When compelled to FB around academic texts: Postgraduate students reflected on their online experience by Shaik Abdullah, Sarimah, Yaacob, Aizan, Abdul Rahim, Fauziah

“…Their reflections on the facilitation of learning were broken down into the following themes: safe environment to explore, social support, self-regulation and autonomy.A separate category, “FB entries need responding”, was assigned to students’ comments about the importance of lecturer’s and group members’ feedback.Value – This study revealed the potential of FB as a convenient, safe and an informal avenue for students to share their understandings and reading-related problems.The informal nature of their FB experience supported free exploration of ideas without the worry of having to appear “clever”.…”

Usefulness of cash flow in business decision making by Amran, Noor Afza, Ali Abdi, AbdiNassir

“…This research examines the relationship between free cash flows with earnings, dividend per share, depreciation, and capital expenditures.Using a sample of 100 companies listed on Bursa Malaysia between 2005 until 2010, this study applies ordinary least squares and fixed-effects method to estimate the regression model.Findings reveal that Earnings Before Interest,Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation(EBITDA), Capital Expenditure and Depreciation significantly influence the Free Cash Flows.EBITDA and Capital Expenditure has shown positive relationship with free cash flow, but Depreciation reflects a negative relationship with free cash flow.These findings may provide useful information to investors and businessmen on how to plan and manage the cash flow.…”

Investigating the knowledge creation processes in a Learning Management System (LMS) by Ahmad, Mazida, Abbas, Merza, Wan Yahaya, Wan Ahmad Jaafar, Abdul Salam, Sobihatun Nur

“…As its applicability in the educational context is inconclusive, an investigation was conducted to see if the model could explain the knowledge creation processes for the expository (high hierarchical structure) teaching method in a set of online courses.This paper reports the findings based on a survey conducted on a sample comprised of 371 students enrolled in LMS-supported courses at a university in Malaysia.The instrument has been developed based on the SECI model to measure the interaction and transaction processes for content-based and content-free skills.The data was collected in stages over a semester and analyzed using the latent variable method in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).The latent variable method requires the extraction of the factors investigated through a measurement model followed by the construction of the structural model employing the extracted factors.For content-free skills, the measurement model reported a good fit for the data, with all factors having significant direct effects hence follows the complete SECI model.However, the structural model analysis for content-based skills reported an acceptable fit for the data with one insignificant hypothesized direct effect, thus produced an incomplete SECI model.The overall findings demonstrates that SECI model is applicable to educational settings and worked well in situations or contexts where students were already proficient.…”

An interaction between SCTP and on demand MANET routing protocols by Azzali, Fazli, Mohd Zaini, Khuzairi, Osman, Baharudin, Abas, Azizi, Lubis, Fahrurrozi

“…Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network of mobile nodes that has no fixed routers.In MANET, mobile nodes can communicate via the wireless interface while nodes are moving freely without using the network infrastructure.Nowadays the performance of a new existence Internet protocol technology, that is Stream Control Transportation Protocol ( SCTP) in a MANET Routing Protocol still unknown.The general objective of this research is to analyze and make the comparative performance of SCTP with Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) using Network Simulator (NS-2).Specifically, this research is to measure the behavior of SCTP in terms of throughput and smoothness and; to determine routing protocol in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) either it has significant effect in SCTP.This research used Network Simulator 2 (NS-2), type of the traffic is Constant Bit Rate ( CBR) and packet size is 1000.The data sent consists of five speeds at 5 m/s, 10 m/s, 15 m/s, 20 m/s, 25 m/s, and then these speeds are used in AODV and DSR simulation.The result, of our study suggested that the SCTP throughput over AODV is higher than DSR and the smoothness of SCTP over DSR was higher than AODV for the five types of speed.In addition, there was no significant impact on throughput between AODV and DSR as the percentage difference was small (i.e., 0 to 2.4%).Furthermore, the speed of node movement does not significant affect the smoothness.…”
