Publication Characterizations of a single rod electrode under high impulse currents with different polarities(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) ;Etobi A.N. ;Nor N.M. ;Abdullah S. ;Eng N.E.Othman M.Under high impulse currents, an earthing system exhibits different impulse characteristics depending on the shape and/or design configuration of the earthing system. These characteristics have been seen to be different with respect to its steady-state as highlighted in many studies. Furthermore, in order to ascertain that a correct design of an electrical system is achieved, it is important to evaluate the impulse characteristics of the earthing system under high impulse conditions. So far little emphasis has been given in previous publications to investigate the characteristics of earthing systems under high impulse conditions by field measurements. For this reason, a rather efficient and reliable technique to solve this problem is by conducting a practical analysis (field experiment). This paper investigates the characteristics of a single rod electrode under high impulse conditions by field measurements under different polarities. The single rod is selected in this paper for its simple configuration and installation. It was observed in this study that the resistance of the single rod earthing system was seen to reduce with increasing current magnitudes for both polarities and negative polarity has higher impulse resistance than that of positive polarity. � 2017 IEEE. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Cognitive distortion, depression and self-esteem among adolescents rape victims(2011) ;Abdullah S. ;Salleh A. ;Mahmud Z. ;Ahmad J. ;Ghani S.A. ;Faculty of Leadership and Management ;Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)The study investigated the relationship among cognitive distortion, depression and self- Cognitive Distortion Scale (CDS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Pearson's correlation indicated a positive correlation between cognitive distortion and depression and negative correlations of cognitive distortion and depression with self-esteem. The results suggested that all self-criticism, self-blame and hopelessness predict helplessness. The result also suggested that helplessness and self-criticism predict depression. Depression and helplessness were found to predict self-esteem. The paper concludes rape victim are likely to experience a certain degree of cognitive distortion, implying that rape victims need support to recover. Further studies should include coping strategies and intervention. � IDOSI Publications, 2011. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Enjoyable and meaningful learning for indigenous knowledge and sustainability among indigenous people in Sungai Lui(American Scientific Publishers, 2017) ;Sipon S. ;Abdullah S. ;Sabran R. ;Hussin R. ;Hayati S. ;Mokhtar A.N. ;Mahyuddin M.K. ;Arshad A.S.Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)Studies reveal that the dropout rate and absenteeism among the indigenous (Orang Asli) school children in Malaysia is high compared to the national average. It is found that for every 100 Orang Asli children entering Primary 1, only about 6 will be expected to reach Form 5 eleven years later. This study examines the intervention of an 'Enjoyable and Meaningful Learning Module' to reduce the rate of dropout and absenteeism among the subjects. The subjects were selected from a group of Orang Asli school children in Sungai Lui, from primary year 1 to year 6, aged between 6 to 12 years old. The intervention was conducted in April and May 2015. The success of this module was based on strategies that link or connect new learning to the subjects previous experiences which relate the daily concepts to their lives. The strategies also provide them with hand-onlearning. The findings of the study showed that the school attendance of the subjects increased after the two months intervention. A major implication of this study is that Orang Asli could learn better through indigenous language, arts, rituals, folklore, traditional games and taboos. 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Influence of remote earth and impulse polarity on earthing systems by field measurement(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2018) ;Abdullah S. ;Nor N.M. ;Agbor N. ;Reffin M. ;Othman M. ;Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment ;Multimedia UniversityUniversiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)There has been a vast vacuum in the literature on the importance of the location of remote earth carried out during impulse test on grounding systems using field measurements. Some published work show that the remote earth is installed surrounding the electrode under tests, whilst some have used separate remote earth, away from it. This work studies the impact of return electrode location on transient behaviour of the earthing electrode. The electrode under test is a single rod. Two types of remote earth configurations are used, a circular electrode with multiple rods surrounding the single rod, and one that is 80 m away from it. Impulse tests are conducted under both impulse polarities. Voltage and current traces are captured for a single rod, using two different types of remote earth configurations, with the impulse resistance measured as well. It has been established that the arrangement of the remote earth poses no influence on the test results. That said, higher oscillations of current traces and higher resistance values have been observed in negative impulse in comparison with positive impulse polarities. � The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2018. