With its wealth of experience, the KOE has established different strategic plans over the years to improve its academic standards. The faculty provides undergraduate and postgraduate programs in various fields of engineering, such as chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, mechatronics, and computer engineering. Despite having an excellent academic curriculum, there is still a significant gap in the integration of knowledge across different courses, which could hinder the overall learning experience of the students. To bridge this gap and provide a more comprehensive approach to education, there is a need to integrate knowledge from various courses and disciplines. This approach will enable students to understand the relationships between different areas of study and better equip them to solve complex problems in the real world. Integrating knowledge from various courses will not only improve the overall quality of education but also increase the employability of graduates as they will possess a diverse set of skills that are highly sought after in today's job market. ABSTRAK: Kulliyyah Kejuruteraan (KOE) di Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (IIUM) telah menjadi salah satu institusi terkemuka di negara sejak tahun 1994, menawarkan pendidikan kejuruteraan kepada pelajar dari seluruh dunia. Dengan pengalaman yang kaya, KOE telah menetapkan pelan strategik yang berbeza selama bertahun-tahun untuk meningkatkan standard akademiknya. Fakulti ini menyediakan program sarjana dan siswazah dalam pelbagai bidang kejuruteraan, seperti kejuruteraan kimia, awam, elektrik, mekanikal, pembuatan, mekatronik, dan kejuruteraan komputer. Walaupun mempunyai kurikulum akademik yang cemerlang, terdapat jurang yang besar dalam pengintegrasian pengetahuan di antara kursus yang berbeza, yang boleh menghalang pengalaman pembelajaran keseluruhan pelajar. Untuk menyelesaikan jurang ini dan memberikan pendekatan pendidikan yang lebih komprehensif, terdapat keperluan untuk mengintegrasikan pengetahuan dari pelbagai kursus dan disiplin. Pendekatan ini akan membolehkan pelajar memahami hubungan di antara bidang pengajian yang berbeza dan mempersiapkan mereka dengan lebih baik untuk menyelesaikan masalah kompleks dalam dunia sebenar. Mengintegrasikan pengetahuan dari pelbagai kursus tidak hanya akan meningkatkan kualiti pendidikan secara keseluruhan tetapi juga meningkatkan kebolehpasaran graduan kerana mereka akan mempunyai set kemahiran yang pelbagai yang sangat dicari dalam pasaran kerja hari ini..","PeriodicalId":476392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Integration of Knowledge","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135593115","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 search for long-term, sustainable solutions ought to be multidisciplinary in nature so as to provide transformative changes, rather than an incremental and linear alternative. For example, the severity of the climate crisis demands a change in the conventional framework to one that is more impactful with a radical outcome. Open innovative approaches that cover beyond technological outcomes to enable social, communal and institutional dimensions are imperative for a success sustainable change as the real-world drivers in the transformational process.

There was limited information regarding characteristics and factors affecting disease progression in this population in Malaysia. This study aimed to investigate patient characteristics and risk factors contributing to disease progression among COVID-19 patients during hospitalisation. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study using electronic medical record data from COVID-19 patients admitted to two public hospitals in East Coast Malaysia from February 2020 to August 2021 was conducted. This study included patients with asymptomatic or mild condition (stage 1 – stage 3) upon hospital admission and progressed to severe condition (stage 4 – stage 5) during hospitalisation. Results: A total of 163 patients were included (57% male) with the age of (mean±SD, 62.3 ±14.0 years). Multivariable logistic regression associated with COVID-19 disease progression included elderly (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.04, 1.08; p = ≤0.05), diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.27; 95% CI, 1.27, 4.06; p = 0.006), chronic kidney disease (OR, 4.87; 95% CI, 1.92, 12.38; p=0.001), and presented with more than three COVID-19 symptoms (OR, 9.80; 95% CI, 6.08-15.81, p = ≤0.05). Conclusion: Risk factors for COVID-19 disease progression included elderly patients, comorbidities of diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease or more than three COVID-19 symptoms. Close monitoring and early intervention should be implemented for these patients to prevent the disease progression and poor prognosis.","PeriodicalId":476392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Integration of Knowledge","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135593114","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}

A nursing discharge plan is widely recognised as one of the strategies for addressing these issues. In Malaysia, however, it is unknown for patients with hip fractures. As a result, this study was carried out to investigate the impact of nursing discharge planning on patients with hip fractures in Hospital Melaka, Malaysia. Methods: A total of 58 patients aged 50 years and above in the orthopaedic ward of Hospital Melaka were randomised using sealed envelopes to the intervention group (n = 29) and the control group (n = 29). The intervention group received an adapted nursing discharge plan with health education activities in the form of pamphlets and oral instructions within 24 hours of ward admission until discharge while the control group received routine discharge practices. Demographic data were taken from the study subjects while clinical data and length of stay in the ward were taken from the subjects’ medical records before discharge. After one month discharged, data for ward readmission rate and drop rate were taken from the subject's medical records while data for the subject's daily life activities were obtained through telephone calls using The Barthel Index survey form. Results: The results of the study showed that the intervention group had a shorter ward stay (U = 254.00, p = 0.008) and a higher level of independence than the control group (U = 205.00, p = 0.001). The control group had 100% of subjects who were not able to be independent in daily activities of life compared to 75.9% of the intervention group (p <0.05). Conclusion: A nursing discharge plan including a health education component starting from the patient's admission to the ward until before the discharge should be considered in the nursing practice. It could facilitate better discharge outcomes for patients with hip fractures.","PeriodicalId":476392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Integration of Knowledge","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135593116","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}
