Physical inactivity has become a major health concern in Malaysia. It is associated with several cardiovascular diseases, chronic diseases, and even death. This study aims to assess the level of physical activity (PA) among students of Universiti Teknologi MARA Perlis. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 167 students within the age group of 20 to 27 years old. The Malaysian version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was used to measure the PA level. The results were expressed in MET-minutes/week (metabolic equivalent). More than half of the students (59%) were engaged in high physical activity per week, while 40% were engaged in moderate PA. A low level of physical activity was reported by 1% of the students. There was a significant contrast in the level of PA between genders, where the male was found to engage more in total PA than the female (p = 0.001). Sports Science students’ engagement was significantly higher in the total of PA (4600.13 MET) than in Business Administration students (3354.05 MET) (p = 0.002). There was a weak relationship between METS and gender (r = - 0.233, p = 0.002) and between MET and faculty (r = -0.287, p = 0.002), respectively. The present result indicates that most of the university students were physically active, where males were most active compared to females. However, a negative relation was found between the MET and gender or faculty, respectively. In essence, further research is necessary to identify the physical activity determinants among these populations.

Resilience can be defined as the aptitude to recover from unexpected events and sustain an acceptable level of competence. In contemporary times, it is irrefutable that every form of business and company must possess resilience. Some businesses, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), are not as robust and will fold under pressure. Certain owners experienced failure due to their insufficient awareness, which hindered their ability to demonstrate resilience. Moreover, the insufficiency of financial resources and limited access to necessary assets significantly contribute to the ineffectiveness of business activities. This study aims to explore how the resources of SME owners add to the resilience of businesses. The most common sources of resilience amongst the owners appear to be a combination of adaptation and social support. Regarding owners’ adaptability, most business owners make efforts to adjust to the prevailing circumstances due to the occurrence of crises and disruptions in business operations. This study identified a range of social support mechanisms available to owners within diverse organizational structures. These mechanisms include support from individuals external to the company, social interactions with newly acquainted individuals, as well as internal and external relationships with individuals within the organization and potential collaborators if required. The study used purposive sampling, specifically targeting a limited sample size of five SME owners in Kedah. The structured interview serves as the primary method for collecting data. Subsequently, the textual data was transcribed to facilitate analysis through a coding procedure. Therefore, themes will be employed to link certain facts.

The crowdfunding industry in Malaysia has experienced rapid growth, with a variety of platform options available in the market. The increasing popularity of crowdfunding in Malaysia can be attributed to the support of information systems, particularly the internet and technology. The realm of financial technology innovations serves to enhance multiple facets of waqf fund management, particularly in addressing the challenges encountered by existing waqf models. As a result, waqf institutions can meet their liquidity needs for developing waqf properties without heavy reliance on government fund allocations by using the crowdfunding. Crowdfunding serves as a promising mechanism to achieve these objectives. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate why the waqf institution does not use crowdfunding to collect waqf funds. This study took a qualitative approach, analysing three chosen SIRCs in Malaysia's Northern Region. The data is subsequently subjected to thematic analysis. According to the survey, both WI1 and WI2 do not adopt crowdfunding owing to a lack of expertise and seek to increase the use of cashless waqf; however, WI3 already uses crowdfunding as a way of collecting waqf funds. The findings from this study will provide researchers with new information.

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected almost every aspect of human life particularly vulnerable group such as Generation Alpha. E-wallet has become increasingly essential to avoid the virus transmission. The pandemic has led to a remarkable increase in e-wallet transactions in Malaysia. However, the reason behind the rapid rise in e-wallet usage is not widely agreed upon. Due to a lack of study on this topic, this paper contributes to the knowledge gap by studying and examining the significant factors that influence private university students’ continued usage intention to use e-wallet as a payment mechanism during the pandemic by incorporating constructs from Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), Technology Continuance Theory (TCT), and Health Belief Model (HBM) into an integrated model. The study employed a quantitative design using Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis to assess the relationship between the variables through SPSS application. The convenience sampling method was used to select about 378 respondents from private universities in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, including UCSI University, Management & Science University, Asia Pacific University, HELP University, Taylor’s University, Sunway University, and SEGi University. The results revealed that facilitating conditions, social influence, perceived usefulness, perceived COVID-19 risk, and price benefit has a significant and positive contribution towards e-wallet continuance usage intention among Generation Alpha in Malaysia during the pandemic. The practical implications for the government and the service providers from the present findings can be used to develop strategies to promote the continuous intention of e-wallet usage during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The onset of Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a drop in visitor ship and income causing many theme parks to fail in sustaining their business. In reciprocating to this pandemic, Malaysia's theme park industry, have become more innovative in adapting to this rapidly changing new norm. This research ascertained the influence of service quality, promotion and price on customer patronage of theme parks during Covid-19. Data were collected from 340 respondents. Convenience sampling technique was used to select the respondents and a close ended structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was used for data collection. Findings from this study revealed that pricing and service quality has a strong influence on theme park patronage. This calls for management of theme parks to innovate and redesign their service quality dimensions and conduct consistent training in theme park service quality delivery to familiarize service delivery employees of their roles in the service delivery process. Theme parks too should inject flexibility in their ticket pricing to make them affordable. Such visitor-centric marketing approach can drive customer satisfaction, create positive word-of-mouth among visitors to increase patronage to the theme park and eventually heighten profits.

