Identifying optimal Window-To-Wall Ratio (WWR) and Window-To-Floor Ratio (WFR) for typical higher educational classrooms to address deficiencies in daylighting design
Full text linkDaylighting plays a crucial role in creating conducive learning environments in higher education classrooms, enhancing visual comfort, student performance, well-being, and overall satisfaction. However, many educational facilities suffer from poor daylighting design, leading to uneven illumination, glare, and overdependence on artificial lighting. This study addresses these issues by investigating current daylighting conditions, particularly focusing on Window-to-Wall Ratio (WWR) and Window-to-Floor Ratio (WFR), which significantly influence natural light distribution. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of existing glazing configurations and propose optimised WWR and WFR values using both field measurements and simulation through Building Information Modelling (BIM) software, specifically Autodesk Revit. Field data from two classrooms equipped with tinted glass were compared to daylight factor (DF) standards from MS1525 (2019) and WFR recommendations of UBBL (1984). Findings reveal that while WWR and WFR exceeded the minimum threshold of 20%, daylight penetration, and uniformity varied, with some areas suffering from insufficient light and glare. This research highlights the need for improved daylighting design, offering evidence-based recommendations to optimize natural light in educational spaces, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency

ChromPATCH: cutting-edge chromolaenaodorata-loaded hybrid hydrogel wound dressing material for sustained healing
Full text linkWound management remains a global challenge, particularly for delayed healing and severe infections. Hydrogel dressings have emerged as advanced wound care materials, with increasing interest in incorporating bioactive compounds such as plant extracts. Chromolaena odorata(daun kapal terbang), often considered an invasive species, possesses antioxidant, antibacterial, antiinflammatory, and wound-healing properties. This study harnessed its medicinal potential to develop a novel, eco-friendly biopolymer hydrogel wound dressing. The hydrogel, formulated using cross-linked chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), demonstrated excellent mechanical strength, high swelling capacity, and antibacterial activitykey characteristics of an ideal wound dressing. The strong swelling behaviour of PVA and chitosan ensures extended wound contact and gradual release of C. odorata extract, enabling controlled, sustained bioactive delivery. The hydrogel's release profile follows zero-order kinetics with a diffusion-dominated mechanism, as described by the Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas models, ensuring a moist wound environment and prolonged therapeutic effect. This biocompatible and mechanically resilient hydrogel represents a sustainable, plant-based innovation in wound care, offering an effective alternative for enhanced healing
Numerical solution of time-dependent micropolar nanofluid flow over a linear curved stretching surface using BVP4C
Full text linkThis study focuses on the time-dependent flow of a micropolar nanofluid over a linear curved stretching surface, aiming to improve the numerical approach for solving heat transfer problems. Since the governing equations are nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), similarity transformations were applied to reduce them into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are easier to handle. These ODEs were then solved using the BVP4C solver in MATLAB, which is known for its ability to handle boundary value problems accurately. The study explores the effects of several physical parameters such as micropolar, curvature, unsteadiness, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, stretching and thermal slip on the fluid’s momentum, energy and concentration profiles. A dimensionless form of the equations was used, based on boundary layer assumptions, to simplify the modelling process. The results reveal that the momentum profile decreases with increasing micropolar parameter, while it increases with both curvature and unsteadiness parameters. For the energy profile, the temperature was found to decrease with increasing thermal slip and stretching parameters. Meanwhile, the concentration profile shows a decreasing trend with higher Brownian motion and curvature values. These findings highlight the effectiveness of BVP4C in solving nonlinear systems and provide valuable insight into how different physical parameters influence the flow, temperature, and concentration behaviour. A comparison with results from shooting method was also made to validate the accuracy of this approach. Overall, the findings contribute to a better understanding of micropolar nanofluid flow over curved surfaces and the use of numerical methods in fluid mechanics

The impact of the group settlement areas on local development in Kemaman, Terengganu
Full text linkAccess to land and housing is a basic human need for improved living conditions. However, various constraints and challenges hinder land ownership and the construction of residences, despite numerous policies implemented by the government since 1976. Even when residents can acquire land, many still struggle to develop it into a residence. Some landowners under the Group Settlement Areas have also been unable to build homes due to various obstacles. This study aims to examine the impact of the GSA ownership policy on providing housing for the community, particularly in the state of Terengganu. A case study of GSA Gong Chengal Kemasik, located in Kemaman District, Terengganu, was selected for this quantitative research, which involved a questionnaire survey of 125 respondents, all GSA landowners. Descriptive analysis and mean score values were used to assess the factors influencing land development and evaluate the GSA ownership policy's positive and negative impacts on participants and the surrounding area. The study’s findings indicate that economic and financial factors significantly influence respondents' decisions to develop their land, followed by social, physical, and administrative factors. The findings from this analysis will offer valuable insights for researchers and policymakers to formulate targeted strategies aimed at enhancing the habitability of GSA areas by addressing key challenges and ensuring that they are equipped with essential facilities to support sustainable residential development
Tech-class: Geofencing-driven attendance management system
Full text linkTraditional manual systems are prone to errors and inefficiencies, making accurate and effective attendance tracking a crucial challenge for educational institutions. To solve these problems, this project proposes developing a Geofencing-driven attendance management system for Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Machang, Kelantan.
