With a vast array of options available, making accurate decisions in this dynamic landscape poses challenges. This paper seeks to streamline the selection process and ensure the most suitable match for an institution's particular goals and needs. This research primarily centres on the investigation of free e-learning platforms, chosen for their cost-effectiveness and alignment with the study's specific scope. Hence, this research explores the preferences of Malaysian educators concerning LMS usage, focusing on a specific comparison between Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams. The research employed a quantitative approach, utilising an online survey to collect and record domain comparisons. The results revealed that educators showed a preference for Google Classroom over Microsoft Teams when it came to teaching and facilitation. Several factors contributed to this preference, as evident from the analysis of the collected data, which fell into three main categories: functional suitability, compatibility, and portability. It is hoped that this study will help Malaysian educators to comprehend the suitability of technology for learning and the exchange of knowledge to benefit the students, institutions and the country in general.

This situation significantly influences the general public, especially Malay students, to use machine translation. This is because it is fast, easy, and free to use for meeting their daily life and learning needs. Among the machine translation search engines used are 'Google Translate' and 'Microsoft Bing Translator'. This research corpus focuses on the research aspect of translating noun forms such as relative, demonstrative, superlative, and interrogative found in the text of the book \"al-Azkar\" hadith into the Malay language. The theory of semantic and pragmatic translation introduced by Newmark forms the main basis for the analysis. The research findings show that there are several differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings that can lead to errors in meaning in the translations from 'Microsoft Bing Translator' (MB) compared to 'Google Translate' (TG). Among these are the selection of inappropriate vocabulary equivalents and the addition of auxiliary words in the Malay translations. This demonstrates that there are differences in software data between Google Translate and Microsoft Bing Translator.

 Abstrak: Kemajuan dalam dunia teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi membawa kesan secara langsung dan tidak langsung kepada aktiviti penterjemahan hari ini. Keadaan ini banyak mempengaruhi masyarakat umum khasnya pelajar Melayu untuk menggunakan terjemahan mesin. Ini kerana ianya cepat, mudah dan percuma untuk digunakan dalam memenuhi keperluan hidup dan pembelajaran. Antara enjin carian terjemahan mesin yang digunakan ialah Terjemahan ‘Google’ dan Penterjemah ‘Microsft Bing’. Korpus kajian ini adalah menjurus kepada aspek penelitian keatas penterjemahan bentuk-bentuk kata nama seperti relatif, tunjuk, superlatif dan interogatif yang terdapat dalam teks hadith kitab al-Azkar kedalam bahasa Melayu. Teori terjemahan semantik dan pragmatik yang diperkenalkan oleh Newmark menjadi asas utama penganalisaan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat beberapa perbezaan, kelemahan dan kekurangan yang boleh membawa kepada kesalahan maksud dalam hasil terjemahan ‘Microsoft Bing’ (MB) berbanding Terjemahan ‘Google’ (TG). Antaranya ialah pemilihan sesuatu padanan kosa kata yang tidak tepat serta berlaku penambahan kata bantu dalam hasil terjemahan Melayu. Ini membuktikan ada perbezaan data perisian antara Terjemahan Google berbanding dengan Penterjemah Microsft Bing.

This study examines the effect of microbial art activity on students' understanding and competency of microbiological culturing methods. A qualitative content analysis was employed to evaluate the comprehension of 108 students who participated in the microbial activity, which encompassed the assessment of both their visual creations and written reports. The relationship between students' understanding of bacterial culturing techniques and the quality of their artworks was assessed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The quality of the artwork was classified as poor, moderate, and good, reflecting students' cultivation skills, with 53% at a moderate level, 30% good, and only 17% having poor artwork quality. According to the analysis of the students' written reports, it was found that 71% of the students exhibited a strong understanding of the activity, while 29% showed an average level of understanding. However, there was no correlation found between students' understanding and the quality of their artwork. This study demonstrates that incorporating microbial art into science education can improve student cultivation techniques by providing an engaging and creative way to practice microbiology skills.

By using a qualitative method design that is a historical study through primary document analysis instruments such as newspapers, leader speech texts, and secondary sources, the study finds that the evolution of Malaysia-India bilateral relations is seen in three different phases, namely: the first phase (1957 - 1970) was known as the conflict phase, the second phase (1970 - 2000) can be classified as the recovery phase and the third phase was seen as the development phase (2000– 2010). Malaysia-India relations are not only based on trade and economy, but more on a friendly relationship based on mutual benefits. Although there were political, economic and social that posed a security threat to Malaysia, these issues did not affect the good relationship between the two countries without any armed conflict or prolonged crisis. Therefore, this study concludes that the Malaysia-India bilateral relationship will remain strong and grow in the future with active involvement in various aspects of economic, political, defense and cultural and societal exchange.

