Background and Purpose: One of the difficulties that emerged during online learning was the teaching and learning of listening skills which prompted the development of an online platform, Computer-based Language Test (CBLT), to assist educators conduct listening practices and assessment with students without experiencing geographical limitations. As this is a novel platform, this paper intends to examine students’ perceptions of listening skills and online learning after utilising this platform using the developed CBLT-Listening Questionnaire. Methodology: This cross-sectional quantitative study employed questionnaires to collect data from diploma students. Two-stage sampling was utilised whereby the first stage used stratified random sampling in selecting classes from twenty-three (23) branches of the university. Simple random sampling was practised in the second stage which yielded 410 responses. The data were subjected to descriptive and exploratory factor analyses (EFA) in SPSS. Findings: Descriptive analysis revealed that the respondents find listening a difficult skill to acquire yet view CBLT an excellent initiative for online distance learning. EFA revealed that the items in the Listening construct were significant and to be retained. However, the EFA results reported that one item from the Online Distance Learning construct needs to be deleted from the questionnaire. Contributions: The validated CBLT-S Listening Questionnaire serves as an instrument to investigate the impact of a novel online platform (CBLT) on students' perceptions on listening and online learning. The results from this study evidenced that online platforms that incorporate practices and assessment are viewed positively by students for pedagogy in language teaching.

Background and Purpose: This study aims to demonstrate the integrated anti-money laundering (AML) initiatives in the Malaysian banking industry, with particular focus towards achieving the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) full-compliant status. Methodology: This study adopts a qualitative approach, which includes reviews and analysis of secondary data in relevant literature and documents relating to money laundering risk in the Malaysian banking industry. Findings: The integrated AML initiatives combine domestic and international efforts, which are anchored by the Malaysian Central Bank and FATF, respectively. Malaysia has been proactively abiding by the FATF requirements, and affirmative progression can be seen from the improved FATF-compliant status throughout the years. Conclusion and Contributions: This study adds new knowledge to the existing literature by integrating domestic and international AML efforts. Achieving a FATF full-compliant status is not impossible for Malaysia with the current integrated AML initiatives in place, and this forms a strong pillar that could protect the Malaysian banking industry from money laundering risk.

Background and Purpose: Achievement Motivation defines motivation as a concept that forecasts the behavioural inclination to strive for success and performance based on a person's urge for achievement. The purpose of this study was to examine the link between academic self-efficacy and problem-based learning (PBL) and achievement motivation among students of Islamic studies. Methodology: A quantitative research design was used for this explanatory investigation. 578 undergraduate students from three institutions in Malaysia—UM, IIUM, and USIM—totaled took part in the study. The participants were chosen at random. Both descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to analyse the data set. Additionally, an intergroup comparison analysis and the independent sample t-test were performed. Results: The results of an independent sample t-test showed a significant difference in the mean achievement motivation scores between students of applied Islamic studies (M = 3.31, SD =.41) and those of non-applied Islamic studies (M = 3.04, SD =.38). This difference is statistically significant at t (575) = -7.94, p =.00. When ASE was controlled, PBL's influence on AchM diminished (Sobel z= 3.83, p=0.00), indicating that ASE was the mediator of the relationship between PBL and AchM. F (7, 570) = 22.42, p .0005, adj. R2 =.206, multiple regression substantially predicted ASE. The outcome demonstrates that the method used to solve problems and the kind of programs used may both be effective predictors of students' academic self-efficacy in Islamic studies. Contribution: The study concludes that achievement has a big impact on students’ motivation. The findings of the study may contribute to the departments of Islamic studies and the Ministry of Higher Education in Malaysia (MoHE) in understanding the present issue of achievement motivation, as the ministry's goal is to increase students' self-efficacy. The study has implications on Islamic Studies students at higher learning institutions to boost their motivation.

