ABSTRAK

Lukisan merupakan satu matapelajaran yang diajar di sekolah, kolej dan di kebanyakan institusi
pengajian tinggi. Terdapat pelbagai jenis matapelajaran atau modul yang memerlukan kepada
penggunaan lukisan dan alatan melukis. Kanak-kanak sejak dari sekolah tadika hingga ke
pelajar universiti memerlukan mereka melukis. Tidak hanya terhad di pusat pengajian, tugasan
tersebut memerlukan pelajar melukis di rumah atau dalam erti kata lain terpaksa membawa
pulang tugasan. Maka, sudah tentu penggunaan papan lukis atau meja lukis serta peralatan
melukis diperlukan. Bagi pelajar di dalam bidang teknikal, penggunaan meja drafting adalah
satu keperluan dalam menghasilkan lukisan teknikal atau lukisan persembahan secara manual.
Namun begitu, pelajar mengalami kesukaran untuk menyiapkan kerja atau tugasan di rumah
kerana ketiadaan meja drafting atau meja yang sesuai untuk melukis lukisan teknikal.
Tambahan di musim pandemik Covid’19 ini, pelajar tidak dibenarkan untuk berada di kampus
menyebabkan kekangan kepada pelajar untuk mempunyai peralatan melukis yang lengkap.
Saiz drawing board yang berada di pasaran agak besar dan mahal harganya. Justeru,
penghasilan meja drafting serta alatan melukis yang mudah di bawa ke mana-mana amatlah
diperlukan. Untuk menyelesaikan masalah tersebut, maka terhasil produk yang dinamakan
Foldable Drafting Board. Rekaan Foldable Drafting Board ini bersaiz A3 dan boleh dilipat
menjadi saiz A4, seterusnya boleh disimpan di dalam beg galas menjadikan ia sangat praktikal
untuk digunakan. Bahan yang digunakan adalah dari plywood dengan ketebalan 5mm
menjadikan ia sangat ringan. Selain itu, ia juga dilengkapi dengan tiub penyimpanan kertas
lukisan dan beg alatan melukis.

ABSTRACT

Overflow of the drainage caused by surface run-off of water could lead to flood events. Floods
are the most common natural disaster that occurred in Malaysia mostly due to heavy rainfall.
Floods cause negative impacts on the community, especially in terms of physical, economic,
and social problems. Thus, the public needs to be sensitively aware of the flood occurrence. A
surface drainage-overflow mobile application has been developed as a science-based
(hydraulic and hydrometeorology) information on overflow prediction. The prediction is based
on the flow depth of water and local rainfall data. This application is a community-based project
where the prediction can be observed by the public themselves. The objective of this
application is to provide tools that can assist the community to observe the early potential of
flood occurrences in their area. They only need to measure the drainage dimensions at their
nearby location. The data is filled in the mobile apps as raw data. The apps administrator will
simulate visualization of increasing and decreasing water depth for that drainage in every 10
minutes interval based on the direct rainfall forecasting of 2-hours radar imageries from the
Department of Meteorological Malaysia (METMalaysia) website. Therefore, the public will
have 2-hours ahead to react to the situations and take preventative measures. This app not only
allows the public to easily keep an eye on any potential flood issues but also will increase the
confidence in their safety even in flood risk areas.

ABSTRACT

Managing solid waste is a challenge especially in disposing the collected waste. Landfilling
has a negative impact on the environment yet; Malaysia relies heavily on this method to
dispose of waste. For urban areas, the complexity will incur since the population growth is
proportional to the amount of waste produced. Problems such as less land will be available for
landfill, odour, soil and water pollution, risk of flash flood occurrence, and high carbon
emission, are more likely to occur. To mitigate these problems, a sustainable waste disposal
approach could be applied by emphasizing on recycling programs for all households in urban
areas in Malaysia. However, lack of accessibility to recycling facilities resulted in lack of
public participation. Moreover, inadequate capacity of these facilities caused more recyclable
items to be sent to landfills. One of the recycling facilities is recycling bins. These bins are
usually located in public spaces and accessible by all. Some supermarkets participated in the
recycling programs by preparing recycling bins within the area of premises. However, not all
places have sufficient bins for all users. Hence, the objectives of this study are to find the
suitable location and allocation for recycling bins in Seremban by using the maximum expected
coverage location problem (MEXCLP) and to analyse the recycling bins’ location-allocation
by variations of MEXCLP parameters. As a result, it was found that having three recycling bin
locations with only one bin at each location are sufficient to guarantee the locals’ accessibility
and bins availability.

ABSTRACT

Obtaining the right amount of product mix is one of the key elements for an online clothing
store to strive further. In order to gain product mix optimization, business owners have to
consider the total costing of materials obtained from the supplier. Thus, this research seeks to
address the problems of determining the optimal solution of product mix to achieve cost
minimization, and profit maximization using linear programming. The data that consists of
demand and supply of products was acquired from an interview with the owner of an online
clothing store. The objective of minimizing the cost, and maximizing the profit was achieved
by purchasing 61 pieces of satin blouses, 109 pieces of satin dresses, and 104 pieces of satin
skirts from the supplier. It was proven that linear programming is the best method for
optimization of product mix as the percentage error for cost minimization, and profit
maximization is near to zero by 0.0174 and 0.1152, respectively. This research is beneficial for
online clothing businesses, and other similar industries to take advantage of the findings
obtained.

ABSTRACT

The stock market is where the regular operations of buying, selling, and issuance of publicly
held company shares take place. The study of financial related markets had captured many
researchers in the recent past. Various methods had been implemented in solving stock market-
related problems. The purpose of this study is to model some of Malaysia’s stock markets using
the Exponential Smoothing Method (ESM) and to evaluate the model’s performance. In order
to forecast the stock market price in this work, the monthly closing prices of the chosen
Malaysian stock markets specifically MG001, PC002, DAT003, and COM004 from January
2021 to July 2021 were examined for predictably result using the ESM. The result based on
the study conducted shows a low number of errors which implies that this method is somewhat
appropriate in forecasting the stock markets.

