This exploratory study developed a measure of classroom assessment called Test of Thinking Skills in Chemistry (TOTSIC) for secondary school students in Malaysia. The framework used for test specification is based on alternative taxonomy, which derived from Bloom’s Cognitive Taxonomy. The alternative taxonomy of thinking had been redefined and ca

ينطلق هذا البحث من المسلّمة التي ترى أن المشافهة هي نقطة الانطلاق في تعلّم أي لغة من اللغات. كما أن اللغات عمومًا يغلُب عليها الجانب المنطوق أكثر من المكتوب، وعلى الرغم من هذه الحقيقة، فالناظر

We consider an optimal quantum key distribution setup based on minimal number of measurement bases with binary yields used by parties against an eavesdropper limited only by the no-signaling principle. We note that in general, the maximal key rate can be achieved by determining the optimal tradeoff between measurements that attain the maximal Bell

Natural fibre is becoming less-frequently used in the current textile industry with the development of new technology whereby the use of synthetic fibre becomes eminent. Since the use of the nature-based thread in the textile restoration has not been thoroughly explored through scientific research, the objective of this study was to determine and a

Malaysia has invested on public transport over the years to improve quality of leaving. Transportation has been identified as the key area in Malaysia’s government transformation programme. In Malaysia, many people still choose to use their own transport compared to public transport to travel. For efficient public transport service such as bus, r

Introduction: Endotoxin detection and quantification in biological drugs and parenteral is a crucial step in helping us to be confident in process control (IPC) and product release decisions. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves either Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) /Tachypleus Amebocyte Lysate (TAL) derived from blue blood of horseshoe crab

Although the relationship between aging and cognitive decline is well established, there is substantial individual variability in the degree of cognitive decline in older adults. The present study investigates whether variability in cognitive performance in community-dwelling older adults is related to the presence of whole brain or tract-specific

Identifying early life stages of fishes to the species level is one of the challenging task for the taxonomist as the information on key morphological characters are overlapping between genetically closer individuals. Universal DNA barcode (cytochrome oxidase C subunit 1) gene sequence helped tremendously in species level identification of early li
