Peranan Sains Matematik dalam pembangunan negara
Umumnya, bidang Sains Matematik ini dipandang oleh kebanyakan orang sebagai satu bidang yang agak sukar difahami dan dikuasai. Namun, kepentingannya tidak dapat disangkal khususnya dalam aplikasinya dalam kehidupan seharian daripada semudahmudah Matematik kepada yang terlalu kompleks sehingga memerlukan bantuan teknologi terkini seperti kalkulator mahupun teknologi komputer melalui perisian-perisian yang tertentu untuk menyelesaikan sesuatu masalah

Multi-Approach Formulation in Dynamic Personality-Situation Interaction for Personnel Selection
The purpose of personnel selection is to measure knowledge, skills, and abilities that are necessary to perform a job effectively. The process involves various assessments, including personality assessment. This conceptual paper discussed the potential of using a learning factory to develop multiple simulations for assessment center activities in assessing personality in different situations. Although traditional personality assessment contributes to the effectiveness of selection decisions and prediction, it tended to ignore that trait-related behaviors may differ across situations. Study on dynamic personality is essential as empirical studies showed that within-person fluctuations in personality states relate to a variety of work outcomes, including job performance. To further understand this fundamental issue, this paper discussed further how personality–situation interplay influences performance by using a learning factory assessment center method. This study also discussed how the adaptation of exploratory mixed methods approach could be used. The mixed exploratory methods are suitable as this topic is related to fundamental research and empirical study, besides the investigation on this area is still limited. This paper could benefit other researchers, industry players, and policymakers in understanding better how dynamic personality may influence performance, especially in the activities related to Industry 4.0

Effect of Diet on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Review
Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered as one of the most common diseases. The etiology of T2DM is complex and is associated with irreversible risk factors such as age, genetic, race, and ethnicity and reversible factors such as diet, physical activity and smoking. The objectives of this review are to examine various studies to explore relationship of T2DM with different dietary habits/patterns and practices and its complications. Dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle are the major factors for rapidly rising incidence of DM among developing countries. In type 2 diabetics, recently, elevated HbA1c level has also been considered as one of the leading risk factors for developing microvascular and macrovascular complications. Improvement in the elevated HbA1c level can be achieved through diet management; thus, the patients could be prevented from developing the diabetes complications. Awareness about diabetes complications and consequent improvement in dietary knowledge, attitude, and practices lead to better control of the disease. The stakeholders (health-care providers, health facilities, agencies involved in diabetes care, etc.) should encourage patients to understand the importance of diet which may help in disease management, appropriate self-care and better quality of life
An empirical perspective of national leadership role in achieving world-class university status: the case of Malaysia
National leadership has a great impact on organisations' performance and success. The aims of this study are: (1) to examine the factors that have facilitated the emergence of Malaysian universities on the global stage; (2) to make inquiries into the Malaysian leadership's impact on factors (talent, governance, and resources. Recent studies that have been conducted on world-class universities' status did not include the effect of national leadership as a moderating variable. To carry out this study, a total sample of 126 was achieved from the respondents. The results showed a significant effect of talent, governance, and resources in achieving world-class university status in Malaysia. Second, it indicated that national leadership moderated the connection that existed between the three variables. The implication is that the basis for the successful establishment of any university in developing countries that aspire to attain world-class status is the leadership's role
Information Security Culture Concept towards Information Security Compliance: A Comparison between IT and Non-IT Professionals
This paper examines the factors determining a positive Information Security Culture (ISC) concept and
the influence of ISC towards ISP compliance intention (INT) between IT and non-IT professionals in Malaysian
public universities. Partial least square structural equation modelling, using PLS MGA, is used to assess the
measurement and structural models, and to compare the results between the two groups. Results indicate all factors
have significant contribution towards ISC in both groups, with two out of seven ISC factors have significant
differences. This study has revealed that although both groups have the same ISC factors, IT and non-IT professionals
have significant difference in terms of believe that Top Management Commitment and Information Security
Knowledge are required for implementing a positive ISC. In addition, there is a significant difference between these
two groups in terms of the influence of ISC towards ISP compliance intention. ISC has less influence towards INT
for Non-IT professionals compared to IT professionals within the same ISC. These empirical findings would benefit
in formulating better security strategies by providing appropriate efforts for different groups of employees in the
organizations. This study also provides a total cyber security solution for improving information security culture and
employees’ compliance towards Information Security Policy
Relationship between Internet addictions and academic performance among Afghan universities students
This study evaluates the relationship between Internet addiction and academic performance among students of eight Afghan universities. The differences between internet addiction in terms of gender was also identified. The survey/research method adopted the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) based on Young’s survey applied with some modifications. From 1000 distributed questionnaires only 976 participants (358 females, and 618 males) were responded completely. The descriptive analysis was used to identify the demographic characteristics of student’s Internet usage profile. The independents sample t-test was performed to determine the differences in the level of Internet addiction in terms of gender. Statistical significance was set at a value of p <0.01. Likewise, the correlation test was implemented to identify the relationship between Internet addiction and academic performance, with referencing of sample. The results indicated that statistically there is a significant correlation among Internet addiction and academic performance. Results also indicated that statistically there were significant differences between Internet addictions in terms of demographic characteristics. This study suggests that future researchers need to work on large sample while conducting the related research. It emphasizes that students should concentrate more on their academic activities than spending time on unnecessary Internet surfing. Findings also revealed that, in Afghanistan the problem of Internet addiction is not a serious challenge, but this information should be disseminated among undergraduate university students to stop the indulgent in using the Internet
