This paper aims to discuss the beautiful ornament on manuscript illumination in the Malay world. The beauty of the decorative variety in the illumination of the manuscript will be seen through the appreciation of art using the formalistic aspects of art. This study involves the study of literature through a qualitative approach to collect data from previous studies. As a result of analyzing past studies, researchers found similarities and differences in findings. In terms of similarities decorative features in the Malay manuscript illuminations highlighting the use of the gold which refers to the symbol of luxury, class, identity and style. While the similarity in terms of motifs, most use flora motifs (plants) that refer to nature as inspiration. Therefore, in terms of differences, the researchers found various findings of the study, namely the use of motifs other than flora motifs. Among other motives found in the Malay, manuscript illumination is characterized by geometric motifs, structure, symmetry, cosmology, and vegetal. Researchers also argue that the decorative style of the manuscript illumination reflects the expertise and subtlety of the manuscript decorator in revealing the natural beauty of Allah S.W.T. creation. This concept of beauty means inner beauty and external beauty (form and content).

The application of synthetic pesticide contributes to the environmental issues, insect resistance, marketing opportunities and detrimental health effect. The application of biopesticide from neem leaves offers a great potential as biopesticide due to its active ingredient namely azadirachtin. However, the compound is unstable under harsh environment. Encapsulation technique helps to increase the delivery efficiency. The studies focus on the optimization of encapsulation of neem extract which involved three parameters namely concentration of sodium alginate, A (1.5-2.5%), volume of neem extract, B (5-15 ml) and exposure time, C (30-90 min) by using Central Composite Design (CCD). The model was significant with B and C displayed the potent parameters in the releasing neem extract to the surrounding. The optimum conditions were found to be 2.02% of A, 11.88ml of B and 68.35 min of C which released 7.34 % of neem extract to the surrounding. The encapsulation of neem extract showed a good potential to be used in agriculture sector.

The enforcement of Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia due to COVID-19 pandemic has affected the education sector where the teaching and learning process is instructed to practice open and online distance learning (ODL). The purpose of this qualitative case study is to explore the English language lecturers in one Malaysian public university describe their self-efficacy beliefs in ODL practice. Purposive sampling method was used to recruit prospective participants. Semi-structured interviews were used as the primary data collection method. The data gathered were then analysed using thematic data analysis. The results indicate that despite having the compulsory implementation of ODL within a short notice, the participants disclosed that their sense of self-efficacy beliefs varied depending on context-specific nature based on several domains including self-assurance, technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK), teaching preparation, intrinsic motivation and administration support. The present study also reveals that participants utilised emotion-driven self-efficacy beliefs to overcome ODL challenges and eventually developed social-emotional rewards for staying positive in ODL practices. It was also found that self-efficacy beliefs contributed to students’ positive performance, and this has become a factor in heightening participants’ self-efficacy beliefs. The results have provided enlightenment on participants’ self-efficacy beliefs in ODL practices and offer recommendations for improvement in tertiary educational practices to bring positive impacts on teaching and learning.

This paper focuses on the tourist perception of facilities management at the Handicraft Museum Kota Bharu Kelantan. The museum plays a vital role in educating, managing, and identifying the communities cultural heritage because it connects to their collective memories and identities in provoking their sense of attachment and belongingness. Due to limited of scientific information in the related field, this study argues the significance of facilities management in enhancing tourists and communities experience as well as connection with their identities of the past in the handicraft museum in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. This research uses quantitative research methods, which is a survey method on tourist perception. The survey was randomly disseminated through google form to respective visitors who had visited the museum. Results show that most visitors visited the museum once in their lifetime due to the poor facility management due to three categories of facilities management. The paper also suggests few aspects of improvisation in museum management such as to hire more staffs, visible information’s guidelines, sufficient public amenities, visible marketing strategies and promotions. This research also highlights its concern on the existence of an open restaurant in the museum establishments, which affects the structure and facade of the museum in the future. This study contributes to the importance of facilities management in enhancing tourist and communities experience in learning and connecting to their past and identities, which eventually invokes their sense of belongingness and attachment to their cultural heritage.

The synthesis of high quality and large lateral dimension of graphene flakes has been the main interest of researchers. Synthesis methods including chemical vapor deposition, epitaxial growth and micromechanical cleavage guarantees the desired results, but the cost is high. Electrochemical exfoliation, however, is one of the fast and low-cost alternatives in the synthesis of graphene flakes. In this work, the electrochemical exfoliation of graphite utilized four types of electrolytes. The electrochemical cell was designed using copper foils as the cathode whereas graphite pencil rods as the anode which connected to the DC power supply. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that the exfoliated graphene samples contained very low quantity of oxygen functional groups. On the other hand, scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to examine the morphology in which the surface of exfoliated graphene flakes showed wrinkles structure. In addition, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) has confirmed that the exfoliated graphene samples primarily contain carbon, oxygen, and platinum. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that exfoliated graphene samples showed a significant peak at about 2θ =26 ° corresponded to graphite and a low peak at about 10° corresponded to graphene oxide.

Toko Merah is one of the cultural heritage buildings in the old city of Jakarta that has a change of form and function based on the history of different holdings which appeared maintained and preserved. Currently, the building is not fully utilised; only some of the building is rented as a meeting house. The Toko Merah building has different functions based on its history of ownership. The existence of this building which sets in the early history of the establishment of the twin luxury house makes it the icon of the cultural heritage building. It is now called Toko Merah. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive based on the history of the Toko Merah with a phenomenological approach specifically chosen to observe the aesthetic form of space in search of the essential meaning of the Toko Merah building. The results show the phenomenon of the Toko Merah building as a cultural heritage building has an essential aesthetic meaning as a cultural heritage building which needs to be studied and explored more in the narrative of adaptive reuse and should be maintained and preserved so that it can be utilised wherebymeaningful interpretation and usage can be materialised. It will eventually be celebrated as a heritage building which preserves that memory of the past.

Batik is an art or craft that is produced through a variety of textile designing techniques. In Malaysia, batik is considered as a national heritage art that is the pride of the country. The World-Asia Pacific Craft Council recognizes Malaysian batik as one of the most well-known local crafts globally. This study aims to examine the challenges faced by the batik industry in Malaysia. The literature review method is fully utilized to collect the required data. The results of the study found that the Batik Industry in Malaysia faces the challenge of competition from cheaper and modern external products and even more worrying is the original batik design imitated by irresponsible foreign entrepreneurs by offering lower prices. The lack of skilled workers from young people should also be taken into consideration when many young people voices that they are not interested in working in this industry. A more detailed research study proposal is needed by paying attention to the role of entrepreneurs and designers in the batik industry in Malaysia. They are the leading movers in addressing the challenges and problems that exist in this industry in line with efforts to develop the local batik industry and elevate the art of batik in Malaysia.
