Budaya ‘Cut And Paste’ Punca Kemerosotan Kualiti Penyelidikan Pelajar IPTA
KOTA KINABALU, 23 Mac (Bernama) — Budaya mengambil maklumat daripada internet atau lebih dikenali sebagai ‘cut and paste‘ merupakan antara punca kemerosotan kualiti penyelidikan di kalangan pelajar institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) di negara ini, kata Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Dr Radin Umar Radin Sohadi.
Beliau berkata penggunaan komputer dan internet untuk mendapatkan maklumat yang diperlukan telah mencetuskan budaya kerja “cut and paste” dan sehingga mengabaikan proses penyelidikan untuk maju ke hadapan.
“Walaupun kemudahan komputer dan internet menjadi alat pembelajaran terpenting pada hari ini, namun pelajar IPTA tidak seharusnya membudayakan amalan ini kerana ia tidak menggambarkan ciri-ciri kesarjanaan graduan yang berkualiti dan berwibawa.
“Graduan sepatutnya mempunyai kebolehan yang menyeluruh dan tidak semata-mata bergantung kepada ICT,” katanya ketika berucap pada majlis perasmian 1 Megalab, di Perpustakaan Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Likas dekat sini hari ini.

Jambatan Pulau Pinang sesak teruk, kren terbalik
GEORGETOWN: Jambatan Pulau Pinang menghala Seberang Prai mengalami kesesakan teruk berikutan kren terbalik di Kilometer 3.6 jambatan itu, awal pagi ini.
Kren yang terbabit dalam kerja pelebaran jambatan itu terbalik kira-kira jam 3 pagi dan menghalang satu lorong di atas jambatan yang mempunyai dua lorong itu.
Berikutan kejadian itu, hanya satu lorong laluan menuju Seberang Prai dibuka yang menyebabkan kesesakan teruk di semua laluan masuk jambatan dari arah Lebuhraya Jelutong, Gelugor dan Bayan Lepas.
Ketika ini, kerja mengalihkan kren berkenaan sedang dilakukan dan Penang Bridge Sdn Bhd dijangka membuka laluan kontra bagi mengurangkan kesesakan.
Friday, March 13th, 2009 | Uncategorized | Comments Off on Android leads Linux mobile sales higher
Google’s Android operating system gave Linux-on-mobile sales a healthy boost in the fourth quarter of 2008. In its latest report on the state of smartphones, IT analysts Gartner said that Linux-based mobile sales increased from 2.7 million units in the fourth quarter of 2007 to 3.2 million units at the end of 2008. This was despite a general slowdown in growth for the entire smartphone sector over the same period.
Gartner estimates that HTC’s G1 Android-based mobile smartphone accounted for as much as 20% of Linux sales during the quarter. All told, Linux-on-mobile sales climbed 19.5 percent during the quarter when compared with the corresponding 2007 quarter.
Comparing 2008 with 2007, however, the picture is not as rosy. Linux-based smartphone sales in 2008 were down 4.2 percent over 2007 sales. Sales of Apple’s iPhone in 2008 were a massive 245.7 percent higher than in 2007 and Research in Motion’s Blackberry devices increased sales by 96.7 percent.
At the top of the operating system pile Symbian remained dominant, accounting for 52.4 percent of the smartphone market in 2008. This was, however, down 6.1 percent over 2007 as Symbian also lost ground to Apple’s Mac OS X and RIM. Microsoft’s Windows Mobile managed to increase its sales by 12.2 percent when comparing 2007 and 2008.
