Brachyuran crab of Setiu Lagoon was systematically sampled between July 2011 and May 2012 to determine the community structure of animals and their relationship with environmental parameters. The semiterrestrial crabs were collected from a 100 m2 quadrat at eight stations. In addition, fishing devices were used to collect true aquatic crabs employed at the subtidal habitat. Forty-four species and 13 families were identified representing semiterrestrial and true aquatic crabs (i.e., Sesarmidae, Varunidae, Grapsidae, Ocypodidae, Macropthalmidae, Dotillidae, Camptandriidae, Pilumnidae, Portunidae, Eriphiidae, Oziidae, Dorippidae and Leucosiidae). Parasesarma plicatum, Perisesarma eumolpe, Clistocoeloma merguiense, Haberma sp., Uca (Austruca) annulipes, Uca (Gelasimus) vocans, and Moguai aloutos) were widely distributed in this lagoon. ST5 (at mix mangrove forest) recorded the highest number of species with density (12 ind.m-2), species richness (D = 2.68 ± 0.72), species evenness; (J’ = 0.90 ± 0.06) and species diversity (H’ = 2.17 ± 0.32) as compared to other stations. The results indicated that water salinity, pH and sediment grain size influence the community pattern of brachyuran in this lagoon.

Children away from their parents while pursuing higher education at universities face new challenges in managing their finances and preparing to be financially independent. This study analysed and compared the effects of parental financial socialisation and financial literacy on Indonesian and Malaysian university students' financial behaviour. In total, 204 students from the Faculty of Human Ecology at IPB University and Universiti Putra Malaysia participated in the study. Data were gathered using a self-reporting questionnaire using the convenience sampling method. The independent sample t-test and multiple regression analysis were performed on the data. The results of the t-test showed that Malaysian students scored significantly higher in parental financial socialisation and financial behaviour but lower in financial literacy than Indonesian students. Moreover, the regression analyses revealed that parental financial socialisation and students' financial literacy were highly significant in influencing the sampled students' financial behaviour. However, by splitting the sample based on the student's country of origin, this study demonstrated that Malaysian students' financial behaviour was only significantly influenced by parental financial socialisation, while Indonesian students' financial behaviour was only significantly determined by financial literacy. These findings implied that Malaysian parents were more involved in shaping their children's financial behaviour or decisions. In contrast, Indonesian students were more independent from their parents, and their financial literacy level predominantly influenced their financial behaviour.

This study discusses and analyzes the political concept of Da'wah by Sayyid Qutb and Hassan Hanafi as well as dialogues, both of whom are of the view that Islam is not a religion related to creed. However, Islam is a religion that perfectly regulates all life, including in building civilization, especially regarding the politics of Islamic da'wah. Sayyid Qutb with the thought of his commentary Fii Zhilaalil Qur'an, he said that the thoughts that support the politics of da'wah are divided into three parts. The first is the general rule (basic policy of da'wah politics), the second is the principles of the methodology of da'wah politics, and the third is the system of da'wah political movement (organization of the da'wah movement). As for Hassan Hanafi with his al-yasar al-Islami, he is try to study a lot about the Islamic revival, the Islamic revolution, and the unity of the Ummah with his very famous project, al-turath wa al-tajdid. West and the last attitude towards the reality and conditions of contemporary Muslims. The object of research by Sayyid Qutb and Hassan Hanafi is about the concept of da'wah politics using comparative methods and including library research, by conducting activities to find primary and secondary sources qualitatively. Abstrak. Penelitian ini membahas dan menganalisa konsep politik dakwah Sayyid Qutb dan Hassan Hanafi juga mendialogkannya, keduanya berpandangan bahwa Islam bukanlah agama yang berkaitan tentang akidah belaka. Akan tetapi, Islam merupakan agama yang mengatur semua kehidupan secara sempurna termasuk dalam membangun peradaban politik dakwah Islam. Sayyid Qutb dengan pemikiran kitab tafsirnya Fii Zhilaalil Qur`an, ia mengatakan bahwa pemikiran yang menunjang politik dakwah dibagi menjadi tiga bagian. Pertama Kaidah Umum (Kebijakan dasar politik dakwah), kedua Prinsp-prinsip metodologi politik dakwah, ketiga sistem gerakan politik dakwah (organisasi gerakan dakwah). Adapun Hassan Hanafi dengan ide kiri Islamnya, mencoba menelaah tentang kebangkitan Islam, revolusi Islam, dan kesatuan umat dengan garapan proyeknya yang sangat terkenal yaitu al-turath wa al-tajdid, ada tiga pilar untuk merealisasikannya yaitu: sikap terhadap masa lalu, sikap terhadap Barat dan yang terakhir sikap terhadap realitas dan kondisi muslim kontemporer. Objek penelitian pemikiran Sayyid Qutb dan Hassan Hanafi adalah mengenai konsep politik dakwah dengan menggunakan metode komparatif dan termasuk penelitian library research, dengan melakukan kegiatan mencari sumber primer dan sekunder secara kualitatif.

