Many countries have taken the initiative to lockdown their country to control the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. The knowledge, attitudes and practice (KAP) on COVID-19 plays a vital role to decide whether this lockdown movement was effective. A total of 37 students participated in a survey to see how far the student's awareness about KAP towards COVID-19 was conducted online between July, 7th until 12th, 2020. The questionnaire included demographic characteristics consist of eighteen items knowledge A, eight items knowledge B, fifteen items on attitude and twelve items on practices. Data collection conducted using the quantitative method from the online survey. The results indicate that students in Sabah have strong knowledge of COVID-19 and a manageable solution to resolving the pandemic.

Working while studying is common, with at least half of all students taking a paid job at some point throughout their studies. By combining working and studying simultaneously will impact the academic performance of students. The main issues are the consequences of working while studying, which results in declining academic performance. This study aimed to identify possible reasons that cause students to work and study simultaneously, assess the correlation between work and academic performance, and determine the main barriers students face as they work and study. Using quantitative method, data was collected from 218 students from undergraduate and postgraduate, who have experienced study while working. Results show that most students agreed that working while studying correlates with academic performance. Furthermore, it is necessary to learn about the positive and negative effects of their efforts that distract them all this time. Having known all, these factors helped this study develop a good strategy for maintaining a better life while working and studying simultaneously.

Throughout the history of the vegetable industry in Sabah, farmers in rural areas, especially in Kundasang, have faced intermittent a problem to market the vegetables and fruits from their farms. This problem has intensified during this Covid-19 pandemic and probably beyond this period, as consumers and middle persons are limited due to the movement control order (MCO) to curb the disease but also because of the self-imposed discipline by households to travel less frequently to avoid being contracted with the disease. Farmers who usually sell their produce wholesale to hotels and restaurants directly or through distributors have an excess of highly perishable produce. Established vegetable supply chains, whether direct wholesale in contract farming, government agency intermediaries, or private intermediaries, are not active during the MCO. The MCO does not restrict the Inter-district movement of vegetables; however, farmers, particularly smallholders, do not have enough appropriate paperwork, networking, communications, assets, pricing strategy know-how, and financial resources to move their vegetables in high demand, i.e., households. These farmers also lack technological knowledge to extend the shelf life of their produce. To date, on-site scaled-up industrial factory to process their vegetables and fruit harvests is not economically sustainable. It is expected that the loss of income during the MCO will jeopardize smallholder farmers’ ability to make a comeback after the MCO and Covid-19 are over. Because of the same MCO, households, on the other hand, could not purchase vegetables and fruits, as supermarkets and fresh markets have limited operating hours, while night markets, Tamu, and roadside vendors are all closed. This unexpected poor supply of vegetables could lead to a bigger health issue since, as a whole, Sabahan and the larger Malaysian society consume fewer vegetables and fruits than recommended for optimum health.

Tourist Guide application is a mobile application that will be useful for all visitors for a holiday. This application (app) is proposed to provide visitor information about attractive places. Through the app, visitors easily find out the most attractive places by using the map as the app will recommend visitors the top destination to visit. Thus, it is important as they do not have to waste their time seeking information about the location's place and details. The less attractive of the current system affects the user engagement. Thus, the gamification elements that will be implemented in the app can provide a new way of interaction and engagement in a fun and rewarding way. The elements of gamification that will be implemented are point, reward and challenge. The challenge or mini-game, such as quizzes, will make visitors go to the location to find the answers. Not only that, but the visitors also may receive some reward based on the point they collect for each of the correct answers they give. Hence, the app was developed to provide information about the attractions to users and encourage and motivate the users who visit the places. The methodology used for developing the Tourist Guide app is prototyping. The software will be developed in a few phases, including an initial requirement, design, prototyping, customer evaluation, review and update, and final system development.

The purpose of the paper is to study an instrument of gamification framework. This study focuses on gamification in e-learning, especially in early education; the ‘what’ and ‘how’ gamification can support e-learning within a community context. Gamification has taken someone popularity in the past few years in research in the context of education and business marketing. It has also gained interest from academics, educators, health management, employee engagement, civic engagement, and innovation. Gamification is an established practice and industry segment. Thus, because of the lack of children's engagement in the learning process and lack of motivation to learn, incorporating gamification has been acknowledged. It is hoped that these instruments will be useful for future research and the development of community learning applications using gamification.

