New Narrative of Malaysia Foreign Policy (Penerbit USM)
New Narrative of Malaysian Foreign Policy attempts to present a new approach to the understanding of Malaysian Foreign Policy. The focus is on the nontraditional factors of political sentiments, strategic drivers and the ‘Do-it-yourself’ (DIY) methodology. Three themes have become the book’s core narrative: the Malays-Then and Now; Malaysia’s Cooperation with its ASEAN Neighbours and Malaysia’s attempt at balancing its relations with the world. All the ideas are brought together in a final part of the book. In the book, the country’s responses to the changing strategic environment and the different strategic drivers that have impacted on our value-system and influenced our diplomatic actions over the years have been analysed and evaluated.
Local Knowledge Transfer Mechanisms (Penerbit USM)
Local and indigenous cultures hold certain knowledge and expertise, which have developed and continue to be enhanced over time. Much of these have been adopted into local communities with ease. With the advent of globalisation and modernisation, a large part of this knowledge and expertise is no longer practiced and will gradually be lost if efforts are not taken to preserve, conserve and transfer it to the community. Six chapters of research findings have been documented in this book, bringing together researchers committed to local knowledge in sharing their work particularly the methodology of knowledge transfer. Thus, new ideas are presented to promote the practice of preserving and conserving local knowledge to the practitioners, students and communities.
Local Knowledge for a Globalized World (Penerbit USM)
Local knowledge refers to knowledge and expertise, which originate from local and indigenous cultures that have developed over time. Its practices have been absorbed naturally and effortlessly into the local communities. However, due to globalization and modernization, much of this knowledge has not been practiced and will be lost in time if efforts are not taken to preserve, conserve and transfer it to the community. Through the discussion of six articles written based on local and international research findings, this book brings together researchers committed to local knowledge in sharing the process of documentation on local knowledge transfer issues and challenges, and the methodology of knowledge transfer. Thus, new ideas are presented to promote the practice of preserving and conserving local knowledge to the practitioners, students and communities.
Tsunami Education, Protection and Preparedness (Penerbit USM)
Since the 2004 Andaman Tsunami, we have been constantly reminded about the reported threats of earthquakes and tsunamis worldwide. The recent earthquake in Padang, Indonesia and the tsunami in Samoa Islands in 2009 as well as the large destructive earthquake in Haiti in 2010 reinforce the perceived threats. This timely series of the South China Sea Tsunami Workshop (SCSTW) was first organized by Academia Sinica Taipei, Taiwan on 5–7 December 2007 to promote community awareness and preparedness as well as scientific research on tsunami early warning systems and related hazards, hoping to achieve tsunami resilient communities. The Second SCSTW was organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University o...

Pemetaan Otak dan Roh serta Beberapa Rahsianya (Penerbit USM)
Otak manusia berada di tempat yang paling atas dan ditutupi dengan lapisan-lapisan kulit, tulang, dura, araknoid dan pia. Terdapat lubang tertentu pada tulang untuk membenarkan sambungan antara otak dengan saraf tunjang, saraf dan salur darah. Otak juga dikelilingi oleh cecair yang dinamakan cecair otak. Dengan adanya lapisan-lapisan dan cecair tersebut, maka otak dilihat sebagai organ yang istimewa dan mesti dilindungi dari perkara luaran. Kajian menunjukkan kandungan otak adalah 70% cecair dan 30% pepejal; 60% pepejal otak terdiri daripada lemak. Oleh yang demikian, walaupun cecair otak adalah sedikit, apungan tetap ada di dalam tengkorak otak. Apabila diteliti, posisi otak juga membengkok...
Scientific and Technical Knowledge in Preserving Local Culture (Penerbit USM)
Scientific and Technical Knowledge in Preserving Local Culture explore the subject of local wisdom that focus on the use of technology as a medium for art and heritage conservation. It is important to ensure the sustainability of the resources, tangible and intangible culture in the future. Most local wisdom knowledge is transferred orally from one generation to another, and through this process, a lot of local cultural heritage have been lost. In many cases, Malay local wisdom which includes knowledge, beliefs, values, practices and teachings in the past and the present is unique to the culture and society. This knowledge should be explored and the research on preserving heritage through technology should focus on the importance and effectiveness of the use of technology and its relationship with the younger generation.
