It is acknowledged that the volume of electronic records (e-records) creaƟon and transacƟon has significantly increased due to government’s iniƟaƟve to fully implement the electronic government (e-government). However, there are issues in handling and managing the vast amount of e-records creaƟon and transacƟon. Part of the issues is the preservaƟon of enƟre metadata of e-records generated and transacted for daily business acƟviƟes. To date, research work conducted in addressing the issues of handling the e-records are focusing more on the creaƟon and management of e-records within its lifecycle. In fact, the aspect of preserving the enƟre e-records metadata generated during daily business transacƟon acƟviƟes are not aƩended by scholars in records management. Subsequently, the issues of authenƟcity of e-records arises or remain unsolved as the non-authenƟcate e-records metadata incapable to be used as evidence in any legal obligaƟon or dispute. Stemming from this non-authenƟcate e-records metadata issue, a case assessment on e-record metadata creaƟon and preservaƟon was conducted at Malaysia Government Agencies (MGA). Based on the assessment, it has found that the exisƟng MGA’s Electronic Records Management System (ERMS) applicaƟon was incapable to properly capture and preserve the changes, access, and modificaƟon of the e-records event history metadata. Considering the incapability, this study progresses to formulate metadata model for e-records which capable to capture and preserve the enƟre e-records event history metadata. The formulaƟon of e-records metadata model and event history metadata. The formulaƟon of e-records metadata begins with an-depth review of the literature. The reviews have resulted in idenƟficaƟon of nineteen (19) elements namely event TiƩle, event Date/Time, event DescripƟon, event Type, event AdministraƟve History, event IdenƟfier, event IdenƟfier Type, event IdenƟfier Value, event Detail, event Sequence, event Outcome InformaƟon, event Outcome Detail, event Outcome Detail Note, event Outcome Detail Extension, event Next Occurrence, event Plan, event RelaƟon, and event Trigger. Upon idenƟfying those 19 elements as a model for event history metadata, eight (8) experts from the NaƟonal Archives of Malaysia were approach to examine and verify the model. The verificaƟon process uses face-to-face interview techniques. The interview revealed that out of 19, eight (8) elements (event TiƩle, event Date/Time, event Type, event IdenƟfier, event Detail, event Outcome InformaƟon, event RelaƟon and event Trigger) were verified and acknowledged as criƟcal elements of event history metadata. The analysis also found two (2) new elements (Maintenance History and Maintenance Event) proposed by experts that resulted in ten (10) event history metadata elements in total. The ten (10) elements verified by experts was further taken into prototype for validaƟon purpose. The prototype was developed using PHP with MySQL database. The tesƟng of event history metadata prototype was conducted by four (4) MGA staffs (Records Manager and AdministraƟon Officer) who created and transacted the e-records within two (2) different departments. The report generated from the prototype show that, the ten (10) elements are proven capable to preserve the enƟre changes of e-records as acknowledged by those six (6) MGA staffs. The achievement of authenƟcity of e-records event history metadata implies that the model PreservaƟon Electronic Records Event History Metadata (PEREHM) with it ten (10) elements resolves the issues of non-authenƟcate e-records metadata useful for represenƟng the authenƟcity of electronic record against legal issue.

This PhD study investigates the selection of plant species to create multi-species plant communities in Malaysian urban spaces, to develop a research tool to investigate public responses to spatial disorder and complexity in those planting communities. Eighteen species of mainly Malaysian tropical herbaceous perennial forbs have been selected on the basis of ecological, horticultural and aesthetic traits. These were used to create a gradient of communities with different levels of plant diversity. The work's overall purpose is to explore whether using these naturalistic plant communities as a contemporary, potentially more sustainable form of planting design is suitable in tropical climates involving a twelve-month growing season and very high growth and change rates. A preliminary assessment of the extent to which the tropical species in the communities are increasing, stable or decreasing in response to the management regime in operation is explained. Key species factors that underpin these behaviours were reviewed. Assessment through survey methods on the response of the maintenance staff involved and the general public to these communities are also provided. The study is in 2 parts. Part 1 involves vegetation types planted in three different spatial arrangements at two sites across social class, income, and educational gradients in an urban setting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Responses and feedback were obtained from questionnaires through a survey conducted at two selected public parks in Malaysia were presented to answer the research questions. Part 2 is another round of responses and feedback through the questionnaire survey, 12 months after planting. The respondents' response to the plots in both parks depicted that they perceived these three variable combinations as designs that they preferred and should widely be planted all around Malaysia. Low diversity vegetation is arranged in a random design and planted in three layers of different heights: base, low emergent, and tall emergent layers. Factors influencing this analysis include how nature connected or knowledgeable they are about nature, how nature-loving or eco-centric they are, and whether they have the anthropocentric view (controllednature).

