The advancement of technology has enabled powerful microprocessors to render high-quality graphics for computer gaming. Despite being intended for leisure purposes, several components of the games alongside the gamer’s environmental factors have resulted in digital addiction (DA) towards computer games such as massively multiplayer online games (MMOG). Excessive gaming among adolescents has various negative impacts on an individual. However, only a few researchers have addressed the impact of DA on physical health. Thus, the primary objective of this research is to study the impact of DA on physical health among Malaysian adolescents. This study focuses on Malaysian adolescents of ages 12–18 years old who are addicted to computer games, specifically the MMOG. The methodology used for the study involves focus group discussions (FGD) and extensive literature study. The FGD sessions have involved both medical experts and game experts. The outcome of FGD discussion is recorded and justified with the existing relevant literature from high-impact journals, theses, conferences, books, and reports. This paper provides evidence of five physical health impacts of DA associated with adolescents. The factors of DA, the addiction components existing in MMOG computer games, and the DA health risk assessment are presented in the results section. Based on the study, it is concluded that DA among Malaysian adolescents can cause various impacts on physical health such as obesity, back pain, and neck pain, orthopaedic/joint muscle, eyesight problem, hearing problem, as well as physical inactivity.

Digital Addiction: Systematic Review of Computer Game Addiction Impact on Adolescent Physical Health

Since the 1990s, Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) have been largely unsuccessful in the collection of tacit knowledge. This includes direct input by the holder of the tacit knowledge into a KMS or through an intermediary such as the collection of tacit knowledge through interviews and videos then posting the data to a KMS. The reasons span the organizational, technological, and individual. In this paper, we concentrate on the tacit knowledge reasons that spans the technological and individual. We believe that tacit knowledge can be effectively and consistently collected from the contributors themselves and placed into a KMS by the contributors using a storytelling-based approach. This study extends past research that collected stories using interviews and videos. The methodology utilizes a storytelling-based KMS, developed in a relational database management system (RDBMS), for Domain Experts (DEs) to contribute their tacit knowledge. It is hypothesized that having contributors use stories to enter their tacit knowledge themselves into a KMS will overcome their reluctance thus making the overall process successful. Once tacit knowledge is entered into a KMS, it becomes explicit knowledge available to anyone who requires it.

Children with Dyscalculia show deficits in the basic understanding of quantities and numbers, which cause difficulties in math skills acquisition despite adequate schooling. This study summarizes the current knowledge regarding causes, diagnosis and treatment of Dyscalculia in Malyasia from a clinician’s perspective. The findings reveal that Dyscalculia is a brain based specific learning disability, which often co-exist with other neurological disorders such as Dyslexia and attention-deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD). Symptoms of Dyscalculia include difficulty in reading, writing, counting, arithmetic calculation, direction co-ordination, finger counting agnosia and time management. A computer-based Diagnosis of Dyscalculia should measure all the possible difficulties that are faced by Dyscalculic patient along with other disorders that might co-exist with Dyscalculia and IQ. Care can be provided to Dyscalculia children using one-on-one intervention and the implementation of a standard policy based on health professionals, teachers, parents for diagnosis and treatment. The study also shows the need for more research into the current situation, diagnosis and intervention of dyscalculic cases in Malaysia to help meet the needs of these dyscalculic children.

A web page that adopts knowledge components concepts is able to help its users in delivering or obtaining information and knowledge through websites itself In this study, the adoption of knowledge components is implemented through an agent and it is compared to other types of FAQ A well-structured agent and its knowledge components will benefit the websites users and motivates them to leverage on usage of the FAQ This research also includes the development of knowledge components, agent and the result of observation is done to view user’s perception Program D works as the interpreter is part of the methodology, which is created using open source Artificial Intelligence Mark-up Language (AIML) and Program D The system implementation includes Knowledge Warehouse, which stores and organized the knowledge components The goal of this study is to develop the knowledge components and it is implemented through agent The outcome of this study is measured by comparing the agent with knowledge components with link type FAQ and top down FAQ These three types of FAQ serve the same purpose, which is to cater frequent normal questions and ad-hoc queries from website users It is hope that a well-structured knowledge component could enhance the usage of Internet FAQ where people could benefit an appropriate and relevant answer upon having any enquiries

This study aims to explore the effects of flipped classroom implementation on students’ academic achievement. Three courses that was offered to Information System students implemented the flipped classroom approach with the support of ULearn Learning Management System (LMS) over twelve (12) weeks of learning. Students’ coursework assessments and examination scores were compared between controlled groups that employed traditional teachingapproach and experimental groups which introduced the flipped learning approach. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the median and mean total marks of the two learning approaches, as well as data consistency for the mean total marks. Results show that median and mean total marks were higher in experimental group when compared to the control group for Knowledge Management System (KMS) and Information System Strategy & Planning (ISP)courses. This is proof that flipped classroom approach is a potential student-centred learning approach that can improve students’ academic achievement by encouraging students to be deep learners and promoting self-directed learning and life-long learning through the time optimization of out-class lectures and in-class active and collaborative learning activities.
