TAHAP PENGETAHUAN DAN KESEDARAN MAHASISWA MUSLIM DALAM PEMILIHAN MAKANAN HALALAN TAYYIBAN MENURUT PERSPEKTIF MAQASID SYARIAH DAN KONSEP TAYYIBAN Najmi Azhar Bin Zaid ABSTRAK Pengetahuan dan kesedaran dalam pemilihan makanan halal berdasarkan perspektif maqasid syariah dan konsep tayyiban merupakan suatu perkara yang perlu dititikberatkan oleh setiap individu muslim. Kepentingan dalam pemilihan makanan halal berpandukan maqasid syariah dan konsep tayyiban ini tidak terkecuali kepada golongan mahasiswa muslim di pusat-pusat pengajian tinggi dalam negara. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk melihat tahap pengetahuan dan kesedaran mahasiswa muslim dalam pemilihan makanan halal berdasarkan perspektif maqasid syariah dan konsep tayyiban, kemudian kajian ini juga melihat hubungan pemilihan makanan halal dari sudut pandang maqasid syariah dan lima elemen penting dalam konsep tayyiban. Kajian ini telah dijalankan ke atas 116 pelajar mahasiswa di enam buah Institut Pengajian Tinggi Swasta (IPTS). Kajian ini menggunakan borang soal selidik yang mengandungi tiga bahagian iaitu bahagian A, B dan C. Kesemua bahagian mempunyai 24 item. Hasil kajian menunjukkan adanya hubungkait di antara maqasid syariah dan konsep tayyiban dalam pemilihan makanan halal. Faktor kesuntukan masa dan produk viral antara punca mahasiswa lebih gemar untuk memilih makanan dengan cepat, pantas, sedap dan mengikut trend terkini tanpa mementingkan objektif syariah dan elemen-elemen tayyiban dalam pemilihan makanan halal.

AMALAN POLIGAMI DI MALAYSIA: KAJIAN KES DI MAHKAMAH SYARIAH NEGERI KEDAH Nurul Nabila binti Mohd Azhar Fakulti Pendidikan Sains Sosial Universiti Selangor [email protected] ABSTRAK Perkahwinan poligami telah disyariatkan dalam Islam lantaran manfaat yang boleh diperoleh oleh pihak-pihak yang berpoligami. Namun begitu, manfaat dalam amalan poligami ini kurang diketengahkan bahkan sering dibayangi dengan polemik dalam masyarakat yang kelihatan cenderung untuk tidak menyokong perkahwinan poligami ini. Justeru, kajian ini telah dijalankan bagi mengkaji amalan berpoligami di Malaysia dan manfaat amalan berpoligami dalam kalangan pengamal perkahwinan poligami di Kedah. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kajian kualitatif dengan menggunakan kaedah temubual separa struktur. 5 orang informan/partisipan telah dipilih, iaitu dua orang informan daripada Mahkamah Syariah di Negeri Kedah dan tiga orang informan dalam kalangan orang awam yang mengamalkan perkahwinan poligami. Data dalam kajian ini telah dianalisa secara tematik dengan bantuan perisian atlas-ti versi 23 dengan menggunakan tema-tema konsep poligami, faktor poligami, cabaran poligami, peruntukan perundangan dan peratusan poligami di negeri Kedah, impak poligami, hukum dan hikmah berpoligami dan faktor keberjayaan poligami. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa peruntukan perundangan berkaitan poligami yang diperuntukkan di negeri Kedah adalah Enakmen 11 Seksyen 23 Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam (Kedah Darul Aman) 2008.

