Temperament assessment on guide dogs using questionnaire survey and behavior tests

Different research traditions have attempted to explain individual differences in risky driving behavior and traffic accident involvement. This study was designed to improve a model for risky driving attitudes (RDA) and to understand the mechanisms underlying drivers' risk-taking behavior in traffic. The questionnaire used in this study was composed of “the driver's behavior” questionnaire, improved by Reason, Manstead, Stradling, Baxter, and Campbell, (1990), and “the scales measuring attitudes and behavior” questionnaire, improved by Ulleberg and Rundmo (2003). The questionnaire survey was carried out among 600 drivers. Analysis revealed that risky drivers' attitudes are related to factors such as obedience to speed rules, risk-taking tendency in traffic and positive attitudes towards traffic.

Kesantunan berbahasa dalam kalangan generasi muda terutama golongan remaja perlu dititikberatkan kerana penggunaan bahasa yang tidak santun akan mengubah corak dan cara berkomunikasi serta tingkah laku mereka. Oleh hal yang demikian makalah ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan definisi kesantunan dalam kalangan pelajar universiti dan meninjau amalan kesantunan yang diamalkan ketika berkomunikasi dengan pensyarah semasa mengikuti kelas dalam talian. Kajian ini memberikan tumpuan terhadap kesantunan berbahasa dalam kalangan pelajar di Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) menggunakan pendekatan diskursif, iaitu tafsiran peserta (first-order politeness) sebagai elemen penting yang menentukan definisi kesantunan berbahasa dalam kalangan pelajar. Kajian dijalankan dengan menggunakan kaedah tinjauan soal selidik terhadap 204 orang pelajar untuk mendapatkan maklumat berdasarkan pengetahuan dan pengalaman mengamalkan kesantunan dalam kehidupan seharian sebagai seorang pelajar universiti. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa pelajar dapat memberikan definisi kesantunan secara universal walaupun terdapat perbezaan definisi kesantunan berbahasa dalam kalangan pelajar disebabkan oleh faktor yang mempengaruhi pemahaman dan amalan mereka tentang kesantunan berbahasa. Language politeness among the younger generation, especially teenagers, should be emphasized because impolite language will change their patterns and ways of communication, and behavior. Therefore, this paper aims to clarify the definition of politeness among university students and review their politeness practices when communicating with lecturers while attending online classes. This study focuses on language politeness among students at Universiti Malaysia Sabah using a discursive approach namely the interpretation of participants (first-order politeness) as an important element that determines the definition of language politeness among students. The study was conducted using a questionnaire survey method among 204 students to obtain information based on the knowledge of and the experience in practicing politeness in their daily lives as university students. The results of the study found that students can provide a universal definition of politeness even though there are differences in the definition of language politeness among students due to factors that influence their understanding and practice of language politeness.

And Behavior

There is extensive interest in SiGe for use in heterojunction bipolar transistors. SiGe/Si superlattices are also of interest because of their potential for use in infrared detectors and field-effect transistors. The processing required for these materials is quite compatible with existing silicon technology. However, before SiGe can be used extensively for devices, there is a need to understand and then control the origin and behavior of defects in the materials. The present study was aimed at investigating the structural quality of, and the behavior of defects in, graded SiGe layers grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).The structures investigated in this study consisted of Si1-xGex[x=0.16]/Si1-xGex[x= 0.14, 0.13, 0.12, 0.10, 0.09, 0.07, 0.05, 0.04, 0.005, 0]/epi-Si/substrate heterolayers grown by CVD. The Si1-xGex layers were isochronally grown [t = 0.4 minutes per layer], with gas-flow rates being adjusted to control composition. Cross-section TEM specimens were prepared in the 110 geometry. These were then analyzed using two-beam bright-field, dark-field and weak-beam images. A JEOL JEM 200CX transmission electron microscope was used, operating at 200 kV.
