Flexural strength studies on lightweight composite floor structures previously focused on trapezoidal cross-sections. The scope of this study is focused on the flexural strength test on a composite prism that changed the cross section of the metal deck from a trapezium to a rectangle cross section. The objective of this study is to identify the value of flexural strength composite prism by focusing on various parameter factors including cross-section, the use of dry boards and concrete infill. Apart from that, a comparison of the flexural strength value will be made on the cross section difference between the trapezium and rectangle composite prism compared to the control sample. Data analysis results found an increase in rectangular composite prisms without dry board concrete infill (P6 Sample), which is 68% compared to trapezoidal composite prisms (P3 Sample) of only 41%. The bending moment for the P6 sample also increased by 74% compared to the P3 sample which was only 34%. Overall, the objective of this study was achieved when it was possible to identify a significant increase driven by the change in cross-section from the original shape of a trapezoid to a rectangle where there was a 27% increase in the moment of inertia. Therefore, this study has a positive impact, where the proposed rectangular cross-section profiled steel panel can be made into a high-performance lightweight composite panel structure for domestic buildings to support the use of the Industrialized Building System (IBS) in the future.

A carbon monoxide sensing circuit was successfully developed, and by utilizing the Arduino microcontroller, it enabled the monitoring of CO concentration in parts per million (ppm). Four key parameters were systematically varied to assess their impact on sensor performance: detecting distance and response time within the 5, 10, 1, and 20 cm range; temperature (24, 27, 30, 33, 36, and 40 °C); and relative humidity (35-45%, 45-55%, and 55-65%). Results show that the optimal detecting distance for the MQ7 sensor was within 5 cm, registering the highest CO concentration at 596 ppm. The fastest response time was recorded at 3.76 seconds within the 5 cm range. Temperature significantly influenced CO detection, with the highest concentration observed at 30 °C (740 ppm) and the second highest at 33 °C (633 ppm). Additionally, humidity levels of 55-65% relative humidity contributed to the highest CO detection, reaching 740 ppm at 62.4% humidity. These findings provide valuable insights for refining MQ7 sensor operating conditions in agricultural biomass gasification settings, enhancing the precision of CO monitoring for improved safety and environmental control within the facilities.

For a long time, farmers faced the problem of mixing fertilizers manually, this happened because there was no awareness among a few people that it is important to mix fertilizers with the right amount to get enough suitable fertilizers for healthy plant growth. Therefore, almost all the articles are the same which is the financial crisis of farmers, and the quality of crops is decreasing because their crops are not growing healthy. So, this project inspired me to help get accurate measurements when mixing fertilizer over a long period of time. This is not only to get accurate measurements but to design and develop new methods for the next project which is the design including IoT systems. As a result, my Fertilizer mixer or called FertiQuitS must be innovated which is more useful and efficient for farmers to use as their crucial equipment. The possible advantage is the costs of labours that mix fertilizer manually decrease. To wrap it all up, I try to prove to the community, especially the agriculture company, that even though my product is just a prototype it still can function as a high-quality product just like the name given. Based on the hypothesis, the best recommendation for future projects is to make this product more powerful and give it a better look. RF10 PROJECT ABSTRACT RESEARCH FUNDAMENTALS

Unclean food can contain harmful substances or bacteria that can cause food-borne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, food poisoning, hepatitis A, and others. Meanwhile, food handlers also need to ensure that the clothes worn when handling food are clean, appropriate, and do not contribute to any food contamination because the main factor that is often associated with the occurrence of foodborne diseases is hygiene and food safety. The purpose of this study is to identify the level of knowledge of food operators about food safety at Tanjung Aru Beach stalls and to identify the attitudes and practices of food operators at Tanjung Aru Beach stalls. This study was conducted at Tanjung Aru Beach in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, using a questionnaire. The respondents consisted of a total of 66 food operators licenced by Tanjung Aru Beach Asset & Service Management. The results of the study were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27 software method. Therefore, the results of the study found that the respondents had good knowledge about food safety. However, the study found that the respondents had less knowledge about how Typhim VI injection can prevent typhoid disease (72%). The results of the study also found that respondents have a positive attitude towards handling food. Findings found that respondents have a good attitude by cleaning the workplace before starting work (72%). The respondent's practice in handling food shows that the practice of scratching the face and hair while handling food is not very satisfactory, with a mean result of 2.46. Knowledge, practice, and attitude are closely related to food safety and have a P-value of 0.069. Therefore, this study can provide guidance to Kota Kinabalu City Hall on how to plan a system and improve aspects of food hygiene. Therefore, continuous monitoring should be carried out to ensure that food safety is at an optimal level in Tanjung Aru Beach and is free from infectious diseases.

ISSUE OF LESS SUPPLYING LOCAL RICE IN BERNAS INDUSTRY ADZWINA BINTI MUHAMMAD ABBY ELLVERA JUNNE EGATHISWARY A/P SARAVANAN NADIATUL AISYAH BINTI SAHIDAN MASLIZA IDANI MAHMOOD (SUPERVISOR) Abstract Food is a basic thing in a person's life. It is not appropriate when a food shortage crisis, especially local rice occurs in our country. Several factors including market demand, pricing and government policies can influence the choice to supply imported rice instead of local rice. Importing rice may be more cost-effective in some cases, especially if local production cannot meet the demand or if imported rice is available at a lower cost. It's essential to consider the specific circumstances and policies in place in the region or country to understand why imported rice is being supplied over local rice. But it is becoming more and more a question mark of society now. Where is the disappearance of our local rice? The first issue for less supply of local rice is less demand for local rice. Nowadays, there is no demand for local rice which can be solved by building partnerships between manufacturers and farmers. This can indirectly increase the production of local rice. Secondly, the issue with supplying less local rice is there is no price ceiling for imported rice because the price of imported rice is based on market price, and the solution to this issue is government should provide a subsidy to paddy farmers. The third issue is manipulative action by wholesalers. So, the solution is the government should have an audit examination of the factory. So that there will be no deviation and examine the supplications. The last issue of less supplication of local rice is climate change and natural disasters, which can be solved by planting paddy in buildings under the artificial sun.