Social work educators’ competency is pivotal in promoting professional social work practice. The performance of the students reflects the capability of social work educators in delivering knowledge through the learning sessions. The main aim of this study is to critically examine the competency needs in academics, skills, and training among social work educators in Malaysian public universities. The study attempts to get the insights on the current development of social work education in Malaysia, skills needed among social work educators and intervention strategies that could enhance competencies among social work educators. This study employs a qualitative approach in gathering data. A semi-structured interview protocol is used in conducting in-depth interview among twenty social work educators in seven public higher institutions in gathering extensive information on the academic, skills and training. There were also three key informants interviewed to get a view on the current social work practice in Malaysia. The findings indicated that there are seven main themes and twenty-two sub-themes emerged in this study. Among the main themes are training and development, academic qualifications, skills, knowledge, individual factors, structural factors and training intervention strategies. This study assured that hands-on practice is one of the ultimate competency skills need to be acquired by social work educators in teaching social work programmes or subjects. The findings confirmed that the critical competency deficit among social work educators is in the training and development area. Hence, the results are valuable and significant in proposing for training and development intervention strategies that would better enhance the competency standard of social work educators in Malaysian public universities.

Cooking activities are known to generate pollutants in the indoor environment which can cause adverse health effects to the occupants. Poor ventilation systems from inefficient mechanical means as well as limited openings would further affect the indoor air quality in an indoor environment to the level which is hazardous to health. Adverse health effects among occupants from poor indoor air quality include respiratory problems, fatigue, heavy-headed, headache, skin, eye and throat irritation, asthma or even death. This study aims to characterise the indoor air environment at small and medium industries which conducting cooking activities as lack of studies were identified in this sector. Three different cooking methods (frying, boiling and baking) were studied at 14 small and medium (SMEs) food industries selected in Pulau Pinang. The concentration level of IAQ parameters which include particulate matter in diameter 2.5, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, total volatile organic compounds as well as temperature and relative humidity were measured in-situ through working hours for two consecutive days using EVM-7 and IQ-610 Graywolf. The measurements were then compared to the available standards. Air change rate were measured and the IAQ determinants factors at the food SMEs were observed and identified. These include the cooking methods, types of ventilation systems adopted, type of fuel and cooking devices used and operations of exhaust fan. Besides that, questionnaire survey was administered among SMEs workers to identify the perceived IAQ symptoms. From the results, CO2, temperature and relative humidity were found to be higher than the standard limits permitted at the three different cooking methods. To add to that, there were inadequate air change per hour which were less than 20 ACH as required by the Factory and Machinery Act (1967) which shows major problem in SMEs food industries. IAQ perceived symptoms among workers were higher in frying food SMEs although the study found that boiling SMEs had higher number of concentration of pollutants. This study provides evidence that there is correlation between the level of IAQ parameters with types of ventilation and other determinants. From the analysis of one-way ANOVA, the concentration of IAQ parameters at the SMEs food industries were related to types of cooking methods, types of ventilation system, type of fuel and cooking devices. Operation of exhaust fan however indicate no effect on CO2 and temperature level. Through Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) analysis, CO2 indicated the highest pollutant to cause complaints by workers followed by CO, temperature and relative humidity. The IAQ in SMEs food industries were poor due to inadequate ventilation systems which affecting the health of the workers. The study indicates the need of immediate corrective actions on indoor air quality and ventilation system towards SMEs food industry. This study provides a preliminary research towards providing a proper procedure and guideline for SMEs food industries. This study also suggests that future research to focus on boiling and frying SMEs with CO2, CO, temperature and relative humidity to be given emphasize. Simulation study related to these parameters might also be considered.