ABSTRACT

A simple, cost-effective, and novel photocatalyst for degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid
(PFOA) was developed from molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and graphene oxide (GO)
composites. Photocatalytic degradation appeared as a future alternative for the removal of
many organic contaminants with high efficiency and energy-saving technology. In this study,
MoS2 was synthesized using a hydrothermal method, while GO was using Hummer’s method.
Physical mixing of GO with MoS2 produced at various mass ratios resulted in MoS2/GO
composites. The textural features of the composites were characterized using several
complementary techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffractometer
(XRD). From the results, MoS2/GO composite with a mass ratio of 15% exhibited the highest
degradation efficiency for PFOA compared to the other ratio. The MoS2/GO composite
exhibited excellent in pH 2, 20mg of photocatalyst dosage with 120 minutes contact time
achieve highest degradation efficiency which is at 85%.

ABSTRACT

People nowadays attempt to live more efficiently and productively by conserving more time to
perform more everyday chores. Mirrors and phones are common pieces of technology in our
daily lives. People generally prepare themselves in front of the mirror while checking their
phone for current news, weather predictions, and timetables to organise their daily routine.
However, conducting both tasks at the same time can generate significant distractions, resulting
in greater time consumption. The main goal of this project is to create a Smart Mirror that can
give information on the mirror as well as unlock the profile using a camera and facial
recognition technology. The Smart Mirror's CPU is a Raspberry Pi, and Python was used to
construct the communication platform in OpenCV. The infrared frame was added to the mirror
to enhance the touch feature. A two-way mirror's function is to offer transparency for the LCD
screen by allowing light to travel through the mirror while also acting as a conventional mirror
from the other side. Experiments were carried out by comparing the time required to complete
various activities. The results show that using Smart Mirror can save up to 300% of our time.
Face recognition has a detection range of 3 metres and a tolerance of 92%. The proposed project
is DIY-able, inexpensive, easy, time-saving, and ecologically friendly.

ABSTRACT

SCADA is an acronym that stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It enables
industrials to remotely operate processes, monitor real-time data, communicate directly with
transmitters, control valves, and motors using human interface technology, and finally record
data. The SCADA system was mostly implemented for industrial automation and not
commonly used in housing distribution switchboards (DB). A database with a SCADA system
capable of collecting and transmitting data to a control unit such as a personal computer (PC)
or smartphone, as well as a remote control, was presented. Since it is potentially harmful when
the power supply to the main switch is abruptly turned off, some users may have trouble
reactivating the circuit breaker or main switch. The primary goal is to combine serial
communication between IoT and control units. When there is a fault, the user will receive a
fault alarm message and be able to resume the electricity remotely through the system. The
switchboard receives power from an alternating current voltage of 240V. The primary switch
is linked to the auto-manual AC contactor, which controls the electrical flow both automatically
and manually. When an overload (over current) occurred, a smart household switchboard was
intended to send out a fault alert message. Nevertheless, auto cut off functions and security
functions were integrated into the system. Thus, when the water level exceeds a certain level
(flooding phenomenon), the whole DB will be cut off automatically. Besides, when a certain
smoke intensity is detected, the system will send out a phone call to the user. The suggested
system is dependable, safer, and ecologically friendly, and the notice was sent out and 100%
tripped if overload was detected.

ABSTRACT

Genetic studies affect our social practices substantially such as industrial production, crop
protection, and latest on vaccine development against new mutation of SARS-CoV-2 virus. In
recent times, the Public’s genetic literacy has grasped some attention to be improved
considering its essential for social deliberation or personal decision making on genetic-related
issues such as genetic testing. Nevertheless, plenty of studies have reported on genetic literacy,
misconceptions, and learning difficulties of genetics among publics and students from
secondary to tertiary level especially on heredity including Mendelian inheritance and
variation. A new pedagogical approach is needed as a headway for improvement and
betterment in learning genetic inheritance as early as secondary level to enhance students’
interest in mastering the fundamental concepts. The objective of this study was to determine
students’ interest in learning genetic inheritance using Famillele Educational Card Game. In
this game, students need to reunite one complete family based on clues given in the mission
card. This approach is following problem-based learning towards self-directed learning skills
of 21st-century life. A test run was conducted in a private tuition class involving 10 Form four
students divided into two groups. Data was collected based on observation, and students’
feedback. Video recording was conducted during the administrative session and most students
show a positive attitude during the session. They enjoy playing Famillele in contrast to
conventional learning methods using static diagrams in textbooks. This result concludes that
Famillele is suitable as a supporting tool in self-directed learning while providing a real
complex scenario of genetic inheritance. Improvement was also made on suggestions given;
Famillele is now available in three difficulty levels (beginner, intermediate and advance).

ABSTRACT

The global economy is currently facing a significant production and demand gap for bread
production. This is quite noticeable as many industries have been affected by COVID-19
nowadays. This research aims to set up relevant constraints regarding costs and resources for
the bakery to overcome shortage or oversupply as well as to optimize profit and minimize the
cost of production by applying a Linear Programming model. The linear inequalities of the
constraints of ingredients and cost for the problem solved and performed using Excel Solver
and the production results by the bakery are optimally obtained. The constraints were found to
be fully utilized hence satisfied the demand for each bread per day. Sensitivity analysis, which
is robust to the result obtained, was used to verify, and validate this research. As for the impact,
this research provides an in-depth understanding of the applications of linear programming
models in bakeries and how such models can be implemented either in practice or in real-world
experience.

