Awang, Suriyani. "A water quality study of the Selangor River, Malaysia." Thesis, University of East Anglia, 2015. https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/67083/.
Full textAbstract:
Malaysia’s rapid economic and demographic development has put pressures on its water supplies and consequently on the quality of its river water. The Selangor River, close to the nation’s capital, is now a major source of water and there are fears that its water quality will deteriorate. The Malaysian Government in its Vision for Water 2025 states that rivers should achieve Class II as measured by Malaysia’s Water Quality Index (WQI) (Class I is cleanest). The objectives of this thesis are to investigate the effects of flow through the 10 major tidal control gates (TCGs) which regulate run-off from the oil-palm plantations into the river, and to predict the water quality for the river in 2015, 2020 and 2030. In order to achieve these objectives it was necessary to set-up, calibrate and validate a commercial one-dimensional numerical model, InfoWorks, which includes both the hydrodynamics and water quality of the river-estuary network. It was concluded that there was insufficient hydrodynamic (stage and current) and water quality data to fully calibrate and validate the InfoWorks model but it performed well when compared with measured salinity transects. The model was found to be relatively insensitive to the choice of diffusion parameters but needed a high value for the oxygen transfer velocity, 0.3 m h-1, to get reasonable values for the dissolved oxygen (DO) along the river. The effect of run-off through the TCGs was less than expected and attributed to the high oxygen transfer velocity and needs to be addressed before the model can properly represent run-off through the TCGs. The model shows the WQI of the lower reaches of the river to be Class III in both wet and dry seasons except close to the estuary where it is Class II due to tidal flushing. The dissertation identifies several deficiencies in the model; the lack of an operational ramp function at the estuary boundary, the use of a single value of the oxygen transfer velocity throughout, and the exclusion of water extraction. Land-use changes above Rantau Panjang, the upper boundary of the InfoWorks model, and water quality data were used to estimate the water quality and its uncertainties at Rantau Panjang in 2015, 2020 and 2030 due to predicted development in the upper catchment for both wet and dry seasons. InfoWorks models of water quality along the river in 2015, 2020 and 2030, which included extraction at the Batang Berjuntai barrage, predict little change in the WQ (Class II/III boundary) below the barrage during the dry season but a rapid deterioration in the wet season (down to Class III/IV by 2030) showing the importance of water extraction to the water quality of the river. Overall, because of its relative simplicity and ease of operation, InfoWorks is considered to be a useful tool for river management in Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
In Malaysia, approximately 90% of the businesses are categorized as small businesses. Although the majority of the small businesses are family owned, they make a significant contribution to the nation’s gross domestic product. Therefore, the prevalence of small family businesses has a potential economic and social impact that is realised in terms of reducing unemployment rates and growing the family income.The objective in this study was to explore and analyse decisions made about business growth in various types of Malay small family businesses in Selangor, Malaysia. The researcher investigated decisions made in both business and family realms. The importance of the study was in adding to the existing knowledge on decision-making about business growth in small family businesses; specifically, the Malay small family business. Furthermore, the results have been used to construct an original research outcomes model (ROM) that provides a unique contribution to the policy and practice of small family business development. Similarly, the ROM can be used to continue research into small family businesses.A qualitative methodology using a case study approach was a valuable strategy allowing the researcher to obtain in-depth information about decisions for business growth. The participation of seven small family business owners and selected family members by means of face-to-face interview techniques allowed for the collection of insightful data of family and business activities; the first-hand data enhanced the originality of the result. Interview data were transcribed and a thematic analysis technique applied to acquire research patterns; firstly, using within-case analysis and, secondly, cross-case analysis. Research results supported much of the extant literature that identified the owner of small family business as the key person in decision-making. The findings extended current knowledge by demonstrating how actual decisions are made implemented in small family businesses. Use of family discussion was identified as a main advantage as a precursor to authoritative decision-making by the owner.Finally, in identifying factors which underlie the decision-making in order to maximise business growth, the results of the study have provided benefits for small business researchers, policy makers, small business advisors, small family business owners and family members involved in the business.

