However, women’s representation as a leader in organizations is still low, especially in Southeast Asian countries. Hence, the focus of this paper is to explore the leadership styles among women leaders in government agencies and private organizations in Sabah. This paper applied the quantitative research method with a gender perspective, which was participated by 282 respondents in the survey. The results showed five leadership styles: democratic, autocratic, laissez-faire, transactional and transformational. Among those leadership styles, women in Sabah practised democratic, transactional, transformational and laissez-faire styles in leading their subordinates and organization. Meanwhile, autocratic is less applied by woman leaders in Sabah.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> <em>Women leaders, leadership styles, government agencies, private organizations, quantitative method.</em></p> 2023-12-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://majmuah.com/journal/index.php/bij/article/view/612 A Review of Feature-based Technique in Text-based Steganography 2023-11-17T14:49:34+00:00 Siti Norussaadah Mohd Salleh ssaadah84@gmail.com Roshidi Din roshidi@uum.edu.my Nur Haryani Zakaria haryani@uum.edu.my <p>Text steganography is one of the major forms of data security in communication. It is widely applied in the modern digital era for securely transferring confidential and private data without raising any suspicions. The well-known technique in text steganography called feature-based is used to conceal information. This technique manipulates and alters some features of characters in the cover message before sending it out to the intended recipient. The modifications are ensured won’t compromise the integrity of the secret message.&nbsp; This paper presents an overview of the feature-based technique used in the text domain. The review is conducted according to approaches applied in the feature-based technique. Hence, the main aim of this paper is to review the technique used and highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each technique used in text steganography for safely hiding the secret message. The conclusion emphasizes how the feature-based technique is advantageous for providing data protection by avoiding the detection of third parties during the delivery of the information.</p> 2023-12-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://majmuah.com/journal/index.php/bij/article/view/617 The Use and Mastery of the Javanese Language among New Generation 2023-11-17T14:49:34+00:00 Azlina Bujang azlina80@uitm.edu.my Yussri Sawani yussrii@uitm.edu.my Aiza Johari azlina80@uitm.edu.my Zainon Haji Bibi azlina80@uitm.edu.my Siti Huzaimah Sahari huzaimahs@uitm.edu.my <p>This paper explores the use and mastery of the Javanese language among the new generation of the Sarawak Javanese community in Malaysia. The Sarawak’s Javanese community, descended from Javanese migrants who settled in Sarawak, represents a unique linguistic and cultural group within the region. The research aims to investigate the current status of the Javanese language among the Sarawak Javanese new generation and understand the factors that influence its usage and proficiency. A mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys, is employed to gather the data. This study used purposive sampling technique, involving Javanese community groups in several major settlement locations in the State of Sarawak, Malaysia. The findings reveal that the use of Javanese among the Sarawak Javanese new generation is influenced by various factors such as family background, community dynamics, educational exposure, socio-economic factors, and the influence of dominant languages such as Malay and English. While certain factors contribute to language proficiency, there are also barriers that need to be addressed. The findings also highlight the importance of community support, educational initiatives, and the preservation of cultural identity to ensure the continued use and mastery of the Javanese language among the Sarawak Javanese new generation.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Javanese language, Javanese community, language preservation, Javanese youths</p> 2023-12-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://majmuah.com/journal/index.php/bij/article/view/618 Artificial Intelligence Technology Adoption in TVET: A Survey From the Perspective of Lahad Datu Community College Students 2023-11-17T14:49:34+00:00 Ahmad Al-Munzir Ridzuan munzir5059@gmail.com Nurfatin Syafawani Junaidi munzir5059@gmail.com <p>This study aims to examine the acceptance of artificial intelligence technology in Technical and Vocational Education and Training by Lahad Datu Community College students using the Technology Acceptance Model as the basic framework.

Efforts to combat student disengagement include the development of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS), aimed at identifying and addressing instances where students lose interest in tasks, ultimately addressing the complex challenge of school dropout through technology-driven interventions. It is difficult to predict disengagement on a trial-by-trial basis, especially in complicated cognitive areas. In order to identify the risk of school disengagement among vulnerable secondary school pupils, the <em>MyBuddy</em>mobile application was created as a smart classifier. The functioning engine of <em>MyBuddy</em>is translated from a computational model made up of fourteen predictors for the four primary entities of student, family, school, and environment. The application employs advanced mathematical models to assess data and generate risk scores, which indicate the probability of student dropout. The recent technical assessment of MyBuddy, conducted by 27 experts using seven measurement metrics, has yielded positive results affirming the application's overall interactivity. However, the assessment also pinpointed specific areas where enhancements are warranted. Notably, improvements are needed in the clarity of error messages and notifications, responsiveness of touch gestures, and the clarity of icons and labels within MyBuddy. This insight provides a clear roadmap for refining MyBuddy, ensuring that these identified aspects are enhanced to further elevate the application's user experience and overall effectiveness. <em>MyBuddy</em>provides a centralized platform for accessing and analyzing combined data from multiple schools, enabling the identification of patterns, trends, and systemic issues contributing to dropout rates. It seeks to bring a transformation in dropout prevention and promote a more inclusive and fair education system in Kedah, Malaysia, aligning with the fourth Sustainable Development Goal that strives to ensure quality education for all.</p> 2023-11-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://majmuah.com/journal/index.php/bij/article/view/620 MyLife - Web-based Personalised Diary 2023-11-17T14:49:35+00:00 Lee Tzong Ying hussain@uum.edu.my Wan Hussain Wan Ishak hussain@uum.edu.my <p>"MyLife" is an innovative web-based platform that redefines the concept of journaling.