Arcing fault overvoltage is one of the most common problem that always occur in both low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) systems. The arc fault overvoltage in high voltage system is the most dangerous which can easily cause explosion of electrical components such as cable, transformers, switchgears and other equipment. The cause of arc fault overvoltage is due to the loosen cable terminaƟon at bus bar and transformers terminal, cable joinƟng and others. In order to reduce the arc fault risk, the arc circuit interrupter (AFSI) technology and arc fault detectors (AFD) have been developed. However, these devices are more suited for LV or domesƟc applicaƟon. For applicaƟons in medium voltage (MV), a new arc fault sensor is needed to overcome this problem. Frequent arcing fault overvoltage can cause an interrupƟon of the electrical system which may breakdown the system. Thus, to overcome this maƩer, the arcing fault sensor was developed in this research. The Rogowski coil (RC) which is one of the inducƟve coil group was selected as the arc fault detecƟon sensor. Finite Element Method (FEM) was used for electromagneƟc flux density, B analysis on RC geometrical and number of turns effect by modelling three different types of RC which are the rectangular, oval and circular cross-secƟon. Based on FEM simulaƟon results, the rectangular cross-secƟon of RC had the highest electromagneƟc flux density among the circular and oval cross-secƟon. The mutual inductance calculaƟon of rectangular cross-secƟon has also been performed and compared to the FEM simulaƟon results. There were seven (7) rectangular cross-secƟon RC sensor prototypes that were fabricated using three-dimensional (3D) printer with various number of turns ranging from 20 to 100 with the cross-secƟonal area ranging between 200 mm2 and 1050 mm2. The acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) material was selected as the RC sensor core because it has low conducƟvity, categorized as an insulator, adequate rigidity, good thermal stability, exhibit high toughness even in cold condiƟons, chemical resistance, environment stress cracking and excellent mechanical properƟes. The sensor performance verificaƟon in terms of sensiƟvity and bandwidth was conducted with an experimental measurement that was done in the high voltage lab. Based on the experimental results, the RC sensor prototype RC2A5 (fabricated in this research) which has the highest number of turns (100 turns) produced excellent sensiƟvity at 0.56 kV/mA. However, the bandwidth of RC2A5 descended to 3.51 MHz which is the lowest bandwidth. Whereas, by reducing the number of turns to 20, the RC sensor prototype RC2A1(fabricated in this research) ascended to 7.93 MHz which is the highest bandwidth, but its sensiƟvity drops rapidly to 0.30 kV / mA. From the obtained results, it can be concluded that that the lower number of turns produced beƩer bandwidth for the RC sensor but reduces the sensor sensiƟvity significantly. The best RC sensor developed in this work was proposed to be used as an arc fault overvoltage measuring sensor for the future.

Prudent financial management is a critical factor to achieve better financial well-being. The failure of many individuals in managing their finances, resulting in bankruptcy, distress and divorce. Recognizing the importance of financial management practices as a roadmap towards future financial well-being, a study on young and newly married couples is imperative. This study intends to attain a profound understanding of financial management practices among urban Malays young couples. This study also deliberates the understanding of these couples on financial well-being. It takes the phenomenological approach and analyses qualitative data collected through a series of in-depth interviews. The interviews explore the actual experience of five couples in managing day-to-day household finances in terms of the resource management system, distribution of household financial responsibilities, expenditure control, savings and investment preferences, enabling richer data to be obtained. The study also sought to uncover the couples’ understanding of financial well-being. Several financial management practices themes emerged from the data. The study indicated that managing finances is a process which needs to be implemented at a young age. Therefore, the findings suggested that families form an effective way of controlling the flow of money as soon as they enter into marriage. In fact, activities performed by these couples were driven by the state of affairs and desire to achieve financial independence. Therefore, the wisdom in managing finances at present and the prudently crafted initiative steps for their long-term planning are seen as a roadmap towards achieving a higher level of financial well-being in the future. The financial viability is realized with the idea of controlling spending activities, thrifty, vigilant and diligently making this process a regular routine. In addition, adherence to religious teachings is also an important pillar in balancing the well-being of life on a wider concept.

NURUL ASHYKIN BINTI ABD AZIZ PhD / 2020 Over the last few decades, franchising has become a well-known platform for business expansion, and a strategy employed by many franchisors to expand their business into international market. Existing literatures only focus on Western and developed countries’ perspectives, and utilise theories like Agency Theory, Resources Scarcity Theory and Transaction Cost Theory. Hence, the expansion process of Malaysian franchisors into international market, especially those in developing countries are still unclearly understood. Additionally, Malaysian studies on Malaysian franchisors are still inadequate, particularly on the specific model of franchisors’ expansion into international market. Therefore, an understanding of the expansion process of Malaysian franchisors into International market is important. Thus, this study aims to identify the process of Malaysian franchisors’ expansion into international market, the fostering factors, as well as the barriers encountered by them during the expansion process. To achieve these objectives, grounded theory is used for the data collection and analysis, since it is more structured, inductive, and able to address the emerging theories from new perspectives. Participants of the study were Malaysian franchisor key personnel who are successful in the international market. The data were collected from 13 semi-structured interviews and were analysed using open, axial, and selective coding. The findings show that the value proposition, and government assistance are new fostering factors that emerged from the grounded data. Additionally, this study also found new barriers when the Malaysian franchisors expand into international market - the supply chain and the confronted global competition. Importantly, this study proposes a new model of international expansion by integrating other theories that can explain the context of this study, namely the Agency Theory, Resource Scarcity Theory, Resource Based View Theory, Transaction Cost Theory, Theory of the Firm, Network Theory, Value Creation Theory, Institutional Theory, Partnership Theory and Resource Dependency Theory. The process of international expansion model is comprised of three levels of process,namely pre-expansion, expansion, and post-expansion. The findings are also expected to assist the government, the agencies involved with franchising, and the Malaysian franchisors in Malaysia in improving international expansion policies, strategies, and programmes. In brief, this study contributes to the formation of a comprehensive process model by integrating several theories in the field of franchising and international business. In practice, this study contributes to the understanding of the expansion process to franchisors who wish or intend to expand into the international market, and also to the government to provide more initiatives. The implications and limitations of the study are reviewed, and some suggestions for future research are also presented.