Mohd, Sidik Sherina. "Mental health status of women attending a government primary care clinic in the state of Selangor, Malaysia." Thesis, University of Auckland, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2292/6097.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis was conducted because a need was identified for comprehensive studies on mental health status among women in Malaysia. Objectives: There were two main objectives. The first was to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety among women attending a government primary care clinic, and investigate the association with socio demographic factors, medical, obstetrics and gynaecology history, stressful life events, and domestic violence. The second was to validate questionnaires on depression and anxiety among Malay speaking participants. Methodology This thesis was conducted in two parts (Part 1 and 2) based on its two main objectives. Setting: The Seri Kembangan Health Clinic (KKSK) from the urban district of Petaling, in the state of Selangor, Malaysia was selected. Study design: This was a cross sectional study. Sampling method: Simple random sampling was used to select the clinic (KKSK). Participant selection: For Part 1, consecutive adult female patients attending KKSK during the data collection period and fulfilling the selection criteria were invited to participate. For Part 2, systematic weighted random sampling was used to select participants who had completed the questionnaires in Part 1 of the thesis. Selection was based on scores from the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9] and the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire [GAD-7]. Study instruments: For Part 1, participants completed self-administered questionnaires (including the 12-item General Health Questionnaire [GHQ-12], PHQ-9 and GAD-7). The GHQ-12 was used to determine poor mental health status, while the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 were used to determine depression and anxiety, respectively. Part 2 involved diagnostic interviews by the principal investigator using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) as the reference standard to validate the PHQ-9 and GAD-7. Data collection: Data was collected from 10th December 2008 to 30th January 2009. Results Response rate: Eight-hundred-and-ninety-five patients participated in Part 1 (895/1023, response rate 87.5%); while 151 were further interviewed for Part 2 (151/156, response rate 96.8%). Data analysis: Data analysis was based on complete questionnaires; 845 for Part 1 and 146 for Part 2. Results: Findings from Part 1 showed that the prevalence of poor mental health status, depression, anxiety, and co-morbidity (co-existing depression and anxiety) was 17.5% (GHQ-12), 12.1% (PHQ-9), 7.8% (GAD-7) and 5.8% (PHQ-9 and GAD-7), respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis found that certain stressful life events were significantly associated with depression, anxiety and co-morbidity (p<0.05). The emotional aspect of domestic violence was found to be a main predicting factor for anxiety and co-morbidity (p<0.05). Findings from Part 2 showed that the PHQ-9 had a sensitivity of 87.1% (95% confidence interval 71.1% to 94.9%) and a specificity of 81.7% (73.7% to 87.7%). The GAD-7 had a sensitivity of 76.3% (60.8% to 87.0%) and a specificity of 94.4% (88.4% to 97.4%). Discussion and Conclusion The prevalence of depression and anxiety found in this thesis is similar to other countries. The results on domestic violence are important findings in this thesis, as this is an area which has not been investigated in Malaysia. The Malay versions of the PHQ-9 and GAD- 7 were found to be valid and reliable case-finding instruments for depression and anxiety. The next step will be to explore issues on domestic violence and to disseminate the validated case-finding instruments into regular practice in Malaysian primary care clinics.

Full textAbstract:
Extensive research on urban woodlands has been carried out in the United Kingdom, Europe and North America, but very little work has been done in Malaysia, or elsewhere in Asia. This study contributes to understanding the importance of recreational forests to Malaysians, particularly in an urban periphery context. It adds to the body of knowledge concerning people’s use and experience in woodlands and forests, with implications for wider current issues like planning, climate, health, culture and social equity, and cohesion. Two recreational forests in Selangor were selected as study sites: Ampang and Kanching. A concurrent approach mixed methods study was conducted on each visitor’s use, experience and attitude towards the recreational forest. The methods comprised site observations, a questionnaire survey conducted with 413 users and 40 semi-structured interviews. Visitors mainly used the forests for social activities such as picnicking and swimming. People were generally motivated to visit a recreational forest because of its amenities, qualities, proximity, health benefits, self-actualisation and restorative experiences, as a form of escape from routine and an aid to keeping intergenerational values alive. Five types of users were identified according to employment status: students, working adults, working families, adult male professionals and retirees. Confirming previous research, this study found that childhood experience in forest environments influenced users’ later use of the recreational forests. The impact of age, gender and ethnicity on the use and experience of the recreational forests was also explored. The study highlighted the role of users’ culture too: Malay users made a connection between their earlier experience of Malaysian village culture and visiting recreational forests. Forest characteristics influenced the visitors’ choice of activities: people tended to stroll and jog at the Ampang Recreational Forest but use the Kanching Recreational Forest for exploratory activity like jungle trekking as the site is hillier, with more access to the forest proper. Forest ambiance is characterised by coolness, fresh air, shade areas, greenery and clean water features, all of which attract visitors. It is important for forestry planners and managers to recognise recreational forest use and users’ experience, and the impact of socio-demographic differences, to ensure continuing and enhanced current and future use. Locating future recreational forests near to lower-income or deprived residential areas allows the poorer populace the same opportunity to use and experience recreational forests as other income groups.

