...The Peranakan Baba Nyonya Culture:(2008) 161 - or Disappearance? Sari 26 Resurgence 170 161 The Peranakan Baba Nyonya Culture: Resurgence or Disappearance? LEE SU KIM ABSTRAK Kacukan budaya boleh terjadi dalam banyak bentuk dan pilih atur, termasuk peminjaman kata-kata dan pengambilan amalan sosial dan kepercayaan dan juga penyesuaian pakaian dan makanan. Corak penghijrahan dan pengaliran kebudayaan di Asia Tenggara telah menjana perkembangan yang tersebut dan lain-lain pada masa dan di tempat yang berlainan. Di bawah keadaan yang tertentu, suatu kumpulan etnik yang baru atau yang dikesan sebagai yang berbeza daripada kumpulan etnik yang ada mungkin muncul. Kumpulan etnik yang dimaksudkan adalah Peranakan Baba Nyonya. Ia terjadi pada abad ke 15 ketika orang Cina tiba di Melaka dan berkahwin campur dengan wanita tempatan. Kebudayaan peranakan adalah gabungan unik antara kebudayaan Cina dan Melayu dengan campuran daripada penyintesisan unsur kebudayaan Java, Batak, Thai dan British, melambangkan faham pelbagai budaya dan pelakuran lama sebelum terciptanya istilah-istilah itu..Kini, dunia peranakan sudah menghilang. Kata kunci: Peranakan, Baba, Nyonya, kebangkitan semula, keunikan ABSTRACT Hybridity of cultures can take many forms and permutations, including the borrowing of words and the adoption of social practices and beliefs, and the adaptation of dress and food.

...Name: Yeap Chun Siang Matrix number: BACF 14091155 Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain resulting from demanding circumstances. Stress is a normal part of our life and it is not a totally bad thing. It can motivate us to do our job better and train our determination. However, if we do not handle the stress very well, it becomes long-term stress and it will affect our live seriously. Stress can be divided into two types; work stress and life stress. Work stress means that we are facing some problems in our jobs and works. For example, we are unhappy in our job because of low salary and long working hours. Another example of work stress includes the person is working under dangerous condition. If I were the person, I will be stressful because I have to be very careful in my daily works. If I were careless even one time, I might lose my life at my working places. If I had died, then who is going to take care of my family members? Other than that, most of the employees are having a heavy workload or too much responsibility. Their boss is giving them too much of work and demand them to finish the work very well. Therefore, stress comes into the employees. Life stress means that we are facing some problems in our daily life. People who had divorced or lost their loved one will have stress in their life. They might feel sad and emotional because of heart breaking. Another example is the employee loses his or her job. The salary might support their family but...

...Spiral Progression Model (Summary and Reaction) The Department of Education Order (DO) no. 31, series of 2012, describes the new curriculum this way: “The overall design of the Grades 1 to 10 curriculum follows the spiral approach across subjects by building on the same concepts developed in increasing complexity and sophistication starting from grade school. Teachers are expected to use the spiral/progression approach in teaching competencies.” One thing notable about this progression model is that it will provide a beautiful continuum of learning for the student from kinder until he or she graduates from basic education curriculum. At the onset of the continuum the learner is given a good start by having a good grasp of the basic concepts or the foundational objectives through the use of mother tongue-based learning to the students. This would make it easier for the students to learn the concepts because their attention is not divided into learning the English language and understanding the concept itself. Now, the students may focus on learning the concept first and later on learn the English language on a spiral growth rate. It should also be noted that this curriculum with the spiral approach would not only be introduced in science and math but in all subject areas from grades 1 to 10. But what is the spiral approach? The Spiral Progression Model is an approach in teaching which provides to its students first the basic facts of a subject without worrying about details...

...the initial letters of all the sentences and the letter “I” is always capitalized. Therefore, the strong resemblance in the orthographic feature, that may be due to the absence of autocorrect function in the mobile phone, it can be postulated that the unknown author is author M. Moving on to colloquial idiosyncratic, upon analyzing unknown author’s text, a few colloquial lexis that was used in the messages, namely “confirmed kena” and “shit stirrer” were found. Words such as “kena”, “jialat”, “bo jio” and “sekali” and several other lexicons are examples of Singlish lexicons (Leimgruber, 2011). These colloquial idiosyncrasies were found to be frequently used in author M’s messages too, where some examples are “sekali all the saibus there”, “yeap... jialat liao…” and “she chio”. However, this feature was something that is absent in author D’s writings in both of his conversation. As mentioned by Hubbard (1995) every author’s style is thought to have certain features that are independent of the author’s will and these features are seen to be subconscious and automatic habits that are developed to become typical of the author (as cited in Michell, 2013). Based on the frequent usage of colloquial lexicons by author M it can be postulated that the usage of colloquial lexis is something that is habitual to the author. As idiosyncratic features can be uniquely used by the individuals and since it cannot be consciously manipulated by the author, based on strong resembles of the usage of...

The Mathematics Educator 2005, Vol. 8. N0.2. 53-70 Working with Logarithms: Students' Misconceptions and Errors Chua Boon Liang and Eric Wood National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University Abstract: This study examines secondary school students' understandings and misconceptions when working with logarithms using a specially designed test instrument administered to 81 students in two Singapore schools. Questions were classified by cognitive level. The data were analysed to uncover the kinds of errors made and their possible causes. Students appear capable of doing routine calculations but less capable when answering questions which require higher levels of cognitive thinking. In addition, many errors are not due to lack of knowledge but appear to be based on over-generalisation of algebraic rules. Suggestions for practice based on these findings are provided. Introduction Anecdotal evidence from teachers and colleagues over the years has consistently confirmed that teaching logarithms in secondary school...
