Public Diplomacy is known as the process to influence foreign audience and transforms the structured message to the audience to create desired perception, believed and behavior. In the digital adrenalized community of today global borderless system, Public Diplomacy is deemed as important skill to be mastered by a nation state that has vision to preserve their super power status or maintaining their state of harmony. This article introduced conceptual model of International Relation (IRCM) and its conceptual expansion (IRCM 2) to provide orbital comprehension of Public Diplomacy to local operators and learners. The aim is to spark critical summarizations and glaring ability to expand skills of Public Diplomacy therefore instigates more detailed creativity from the operators and learners. In summary this article provides conceptual model to show the elements to construct Public Diplomacy and academic learning method to exercise Public Diplomacy. This work is part of the attempt to develop a Public Diplomacy Operational Guidance and to construct an explainable theory for Public Diplomacy study and research.

The objective of the study is to investigate the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) action and strategy used by the top 100 Malaysian Listed Companies followings the 1997 Asian's financial crisis. This research focus on Malaysian companies because Malaysia considered as one of the largest stock market in Southeast Asia countries. These studies utilize company's annual reports as a proxy for their CSR initiatives. As crisis has resulted negative impact to country and society, the result of the study shows that the economic crisis have motivated government and business to joint hand together to mitigate the impacts, as evident since 1920s i.e. after the Stock Market crash in United States and World War II. On the other hand, the crisis has also provide opportunity for the business to redirect away from a threat to an opportunity that differentiate them from the others. Furthermore, the study fairly explains legitimacy theory notions on the managerial actions from the Institutional lens namely "Institutional Legitimacy". Finally, apart from offerings descriptive contribution, our ambition is to assist future research on the post economic crisis particularly after the 2008 global economic crisis. This is because the state social structures, communities and people's ways of life were completely re-shaped after the economic changes.

A category of user interface design patterns offers several design solutions and techniques. To solve one design problem, novice designers may have a difficult time in deciding which design pattern they should use. This study examined user satisfaction toward six user interface design patterns of search box and autocomplete: 1) a simple search box, 2) a search box with a dropdown menu, 3) a search box with two dropdown menus, 4) a search box with autocomplete, 5) a search box with autocomplete and book cover images, and 6) a search box with autocomplete and book rating. An online bookstore prototype with these six design patterns was developed for the study. Participants worked with the prototype and rated their satisfaction on a 7-point scale via an online questionnaire. A repeated measures ANOVA found that the user satisfaction among all six design patterns was statistically different at a significance level of .01. A multiple comparison using a paired sample t-test with Bonferroni correction revealed that the search box with autocomplete and pictures, which received the highest satisfaction score, was statistically different from all three search box without autocomplete at a significance level of 0.003.

Thin film capacitors are very interesting option to electrolytic capacitors, because they are simple, compact in structure and effective for fabrication of high frequency devices. Thin film coating capacitors also improved processing characteristics and better dielectric strength. This paper reports the development of thin film capacitors for DC filtering in AC/DC converter application. The design of thin film capacitor for high frequency AC/DC converter is implemented using simple simulation tools. The primary research hypothesis is that high frequency capacitance with smaller size can be implemented using Physical Vapor Deposition, PVD technique. The thickness of TiO2, area of metal contact and dielectric properties of TiO2 are considered as parameters for thin film capacitors development.

In this research, we investigated the differences in brain activity while the subjects played video game. Experiment was conducted with two screen sizes; a large screen (40-inch display) and a small screen (3.5-inch handheld game). A total of 28 subjects participated in the study where two groups of 14 subjects played video games on two different screen sizes. Prior to video game play, baseline electroencephalogram (EEG) data were recorded during eyes open (EO) resting condition for five minutes. While the subjects played video game, the data were collected using a 19-channel EEG machine. The analysis was made by comparing the EEG results of subjects playing video game with that of baseline data. In order to remove artefacts like eye blinking and eye movements, a pre-processing like filtering was performed to clean the data. The analysis was made by using three measures, i.e., absolute power, coherence and phase lag. The analysis was made on four main frequency bands. It was found that the brain was active in beta band as higher absolute power was observed in occipital, parietal frontal and motor regions while playing video game as compared to baseline condition. Also, the coherence results showed that these regions are well connected. Furthermore, faster communication was observed from phase lag result for these regions.

