  • Buffer Zone Concept and Its Potential Implementation in Tasek Bera
    Buffer Zone Concept and its Potential Implementation in Tasek Bera Che Bon Ahmad1, 2, Jamalunlaili Abdullah1, Jasmee Jaafar2 1 Centre for Environmental Design & Management 2 Centre of Geospatial Technology Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti7eknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Tasek Bera (TB), one of the Protected Areas (PA) in Malaysia is an important site for natural ecosystem and community’s life. Previous studies suggested that the activities around the Pas gave a great impact to the latter. Thus, the implementation and management of the surrounding areas – Buffer Zones (BZ) are necessary to safeguard the PAs. This study interviewed in- depth, six stakeholders of TB and the adjacent areas. Results indicated that although all stakeholders agreed on the overall concept and the importance of the BZs, there are disagreement in term of threats and opportunities derived from the potential implementation of it.

  • Mental Health and Trauma Counselling Module As Strategy to Enhance Counsellors’ Competency in Handling Trauma Cases Caused by Flood Calamity
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 3 ISSN: 2222-6990 Mental Health and Trauma Counselling Module as Strategy to Enhance Counsellors’ Competency in Handling Trauma Cases Caused by Flood Calamity Mohammad Nasir Bistamam1, Samsiah Mohd Jais2*, Nurul Hasyimah Mat Rani3, Mohammad Aziz Shah Mohamed Arip4, Noraini Ismail5, Muhammad Bazlan Mustafa6 Faculty of Education and Human Development, Sultan Idris Education University, Malaysia DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i3/2750 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i3/2750 Abstract Bera and Temerloh are two districts in Pahang with the worst flood calamity recorded within the country towards the end of 2014 and early 2015. This calamity has destroyed not only properties, but also deeply affected the victims psychologically especially the students. Some of the victims show symptoms of crisis and trauma in short terms and long terms which are affecting the wellbeing of their lives. These victims might suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) if their symptoms of crisis and trauma are not treated accordingly. As such, the presence of counselling teachers competent in mental health and trauma counselling are essential in such critical moment. However, most counselling teachers are not well-trained particularly in handling mental health counselling in order to help the victims. There are four main objectives of the Knowledge Transfer Program (KTP): i) to develop human capital among the Graduate Interns (GI) who would be competent in handling and transferring the mental health and trauma counselling knowledge; ii) to enhance knowledge and competency level of the counselling teachers in managing mental health and trauma counselling; iii) to increase support, coping skills and resilience of the community to bounce back and recover from the symptoms of crisis and trauma caused by the flood; and iv) to acquire recognition to the academicians as experts in mental health and trauma counselling through the Mental Health and Trauma Counselling module (MHTC).

Vol.6:No. 2 March/April 2019 FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH LEVEL OF FOOD SAFETY KNOWLEDGE AMONG FORM FOUR STUDENTS IN HULU LANGAT DISTRICT, SELANGOR Syahira S.1, *Huda B.Z.2, Mohd Rafee B.B.2 1Master in Public Health Candidate, Department of Community Health, Faculty of Medicine, University Putra Malaysia. 2Department of Community Health, Faculty of Medicine, University Putra Malaysia *Corresponding author: Huda Binti Zainuddin Email: [email protected] https://doi.org/10.32827/ijphcs.6.2.252 ABSTRACT Background: Food safety protects consumers from risks of foodborne diseases and addresses the proper handling, preparing and storing of food. With foodborne diseases still remaining an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, food safety continues to be emphasized and enhancing consumer food safety knowledge and practice is one important measure to prevent foodborne diseases. Although there are efforts of food safety education in schools, there is still limited research regarding food safety knowledge and practice amongst consumers especially school students. Therefore, this research aims to determine the level and factors associated with food safety practice among form four students in Hulu Langat district, Selangor. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study using multi-stage sampling was conducted involving 610 form four students from six secondary schools in Hulu Langat. A self- administered questionnaire was used to determine the students’ food safety knowledge scores. A cut-off point of 70% was used (scores above or below this are considered ‘Good’ or ‘Insufficient’ level of knowledge).

This study analyzed the stakeholders’ perceptions towards the potential implementation of buffer zones of the Tasek Bera wetland. The main objectives are, to determine the stakeholders’ understanding about the buffer zones and to identify issues and potentials towards the implementation. The data was based on in-depth interviews on six selected stakeholders of protected areas and buffer zones. This study confirmed that all stakeholders agreed on the importance of buffer zones, but the potential implementation was unsuccessful due to disagreement on management and implementation between stakeholders. ©© 2012 2012 Published Published by by Elsevier Elsevier Ltd.

  • Checklist of Herpetofauna of Tasek Bera Ramsar Site, Pahang
    Journal of Wildlife and Parks, 34 (2019): In press CHECKLIST OF HERPETOFAUNA OF TASEK BERA RAMSAR SITE, PAHANG *Badmanathan Munisamy, Khairul Nizam Kamaruddin, Amri Izaffi Zamahsasri, Hartini Ithnin & Mohd Firdaus Razali Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN), Peninsular Malaysia, KM 10 Jalan Cheras, 56100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. *Corresponding author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Tasek Bera Ramsar Site (TBRS) in Pahang is the largest freshwater wetland in Peninsular Malaysia and is protected under the Ramsar Convention. There are varieties of ecosystem around this wetland which support the biodiversity of flora and fauna including herpetofauna. A survey of herpetofauna in TBRS was conducted between 7th and 14th May 2014 to review the species richness in this natural wetland area. Throughout the survey, amphibians and reptiles were actively searched along the lake site, interpretive trails and nearby forests. The captured individuals were photographed and morphology measurements were taken for species identification. A total of 34 individuals comprising of 17 species were caught. Out of these 17 species, five species were amphibians from four families (Bufonidae=1; Ranidae = 2; Rhacophoridae= 1; Dicroglossidae=1), five species were snakes from three families (Colubridae=3; Elapidae=1; Viperidae=1 ) and seven species of lizards from three families (Agamidae=1; Gekkonidae=5; Varanidae=1). The ratio number of individual of amphibians to reptiles captured was almost equal (16:18). The highest captured individuals were from Family Gekkonidae. Hylarana erythraea and Gekko monarchus were the most captured species with six individuals each. These survey findings will be helpful in the management and conservation plan of wildlife, specifically herpetofauna of TBRS.