背景和目的:成就动机将动机定义为一个概念,它预测了基于一个人对成就的渴望而追求成功和表现的行为倾向。摘要本研究旨在探讨伊斯兰学学生学业自我效能感与问题型学习(PBL)及成就动机的关系。方法:本解释性调查采用定量研究设计。来自马来西亚三所大学(um、IIUM和usim)的578名本科生参加了这项研究。参与者是随机挑选的。采用描述性统计和回归分析对数据集进行分析。此外,还进行了组间比较分析和独立样本t检验。结果:独立样本t检验结果显示,应用伊斯兰研究学生的平均成就动机得分(M = 3.31, SD = 0.41)与非应用伊斯兰研究学生的平均成就动机得分(M = 3.04, SD = 0.38)有显著差异。这一差异在t (575) = -7.94, p =.00时具有统计学意义。当ASE得到控制时,PBL对AchM的影响减弱(Sobel z= 3.83, p=0.00),表明ASE是PBL与AchM之间关系的中介。F (7,570) = 22.42, p .0005, R2 =。206,多元回归基本预测ASE。结果表明,解决问题的方法和所使用的课程类型可能都是伊斯兰研究中学生学术自我效能感的有效预测因素。贡献:研究得出结论,成绩对学生的学习动机有很大的影响。研究结果可能有助于伊斯兰研究部门和马来西亚高等教育部(MoHE)理解当前的成就动机问题,因为该部的目标是提高学生的自我效能感。这项研究对高等教育机构中从事伊斯兰研究的学生有启发意义,可以提高他们的学习动机。关键词:成就动机,伊斯兰研究,基于问题的学习,自我效能感。引自:Islam, T., and Zayed, T.

Background and Purpose: Following the global coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in Malaysia, the Malaysian government had imposed a Movement Control Order (MCO) on 16 March 2020 as a measure to curb the outbreak. Consequently, all non-essential affairs were suspended and operated fully on a work-from-home basis, when schools were temporarily closed, and citizens were urged to stay at home. Despite a high number of studies on the negative impacts of MCO to various sectors, there is a little concern noted for the potential impacts on vulnerable populations, including parents with special kids such as cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the burdens and difficulties associated with the experience of caring for children with CP during the MCO Methodology: This study was designed as qualitative research. Twenty-six participants were selected using a purposive sampling method to involve in in-depth interviews. They were the parents who joined the Cerebral Palsy Support Group in Terengganu, Malaysia. The interview responses were thematically analyzed using a content analysis method. Findings: Four main themes were revealed from the thematic analysis, namely emotional distress, worry over postponement of therapy and medical consultation, burn out due to work from home, and conditions of the CP children themselves. The findings indicated that both mothers, either working or housewife, experienced depression and deterioration in physical health and psychosocial emotions. Contributions: Interventions in the forms of financial aids, guidance for CP children self-therapy at home, and emotional supports are urgently needed to ensure mothers and their CP children maintain their quality of life despite the MCO.

Background and Purpose: Vocabulary is the fundamental aspect of a language. However, second language (L2) learners often perceive vocabulary learning as boring and difficult. As such, various efforts must be made by teachers to empower pupils’ vocabulary base to be able to be competent in the target language. Hence, this study attempts to address the use of blended learning on pupils’ vocabulary development and motivation. Methodology: This research adopted the quantitative research design. The research participants consisted of two classes of primary school pupils chosen through purposive sampling. The pupils were divided into the experimental group and the control group. The instruments used were pre-test, post-test, and questionnaires. An independent t-test was used to compare the mean score to see any significant difference in terms of pupils’ pre-test and post-test scores whereas mean interpretation was used to determine pupils’ level of motivation. Findings: The results revealed that pupils who learned through blended learning performed better in terms of vocabulary development compared to the pupils who learned through traditional learning. Similarly, pupils have high motivation towards blended learning instructions. It is apparent that pupils become motivated learners when their need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness are fulfilled. Contributions: This research aids teachers in constructing suitable blended learning environments for content delivery as an alternative way for students to interact with information in preparation for classroom work.

