Pengaruh Agen Sosialisasi Politik Terhadap Mahasiswa Dan Politik Kampus Di Malaysia
(2024-09)
Sabri, Muhammad Amir Asyraf Mohd
Kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk menentukan pengaruh agen sosialisasi politik terhadap mahasiswa dan politik kampus di Universiti Awam dalam Malaysia. Agen sosialisasi politik merujuk kepada kelompok yang berpotensi untuk memupuk nilai dan tingkah laku politik terhadap golongan sasaran. Kajian ini telah dijalankan dengan menggunakan kaedah tinjauan melalui kaedah penyelidikan kuantitatif dan melalui agihan borang soal selidik. Sampel kajian melibatkan seramai 250 orang mahasiswa dari lima buah Universiti Awam iaitu, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM), Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) dan Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). Kaedah pensampelan pula menggunakan teknik pensampelan berstrata dan dianalisis melalui deskriptif dan kolerasi. Kajian mendapati bahawa agen sosialisasi politik yang paling dominan dalam mempengaruhi mahasiswa adalah media massa berbanding keluarga, rakan sebaya, parti politik dan institusi pendidikan. Selain itu, terdapat dua cabaran politik nasional yang turut memberi impak pada politik kampus iaitu penglibatan mahasiswa dalam politik nasional dan polarisasi politik. Namun demikian, tahap penglibatan mahasiswa dalam politik kampus masih berada pada tahap yang sederhana. Rangkuman keseluruhanya mendapati penglibatan mahasiswa dalam proses sosialisasi politik pada tahap yang tinggi cenderung untuk terlibat secara aktif dalam bidang politik berbanding mahasiswa lain yang hanya mengalami proses sosialisasi politik pada tahap yang rendah.
Synthesis, Characterization And Theoretical Studies Of Chalcone And Ethynylated Schiff-base Derivatives For Potential Light Emitting Applications
(2024-09)
Zaini, Muhamad Fikri
The photophysical and electrochemical characteristics of organic materials are being studied actively to enhance charge transport for high-performance OLEDs. Inspired by highly π-conjugated organic materials, two series of new compounds featuring of donor-pi-acceptor (D-π-A) configuration namely chalcone derivatives (1-6) and ethynylated Schiff-base derivatives (7-12) compounds were succesfully designed and synthesized using Claisen-Schmidt condensation and Schiff-base condensation methods, respectively. The crystal structures of all compounds were solved and refined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations confirmed the optimized molecular geometries are comparable to the experimental results. The crystal packing diagrams of all compounds revealed intermolecular interactions including C—H···O, N—H···N, C—H···π and π···π interactions, which contribute to charge transfer and structural stability. The functional groups and molecule’s chemical structure of all compounds were quantitatively identified by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analyses, respectively. The UV-Vis spectra revealed that all compounds exhibit maximum absorption wavelengths within the semiconductor range, with values between 2.52 and 2.94 eV for compounds (1-6) and 2.73 to 2.85 eV for compounds (7-12).
Grameen Microfinance And Sustainable Empowerment: A Study Of Farmerettes In Jobra Village, Bangladesh
(2024-03)
Saima, Sorna Umme
In the rural setting of Jobra village in Bangladesh, female farmers rely on microfinancing loans from Grameen Bank, and face challenges in achieving sustainability, hindering their empowerment efforts. Therefore, this study aims to identify the sustainability issues farmerettes are facing in Jobra villages, Bangladesh, from Grameen Bank microfinancing loans; and analyse the effect of Grameen Bank’s loan on sustainable empowerment of farmerettes in Jobra Village. The study involves 14 farmerettes and two community leaders as respondents. Primary data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using ATLAS.ti software. To examine the issues and effects of Grameen's sustainable empowerment, the study adopts the Capability Approach framework, which centres on the dimensions of Agency, Resources, and Achievements within Collective Empowerment. The findings of the study reveal a significant reliance on Grameen loans, coupled with inadequate bank supervision and training, a cascading impact of mission drift on borrowers, and a tendency towards loan misuse. Consequently, the identified issues lead to economic, social, political, and psychological disempowerment effects among farmerettes, underscoring the need for a holistic microfinance approach addressing multidimensional empowerment for sustainable development. The study concludes by recommending future research to develop and implement strategies for a comprehensive microfinance model, emphasizing that such efforts can contribute to a holistic approach and foster sustainable empowerment for farmerettes in rural Bangladesh.
Environmental And Social Factors Influencing Elderly’S Subjective Well-Being: Living Arrangement As Moderator
(2024-03)
Nainee, Sarvarubini
The overall population of the elderly is growing worldwide, leading to a silver tsunami whereby the elderly population outweighs the young population. It is not only important to study longevity but also on how people flourish with higher subjective well-being in their later years. This research examines the extent of how physical environmental factors (connectedness to nature and perceived greenness) and social factors (perceived filial piety, perceived social support and generativity) relates to the Malaysian elderly’s subjective well-being. This study also looks at the moderating effect of living arrangements on the relationship between these environmental and social factors and subjective well-being. Participants in this study were 441 elderly living in Ipoh with good cognitive ability and no serious illness. Prescreening procedures were conducted with Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire to test participants’ mental and cognitive abilities. This study employed a cross-sectional design and a quantitative approach. Data were collected using seven validated self-report questionnaires namely Perceived Greenness Scale, Nature Relatedness Scale, Perceived Filial Piety, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support,
Satisfaction And Commitment In Dating Relationship Among College Students In Pulau Pinang
(2049-08)
Shin, Yong Ken
Dating relationship is an important topic in relationship research and had been widely studied in Western context. This study focuses on dating relationship in Malaysia. Personal reasons for dating, factors associated with dating, relationship satisfaction and commitment were examined among 106 college students who were in a dating relationship at the time of the data collection. This study aimed to identify the reasons and factors for dating among college students in Malaysia and to examine how the reasons and factors predict relationship satisfaction and commitment.
