Racial polarisation issues in public higher learning institutions has long been debated and continues to
exist even with the many effort for unity seen through nation’s education policies. Despite the
existence of opportunities for students to interact with the other ethnic throughout their studies, their
social relation was relatively moderate. Past findings suggested further studies be made to the factors
contributing to racial polarisation and that there should be a platform which encouraged students to
cooperate and enabled them to reached a common ground. The objective of this paper is to do a
preliminary survey on inter-ethnic dialogue which could become a platform in enhancing good social
relation between students of different ethnics in public and private universities. A successful interethnic
dialogue must include the four dimension of social relation: assimilation, amalgamation,
acculturation and accommodation, with which the social relation in Malaysia revolves, contributed
primarily by its historical and political factors.

The Textile Industry of Pakistan is considered as life line of country’s economy. It accounts around
55% share of total economy. Major exports from textiles are yarns, raw and finished fabrics and also
limited quantity of value added textile items. However from last one decade textile industry is facing
lot of problems in terms of getting and maintaining export orders. Most of customers globally now
giving preferences to other regional competitors. Due to this Pakistani Textile Industry losing its
competitiveness day by day which resulted loss in millions of US Dollars per years. The raw woven
fabric manufacturing sector that lies almost in middle of supply line having sharing of 8% in world
exports. The performance of this value added product responsible also overall performance of sector.
The literature review on internal factors specifically related to this sector still in gap which author tries
to cover up. The literature review delineated accordingly with respect to internal factors such as
product types, innovations, energy cost, inventory and green textile concepts which gives effect on
export performance of weaving industry.
Methodology is compulsory in research study that involve with the process of design,
application, and analysis. The literature review was conducted to describe the relationship of
sampling area, sample size, and determination of the measurement scale. The sample size can
be determined through formula (or equation). When sample size are applied in sampling area,
probability and non-probability sampling will be involve in determining the quantity and
quality of data collection for research. Random probability sampling is divided into simple
random, systematic, stages random, various stages random, and grouping; while nonprobability
sampling can be divided into chance, aimed, quota, snowball, dimensional, critical cases, and maximum variation. Next, the measurement scale can be determined through
normal, ordinal interval and ratio in questionnaire or interview, which all four scales will be
determine measurements such as Likert scale, Thurstone scale, Guttman scale, and the
difference procedures of Sematics scale in carrying out an analysis research. Therefore, the
sample size and sampling area, and also the choice of measurement scale is important in the
methodology for smoothing and accelerating the process of collecting and gathering data.
This Methodology framework in research study smoothing the process of collecting data. Research
study is categorized into qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research refer to a studies
require careful observation, while quantitative research refers to a studies involve in statistics.
Qualitative and quantitative research study can be determined through primary and secondary data.
Primary data is defined as data that comes from original or the first source, while secondary data is
defined as data that has been collected by other researchers. Primary data can be categorized into
active and passive. Active primary data can be divided into direct interview (through face to face
between researcher and respondents) and interviewed indirectly (e.g. by phone, mail, technology),
while passive primary data involve with structured and secret characteristic, structured and open
characteristic, unstructured and secret characteristic, unstructured and open characteristic. Secondary
data involves with writing (journals, books, magazines, past records, reports and documents, internet, theses, short stories, newspaper), as well as vision and hearing (speeches, movies and videos, songs,
stories). Even secondary data has its advantages and disadvantages, but both secondary and primary
data are depend on each other in solving the society problems through the achievement of the
objectives or hyphotheses in a research study.
Research study is an academic methods applied in real world in solving problems associated with the
society. The research process in achieving objectives of study will have a complete framework
including methodology. Methodology can be defined as method used to collec and compile data
through effective procedures in resulting the study problems. Methodology is divided into three stages,
namely the planning process, application process, and analysis process. This literature review of
methodology framework prioritizes on the planning process that involve with research study design,
which can be divided into an experimental and non-experimental. Experimental methods can be
categorized into real-experimental studies and quasi-experimental studies. Meanwhile, nonexperimental
can be divided into experimental survey, field studies, case studies, action studies and
historical studies. Mostly experimental methods are used in pure science and non-experimental methods used in social sciences. However, both methods are still relevant to be applied into certain
areas of study in order to achieve the objectives and hypothesis. Therefore, the methodology are
compulsory to be designed and applied properly, precisely and accurately so that the process of
collecting data in the period of before, during and after collection will not involve with ant errors,
mistakes and carelessness that may affect the research study.