Background and Purpose: In the past year, 6.6% of patients with major depressive disorders attempted suicide. Suicidal ideation and behavior may be protected by resilience. Despite decades of research on suicide risk factors in young people, our understanding of the phenomenon has not improved significantly. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the relationship between Psychopathological Distress and Suicide in Adults with Major Depressive Disorder. The current study also examines Moderating Role of Resilience and Mediating role of Deliberate Self-Harm among Adults with Major Depressive Disorder. Methodology: Correlational research design was used in the present study. Data was taken from (n=300) adults with major depressive disorder through purposive sampling strategy. Attitude toward deliberate self-harm questionnaire, Columbia suicide screener, brief resilience scale, depression anxiety stress scale and beck depression inventory-II were used as an assessment measure. Findings: The result showed that psychopathological distress (r = .04, p < .005) with suicide, and, resilience significant negative (r = -.11, p < .004) relationship with suicide. However, deliberates self-harm (r = .21, p = .001) showed a significant positive relationship with suicide. Regression findings found that all models were significant. In the first step (ΔR2 = .02, F (1, 298) = .51, p = .000) psychopathological distress was a statistically significant predictor (β = .04, p = .000), In the second model (ΔR2 = -.06, F (2, 297) = 2.23, p < .004) resilience (β = -.11, p = .004) was significant predictor of suicide. In the third model (ΔR2 = -.03, F (3, 296) = 4.95, p < .001) deliberate self-harm (β = .23, p = .001) was significant predictor of suicide. In addition, mediation analysis revealed that deliberate self-harm was a significant (p = .05) mediator between psychopathological distress and suicide. Moderating findings showed significant interaction effect of psychopathological distress x resilience (B= -1.42, p= .00) and it revealed that resilience play a significant (p = .05) moderating role between psychopathological distress and suicide. Contributions. The study concludes that higher level of psychopathological distress and deliberate self-harm leads toward higher level of suicide which cause severe level of major depressive disorder. The present study will help to understand to enhance the resilience which reduce deliberate self-harm and suicide act among adults with major depressive disorder.

背景与目的:在过去的一年中,有6.6%的重性抑郁症患者企图自杀。自杀意念和行为可能受到适应力的保护。尽管对年轻人自杀风险因素的研究已经进行了几十年,但我们对这一现象的理解并没有显著提高。因此,本研究旨在探讨成人重度抑郁症患者精神病理困扰与自杀的关系。本研究还探讨了心理弹性在成人重度抑郁症患者故意自残行为中的调节作用和中介作用。方法:本研究采用相关研究设计。数据来自(n=300)名患有重度抑郁症的成年人,采用有目的的抽样策略。采用故意自残态度问卷、哥伦比亚自杀筛查量表、简易心理弹性量表、抑郁焦虑压力量表和贝克抑郁量表- ii作为评估量表。结果显示,精神病理困扰与自杀(r = 0.04, p < 0.005)、心理弹性显著负相关(r = -)。11, p < .004)与自杀的关系。然而,故意自残(r = .21, p = .001)与自杀呈显著正相关。回归结果发现所有模型均显著。在第一步(ΔR2 = 0.02, F (1,298) = 0.51, p = .000)中,精神病理困扰是有统计学意义的预测因子(β = .04, p = .000);06年,F (297) = 2.23, p <韧性(β= - 04)。11, p = 0.004)是自杀的显著预测因子。在第三个模型中(ΔR2 = -。03, F (3,296) = 4.95, p < .001)故意自残(β = .23, p = .001)是自杀的显著预测因子。此外,中介分析显示,故意自残是精神病理困扰与自杀之间的显著中介(p = 0.05)。调节结果显示精神病理困扰与心理弹性之间存在显著的交互作用(B= -1.42, p= .00),心理弹性在精神病理困扰与自杀之间具有显著的调节作用(p = .05)。的贡献。研究表明,高水平的精神病理困扰和故意自残会导致高水平的自杀,从而导致严重的重度抑郁症。本研究将有助于理解如何提高心理弹性以减少成人重度抑郁症患者的故意自残和自杀行为。关键词:精神病理性困扰,复原力,故意自残,自杀,成人,重度抑郁障碍引自:Qamar, T.(2023)。成人重度抑郁障碍的精神病理困扰与自杀:心理弹性的调节作用和故意自残的中介作用。自然科学学报,8(1),229 - 229。http://dx.doi.org/10.24200/jonus.vol8iss1pp226-245

