    Kajian Demonisasi Pemimpin Wanita: Kes Maharani Cixi (1861-1908)
    (2023-05)
    Yaacob, Muhamad Daniel Ibrahim
    Permasalahan timbul apabila ada naratif akademik yang berhujah kontra melihat kepimpinannya dari sisi berbeza dan ini mewujudkan persoalan mengenai kepimpinan dan sumbangannya disamping status kedudukan wanita pada era itu dilihat kabur. Kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan lensa konsep demonisasi, gender dan kepimpinan. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kajian perpustakaan dan kajian sejarah untuk mengutip data dan ia dianalisa menerusi cara analisis wacana kritikal. Hasil kajian mendapati status quo wanita Qing terkongkong akibat pengaruh gender iaitu patriarki yang terhasil dari doktrin prejudisme Confucianisme yang membentuk masyarakat yang mendiskriminasi wanita. Kajian menunjukkan Cixi memainkan peranan dan kepimpinannya menyumbang kepada kemaslahatan China namun dia dinafikan akreditasi atas pengaruh gender seperti prejudisme sejarawan tradisional dalam penulisan naratifnya serta pemalsuan fakta dan fitnah oleh musuh politiknya. Kajian ini menunjukkan bagaimana elemen gender dimanipulasi sebagai alat mendiskriminasi dan mendemonisasi wanita

    Population Ageing And Income Inequality In China
    (2024-09)
    Yan, Xiao
    Income inequality has become a pressing social issue globally, with China's dramatic increase in inequality since the 1990s drawing significant scholarly interest. The country's inequality levels exceeded international warnings in the late 1990s. Concurrently, China has experienced an unprecedentedly rapid ageing process, projecting it to become the world's largest super-aged nation soon. Demographic shifts impact income disparities across age groups, necessitating an exploration of income inequality among these groups and the age effect on this inequality in China. This thesis has three primary objectives: First, it aims to assess the age effects on income inequality in China using the Theil decomposition method and micro dataset China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). Second, it examines the impact of population ageing on income inequality through mixed Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), fixed effect, and random effect models. Third, it distinguishes between urban and rural populations and compares the age effect of income inequality in the rural and urban areas. Regression analyses were employed to assess the influence of different age groups, educational attainment, and financial sector development on income inequality. The key findings are Income inequality is not uniform across age groups, with the 55-59 age group experiencing the most significant disparities. Population ageing exacerbates income inequality throughout China from 2010 to 2018, with changes in macro-environmental factors and household size also impacting inequality. Moreover, the impact of population ageing is more pronounced in urban areas, while education has a more significant effect on income convergence in rural areas. The study enriches scholarly debate and offers valuable policy implications.

    (2024-01)
    Alanezy, Mashail S A O
    Drawing upon the Locus Control Theory, Metatheory of Resilience and Resiliency, and Self-Determinant, this study examined the role of the psychosocial factors such as support services and resilience on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and overall QoL of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). A total of 230 PwMS treated in Ibn-Sina and al-Ameri hospitals in Kuwait participated in the study. This study uses both the disjoint two-stage approach of partial least squares – structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and multi-group analysis (MGA) to analyze the path model and compare the effects of psychosocial factors across male and female patients with MS.
