Preliminary Study: Analysis of the Need for Physics E-Modules as Guided Inquiry-Based Teaching Materials at MAN 1 Mandailing Natal

This research was carried out to develop a learning resource type of learning media in the form of guided inquiry-based teaching materials. So, preliminary study research is needed which consists of literature study and field study. The type of research carried out was qualitative descriptive research. The data collection instruments for this research are interview sheets, teacher needs analysis questionnaires, and student needs analysis questionnaires. The teaching materials developed are in the form of (e-modules) electronic modules that can contain text, images and learning videos, as an independent learning effort that is arranged systematically. To create an e-module using the Canva application. A needs analysis is carried out to determine the learning resources used by teachers, obstacles when learning takes place, and the learning resources needed by students. The results of the analysis of teacher needs show that religious analysis is 83% in the good category, attitude analysis is 94% in the very good category, knowledge analysis is 65% in the sufficient category, performance analysis is 83% in the good category, analysis of learning difficulties is 58% in the poor category, material analysis teaching 50% in the poor category and model analysis 67% in the sufficient category.

Media and the environment in Malaysia: an analysis on news coverage of landslide disaster in Kuala Lumpur

Studies done on media reporting and the environment, particularly on natural disasters area less researched topic in Malaysia. This paper examines the representation of disaster news and analyses on how disaster news reports are being covered in local newspapers by taking a landslide case occurred at Taman Puncak Setiawangsa, Kuala Lumpur in December, 2012. The samples were taken from two local mainstream newspapers as a comparative study. Utusan Malaysia, being the major Malay newspapers in the country targets Malay readers, while The Star, an English-language daily, targets multi-ethnic and middle-class income readers. This study used quantitative and qualitative content analysis in identifying patterns of coverage by both newspapers. The analysis revealed that despite having their own principles, guidelines and ideologies; this study concludes that both newspapers have a lot of similarities in their reporting on this particular disaster. The main similarity is local environmental news is still predominantly presented as straight news

Aset kampus sebagai tarikan edupelancongan UKM Kampus Bangi

Edupelancongan yang menitikberatkan pembangunan aset sedia ada di kawasan kampus merupakan usaha yang harus dipentingkatkan terutamanya apabila Kementerian Pelancongan dan Kebudayaan Malaysia telah melancarkan Edutourism Pakej 101 pada Ogos 2015. Kampus UKM Bangi juga sedang merancang untuk melancarkan edupelancongan dalam kampus dengan menggunakan aset sedia ada sebagai tarikan pelancongan kepada pengunjung luar. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji sejauh mana aset kampus mampu dijadikan sebagai salah satu tarikan edupelancongan di kampus UKM Bangi. Kajian ini menggunakan data sekunder dan data primer daripada soal selidik yang dijalankan dalam kalangan komuniti staf dan komuniti pelajar. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa komuniti staf dan pelajar bersepakat dalam mengenal tempat-tempat di UKM yang berpotensi dijadikan edupelancongan, dengan min purata paling tinggi iaitu 4.20 dan 4.04 masing-masingnya.

A new approach in protein folding studies revealed the potential site for nucleation center

A new approach to predict the 3D structures of proteins by combining the knowledge-based method and Molecular Dynamics Simulation is presented on the chicken villin headpiece subdomain (HP-36). Comparative modeling is employed as the knowledge-based method to predict the core region (Ala9-Asn28) of the protein while the remaining residues are built as extended regions (Met1-Lys8; Leu29-Phe36) which then further refined using Molecular Dynamics Simulation for 120 ns. Since the core region is built based on a high sequence identity to the template (65%) resulting in RMSD of 1.39 Å from the native, it is believed that this well-developed core region can act as a 'nucleation center' for subsequent rapid downhill folding. Results also demonstrate that the formation of the non-native contact which tends to hamper folding rate can be avoided. The best 3D model that exhibits most of the native characteristics is identified using clustering method which then further ranked based on the conformational free energies. It is found that the backbone RMSD of the best model compared to the NMR-MDavg is 1.01 Å and 3.53 Å, for the core region and the complete protein, respectively. In addition to this, the conformational free energy of the best model is lower by 5.85 kcal/mol as compared to the NMR-MDavg. This structure prediction protocol is shown to be effective in predicting the 3D structure of small globular protein with a considerable accuracy in much shorter time compared to the conventional Molecular Dynamics simulation alone

Karakteristik pelancong belia terhadap pelancongan acara tahun melawat Malaysia

Pelancongan acara merupakan pendekatan yang lebih bersepadu dalam perancangan dan pelaksanaan bagi memastikan pembangunan pelancongan semakin mampan. Dengan adanya penekanan tersebut, ia dapat mengekalkan dan meningkatkan aset pelancongan di samping menggalakkan segmen pelancongan acara terutamanya dalam kalangan pelancong belia. Kajian memfokuskan pola pelancongan acara dalam kalangan pelancong belia yang membawa kepada kesedaran dan dorongan dalam kalangan pelancong belia dalam penglibatan aktiviti pelancongan berbentuk acara. Data untuk kajian ini dikumpulkan melalui edaran borang kaji selidik di UKM, Putrajaya dan MAEPS, Serdang. Hasil kajian menunjukkan pola pelancongan belia lebih teratur, mempunyai segmen, tersusun dan sistematik serta mempunyai perancangan dan perlaksanaan yang telus.
