Every individual has their own learning strategies. The utilization of learning strategies always give a significant impacts on students' academic performance and conceptual understanding. The objective of this study is to explore the perception of learners on their use of learning strategies particularly for physics subjects in higher institutions. This research uses quantitative methodology with data collection using a questionnaire which consisted of 3 sections: cognitive component, metacognitive component and resource management component. A total of 104 students of the Foundation in Science and Foundation in Engineering from the Centre of Foundation Studies, UiTM Selangor Branch, Dengkil Campus participated in the survey. This study has substantial implications for academia in general as well as the subject of physics education. It contributes to the existing body of knowledge by offering a comprehensive exploration of the general learning strategies that students employ in striving for success in physics subjects. The study's importance ultimately lies in its ability to narrow existing gaps in physics education, opening the door to practical solutions and enhancements that will help learners, educators, and the scientific community as a whole.

This paper focuses on The Irish Girl in America (1863) by the Irish author, Mary Anne Sadlier (1820-1903), who composed under the alias “J. Sadlier”. Her narratives are set against the cultural landscape of The Great Potato Famine (1845-1849) and depict the existence of Irish female transients of the 19 th Century, which we contend is as yet understudied and overlooked in the educational curve on works of writing on the Irish female character. This is notwithstanding how authentic archives point out how the Irish female characters assisted with causing p rogressive acknowledgment of the Irish female outsiders’ presence. We hypothesise that the abstract portrayals of the Irish female migrants can be examined in The Irish Girl in America by Sadlier by zeroing how they accomplish advantaged stances as untouchables from inside the local host area. By utilising a hermeneutic, textual analysis, we centre around the author’s portrayals of the encounters of the slow arousing of the Irish female heroes by using “the stance hypothesis” by Sandra Harding (1986). Conse quently, this study investigates the awareness for a self-definition through specific and aggregate degrees of accomplishing a “standpoint” experienced by the Irish female protagonists. Our findings uncover how the Irish female migrant characters can perform advantaged points of view and acknowledgment in their new local area.
本文重点介绍爱尔兰作家玛丽-安妮-萨德莉尔（Mary Anne Sadlier，1820-1903 年）的作品《美国的爱尔兰女孩》（The Irish Girl in America，1863 年），她的创作化名为 "J. Sadlier"。她的叙事以 "大马铃薯饥荒"（1845-1849 年）的文化景观为背景，描绘了 19 世纪爱尔兰女性流浪者的生存状态，我们认为，在关于爱尔兰女性性格的写作教育曲线中，对这一问题的研究还不够深入，也被忽视了。尽管真实的档案资料指出了爱尔兰女性角色如何帮助人们逐步认识到爱尔兰女性外来者的存在。我们假设，可以通过对爱尔兰女性移民如何在当地收容区内以贱民身份取得有利地位进行归零，来研究萨利尔的《美国的爱尔兰女孩》中对爱尔兰女性移民的抽象描写。通过解释学的文本分析，我们利用桑德拉-哈丁（Sandra Harding，1986 年）提出的 "立场假设"，围绕作者对爱尔兰女英雄缓慢崛起的遭遇的描写展开研究。因此，本研究通过爱尔兰女主人公所经历的 "立场 "的具体和总体完成程度，来研究她们的自我定义意识。我们的研究结果揭示了爱尔兰女性移民角色如何在新的地方表现出有利的观点和认可。

Floods are a natural disaster phenomenon in most parts of the world. Floods, like Malaysia, are frequent natural disasters in most parts of the world. This natural disaster related to weather in Malaysia has two major types (i) flash flood and (ii) monsoon flood. The monsoon rains also caused flooding in other parts of Malaysia e.g. in Johor, Terengganu, Kelantan, Sabah, and Sarawak, forcing hundreds to evacuate. Floods hit the state of Pahang every year, causing significant loss to the socio-economic of vulnerable stakeholders living in flood-prone areas. This study conducts a systematic literature review on vulnerability towards flood events and the use of GIS applications by previous researchers for flood mapping from 2009 to 2019. Two main concepts were applied during the literature search and review phase to explore the dimension of vulnerability and to analyse the GIS technique in flood studies of Pahang State. To date, there are only six studies related to the preferred criteria of this review. Vulnerability studies done in the past ten years focused on the dimension of socio-economic rather than the geophysical dimension. Only two studies applied GIS techniques for flood vulnerability mapping in Pahang. Thus, to create a local vulnerability map, the socioeconomic vulnerability assessment findings are integrated with the flood area's geographic data, which are essential and motivation for further study. It has a guideline for policymakers to prepare and manage natural disasters, especially in the flood-prone area.

This paper explores the evolution of E-government Development in West Africa over the past two decades through the E-government Development Index (EGDI) scores obtained from United Nations E-government Surveys. The study aims to assess trends and offer recommendations for enhancing E-government effectiveness and impact in the sub-region. It emphasizes the significance of studying E-government in the region to address governance challenges, promote socio-economic development, and empower citizens. The analysis of EGDI scores reveals that Cape Verde, Ghana, Liberia, and Nigeria demonstrate higher readiness for e-government initiatives, while other countries lag. Comparison of Global Average EGDI scores across the surveys shows overall progress with fluctuations in few surveys. In each of the surveys, West African countries generally fall below the Global Average, indicating a wide gap in E-government development in the sub-region. Leveraging E-government can foster inclusive growth, transparency, and citizen empowerment. However, challenges persist, requiring investment in ICT infrastructure, digital literacy, and governance processes. Future research could explore other regions and develop frameworks for enhancing EGDI components of OSI, TII, and HCI in West African countries.

