In Malaysia, way back from 1900 to 2010, a tremendous increase of nutrition research has been published and a lot has transpired. Therefore, it is high time for Ministry of Health Malaysia with the collaborations of local universities to make use of these findings. Program managers, researchers, funders of health programs, and others should find this bibliography useful to them in designing more effective health programs and/ or evaluate the strength and weaknesses of existing programs. It is hoped that this publication will be an addition to existing reference materials on nutrition research, and thus encourage and facilitate the effective programmes to improve nutrition among Malaysians. Finally, I would like to thank and congratulate the Technical Working Group of Nutrition Research for the successful publication. Special thanks are also directed to all related agencies and individuals who have contributed towards the completion of this bibliography. DR. LOKMAN HAKIM SULAIMAN Deputy Director General of Health (Public Health) cum Chairperson of National Coordinating Committee for Food and Nutrition (NCCFN) Ministry of Health, Malaysia iii Acknowledgement It is a great honour for The Technical Working Groups of Nutrition Research under the National Coordinating Committee for Food and Nutrition (NCCFN) to be mandated to compile the abstract on Malaysian nutrition research from year 1985 to 2010. This is the continuity of the earliest efforts by the Institute of Medical Research in year 1980's. Comprehensive in terms of nutrition research category areas which were identified based on the 12 nutrition research categories, with A to L sequencing, this bibliography lists 724 entries of nutrition research in Malaysia dated from 1985 to 2010. It will be noted that some of the papers are written in Bahasa Malaysia and has been retained in this format. The author's index at the end gives a quick and valuable guide for those who are interested with the studies. I'm glad to the successful completion of this "Nutrition Research in Malaysia - Selected Bibliography of Published Journal Articles from 1985 to 2010".

This study was conducted to determine the human milk content of vitamin E. During the first 12 days of lactation milk vitamin E levels remained almost constant (day 1, 0.68 mg/dl; day 12, 0.65 mg/ dl), milk total lipid levels increased daily (day 1, 1.11 g/dl; day 12, 3.60 g/dl), and the ratio between milk vitamin E and total lipids dropped steadily (day 1, 1.3;day 12, 0.2).In spite of this drop in vitamin E status, it is unlikely that vitamin E availability will be affected in neonates, because normal neonates because normal neonates absorb milk fats well and this ability increases with age. A2 Determinants of breastfeeding duration in Peninsular Malaysia Awang H1 and Salleh AL2 1Faculty of Economics and Administration, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; 2Faculty of Business and Accountancy, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Asia Pac J Public Health 12(2):102-106, 2000 The health benefits of breastfeeding to infants and mothers have been well recognised. This study applies linear regression analysis to assess the determinants of breastfeeding duration of first born using data from the Second Malaysian Family Life Survey. The proportion of women who breastfed their first child is 82 percent, of which 97 percent reported their breastfeeding duration. The distribution of breastfeeding duration has a mean of 5.7 months and a median of two months. Important determinants of breastfeeding duration include maternal age, ethnicity, period of first birth, husband's occupation and work status of the woman. 2 A3 Risk factors associated with low birth weight infants in the Malaysian population Boo N Y 1, Lim SM1, Koh KT 1, Lau KF1, Ravindran J 2 1Department of Paediatrics, International Medical University; 2Departments of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Hospital Tuanku Jaafar Med J Malaysia 63(4): 306-310, 2008 This study aimed to identify the risk factors which were significantly associated with low birth weight (LBW, < 2,500g) infants among the Malaysian population. This was a case control study carried out at the Tuanku Jaafar Hospital, Seremban, Malaysia over a five month period. Cases were all infants born with birth weight less than 2,500g. Control infant were selected with the help of a random sampling table from among infants with birth weight of _ 2,500g born on the same day in the hospital. Of 3,341 live births delivered in the hospital, 422 (12.6%) were LBW infants. Logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for various potential confounders, the only significant risk factors associated with infants of LBW were gestational age (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.6, 95% CI : 0.5, 0.6; < 0.0001), maternal pre pregnancy weight (adjusted OR =0.97, 95% CI : 2.2, 5.1; p < 0.0001), previous history of LBW infants (adjusted OR = 2.3, 95% CI : 1.4, 3.8; p = 0.001) and PIH during current pregnancy (adjusted OR = 3.3, 95% CI : 1.6, 6.6; p = 0.001). A number of potentially preventable or treatable risk factors were identified to be associated with LBW infants in Malaysia.