Background and Purpose: Sadd al-dharai' is a secondary source in Islamic law where it means blocking the means. Sadd al-dharai' is essential for Muslim jurists to deal with the Shariah issues particularly in the halal food industry. This is because the area of the halal food industry has expanded and industrialized to accommodate the demand of the Muslim society that keeps increasing year on year. In this regard, the halal-related issues are getting complex and need Shariah clarification since many new food processing involving critical ingredients, equipment, and multi-process which require meticulous Shariah observation on this matter. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the extent to which the employment of the sadd al-dharai' as a credible tool adopted by Muslim jurist in dealing with the halal-related issues triggered in the halal food supply chain stage based on the halal certification process. Methodology: This reviewed paper is a qualitative research study in nature where document analysis employed in this study to collect the data. The Malaysian fatwas, books, articles either in the form of physical or online were gathered to answer the objective of the study. The data collected mostly from the years of 2010 until 2020 unless the related fatwas where the fatwas are subject to its issuance year and suitability. The researchers used several keywords alternatively like ‘sadd al-dharai' in halal industry’, ‘fatwa and halal certification’, ‘food industry and Islamic law’ to find out relevant articles related to this discussion on the needs to investigate the employment of sadd al-dharai' in dealing with the halal-related issues triggered in the halal food supply chain stage based on the halal certification process. This study further simultaneously adopted the content analysis technique where the data was manually analysed and divided into four major themes based on the objective of the study. Findings: The study has indicated that sadd al-dharai' has its peculiar function in many aspects of the Malaysia halal certification process in Malaysia, and it could be viewed based on the two approaches, namely the establishment of the halal regulatory framework and the fatwa issuance. The principle of preventing the negative aspects must take precedence, in accordance with the rule “dar’u al mafasid muqaddam ‘ala jalb al-mashalih” by adopting several preventive actions is very significant in ensuring the halal food products reach the consumers are halalan tayyibban. Contributions: This study suggests that the Muslim jurists need to take into consideration the sadd al-dharai‘ as one of the sources of Shariah in ensuring the management of the halal certification process is efficient and in line with maqasid al-Shariah. Besides, Muslim consumers could also access halal food products that are free from harmful elements. Keywords: Halal certification, halal food, sadd al-dharai', food safety, food ingredients. Cite as
背景和目的:“Sadd al-dharai”是伊斯兰教法中的一个次要来源,意思是阻止手段。在处理伊斯兰教法问题,尤其是清真食品行业的问题时,“萨德·达拉伊”是穆斯林法学家必不可少的。这是因为清真食品工业的领域已经扩大和工业化,以适应穆斯林社会的需求,逐年增长。在这方面,清真相关的问题变得越来越复杂,需要伊斯兰教法的澄清,因为许多新的食品加工涉及关键的成分,设备和多过程,需要对这个问题进行细致的伊斯兰教法观察。因此,本研究旨在调查穆斯林法学家在处理基于清真认证过程的清真食品供应链阶段引发的与清真相关的问题时,使用“萨达莱”作为一种可信的工具的程度。方法:这篇综述论文本质上是一项定性研究,在本研究中采用文献分析来收集数据。收集了马来西亚的教令、书籍、文章,无论是实物形式还是在线形式,以回答研究的目的。收集的数据大多是从2010年到2020年,除非相关的伊斯兰教令受其发布年份和适用性的限制。研究人员使用了几个关键词,如“在清真产业中的sadd al-dharai”,“法特瓦和清真认证”,“食品工业和伊斯兰法”,以寻找与此讨论相关的相关文章,研究sadd al-dharai在处理清真食品供应链阶段触发的清真相关问题时的必要性。本研究进一步同时采用了内容分析技术,对数据进行人工分析,并根据研究目的分为四大主题。研究结果表明,在马来西亚的清真认证过程中,sadd al-dharai在许多方面都有其独特的作用,可以从两种途径来看待,即建立清真监管框架和发布法特瓦。防止消极方面的原则必须优先考虑,按照“dar ' u al mafasid muqaddam ' ala jalb al-mashalih”的规则,通过采取几项预防措施,对于确保消费者获得清真食品是非常重要的。贡献:本研究表明,穆斯林法学家在确保清真认证过程的管理效率和符合maqasid al-Shariah时,需要考虑将sadd al-dharai作为伊斯兰教法的来源之一。此外,穆斯林消费者也可以购买到不含有害元素的清真食品。关键词:清真认证;清真食品;sad al-dharai;引用自:Ruzulan, Z., Mana, B., Tumiran, M.