Within the food and beverage industry in Malaysia, food delivery service, particularly the application of food delivery apps, is an emerging new wave. The escalation of food delivery apps could shift consumer behaviour in the purchase of food. The paper aims to explore contributing factors influencing consumer behaviour using food delivery apps using a qualitative approach. The approach entails the use of semistructured interviews with eight students, all of whom are Foodpanda food delivery app users, in a high-learning institution. Thematic method of data analysis revealed the following factors influencing the app usage behaviour: Ease of use, Variety of Choice, Social effect, and Time/Cost saving. This finding highlights the behavioural pattern of food delivery app users, which informs on better marketing strategies and planning for future business opportunities.

A new idea of recovery has been discovered called self-myofascial release. Foam rolling is one of the self-myofascial approaches that can help to speed up the recovery process. It works by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles. However, there is no previous research that studies the comparison of recovery modalities between foam rolling (FR), massage (M) and passive recovery (PAS) as tools of the recovery process on youth footballers. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of FR (20 minutes of FR exercises on quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors, gluteus, and gastrocnemius), M (20 minutes of M on quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors, gluteus and gastrocnemius) and passive recovery (20 minutes sit on a bench) interventions performed immediately after a training session on Total Quality Recovery (TQR), perceived muscle soreness (VAS), jump performance, agility, sprint, and flexibility 24 hours after the training. During the two experimental sessions, 30 UiTM FC football players participated in a randomized controlled trial design. The first session was designed to collect the pretest values of each variable. After baseline measurements, the players performed a standardized football training. At the end of the training unit, all the players were randomly assigned to the FR, M and PAS recovery groups. A second experimental session was conducted to obtain the posttest values. As results, CMJ, agility (Arrowhead) and TQR showed positive effects in the FR group in comparison with the M and PAS groups at 24 hours after training. Thus, it is recommended that football coaches and physical trainers working with football players use a structured recovery session lasting approximately 20 minutes based on FR exercises that could be implemented at the end of a training session to enhance recovery between training loads.
人们发现了一种新的恢复方法，叫做自我肌筋膜释放。泡沫滚法是有助于加快恢复过程的自我肌筋膜疗法之一。它的作用是放松收缩的肌肉，改善血液和淋巴循环，刺激肌肉的伸展反射。然而，目前还没有研究将泡沫滚揉（FR）、按摩（M）和被动恢复（PAS）作为青少年足球运动员恢复过程中的工具，对这三种恢复方式进行比较。本研究的目的是考察泡沫滚动法（对股四头肌、腘绳肌、内收肌、臀肌和腓肠肌进行 20 分钟的泡沫滚动法练习）、按摩法（对股四头肌、腘绳肌、内收肌、臀肌和腓肠肌进行 20 分钟的按摩法练习）和被动恢复法的效果、在两个实验课中，30 名运动员在训练课结束后立即进行了 M（对股四头肌、腘绳肌、内收肌、臀肌和腓肠肌进行 20 分钟的 M）和被动恢复（在凳子上坐 20 分钟）干预，这些干预对训练 24 小时后的全面质量恢复（TQR）、肌肉酸痛感（VAS）、跳跃表现、敏捷性、冲刺和柔韧性都有影响。在两节实验课中，30 名 UiTM FC 足球运动员参与了随机对照试验设计。第一节课的目的是收集每个变量的预测值。基线测量结束后，球员们进行了标准化的足球训练。训练结束后，所有球员被随机分配到 FR、M 和 PAS 恢复组。进行了第二次实验，以获得测试后的数值。结果显示，与 M 组和 PAS 组相比，在训练后 24 小时，FR 组的 CMJ、敏捷性（箭头）和 TQR 均显示出积极的效果。因此，建议足球教练和体能训练师在足球运动员的训练过程中，采用基于 FR 运动的约 20 分钟的结构化恢复训练，在训练结束时进行，以加强训练负荷之间的恢复。

