    Social networking such as YouTube, Facebook and others are very popular nowadays. The best thing about YouTube is user can subscribe also giving opinion on the comment section. However, this attract the spammer by spamming the comments on that videos. Thus, this study develop a YouTube detection framework by using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN). There are five (5) phases involved in this research such as Data Collection, Pre-processing, Feature Selection, Classification and Detection. The experiments is done by using Weka and RapidMiner. The accuracy result of SVM and KNN by using both machine learning tools show good accuracy result. Others solution to avoid spam attack is trying not to click the link on comments to avoid any problem

    In the past, there has been a preponderance of studies on entrepreneurs or small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia; however, very few studies concentrated on women entrepreneurs. Women entrepreneurs are known to be persistent and resilient in running their business. However, it may be interesting to focus on factors or components that contribute towards their resiliency. Hence, this study explores the critical components of entrepreneurial resiliency which play a significant role in the business survival of women entrepreneurs during and after undergoing economic crises. The term resilience comprises three components, namely hardiness, resourcefulness, and optimism. Hardiness refers to adaptive capacity, and not easily discouraged by failures. Resourcefulness, on the other hand, relates to cash flow, investment, relational networks, material assets, and the ability to adapt to changes, while optimism means the preparedness to make decisions, take action, and the ability to see the humorous side of things. The sample of the study consisted of 100 women entrepreneurs, mainly food operators in Klang Valley who were selected randomly. Most of the women entrepreneurs were aged above 30 years, and more than half have more than 10 years’ experience in running their business. A set of questionnaire with items on entrepreneurial resilience and its components-hardiness, resourcefulness, and optimism-was used to gain information among women entrepreneurs. The findings show that the most critical components for resilience during crises was resourcefulness, while optimism emerged as the most important component after undergoing crises. © Asian Academy of Management and Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2019

    Innovation has long been recognized as an important driver and cultivator for organization growth and production of quality new product and services. There are several innovation measurement models or frameworks that can be used to assess innovation. Innovation value chain is one of the assessment tools that can be used to assess innovation process in a given organization. The innovation value chain assessment finding can be used to help organization identify the weaknesses of the innovation process in the organization. This paper presents the status of innovation value chain in one of Malaysia Public Research Institutes and Government Agencies and proposes guidance on how to improve on the identified weaknesses. A survey questionnaire was sent to 140 staffs in an organization representing one of Malaysia Public Research Institutes and Government Agencies. The finding of the study shows that there existed an innovation culture in the selected organization which promotes innovation within the organization. However, they need to improve on some of areas related the processes along the idea generation, conversion and diffusion phase.

    A strong understanding in elementary mathematics played an important factor in progressing in higher semesters in the learning life of a university engineering student. This paper tries to describe the contribution of an interactive multimedia courseware CD with Collaborative Learning (CDiCL) principles in the learning of algebraic fractions among pre-engineering students in a polytechnic, Malaysia. The research method used was quasi-experimental plus participant observation. Four different groups of students ( n=137) were used. Control, Collaborative Learning only group, CD only group and CDiCL group. Pre and Post Test were used to collect primer data. Quantitative data analysis showed that CDiCL group scored the highest while CL group scored the least. This paper will only focus on the influence of using CDiCL towards this learning through the analysis of the interview protocol and the error exhibited in the answer scripts of an important test within the syllabus of the polytechnic education. Semi-structured interviews and transciption were used to triangulate the quantitative findings from the above Pre and Post Test results
