Sensory evaluation, physicochemical properties and expected glycaemic index of muffin incorporated with wheat flour and pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) flour.
No full textBackground and Aims : This study aims to develop the doughnuts that incorporated with different
formulated percentages and types of sweet potato flour. Sweet potato flour (SPF) contains less amount of
protein but rich in dietary fiber content and carbohydrate, so a successful combination with wheat flour for
doughnut production would be nutritionally advantageous. Materials and Methods : In this experiment,
sweet potato flour was incorporated in the formulation wheat flour (ratio of 10%, 30%, and 50%)
respectively. These samples were then subjected to sensory evaluation prior to be proceeded with
physical and chemical analyses. The physical and chemical analyses were determined using the
standard methods. The predicted glycaemic index analysis was also evaluated for the respective
formulations. Results : On the basis of sensory evaluation, 30% white SPF doughnut had scored the
highest mean for overall acceptability. For the physical analysis, it was found that the volume, specific
volume, firmness, and chroma decreased as the percentage of SPF increased. Besides, the lower
volume was preferable by the respondents. It was also noted that in term of nutritional value, 30% white
SPF doughnuts is the most acceptable as it contains higher fiber as compared to others. However, it
contains higher fat percentage which may be caused by the cooking method. Moreover, incorporation of
30% SPF contributes to the lowest GI as it reduced the GI for up to 32% as compared to the control
doughnut. Conclusion : In conclusion, it was speculated that SPF is a promising potential resource in
alleviating the problem of escalating price of wheat in order to use in bakery products at optimum level of
substitution. On top of that, the consumption of food with low glycemic index value is associated with
better health outcome. Further analysis on method of cooking, storage, and product developments using
SPF should be done in order to optimize the usage of sweet potato and prevent the food wasting

No full textWira ekspress mobile apps as computer assisted learning in supporting cocurriculum subject
No full textThe development of education in Malaysia shows positive developments from physical and spiritual
aspects. The drive of human values is seen as important in shaping students who have a human value
to meet the challenges ahead. Among the activities for applying this value is through the cocurriculum program. Students are encouraged to work with local and international communities to
achieve the goal of developing soft skills. Generally, university students often carry out activities
outside of lectures at various locations. Hence, students are exposed to some emergency situations
that require them to act fast. They need to implement the initial aid measures before actual help
arrives. Among the most common emergencies during physical activity outside the classroom are
falling due to broken, electric shock, venomous bites, and food poisoning. This emergency can also
occur if they are at home or at the hostels. Prototype named Hero Express is an application that can
be stored on a student's mobile phone that can be used when the emergency occurs as an initial rescue
step before the ambulance arrives. This app has several modules, namely Kecemasan (broken, insect
bites, etc.), Hati-hati (refers to some areas in the home to be taken into account by the students) as
well as Uji Diri (grasp the level of student understanding of emergency measures). It can help students
make early references in case of anxiety towards them. The co-curriculum student feedback is very
positive on the usability of this app to guide them during emergency situations

Mangrove attribute preferences for environmental conservation: evident from choice modeling approach
No full textMangrove forest provides a variety of service both ecologically and economically. But they are experiencing severe
threats, with high annualized shrinkage rates in almost all countries. This situation emphasizes the decision maker to
make efficient decision making on continuous sustainability of conservation programs by understanding the local
community preferences of the mangrove attribute. To obtain this objective, this paper applies the choice modeling
(CM) experiment method, which is the one of the preferred non-market valuation technique. CM is creating strong
interest among researchers because of very flexible in dealing with complex models of "trade-offs" between attributes,
so that makes it possible to model the community choices on selected mangrove attribute. To perform this technique,
a series of choice card were distributed to 526 respondents from three areas around Setiu Wetlands (SW), Terengganu,
Malaysia using face to face survey method. The result from multinomial logit model showed that the six attribute
selected for the environmental conservation was significantly influenced community preferences. The results of this
study indicate that the forest mangrove area (MANREA), water quality (WATERQ) and the price of mangrove sapling
tree (PRICE) have the expected sign with higher marginality value for concerted efforts for sustainable management of
the mangrove forest. The finding indicates that local communities are likely to support mangrove conservation
management initiatives that promote sustainable use of the mangrove resources
Detection and extraction features for signatures images via different techniques
No full textSignature is one of the most important features to identify individuals. It represents a specific mark that includes
handwritten characters or symbols. Also, signing takes place in a wide range of businesses, such as bank transactions
and government documents so it provides a good way to maintain security, in biometric systems. Signature is used as
a feature to identify the user by extracting a set of features. Over time, a number of techniques have been developed to
identify and extract a set of features from the signature image. Although there are many of these techniques, there is a
set of elements that determines the feasibility of using a particular technique, such as accuracy, computational
complexity, and the time needed to extract features. In this paper, three widely used feature detection algorithms,
SURF, BRISK and FAST, these algorithms are compared to calculate the processing time and accuracy for set of
signatures correctly. Three techniques have been applied using (UTSig) dataset; the results showed that the BRISK
algorithm got the best result among the feature detection algorithm in terms of accuracy and the FAST algorithm got
the best result among the feature detection algorithm in terms of run time
