Chua Bee Seok, Jasmine Adela Mutang, Tan Cho Chiew

Volume : vol 5

Publication Date : 2021-12-15

Keywords : cognitive training, learning difficulty, attention level, accuracy response

Abstract : This paper discusses the development of cognitive training games based on meta-cognitive technique and to aid in enhancing cognitive processes among children with a learning difficulty (especially having problems paying attention and responding to stimuli accurately). The study was conducted on four (4) primary school students in the Bio-neurofeedback laboratory at the Faculty of Psychology and Education, Universiti Malaysia Sabah. The instruments used in this study include a cognitive training game, which consists of Neuro Game: Number and Neuro Game: Location to measure cognitive process and response accuracy to stimuli. The Mind Wave EEG Headsets measure the attention level of participants and computer to display the game and monitor participants’ cognitive processes. The effectiveness of the cognitive training game is tested by comparing the mean score of attention and mean score of accuracy response to stimuli of participants at the initial five training sessions and a subsequent five training sessions. The pretest result shows no significant increment in participants’ attention score and accurate response to stimuli score from the first five cognitive training sessions to the end of the session. These results are not as expected. However, the cognitive training game is believed to measure and improve children's cognitive process with further improvement with learning difficulty. One of the encouraging findings in the current study is the neuro game designed by the researchers can be used as an inventory to measure individual attention level and accuracy response to stimuli.

Publication Date : 2021-12-15

Keywords : konsep kebergantungan, dana kewangan, belia, pemimpin belia, Felda

Abstract : Kajian ini adalah bertujuan untuk memahami budaya kebergantungan daripada perspektif pemimpin belia di tanah rancangan Felda. Kajian menggunakan kaedah kualitatif sebagai reka bentuk kajian menerusi kaedah temu bual. 11 orang pengerusi atau ketua yang mewakili 11 wilayah Felda yang dipilih sebagai responden kajian bagi memahami budaya kebergantungan belia di wilayah masing-masing. Berdasarkan hasil analisis temu bual yang dijalankan menemui terdapat tiga tema asas yang muncul iaitu budaya kebergantungan terhadap dana untuk menjalankan aktiviti belia, pemberian dana oleh pihak Felda untuk menjalankan aktiviti ekonomi dan program penjanaan pendapatan oleh Felda. Ketiga-tiga tema asas ini telah membentuk tema utama iaitu budaya kebergantungan pemimpin belia terhadap dana kewangan Felda. Budaya kebergantungan ini menyebabkan mereka sentiasa mengharapkan bantuan dana daripada Felda. Oleh yang demikian, bagi menjadikan belia sebagai peneraju tanah rancangan Felda, mereka perlu dipersiapkan untuk menjadi pelapis pada masa akan datang bagi membolehkan mereka membangunkan kelompok komuniti mereka di samping mengetengahkan cara lain untuk diberikan kepada mereka agar tidak terus mengamalkan budaya kebergantungan terhadap Felda.

Abstract : Generalized anxiety disorder is an ongoing mental health disorder that gives rise to fear, continuous feeling of being overly concerned about everything in everyday life. The prevalence of generalized anxiety problems in youngsters who enrolled in university and colleges is quite higher among other adults. In terms of gender differences, females are twice or thrice as likely as males to experience generalized anxiety disorder. Thus, this study is carried out to determine GAD level among university students, to compare levels of GAD between male and female, as well as to determine correlation between generalized anxiety and CGPA. A total of 399 respondents participated in this study with 212 female and 187 male respondents. The data for this study is collected by using Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale. The results of this study revealed that generalized anxiety score is found high among female students compared to male students. Moreover, generalized anxiety negatively correlates with CGPA of students. In conclusion, GAD-7 score in this population is high in female students than in male students and there is a significant negative correlation between CGPA and generalized anxiety score. With this finding, parents, teachers, counsellors and other mental health professionals can hopefully have better insights regarding the likelihood of GAD among university students in terms of gender differences and academic performance.

Ida Shafinaz Mohamed Kamil, Mohd Dahlan A. Malek

Volume : vol 5

Publication Date : 2021-12-15

Keywords : berita palsu, COVID-19, kesalahan jenayah, infodemik, pandemik

Abstract : Hari ini, seluruh dunia sedang menghadapi bencana yang dipanggil penyakit novel coronavirus yang dikenali sebagai COVID-19. Setakat Oktober 2021, telah dilaporkan bahawa lebih daripada 248 juta kes dan 5 juta kematian direkodkan di seluruh dunia. Di Malaysia, 2,466,663 kes direkodkan dengan 28,876 kematian dilaporkan pada 30 Oktober 2021. Malangnya, dunia bukan sahaja berhadapan dengan pandemik COVID-19, malah infodemik COVID-19 juga, di mana berita palsu tentang penyakit COVID-19 merebak dengan lebih cepat dan lebih meluas daripada virus itu sendiri. Penularan berita palsu semakin berleluasa menerusi pelbagai platfom media sosial yang menimbulkan kebimbangan dalam kalangan masyarakat. Ketidakpastian dalam memahami apa sebenarnya berita palsu telah menyebabkan kesukaran dan cabaran dalam menyediakan penyelesaian kepada bahaya yang ditimbulkan oleh berita palsu. Artikel ini membincangkan apa yang dikatakan berita palsu dan mengkaji rangka kerja undang-undang yang disediakan untuk memerangi berita palsu di Malaysia. Dengan menggunakan metodologi penyelidikan doktrinal, artikel ini menganalisis dengan teliti peruntukan undang-undang yang berkaitan di bawah Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998, dan Kanun Keseksaan serta Ordinan Darurat (Kuasa-Kuasa Perlu) (No.2) 2021 yang berkuat kuasa pada 12 Mac 2021 serta kes berkaitan, untuk kesalahan dan hukuman berhubung dengan berita palsu. Dapatan daripada analisis menunjukkan bahawa masih terdapat ruang untuk penambahbaikan dalam peruntukan undang-undang untuk mengawal berita palsu khususnya mengenai COVID- 19.