Background and Purpose: Metadiscourse marker is one of the most commonly-used linguistic devices in persuasive writing, and it shapes writer’s arguments to the needs and expectations of the target readers. Research has consistently shown that women, on average, are less politically interested, informed, and efficacious than men. However, this does not necessarily imply that male columnists are more persuasive than female columnists when writing political opinion articles. Hence, the present study aims to investigate how male and female columnists use metadiscourse markers in political opinion writing to effectively direct their political views toward their readers. Methodology: This descriptive study used frequency analysis, comparative analysis, and a semi-structured interview with eight ardent readers to examine metadiscourse markers used by male and female columnists in their political opinion articles, as well as the impact of persuasion on their readers. 100 opinion articles about Malaysia's 14th general election were chosen from two English-language online newspaper portals in Malaysia, The Star and the New Straits Times. Findings: The findings revealed that female columnists employed more metadiscourse markers than male columnists. Respondents concluded that articles with more metadiscourse markers used in the text, particularly in the interpersonal category, appeared to be more persuasive. Furthermore, the findings indicated that female columnists presented a more convincing image than those produced by male columnists. Contributions: As research conducted on gender differences in political writing is still rare, this research provided information regarding gender preferences in using metadiscourse markers in political opinion articles. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by informing researchers and opinion writers about the many types of metadiscourse markers that may be used to establish rapport between writers and readers.

Background and Purpose: Generation Y employees often have frequent job dissatisfaction with the private sector, causing job-hopping. The dissatisfaction has been identified as related to the problems in the workplace and family. Due to the fact that the problems have not been much highlighted; hence, this paper aims to investigate the impact of Work-Life Balance (WLB) on Generation Y's job satisfaction in Bangladesh's private sectors. Methodology: This descriptive case study adopted a quantitative method to reach the research objectives. In this quantitative study, Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) was used to empirically test the model and mediating effects of the extrinsic motivational factors between work-life balance and job satisfaction. Data was collected through survey questionnaires with 24 items adopted from the previous studies; six from work-life balance, six from job satisfaction, and twelve from extrinsic motivation. A total of 500 usable samples were collected randomly from small private entrepreneur industries in Bangladesh. Findings: The results showed a significant positive relationship between work-life balance, job satisfaction, and extrinsic motivation of Generation Y. In the case of ascertaining the mediating effect, the extrinsic factors are substantial. However, the proposed strategies on Gen Y’s job satisfaction and the mediating effects of extrinsic motivational factors have not been investigated either in the Bangladeshi context or any other context. Contributions: The findings and recommendations of this manuscript are valuable to the relevant parties, especially the stakeholders in the private sectors. The government, leadership, and management are more likely to understand employees' job satisfaction among Generation Y in this study. The outcomes of the research help to formulate and redesign job satisfaction strategies for organizational productivity and overall success. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying the causal relationships of WLB, extrinsic motivational factors, and employees' job satisfaction among Generation Y.
