Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti sejauh mana media sosial menyampaikan maklumat berkaitan pengurusan pusaka di Malaysia. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif menggunakan pendekatan analisis tema. Sampel kajian ialah „laman‟ Facebook yang mempunyai ramai „likers‟. Terdapat empat tema yang didapati iaitu „maklumat penganjuran aktiviti‟, „maklumat am‟, „pengiklanan perkhidmatan‟ dan „panggilan untuk maklum balas‟. Kajian ini mendapati „laman‟ Facebook yang dibangunkan kurang menekankan maklumat penganjuran aktiviti dan maklumat am berkaitan pengurusan pusaka. „Laman‟ tersebut juga tidak dikongsikan kerap dan jarak antara satu pos dengan satu pos yang lain terlalu jauh. Kajian ini mencadangkan pemilik „laman‟ Facebook tersebut perlu mengemaskini aktiviti mereka dan menggunakan FBads dalam memberikan maklumat berkaitan pengurusan pusaka

Reka bentuk laman media sosial berteraskan dimensi kebolehlihatan untuk usahawan mikro

Social media has become an important marketing phenomenon in the business environment. However, existing guidelines on using social media for business do not focus on the visibility elements. Visibility is a key factor especially for micro entrepreneurs to strengthen their marketing department. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to propose a design guideline for building a marketing social media site based on visibility elements. In order to achieve that goal, research methodology in design science was adopted. The study involved the search for key processes in a guideline development methodology, identification of the visibility dimensions, the measurement of micro entrepreneurs’ perception towards the guideline and performance monitoring. Five main visibility elements were identified and included in the guideline (i) Developing business site, (ii) Shaping community, (iii) Content information management, (iv) Analysing customer behaviour, and (v) Optimizing market opportunity. These five elements are based by media richness, social influence, and new communication paradigm theory. The perception measures of the developed guideline were carried out through 7 different seminar series which were attended by 114 entrepreneurs. The measurement of the guideline was based on three dimensions, which are quality, content and format, and usability. The results show that the developed guideline has quality, good content and format, and high usability level. The hypotheses results show no significant difference between the experienced and inexperienced entrepreneurs when using the guideline. Generally, this guideline is well received by the experts and entrepreneurs that were involved in this study. Apart from that, the monitoring of micro entrepreneur performance show significant increase in postal feedback and sales volume. This directly confirms the guideline, usage module and visibility elements produced are the main contributions of the study

Improvement of Single-Switch Bridgeless PFC Cuk Converter for Circulating Current Elimination and Components Maximum Current Stress Reduction

This paper presents the improvement of a single-switch bridgeless PFC Cuk converter for circulating current elimination and maximum current stress reduction on components. Circulating current is eliminated by rearranging the position of input diodes thus the input diodes can block the returning path of current through the input inductors. The principle of circulating current elimination is also discussed in detail in this paper. A 100 W converter with an output voltage of -48 V has been tested to verify the principle. The results of the experimental hardware show the removal of the circulating current, the maximum current stress in input diodes is reduced from 8 A to 2.8 A and the maximum current stress in input capacitors also reduced from 11 A to 9.8 A

Roles of social media in disseminating inheritance estate management information

This study aims to identify the extent to which social media disseminates information related to inheritance estate management in Malaysia. It is a qualitative study using the thematic analysis. Samples of this research are Facebook ‘Pages’ with ‘likers’. There are four themes; ‘Organized activities’, “General information’, “Advertisement’ and “Call for feedback’. This study discovers that Facebook ‘Pages’ related to inheritance estate management do not emphasize much on organized activities and general information related to inheritance estate management. The ‘Pages’ also do not share information regularly and the time interval between a ‘Post’ to another one is long. This study recommends that owners of Facebook ‘Pages’ should update their information and activities frequently, and employ FB ads to provide information on the inheritance estate management