The issue of aggressive behaviour is often the subject of serious discussion amongst discipline teachers and school counselors. From the Islamic perspective, aggressive behaviour is caused by the lack of Islamic values in aspects of student interaction at schools. Thus, the readiness of discipline teachers and school counselors to tap into the skills and knowledge of counseling using the Islamic approach is crucial in realizing the outlined educational development plan. This concept paper aims to enhance the effectiveness of Islamic counseling based on Abdullah Nasih Ulwan’s views in addressing aggressive behaviour among school students. The methodology of the study is in the form of literature reviews by examining books, journals and previous studies related to the topic of discussion. The study has found that there are 4 ways of dealing with aggressive behaviours among secondary school students based on Abdullah Nasih Ulwan’s view which are the responsibility of faith education, the responsibility of educating the mind, the responsibility of educating the mind awareness and the responsibility of educating the soul. The guidelines above should be utilized by school counselors in handling the issue of aggressive behaviours amongst school students.

Kemiskinan merupakan satu fenomena yang dialami oleh seseorang individu tanpa kerelaan dan kehendak mereka. Kemiskinan boleh dikategorikan kepada dua jenis iaitu material dan bukan material. Miskin material terdiri daripada miskin pendapatan dan bukan pendapatan iaitu pendidikan, akses kepada kesihatan, pekerjaan dan kemudahan awam. Manakala miskin bukan material ialah berkait berkenaan ciri-ciri sahsiah seperti emosi, psikologi dan rohani. Kesemua keadaan yang berlaku ini menyebabkan seseorang yang miskin mengalami kesukaran untuk keluar dari situasi kemiskinan sekiranya tiada tindakan yang dilakukan oleh pihak bertanggungjawab. Pengukuran kemiskinan adalah langkah awal dalam mengenal pasti golongan miskin. Terdapat dua jenis iaitu pengukuran kemiskinan undimensi yang melihat kemiskinan dari sudut pendapatan sahaja dan pengukuran kemiskinan multidimensi yang melihat pada aspek holistik serta kemanusiaan. Terdapat banyak kelemahan pada pengukuran unidimensi kerana ia hanya mengukur kemiskinan dari perspektif pendapatan sahaja. Hal ini sudah tentulah tidak komprehensif dalam pengenalpastian golongan yang miskin. Oleh itu pengukuran kemiskinan multidimensi akan diterokai bagi memahami dengan lebih lanjut seperti perbezaannya dengan pengukuran unidimensi dan mengapakah Indeks Kemiskinan Multidimensi (IKM) adalah pengukur kemiskinan yang paling sesuai lagi berkesan. Kajian ini menggunakan data sekunder sebagai metodologi kajian. Hasil kajian ini dijangka bukan sahaja boleh mengetahui berapa ramai yang miskin dan peratusannya, malahan kita juga boleh mengetahui dimensi penyumbang utama kepada masalah kemiskinan. Melalui pengukuran ini, sesuatu program atau pemberian insentif dapat disalurkan dengan tepat kepada kumpulan sasaran.
“Fenomena anarki” telah mempengaruhi kebanyakan negara untuk memberikan tumpuan dan
perhatian terhadap pembangunan Angkatan ketenteraan bagi menjamin keselamatan untuk tujuan
kelangsungan hidup. Manakala merujukkan kepada teori neo-realisme, teori ini mengatakan dilema
keselamatan sebagai situasi yang sentiasa ada ancaman yang cuba untuk menggugat keselamatan
negara mahupun ianya dari bentuk unsur ancaman tradisional mahupun dari unsur dari ancaman bukan
dari tradisional. Akibat dari senario keselamatan dan sifat anarki dalam sistem antarabangsa, keadaan
ini akan menyebabkan negara perlu bergantung pada diri sendiri untuk kelangsungan hidup. Ini
merujuk kepada konsep self help atau self reliance di mana setiap negara mempunyai kepentingan
negara mereka tersendiri dalam meneruskan kelangsungan hidup dalam sistem antarabangsa. Melihat
dari sudut Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM,) perspektif pembangunan dan pemodenan ATM semasa
era Perang Dingin dan Pasca Perang Dingin ternyata mempunyai perubahan yang signifikan di mana
pembangunan ATM sebelum tahun 1990 lebih bersifat konvensional dan pasca Perang Dingin
memperlihatkan pembangunan ATM bersifat lebih strategik.

