{"title":"PENYAYANG DAN BERWAWASAN CIRI KEPIMPINAN PEMERINTAHAN DALAM SYAIR DIRAJA MELAYU PERAK-JOHOR ERA KONTEMPORARI","authors":"Ros Nani Nani, Muammar Ghaddafi Hanafiah, Shaiful Bahri Md.Radzi","doi":"10.17576/ebangi.2023.2002.22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17576/ebangi.2023.2002.22","url":null,"abstract":"Pada era abad ke-16 hingga penghujung abad ke-19, syair adalah satu daripada wadah pengkaryaan penulis-penulis istana. Corak kepengarangan pada era ini ialah pujian dan penceritaan berhubung sultan dalam zamannya. Setelah kehadiran kuasa Barat yang membawa bersama-sama corak kepengarangan yang pelbagai bentuk dan genre, golongan raja tidak lagi menjadi idea dalam penulisan. Syair tidak lagi menjadi pilihan sebagai wadah pengkaryaan. Corak kepengarangan sedemikian mula melemah apabila berkembangnya sastera moden. Syair Riwayat Yang Amat Mulia Tengku Ampuan Besar Pahang (1953) rakaman terakhir sejarah golongan Diraja. Walau bagaimanapun, pada era kontemporari ini muncul dua karya sedemikian, Syair Sultan Azlan Shah Berjiwa Rakyat (2009) karya Mohd Ibrahim bin Said dan Syair DYMM Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar (2018) oleh Maskiah binti Masrom. Kedua-dua teks syair DiRaja ini dijadikan sampel kajian. Hasil penekunan menemukan kedua-dua penulis menjadikan raja sebagai subjek penulisan. Kaedah kaji banding diapliksi dalam usaha untuk meneliti kepengarangan kedua-dua penulis dalam mempersembah idea rakaman sejarah DiRaja pada era kontemporari. Kaedah kajian secara intrinsik terhadap sampel kajian juga turut digunakan. Dapatan kajian menemukan terdapat persamaan kepengarangan dengan memaparkan ciri kepimpinan pemerintahan yang penyayang dan berwawasan dimiliki oleh sultan bagi negeri masing-masing. Hasil kajian ini membuktikan bahawa syair diraja masih kekal relevan dalam mengangkat dan mengagungkan seseorang raja walaupun dalam era moden. Kedudukan pengarang moden yang berada di luar lingkungan istana tidak menghalang mereka menghasilkan syair diraja ini.","PeriodicalId":133740,"journal":{"name":"e-Bangi Journal of Social Science and Humanities","volume":"292 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122794740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, overcrowding in correctional facilities has implications for correctional officials' work in the reintegration of offender’s programmes. This paper discusses overcrowding at Rooigrond Correctional Centre in the North West Province in South Africa and the implications it has for the work of correctional officials at the facility. The study applied a qualitative approach and a descriptive research design to capture the experiences of the correctional officials on the implication of overcrowding on the reintegration of offenders. Using the quota sampling method and semi-structured face-to-face interviews, ten correctional officials of different ranks participated in the study. Thematic data analysis employed showed that overcrowding in a correctional facility affects negatively the reintegration programmes at Rooigrond Correctional Centre making the rehabilitation process difficult and less effective. To enable and facilitate the successful reintegration of offenders into the communities, the study makes significant recommendations for consideration by correctional officials.","PeriodicalId":133740,"journal":{"name":"e-Bangi Journal of Social Science and Humanities","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122822956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kaedah pembelajaran Talk and chalk sudah lama diaplikasikan di sekolah dan kini dilihat kurang relevan dengan situasi kini. Kurikulum yang semakin mencabar dan terpaksa pelajar memahami sesuatu di luar kadar keupayaan mereka berfikir. Penggunaan media komunikasi dilihat sangat baik dalam memberikan pendedahan kepada pelajar mengenai kaedah pembelajaran yang lebih baik dan menarik. Namun terdapat beberapa kesan negatif di mana pelajar seusia 5 tahun sudah diajar menggunakan peranti pintar yang kadang banyak memberikan kesan negatif kepada pelajar cilik sekiranya tidak dipantau oleh ibu bapa atau guru. Muzium telah menawarkan satu kaedah pendidikan yang menarik iaitu menggunakan pancaindera iaitu melalui kaedah dengar, lihat dan sentuh. Muzium bukan sahaja tempat menyimpan artifak negara tetapi juga memainkan konsep yang baru dalam pendidikan. Selaras dengan makna yang telah diberikan oleh International Council of Museums (ICOM) mengenai muzium. Kaedah kajian yang digunakan adalah pemerhatian iaitu di Muzium Kuala Lumpur dan analisis kandungan. Dapatan kajian adalah konsep pendidikan muzium sesuai digunakan oleh pelajar dalam menjadi alat bantu mengajar di sekolah. Pihak guru digalakkan membawa pelajar ke muzium dalam mempelajari subjek yang berkaitan. Ibu bapa yang berkelapangan juga disaran membawa anak-anak ke muzium dalam membantu anak-anak lebih memahami mata pelajaran di sekolah dengan menggunakan artifak yang dipamerkan di galeri pameran. Muzium bukan sekadar mempunyai koleksi artifak malah mereka juga telah memberikan jalan cerita yang sebenar mengikut kronologi terutama bagi subjek sejarah. Sumbangan kajian ini adalah memberikan kaedah pembelajaran yang berbeza bagi membantu pelajar untuk lebih memahami pelajaran.","PeriodicalId":133740,"journal":{"name":"e-Bangi Journal of Social Science and Humanities","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131348375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dana yang lestari membantu masjid memainkan peranan dan fungsinya yang pelbagai secara berterusan untuk memberi manfaat kepada masyarakat pada masa sekarang dan akan datang. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti (i) sumber dana; (ii) aktiviti pengimarahan; dan (iii) perkhidmatan komuniti yang disediakan; serta (iv) meneroka faktor-faktor yang menyumbang kepada kelestarian dana masjid-masjid di Negeri Sarawak. