No full textHydrological pattern of Pahang River basin and their relation to flood historical event
No full textPahang River is the main channel to drain off water from the inundated area of Pahang Basin to the South China Sea during wet season which is caused by the northeast monsoon. Most of the inundations of lower areas of Pahang River Basin were caused by overflowing of the Pahang River. The statistics of rainfall and hydrological factors were calculated in terms of their means for the period from 1980 to 2009. The highest water level recorded at Sg. Yap was 45.36m and the lowest was 43.49m, whereas for Temerloh,
the highest water level was 26.71m and the lowest was 24.73m. Lubuk Paku had the highest water level of 15.23m and the lowest was recorded as 12.70m. Besides that, the highest monthly total rainfall at Sg.Yap was 254.01mm and the lowest was 106.67mm. At Temerloh, the highest monthly total rainfall was 219.83mm and the lowest was 93.75mm. At Lubuk Paku, the highest monthly total rainfall was 324.57mm and the lowest was 79.81mm. The mean discharge of Pahang River (1980-2009) at Sg. Yap was 845.78m³/s, at Temerloh was 1008.50m³/s and Lubuk Paku was 1184.46m³/s. The water levels which beyond the danger level in recent three decades had also been identified
Relation of cultural and social attributes in dwelling, responding to privacy in Iranian Traditional House.
No full textHouse as a shelter, from the early days of humanity, has been a worthy place, each culture and race has grown up under this shelter. Dwelling has always been such a fusion of living habits, environmental condition and cultural boundaries. Home is never created until there is a combination of comfort, fulfillment and a sense of belonging to a dwelling space. Privacy like security and peace is one of the rolling factors that affect housing forms. Since the past, Iranian architecture has emphasized on the relation between building and user. Culture and religious beliefs have concerned the Iranian user to have a suitable dwelling. The main result of this paper is that within Iranian traditional architecture the cultural affect on architecture has caused the division of the house in order to create privacy. These divisions by getting help from combination of open and closed spaces, has been formed professionally. The construction of the house was expanded in more than one floor with limited openings and view to outside; this is because of the inward looking feature of the traditional houses of Iran. On the other hand separation of house in to two or in some cases tree domains, public, private and in-between spaces has been one of these attempts, That made this architecture in accordance with people‟s culture and long lasting
Admission policy of students at Faculties of Education in Libyan Arab: evaluation study
No full textThis study is aimed to identify the student’s admission policy at the Faculties of Education in Libyan. The researcher was applied the descriptive - analytical approach, due to its relevance to the objectives of the study. The total size of the population for the study was (4048), from which a representative sample of (464) is chosen. A questionnaire, which is one of the descriptive approach tools, is used in this study. Due to the lack of a ready-in-hand questionnaire the researchers was prepared and built a questionnaire, and conducted validity and reliability of the tool. The researchers used appropriate statistical methods of frequencies, percentages, standard deviations, arithmetic means, and evaluation estimates. The study found that the paragraphs of the student’s admission were obtained average and weak evaluation estimates, which is an indication of the weakness of the admission policy in the Faculties of Education in Libyan. In addition, the study revealed that the programs and policies of the student’s admission were not implemented. Thus, the researchers put forwards a set of recommendations, among which, they recommended to choose and select the best of the applicants, who are willing to practice teaching, besides attracting the most intelligent, knowledge, and skilled applicants. This is can be achieved by activating the role of the personal interview and the necessity to pass this interview. This is in order to ensure a good appearance and strong personality of the applicant, besides the mental and intellectual integrity of the applicant. Moreover, it is also recommended to set high marks and percentage rates of success in high schools, which cannot be dispensed as a prerequisite requirement for admission policy. As well, the allocation of special committees for admission in the Faculties of Education and the follow-up procedures of registration and the choice of the specializations, and to put a studied plans to a link between the need for certain disciplines and the absorptive capacities of the Faculties
Penilaian kemudahan pembelajaran, peruntukan kewangan dan kursus dalam perkhidmatan bagi kursus Pendidikan Islam di Politeknik Malaysia
No full textThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the learning facilities, financial allocation, in-service training to support the Islamic Education Courses in Polytechnic of Malaysia. The design of the study was a cross-sectional survey by using questionnaires to collect the research data. The respondents of the study were comprised of Polytechnics lecturers who were selected randomly. The findings showed that learning facilities, financial and in-service training are at the moderate level. Therefore, in order to maintain the quality of teaching and learning, the Polytechnic Administration should ensure learning facilities such as classrooms, teaching aids, financial allocation are in place and should be enhance to support the Islamic Education Courses. In addition to that, the Polytechnic should design their own in-service training to cater the current needs for the Polytechnic lecturers
Laboratory rearing of sycanus dichotomusStal. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) insect predator of oil palm bagworm, metisa planaWalker (lepidoptera: psychidae) (Pemeliharaan Sycanus dichotomus stal. (hemiptera: reduviidae) serangga pemangsa ulat bungkus tanaman sawit, metisa plana (lepidoptera: psychidae) walker di Makmal)
No full textKajian untuk memelihara Sycanus dichotomus Stal. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), serangga pemangsa ulat bungkus tanaman sawit, Metisa plana Walker (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) dengan menggunakan larva dua spesies serangga, Corcyra cephalonica Stainton (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) dan Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) telah dilakukan di makmal. Kemandirian hidup (%), bilangan telur yang menetas dan tempoh (hari) perkembangan pemangsa (lima peringkat nimfa) telah direkodkan. Min tempoh perkembangan pemangsa peringkat nimfa pertama hingga kelima pemangsa apabila diberi makan larva C. cephalonica masing-masingnya adalah 15.16, 12.09, 11.63, 14.25 dan 18.53 hari, manakala 15.21, 12.34, 12.64, 14.84 dan 21.89 hari apabila diberi makan T. molitor. Min masa perkembangan dari peringkat telur hingga dewasa S. dichotomus apabila diberi makan larva T. molitor adalah lebih lama (156.5 hari) dan berbeza secara bererti (t = 6.51; dk = 87; p < 0.05) berbanding apabila diberi makan dengan larva C. cephalonica (122.8 hari). Peratus kemandirian hidup S. dichotomus daripada peringkat nimfa pertama hingga dewasa adalah lebih tinggi (81%) apabila diberi larva T. molitor berbanding larva C. cephalonica (76%) sebagai makanan. Julat bilangan telur yang menetas apabila diberi makan larva T. molitor adalah antara 46.6 hingga 77.6 ekor. Keputusan menunjukkan S. dichotomus boleh dipelihara dengan menggunakan larva T. molitor sebagai makanan. Keputusan kajian ini juga diharapkan menjadi titik tolak permulaan penyelidikan seterusnya di dalam bidang hubungan mangsa-pemangsa bagi program kawalan biologi di ladang sawit
