SURVEI PERMAINAN ESPORTS TERHADAP PERSEPSI INDIVIDU

Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana survei esports, mengenai dampak esports terhadap persepsi individu para pemainnya, terkhusus pada diri (personallity) yang dimiliki para pemain esports, seperti apa bentuk dan cara kemampuan berkomunikasi dalam esports, serta persepsi risiko diri yang telah diterima para pemain selama bermain esports. Metode penelitian yang digunakan merupakan deskriptif kuantitatif yang bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan suatu apa adanya dengan menggunakan teknik sampling yaitu convenience sampling, dengan sampel merupakan para pemain esports di Kecamatan Karangnunggal, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat dengan jumlah total sampel yang terkumpul sebanyak 131 orang. Dari hasil olah data diperoleh hasil bahwa persepsi diri (personallity) yang dimiliki para pemain esports kebanyakan mereka berjiwa sosial, introvert, memiliki prestasi dalam bidang akademik maupun non akademik, meskipun mereka memiliki emosi yang cukup tinggi. Untuk cara dan bentuk kemampuan berkomunikasi dalam esports lebih mengarah ke arah yang cenderung negatif seperti pengucapan kata – kata kasar atau kotor (toxic chat). Sementara untuk risiko diri yang diterima para pemain esports seperti gangguan fear of missing out (FOMO), esports juga memiliki risiko diri kecanduan bagi para pemainnya, serta untuk kesehatan esports berdampak kualitas tidur pemain, merasa nyeri, kebas, kesemutan pada bagian tubuh tertentu, serta risiko penglihatan yang menjadi kabur atau minus. The purpose of this research is to find out how esports surveys, regarding the impact of esports on the individual perceptions of the players, especially the personality of esports players, what form and method of communication skills in esports, as well as the perception of self-risk that players have received during play esports. The research method used is descriptive quantitative which aims to reveal what it is by using a sampling technique, namely convenience sampling, with the sample being esports players in Karangnunggal District, Tasikmalaya Regency, West Java with a total sample of 131 people collected. From the results of data processing, it was found that the self-perception (personality) of most esports players is that they are social, introverted, have achievements in both academic and non-academic fields, even though they have quite high emotions. The method and form of the ability to communicate in esports tends to be more negative, such as the use of harsh or dirty words (toxic chat). Meanwhile, for the self-risk that esports players accept, such as fear of missing out (FOMO), esports also has a self-addictive risk for the players, and for the health of esports it affects the quality of sleep of players, feeling pain, numbness, tingling in certain body parts, and risk of blurred vision or minus

A Socio-Legal Study on Tourists’ Perception and Opinion towards Immigrant Influx at the Heritage Zone of Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is one of the tourism destinations which offers a balance of historical and modern development. It has become a central meeting place for the immigrants who monopolised the business operation. This study examines and analyses the perception and opinion of tourists visiting Kuala Lumpur towards the immigrants' influx in the heritage zone. The variables are categorised into three; demographic characteristics of the tourists; tourists' perception and opinion towards the immigrant influx; and tourists’ perception and opinion towards heritage conservation and value. The finding helps the stakeholders to formulate a policy in controlling the immigrant influx in Kuala Lumpur. Keywords: tourists; immigrants; heritage zone. eISSN: 2398-4287© 2020. The Authors.

Effects of Strobilanthes crispus juice on wound healing and antioxidant enzymes in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of Strobilanthes crispus Juice (SCJ) on wound healing and antioxidative enzymes activity in normal and streptozotocin-induced rats. A total of 48 male albino Sprague dawley rats, weight 150-200 g were used. The rats were divided into 8 groups with 6 rats in each group. The healing of 2 cm linear incisions created on the back of each rat was monitored by measuring the length of the wounds daily. The result showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in the percentage of wound healing at day 3 and 7 in the treated group especially treated with 140 mg kg-1 b.wt. of S. crispus juice in diabetic and normal rats compared with the control. Strobilanthes crispus juice increased significantly p (<0.05) of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in treated group in diabetic rats. Significant correlation was found between wound healing, GPx and SOD enzymes. In conclusion, S. crispus juice enhanced wound healing in normal and diabetic rats

Challenges Towards Reducing Illegal Dumping Activities in the Construction Industry

Nowadays an increasing number of construction projects in Malaysia have contributed to the production of construction waste which has had a negative impact on the environment, especially through illegal dumping. The increasing number of illegal dumping activities is a sign that construction waste management needs to be examined. To date, a comprehensive criterion for construction waste management, in developing countries is still not clearly defined. Therefore, the objectives of this paper are to investigate current illegal dumping activities, and identify the challenges towards reducing illegal dumping activities in the Malaysian construction industry. Hence, this research conducted interviews with 20 expert stakeholders related to construction waste management in order to scrutinise illegal dumping activities in Malaysia. The data from these semi-structured interviews were analysed by content analysis. The findings are used to determine the current challenges for reducing illegal dumping activities in the Malaysian construction industry. The elements in the current findings are potentially to improve construction waste management in order to archive the proper construction waste management.&nbsp; Finally, this findings will help to identify strategies to reduce illegal dumping activities and to enhance challenges towards reducing illegal dumping activities in the Malaysian construction industry

Anti-gout potential of selected Malaysian local fruits

This study aimed to investigate the in vitro xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activity and phytochemical content of guava, water rose apple, Malay gooseberry, pineapple and ambarella. The xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity was measured spectrophotometrically at 295 nm. The phytochemical analysis tested were total phenolic, total flavonoid and total anthocyanin contents of each methanolic extract of the fruits. The highest amount of phenolic was found in ambarella (0.245 mg GAE/g) while guava had the highest amount of flavonoid (0.472 mg RE/g). Meanwhile, water rose apple had the highest anthocyanin content (5.001 mg c-3-gE/g). For the XO inhibitory activity, water rose apple displayed the lowest IC50 value (26.86 μg/mL), showing better anti-gout activity as compared to that of other fruit samples. Positive correlation between total phenolic content and XO inhibitory activity was also observed in this study. Further study on the isolation of bioactive compounds from the fruit samples that act as XO inhibitor is greatly needed in the future