NO SENARAI TAJUK PEMBENTANGAN (JABATAN SAINS SOSIAL) 1. DEVELOPING A MEASURE OF LONELINESS AMONG EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION STUDENTS SARAH SOFEA BINTI HARUN NURUL IRDINA BINTI MOHD MASRUDIN NOR ZUNATASHA BINTI MOHD AZAM NURR SARAH QISTINA BINTI HISHAMUDIN ABSTRACT The extreme sadness that results from thinking you have no friends, relationships, or interaction is known as loneliness. This study looked at the level of loneliness, the necessities of university life, and the connections between these factors and the characteristics of university students. By putting ideas for maintaining connections into practice, we can lessen the perception of loneliness and reduce the likelihood of experiencing more serious health problems. Google Forms was utilized to collect data in order to assess loneliness among Universiti Selangor’s students who enrolled in Early Childhood Education programme. The survey involved self-report measures and self-report surveys, with participants providing information on their experiences of loneliness, social ties, and other characteristics. Data was collected from around ten students using focus groups interviews as in qualitative research. To encourage students to fill out the Google Forms, the researchers approached every student at Universiti Selangor in public and distributed them through online platforms like WhatsApp. Statistical studies were used to investigate the prevalence and intensity of loneliness while capturing the subjective experiences and personal narratives of those suffering from loneliness. Next, the result of this survey can be summarized based on the pilot test. This data from the pilot test was collected from a total of 10 students at the University Selangor. There were 20 questions in total. They answered the questions through Google Forms that we had distributed. They answered according to four choices of the answer which are “I often feel this way”, “I sometimes feel this way”, “I rarely feel this way”, and “I never feel this way”. Finally, the result of the pilot test which is the Cronbach Alpha is 0.918. Lastly, loneliness can impair one’s ability to sleep, increase physical health problems, and induce restlessness and high levels of stress. Loneliness has the potential to worsen the symptoms of anxiety or depression. This may lead to persistent “fight or flight” stress responses, which compromise the immune system’s ability to perform it is functions. In other words, those who feel lonely have weakened immune systems and are more likely to develop inflammatory disorders. Keywords: Loneliness, Health, University Student

DASS-21 was utilised in this research as our instrument and distributed to 161 primary school teachers to gather data on depression, anxiety, and stress, a survey was used. The questionnaire was adopted from Lovibond (1995). There are three distinct parts to the questionnaire. Demographic information such as age and gender are included in Section A. Section B uses the DASS-21 questionnaires to assess stress, anxiety, and depression. Items that are divided into equivalent subscales have been found for each of the three DASS-21 scales. Upon acquiring the data, we employ the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software to conduct the data analysis and processing for additional research objectives. Descriptive statistics revealed that majority were female teachers (n=92, 57.1%), in comparison to males (n=69, 42.9%). Most of them aged between 21-58 years. Reliability analysis showed 0.932, which suggests that the DASS-21 scale employed in this study is highly reliable. Given that the mental well-being of educators plays a crucial role in creating a conducive learning environment for students, it is highly advisable to conduct additional research in order to gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. It could provide valuable insights into the development of preventive measures and intervention strategies. Keywords: primary teacher, stress, burnout, anxiety, depression
5. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF-ESTEEM AND BODY IMAGE AMONG STUDENTS NUR AININ SOFIYA BINTI AHMAD FARIS NUR AIRISH KHAIRIYA BINTI KASSIM AIDA NUR FADHILAH BINTI MARSIDIYONO YASZRIN BINTI MARZUKI ABSTRACT This study aimed to explore the relationship between self-esteem and body image among students, focusing on how individuals think, feel, and behave in relation to their bodies and physical appearance. During adolescence, self-perception of one’s appearance plays a crucial role in the development of self-esteem and is considered a significant predictor of self-worth. Research suggests that distorted body image perception and dissatisfaction during this stage can contribute to both medical and psychological disorders. In today’s culture, with an increasing emphasis on the ideal body image, teenagers and young adults often engage in weight-related behaviours to attain their desired physique. The primary objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of body image dissatisfaction among students and examine its association with various factors, particularly self-esteem. The findings of the study provide support for the hypothesis that body image dissatisfaction significantly influences self-esteem among college-aged individuals. To conduct the research, a quantitative methodology was employed, ensuring a standardized approach where all participants received the same set of questions. The questionnaire consisted of three sections: Section A collected demographic data such as name, gender, and age; Section B included the 16-item Physical Appearance State and Trait Anxiety Scale (PASTAS); and Section C contained the 10-item Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). Based on the outcomes, further research in this area is recommended. Keywords: self-esteem, body image, dissatisfaction