ABSTRACT

Credit scoring is a technique practiced by financial institutions and risk agencies to evaluate
the creditworthiness of a firm using ranking scores. However, an enormous financial data needs
to be gathered to provide the score, which may lead to the emergence of unnecessary data.
Hence, there have been several efforts to develop and modify credit scoring in past studies.
This study constructed a new credit scoring technique by combining the KMV-Merton model
with the financial ratios to make this credit scoring process seamless. The KMV-Merton model
is one of the default forecasters that has been demonstrated to be useful in assessing the
likelihood of default of firms. The KMV-Merton model is combined with the eight financial
ratios (current ratio, gross profit margin (GPM), net profit margin (NPM), return on assets
(ROA), return on capital employed (ROCE), debt to assets, debt to equity, and interest
coverage) in a 20:80 ratio. The credit score is divided into three ranks: 1 (minimum score), 2
(average score), and 3 (maximum score). A higher score indicates that a company is more
creditworthy. The credit score ranking of five firms was determined and the scores with the
credit rating ranking were validated in the attempts to use this credit scoring. It is
recommended that more data from firms and scores be used to evaluate the credit score
technique's effect on determining firm creditworthiness. Overall, this credit scoring could be
one of the decision-makers that aids the risk analyst in the risk estimation of firms.

ABSTRACT

Nowadays, municipal solid waste management is getting more difficult as the population of
the countries is rapidly increasing. The volume of solid wastes generated is directly
proportional to human activities. When the number of solid waste increases, many ways need
to be passed through by the garbage collectors to cover each area. Hence, it will cost more for
the garbage trucks to reach the places if they have inefficient route planning systems in the
waste collection process. Having an ineffective route model for the collection of waste not only
affects the residents but also the economic status of the local government. Therefore, the
objective of this study is to analyse the route of the waste collector using an adjacency matrix
and locate the shortest route with minimum cost by using Dijkstra’s algorithm and the Chinese
Postman Problem. The next objective is to resolve the most efficient method between Dijkstra’s
algorithm and the Chinese Postman Problem for solving shortest path problems by using Root
Mean Square Error (RMSE). From the calculated RMSE, the linear function gives a smaller
error for Dijkstra’s Algorithm which is 0.002441 than the Chinese Postman Problem which is
0.002607. Therefore, Dijkstra’s Algorithm is a more efficient method to find the shortest path
and minimum cost. The Municipal Solid Waste can implement this method as the guideline to
complete the task and to optimize the total cost of fuel.

ABSTRACT

Malaysia is known as a multicultural country because of the diversity of races, nations, and
religions. Our country used to be very famous among other countries for traditional food due
to its diversity. Malaysia has a lot of traditional food such as nasi lemak, roti canai, “kuih
tradisional” or traditional snacks, and many more that show the identity and profile of our
country. However, the emergence of modern food in the market has taken the popularity off of
traditional food. This situation might happen because they have already felt bored by eating
the same food and they want to try something else and new which that exactly will attract more
consumer attention. Along with that, our teams have discussed and decided to save our
traditional food so it will not be forgotten by people. We have got an idea to make an innovation
on our traditional snack which is called “kuih ketayap”. “Kuih ketayap” actually is a green-
colored folded pancake that is made of rice flour, rolled and filled with grated coconut and
palm sugar. Our idea is we want to change this traditional snack into a new jelly pudding
flavour. We have chosen pudding because many people from all generations and ages can
consume it and it is also easy to make and handle.

ABSTRACT

The assessment and selection of a supplier is an important decision-making process as the best
supplier should be able to consistently provide goods or services that meet the requirements of
the organization, reducing the supply chain cost and increasing the quality of the supplied
goods or services. Choosing suppliers solely based on their previous experiences may
contribute to the higher purchasing risk and indirectly affecting the organization’s profitability.
The decision-making process usually considers multiple criteria that are often in conflict. This
project used the AHP-PROMETHEE II method which is the hybridization of Analytical
Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment
Evaluations (PROMETHEE) II to ease the decision-making process. AHP-PROMETHEE II
method is proposed as a decision tool for supplier selection. AHP is applied to determine the
criteria weights. Meanwhile, the PROMETHEE II method is used to determine the complete
ranking of the suppliers and hence to choose the most potential one. The objectives of this
project are to apply the AHP-PROMETHEE II method to help the decision-making process
and to select the best supplier using the AHP-PROMETHEE II method. A real-life data about
the selection of the supplier for the railways' project is used to demonstrate the application of
the AHP-PROMETHEE II method. This method is useful because it can help the decision-
making process, it is cost-effective, simple in computation and offer minimal risk in the
decision-making process. In conclusion, this project has successfully applied the AHP-
PROMETHEE II method as a decision tool for supplier selection and can be extended to other
selection problems.

ABSTRACT

The clip is about Ice Kurmadu, a new food product that we have manufactured. This product's
uniqueness originates from its packaging and ingredients. Ice Kurmadu is a homemade ice
cream flavoured with dates and honey. The combination of those ingredients is well-known
especially among Muslims since it is one of the sunnah foods consumed by Rasulullah SAW.
The goal of making this ice cream is to give a nutritious ice cream made entirely of organic
ingredients. Squeeze pouch packing is chosen as the packaging because of its uniqueness and
convenience for travel which makes it simple to manage both the ice cream and the packing.
The Ice Kurmadu is made by preparing date syrup and mixing it with the ice cream base. A
blast freezer and a pouch packaging machine were utilised in the production of this food
product. For the suggested analysis, we used Radical Scavenging Activity for chemical
analysis, Scrap Surface Heat Exchanger and Texture Profile Analysis for physical analysis, and
the Acceptance Test with Hedonic Scale for sensory evaluation. The package's design is
centred on a soft yellowish colour and a strong picture on the label to capture buyers' attention.
The discussion of the pricing and the potential profit when it hits the market was shown in the
video.

