Adapting hybrid approaches for electronic medical record management and sharing using blockchain sharding

In the past few years, it is noticed that management and sharing medical records is a key step towards increasing healthcare provider connectivity and making the healthcare system more efficient. The scalability and sustainability issues confer to mismanagement of patient is record and also raised several issues in privacy and security. The study aims to suggest more efficient alternatives for Electronic Healthcare System. Scalability and privacy are the major limitations that existing systems contain so the goal of this study is to define alternatives about how parameters like scalability, usability and data protection could be achieved in an efficient manner for healthcare system. In the healthcare industry, providing accurate, thorough, and up-to-date information on patients is critical. Another feature that allows researchers to consider efficient EHR systems is rapid access to patient records for boosting efficiency and coordination. Blockchain sharding technique is utilized along with hyper-ledger protocols and Proof-of-Authority to carry out our model implementation

Usability evaluation via accessibility design / Siti Norsazlina Haron ... [et al.]

This paper provides strategies in evaluating usability via accessibility from the user experience of three replacement hospitals. The methodology refers to a five-stage evaluation process and using the “walk-through journey experience” among patient and visitors. The data analysis was based on thematic analysis principles using NVivo9. The accessibility design issues due to participant disabilities and expectation will build up for usability parameters. The findings indicate that the quality design is the positive user experience feedback on the usability of the physical design environment that fulfils their expectations and the concept of usability and accessibility is to support the user-friendly environment design

Penemuan oleh kajian lepas juga menunjukkan bahawa tekanan dan komitmen belajar adalah faktor penting dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Khususnya, kajian ini menyelidik peranan pembelajaran-e terhadap tekanan belajar dan juga hubungan di antara tekanan dan komitment belajar. Data kajian dikutip dari pelajar prasiswazah dalam bidang Sains Sosial di Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Kaedah analisis regresi pelbagai telah digunakan untuk menguji hipotesis kajian. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahawa pembelajaran-e mempengaruhi tekanan belajar dan komitmen belajar secara positif dan signifikan. Sebagai tambahan, tekanan belajar juga mempengaruhi komitmen belajar dengan positif dan signifikan. Di akhir kertas ini terdapat bahagian perbincangan dan kesimpulan kajian

The effectiveness of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) on students’ motivation and attitude

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) was developed at the University of California at Santa Cruz in the 1970's by its founders and principal authors, Richard Bandler and John Grinder, a professor of linguistics (Tosey & Mathison, 2003). Richard Bandler was a mathematics and computer science students while John Grinder is a linguistics professor. NLP helps in the teaching and learning process, especially in the classroom management. NLP was first introduced in Malaysia in the 21st century and since there are many training centres such as Akademi NLP Malaysia which train Malaysian universities and polytechnic lecturers and NLP Malaysia Centre of Excellence (NLPMC) which was the first to train NLP in Malay language

Mould prevention strategies for library buildings in tropical climate / Suriani Ngah Abdul Wahab and Md Yusof Hamid

This paper presents mould prevention strategies that should be applied in the library buildings. Library constructed in tropical climatic conditions must be moisture controlled from fungi or mould growth on any potential material. In order to identify the magnitude and the causes for mould growth, comprehensive research was carried out within three libraries in Malaysia universities. Aspergillus, Penicillium, Stachybotrys's and fungal had been identified as a common mould growth found. Thus, the growth of mould on the building elements such as walls and floors carpets, books, air conditioning parts of the surrounding library areas will be inevitable unless prevention strategies applied. Four strategies have been identified as possible mould prevention strategies in the library buildin

A case study of corporate social responsibility by Malaysian government link company

The objective of the study is to investigate the CSR practice by the one of the Malaysian Government Link Company via case study approach.As a GLC's the business has to balance its profit with social responsibility to the state and society.According to the literature in modern era of CSR, the business social responsibility starts when the business determines their act in economic and social obligation.The result of the study shows that the business CSR initiative has changed from altruistic to its core competency.Furthermore, its revise CSR agenda has contributed to the state socio-economic development as suggested by the Father of Social Responsibility on the business social obligation postulate

Radiation effects on Marangoni convection over a flat surface with suction and injection

The radiation effect on a steady two-dimensional Marangoni convection flow over a permeable flat surface is studied numerically. The general governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of two nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using unique similarity transformation. Numerical solutions of the similarity equations are obtained using the shooting method. Numerical results are obtained for the interface velocity and the surface temperature gradient as well as the velocity and temperature profiles for some values of the governing parameters. The results indicate that the heat transfer rate at the surface decreases as the radiation parameter increases. The effects of suction or injection parameter on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed

Logistics and supply chain management: the importance of integration for business processes / Izwan Azmi … [et al.]

This conceptual paper outlines the importance of integration in supply chain management (SCM) by linking the functions of logistics as it applies in strategic business process. Often, business processes are developed at the strategic level but are never identified precisely in logistics or in SCM. Strategic business processes like Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), Customer Service Management (CSM) and Demand Management are not directly linked to logistics or SCM. This paper identifies the literature that expressed the importance of integration and how business processes can be relevant in the execution of key logistics activities in the supply chain context

Student-Teachers’ Perception of the Preparedness to Engage in Online Teaching, and Challenges They Face When Teaching Online: A Corpus Analysis of Their Reflexive Journal Entries

The Covid19 pandemic changed the way almost everything is done, including teaching. Online teaching rose to become the quintessential way mode of teaching in weeks after being in relative obscurity the two decades of its existence. Online teaching is now prominent, but research shows that we are still lacking knowledge in almost every human aspect involved in online teaching. This study focusses on student-teachers’ perceptions of their own preparedness to teach online and the challenges they face when teaching online. This is done by looking into the primary keywords or concepts the student-teachers use in their own writing. Language is our ubiquitous tool by which we look into the minds of fellow human beings. Accordingly, this study looks at a body of language (corpus) compiled from the reflective journals produced by 23 student-teachers as part of their final assessment portfolio (+700 pages, +800,000 words). These journals embody their thoughts during their practical teaching experience. The analysis is carried out using a concordancer program. By analysing this corpus, we will, (1) identify the most prominently occurring content words, and (2) the most prominently occurring words relative to the prominent keywords. The resulting semantic web will display the concepts the preoccupy the concerns of these respondents thus giving us an insight into possible areas that we need to focus on in our efforts to remedy and enhance our online teaching capabilities. Initial findings show that the most prominent word in their writing ‘students’ with technical and technology concerns falling far behind