Programming language is a subject that is quite difficult to understand at first glance, especially for beginners. Most beginners struggle to comprehend programming concepts because of their low maturity level, lack of programming experience, and difficulty understanding and learning the logic and scripting language. C++ is one of the basic, convenient programming languages that help programmers comprehend the principles of all programming languages. If the principles of C++ have been grasped, someone with a thorough knowledge of the language could easily transit to other programming languages. Therefore, this study proposes the combination of an educational game with C++ to provide early exposure to novice programmers and assist those who are struggling to learn the programming language. Furthermore, it attempts to create and develop an interactive, instructional programming game. Another purpose of this study is to test the usefulness of the generated programming game using a questionnaire. The study utilized the Agile Model because iterative development is one of its components. The agile technique consists of six (6) phases: requirements, design, development, testing, deployment, and review. This study did usability testing with 30 individuals. Most of them agreed that gamification might change a tough and complex topic into one that would be incredibly engaging. In addition, it has ultimately allowed users to properly learn C++. Future work may employ a broader range of programming languages.
编程语言是一门乍看之下很难理解的学科，对于初学者来说尤其如此。大多数初学者由于成熟度低、缺乏编程经验、难以理解和学习逻辑和脚本语言，因此很难理解编程概念。C++ 是最基本、最方便的编程语言之一，可以帮助程序员理解所有编程语言的原理。如果掌握了 C++ 的原理，对该语言有透彻了解的人很容易过渡到其他编程语言。因此，本研究建议将教育游戏与 C++ 结合起来，为程序员新手提供早期接触 C++ 的机会，并帮助那些在学习编程语言过程中遇到困难的人。此外，本研究还试图创建和开发一款互动式的编程教学游戏。本研究的另一个目的是通过问卷调查测试生成的编程游戏是否有用。本研究采用了敏捷模型，因为迭代开发是敏捷模型的组成部分之一。敏捷技术包括六（6）个阶段：需求、设计、开发、测试、部署和审查。这项研究对 30 个人进行了可用性测试。他们中的大多数人都认为，游戏化可能会把一个艰难而复杂的话题变成一个令人难以置信的吸引人的话题。此外，游戏化最终使用户能够正确地学习 C++。未来的工作可能会采用更广泛的编程语言。

Most beginners struggle to comprehend programming concepts because of their low maturity level, lack of programming experience, and difficulty understanding and learning the logic and scripting language. C++ is one of the basic, convenient programming languages that help programmers comprehend the principles of all programming languages. If the principles of C++ have been grasped, someone with a thorough knowledge of the language could easily transit to other programming languages. Therefore, this study proposes the combination of an educational game with C++ to provide early exposure to novice programmers and assist those who are struggling to learn the programming language. Furthermore, it attempts to create and develop an interactive, instructional programming game. Another purpose of this study is to test the usefulness of the generated programming game using a questionnaire. The study utilized the Agile Model because iterative development is one of its components. The agile technique consists of six (6) phases: requirements, design, development, testing, deployment, and review. This study did usability testing with 30 individuals. Most of them agreed that gamification might change a tough and complex topic into one that would be incredibly engaging. In addition, it has ultimately allowed users to properly learn C++. Future work may employ a broader range of programming languages.","PeriodicalId":153855,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Intelek","volume":"274 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140468021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cooperative learning, a collaborative approach where students work together in small groups to comprehend academic content, has gained recognition as an effective pedagogical method. Algebra, a mathematical discipline employing letters and symbols to represent quantities and figures, often poses challenges for secondary school students. Despite advancements in teaching strategies, Mathematics achievement among students remains a concern. Existing literature suggests that cooperative learning may offer superior results in enhancing students' mathematical performance compared to traditional methods. This study aims to assess the influence of cooperative learning on students' proficiency in comprehending algebraic expressions. Employing a quantitative approach, data was gathered through a questionnaire. 68 samples of secondary students in Kelantan, Malaysia were obtained and analysed using SPSS. The results demonstrate a positive impact of cooperative learning on the secondary students’ achievement in understanding algebraic expressions.