ABSTRACT

Every year, novel dietary approaches to modulate gut microbiota, reduce blood pressure,
control glycemia, prevent reactive oxygen species, and excess energy expenditure are
presented. Vegan diets are growing its popularity globally and the food industry is responding
to this by producing more processed vegan food and drink products. However, the limited
vegan butter available in Malaysian markets is mostly in a plain flavour. Therefore, a
flavoursome Dorhns Butter is innovated to meet the market’s demand of vegan, lactose
intolerance, and healthy eater practitioners. Dorhns Butter is made of almond milk, basil leaves,
lime, canola oil, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and salt. The presence of basil leaves
and lime inthe butter imparts a new botanical flavour with a fresh and tangy note for a quick
and good start to the day. In addition, the incorporation of basil leaves, lime, and turmeric to
the Dorhn's Butter provides antioxidant properties that can diminish the influence of reactive
oxygen, therefore preventing lipid peroxidation in the butter and providing health benefits to
the consumer. On the other hand, almond milk and coconut oil are naturally dairy-free and low
in calories which is perfect for vegans and those with lactose intolerance. As cold cream is
required in traditional butter production, dairy-free coconut oil is introduced as a substitute in
this innovation. Moreover, nutritional yeast used in the Dorhns Butter helps to boost the
immune system. In brief, approximately 80% of our raw materials are sourced locally to
support our local suppliers.

ABSTRACT

Croquettes are one of the well-known foods among new generations, originally made of wheat
flour, green onion, Holland onion, full cream milk, crab stick, butter, black pepper, salt, and
breadcrumbs. However, since a gluten-free diet has numerous health benefits, particularly for
celiac disease patients, the innovation of the gluten-free croquettes is targeting people with a
gluten allergy, hectic lifestyles, and considering parents with awareness towards their children's
food intake. The innovative crab and chicken croquettes have been diversified by using gluten-
free multipurpose flour which consists of garbanzo bean flour, potato starch, whole grain white
sorghum flour, tapioca flour, and fava bean flour as the main ingredients, followed by butter,
milk, Holland onion, black pepper, salt, and green onion for the healthier version.
Subsequently, crab sticks and chicken dice were added to the mixture of crab croquettes and
chicken croquettes, respectively. Further processing involved chilling, shaping, coating with
corn starch, eggs and oats, and croquettes deep frying. In bulk production, technologies such
as food forming machines, rotary seasoning drum, automatic meat mixer, texture analyser, and
vacuum packing machine may be used. The analyses of the finished products will involve
sensory, microbial, chemical, and physical analysis. A vacuum packaging with multilayer film
may preserve our final products while extending their shelf-life for an average of two to three
years. A worth buying pack of 400g croquettes was successfully produced with a selling price
of RM14.99 to RM16.99 per unit and a maximum gained profit of 92.63% per unit.

ABSTRACT

Durian is one of the beloved delicacy fruits in the world, especially in Southeast Asia. It is
known as the “King of the Fruits” due to its powerful aroma and intense flavour. Durian is also
naturally rich in iron, vitamin C, and potassium. The unique taste and healthy claims of durian
have caused its global demand to increase. Durian can be consumed fresh as fruit but also can
be consumed like food products such as candy, ice cream, puffs, and dessert. Therefore, this
video is to review and demonstrate the potential of durian as a new ingredient in making cendol,
which is to add durian flavour into the traditionally green worm-shaped starch jellies. Dolrian
is the innovation of dessert containing yellow worm-shaped jellies with durian flavour. Since
there is only pandan flavour cendol available in the market, Dolrian adds a new flavour and a
unique taste to the food product, which can help in earning extra income, especially during this
coronavirus pandemic. However, the local sales of Durian have slowed down due to the
lockdown during the pandemic and this has led to overproduction waste. Therefore, Dolrian
helps in reducing waste and converts the waste into value-added food products. Since dine-ins
are not allowed during this period, therefore, Dolrian is packed with appropriate packaging
material and able to be delivered all over Malaysia. This project also reviewed the technology
used and the estimated cost and profit.

ABSTRACT

This study is focusing on the innovation of a new generation of tempeh known as Nutdelis
Tempeh. The name of Nutdelis is a combination of two words; nutritious and delicious. It is
made from highly nutritious and premium ingredients. The special ingredients include
pistachio, rosemary herb, and black pepper. Instead of using normal soybeans to make tempeh,
pistachio was chosen because of its palatable flavour and the health benefits it provides.
Pistachio is full of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. It is also a cholesterol-free and good
source of fibre. Pistachio has been ranked among the first 50 food products due to its
antioxidant content. Based on previous research, pistachio helped to improve ophthalmological
health, reduced cholesterol as well as improved heart health. The rosemary herb was added to
give some uniqueness to the product. It is an aromatic and distinctive herb with a sweet and
resinous flavour. In foods, rosemary herb is used as a spice. Rosemary consists of 68% water,
21% carbohydrates, 3% protein, and 6% fat. Therefore, is high in various nutrients, including
dietary fibre, calcium, and potassium. It also possesses a high amount of iron and manganese.
In addition, rosemary is a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which
help to boost the immune system and improve blood circulation. Meanwhile, black pepper acts
as spice and seasoning in the Nutdelis Tempeh. Black pepper has supportive compound such
as piperine that increases the absorption of nutrients such as beta-carotene and selenium. With
all these beneficial effects, nutritious tempeh with a distinct flavour has been innovated.

ABSTRACT

The nonlinear transcendental or algebraic equation problem is one of the important research
areas in numerical analysis, and the iterative methods are playing an important role in finding
approximate solutions. The Secant method is one of the best iterative methods since it only
requires a single evaluation of function. However, the Secant method has low convergence
order, thus many improvised Secant methods have been developed by the researchers.
Therefore, in this study, two new algorithms based on the Secant method which are the
exponential method, and the three-point Secant method were formulated to compare with the
Secant method to evaluate the roots for nonlinear equations. The three methods were tested
using different initial values in various transcendental functions such as polynomial,
exponential, logarithm, trigonometric and some combinations of linear, exponential,
polynomial, and trigonometric functions to determine the best method. Furthermore, a case
study of the photovoltaic (PV) cell model was used to verify the results in test equations. All
the computation results were implemented in Excel and the developed Graphical User Interface
(GUI) in MATLAB to get accurate results and as the visual indicator representations. The
obtained results show that the three-point Secant method has the least number of iterations and
smallest relative error than the Secant method and exponential method in six numerical results
but has similar iterations with the Secant method in the application of PV cell. Conclusively,
the three-point Secant method is the best iterative method since the method converged to the
roots faster than the other two methods.