This study investigates the effect of MCO on the mental health and productivity of students in a university. A questionnaire consisting of waking and sleeping hours, sleep quality, mental health self-evaluation, and productivity was randomly distributed through WhatsApp groups. The raw data were processed using statistical formulas such as mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, and regression. A total of 65 students participated in the survey and answered 70 questions. 83.08% of students say their sleep time on weekdays was impacted, while 89.23% of students say their sleep time on weekends was impacted. 76.92% and 80% of students reported that their wake-up time was affected on weekdays and weekends, respectively. The level of self-esteem, depression, and anxiety is considered average for the students' mood and emotions, while the students' level of appreciation appears high during MCO. Overall, it can be concluded that students' sleep quality influences the academic performance of students.

Blended learning is one of the learning methods used in any educational institution worldwide. It involves a combination of face-to-face learning and teaching with students using computer technology. Therefore, student engagement is essential to ensure the efficiency of blended learning. However, blended learning is found challenging where active collaboration between lecturers and students are highly needed to integrate learning. To overcome the issue, Polytechnic provides a Learning Management System known as the Curriculum Information Document Online System or known as CIDOS. CIDOS is a fully automated document management platform that manages the uploading, downloading, updating, and sharing digital content through a single integrated component. This study aims to determine the level of student engagement in blended learning at Polytechnic, Kota Kinabalu. A preliminary study with 125 students found that students are medium in the learning management system, which is CIDOS.

In this day and age, social media use is prevalent among millennial students. The relationship between student’s time spent on social media and their cumulative grade point average (CGPA) was investigated in this study. The questionnaire that is used for this survey is a telephone questionnaire and collected six details from the respondence. They are; (i) gender, (ii) current enrolled semester, (iii) the most commonly used social media platform, (iv) an approximation of time spent on the social media platform, (v) current year of study, and (vi) current CGPA. A correlational analysis method was proposed to investigate the strength of relationships that naturally occurs between time spent on social media and student’s academic performance. A hypothesis test has been conducted to further evaluate the significance of the relationship between time spent on social media and student’s academic performance. From the correlation analysis, there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate a relationship between student’s time spent on social media and their academic performance. Based on the study’s findings, the time spent by students on social media does not have a detrimental effect on student’s academic performance. The results suggest that there is another factor that contributes to the CGPA of students.

Digital technology is one of the technologies that has contributed to enhancing the user's daily life. It has transformed the nature of works in many ways since the beginning of the digital age. The study of UX in a product has been one way to improve the product to achieve better user satisfaction. The study aims to study UX in digital products in usability, personal acceptance, and social acceptance. The prior studies found that researchers agreed that the usability of the product could affect the user’s adoption of the product. Functionality is also found to play a big role in the user's personal acceptance. Moreover, we relate the user's social acceptance to promoting users' responsibility to the online community. The literature review was done using a comprehensive search of Science Direct, Mendeley, Springer Link, and Google Scholar using the “snowball” search and Boolean search strategies. Digital product industrialists were suggested to observe UX for product improvement to reach the user's satisfaction.

This paper presents the design and development of mobile apps with the integration of augmented reality technology to support science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning in the experiential learning context. A preliminary study on user experience testing was conducted towards 16 respondents of age between 6 - 9 years old. Based on a quantitative methodology and interpretative approach, it is found that the learning is more interesting and efficient in capturing student’s attention and promotes STEM learning with the use of the Augmented Reality (AR) technology. Prototyping methodology was used to develop the Fun with STEM mobile apps. This AR-TESG (AR Technology for Eco-Science Garden) project is a community-based project which aims to bridge the digital divide as well as to provide exposure in the usage and building AR-based content to SK Kundasang students in particular. They will be imparted with ICT skills which will improve their ICT literacy and STEM knowledge through AR applications.

The digital age has produced a plethora of diverse websites for web users to connect and use. Although E-Commerce advancement has grown immensely and became a valuable channel for the transaction of selling and purchasing activity between seller and customers, E-Commerce companies are faced with a highly competitive environment today with the flooding emergence of business going digital. An effective website is a significant factor in attracting and retaining customers’ absorption to promote purchasing behaviour. Additionally, user engagement is often associated with the workflow of E-Commerce due to its ability in influencing customers’ satisfaction. However, there is a lack of quantitative studies focusing on the construct of customer engagement observed. For these reasons, there is a need for the exploration to concentrate on the antecedents and consequences of the construct of user engagement to get an in-depth clarity on the aspect. Literature reviews performed demonstrates very few empirical studies focusing on E-Commerce as a contextual periphery of optimization of user engagement. Although user engagement has been widely highlighted in various fields for its significance, it is still a challenge for an E-Commerce business to optimize it as to lack of reference effectively. Theoretically, a good design constitutes factors of users’ satisfaction assimilation requirements and technical implementation. Therefore, understanding and fulfilling people’s demand is a fundamental design concept required to be implemented. Thus, this study aims to identify the elements of user engagement in E-Commerce through a preliminary review study. The results of the study show the identified and listed users’ engagement elements and the design elements that contributes to the user engagement elements. The extracted result of the study will benefit researchers and designers to produce an effective E-Commerce website that promotes engagement with the integration of user engagement

