Preliminary study on Copper, Zinc and Iron concentration in soils from waste dumping site in Tanah Merah, Kelantan, Malaysia
No full textSoil is a complex matrix and a major reservoir of contamination. It can bind many potential toxic elements such as heavy metals, and they can exist in various forms. The main objective was to characterize the soil sample in relation to heavy metal concentrations in the Tanah Merah waste dumping site. Soil samples were taken from three different locations around the waste dumping site and determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) for Cu, Fe and Zn determination. High concentrations of Fe (9.18 mg/L) as compared to Cu (0.53 mg/L), and Zn (0.49 mg/L) were found in the soil samples but were lower than previous studies. However, early precautionary actions need to be implemented since a higher volume of waste disposal in the future might cause changes in heavy metals intensity at the waste dumping site
Proximate, mineral and melissopalynological analyses of honeys produced by Apis mellifera adansonii maintained at the University of Lagos Apiary
No full textThis study focused on the management of established Apis mellifera adansonii colonies, and evaluation of the proximate, mineral, and pollen contents of honeys produced by these bees at the University of Lagos apiary. Two newly established bee colonies were managed using modern hive management techniques. Honeys produced by these colonies were subjected to further laboratory analyses. Proximate composition of honey samples was determined based on the official analysis methods from Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Mineral composition was determined quantitatively using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Melissopalynological analysis was conducted to ascertain the amount, type and origin of pollen present in the samples. On the basis of the proximate composition, colony 1 honey had higher carbohydrate (81.29%), crude fibre (1.43%) and ash contents (0.70%) while colony 2 honey recorded higher protein (2.72%), crude fat (0.17%), moisture content (17.32%) and pH (4.6). Result of the mineral analysis showed that potassium was the most abundant element, while manganese was the least present trace element in both honeys. Investigated honey samples contained 8609 pollen and spore types belonging to 27 families and 29 species. Colony 1 honey had the highest pollen diversity, while colony 2 honey recorded the highest abundance. Hippocratea sp. was the predominant pollen type in colony 1 honey sample while Phyllantus sp. was the secondary dominant species in colony 2 honey. Celastraceae and Rubiaceae were the most dominant families recorded in the investigated honey samples. Investigated honey samples were multifloral, rich in minerals, and met the standard requirements of good honey as recommended by International Honey Commission. The study provided the basis for identification of major plants visited by Apis mellifera honeybees within the apiary. There is a need to conserve the existing flora within the study location, especially those found to be rewarding to Apis mellifera adansonii

Public Perceptions of the Economic Impacts of Government Funded Events
No full textNational yearly events that are publicly funded often turn into large events that are appealing to the public and therefore need to benefit the community and society at large. While the government’s role in organising or hosting public celebrations is to foster and enhance the spirit of patriotism, love for the country, strengthen unity and national integration among the people, others may argue that these celebrations are a waste of public funds which could be better spent on the economic development, repair and provision of infrastructure and improving social conditions in the state. This paper aims to examine public perceptions at the locality of the event and surroundings on the economic impact of these events. The study covered two major state events celebrated in Sarawak, the Governor’s birthday and Malaysia Day, organised and funded by the State Protocol and Public Relations Unit of the Sarawak Chief Minister’s Office. A self-administered questionnaire was developed to survey the attendees of two celebratory events via convenience
sampling. The findings from the survey found that the public perceived these events could positively support the locality in gaining temporary employment, support local trade, revive the local economy, increase hotel occupancy, and provide opportunities for future employment. However, the study further found that such events failed to create permanent employment and extend shopping hours in the event locality. Overall, it was shown that while national celebrations are perceived as events that benefit the public economically, there are concerns regarding the funding of infrastructure, which could alter the public’s perception in gaining a higher overall positive perception score

KESINAMBUNGAN KOMUNITI: ADAKAH GLOBALISASI MEMPENGARUHI KEKENTALAN BUDAYA DI KAMPUNG LAUT?
No full textKomuniti desa mempunyai karekteristik yang unik. Ianya amat berlainan jika dibandingkan dengan kehidupan di bandar. Kesan dari Revolusi Perindustrian, kehidupan desa juga mengalami perubahannya. Arus globalisasi yang melanda seluruh masyarakat dunia menjadikan elemen budaya dan komuniti tradisi semakin rapuh. Dalam masa sama, kesedaran mengenai alam bina komuniti tradisi terhadap aspek seni bina yang wujud dalam kehidupan masyarakat tradisi amat berkurangan terutamanya bagi para arkitek dan perancang. Kajian terhadap impak globalisasi yang wujud terhadap penempatan tradisi juga sering dilupakan. Dalam masa yang sama, kesan globalisasi yang memberi ancaman terhadap kebudayaan yang wujud sekian lama akan menghakis kekentalan budaya. Satu analisis visual terhadap penempatan tradisi di Kampung Laut, Tumpat, Kelantan telah dijalankan untuk mengkaji aspek budaya yang masih wujud dan kesan globalisasi terhadap komuniti. Perbahasan teori yang digunakan akan menjelaskan hubungan budaya dan alam bina komuniti dalam menghadapi dunia globalisasi.
The traditional community has its own unique characteristics. It is vastly different in comparison to city life. Before the Industrial Revolution, village life was also gradually changing. The current stream of globalization that has engulfed the entire world has made the cultural and community lost its traditional elements. Thus, the awareness of the traditional community\u27s architectural values inherently in the life of the traditional community is greatly diminished, specifically for architects and planners. Studies on the impact of globalization on traditional settlements are often overlooked. Hence, the effects of globalization that threatens existing cultures will erode and subsequently eradicate cultural resilience. A visual analysis of traditional settlements in Kampung Laut, Tumpat, Kelantan was conducted to study aspects of the existing culture and to further analyze as to how much of an impact does globalization have on the community. The theory used will explain the cultural and built-environment relationships of communities in the face of globalization
Perceived Government Support as an Antecedent of Attitude and Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC) Effect on Agricultural Entrepreneurship (Agropreneurship) Intention Among the Youth in Sabah
No full textAgropreneurship refers to producing, processing, and selling various agricultural products. Essentially, the Sabah Agriculture Blueprint 2021-2030 aims to attract more public involvement, particularly among graduates in the agriculture and fisheries sector, while lessening such imported goods. The Sabahan youth could benefit from this blueprint. Despite this significance, youth participation in the agricultural industry remains low. Therefore, this study examined the effect of the perceived government support on the attitude towards agropreneurship and PBC. On top of that, this study investigated the effect of perceived government support, the attitude towards agropreneurship, PBC, and social norms (SN) on the agropreneurship intention of Sabahan youth. In this study, 353 Sabahan youth participated in the survey. The data were analysed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) 3.2.9. The results revealed that all hypotheses were significant, except for social norms and agropreneurship intention. In sum, this study could contribute to formulating policies and relevant programs, especially in increasing youth participation in agropreneurship