Full textAbstract:
Unemployment was a major problem faced by the ex-servicemen in Malaysia since the
early seventies. Recognising the needs of ex-servicemen, the government through the
organisation of the Veterans Affairs Division (VAD) introduced the resettlement
program for the ex-servicemen with the aim of assisting the veterans to find
employment. However despite the implementation of training programs, the rate of
unemployment among the ex-servicemen was relatively very high, whilst the extent of
the as well as the underlying factors remained unknown, with the resultant ambiguity
of the role of VAD.
This case study was designed to investigate issues related to the employment situation
of the ex-servicemen by surveying those in the capital territory of Kuala Lumpur and
the states of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka, who participated in resettlement
training and were discharged in 1993. In addition the states of Johor, Perak and Penang
were included for the survey on the non participants of resettlement training.
The study found that the rate of employment of the ex-servicemen in the states
surveyed was substantially lower than that of the national average. The study also
found that participation in the resettlement training organised by the VAD had
significant effect on increasing the rate of employment besides higher income, shorter
period of unemployment, better readjustment and higher satisfaction with civilian life.
Among the factors analysed, ability to speak English and the economic activity and the
stage of development of the states were found to have significance influence on the rate
of employment. Other factors found to be associated with the employment of the ex-servicemen
included age, education level, rank, urban or rural background, and
matching of training to application.
Based on the findings of this case study recommendations were made to improve the
selectivity of, and access to, resettlement training by all ex-servicemen. Other
recommendations included improving the standard of education and spoken English
before discharge, lowering age of discharge with pension, provision of information
related to employment and counselling service, setting up of data bank of ex-servicemen
and further research.

Full textAbstract:
Sammanfattning Bokföringsnämnden (BFN) är en statlig myndighet under regeringen som är statens expertorgan på redovisningsområdet. De ansvarar för att främja utvecklingen av den goda redovisningsseden som enligt definitionen skall grundas utifrån praxis. Redovisningen har dock gått från att ha styrts utifrån principer och sed till att bli allt mer styrt av regler. På senare tid har nämligen BFN antagit en ny strategi genom att utfärda regelverk vilket de aldrig tidigare har gjort. De nya regelverken vid namn K-regelverken grundar sig i internationella redovisningsnormer och blir aktuella att tillämpa från 2014. Problematiken är att BFN inte har någon föreskriftsmakt utan endast får ge ut allmänna råd. Dessa uppfattas dock ofta som obligatoriska i praktiken vilket leder till att det uppstår en konflikt både gällande hur reglerna skall tolkas samt vad som gäller juridiskt. Vårt syfte är att förstå hur de kommande regelverken från bokföringsnämnden uppfattas samt hur de kommer att påverka företagen och den goda redovisningsseden. I uppsatsen använder vi oss av en kvalitativ studie med induktiv ansats. För att erhålla data på området har vi både samlat in primär och säkundärdata för att förstå och tolka helheten. I slutsatsen kommer vi fram till att den goda redovisningsseden har förändrats så pass mycket att den inte längre kan anses vara god sed. Finns det överhuvudtaget fortfarande ett behov av god redovisningssed då skrivna regler har tagit över det tomrum som den goda seden tidigare försökte fylla? Vi har även kommit fram till att K-regelverken inte kommer att resultera i en förenkling jämfört med dagens normgivning, inte heller kommer de administrativa kostnaderna att minska.