ABSTRACT

Sign language is a non-spoken language that employs signs made with the hands' movement
and hand gestures to communicate with people. Malaysian Sign Language (MSL) is the main
language that is being used by deaf and mute people in Malaysia. Basically, not knowing sign
language and only depending on the impromptu sign of body language can lead to
misinterpretation of the meaning of the word given by disabled people. In addition, this creates
a communication barrier between disabled people and normal people. Currently, there are
many mobile apps for learning sign language, but they only focus on the alphabets and numbers
which are not essential for people to use in daily conversation. Thus, this mobile app is
developed for everyone who is interested in learning the basic dialogue of MSL for daily
conversation. The aim is to provide a learning app with augmented reality (AR) for normal
people to visualize and master the basic daily conversations of Malaysian Sign Language. The
augmented reality elements are used to attract people's attention to learn sign language. This
app is also beneficial to teachers or instructors as an assistive tool for teaching and learning
purposes. The most important thing is it helps to build communication in addition to bridging
missing gaps between normal people and disabled people.

ABSTRACT

Mandarin language is one of the popular third languages in Malaysia due to its wide usage and
its high demand in job skills requirements. Nowadays, the role of the educational process in
schools or universities undoubtedly becomes more challenging, and the traditional teaching
environment does not fully engage and motivate the learners. Consequently, the students
cannot grasp the basic Mandarin language lessons effectively due to the lack of writing
techniques where they find it difficult to remember the Chinese characters (Hanzi). Thus, this
mobile app is designed to assist students as there is a time limitation on Mandarin language
class hours that lead to a loss of interest in learning the language. Since gamification and
augmented reality approaches show great potential in engaging the learning process, these
features are applied in this app to focus on writing development skills. Augmented reality
video is developed as learning features for the students to show the correct writing techniques
of Chinese characters. The use of AR in this app is helpful for students to provide an interactive
engagement, motivation, and passion to students in mastering their writing skills. Meanwhile,
gamification elements are implemented in the Mandarin Quiz section to increase the
excitement and eagerness of the learners to learn more. From the findings of user acceptance
testing, it has been discovered that this mobile app can be used as one of the teaching and
learning tools as most of the learners would like to use the application due to its interesting
features of augmented reality video and gamification elements.

ABSTRACT

One of the main concerns with our environment is solid waste management, which has an
impact on our society’s health and ecology. Waste management is a major issue that the world
faces, regardless of whether a country is developed or developing. The main issue with waste
management is the public’s garbage bins overflowed before the next cleaning operation begins.
It then causes different threats to that location, such as foul odour and ugliness, which may be
the root cause of the spread of many diseases. Ever since the Covid-19 outbreak began,
individuals have been advised to avoid personal contact with anything that can spread the virus,
such as a garbage bin. In order to avoid any potential harm scenarios and to ensure public
cleanliness and health, a smart waste management system is designed with a touchless sensor
to prevent people from touching the dustbin. This system has an ultrasonic sensor that will
detect when someone approaches the garbage bin. The garbage bin’s lid will open
automatically when they sense movement and it will also inform the capacity of garbage when
it is full. This project is an Internet of Things (IoT) based project which gives notification to
workers to clear the trash when the weight of the waste in the bin reaches the limit by using the
GSM module. The proposed smart waste management system is far more efficient than any
other conventional waste management system since it uses fewer people, prevents waste
spillover, saves time and more cost-effective.

ABSTRACT

Fermentation of fish is a traditional method used to preserve food before modern techniques
such as freezing, and canning was introduced. Nowadays, new technology has been approached
using a bio-preservation method in which lactic acid was used to produce an antimicrobial
agent. Preservation is widely used to inhibit bacteria growth for improving food safety, shelf
life, and nutritional attributes. Fermented fish such as Balacan, Budu, Nam pla, Kapi, Terasi,
Petis, Bagoong, and Bagoong alamang was very famous in Southeast Asia and staple food of
Asian people. Although the products are famous, extensive studies are needed since the
information on fermented fish is insufficient. This study will investigate the composition of
these fermented fish, which is determined from several analysis methods to yield the amount
of proximate composition, amino acid content, fatty acid composition, and mineral
composition to emphasise the nutritional quality of fermented fish according to the quality
parameter, which will include the health benefits and safety information of consuming
fermented fish.

ABSTRACT

Sacha inchi (Plukenetia Volubilis L.) is an oleaginous plant known as Inca nut, mani inca,
mani silvestre, or montana mani. Sacha inchi seed contains oil (35-60%), protein (25-30%),
vitamin E, carotenoids, polyphenols, and minerals while sacha inchi seed oil (SISO) contains
essential fatty acids (ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids) such as linoleic (34-37%) and linolenic (42-
51%) acids which comprised more than 90% of the total where it makes sacha inchi plant
valuable. These essential fatty acids are important for the prevention of cardiovascular disease
and hypertension as well as to protect against rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and possibly the
severity of viral infections. Sacha inchi seed could be a useful new source of edible oils that
could also be allowed in the possibility of economic exploitation together with other seed oils.
Sacha inchi plant could be an opportunity in replacing the economic dependence on other plant
cultivations around the world. This paper describes the extraction of sacha inchi oil and the
analysis of its composition in terms of its nutrition content, physicochemical content, fatty acid
contents, phytosterols, and tocopherol contents. A detailed research should be done in order
to identify the application of sacha inchi oil in various industries as it is lack findings
especially in Malaysia. Research should continue to determine if the fatty acid can be
fractionated and mixed with other oil for instance, palm oil to produce a high omega-3 and
omega-3 oil.