However, bats are critical pollinators to commercially important agricultural products, such as durians. This study intends to confirm the role of small pteropodid bats as pollinating agents to flowering durian trees. Samplings were conducted in April 2018 to record bats visiting the flowers of two durian species,Durio zibethinus and Durio lowianus at Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) Jerangau, Terengganu. Captured bats were swabbed for conspecific pollen load on their bodies to determine their potential role as pollinators.

Floral biology and pollination strategy of Durio (Malvaceae) in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Biodiversitas 21: 5579-5594. This study was carried out to investigate on the flowering mechanisms of four Durio species in Sarawak. The anthesis started in the afternoon (D. graveolens and D. zibethinus), evening (D. kutejensis) or midnight (D. griffithii); and lasted between 11.5 hours (D. griffithii) to 20 hours (D. graveolens). All four Durio species are generalists. Individuals of a fruit bat (Eonycteris spelaea, Pteropodidae) are considered as the main pollinator for D. graveolens, D. kutejensis, and D. zibethinus while spiderhunter (Arachnothera, Nectariniidae) is also proposed as a primary pollinator for D. kutejensis. Five invertebrate taxa were observed as secondary or inadvertent pollinators of Durio spp.: honeybee, Apis sp. (Apidae), stingless bee, Tetrigona sp. (Apidae), nocturnal wasp, Provespa sp. (Vespidae), pollen beetle (Nitidulidae), and thrip (Thysanoptera). Honey bees and stingless bees pollinated all four Durio species. Pollen beetles were found to pollinate D. griffithii and D. graveolens while nocturnal wasps were found to pollinate D.

Ma­ laysia cannot continue to grow while turning its back on the sophisticated means and technologies that are increasingly available today in harnessing bioresources optimally and competitively. A primary challenge that we face is to shift from our presently labour-intensive and raw material­ based exploitation of our resources to skill- or knowledge-based means of producing value-added resources. In the past two decades, the promise of biotechnology as a commercial success in bioresource exploitation has begun to be realised. This book is the result of a seminar/workshop held in Kuching, Sarawak on 11-13 November 1996 organised by the Ministry of Industrial Development Sarawak.

  • Diversity of the Tree Flora in Semenggoh Arboretum, Sarawak, Borneo
    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 64(1): 139–169. 2012 139 Diversity of the tree flora in Semenggoh Arboretum, Sarawak, Borneo C.Y. Ling1 and S. Julia2 Botanical Research Centre, Sarawak Forestry Corporation, Km 20, Jalan Puncak Borneo, 93250 Kuching, Sarawak [email protected] (corresponding author) [email protected] ABSTRACT. A 4-ha sample plot was established at the Arboretum, Semenggoh Forest Reserve to document tree species in this lowland mixed dipterocarp forest. The area assessed contains 2837 trees with diameter at breast height ≥ 10 cm belonging to 60 families, 160 genera and 541 species. Euphorbiaceae and Malvaceae (10 genera each) were the most diverse families at genus level and Dipterocarpaceae (61 species) is most diverse at species level. More than 25% of trees (720 individuals) were dipterocarps and contributed the highest basal area (cross-sectional area over-bark at breast height measured in m2) of 16.7 m2/ha. The most abundant species are Shorea multiflora (21 trees/ha) and Pouteria malaccensis (31 trees/ha) for dipterocarp and non-dipterocarp species, respectively. Semenggoh Arboretum has a rich and diverse flora and, being a natural primary forest in the middle of an increasingly developed area, Semenggoh is important as a genetic reservoir for threatened species (particularly the dipterocarps) and as an in-situ conservation site for Sarawak’s lowland mixed dipterocarp forest. Keywords. Borneo, Dipterocarpaceae, Sarawak, Semenggoh Arboretum, tree diversity Introduction Floristic composition studies or floristic analyses are a useful tool to understand the spatial pattern of plant composition and diversity.
