Amalan hijau dalam kalangan usahawan wanita: kajian kes di Negeri Kedah Darul Aman

In stabilising global warming, greenhouse gas emission needs to be reduced by 50% upon the year 2100. The Women and Environment sector through the Women Development Action Plan in the National Women Policy has been given attention to sustain the growth of green practices in the industry including Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). Kedah Darul Aman is the eighth largest state with SME distribution in Malaysia with 11, 832 (24.2%) owned by women. Previous study revealed that 67.2% of housewives in the state of Kedah Darul Aman are prone to environmental welfare and have the potential to implement green practices. Does this imply 24.2% of these women entrepreneurs? The exploration is important, but the number of women practicing it in the business is still unknown. The objectives of this study are to explore the level of green practice; to identify factors that influence entrepreneurs in practicing or not; and further suggest guidelines on how the government can promote green practices. The exploratory case study is conducted in a semi-structured interview of five women entrepreneurs based on the purposive sampling method. The data was analyzed using the content analysis method through the analytic category development tool and category analysis review. The findings of the study found that the applicability of green practice of respondents is closely related to the type of business, the popularity and acceptance. The respondents were found to be incapable of taking additional initiatives to implement green practices that were not business-related or difficult to implement. Women entrepreneurs practice green by expecting returns to themselves (cost or income) and others (environmental or welfare). However, they do not practice green due to entrepreneurial capacity (knowledge, awareness and time) and external factors (support system). Therefore, the guidelines needed should focus on the spreading of awareness, enforcement by the government, early exposure practices, effective communication and incentives to practitioners

A model of knowledge mapping in visualizing the hotspot of dengue

Formulation process is very important in model development. Due to that, this study was performed as a formulation process for the K-Map model development in order to visualize the dengue hotspot. Purpose of this study is to find the appropriate technique on knowledge visualization and also to identify the contributing parameters for the dengue outbreak. Methodology that has been used is by analysing the literature review from empirical paper. Result from this study shows that Venn diagram is one of the technique that can be used to visualize the dengue hotspot while the environmental parameter is one of the contributing factors in dengue transmission and distribution. Ten environmental parameters that are land use, housing types, Land Surface Temperature, Elevation, Soil Moisture, Greenness, Population Density, rainfall, temperature and humidity have been identified. As a conclusion, climate change impact is one of the environmental parameter, which influences the trend of dengue transmission and distribution. The impact of climate change on the transmission patterns of dengue diseases can be both direct and indirect. A direct impact describes how the changes in precipitation and temperature trend can influence the trend of the dengue transmission and distribution pattern. Instead indirect impact describe how the factors such as human population dynamics and their effects on exposure risk, changes in vegetation, hydrology and other landscape features can influence the trend of dengue transmission and distribution pattern

Dietary supplements consumption among youths in Seremban / Nor Azira Md Radzi, Norazila Abdul Aziz and Nur Farah Azren Mohd Nazeri

Good nutrition is one of the keys to a healthy life. Currently, many people consume dietary supplements to get their recommended intake of nutrient deficiency. However, the information on their use by sub-population such as youth is scarce. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of dietary supplements among youths in Seremban, to determine the association of supplements intake status with socio¬ demographic factors and to segment the dietary supplement users based on education level, gender, amount spend for dietary supplements and age. Data were collected from 300 youths in Seremban using administered questionnaires distributed at several shopping malls in Seremban. The prevalence of dietary supplement in this study found that dietary supplements users are "9.7% (119 respondents), the main reasons for consuming supplements are 'maintenance of health' (77.3%), followed by 'enhances energy' (38. 7%). A chi-square test of independence showed that there was an association between supplements intake status with gender, age category, race and monthly income with p-value < .05. Two-step clusters analysis reveals that there are three clusters of users, segmented based on gender, the consumption of dietary supplement , duration taking supplements and, age. Cluster with highest respondent represents female, the consumption of dietary supplements about 1-6 month , duration taking supplements about daily and mean age of 23.76. Results acquired have shown some understanding of the insight regarding dietary supplements usage among youth in Seremban

A Sensitivity Analysis for Roles Selection in Hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision Making

The process of retaining leadership succession at higher education institutions (HEI) is crucial since it has entailed the process of selecting the ideal candidate. The goal is to guide universities toward maintaining organizations' excellence in their academic leadership and management (ALM) positions. Due to the lack of established standards for assessing the competency of possible successors at their home institutions, many ALM of Malaysia HEIs is difficult to identify the proper replacement for their posts. This study aims to propose a multi-criteria tacit knowledge acquisition framework (MC-TKAF) for supporting talent development intervention programs in Malaysia HEIs. It will be based on cognitive apprenticeship, socialization, and informal learning theory which is mostly used in acquiring knowledge from expertise to overcome talent bottlenecks among novices. Fuzzy Delphi will be used as the primary methodology in this study to gather agreement regarding the appropriate indicator to measure tacit knowledge competency among ALMs at Malaysian HEIs. There are three phases: Phase 1 involves analysing the current tacit knowledge acquisition (TKA) and identifying the appropriate parameters to build the intended framework. Phase 2 involves using the results of Phase 1 to create a new framework of tacit knowledge acquisition (TKAF) that is appropriate for the HEI environment. Phase 3's final objective is to assess the viability of the Talent Development Intervention Program's (TDIP) Tacit Knowledge Acquisition Framework (TKAF) utilizing the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach. This paper's goal is to offer the hybrid MCDM approach as a talent performance indicator for the multi-criteria tacit acquisition framework. The final Phase 3 of the study design will essentially be the subject of this paper. The built-in indicators in this document may be utilized as a guide for the HEI sectors to create talent performance metrics that are appropriate for each TKA applied
