- PublicationSadness In Human Life: A Study From The Qur'Anic Perspective(2024)Abas, Nur AfifahStruggling to regulate sadness is a major risk factor for developing depression from sadness dysregulation (malfunction). However, depression is potentially prevented with effective cognitive emotion regulation from the normal sadness stage. One of the ways is to educate patients overcoming negative religious coping, e.g., most depressed Muslim patients complained that they believe "being sad is sinful/immoral", which interferes with regulating sadness. Recently, this problem can be overcome by intervening cognitive reappraisal psychospiritually. Therefore, this study aims to propose add-ons to the Metacognitive Training for Depression. It has three main objectives: (1) to counteract the stigmatising misperception (2) to produce simple therapy from the Qur'anic verses (3) to construct cognitive narration about 'Sadness in Human Life' for making sense process. Methodologically, it was applying Qur'anic Reflexive Thematic Analysis, which is a novel analytical procedure using NVivo (a qualitative data analysis software). The research findings are, respectively: (1) Islam recognises the inborn sadness, but it is divided into praiseworthy and blameworthy categories according to the Divine Guidance; (2) a set of Qur'anic self-statements to reappraise cognitively (3) a cognitive narration to make sense about "Sadness in Human Life" narrative. It is a potentially effective content for primary health care professionals to communicate with religious Muslim outpatients/inpatients who complain about sadness regulation difficulty. Ideally, Muslims must be similarly trained from childhood to gradually enhance their resilience against saddening life tests.
- PublicationKesedaran Dalam Kecerdasan Buatan: Kajian Dari Perspektif Ibn Sina(2024-03)Aziz, Muhammad Aslam AbdulMenjelang abad ke-21, selari dengan revolusi perindustrian keempat, kecerdasan buatan atau artificial intelligence (AI) merupakan teknologi dominan dan diketahui umum yang sering digunakan dalam pelbagai sektor seperti sektor perkilangan, elektronik dan kejuruteraan. AI merupakan sebuah teknologi yang berupaya melakukan tugasan manusia tanpa manusia. Contohnya, penciptaan dan penggunaan kereta swapandu. Ramai yang memperoleh manfaat daripada penggunaan teknologi tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat satu permasalahan yang penting untuk dikaji iaitu unsur kesedaran. Hal ini kerana, unsur kesedaran adalah antara unsur dominan yang membezakan AI dengan manusia. Sungguhpun begitu, perbincangan berkaitan unsur kesedaran AI ini banyak dibincangkan oleh sarjana Barat. Namun, perbincangan berkaitan kesedaran AI ini kurang dibincangkan terutamanya dari perspektif falsafah Islam. Maka, berdasarkan permasalahan ini, suatu kajian berkaitannya perlu dilakukan dari sudut kerangka falsafah Islam yang boleh dilihat dari aspek pemikiran tokoh falsafah Islam terpilih. Dalam kajian ini, tumpuan diberikan kepada Ibn Sina. Justeru, kajian ini mempunyai tiga objektif. Pertama, memahami konsep kesedaran menurut Ibn Sina; kedua, mengenal pasti konsep kesedaran dalam kecerdasan buatan; dan ketiga, menganalisis kesedaran dalam kecerdasan buatan dari perspektif Ibn Sina. Kajian ini dilakukan melalui kajian kualitatif dengan memfokuskan kepada data yang diperoleh daripada kajian kepustakaan yang dikelompokkan kepada data primer dan data sekunder.
- PublicationThe Evolution Of Rural Tourism Development A Case Study In Kuala Sepetang Matang Perak(2024-04)Ong Ke ShinTourism is frequently advocated as a socioeconomic development strategy for rural areas. Despite the growing interest in rural tourism, there exists a notable research gap concerning its emergence as a new economic specialization in rural areas, the reasons behind this emergence, and the key actors involved. This study comprehensively aims to understand the emergence and dynamic evolution of a tourist destination over time in a rural context. To achieve this, an analytical framework is constructed, integrating concepts from evolutionary economic geography (EEG) and relational economic geography (REG), encompassing path dependence, lock-in, agency, power, and contextuality. Methodologically, this thesis employs a qualitative, single-case study approach grounded in critical realist philosophy. Using a diverse range of data sources, including observations, semi-structured interviews, and documents, the study employs an inductive-deductive thematic approach for analysis. The investigation of tourism development in Kuala Sepetang and Matang, within the analytical framework, yields several key conclusions. Firstly, tourism in these regions is deeply rooted in pre-existing natural and cultural resources inherited from the local economy's historical trajectory. Numerous contextual factors, including social, economic, and political structures operating at various geographical scales, continually influence its emergence and evolution. Secondly, the evolution of tourism is shaped by the power dynamics and agency of key actors.

In fact, a guiding tool using Oakerson operational rule/institution which is considered as soft constrain for two main reasons: 1) decision making made operative only through human knowledge, choice, and action 2) rules found in decision making exist entirely in ream language (whether written or unwritten). It is these written and unwritten rules that have been applied in describing aflāj historical institutional (which researcher called Islamic equitable principles) and confirms with revealed information found within aflāj communities in Oman. In addition, Islamic equitable principles have been used to avoid confusion with another Islamic term known as uşūl al-fiĝh or jurisprudences.