The collaboration between the Malaysian Prison Department and Open University Malaysia (OUM) represents a progressive and forward-thinking approach to inmate rehabilitation. Providing access to tertiary education for inmates not only equips them with valuable knowledge and skills but also instills a sense of purpose and hope for the future. Education can serve as a catalyst for personal growth, self-improvement, and the development of positive attitudes and behaviors. A sample of 37 respondents from a total of 83 prisoners-students are involved in this study. Factor analysis was utilised to identify if student attribute, social influence and financial aid influenced prison inmates’ decision to pursue Open University Malaysia’s programmes in prisons. Results of the multiple linear regression indicated that there was a significant effect between student attributes and decision to study, which means that inmates' own characteristics will motivate them to continue learning which can lead to future success in their pursuit for excellence in tertiary education. The significant effect found between student attributes and the decision to study underscores the importance of individual characteristics in motivating inmates to engage in educational programmes. This understanding can help tailor educational initiatives to better meet the diverse needs and motivations of incarcerated individuals, ultimately enhancing their chances of successful reintegration into society upon release. The findings of this study not only contribute to our understanding of correctional education but also highlight the potential of such programmes in fostering personal growth and reducing repetition rates.

Background: Social media drives marketing, with users turning into influencers, leading to influencer marketing. As human influencers (HIs) and virtual influencers (VIs) exist, understanding why individuals follow HIs or VIs is crucial. Methods: Literature on followers’ motivations were found in Scopus and CNKI databases, and the sample was collected manually. Data extraction and summarization followed search, screen, select, critical appraisal, and thematic analysis, using the Modified PRISMA 2020 flow diagram and MMAT tool as guides. Findings: Twenty-one articles were reviewed, revealing seven motivations for following both HIs and VIs. The followers of HIs are primarily driven by meeting their own needs, while those following VIs are often motivated by curiosity about the identity of the VIs, their operators, and underlying technology. Conclusion: Current research explores followership motivation for HIs, with a limited focus on VIs. As the field of VIs is still relatively under-researched, future research could further expand the exploration of the impact of VIs and their relationship with followers.
背景：社交媒体推动了市场营销，用户变成了有影响力的人，从而产生了影响力营销。由于存在人类影响者（HIs）和虚拟影响者（VIs），了解个人为何追随人类影响者或虚拟影响者至关重要。方法：在 Scopus 和 CNKI 数据库中查找有关追随者动机的文献，并人工收集样本。数据提取和总结遵循检索、筛选、选择、批判性评价和主题分析的原则，并以修改后的 PRISMA 2020 流程图和 MMAT 工具为指导。研究结果对 21 篇文章进行了审查，发现了追随 HI 和 VI 的七种动机。关注人机交互界面的人主要是为了满足自身需求，而关注虚拟主机的人通常是出于对虚拟主机的身份、操作者和底层技术的好奇。结论：目前的研究探讨了人机界面的追随者动机，但对虚拟主机的关注有限。由于对虚拟机构领域的研究还相对不足，未来的研究可以进一步扩大对虚拟机构的影响及其与追随者关系的探索。

The aging problem brought by aging has become a great challenge for all countries in the world, and since the 20th century, all modern countries in the world have taken coping with population aging as a basic national policy. Population aging is the global population trend development. For a considerable duration, it will remain a fundamental characteristic of China. The issue of ageing is no longer a problem that the elderly and their families need to face. However, this is not only a problem or difficulty that individuals may tackle alone, but rather a matter that requires the collective engagement of the entire society. Communities across the world and specifically China are experiencing major difficulties in the transition in the medical-care-integrated aged care model. This study aims to examine the existing literature on the implementation and effectiveness of the medical-care-integrated aged care model in both China and other countries. Offering a citation for the establishment of the medical-care-integrated aged care paradigm in China. The commonly used the medical-care-integrated aged care model in Chinese include setting up a nursing home in a hospital, setting up a hospital at a long-term care facility for elderly individuals, contractual cooperation between a hospital and a nursing home, and hospital-community-family cooperation model, and conducting a literature review on the research of these four the medical-care-integrated aged care model. By analyzing the medical-care-integrated aged care models in China and other countries, Chinese policies, and the characteristics of the four medical-care-integrated aged care models in China, it is found that many MECM studies in China are More immediate research, lack of sustainable development research ideas; many specific issues are discussed, but few comprehensive research results, this may be related to the fact that there are more pilot studies in China; scattered disciplinary perspectives and lack of innovation in research perspectives.

This research is a comprehensive investigation of the profound significance of traditional Chinese elements, in fact, peony frenzy patterns, to modern furniture design. The study, which extensively investigates the topic of cultural heritage preservation, modern design integration, and youth engagement, among other things, based on peony fractal motifs in Chinese art and furniture depicts the historical connotation, cultural importance, and practical value. The studies combine qualitative and qualitative methodologies involving literature review, questionnaire survey and case studies. In the end, the competing influence of the two elements, tradition and modernity, for furniture designing is drawn out from the research. The outlined evidence reveals that embracing cultural learning and forging connections between designers and cultural institutions helps to trend-proof traditional motifs into modern designs. Finally, this research project contributes to a fundamental insight regarding the importance of designing furniture that has traditional cultural features not only brings more life to contemporary furniture but also guarantees the passing on of the Chinese cultural legacy in the modern context.
