2021-05-03 , Yusoff H.A.M. , Mohammad Rezal Hamzah , Abdul Rahman Abdul Manaf , Adila Ismail , Yasmin Ahmad , Huzili Hussin

Health literacy (HL) is an essential component of various literacies mentioned in the field of health and education, including cultural, technological, media and scientific literacies. It is important for motivating higher consumer engagement. Health literacy (HL) describes an intermediate outcome of health education and health promotion and refers to an individual's capacities, skills and motivation to make judgments and decisions in everyday life concerning healthcare, disease prevention and health promotion. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on health literacy and health outcomes as an evidence-based review of plausible causal pathways that could best explain well-established associations between limited health literacy and health outcomes globally. This research is based on past researches by employing the systematic review approach. 8 out of 825 articles has been identified for analytical purposes in tandem with the observed theme; the influence of health literacy on health outcomes.

2023-04-24 , Adila Ismail , Mohammad Rezal Hamzah , Huzili Hussin , Habee Bullah Affandy , Ahmad Y. , Yusoff H.A.M. , Abdul Rahman Abdul Manaf

A large number of online interaction and sharing of personal information on social media networking sites has raised new privacy issues. This is said to be due to online users' lack of privacy concerns, thus promoting online self-disclosure in social media. Against this concern, this paper will provide a conceptual understanding on the predictor towards online self-disclosure, which is privacy concerns among the users. According to the summary of literatures, it is hypothesized that privacy concerns will hamper self-disclosure online. Based on the proposed framework, propositions are formulated as a basis for the study that will follow.

Cultural competency among prospective teachers: A review

2023-04-24 , Yasmin Ahmad , Mohammad Rezal Hamzah , Huzili Hussin , Adila Ismail , Shuhairimi Abdullah , Yusof H.A.M. , Abdul Rahman Abdul Manaf , Huzili A.I.

The reality of ethnic and cultural diversity in the classroom today is a massive challenge for teachers, especially prospective teachers. The teacher education program is vital in educating prospective teachers with culturally responsive pedagogy and teaching students from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. A school environment consisting of students from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds requires teachers to meet their needs. Teachers must be culturally competent to respond effectively in terms of diversity in their classrooms and prepare their students to live and work in a global society. Preparing prospective teachers for this role is not an easy task and what makes it more difficult is that the diversity of teachers does not always match the diversity of students in schools. This paper will discuss cultural competency among prospective teachers and related theories regarding this issue. Teachers and prospective teachers should show professional competencies that will enable them to work effectively, respectfully, and ethically with students from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

Memory inhibition and later retrieval

2023-04-24 , Huzili A.I. , Huzili Hussin , Yasmin Ahmad , Mohammad Rezal Hamzah , Adila Ismail , Yusof H.A.M. , Abdul Rahman Abdul Manaf

Forgetting is adaptive because it decreases future interference (a conflict between information in memory), and it enables selectivity of information recollection. Thus, relevant information can be activated, and irrelevant information can be inhibited. Memory inhibition is the ability to override memory as a whole or a part of it, with or without intention. This conceptual paper will provide an in-depth literature review based on a few empirical types of research that provide evidence that information in memory can be inhibited and the attempt to impede memory would hinder the information retrieval later. Within this study, the author identified various empirical research that inhibition of the memory is possible through (a) retrieval-induced forgetting, (b) directed forgetting, and (c) direct suppression: think and no-think paradigm. In addition, research gaps and limitations are identified, which would provide additional information for extended research in future.

Kesan intervensi terapi kelompok tingkah laku kognitif bagi kategori umur terhadap estim kendiri penagih dadah

2014 , Huzili Hussin , Mohamad Hashim Othman

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesan intervensi terapi kelompok Tingkah Laku Kognitif Standard [CBT(S)] dengan terapi kelompok Tingkah Laku Kognitif Brief [CBT(B)] bagi kategori umur terhadap skor min estim kendiri (EK) dalam kalangan penagih dadah. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk kuasi ekperimen yang melibatkan dua kumpulan rawatan [CBT(S) & CBT(B)] dan satu kelompok kawalan (KW) serta empat ujian berulangan iaitu; ujian Pra, Pos 1, Pos 2 dan Pos 3. Seramai 108 penagih dadah telah dipilih dengan menggunakan kaedah persampelan bertujuan. Sampel kajian dikategorikan kepada tiga kategori umur, iaitu (a) 19 hingga 29 tahun (n = 34); (b) 30 hingga 39 tahun (n = 43); dan (c) 40 hingga 60 tahun (n = 31). Data dikumpul dengan menggunakan instrumen psikomatriks yang standard iaitu; Internal Control Index (Patricia Duttweiler, 1984) dan The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Analisis deskriptif (min, peratus min dan sisihan piawai) dijalankan untuk melihat perbezaan skor min EK bagi ketiga-tiga kategori umur. Hasil analisis didapati intervensi CBT terhadap kelompok rawatan CBT(S) dan CBT(B) telah berjaya meningkatkan skor min EK berbanding dengan kelompok KW merentasi masa ujian bagi ketiga-tiga kategori umur. Daripada segi perbandingan peningkatan skor min EK, didapati intervensi CBT bagi kelompok rawatan CBT(S) menunjukkan peningkatan yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan kelompok rawatan CBT(B). Keberkesanan intervensi CBT terhadap kedua-dua kelompok CBT(S) dan CBT(B) bagi ketiga-tiga kategori umur juga ditunjukkan menerusi peningkatan pola perubahan skor min EK pada ujian Pos 1 berbanding ujian Pra, peningkatan ujian Pos 2 berbanding dengan ujian Pos 1 dan peningkatan ujian Pos 3 berbanding dengan ujian Pos 2. Secara keseluruhannya, didapati intervensi kelompok rawatan CBT(S) dan CBT(B) dapat meningkatkan min skor estim kendiri bagi ketiga-tiga kategori umur penagih dadah.