Ikan Kembung India (Rastrelliger kanagurta) adalah ikan epipelagik yang merupakan salah satu sumber marin komersil yang terpenting di perairan Zon Ekonomi Eksklusif (ZEE) Malaysia di Laut Cina Selatan (LCS). Permintaan tinggi terhadap sumber perikanan merupakan cabaran bagi nelayan untuk mencapai sasaran pendaratan ikan yang optima serta variasi dalam perubahan iklim akan memberi impak pada produktiviti dan taburan ikan R. kanagurta. Kajian ini menggunakan data tangkapan ikan, data satelit klorofil-a (chl-a) dan suhu permukaan laut (SST) (MODIS-Aqua), ketinggian permukaan laut SSH (AVISO) dan kelajuan angin (QuickScat) 2008 hingga 2010, 2019. Penyelidikan ini bertujuan menentukan taburan reruang dan kelimpahan ikan R. kanagurta di perairan ZEE LCS menggunakan kaedah analisis komponen prinsipal (PCA) dan analisis kluster (CA). Seterusnya menentukan julat kesesuaian chl-a, SST dan SSH bagi ikan R. kanagurta menggunakan analisis kekerapan dan indeks kesesuaian (SI), mendapatkan perhubungan di antara taburan ikan dengan chl-a, SST dan SSH yang dibina melalui permodelan “boosted regression trees” (BRT) dan akhirnya meramalkan impak perubahan iklim terhadap kawasan potensi penangkapan ikan R. kanagurta berdasarkan pengunjuran suhu IPCC-AR5-RCPs. Hasil analisis PCA mengenalpasti dua komponen prinsipal yang mempunyai nilai eigen >1 (PC1 dan PC2) dengan nilai peratus kumulatif varians 59.3%, manakala CA mengenalpasti dua kluster tangkapan ikan di mana nilai purata tangkapan ikan masing-masing sebanyak 350.7 kg/m³ (Januari, April, Mei, Julai dan Oktober) dan 1033.9 kg/m³ (April, Mei, September dan Oktober). Taburan tinggi bagi ikan R. kanagurta diasosiasikan dengan julat kesesuaian chl-a di antara 0.25 - 0.42 mg/m³, SST di antara 29.2ºC – 30.2° C dan SSH di antara 1.15 -1.2 m. Pemodelan BRT menunjukkan bahawa kawasan potensi penangkapan ikan berkait rapat dengan SSH (40.18%), SST (37.14%) dan chl-a (22.67%). Pemetaan kawasan berpotensi bagi pengumpulan ikan R. kanagurta didapati terletak di sepanjang perairan pantai Semenanjung Malaysia pada permulaan dan akhir musim Monsun Barat Daya dengan ketepatan 83.68% dengan nilai kappa 0.7 bagi SI dan AUC 0.75 bagi BRT. Impak perubahan suhu terhadap kawasan potensi penangkapan ikan R. kanagurta menunjukkan penambahan kawasan potensi penangkapan ikan berlaku pada monsun Timur Laut terutamanya pada kenaikan suhu 1.80ºC. Manakala, kenaikan suhu 1.80ºC, 2.60ºC & 3.30ºC menyebabkan pengurangan kawasan potensi penangkapan ikan R. kanagurta dimana kawasan potensi penangkapan ikan dilihat bergerak ke luar kawasan ZEE pada monsun peralihan dan monsun Barat Daya. Pendekatan yang digunakan berupaya menghasilkan permodelan perubahan suhu ke atas kawasan potensi penangkapan ikan R. kanagurta. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa variasi parameter persekitaran akibat perubahan monsun mempengaruhi taburan ikan R. kanagurta. Memahami perkaitan ini berupaya menyumbang kepada maklumat dalam perangkaan strategi pengurusan sumber perikanan yang lebih lestari dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim.
