Using Social Media To Support Descriptive Essay Writing And Online Interaction At Undergraduate Level: A Mixed Method Study
(2024-01)
Rashid, Muhammad
This mixed method study aims at investigating the effectiveness of social media as mediating tools to support (a) descriptive essay writing and (b) online interaction at undergraduate level. To substantialize the aim of the study, the researcher selected three intact classes of BS (Bachelor of Science) 4th semester enrolled in a public sector Graduate College in Southern Punjab, Pakistan. To validate the study, a pilot study was conducted prior to the main study.
Trichoderma Species Biosorption Of Nickel And Cadmium From Aqueous Solutions
(2017-01)
Low, Pui Man
The effect of ph on growth of trichoderma sp. In shake flask culture was studied. The highest biomass was obtained at ph 5 which is 1.45g in 100 ml of liquid media. In this research, the biosorbent was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) and scanning electron microscope (sem), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx) and ph point of zero charge (phpzc). The optimum biosorption conditions were determined as a function of ph, biosorbent dosage, and contact time. The equilibrium data were better fit by the langmuir isotherm model than by the freundlich isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of nickel and cadmium were found to be 5.456 mg/g and 2.380 mg/g respectively. The central composite design (ccd) in response surface methodology was used for designing the experiments as well as for full response surface estimation. The optimum condition for maximum removal of nickel and cadmium from an aqueous solution of 50 mg/l were as follows: ph 4.92, biosorbent dosage (0.70 g), contact time (8.28 hours) for nickel and ph 9.99, biosorbent dosage (0.60 g), contact time (11.93 hours) for cadmium. The high correlation coefficient (/?2 = 0.877 for nickel, r2 = 0.959 for cadmium) between the models and experiment data showed that the models were able to predict the removal of nickel and cadmium from aqueous solution by using trichoderma sp. Efficiently.
Hubungan Antara Iklim Organisasi Sekolah Dan Kesejahteraan Psikologi Guru: Semangat Mengajar Sebagai Pengantara
(2024-06)
Othaman, Norhasyimah
Psikologi membawa maksud keupayaan individu untuk menerima diri dan orang lain di persekitarannya serta mengetahui akan potensi diri disamping mengembangkan potensi sedia ada. Iklim organisasi sekolah ialah konsep umum yang merangkumi suasana yang dialami oleh pendidik serta mencorakkan kelakuan mereka lebih-lebih lagi di kawasan sekolah. Berdasarkan teori kognitif sosial (bandura, 1986; 1997), kajian ini menyiasat interaksi di antara iklim organisasi sekolah terhadap kesejahteraan psikologi guru di seberang perai tengah, pulau pinang disamping semangat untuk mengajar digunakan sebagai pengantara di antara kedua-dua pemboleh ubah. Untuk menguji hipotesis yang disarankan, data dikumpulkan melalui borang soal selidik. Sampel kajian ini terdiri daripada 196 orang guru yang mengajar di daerah seberang perai tengah, pulau pinang. Kajian ini telah mendapati bahawa hubungan antara iklim organisasi sekolah dengan kesejahteraan psikologi guru berhubung kait namun semangat untuk mengajar sebagai pemboleh ubah pengantara yang digunakan dalam kajian ini tidak menujukkan hubung kait di antara iklim organisasi dan kesejahteraan psikologi guru. Berdasarkan dapatan kajian, metodologi, implikasi teori dan praktikal kajian telah dibincangkan. Cadangan untuk penyelidikan masa depan juga dikemukakan.
Modeling Apartment Purchase Intention Using The Extended Theory Of Planned Behavior In Dhaka City, Bangladesh
(2024-07)
Islam, Muhammad Ariful
Understanding the factors that influence apartment purchase intention is crucial for real estate companies. This research aimed to identify these factors and their impact on buyers' intentions. To achieve this, a quantitative approach using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed. To identify the relevant factors, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted on a sample of 236 participants in first survey. After revising the questionnaire based on the EFA results, new data were collected from 304 samples in second survey for better result in CFA. The study, rooted in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), considered elements such as perceived physical quality and access to money. These factors, identified through a literature review, were incorporated to a sample size of 304 complete questionnaires. SPSS and SmartPLS 4 software facilitated data analysis. The findings indicated positive effects of independent variables (attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, perceived physical quality, and access to money) on apartment purchase intention. The moderation analysis revealed no significant moderating effect of access to money. This study contributes valuable insights by introducing two predictors, perceived physical quality and access to money, to the TPB model in the context of apartment purchases in Dhaka City, Bangladesh's real estate industry.
Influence Of High-Performance Work System On Employee Performance And Mediating Role Of Employee Engagement
(2024-07)
Abdul Rahman A, Alshammari Tai
The aviation industry consistently enhances its human resources by recruiting and retaining proficient personnel. The implementation of a structured Human Resource Management (HRM) program is deemed essential in the aviation industry, as it is regarded as a pivotal element of organizational activities. The top management of the aviation industry has been engaging in recruitment efforts, however, a significant proportion of the newly hired personnel have tended to discontinue their employment within a brief timeframe. Modern service managers acknowledge that allocating resources toward employee investment and fostering a supportive work environment can result in heightened motivation, superior job performance, and decreased employee turnover. High-performance work practices (HPWPs) are defined as human resource activities that have a positive impact on employee performance. Therefore, the main objective of this dissertation is to investigate the impact of HPWS on employee performance, a consensus on the mechanisms underlying this relationship has yet to be reached. The present study employs Social Exchange Theory (SET) to examine the relationship between High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) and employee performance, with a focus on exploring the mediating effect of employee engagement.
