Leadership styles influence employee’s turnover intention / Nur Nadia Nattasha Che Ahmad and Nadiah A. Manaf

The main purpose of conducting this study is to investigate either leadership styles influence employee’s turnover intention. KSL Resorts at Johor Bahru has been chosen as the location for pursuing this study. The full range of leadership styles which are transformational, transactional, and laissez faire represented as the independent variable. Meanwhile, the dependent variable for this study is employee’s turnover intention. In order to gather the data, 113 sets of questionnaire have been distributed to the respondents who are being chosen among KSL Resorts’ employees. The data obtained is be analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science Version 21 (SPSSv21). The result is successfully answered the objectives which is all of the three leadership style are positively influence turnover intention. In addition, the most dominant leadership style that influence employee’s turnover intention in KSL Resorts is transformational leadership style

POSITION TRACKING CONTROL OF DC MOTOR FOR FRONT WHEEL SYSTEMS VIA HILS SIMULATION METHOD

This paper present about position tracking control of DC motor to be used as the actuator controller for the front wheel test rig system. The controller strategy that was developed is based on Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. It consists of one single closed control loops namely position tracking control loop.  To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed controller, simulation and experimental studies were performed by using various input demand such as saw tooth, sine and step functions in 5°, 10°, 15° and 20° with the present of steering ratio at 360:20. The results, it is found that the trend between simulation and experimental data are similar with the command position with acceptable level of error which less than 10% for application at hand

Audit fee premiums of big eight firms: Evidence from the market for medium-size U.K. auditees

The modeling of fees within certain audit markets (notably, the United States and Australia) has assisted in understanding the factors that can explain the variability of audit fees. One important influence on fees is said to be the premiums charged by so-called “higher quality” or “first tier” (Big Eight or, more recently. Big Six) auditors. The present study examines this issue in one important, but much under-researched, market, that of the United Kingdom. Specifically, this study examines fee premiums paid (if any) by auditees which are not among the U.K. 's biggest companies but are firms that may be labeled as “medium-size.” Using a matched-pair sampling technique to overcome a potentially serious methodological problem relating to the underrepresentation of non-Big Eight audited companies, this study found no price premium for Big Eight auditors compared to other suppliers in this sector. This suggests an absence of fee premiums for such auditors. Consistent with much previous research, other influences on audit fees (including auditees' size, complexity, and risk) were all found to be significant, with auditor location being a less significant factor

Early Inititation of Breastfeeding and Vitamin a Supplementation with Nutritional Status of Children Aged 6-59 Months

Toddler period, especially the first two years of life is considered as golden age for children because of their rapid growth and development. Therefore, the occurrence of nutritional disorders in the period can be permanent and irreversible. This study tried to assess correlation between early initiation of breastfeeding and vitamin A with nutritional status. The total of samples analyzed in this study was 1,592 toddlers aged 6-59 months that were drawn from 2015 Indonesia Nutritional Status Monitoring Survey in Bengkulu. Data including age, sex, early initiation of breastfeeding, birth length, birth weight, vitamin A supplementation were collected by using questionnaire. Weight and height of children were obtained through anthropometric measurements. More than half of the toddlers (54.6%) did not get early initiation of breastfeeding. Based on multivariate analysis results, most dominant variables related to weight/age, height/age and weight/height indicators were early initiation of breastfeeding and Vitamin A supplementation. Toddlers who did not get early initiation of breastfeeding are at risk of 1.555 times stunting compared to toddlers who got early initiation of breastfeeding. The most dominant variable related to height/age isvitamin A supplementation. Children who do not get vitamin A supplementation are at risk of stunting 2.402 times compared to children who get vitamin A supplementation

Kepelbagaian dan habitat pteridofit di Hutan Simpan Angsi, Negeri Sembilan

Sejumlah 51 takson pteridofit yang tergolong dalam 30 genus dan 18 famili telah direkodkan di Hutan Simpan Angsi, Negeri Sembilan. Ini termasuk lapan spesies lokofit dalam dua genus dan dua famili. Jumlah ini merangkumi lapan peratus daripada 647 spesies yang telah dilaporkan di Semenanjung Malaysia. Famili terbesar yang direkodkan terdiri daripada Selaginellaceae dan Pteridaceae masing-masing dengan tujuh spesies diikuti oleh Polypodiaceae (enam spesies) dan Tectariaceae (empat spesies). Paku-pakis terestrial merupakan yang paling banyak direkodkan iaitu 60% daripada keseluruhan takson yang didapati diikuti dengan paku pakis epifit (24%) dan paku pakis batuan (16%)

International Student Adaptation Factors in Malaysian Public Universities

The research focuses on the internationalization of Malaysia's Higher Education by ensuring that the increasing number of international students will be accommodated fairly. The issues addressed will revolve around the Psychological Factor with the Intercultural Adaptation Model by Kim Young Yun as the foundation. The model was used as the framework to focus on the psychological issue the international students experienced. Twelve international students were selected as respondents from four public universities in Malaysia: UPM, UKM, UM and USM as the main research area. This qualitative research used a semi-structured interview as the main instrument of data collection, online interview using WeBex and Google Meet were used. Respondents were selected using quota sampling with varying characteristics. Results were analysed by using the colour-coding technique assisted by ATLAS.ti. Although it is psychologically challenging, some of it is actually helping as a part of their life circle's support system, namely the presence of supportive classmates and support group

On Body Characterization for On-Body Radio Propagation Channel using Wearable Textile Monopole Antenna

This paper presents the experimental investigation of the characterization of the narrowband on-body radio propagation channel at 2.45 GHz. Wearable planar textile monopole antennas (TM) were used in this measurement campaign. The measurements were conducted in the RFshielded room environment, considering eight on-body radio links. A statistical analysis was conducted on the spectral parameters of the channel to enable the prediction and modeling of dynamic on-body radio propagation characteristics. The empirical data were fitted to several wellknown statistical models to determine the model that provided the best fit for the data. The results showed that the path loss exponent was consistent with the results of previous studies. The results also demonstrated that lognormal distribution was found to be the best fit for path loss in dynamic on-body radio propagation channel