ABSTRACT

An adequate amount of data regarding water pollution is needed to keep an eye on the water
quality along the water of Sungai Merbok, Kedah since ecotourism and aquaculture activities
are rapidly evolving. Sungai Merbok is known for the presence of one of the dominant
mangrove plantations in Kedah. Nevertheless, information on the assessment of the water
quality over the coastal water Sungai Merbok, Kedah is found to be inadequate. Therefore, the
monitoring instrument is made by using GIS for surveillance purposes of the area mentioned.
Water quality data included are chlorophyll-a and ammonia. The spline interpolation technique
using regularized spline method has been developed successfully. The developed instrument
displays the pattern and distribution of parameters. The map can be applied by communities
such as local residences of Sungai Merbok, concerned government bodies such as Sungai
Petani Municipal Council, Department of Environment (DOE Malaysia), and Department of
Fisheries (DOF Malaysia) to keep a check on this area effectively. This invention is found to
be useful as it supports Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14: Life below water) which
is to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable
development.

ABSTRACT

Weaving is one of the fabric formation techniques that converts yarns or threads to fabrics. In
the fabric manufacturing industry, this technique requires the use of heavy-duty weaving
machines or better known as looms to construct fabrics with various weave structures.
However, for learning purposes, the industrial looms seem not suitable for students to do hands-
on due to its complexity that requires highly skilled practice. Therefore, a mini handloom is
created from low-cost materials to provide practical experience for the students to handle a
weaving process. Unlike the full-scale loom, this handloom is operated manually by a human
operator, without any automation imposed on the motions to let the students grasp the principle
in the weaving operations. Extensive mechanical actions are applied to the yarns with proper
timing of primary and secondary motions on the looms. Those motions include shedding,
picking, beating, take-up, and let-off. Although weaving can be generally considered as an old
art, technical know-how is compulsory especially when it involves manufacturing via
machines. Through this invention, the concept of weaving can be successfully portrayed and
thus would help the students to engage in learning on this subject matter.

ABSTRACT

The Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) such as Mathematica, Maple, MuPAD, MathCAD have
potential to facilitate an active approach to learning, to allow students to become involved in
discovery and to consolidate their own knowledge, thus developing conceptual and geometrical
understanding and a deeper approach to learning. Emergence of such mathematical tools and
its ability to deal with most of the undergraduate mathematics cannot be ignored by
mathematics educators. We believe that mathematics teaching can be made much more
interesting, inventive and exploratory using the I-Mathz The I-Mathz is mathematical software
that uses GeoGebra freeware with an interface that makes it extremely easy to explore,
visualize, and solve mathematical problems. It brings technology into mathematics education
and brings the benefits of mathematical software development to the classroom and into the
hands of teachers and students. With I-Mathz, students are not forced to choose between
mathematical power and usability, making it the ideal tool for education. The respondents were
chosen based on the document analysis and the diagnostic test. The respondents were 4 boys
and one girl. The pre-test, post-test, observation and 3 topical exercises were the instruments
used to collect data. The data collected was presented in the form of table, graph and
percentage. The results showed that the application of i-Mathz was a success in assisting the
respondents to learn mathematical concepts. The recommendation for further research is to
integrate the Android software with the I-Mathz.

ABSTRACT

The e-INVEST application is a database program that is designed for investors. Normally,
investors will do some evaluation and analysis on the company before making their investment
decision. The strategies which are widely used are the fundamental analysis and technical
analysis. It is very tedious for an investor or a company to manually evaluate and analyse the
financial performance of potential companies that they intend to invest due to many criteria or
financial ratios that need to be taken into consideration. However, the evaluation process can
be simplified by using an automated system that is able to rank companies based on their
financial performances. The e-INVEST application with TOPSIS approach is proposed in
which the ranking of companies based on their financial performances is automatically
generated in real time. It will help the investors in making their decision in a short time period
and able to exploit greater opportunities of profit.

ABSTRAK

Imuniti kelompok ialah keadaan penularan jangkitan penyakit tidak dapat berlaku kerana
sebahagian besar masyarakat itu mempunyai imuniti atau daya tahan terhadap penyebab
jangkitan penyakit itu. Kenaikan kes COVID-19 harian kini masih tinggi dan kadar pendaftaran
untuk Program Imunisasi COVID-19 Kebangsaan (PICK) masih perlu dipertingkatkan lagi.
Kajian terkini mendapati penceritaan visual menggunakan infografik mampu meningkatkan
pemahaman seseorang terhadap sesuatu perkara. Strategi penggunaan 5W1H (What, When,
Where, Who, Why dan How) juga didapati sangat membantu pemahaman sesuatu maklumat
dengan lebih berkesan. Oleh itu, Video Infografik Kempen Imuniti Kelompok Malaysia
menggunakan strategi 5W1H ini telah diwujudkan untuk membantu pemahaman terhadap cara
dan kepentingan untuk mencapai imuniti kelompok, sekaligus menggalakkan peningkatan
pendaftaran vaksin di Malaysia. Ini juga sejajar dengan sasaran Malaysia untuk mencapai status
imuniti kelompok pada bulan Disember tahun 2021.