Pemerkasaan al-Quran dan al-Sunnah penyumbang kepada kecemerlangan Tamadun Melayu: satu analisis

2014 , Shuhairimi Abdullah , Nur Salimah Alias , Huzili Hussin , Noor Salwani Hussin

Nur kebenaran yang terpancar daripada isi kandungan al-Quran dan alSunnah mengandungi asas-asas keluhuran pembentukan peradaban sebagai panduan asas untuk diikuti oleh seluruh manusia. Al-Quran dan al-Sunnah menyeru semua masyarakat supaya kembali kepada pemikiran rasional dan realistik dan menyangkal pemikiran yang diikat dengan fahaman animisme, paganisme dan “syncretism”. Sebagai kitab yang paling sempurna diciptakan oleh Allah, maka al-Quran merupakan obor kebenaran yang menerangi liku-liku kehidupan yang perlu dilalui oleh setiap manusia. Begitu juga al-Sunnah yang disampaikan oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW melalui petunjuk Ilahi menjadi petunjuk kepada manusia untuk menguruskan sistem kehidupan. Sejarah telah mencerahkan bahawa pengajaran yang terkandung dalam al-Quran dan al-Sunnah telah memberi impak yang positif terhadap kebudayaan Melayu. Ajaran Islam yang telah berstimulasi dalam kebudayaan Melayu telah menimbulkan satu gelombang yang hebat dalam menggerakkan proses merevolusi sistem pandangan hidup masyarakat yang telah memalingkan dari alam seni mitos yang khayal kepada pembentukan alam akal dan budi yang menuntut kepada kaedah tertib yang teratur. Islam telah mengubah lanskap kebudayaan Melayu kepada kepercayaan rasionalisme dan pengetahuan akliah. Manifestasi ini dizahirkan melalui sistem masyarakat yang berasaskan kepada kebebasan, keadilan dan kemuliaan keperibadian insan. Justeru itu, penelitian yang lebih kritis dan saintifik terhadap impak pengajaran al-Quran dan al-Sunnah terhadap perkaitannya dalam memperkasakan bangsa Melayu perlu dilakukan. Kajian yang dijalankan ini adalah bersifat kualitatif dengan mengkaji persejarahan Islam bagi mendapatkan gambaran yang lebih tepat tentang aspek budaya dan pemikiran serta realiti hidup masyarakat Melayu kini. Natijahnya, ajaranal-Quran dan al-Sunnah telah berjaya mewarnai sistem kepercayaan, falsafah, bahasa, sejarah dan kesenian masyarakat Melayu. Sifat dan hakikat kecemerlangan kebudayaan Melayu tidak dapat dijuzukkan daripada pengajaran Islam. Apa yang nyata, umat Melayu akan terus unggul dan berdaya saing sekiranya berpegang teguh dengan pegangan al-Quran dan al-Sunnah.

Namun, secara realitinya kita akan ‘mudah terasa’ dengan segala sindiran, penghinaan, kesedihan, kekecewaan dan penganiayaan. Hakikatnya, jika kita cekal dan kuat semua perkara tersebut tidak akan menjadi bisa kepada kita. Penulis mendapat ilham untuk menulis buku ini hasil daripada pemerhatian, renung nilai, pembacaan, perkongsian daripada rakan-rakan, pengalaman bersama masyarakat dan yang paling utama ialah pengalaman peribadi yang diolah semula sebagai iktibar kepada pembaca.

Teacher education programs is very important period in preparing prospective with all the competencies needed. Teachers as well as prospective teachers must have a high level of cultural sensitivity so they can respond effectively in terms of diversity in their classrooms and prepare their students to live and work in a global society.

Self-Disclosure on SNS: Trust and Perceived Risks as Moderators

2024-04-19 , Adila Ismail , Mohammad Rezal Hamzah , Huzili Hussin

This research is intended to discover the influence of the proposed moderators in the relationship of privacy concerns and self-disclosure. The moderators are trust and perceived risk, which were expected to have differing influence on the relationship. Using SEM method through multigroup analyses, the results show that both trust and perceived risks have significant moderating effects in between the relationship of privacy concerns and self-disclosure. Trust moderates the relationship in a positive way, whereas higher trust will increase self-disclosure in SNS. Meanwhile perceived risks has a negative moderation effect, in such higher perceived risks will decrease self-disclosure.
