Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) menjadi mercu kemegahan dan kebanggaan negeri Sabah dalam sektor pendidikan. Hal ini membuktikan bahawa negeri Sabah mampu menyediakan institusi pendidikan awam kepada rakyat Sabah demi memperoleh pendidikan yang baik dan setaraf dengan negeri-negeri yang lain. Salah satu cabaran UMS dalam menjunjung nama di persada Malaysia mahupun antarabangsa adalah melalui penerbitan. Tentunya, penerbitan yang berimpak menjadi taruhan UMS untuk mempamerkan kewujudannya sebagai salah sebuah institusi pendidikan yang terbaik di Malaysia. Justeru, kajian membincangkan penerbitan dalam bidang sains sosial berdasarkan rekod yang diperoleh dari pangkalan data Scopus bermula dari penubuhan awal UMS hingga
tahun 2021. Kajian menggunakan analisis bibliometrik dengan menggarap 1,308 rekod penerbitan dalam pangkalan data Scopus melalui pencarian kata kunci. Hasil kajian mendapati penerbitan dalam bidang sosial sains bagi UMS masih perlu diusahakan dalam menerbitkan manuskrip dalam jurnal-jurnal berindeks Scopus. Pemetaan kajian menggunakan VOSviewer menunjukkan bahawa dalam rekod kata kunci kluster sains sosial, kebanyakan penyelidik adalah dalam kluster ekonomi, psikologi, kesusasteraan, kewangan dan geografi. Namun, adalah sangat terhad didapati dalam kluster sejarah, budaya, agama dan sebagainya untuk mewujudkan kluster yang signifikan setanding dengan kluster-kluster yang lain. Kajian ini adalah berbentuk laporan penerbitan yang diperoleh melalui pangkalan data Scopus yang bertujuan untuk melihat kerancakan penyelidik dalam menerbitkan manuskrip mereka dalam jurnal-jurnal berindeks Scopus. Implikasi kajian dapat dijadikan rujukan awal kepada penyelidik mendatang untuk menghasilkan penyelidikan yang berkualiti.

Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) has become a beacon of splendour and pride for the state of Sabah in education sector. This proves that Sabah can provide public education institutions for the Sabah’s’ people to obtain a good education that is on par with other states. One of UMS’s challenge in upholding its name on the Malaysian and international scene is through publication. Of course, impactful publications are UMS’ best to showcase its existence as one of the best educational institutions in Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims to discuss publications in the field of social sciences based on records obtained from the Scopus database from the initial establishment of UMS until the year 2021. The study uses bibliometric analysis by working on 1,308 publication records in the Scopus database through keyword searches. The study found that publications in the social science field for UMS still need to be worked on in publishing manuscripts into Scopus-indexed journals. Research mapping via VOSviewer reveals that most researchers in the social science cluster keyword records are in
the economics, psychology, literature, finance, and geography clusters. However, it is very limited in the cluster of history, culture, religion, and others to create a significant cluster with other clusters. This study is a publication report obtained through the Scopus database, which aims to see the momentum of researchers in publishing their manuscripts in Scopus-indexed journals. Their next stage of producing quality research

MENINJAU KONSEP TERJEMAHAN SEMULA: KAJIAN KES PUTERA CILIK (2015) DAN PUTERA KECIL (2021)

HASLINA HAROON — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0800

Terjemahan semula (retranslation) sebagai satu produk merujuk terjemahan baharu atau terjemahan terkemudian, yang dihasilkan daripada teks sumber yang sama dan dalam bahasa sasaran yang sama dengan terjemahan yang pertama. Kewujudan beberapa buah teks terjemahan daripada satu teks yang sama menyebabkan andaian sering dibuat bahawa teks terjemahan yang terkemudian merupakan satu bentuk terjemahan semula. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan ketepatan andaian ini, dengan memberikan fokus pada dua teks terjemahan dalam bahasa Melayu, iaitu Putera Cilik (2015) dan Putera Kecil (2021). Untuk melaksanakan kajian ini, analisis periteks dan epiteks kedua-dua terjemahan ini dilakukan, dan temu bual bersama penerbit dan penterjemah dijalankan. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan dan maklum balas yang diperoleh, dapat disimpulkan bahawa teks terjemahan Putera Kecil (2021) bukan satu bentuk terjemahan semula. Hal ini demikian kerana walaupun Putera Cilik (2015) dan Putera Kecil (2021) berasal daripada karya bahasa Perancis yang sama, iaitu Le Petit Prince, kedua-duanya tidak berkongsi teks sumber yang sama. Kajian ini mempunyai implikasi dari segi pentakrifan dan pemahaman konsep seperti ‘teks asal’, ‘teks sumber’ dan ‘terjemahan semula’ dalam kajian bidang terjemahan. Kajian ini juga menekankan kepentingan untuk menentukan dengan tepat teks sumber dalam kajian dalam bidang terjemahan. Hal ini demikian kerana kesimpulan yang tepat hanya dapat dibuat jika teks sumber yang tepat digunakan dalam perbandingan dan analisis.

