Video Surveillance System Usage in Preventing Crime: Preliminary findings from Malaysia
Get PDFThe preliminary study focuses on two key aspects of crime prevention via Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) and the specific context of VSS deployment in Malaysia. The study employs interviews as a method of data collection and a thematic content analysis approach to data analysis. The research findings highlight the VSS's effectiveness in solving crime cases, satisfaction among participants using VSS, limited expertise and skills in video analysis, and the high costs associated with the installation. Future studies should delve deeper into the regional impacts of video surveillance on crime rates in Malaysia and investigate the integration of emerging technologies' effectiveness
Implementation of Information Security Management Systems for Data Protection in Organizations: A systematic literature review
Get PDFThis systematic literature review investigates the implementation of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) as a pivotal strategy for safeguarding organizational information in the digital era. Focusing on key factors influencing ISMS implementation, its impact on data protection, and the methodologies employed, the review underscores the significance of awareness and training in fostering compliance. Emphasizing the ISO/IEC 27001 standard as a prevalent framework, the study reveals positive impacts on organizational performance, financial outcomes, corporate reputation, and branding. The findings advocate for a comprehensive and structured approach to information security, urging future research to explore diverse organizational contexts and industries for a nuanced understanding of ISMS practices and their impact on organizational agility
Flexural and Flammability Characteristics of Woven Jute Fabric Reinforced Vinyl Ester Treated with Ammonium Polyphosphate
Get PDFThe work aims to determine the optimum fire-retardant treatment for the jute/vinyl ester composites on the composites' flexural and flammability characteristics. Ammonium polyphosphate deposition in composite samples increased the thickness and weight, which led to an increase in their sample densities. The deposition of 10% ammonium polyphosphate (APP) resulted in the highest flexural strength. However, APP significantly increased the flexural modulus of all samples to the untreated sample. In terms of flammability properties, the deposition of APP increased composites' performance against fire. Incorporating 10% of APP provides good flexural and fire-retardancy properties for the woven jute/vinyl ester composite
Multi-Disaster Risk Mitigation through Augmented Reality Conservation Map for Enhancing Cultural Heritage Attitude
Get PDFVirtual conservation emphasizes access to information, user involvement, object preservation, and restoring the original ambiance of conserved or rebuilt things using technology during COVID-19. This study utilizes AR to create the City of Sawahlunto AR Conservation Map and then designs and tests the app's content and functionality using Media Richness Theory. The study involves R&D employing the Multimedia Development Life Circle model and an exploratory sequential mixed-methods. The City of Sawahlunto AR Conservation Map AR has augmentation, interaction, and registration. This study contributes to Media Richness Theory and Virtual Tourism and has practical implications for destination sustainability, carrying capacity, and over-tourism
Reliability Analysis of the Influence of Media and Information Literacy Skills on Individual Work Performance: A pilot study of academic staff of colleges of education in southeast Nigeria
Get PDFThe research aims to examine the influence of media and information literacy (MIL) skills on the individual work performance of academic staff of colleges of education. Researchers discovered that many educational professionals need more MIL skills to support their job performance. This set of skills required for effective research and information use is insufficient and impedes lifelong learning. Based on the review of related literature, a 50-item questionnaire was constructed. The study population is 3,200 from nine public education colleges in southeast Nigeria. A representative sample for the study is 344, derived from the Sample Size Calculator by Raosoft Inc. A proportionate stratified random sampling technique was employed to identify a representative sample for the study. To ensure data validity, reliability, and normality, the research instrument was pre-tested by experts/scholars. A pilot test was conducted, and thirty-nine academic staff participated. A quantitative survey method was used, employing SPSS to analyze collected data. Findings revealed that all items have reliability coefficients above 0.70 except for need skills, locate skills, and analyze skills with 0.566, 0.531, and 0.545 values. The study recommends that management should pay close attention to the MIL skills of their staff to optimize individual work performance
Industrial Materials to Support Kinetic Sculpture as Interior Elements
Get PDFArt plays a vital role in human life, not only as a source of beauty but also as a form of profound expression. Sculpture creates three-dimensional objects from various materials such as wood, stone, and metal. The aim is to discuss the process of designing kinetic sculptures from car engine waste, as well as assembly and splicing techniques using welding and screws. Optimizing function and aesthetics can contribute to environmental sustainability using industrial waste materials. This research is expected to guide the design of three-dimensional sculpture art in the context of industry and education to contribute to contemporary art's development
Analysis of The Chemical Composition, Properties, Aesthetics, and Craft of Zisha Clay: A Potential Environmentally Friendly Material for Jewelry Design
Get PDFZisha clay has always been regarded as the preferred material for making teapots, but its potential as a human body decoration has rarely been explored in depth. This article aims to study and analyze the material composition, property, aesthetic, and craft innovation of Zisha clay in jewelry design. Exploring Zisha clay as a new jewelry material broadens its application and provides a new perspective for its sustainable development in the jewelry industry. Zisha clay is more accessible and environmentally friendly than traditional jewelry materials, so this study is of reference value for promoting the creative industry
Bamboo Installations Design as an Appreciation of Local and Environmentally Friendly Materials
Get PDFBamboo is a local and environmentally friendly material easily found in Indonesia. Its use has varied, from handicrafts to building materials. Building designs incorporating bamboo have diversified, evolving to a more organic and contemporary style, utilizing bamboo's flexible nature. Studio learning focuses on design elements like lines and shapes, leveraging materials to achieve specific design characteristics, and utilizing bamboo, which results in designs inspired by nature that are relevant to its character, creating innovative and aesthetic designs.
