the students’ levels of reflection of content/descriptive, process/practical, and premise/critical reflection resembling Transformative Learning Theory (TLT).

Findings: The findings suggested that RJ helps learners become in control of themselves from the early stage of a clinical environment. They expressed their appreciation towards collaborations and are grateful to be able to express their feelings and emotions of “fears” and “trust”. Further, they indicated their mindfulness to appreciate their levels of knowledge and skills through reflection upon the nursing tasks as they make themselves ready to be a future nurse. Furthermore, it was highlighted that feeling competent and being able to work independently and to make sound decisions would not be realized if they could not think critically from the initial stage of clinical environment.

Contributions: This research confirms that PRSN become more self-directed and highly motivated to develop critical thinking to dispose for their better lifelong learning through the use of reflective journals.

Keywords: Content reflection, levels of reflection, premise reflection, process reflection, reflective journal writing.

Comparative empirical analysis of financial intermediation systems in Central and Eastern Europe1
Authors: Horbaczewska Bożena 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the level of similarity between financial systems in selected Central and Eastern European countries (CEE11) and four models of capitalism in Western Europe identified by B. Amable [The diversity of modern capitalism, 2003]. A comparative analysis in this institutional area was done on the basis of six variables. Three of them represent inputs, that is, institutional determinants, and other three variables describe outputs of institutional regulations. For each of them coefficients of similarity between a CEE11 country and a selected Western European country were calculated, and based on it the similarity hexagons were created. In this paper, two pictures of the institutional arrangements were taken: for 2005 and for 2014. Additionally, an analysis of changes that took place in institutional solutions in the CEE11 countries, based on the variables and the coefficients of similarity, was carried out.
The analyses showed that in the area of financial intermediation, the group of CEE11 countries in 2005 was characterized by the greatest similarity to the Continental model of capitalism. The same investigations carried out for 2014 indicate a significant shift in the analyzed area toward solutions typical of the Mediterranean model.
Cultural Rights as Human Rights and the Impact on the Expression of Arts Practices
Authors: Caust Josephine 
Published: February 2020

AbstractCultural rights are becoming an increasingly important area of human rights discussion given the association between culture, identity and social equity. The subject is considered here in the context of how the absence of cultural rights influences both the recognition of the diversity of cultures and the capacity of some to access and practice art. Culture and arts practices are intertwined but certain arts practices are prioritised over others by funding bodies, governments and institutions. Recent examples from Australia are highlighted, in which changes to the cultural makeup of the country are occurring at a rapid rate without adequate responses from governments to address funding inequities. It is argued here that unless cultural rights are seen as a basic human right and embedded in the legal national framework, then sectors of the broader community are disenfranchised.

Objective To investigate the association between sustaining a second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and (1) time to return to sport, (2) symmetrical muscle function, and (3) symmetrical quadriceps strength at the time of return to sport in young athletes after primary ACL reconstruction. Design Prospective cohort study. Methods Patient demographics and results from 5 tests of muscle function (2 strength tests and 3 hop tests) were extracted from a rehabilitation registry. A questionnaire was sent to athletes (15–30 years old) who were involved in knee-strenuous sport before the injury and had undergone primary ACL reconstruction to determine time of return to knee-strenuous sport (preinjury Tegner Activity Scale score of 6 or greater). We used the Cox proportional hazard regression model to analyze time to event. Results One hundred fifty-nine (32% of the initial sample) athletes (mean ± SD age, 21.5 ± 4.4 years; 50% female) were included. Athletes with a higher preinjury Tegner Activity Scale score had a higher rate of second ACL injury (hazard ratio = 2.1; 95% confidence interval: 1.2, 3.6; P<.01). Athletes who returned to knee-strenuous sport before 9 months after reconstruction had a higher rate of second ACL injury (hazard ratio = 6.7; 95% confidence interval: 2.6, 16.7; P<.001). There was no association between symmetrical muscle function or quadriceps strength and second ACL injury. Conclusion Returning to knee-strenuous sport before 9 months after ACL reconstruction was associated with an approximately 7-fold increased rate of sustaining a second ACL injury. Achieving symmetrical muscle function or quadriceps strength was not associated with new ACL injury in young athletes. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(2):83–90. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9071
Many High-Quality Randomized Controlled Trials in Sports Physical Therapy Are Making False-Positive Claims of Treatment Effect: A Systematic Survey
Authors: Bleakley Chris , Reijgers Jonathan , Smoliga James M. 
Published: February 2020

Objective To examine the risk of false-positive reporting within high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the sports physical therapy field. Design Cross-sectional. Methods We searched the Physiotherapy Evidence Database for parallel-design, 2-arm RCTs reporting positive treatment effects, based on null-hypothesis significance testing, and scoring greater than 6/10 on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. No restrictions were made on pathology, intervention, or outcome variables. Sixty-two of 212 RCTs reported positive effects in at least 1 outcome variable. We estimated false-positive risk (FPR) with an online calculator, based on number of participants, P value, and effect size. For each study, FPR was estimated using a range of prior probability assumptions: 0.2 (skeptical hypothesis), 0.5, and 0.8 (optimistic hypothesis). Results We calculated the FPR associated with 189 statistically significant findings (P<.05) reported across 44 trials. The median FPR was 9% (25th–75th percentile, 2%–24%). Sixty-three percent of statistically significant results (119/189) had an FPR greater than 5%, and 18% (35/189) had an FPR greater than 50%. Changing the prior probability from skeptical to optimistic reduced the median FPR from 29% (25th–75th percentile, 9%–56%) to 2% (25th–75th percentile, 0.6%–7.0%). Conclusion High-quality RCTs using null-hypothesis significance testing often overestimated treatment effects. The median FPR was 9%: in 1 in 10 trials, the researchers falsely concluded that there was a treatment effect. Future RCTs in sports physical therapy should be informed by prestudy odds and a minimum FPR estimation. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(2):104–109. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9264