Nonetheless, parents face conundrum in controlling or monitoring their children activities on YouTube. This research explores the significant role that Malaysian Muslim mothers play in mediating their children's engagement with YouTube. We aim to gain insights into the mothers' mediation strategies through in-depth interviews with three informants. Using a purposive sampling technique, we selected three Malaysian Muslim mothers of children aged 3-8 years old who actively viewed YouTube. We conducted semi-structured interviews, which allowed the informants to share their strategies, challenges, and perspectives regarding their children's YouTube usage. A thematic analysis based on mediation strategies theories was conducted to extract critical insights, including - 1) rules and guidelines, 2) mothers' roles, and 3) Islamic influences. The findings of this study suggest the used of restrictive and instructive mediation strategies to manage children's media consumption. These strategies aim to strike a balance between allowing children some autonomy in their media choices and ensuring the content aligns with the family's values and educational goals. They actively set time limits, verify the content, recommend Islamic content and explain the significance of good and bad content. Their commitment reflects a dynamic relationship between religious faith and digital parenting practices within the Malaysian Muslim context.

It is also a vital stage of drug treatment, as it can be an indication or evidence of whether the procedures used during treatment are suitable for helping addicts with drug problems. This study focuses on identifying the level of recovery of drug addicts undergoing rehabilitation treatment at CCRC Besut quantitatively based on the built DART instrument. The Drug Addiction Recovery Test (DART) consists of four main components: drug dependency, relapse, drug resiliency, and mental strength. Every component has 20 items, so the total number of items in DART is 80. A total of 123 treated addicts in the Cure and Care Rehabilitation Centre (CCRC) in Besut were chosen as survey respondents. Study data was analysed using descriptive analysis for each component. As for the level of recovery, the study showed that 52% of the respondents were fully discharged from the CCRC, 37% could be released as outpatients, 9% of respondents could not be released and needed to be monitored, and 2% could not be released and needed to be given intensive treatment. The study proves that the instrument can be used to measure the recovery level of addicts treated at the CCRC. Additionally, this instrument would be able to help government institutions, especially the CCRC, treat the drug addiction crisis effectively in the future.

Observation of the characteristics of animals in these classes makes the Iban community more sensitive toward their surroundings. In the Iban idioms, the images of reptiles used are due to the inherent properties of the animals that are equated or reflected in the nature and actions of men in the past. A total of 15 Iban idioms using images of reptiles were generated from Bup Sempama Iban, a book written by Casper Kayong Umping (2011).. The proverbs data were analyzed using the Semantic Inquisitive Approach by applying the Bridging Cross Reference toward the corpus data. Based on the analysis, the proverbs using the images of reptiles show the traits possessed by humans and they are conveyed by the use of proverbs (Sempama Jaku Iban) with implied meanings and subtle language to keep the recipient's heart or listeners. The merging of data, the applied theory, and the culture applied in this study has successfully explained the implicit meaning behind the Iban idioms and the reflection of the minds of the speakers.

 Abstrak: Imej haiwan kelas reptilia sering kali dibahaskan dalam pelbagai bidang seperti sains, pendidikan dan juga penggunaannya dalam peribahasa sama ada peribahasa Melayu dan peribahasa Iban. Pengamatan terhadap sifat-sifat haiwan tersebut menjadikan masyarakat Iban lebih peka terhadap persekitaran mereka. Dalam peribahasa Iban, imej reptilia digunakan adalah disebabkan oleh sifat yang ada pada haiwan tersebut yang disamakan atau direfleksikan kepada sifat dan tindakan manusia pada masa lalu. Sebanyak 15 data peribahasa Iban menggunakan imej reptilia dijana dari buku Bup Sempama Iban yang ditulis oleh Casper Kayong Umping. Data peribahasa dianalisis dengan menggunakan Pendekatan Semantik Inkuisitif dengan mengaplikasikan Rangka Rujuk Silang terhadap data korpus. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan, peribahasa yang menggunakan imej reptilia menunjukkan sifat-sifat yang dimiliki oleh manusia dan ia disampaikan dengan menggunakan peribahasa (sempama jaku Iban) yang mempunyai makna yang tersirat dan bahasa yang halus dengan tujuan menjaga hati penerima atau pendengar. Gabungan data peribahasa, teori yang diaplikasikan dan budaya yang digunakan dalam kajian ini telah berjaya merungkai makna implisit di sebalik sempama jaku Iban dan akal budi penuturnya.