Data was collected using a Google Form questionnaire, which facilitated easy submission and automated data storage. The questionnaire employs a closedended format, presenting respondents with multiple answer choices from which they select the option that best represents them. It consists of two parts: Part A encompasses the demographic profile, including informed consent, while Part B incorporates questions from the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS) to assess depression levels among undergraduate students. By considering gender as a measurement variable with equal representation of female and male students, the study aims to explore potential variations in depression levels across different fields of study. Certain courses may subject students to significant pressures, including assignments, learning methods, classmates, and the overall academic environment. This study seeks to investigate the factors contributing to the extent and nature of depression levels among undergraduate students, with the ultimate goal of raising awareness and developing intervention and support strategies. Through the findings, it was hoped to shed light on this issue and promote student well-being in academic settings. Keyword: Depression, Stress, Anxiety, gender, Risk Factors
7. THE COMPARISON OF THREE MAIN PARENTING STYLES NUR SHAMIERA BINTI MOHAMAD SHAMSUL AZHAR MIMI HAFIZA DZUREENA BINTI MD DOM NATASYA AMEERA BINTI ABDUL MALIK KHAIRUNNISA BINTI NOR AZMI ABSTRACT When it comes to parenting, there is a great deal of diversity among families. Cultural backgrounds have a major impact on how the family unit exists and how children are reared. The study aimed to analyse and contrast the three basic parenting styles, namely authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive parenting. The target participants for this study are adults aged 20 and older, including parents of both genders, as their experiences provide valuable insights into various stages of parenthood. In this study, a survey was used as a practical and effective tool to gather the required data. A thorough questionnaire with 12 well-chosen questions was distributed to participants via Google Form. The Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 5, was employed to assess respondents’ viewpoints. Each item required participants to indicate their level of agreement or disagreement, with 1 representing “strongly disagree”, and 5 indicating “strongly agree”. The collected data will be properly analysed using a t-test, a statistical technique that permits the comparison of implies after data collection. We can find any significant changes in responses related to various parenting styles using this analytical approach. Our study uses a quantitative approach to measure and evaluate the data, allowing us to make statistical assumptions and generate practical recommendations. To ensure the validity and compatibility of the questions used in the Google Form with the theories and traits associated with each parenting style, extensive research was conducted from reputable web sources. This approach guarantees that our research is founded on well-established and reliable metrics, thus enhancing the validity and reliability of our conclusions.

9. CAMPUS LIFE SATISFACTION EFFECT STRESS LEVEL AMONG TWO UNIVERSITIES AHMAD DANIAL ZAKWAN BIN SAFUAN WAN MUHAMMAD SYAQIRIN BIN ROSLI MUHAMMAD AFIQ FARHAN BIN MOHD FITRI ABSTRACT Students majorly experience stress in their daily life. 40% of United State of America students’ college and university admit to feeling inadequately rested five out of seven days a week (Imed Bouchrika, Phd, 2023). Another statement that around 500 Japanese students below the age of 20 kill themself each year (The Asahi Shimbun, 2023). This number shows that the majority of students face stress in their daily life. Facing this every day, some groups of students may experience more stress than others based on their course, academics and the campus life (Frontier in Psychology, 2022). The study aims to understand how campus’s life satisfaction affects stress levels among Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). UNISEL will represent private university and UiTM will represent public university. A purposive sampling approach via quantitative methodology was used to collect the data for this research. The validity of the questionnaire is measured by Likert Scale 1-4. This project aims to investigate how student stress can relate with campus life satisfaction. The questionnaire of the interview is presented after the process of SME and CVR that will be revealed in the upcoming chapter. Finally, future researchers are encouraged to study this issue with other university students to gain more perspective and new knowledge in the time to come.

Social media is an internationally recognised and frequently utilised form of social communication. The use of social media by university students has a big impact on their academic. Previous studies noted that students tend to become more addicted the more time they spend on social media. As university students like to spend time on it, it may have either beneficial or negative consequences on their academic. The study of social media use towards academic among students in Malaysia across gender is the current focus. A well-designed questionnaire is used to gather information from 200 Malaysian students. They are chosen using a practical sampling process. For further research, the acquired data were evaluated using SPSS. This led the current study to assume that there was a strong correlation between university students’ social media use and their academic. To assess the data, descriptive statistics are used. According to the questionnaire, 77.1% of students used social media for non-academic purposes, with most of them going to the TikTok platform. The questionnaire also revealed that most students frequent visit social networking sites. The study finds that students are more drawn to social media than to their studies, and that time spent on social media and excessive use of it have a detrimental influence on when they study. 38.1% of respondents to the research agreed that using social media helped them complete their assignments, and 46.2% strongly agreed that social media help in their group project. According to the questionnaire, 39.5% strongly agreed that social media shortens their sleep duration and makes them drowsy.

