This cross-sectional survey examined the structure of university students' subjective knowledge of green computing-hypothesized to be a multidimensional construct with three important dimensions-and its association with pro-environmental behavior (PEB). Using a previously validated green computing questionnaire, data were collected from 842 und

This paper reports the findings of a national study involving 534 lecturers from 33 higher learning institutions in Malaysia to find out their self-reported practices and perceived competencies in assessment for learning. Data were collected using a 24-item assessment practice inventory drawn from five of the six standards stipulated in an establis

Diabetes mellitus is one of the major reasons for mortality worldwide and numerous scientific studies are going on to find plausible solutions to overcome and manage diabetes and its related infirmities. Traditional medicines use medicinal plants as anti-diabetic agents and despite being a disturbing weed to farming land Mimosa pudica Linn. has a h

Despite the Malaysian government’s efforts to increase the use of ICT in school, teachers’ uptake of the technology remains slow and dismal. In this study, teachers’ perceptions of the barriers that inhibited their use of ICT in the science classroom were explored. One hundred and fifty-one (N = 151) science teachers from selected secondary s

This qualitative case study explored the views of Irish college students regarding the benefits of screencasts in enhancing their Maths learning experience. A total of 47 Maths screencasts were uploaded onto the relevant Maths Moodle pages for students to access. An open-response survey asking about the benefits of the screencasts and how they help

Recombination is a basic biological force, which, with mutation, plays an important role in generating new combinations of alleles in each chromosome, by shuffling and exchanging genetic material between maternal and paternal chromosomes. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the rapidly evolving zinc-finger (ZF) protein, PRDM9, is responsible fo

The lack of innovation in human capital in terms of quality and quantity as well as the significant brain drain has retarded the progress of Malaysia towards becoming a developed country by 2020. In view of this situation, the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) of Malaysia has assigned the National Coordination Taskforce for Innovation (NCTI) to d

It is shown that asymmetric waveguides with gain and loss can support a stable propagation of optical beams. This means that the propagation constants of modes of the corresponding complex optical potential are real. A class of such waveguides is found from a relation between two spectral problems. A particular example of an asymmetric waveguide, d

Forging is a complicated bulk metal forming process whereby the material undergoes excessive plastic deformation at elevated temperature. The physical phenomena constituting metal forming processes are difficult to express with quantitative relationships. In this paper, reduced experimental work combined with extensive numerical simulations with LS

ABSTRACT - Being an honest perso means being polite to others and helping them. It looks simple, but being actually honest with others and with ourselves is not easy, it is a real challenge that requires hard work, serenity, patience and vigilance (watchfulness). This work tries to explain what dishonesty is and understand the workings of dishonest
