Spiritual reminiscence therapy (SRT) is an intervention that involves evaluation of life experiences by sharing memories with others that guide individuals to understand the purpose of their life and future hopes. The effectiveness of SRT more specifically for older people needs greater interrogation before this intervention can be recommended. An

With the advent of communication technology evolution, learning becomes flexible and accessible at any time and anywhere. Educational technology researchers have extensively integrated the Theory of Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behavior to link the beliefs and actions in mobile learning. This study attempted to predict a hypothesize

The aim of education is to ensure a holistic development towards knowledge and well-being. Despite exhaustive effort on embedding twenty-first century skills in science teaching, students show lack of interest to learn and pursue their science careers. This present study has attempted to develop an instrument for measuring attitude towards science

In this work, a supercontinuum (SC) source is proposed and demonstrated using a highly-doped, 2 m long zirconia-erbium doped fiber (Zr-EDF) with a dopant concentration of 3800 ppm/wt and a narrow core 100 m long single-mode-fiber (SMF). A graphene based saturable absorber (SA) is used as a passive mode-locker, generating pulses with an average outp

Objective: The aim of this paper was to review prevalence rates of loneliness, anxiety, and depression among older people living in long-term care settings such as residential aged care facilities, nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Method: A systematic search of the literature was conducted using several electronic databases including M

This study attempts to highlight the trend of research in science related subjects specifically in schools. Articles and journals were retrieved from Google scholar under peer reviewed with the aim to highlight the trend of research methods, findings and teaching strategies. The themes were based on pedagogical approaches of teaching science, stude

Aerospace structures such as fuselage and wings are made of typical thin-walled closed sections and the detailed stress analysis of such closed thin-walled structures can be tedious and time consuming due to its statically indeterminate nature of the problem. In the present work, an educational software for the stress analysis of such non-idealized

An educational software which can aid students in the stress analysis of thin wall open sections made of composite material has been developed. The software enables students to easily calculate stresses in different shapes of thin walled open section and evaluate the stresses in each ply under shear and torsion. Results obtained through this softwa

Significant growing on environmental awareness has led researchers to study the surface functionalisation of cellulose nanofiber using natural renewable resources. This study aims to improve the percentage swelling of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) of cocoa pod husks, crops-by product with Ƴ- methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS). Investigati

Polylactic acid (PLA) is known to be brittle by nature and thus limits the flexibility of the polymer. A possible solution to enhance the flexibility of PLA is to add a flexible polymeric based material such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). In this study, 30-50 wt% of TPU was added into PLA/curcumin blends to improve its flexibility. Thermal an