Yusof, Mohamed Tamin. "An analysis of the changing spatial location of agricultural enterprises in Selangor state, Malaysia." Master's thesis, 1985. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/123012.
Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the changing land use of agricultural areas in
Selangor State generally and specifically near urban areas of Kuala
Lumpur between 1966 and 1982. Using two contrasting models designed to
explain the spatial location of agricultural enterprises, the study
found that von Thunen's model has become less relevent due to the
modernization of transportation system with consequent significant
reduction in transport costs. However, in the late 60's, early 70's,
there is sane empirical evidence, that market gardening and mixed
horticulture areas were found in close proximity to the urban built-up
areas and along the major roads. This was in keeping with von Thunen's
hypothesis.
Between the land use surveys of 1974 and 1982 rapid economic
development and concentrated industrialization in the study area,
resulted in a marked increase in population growth and urbanization.
This had a significant impact on agricultural areas in a manner in
keeping with Sinclair's 'urban sprawl' or 'urban threat' hypothesis.
The effect was particularly marked in the peri-urban districts
immediately surrounding the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.
Agricultural land use in the Federal Territory, which is mainly under
rubber, declined by 33 per cent. In addition about 32 per cent of the
rubber trees were senile in 1974. The problem of senile rubber trees
has increased and extends to the peri-urban areas. However, the
reduction of rubber areas in the intermediate districts is correlated
with an expansion of oil palm areas. In other words, the lack of
interest by rubber estates and smallholders in replanting with oil palm
in the peri-urban districts was probably due to uncertainty associated
with the urban expansion. Beside this aspect of the urban threat,
agricultural land prices have increased substantially in recent years
in both the peri-urban areas and also in the intermediate districts.
The limited evidence that was available from the Landuse Surveys suggests that the problem of agricultural production in the study area
is now directly and strongly influenced by rapid urban expansion, as
suggested by Sinclair. The nature of this influence needs to be the
subject of more detailed research so that more realistic agricultural
development policies can be designed.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立新竹教育大學<br>幼兒教育學系碩士班<br>104<br>Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate children’s perception and their school adjustment among 302 Chinese children in Hsinchu, Taiwan and Selangor, Malaysia. This study has designed two questionnaires ‘Children’s perception on student-teacher relationship’ and ‘Children school adjustment’ as a research tool. Furthermore, these instruments were employed to explore gender, age and area differences in the association between student-teacher relationship and school adjustment. The measure data was analyzed and discussed by statistics method such as descriptive analysis, t test, Pearson correlation coefficient and Pearson’s R test.
The findings were as follows:
1. In generally, the children felt that the teachers care about them, but had less time to talk with them. Hsinchu’s children felt be more ignored in the relationship with their teachers, Selangor’s children felt more closeness and supportive relationship with their teachers.
2. There were gender differences in the children’s perception on student-teacher relationship. Boys felt more conflict relationship with their teachers.
3. There were age differences in the children’s perception on student-teacher relationship. Hsinchu 6-year old children felt more supportive relationship with their teachers, Selangor 5-year old children felt more closeness and supportive relationship with their teachers but Selangor 6-year old children felt more conflict relationship with their teachers.
4. Selangor 5-year old boys and girls felt more closeness and supportive relationship with their teachers, Selangor 6-year old boys and girls felt more conflict relationship with their teachers. However, Hsinchu 6-year old boys felt be more ignored in the relationship with their teachers.
5. In generally, children were showing a good school adjustment, especially having more positive attitude towards school.
6. There were gender differences in children school adjustment. Girls were better in ‘learning adaption’, ‘rule and regulation adaptation’ and ‘school attitude’ than boys; however, boys were better in ‘peer adaptation’ than girls.
7. There were age differences in Hsinchu and Selangor children school adjustment. Hsinchu 6-year old boys were better in ‘learning adaptation than 5-year old boys, Selangor 5-year old boys were better in ‘overall school adjustment’ than 6-year old boys.
8. Hsinchu and Selangor 5-year old boys showed significant differences in school adjustment. Hsinchu and Selangor boys at age 6 had reached a significant difference in ‘learning adaptation’ and ‘rule and regulation adaptation’.
9. Closeness and support in the student-teacher relationship had positively correlated with children school adjustment, however conflict in the student-teacher relationship had negatively correlated with children school adjustment.
10. Closeness, support and conflict in the student-teacher relationship were able to predict with children school adjustment.
Based on these findings, implications for kindergarten, teachers and future research are suggested.

碩士<br>國立暨南國際大學<br>東南亞研究所<br>99<br>The 12th General Election of Malaysia is held on March 8, 2008. The result of the election is surprising, Some Malay’s, Chinese’s and Indian’s are swing their vote from ruling party to the opposition party. After the election, the ruling coalition’s (Barisan National) losing its two-thirds majority advantage in Parliament. Furthermore some political Scholars are trying to explain the election result with the factors of pre-election; the pre-election factors like price hike, social safety, alternative media, Anwar Ibrahim and candidate’s orientation. They believe the voting decision process of this election may affected by the pre-election factors.
This study will adopt a research approach of Social psychology to analysis the voting behaviour of Selangor Chinese voters in 2008. Did the voting behavior of Malaysian Chinese are affected by their own characteristic, such like generation, gender, living area and social-economic position. If the General Election of 2008 compared with 1999 and 2004, the voting behavior had been a change. Which orientation did the Chinese voters considered in 2008? The party alliance orientation, issue orientation, quality of candidate or race orientation.
This study is using the survey and focus-group analysis to collecting data. After collecting 296 sets questionnaire and held three different generation focus-group. This study finds that characteristic like generation, gender, living area, social position will affect Chinese voters voting orientation.
Overall, there are five chapters in this thesis. The introductory chapter will describe the research background, research question, literature review, research method and research limitation of the study. The political participation history of West Malaysian Chinese will take place in chapter 2, the research structure and hypothesis in chapter 3 and research finding and discussion in chapter 4. Lastly in chapter 5, the conclusion will discuss the limitation of the research process and improvement suggestion for the future studies.

