The spread of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020 has had a major impact on the world's population. Every day, the media will report on the latest news about COVID-19, both locally and abroad. Therefore, accurate and correct information should be delivered to the public to create understanding and awareness of this pandemic. In the field of public health in Malaysia, the COVID-19 issue is considered as something new. This implied the need to translate the exact medical terms from English to Malay to ensure that the information presented is completely acceptable by the society. The efforts made by the Ministry of Health Malaysia and Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) in forming accurate terms is a proactive step. This study was conducted to describe the methods of translation, absorption, and adaptation of foreign term remuneration or a combination of such methods in forming terms in the field of public health, particularly related to the issue of COVID-19. This qualitative study was conducted by utilizing data observed from the Twitter handle, @DBPMalaysia, which aims to articulate the right terms for the issue of COVID-19. Data were taken from submissions on DBP's official social media from 18 March 2020 to 18 March 2021. A total of 54 public health terms related to the COVID-19 issue were identified and the formation methods of the terms used were analyzed. Discussions matching those terms are based on Pedoman Umum Pembentukan Istilah Bahasa Melayu Edisi Baharu (2004), published by DBP. The findings of the study indicate that the translation method is the most widely used method in the data studied, followed by a combination of translation and absorption.
A new material is prepared by encapsulating functionalized-MCM41 with 2-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine (2-thiouracil) and copper acetate monohydrate. The functionalized-MCM41 was first synthesized by using Ludox as silica source and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) as template and was modified via co-condensation method using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). The surface and textural of synthesized material have been characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption isotherms, BET surface area measurement, FT-IR, elemental analyzer and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The low-angle XRD results indicated that the CuO2(acac)-Thio-APS-MCM41has similar XRD pattern as the mesoporous MCM41 although the intensity decreases. For high-angle XRD, the results show the presence of monoclinic CuO at 2θ = 35.3 and 38.6° while N2 adsorption and BET results were revealed that the CuO2(acac)-Thio-APS-MCM41 possessed a good mesoporous structural ordering and uniform mesoporosity. FTIR spectra confirmed that the organosilane group still retained in the pore channel of the CuO2(acac)-Thio-APS-MCM41 even after modification and the band of C=S and Cu=O also appeared in CuO2(acac)-Thio-APS-MCM41 spectra with the presence of thiourea ligand and copper. Hence, the characterization results were revealed that the synthesized material has an ordered hexagonal structure, a narrow pore size distribution, a high surface area and thiourea complex were successfully grafted onto the pores of functionalized-MCM41
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