Portfolio pengajaran dan fail kursus merupakan alat pengurusan yang digunakan untuk
memantau dan meningkatkan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam kalangan pensyarah
yang lebih dikenali sebagai Teaching Portfolio dan Course File. Namun, dokumentasi yang
sedia ada mempunyai masalah dari aspek tekanan masa, data tidak terintegrasi dan tidak mudah
diakses serta berasaskan kertas. Malah masalah pembaziran kertas turut berlaku apabila bahan
pengajaran yang tidak lagi releven akan dibuang. Meskipun, UiTM menggalakkan warganya
ke arah penjimatan. Selain itu, pembelajaran telah dilaksanakan secara online Distance
Learning (ODL) sepanjang musim COVID-19. Begitu juga kursus, bengkel dan seminar turut
dilaksanakan secara atas talian. Oleh yang demikian, dokumentasi berasaskan kertas perlu
digantikan dengan sistem elektronik. Berdasarkan kepada soal selidik, maka e-teaching
portfolio dan e-course file diperkenalkan di tempat yang mudah dicapai. Hasilnya, ia memberi
impak kepada para pensyarah ACIS dalam empat aspek kecekapan. Pertama, dari segi
penjimatan masa. Kebanyakan sumber dan bahan pengajaran dan pembelajaran atas talian telah
dimuat naik, maka gerak kerja menjadi lebih cekap dan pantas. Kedua, ianya menjimatkan kos.
Tiada kos fotokopi yang perlu dikeluarkan. Ketiga, ianya juga meningkatkan produktiviti.
Bahan pengajaran dan pembelajaran boleh dikongsi sesama pensyarah. Keempat, ianya mudah
digunakan (user friendly). Pengguna berinteraksi dengan sistem tanpa memerlukan kemahiran
yang tinggi dalam bidang komputer. Malah dengan cara ini juga ia memudahkan proses
pengauditan di UiTM kerana dengan hanya klik QR Code sahaja dengan mudah dapat dilihat
semua hasil kerja.

ABSTRACT

The shift from the physical classroom to the fully digitalised Open Distance Learning (ODL)
was not easy for students. During physical classes, students usually did their presentations
using PowerPoint slides. However, with ODL, they had to learn to prepare attractive and
interactive presentations virtually. They needed skills such as video editing, preparing
interactive slides with voice, audio, or video embedded. Evidence pointed out that students
were falling behind in their academic performance because they lacked computer literacy skills
(Jandric, 2020; Fernando et al., 2020, Chung et al., 2021). A needs analysis was conducted to
identify if students needed guidance to prepare presentations. A total of 469 students
responded, the results indicated that students needed help and guidance to complete their online
presentations. Therefore, to help students who lacked computer literacy skills prepare online
presentations, a group of APB lecturers from Seremban collaborated with lecturers from the
FSKM from Kuala Pilah and Rembau to initiate a website called "ACE: Apps to Ace
Assignments." This site aims to be a one-stop-center that puts together free and easy-to-use
tools that can help to enhance presentations such as Canva, PowerPoint, Flipbook, and video
editing tools. ACE provides a step-by-step guide to help students prepare interactive
presentations with their voice, video, and audio embedded in them. ACE is the way to help
students continue their ODL classes and complete presentation assignments without having
poor computer literacy and clunky technology getting in their way to excel academically in
ODL

Anak-anak dan ibu bapa seharusnya mempunyai ikatan hubungan yang akrab antara satu sama
lain. Pelbagai aktiviti dapat dilaksanakan bersama agar hubungan yang sedia terjalin, semakin
erat dan meninggalkan kesan positif bagi kedua-dua pihak. Dewasa ini, ibu bapa memilih untuk
menjadi kawan rapat dengan anak-anak agar dapat mendalami apa yang anak-anak rasai. Salah
satu aktiviti yang sering dilakukan adalah bercerita. Anak-anak sering berkongsi cerita mereka
dengan ibu bapa dalam olahan ayat dan naratif tersendiri. Sebagai ibu bapa, momen itu adalah
momen berharga kerana dapat mendalami perasaan anak itu. Wakil PTS Media Group Sdn Bhd
ada berkongsi bahawa penjualan buku fizikal secara atas talian meningkat sehingga satu juta
dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini. Kebarangkalian untuk menerbitkan cerita anak-anak
ini ke dalam bentuk buku adalah satu idea yang kreatif. Bagi memastikan cerita lisan anak-
anak itu kekal selamanya, ibu bapa boleh menerbitkan cerita anak-anak dengan mengadakan
satu aktiviti menulis cerita bersama anak-anak. Kajian ini memperkenalkan template ABC:
Always Be Creative yang mampu membantu ibu bapa menghasilkan buku cerita khas untuk
menyimpan semua cerita anak-anak. A: Always dalam template ini dikategorikan sebagai
angan-angan, B: Be membawa pengembaraan dalam melakar di papan (Board) cerita dan C:
Creative adalah mencipta (create) dan menulis cerita tersebut. Template ini sesuai untuk
mereka yang tidak ada asas dalam menghasilkan buku cerita kerana mudah dan ringkas.
Dengan adanya template ini, diharapkan semua cerita lisan daripada anak-anak dapat
diadaptasikan kepada buku cerita (bercetak atau eBook) sekaligus momen antara anak dan ibu
bapa akan kekal selamanya dalam bentuk yang lebih menarik sepanjang masa.

ABSTRACT

According to the current Standard of Procedure (SOP) for the Movement Control Order (MCO)
3.0, all retail establishments, including shopping complexes, are required to limit the number
of customers at any given time based on the size of the business premises, with one person
designated for every four square metres. Additionally, consumers must not spend more than
two hours at the point of purchase of essential goods. The issue is that the number of customers
at any given time is still calculated manually. Typically, the customer is asked to scan at
MySejahtera and take a temperature reading, after which the controller at MySejahtera will
randomly distribute a number card to limit their time in the premises. This proposed Shopper
Count-Reminder Apps will assist shopkeepers in determining the customer count for a given
time and as a reminder to the customers to settle their shopping as soon as possible. This
application also will avoid any contacts to replace the number cards to ensure strict adherence
to the above SOPs and operations are minimal and controlled so that customers are not
crammed into their respective premises.