MicroRNAs are short regulatory RNAs which play a major role in regulating gene expression. In this study, we employed bioinformatics techniques to predict microRNA target sites for interleukin-17 family. We aimed at identifying the pattern of microRNA regulatory mechanism on interleukin-17 family. This study provides insight into the expression pattern of interleukin-17 family in controlling immunopathologic diseases.

Listeria monocytogenes subtyping is important in food processing environment or in epidemiological studies in order to identify the contamination sources and spreading routes, and to investigate the food-borne outbreaks. This study employs the combination of serotyping and random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) analysis methods to characterize the isolated L. monocytogenes strains in food samples from local markets. Listeria antisera kit was used in serotyping which grouped L. monocytogenes isolates based on the expression of somatic and flagellar antigens. The L. monocytogenes serovars were further classified into RAPD types based on polymorphic banding patterns generated by using 10 random RAPD primers. The 23 isolated strains were divided into four different serotypes consisting 4b (43.5%), 1/2b (34.8%), 4d (8.70%) and 4e (4.35%) with two untypable isolates (8.70%). 11 banding patterns were obtained from each selected primer, OPA10 and OPA14 with DNA fragments ranging from approximately 0.15 kb to 1.1 kb. The constructed dendograms showed similarity percentage of 4% to 100% for OPA10, 12% to 100% for OPA14 and 4% to 100% for combination of primers. At a comparative genetic similarity of more than 90%, 21 distinguish RAPD profiles were obtained. The discriminatory of RAPD analysis method was proven as it could distinguish the isolates from the same serovar. However, between the two primers used, OPA14 provide better discriminatory results than OPA10 although it failed to type one isolate. These findings suggest that the application of RAPD analysis could be a useful tool in characterization of L. monocytogenes isolated from foods as it may provide important information on cross-contamination potential sites. Thus, the microbial monitoring should be applied and continuously performed in order to control listeriosis infection. The data may be useful for the food producers or epidemiological and public health studies of Listeria spp.

In this paper, we report the electrical conductivity of nanocomposited MEH-PPV:I-MWNT thin film by varying the composition of Iodine doped multi-walled nanotubes (I-MWNT) in MEH-PPV matrix from 0, 2 and 4 wt%. Electrical conductivity showed increasing in value as the composition of I-MWNT increased from 0, 2 to 4 wt%. The value of conductivity is very outstanding when the polymer was blended with I-MWNT where the value rise from pure MEH-PPV, 81.6 × 10-4 S/m to 67.68 × 104 and 80.28 × 104 S/m for 2 and 4 wt% respectively. The surface morphology was investigated using atomic for microscopy (AFM). Roughness of the thin film showed decrement in value from 5.385 nm, 0.751 nm and 0.643 nm for 0, 2, and 4 wt% respectively. Meanwhile, the absorbance value increase slightly from about 0.16 (0 wt%) to about 0.165 and 0.17 (2 and 4 wt% respectively). The low absorbance shows that low photon is absorbed and therefore, there is no current changes when the sample is illuminated compared to in dark.

Despite the advances in technology and increase of internet usage which provide numerous benefits to mankind, little is known about the problems and related issues such as the ethical issues and behavior of using the internet. Hence, it is crucial for researchers to study on the ethical issues relating to the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). This paper extends prior researches by investigating and exploring the use of ICT and ethical issues in Malaysian primary school. This study relates with four ICT issues proposed by Mason: privacy, accuracy, property and accessibility (known as the PAPA model). In this study, the quantitative methodology has been adopted by distributing questionnaires among students. The results indicated that the students are able to comprehend the ethical issues in the use of ICT.

Ranking of fuzzy numbers is an important procedure for many applications in fuzzy theory, in particular, decision-making. In this paper, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy numbers based on Dice set theoretic index. The Hurwicz criterion which considers all types of decision makers' perspective is employed in aggregating the fuzzy total evidences. The properties of the proposed method are also presented. Five numerical examples are presented to illustrate the advantages of the proposed method. The ranking results show that the proposed method can overcome certain shortcomings that exist in the previous ranking methods.