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan reka bentuk kajian kes, melibatkan 16 informan yang merupakan Ahli Jawatankusa Pengurusan Masjid. Sebanyak lima buah masjid yang dikategorikan oleh Jabatan Agama Islam Sarawak (JAIS) sebagai masjid yang aktif dengan aktiviti pengimarahan serta mempunyai dana yang lestari dipilih sebagai sampel kajian ini. Kaedah pengumpulan data pula menggunakan kaedah temu bual berstruktur dan penganalisaan dokumen manakala analisis data menggunakan teknik analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati derma orang ramai melalui kutipan Jumaat, derma berasaskan keperluan dan aktiviti masjid merupakan sumber dana utama bagi masjid-masjid di Negeri Sarawak. Hasil kajian juga mendapati masjid-masjid tersebut aktif melaksanakan aktiviti pengimarahan yang dijalankan secara mingguan, bulanan dan tahunan manakala perkhidmatan komuniti pula merangkumi aspek kebajikan, pendidikan dan sokongan sosial. Kekerapan aktiviti pengimarahan serta perkhidmatan komuniti yang dilaksanakan oleh masjid mendorong jemaah untuk terus menyumbang kepada dana masjid. Kesedaran yang tinggi untuk menderma dalam kalangan masyarakat setempat juga menyumbang kepada perolehan dana masjid. Implikasi kajian menyarankan agar institusi masjid dapat mengusahakan sumber dana lain yang dijana melalui pendapatan dan tidak terlalu bergantung sepenuhnya dengan sumbangan dan derma orang ramai. Aktiviti pengimarahan dan perkhidmatan komuniti yang sedia ada boleh dipelbagaikan dan diperluaskan agar dapat memberikan manfaat bukan sahaja kepada komuniti setempat tetapi umat Islam di Sarawak amnya.","PeriodicalId":133740,"journal":{"name":"e-Bangi Journal of Social Science and Humanities","volume":"385 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115990104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The challenge to consistently retain the social standing by its ranking is greater for young private universities in Malaysia. By means of the principles of Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS), this research highlighted the opportunities in strengthening the human capital moving towards a professional learning community. The study employed the qualitative research design to explore the institutional support provided for professional development to identify training needs and opportunities to educators, as well as the prospects of adapting the BOS strategy to meet the diverse needs of the professional development of educators. Employing a purposeful sampling method, five key stakeholders in the management position and ten lecturers from a private university in Malaysia were interviewed. These lecturers were specifically selected based on their knowledge and interest in the topic and the other criteria was their willingness to participate in the study. The criteria established directly reflects the purpose of the study. Document analysis of policy guidelines for professional development and the strategies adapted by the universities to enhance professional development was conducted. U Findings indicate that universities are encouraged to transform and cater for the ever-changing customer dynamics and technologies as well as to create demand and value to professional development. Findings point out that the concept of professional development should be broadened, and policy directives should be enhanced for greater visibility. Professional development should be examined as the governing mechanism to determine innovate practices to meet the diverse needs of academics. The conclusion of the study points to the need to broaden the concept of professional development and the implication for the organizational innovation is discussed.","PeriodicalId":133740,"journal":{"name":"e-Bangi Journal of Social Science and Humanities","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133101786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) telah menyebabkan peniaga wajib mematuhi arahan kerajaan dengan menutup premis jualan mereka. Perkara ini telah menyebabkan peniaga mengalami kerugian dan perlu mencari alternatif bagi meneruskan perniagaan dan memastikan penjanaan pendapatan secara berterusan. Pada masa kini, peranan teknologi digital bukan sahaja mampu mentransformasikan peniaga luar bandar malah mampu membantu peniaga untuk terus bertahan dalam perniagaan. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti kemiskinan digital yang berlaku dalam kalangan peniaga luar bandar dan menjelaskan halangan yang dihadapi oleh peniaga luar bandar dalam berhadapan isu kemiskinan digital di kawasan Kota Belud dan Kudat, Sabah.

To help the older generation integrate into the digital world and narrow the digital generation gap within families, this study investigated the current situation of three-generation bottom-up technology transmission in Chinese rural families and explored the factors related to this process. Using the questionnaire survey, we surveyed 436 samples of 79 families in China, including 197 grandparents, 122 parents and 117 children. The results show that most of the older generation learn to use WeChat from the younger generation. Although the grandparents’ adoption and use of digital media are significantly lower than those of the parents, they are significantly more receptive to bottom-up technology transmission than the parents. Furthermore, bottom-up technology transmission is mainly related to the demographic characteristics, subjective feelings, psychological expectations, degree of interaction and intimacy of family members. The more vulnerable individuals (older, less educated, female, less self-efficacy and more psychological disorders), the more likely they are to receive bottom-up technology transmission. The findings emphasized the important influence of mediated communication and intimacy in bottom-up technology transmission in Chinese rural families.","PeriodicalId":133740,"journal":{"name":"e-Bangi Journal of Social Science and Humanities","volume":"232 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133494037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