ABSTRACT

The Design and Technology subject which is introduced since 2017 in Malaysian secondary
school is designed based on the new curriculum syllabus with the aim to produce students with
higher order thinking skills. Previous studies reported the lack of use of teaching aids for this
subject due to many factors and this may result in students’ poor academic performance for the
subject. The objective of this study is to develop “Stylish Home” as a teaching aid for the topic
of Inventive Problem Solving for Design and Technology subject (Form 2). The teaching aid
is aimed to facilitate the learning and teaching process, as well as to enhance students’
understanding for the topic of Inventive Problem Solving. The research design included five
main phases adapted from ADDIE model, which are phases of analysis, design, development,
implementation and evaluation. The process included identification on the needs to develop
“Stylish Home” together with the validation of appropriate designs and methods such as
elements, principles, product quality and product function. “Stylish Home” also comes with a
user manual. Findings reveal that “Stylish Home” is very helpful to teachers apart from
increasing students’ interest in learning the topic of Inventive Problem Solving. Future work
will be focusing on improving the building material of “Stylish Home” so that the product is
more robust. The product will be further improved to be more interactive for students.

ABSTRACT

Students’ problems in 3-dimension (3D) and 2-dimension (2D) Geometry are related to poor
visualization and low spatial abilities. Plans and Elevations is a 3D topic in Mathematics Form
3. Students fail to draw the orthogonal line correctly and typically skip drawing dashed lines
for the hidden lines in the object. Previous studies showed that teachers used physical models
and digital Geometry software (DGS) to teach 3D. However, asynchronous mode of teaching
requires a suitable learning strategy that integrates non-digital and digital technologies.
Augmented Reality (AR) provides a learning environment that combines real and virtual
environment. AR is a mobile-based learning that superimposes sounds, videos, and graphics
onto an existing environment. AR Visual Learning Geometry Kits (AR-VLGeo-Kits), is a
teaching approach that consists of a module, 3D blocks, screencast videos and SketchUp Make.
Students will access video via AR’s application that shows how to arrange the blocks based on
exercise provided in the module. The blocks are made of acrylic perspex to allow students to
visualize the hidden lines. Then, they are required to watch the screencast video before getting
involved in hands on learning. The video includes steps in using tools in the software. SketchUp
Make is a free DGS that emphasizes on four visual tools: to rotate, to view, to transform from
3D to 2D and to cut the surface of the object. These tools will improve students' visualization
and their spatial abilities. Thus, the AR-based technology is a learning strategy that has a
potential to enhance Geometry learning.

ABSTRACT

Increasingly, most communication in current times are online and this characteristic has been
heightened due to restrictions caused by the Pandemic. During online communication, the art
and etiquette of communication is often omitted. The researchers observed that online
interactions tend to be careless and too quick with expressions of anger or just, communication
that is quick, resulting in inadvertent rude abrupt and ambiguous communication. Hence, to
address this problem, they designed a tool, “Wait”. The objectives of this tool are to enable
students and members of the public, to “wait”, think and refer to alternative ways on how to
begin, end and use specific keywords in response to various general situations with politeness
embedded. This tool is an easy- to- use app on the handphone. The researchers conducted a
preliminary study with school and college students whereby they were given online
questionnaires before and after using the Apps. The results showed positive feedback, in the
form of polite and effective communication after the use of the apps.

ABSTRACT

Self-assessment system adopted in Malaysia has shifted the responsibility to compute tax
payable from tax authorities to taxpayers. To fulfill this obligation, the taxpayers are expected
to be familiar with tax regulations. Having good tax knowledge and regulations would assist
the taxpayers to keep the necessary records and assess their income tax payable accurately,
thus promoting them to be tax compliant. However, based on a report produced by the Inland
Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM), it was found that penalties collected from the tax audit
and tax investigation are high as the level of tax compliance is still low. Thus, this study aims
to develop a mobile application named “Tax Relief Tracker” that helps taxpayers keep track of
tax relief on monthly basis, which will have the following features: availability of attaching
receipt button, notification of unutilised relief which is available for the current month and
computation of an estimated tax position of the taxpayers. This application will also have
features where the data is synced to Google Drive as well as a reminder function. The
application will be targeted to the individual tax resident in Malaysia. This idea is expected to
have a great positive impact on minimising the issue of lost receipts, fully utilising tax relief
monthly, and improving tax knowledge. This would be beneficial to the government as it would
increase potential tax revenue in which the benefits will be given back to the public.

ABSTRACT

In this age of modern technology, almost everyone all over the world resorts to a variety of
websites to learn or extract more information about an organisation remotely. Websites are
known to be effective platforms for disseminating information to the public. Most universities
use this platform to share information with a broad audience, and the information presented on
the official website of an organization should be relevant, recent, and accessible to the public.
These databases are overseen by the academic community for teaching and learning, research
collaboration, and career advancement. AXPERT aims to explain the importance of a database
of lecturers' expertise towards their career advancement. Universities should develop a
database of these lecturers' expertise, which should be linked to the existing university's website
to enable the public to access recent and relevant information. By having dynamic website
content, the records related to lecturers' expertise should be created, read, updated, and deleted
(CRUD) from time to time.

ABSTRACT

Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) have been known as effective tools of poverty eradication.
Initiated by a Nobel Laureate, Professor Muhammad Yunus in 1976, Microfinance is the only
organisation that provides financial services to poor people. Certain issues have been identified
in the microfinance industry. First, lack of social and financial assessment of the microfinance
institutions in Malaysia. This issue is critical since microfinance nowadays is financially
independent and no longer a subsidy recipient. They do not have the financial capacity to hire
a professional to undertake the assessment. However, this assessment is important since it
indicates the ability of microfinance to operate in the long run thus giving a profound impact
on the poor. Therefore, this issue has led to the build of a website that provides an assessment
from the aspect of social and financial efficiency of the MFIs. Besides that, we also provide an
assessment of the ability of the MFIs to reduce the poverty level. We offer the services to allow
the MFIs to undertake these assessments with a low-cost charge. This website will benefit the
organisation of Microfinance to structure their plans and strategy for future development as
well as to ensure the MFIs are sustainable to operate in the long run and improve income among
the poor. This effort is consistent with the main element in Sustainable Development Goals
(SDG) which aims to achieve zero poverty among the community.

Keywords: microfinance, poverty reduction, efficiency, sustainability