The need for plastic solutions has increased as a result of the expansion in the usage of plastic-based items, adding pressure to the waste management system. The use of plastics derived from petroleum, which significantly harm the environment, is being reduced with great interest. Substituting biodegradable plastic made from natural resources such as unprocessed agricultural waste, aquatic life, and even microbes for traditional plastics made through the petrochemical process is one way to address the problems. The worldwide bioplastics and biopolymer targets are the focus of all these initiatives. The focus of this study is on the sea grape, or Caulerpa lentillifera. The Caulerpa lentillifera plant, which is widely distributed along Sabah's east coast and in the Malacca Strait and is significant economically in Malaysia, was also mentioned. It possesses antibacterial qualities and is found in abundance there. The goal of the innovation project is to create biodegradable plastic from Caulerpa lentillifera and test the anti-microbial capabilities of the plastic. It is anticipated that this novel product will benefit society and have a high likelihood of being commercialized. Due to its remarkable biodegradability, the use of biodegradable plastic has recently become more popular. It is very simple to stretch and can lessen the environmental impact because it does not release carbon dioxide. Additionally, it does not produce a lot of hazardous emissions and has the potential to biodegrade into a natural component that blends into the soil. Additionally, biodegradable packaging has found use in several industries such as consumer goods and medical technology. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations, particularly SDG 14 which focuses on the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources, are also in line with this unique idea.

This study focuses on works related to urease inhibitors published from 1970 to 2021, gathered from the Web of Science database. This paper aims to examine the trends of research involving urease inhibitors, as there have been no centralised study that utilises bibliometric methods on the related research fields, methods used, as well as collaborations. The total number of publications examined in this paper after filtering is 574 and the number of review articles on urease inhibitors is on the low side considering other research topics published within the 51-year period. Experimental works are still the core method of gathering information on the usefulness of urease inhibitors in all fields within the investigated time span. From the mid-2000s, theoretical investigations emerged as a complement to experimental research, mostly in the form of molecular docking studies. As in the other fields of study, theoretical works have been accepted as part of research methods to examine the molecular interactions between compounds and urease. The main partners to consider for cooperation in this field of study are those in Pakistan, China, the United States, New Zealand and Spain as their institutions house researchers that are outstanding in the field and they produce articles that are highly cited.

Clinical pharmacy education (CPE) is an important element in the undergraduate pharmacy programmes as the pharmacy profession had changed from product-oriented to patient-oriented services. This study was designed to assess the experience and attitude of Malaysian undergraduate pharmacy students on clinical pharmacy education, to compare attitude score according to different demographic characteristics and experiences, and to identify preferred teaching and learning methods for CPE. This was a cross-sectional study conducted using an adopted and adapted questionnaire which was distributed via email. A total of 305 final year Bachelor of Pharmacy students from all universities offering pharmacy programme were recruited through convenient sampling and the mean (SD) age of the respondents was 23.03 (1.589) years. This study revealed that almost 50% of respondents started CPE in Year 3 of their study. The highest proportion of respondents spent 31- 50 contact hours per semester for clinical pharmacy courses and the biggest percentage of contact hours were spent in traditional lectures.

The constant demand for synthetic plastics has led to the accumulation of plastic waste in nature due to its non-biodegradable attributes. In this study, the properties of pectin as biodegradable bioplastic were enhanced using Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) as a plasticiser with concentrations of citric acid as a crosslinker that was ranged from 1% to 4%. The physical characteristic and mechanical properties of bioplastics were determined using the thickness test and the tensile test. The sample with 3% citric acid showed the highest thickness value (0.25±0.01 mm). The results showed that the increase in the concentration of citric acid increased the film’s flexibility, thereby influencing the properties of the bioplastic film obtained. The highest citric acid concentration at 4% showed the highest flexibility with 29.02±2.99 MPa, 2.73±0.38% and 10.14±0.88 MPa for tensile strain, tensile stress and Young’s Modulus values, respectively. The presence of peak OH, C=O and C-O from Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy outlined the formation and showed the interactions between the pectin, DES and citric acid in the bioplastic that was produced. In conclusion, the properties of bioplastic/pectin/DES were altered with the different concentrations of citric acid either as a crosslinker or as a plasticiser to become a new green alternative to synthetic plastics.