PENGARUH ISLAM DALAM EKONOMI MELAYU TRADISIONAL PERAK SEBELUM PENJAJAHAN BRITISH (KURUN KE-16 – 19 MASIHI)

SITI NOOR HAFIZAH MOHAMED SHARIF — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0800

Artikel ini membincangkan pengaruh Islam dalam aspek ekonomi masyarakat Melayu Perak sebelum penjajahan British. Perbincangan ini adalah berdasarkan kepada teks-teks undang-undang Melayu Undang-Undang Sembilan Puluh Sembilan Perak dan Undang-Undang Minangkabau. Walaupun pengaruh Islam dalam teks-teks undang-undang Melayu tradisional telah dibincangkan secara meluas dalam penulisan sebelum ini, tetapi perincian perbincangannya tertumpu kepada pengaruh Islam dalam aspek politik dan sosiobudaya (adat). Hal ini mungkin kerana sebahagian besar daripada teks undang-undang tersebut menumpukan aspek pentadbiran (susur galur sultan, tugas dan tanggungjawab sultan dalam pentadbiran, tugas pembesar-pembesar), sosiobudaya (misalnya nikah, cerai, berhutang, kesalahan jenayah sivil (misalnya mencuri dan membunuh) dan perlanggaran terhadap ajaran Islam (seperti tidak solat, tidak berpuasa dan berzina). Keadaan ini menimbulkan persoalan, adakah teks undang-undang Melayu tradisional yang dipengaruhi oleh elemen Islam tidak merangkumi aspek ekonomi masyarakat Melayu tradisional. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti pengaruh Islam dalam aspek ekonomi masyarakat Melayu tradisional berdasarkan peruntukan-peruntukan berkaitan tanah yang ada dalam teks Undang-Undang Melayu tradisional. Hal ini demikian kerana peruntukan-peruntukan berkaitan tanah amat berkait rapat dengan aktiviti pertanian yang merupakan aktiviti ekonomi utama masyarakat Melayu. Ringkasnya, pengaruh Islam dalam teks undang-undang Melayu tradisional turut merangkumi aspek ekonomi masyarakat Melayu. Hal ini dibuktikan melalui kewujudan fasal-fasal khusus tertentu dalam teks-teks undang-undang ini yang berkaitan aspek ekonomi Melayu tradisional iaitu pertanian yang jelas bertepatan dengan muamalat Islam. Penulisan artikel ini menggunakan kaedah sejarah yang berasaskan kepada kaedah analisis teks. Sumber primer yang dirujuk bagi perbincangan pengaruh Islam dalam aspek ekonomi ini ialah teks Undang-Undang Sembilan Puluh Sembilan Perak (versi J. Rigby) dan Undang-Undang Minangkabau (versi Maxwell) yang merupakan teks undang-undang penting Perak.

This article discusses the Islamic influence on the economy aspect of the Malay in Perak prior the British colonisation based on the old Malay legal digests. Although Islamic influence in the traditional Malay legal digests were widely discussed in the previous writings, the details of the discussion focused on the Islamic influence on political aspect and sociocultural (customs). This is probably because Malay legal digests more focused on administration aspects (sultanate lineage, responsibilities and duties of the sultan in administration, ministers’ tasks), sociocultural (for example, marriage, divorce, debt, criminal offence (for example stealing and killing) and violation of Islamic teachings (such as, fail to perform prayer, didn’t fast and adultery). The situation raised a question of whether traditional Malay legal digests influenced by Islamic elements did not include the traditional Malay economic aspects. Thus, this study aims to examine the influence of Islam on the economic aspects of the Malay community based on the clauses related to land in the text of traditional Malay Law. This is because the clauses related to land are closely related to agricultural activities which are the main economy activities of the Malay community. In short, Islamic influence in the traditional Malay legal digests also included the economic aspects of the Malay. This can be proven through the existing of specific clauses in legal digests related to economy aspects of the Malay Traditional such as farming that clearly accord with Islamic muamalat. This article writing uses historical method that is text analysis. The primary resources referred to in this discussion on Islamic influence in economic aspects are The Ninety-Nine Laws of Perak (J. Rigby version) and Minangkabau Law (Undang-Undang Dua Belas) (Maxwell version) which were two important legal digests in Perak.