Full textAbstract:
Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis (Wild, ex Adr. de Juss.) Muell Arg.) plantations in
Malaysia are important sources of natural rubber and wood products. Effective management and
appropriate policy for these resources require reliable information on resource dynamics and
forecasts of resource availability. The need for inventories and monitoring systems prompted this
research into utilising ground information and satellite imagery for developing methods for forest
plantation inventory. Monitoring procedures were developed using three dates of Landsat
Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery.
The specific objectives of the research were: (1) to develop an effective method for
inventorying rubber tree plantations using an appropriate combination of satellite imagery and
ground sampling in the State of Selangor, Malaysia; (2) to demonstrate the application of a
Landsat TM-based rubber volume model in an extended area of rubber plantations south of
Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia; (3) to develop an operational methodology for monitoring land
use/cover change, with a primary focus on rubber plantations; and (4) to identify relationships
between the primary drivers of resource change and policies, and examine the evidence of
policies - rubber area change linkages in the study area.
Reasonably accurate predictions of the volume, age, and area of rubber plantations were
obtained from Landsat TM data. The use of supervised image classification and an image
segmentation approach for rubber volume model application showed better performance for
volume prediction than a combined land use/cover and rubber volume classification technique,
thus providing a useful tool for displaying rubber stand volume within segments or spatial units
across the landscape. The combined use of a time series of Landsat TM imagery, modified postclassification
change detection, and geographic information system (GIS) techniques made it
possible to produce land use/cover change matrices and rubber area change information, thus
helping to understand the dynamics of the rubber tree resource.
The decrease in the area of rubber plantations and the increase in the area of mixed crops
from 1989 - 1993 in south of K L were partly attributed to the adoption of a crop diversification
policy which was driven by relatively poor natural rubber prices during that time. The decrease
in the areas of rubber plantations from 1993 - 1999 in this area was primarily due to rapid
urbanization and infrastructure development driven by demographic expansion in the area south
of KL.
This thesis makes a practical contribution to the development of methods for inventory of
forest plantations by linking ground information with model projections based on satellite data.
Additionally, the thesis demonstrates the development of monitoring tools to assess resource
availability and variability over time, and establish its linkages to policies. The inventory
information, models, and monitoring protocols are needed for effective resource management
planning aimed at maximizing the potential benefits of rubber tree crops for wood and natural
rubber supply in Malaysia.

The study focuses on background factors (such as gender, grade, sexual orientation, religion, contact experiences and media experiences), psychological variables (openness to experience and gender role stereotype) and cognitive variables (knowledge of homosexuality, conflict). The research is using questionnaire that created by Man Chun Chen (2010), which is according to Worthington’s Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Knowledge and Attittudes Scale for Heterosexuals, and adaptation of Chen Yi Lin’s (2006) “The Questionnaire on Attitudes toward Gender of Elementary School Teachers”, and translation of openness to experience measures from Goldberg’s (2010) IPIP website. 616 questionnaires have been collected from each Chinese Independent High School in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, and the data of 613 participants are included in the research. Description statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Multiple Regressions are used to analyse the data. The research results show:
1.High school student has low level internalized affirmativeness, they show median support for civil rights of homosexual indivudals, and they reported low hate attitude towardss homosexuality.
2.Knowledge of LGB and contact will bring positive attitude and low level in hate.
3.Female student and senior student have more positive attitudes and less hate attitude towards homosexuality.
4.Student believe in western religion have less positive attitudes about homosexuality compared to those do not believe in western religion, but no significant in hate.
5.Higher score in openness and less in gender role stereotypes, have more positive attitudes toward homosexuality.
6.More awareness in conflict will bring more positive attitudes and less hate.

Sungai Lima is located in a mangrove island, so the villagers are living on “stilt houses”. It is a centuries old fishing village and all the villagers are Hokkien Tong An. Due to geographical factors, and located at Malacca Strait, their ancestors are fishing for life, and main sages are come from produce dry shrimp for local and oversea market. Gradually Sungai Lima develops the local shrimp industry and gain the reputation of the country "Shrimp Town" in Malaysia.