Cognitive impairment includes the lacking ability to remember things, disorientation in remembering the current location, and the struggle to find the correct word. People with dementia (PwD) are often involved in this impairment. With that being said, this project proposes the use of a mobile application to help in improving their cognitive issues. To tackle this problem, features and functionality of a mobile application specifically for dementia users are identified which contributes to the development of a diary application. Identifying and gathering features from previous studies was the initial method. Development of the diary application followed the software development life cycle (SDLC) waterfall method and evaluation of the application was experimented with identified dementia users. The findings of this project are the application set of guidelines gathered from literature into the diary application. Four verified dementia people were involved in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the application. The evaluation of the application includes some good points. Some parts of the application are pointed out for their unsuitable design and suggestions are given to improve the application in the later future.

It is hoped that these instruments will be useful for future research and the development of community learning applications using gamification.

This study investigates the effect of MCO on the mental health and productivity of students in a university. A questionnaire consisting of waking and sleeping hours, sleep quality, mental health self-evaluation, and productivity was randomly distributed through WhatsApp groups. The raw data were processed using statistical formulas such as mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, and regression. A total of 65 students participated in the survey and answered 70 questions. 83.08% of students say their sleep time on weekdays was impacted, while 89.23% of students say their sleep time on weekends was impacted. 76.92% and 80% of students reported that their wake-up time was affected on weekdays and weekends, respectively. The level of self-esteem, depression, and anxiety is considered average for the students' mood and emotions, while the students' level of appreciation appears high during MCO. Overall, it can be concluded that students' sleep quality influences the academic performance of students.

Blended learning is one of the learning methods used in any educational institution worldwide. It involves a combination of face-to-face learning and teaching with students using computer technology. Therefore, student engagement is essential to ensure the efficiency of blended learning. However, blended learning is found challenging where active collaboration between lecturers and students are highly needed to integrate learning. To overcome the issue, Polytechnic provides a Learning Management System known as the Curriculum Information Document Online System or known as CIDOS. CIDOS is a fully automated document management platform that manages the uploading, downloading, updating, and sharing digital content through a single integrated component. This study aims to determine the level of student engagement in blended learning at Polytechnic, Kota Kinabalu. A preliminary study with 125 students found that students are medium in the learning management system, which is CIDOS.

In this day and age, social media use is prevalent among millennial students. The relationship between student’s time spent on social media and their cumulative grade point average (CGPA) was investigated in this study. The questionnaire that is used for this survey is a telephone questionnaire and collected six details from the respondence. They are; (i) gender, (ii) current enrolled semester, (iii) the most commonly used social media platform, (iv) an approximation of time spent on the social media platform, (v) current year of study, and (vi) current CGPA. A correlational analysis method was proposed to investigate the strength of relationships that naturally occurs between time spent on social media and student’s academic performance. A hypothesis test has been conducted to further evaluate the significance of the relationship between time spent on social media and student’s academic performance. From the correlation analysis, there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate a relationship between student’s time spent on social media and their academic performance. Based on the study’s findings, the time spent by students on social media does not have a detrimental effect on student’s academic performance. The results suggest that there is another factor that contributes to the CGPA of students.

The purpose of the paper is to study an instrument of gamification framework. This study focuses on gamification in e-learning, especially in early education; the ‘what’ and ‘how’ gamification can support e-learning within a community context. Gamification has taken someone popularity in the past few years in research in the context of education and business marketing. It has also gained interest from academics, educators, health management, employee engagement, civic engagement, and innovation. Gamification is an established practice and industry segment. Thus, because of the lack of children's engagement in the learning process and lack of motivation to learn, incorporating gamification has been acknowledged. It is hoped that these instruments will be useful for future research and the development of community learning applications using gamification.