SUSTAINING LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP THROUGH LOVE, TRUST, AND DEDICATION AMONG MARRIED COUPLES

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0800

Today’s socio-economic aspects often shape the diverse family dynamics in which couples opt for long-distance marriages that require them to live separately and apart to earn better incomes. Living separately and away are certainly a challenge that requires appropriate action between the long-distance marriage couples. This study examines how love, trust, and commitment help married couples maintain their long-distance relationships. The importance of those three feelings in determining the continuation of marriages was the focus of the long-distance relationship factor. A total of 110 married couples living apart were the subject of the study in which intimacy, passion, and commitment comprised the three love-related dimensions that were measured. While commitment included the intention to persist, a sense of attachment, and a long-term perspective, trust was scored on a single domain. The Triangular Love Scale measured the love variable, the Dyadic Trust Scale gauged trust, the Investment Model Scale (IMS) measured commitment (Rusbult, Martz, & Agnew, 1998), and the Relationship Maintenance Scale evaluated marital maintenance. Passion (r =.294**, k.002) and trust (r =.249**, k.001) were found to have significant positive relationships with marital maintenance while only the commitment domain for long-term orientation had a similar relationship with marital maintenance (r =.199*, k.002). Therefore, the findings suggest that long-term commitment orientation, passion, and trust are likely to promote distance-separated married couples preserve their marriages. The implication is that those three facets are key drivers in preserving and enhancing long-distance marriage bonds among such couples.

ISSUES WITH IMPLEMENTING TEACHING MATERIALS FROM A STANDARDISED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME: PERSPECTIVES AMONG ESL TEACHERS

WENDY HIEW, JILL MURRAY — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0800

This study investigates the issues experienced by ESL teacher participants in implementing materials and activities from the Professional Up-skilling of English Language Teachers (ProELT) programme in their language classrooms. A review of past studies indicated limited research on large-scale, standardised professional development programmes involving English language teachers from primary and secondary schools (heterogeneous teaching levels) and urban and rural areas (heterogeneous districts) participating in the same programme. Hence, this study aims to fill this research gap by adopting a mixed methods explanatory sequential design utilising interviews, focus groups, a questionnaire survey and the ProELT coursebook. The findings reveal more than half of the modules in each section of the coursebook do not complement the Malaysia curriculum specifications for primary and secondary schools; this triangulates with the interview findings that most of the teachers found it challenging to adopt the ProELT teaching materials and activities in their lessons due to the lack of relevance of the course materials with their teaching curriculum and target students. In addition, findings from the questionnaire further substantiate the teachers’ suggestions that the ProELT content should complement the English language curriculum syllabus. The findings of this study have implications for the programme providers and the programme designers in designing future development programmes that cater to the teachers’ needs, personalising separate primary and secondary-level programme contents, and focusing on pedagogical content knowledge and subject matter vis-a-vis generic learning.

RURAL WOMEN’S POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN CHINA： AN ANALYSIS OF THE METHODS OF RURAL GOVERNANCE MODERNIZATION

ZHOU XUQING, LAI YEW MENG — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0800

With the development of China’s industrialization and urbanization, many young and middle-aged men in rural China have moved to urban areas to work. The elderly, women and children are the main permanent residents in rural China, and women account for more than half of the agricultural labour force. However, Chinese rural women are obviously in a weak and marginal position in rural political participation, which is not equal to their contribution to rural development. In 2019, China announced plans to modernize rural governance. The core is to adapt to the change of time, reform the rural governance system that does not meet the requirements of practice and development, improve the new rural governance system that combines autonomy, rule of law, and rule of virtue under the leadership of party organizations, make the rural systems more scientific and perfect, and realize the institutional, standardized, and procedural governance of rural social affairs. Rural governance is the basis of national governance. Without the modernization of rural governance, there will be no modernization of national governance, and there will be no modernization of the country. At present, China is in the stage of building socialist modernization in an all-round way, and the modernization of rural governance has been put on the agenda. Therefore, this paper assumes that the modernization of rural governance in China provides a good opportunity to improve the political participation of Chinese rural women. It aims to explore effective approaches to enhancing the level of political participation among rural women and promoting the process of rural democratization in China within the context of rural governance modernization. It achieves this by examining the primary issues surrounding the current political participation of rural women in China and analyzing the main factors contributing to these issues.