11. MEANING IN LIFE AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENT NUR ANIS ATHIRAH BINTI MOHAMMAD ROHAIZAT SITI SOFEA AMIRA BINTI RAMLI SYIFA’ SADRINA BINTI MAT TAIB NATASHA BINTI JOHARI ABSTRACT This case study investigates the concept of meaning in life among university students, aiming to gain a nuanced understanding of their experiences, perceptions, and challenges about this fundamental aspect of human existence. By employing quantitative research methods this study delves into the unique narratives and perspectives of a diverse group of university students. The findings of this case study highlight the multi-dimensional nature of meaning in life among university students. The analysis reveals that meaning in life is shaped by a complex interplay of various factors, including academic pursuits, personal values, relationships, future aspirations, and existential concerns. The participants’ narratives underscore the significance of finding purpose and significance in their studies, extracurricular activities, and social connections. Moreover, the case study sheds light on the challenges faced by university students in their search for meaning. Participants discussed the pressure to conform to societal expectations, feelings of uncertainty about their future paths, and the struggle to balance academic demands with personal growth. Additionally, existential questions about the purpose of education, personal identity, and the meaning of life itself emerged as recurrent themes in the participants’ narratives. The implications of these findings for university student well-being and personal development are significant.

12. SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION AMONG STUDENTS IN SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT AT UNIVERSITY SELANGOR (UNISEL) NUR ATHIRAH BT NURIL ANWAR NUR NASALILA SALSABILA BT ZAINOL DAMIA ALISSA BT MOHD ZAINI NAOMI S. YASSUPILLAI ABSTRACT Addiction to social media may lead to a number of detrimental effects, including low self-esteem, worry or desperation, higher levels of loneliness, less physical activities, and decreased productivity or academic performance. This study aims to investigate the level of social media addiction among students in the Social Sciences Department at the Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) . A social media platform is an online tool that enables users to exchange text and media content with other users through online networks and communities. In contrast, social media addiction is a behavioural habit in which a person utilises social media obsessively and excessively. Social media is addictive due to its significant effects on the brain, a process that has also been shown in drug use disorders. This study was carried out using a quantitative approach. The typical method in quantitative research is to ask each respondent the same set of questions in order to guarantee that the entire data sample can be fairly analysed. The information given is presented quantitatively and statistically. Besides that, simple random sampling was used, where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. Our targeted populations are UNISEL students who are enrolled in programs offered under the Social Sciences Department. A Google Form questionnaire was utilised as the instrument to gather data for the survey and is accessible online through a particular application such as WhatsApp and Telegram. The questionnaire is divided into two sections: part A, which consists of respondent’s age and email, and part B, which consist of 27 questions regarding the signs of social media addiction. Fifteen respondents were obtained, and SPSS was used to input the data. According to the findings, the Cronbach Alpha for social media addiction is 0.938. Additional research is recommended.

13. PERCEPTION OF GENDER STEREOTYPES AMONG STUDENTS IN THE FACULTY OF EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, UNIVERSITI SELANGOR SHARMILAH RAGU KIRRTHANA SATHEESH KUMAR SHEKINAH JOSEPH NATHASHAHV ARAVINDRAN ABSTRACT The goal of this study was to measure how gender stereotypes were seen by students at Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) in the environment of the Faculty of Education and Social Sciences. Generally speaking, the term “gender stereotyping” refers to a generalised belief or preconception about the traits or qualities that men and women should or should not possess, or the roles that men and women should or should not perform. Socially created interpretations about female and male traits or behaviours are known as gender stereotypes, and they are reinforced through social interactions and media representations. When gender is acted in ways that are not conventional, people frequently take actions that serve to reinforce prejudices about how gender should be performed. As males show their masculinity and punish female partners who are perceived to be challenging their feminine position, they victimise women, which reinforces gender stereotypes. Students from the Diploma in Psychology programme at the Faculty of Education and Social Sciences at UNISEL participated in this research project. It was designed to reveal the perspectives of students in the Faculty of Education and Social Sciences on gender stereotypes through a research survey. A set of questionnaires were administered to these students, including section A for demographic data and section B for the 60-item Bem Sex-Role Inventory Index (BSRI) (Bem, 1974). Results revealed that students’ lived experiences with this issue have changed how they view their present and future, and that they perceive gender stereotypes differently than previous generations because they believe that they belong to a new generation that does not distinguish between genders.