Pada era globalisasi ini, pembangunan negara tidak dapat diseimbangkan dengan baik memandangkan pembangunan fizikal semakin lebih pesat berbanding pembangunan sosial, terutamanya di bandarbandar besar yang sedang membangun. Oleh sebab itu, pembangunan sosial haruslah diambil perhatian supaya pembangunan fizikal dan sosial dapat dibangunkan dengan seimbang dan juga seiring. Dasar Sosial negara turut memberikan penekanan kepada aspek sosial, ekonomi dan teknologi. Di Malaysia, kajian yang melibatkan pembangunan sosial kanak-kanak dalam mewujudkan kesejahteraan sosial di kawasan perumahan adalah kurang diambil perhatian oleh para penyelidik. Maka, kajian ini dilakukan untuk membincangkan mengenai kesejahteraan sosial masyarakat bandar di kawasan perumahan. Kertas kerja ini membincangkan mengenai dua perkara penting dalam perancangan bandar iaitu perancangan sosial dan kesejahteraan sosial bandar. Kaedah kajian yang digunakan adalah berdasarkan kepada penelitian terhadap kajian-kajian lepas dan dan juga meneliti Pelan Struktur Sabah 2033 yang diperolehi daripada Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Wilayah negeri Sabah serta temubual berstruktur bersama pegawai Jabatan Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Wilayah negeri Sabah . Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa perancangan sosial yang baik dapat memberikan impak yang cukup besar dalam mewujudkan kesejahteraan sosial masyarakat bandar. Taman permainan juga telah dikenalpasti mampu memberikan kesan positif kepada kesejahteraan sosial masyarakat bandar di kawasan perumahan. Hal ini kerana, taman permainan berperanan sebagai tempat pertemuan sosial, iaitu tempat berkumpul dan saling mengenali antara ibu bapa dan juga anak-anak jiran tertangga.

Kajian ini memberi tumpuan terhadap salah satu kategori lakuan bahasa yang diperkenalkan oleh Searle (1969), iaitu lakuan ekspresi. Lakuan ekspresi ialah ujaran-ujaran yang menunjukkan pernyataan psikologi yang memberi gambaran tentang sikap dan perasaan penutur. Analisis kajian ini dilakukan terhadap ujaran-ujaran yang terdapat dalam 40 artikel kritikan Tun Dr. Mahathir dalam isu 1MDB. Melalui kajian ini, sebanyak lima kategori telah dikenal pasti, iaitu lakuan pernyataan, lakuan kritikan, lakuan rujukan, lakuan arahan, dan lakuan ekspresi. Namun demikian, kajian ini hanya memberi tumpuan terhadap lakuan bahasa ekspresi. Analisis mendapati lakuan ekspresi menunjukkan bilangan ujaran paling sedikit berbanding dengan kategori lakuan bahasa yang lain, iaitu sebanyak 20 kekerapan. Lakuan pernyataan mencatatkan kekerapan tertinggi, dengan jumlah kekerapan sebanyak 1302 ujaran, diikuti oleh lakuan kritikan di tempat kedua dengan kekerapan sebanyak 828. Lakuan rujukan dan lakuan arahan masing-masing dengan kekerapan sebanyak 297 dan 128. Hal ini menunjukkan bahawa Tun Dr. Mahathir melakukan kritikan tanpa mengutamakan ekspresi perasaan atau emosi. Sebanyak tujuh sublakuan ekspresi yang ditemui, iaitu lakuan bimbang, hairan, ucapan selamat, kehendak, enggan, minta maaf, dan ucapan terima kasih. Hal ini merumuskan bahawa dalam kritikan, khususnya kritikan bertulis, Tun Dr. Mahathir tidak menunjukkan ekspresi emosi yang berlebihan.