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Internationalisation and its implications for intercultural maturity among academic staff: A case study(2011) ;Mustafa J. ;Sulehan J. ;Pawanteh L. ;Abdullah S. ;Basri H. ;Muchtar A. ;Mastor K.A. ;Abd Ghani Z. ;Axel H. ;Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) ;Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)Universitat Duisburg-EssenThe process of internationalisation can in many ways assist staff in being interculturally matured through prolong and accumulative intercultural communication experiences. Staff may undergo a gradual transformation towards being interculturally matured - thus the emergence of an intercultural personhood. Intercultural personhood coined by Kim (2008), describes individuals who move beyond the bounds of their own cultural beings and heritage to accept both their formal cultural identity and host identity. This paper explores an internationalisation project between two universities namely Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) in Germany and how this project has internationalised staff and altogether making them more interculturally matured. The findings explain the cycle of staff who initially practice only one culture, communicates with the environment, co-evolves in the new environment thus illustrating identity changes through their live experiences to become persons with multicultural traits. � 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Moral value inventory for Muslim Adolescents(Elsevier Ltd, 2010) ;Abdullah S. ;Salleh A. ;Mahmud Z. ;Ghani S.Abd. ;Faculty of Leadership and Management ;Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)The paper reports a validity and reliability study on a newly developed Moral Value Inventory for Muslim Adolescent (MVIMA). Analysis of data using 107 subjects showed a high general relialibity (.95), and the nine sub-scales (patience, gratefulness, humility, respecfulness, positive regard, honesty, love, tawakal, sincerity and taqwa) shows reliability value ranging between .72 to .84. The convergence validity for the sub-scales were significantly correlated (.36 to .72; p<.01). Factor analysis identified four factors (self-spiritual, self-social, social-spiritual, and self). Forty eight items with factor loading between .413-.657 of 99 original items were retained in the final inventory. � 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Personality traits orientation of University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and UKM - University Duisburg-Essen (UDE) engineering students(2011) ;Mastor K.A. ;Sulehan J. ;Mustafa J. ;Pawanteh L. ;Basri H. ;Abdullah S. ;Mokthtar A. ;Ghani Z.A. ;Axel H. ;Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) ;Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)Universitat Duisburg-EssenThe study aims to investigate the personality trait orientation of engineering students at UKM, alumni and the current students participating in the UKM-UDE double degree program. It is hypothesized that personality trait profile might be different between these respondents due to different academic, social and cultural background the students experienced. A total number of 54 respondents (19 alumni, 12 current students and 23 potential UKM engineering students) participated in the study. The 44 Big Five Inventory (John et al, 1991) was used to assess the personality profile. Data analyzed indicated some significant differences as expected. The current UKM-UDE engineering students were high on Neuroticism than those of UKM engineering students and UKM-UDE alumni. The alumni and current UKM-UDE students scored lower on Extraversion compared to the current local UKM engineering students. Current and the alumni of the UKM-UDE students scored higher on Openness than the current UKM engineering students. Overall findings suggest that environmental and socio-cultural factor play important role in the development of personal characteristics. Implications of the study on the benefits of the student mobility and exchange program were also discussed. � 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Serial warfare in al-maghrib and al-andalus (8-11TH centuries CE) based on record of Spanish islam by reinhart dozy (1820-1883CE)(IAEME Publication, 2017) ;Jamsari E.A. ;Talib N.M. ;Abdullah S. ;Sulaiman A. ;Centre of Core Studies ;Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) ;Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)This article discusses the serial warfare, specifically, in al-Maghrib and al-Andalus, which is one of the main themes in the analysis of the historical masterpiece by Reinhart Dozy, namely, Spanish Islam: A History of the Muslims in Spain. In this regard, the research objective is to showcase a brief background of Dozy and his writing, Spanish Islam. In addition, the purpose of this reseach is to examine the serial battles which occurred in North Africa and al-Andalus from the 8th to 11th centuries CE based on Spanish Islam. This research uses a qualitative approach through historical study and content analysis by examining Dozy's work, Spanish Islam, and other related sources. Research results argue that Dozy was one of the 19th century CE Dutch Orientalists renowned for his study in the field of history and lexicography. His study of the Islamic history and civilization in al-Maghrib and al-Andalus enabled him to accomplish his magnum opus, Spanish Islam: A History of the Muslims in Spain, which recorded the historical sequence of Muslim politics and military conflict in al-Maghrib and al-Andalus until the year 1110CE. � IAEME Publication.