Working while studying is common, with at least half of all students taking a paid job at some point throughout their studies. By combining working and studying simultaneously will impact the academic performance of students. The main issues are the consequences of working while studying, which results in declining academic performance. This study aimed to identify possible reasons that cause students to work and study simultaneously, assess the correlation between work and academic performance, and determine the main barriers students face as they work and study. Using quantitative method, data was collected from 218 students from undergraduate and postgraduate, who have experienced study while working. Results show that most students agreed that working while studying correlates with academic performance. Furthermore, it is necessary to learn about the positive and negative effects of their efforts that distract them all this time. Having known all, these factors helped this study develop a good strategy for maintaining a better life while working and studying simultaneously.

The digital age has produced a plethora of diverse websites for web users to connect and use. Although E-Commerce advancement has grown immensely and became a valuable channel for the transaction of selling and purchasing activity between seller and customers, E-Commerce companies are faced with a highly competitive environment today with the flooding emergence of business going digital. An effective website is a significant factor in attracting and retaining customers’ absorption to promote purchasing behaviour. Additionally, user engagement is often associated with the workflow of E-Commerce due to its ability in influencing customers’ satisfaction. However, there is a lack of quantitative studies focusing on the construct of customer engagement observed. For these reasons, there is a need for the exploration to concentrate on the antecedents and consequences of the construct of user engagement to get an in-depth clarity on the aspect. Literature reviews performed demonstrates very few empirical studies focusing on E-Commerce as a contextual periphery of optimization of user engagement. Although user engagement has been widely highlighted in various fields for its significance, it is still a challenge for an E-Commerce business to optimize it as to lack of reference effectively. Theoretically, a good design constitutes factors of users’ satisfaction assimilation requirements and technical implementation. Therefore, understanding and fulfilling people’s demand is a fundamental design concept required to be implemented. Thus, this study aims to identify the elements of user engagement in E-Commerce through a preliminary review study. The results of the study show the identified and listed users’ engagement elements and the design elements that contributes to the user engagement elements. The extracted result of the study will benefit researchers and designers to produce an effective E-Commerce website that promotes engagement with the integration of user engagement

Digital technology is one of the technologies that has contributed to enhancing the user's daily life. It has transformed the nature of works in many ways since the beginning of the digital age. The study of UX in a product has been one way to improve the product to achieve better user satisfaction. The study aims to study UX in digital products in usability, personal acceptance, and social acceptance. The prior studies found that researchers agreed that the usability of the product could affect the user’s adoption of the product. Functionality is also found to play a big role in the user's personal acceptance. Moreover, we relate the user's social acceptance to promoting users' responsibility to the online community. The literature review was done using a comprehensive search of Science Direct, Mendeley, Springer Link, and Google Scholar using the “snowball” search and Boolean search strategies. Digital product industrialists were suggested to observe UX for product improvement to reach the user's satisfaction.

Coding is being part of the curriculum study for Malaysian primary and secondary school since 2017. The introduction of Computer Science subject was to expose the young to digital technology and groom them to become digital makers. The programming field is very challenging especially to those who still triggering what programming is all about. One of the problems is students have difficulty in certain subtopics of programming. Coding to a specific task by using much complex algorithm is not an easy task as student needs to understand and know how to use it to solve a problem. For a beginner who does not have a background in a programming language, some might experience it hard to grasp the concept at the beginning of the learning process. This paper is to identify secondary school student’s problems in the subject. Based on the study conducted using an online survey with 37 respondents, results indicated that they faced difficulties in various subtopics of programming from an easy to complex concept based on the scope of learning content they have learned. From the process of computational thinking techniques, algorithm concepts, declaring constant and variable, control structures, search and sorting approach, and several more, these subtopics of programming were hard for some of the respondents. The results showed the subtopic of function and procedure was difficult for most of the respondents, regardless kind of programming languages they learned. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering.

Euler method is a numerical order process for solving problems with the Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE). It is a fast and easy way. While Euler offers a simple procedure for solving ODEs, problems such as complexity, processing time and accuracy have driven others to use more sophisticated methods. Improvements to the Euler method have attracted much attention resulting in numerous modified Euler methods. This paper proposes Cube Polygon, a modified Euler method with improved accuracy and complexity. In order to demonstrate the accuracy and easy implementation of the proposed method, several examples are presented. Cube Polygon’s performance was compared to Polygon’s scheme and evaluated against exact solutions using SCILAB. Results indicate that not only Cube Polygon has produced solutions that are close to identical solutions for small step sizes, but also for higher step sizes, thus generating more accurate results and decrease complexity. Also known in this paper is the general of the RL circuit due to the ODE problem.
