CULTURE OF SABAH TOWARDS INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS’ GENDER AND NATIONALISM IN UMS: CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE

Cross-cultural communication has a significant impact on international students in Malaysia culture regarding their gender and nationalism. Due to the lack of information and research, as well as no initiation to find out the ways to resolve the issue, the international students are concerned regarding their gender and nationalism in a host country perspective. We used appropriate literature in the fields of global teaching acculturation and adaptation of overseas students; and discrimination research and their backgrounds to discuss how global students recognize and articulate their domestic and gender identity in UMS, Sabah, Malaysia. For global students, a qualitative technique refers to say their tales overseas and describe the variables influencing the development of domestic and gender identity. A total number of participants are forty-three, who study in different faculties and institutions in UMS. In findings, it categorizes in three broad factors and those are (1) negotiations of national identity, (2) femaleness and nationhood, and lastly (3) gender negotiation: maleness and nation. Overall, this research shows how learning about who you are and who you aim to become involves the daily lives of studying in UMS. University educators and staff need to investigate and alter strategies in respects that foster understanding of how multidimensional identities can be, but also show how cultural obstacles can generate hierarchies that perpetuate inequalities

Mapping Data Mining Technique and Gamification Approach for Studying PostStroke Rehabilitation Training: A systematic literature review

Data mining has been widely used in healthcare to provide treatment and care recommendations based on a collective prediction of individual conditions. For rehabilitation, various data mining techniques have been applied to predict and recommend suitable recovery paths and training. Also, the gamification concept was applied to rehabilitation training to motivate the patient to follow the training until the end. Researchers have conducted considerable research to investigate the validity and effectiveness of those techniques on massive patient data on specific conditions and treatment contexts. However, it is still unclear how to effectively offer customized rehabilitation training to stroke patients using gamification and data mining approaches. Thus, to understand how researchers studied them, we examined 34 peer-reviewed articles published in computer science and medical proceedings and journals between 2012 and 2022. We systematically reviewed the data mining and gamification techniques researchers had applied for post-stroke rehabilitation and related prediction models resulting from the data mining processes. As a result of the analyses, three significant contributions are identified. This article 1) identifies trends in data mining and gamification used in personalized post-stroke rehabilitation training; 2) maps trends in the study of data mining and gamification in post-stroke rehabilitation; and 3) identifies underexplored studiesfor future work. There is a definite need to continue developing and researching intervention strategies related to rehabilitation to address recovery problems by providing accuracy and protection of healthcare, as well as incorporating components that promote patients' motivation and engagement

The commercialisation of computing artefacts and technological entrepreneurship in university incubation program

There is a general agreement in terms of the execution processes to support inventions of prototypes and products which begins from prototyping to the actual market. However, the mechanism and process to translate the academics research from university to the industry are questionable since the success of commercialisation of computing research artefacts is disputed. This article attempts to investigate the commercialization mechanism and processes for these artefacts from universities. The investigation is carried out in selected university incubations as a case study research. Resource-based and capability perspective are adapted to investigate the selected cases in the university technology commercialization initiatives. The outcomes of this article are expected to offer a commercialisation model of computing artefacts among academics

Developing covid-19 web and mobile web situation reporting applications for the state health authority

If Malaysia ends up entering the subsequent COVID-19 outbreak, many hospitals will no longer support the victims conveniently. There will be numerous victims around, and these hospitals will not have enough human resources. Exceptional ICT-based communication backbone should also be in place to fully recommend these hospitals day-to-day operations. For this reason, COVID-19 situational reporting web and mobile web applications were developed to assist the health professionals in the State of Sabah in doing their job with a high level of assurance. Several real-time technologies were put together as the foundation in developing these applications. This work-in-progress paper presents the design and development techniques employed in rapidly developing the COVID-19 situational reporting web and mobile web applications for State Health Authority of Sabah

The process of validating public information systems framework

This paper presents the process of creating and validating public sector information systems (PSIS) development framework. Three development methodologies were put together to increase the validity of the proposed framework, i.e., 1) methodologies for data gathering, 2) procedures for framework development and 3) methodologies for validating the framework created. Exploratory investigations with UK local councils were organised, reflecting several approaches to PSIS development. Based on the findings, a PSIS development framework is presented

Dissecting user requirements in developing information systems for the government agencies in less-developed regions

Deciding on the need requirements of the users is one of the most challenging, and yet essential parts of the development of an information system (IS), particularly in the government agencies. Despite the rising significance of IS in the government agencies, only a limited effort has been made to identify the consequence of user needs, particularly less-developed regions. Most research efforts are found in developed or developing nations. This article presents the initial findings of an IS user needs of a leading government agency in the State of Sabah, Borneo

Retail data warehousing notable development process determinants

For close to 25 years, the retailing industry has devoted a great deal of effort investigating the subject of how adequately to develop Retailing Data Warehousing Systems (RDWS) in their organisations. The advantages are attained when satisfactory capabilities are made within their organisations. Reviews of RDWS research have disclosed that there are enormous amounts of determinants available in the literature; however, the retailers accountable for those drives cannot suppose that the primary development forces of the system in developed nations are opulent in their regions. In response to these lapses, this study aims to assess the favourable and unfavourable effects impacting the development leadership in developing regions. Five stages of RDWS development timeframe were utilised to answer the proposed research questions, “How do these retailers go about developing the warehousing system in their company?” The sampling method employed in choosing the subjects was based on purposive sampling procedure, and the theoretical framework explained here meets the principles of functional ability submitted by previous researchers

The present state of system analysis and design in East Malaysia

Many government agencies everywhere in the globe, including those in the developing regions, are intimately involved in developing their Information Systems (IS) projects. To favourably develop these IS projects, those agencies have spent lots of funding, forces and time to assure that they are amply equipped with the latest system design and analysis methods. However, the literature is scarce with the published evidence showing that these government agencies are claiming that they have successfully used these cultivated analysis and design techniques. The intricate system analysis and design techniques may only remain theoretical with limited use. Many of these system analysis and design techniques had never succeeded the claimed benefits made when they were acquired, which begs the principal research question of what is the present deployment state of system analysis and design in these government institutions, particularly in the developing regions? The article thus discusses the exploratory case studies on the present state of system analysis and design methods deployed by the public institutions in East Malaysia, a developing region within South-East Asia

Developing the Earthquake Early Warning and Evacuation Systems (EEWES) for Schools in Ranau District

This article presents the main development components Early Earthquake Warning and Evacuation System (EEWES) for the Ranau District of Sabah. Many early earthquake warning systems have been developed since the last major earthquake in Ranau in 2015, but none has appropriately investigated the school children evacuation processes/exercises. The system was developed not just to expedite the evacuation process at these schools but also to help evacuate the school children and to get in touch with the children's parents who are outstation. Those parents will be updated on the evacuation initiative that is taking place on a real-time basis. The system may also transfer the evacuation details to the local and federal emergency services and other agencies concerned with the evacuation exercises. The system mainly utilised the APIs released by regional disaster centres, which may deliver speedy transmission alerts. The future research direction is to incorporate the local tremor sensor details into the syste
