A six-term novel chaotic system with hidden attractor and its circuit design
No full textIn this work, we propose a six-term novel 3D chaotic system with hidden attractor. The novel 3D chaotic system consists of sic terms and two quadratic nonlinearities. We show that the novel chaotic system has no equilibrium point and hence it exhibits hidden attractor. A detailed qualitative analysis of the 3D chaotic system is presented such as phase portrait analysis, Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagram and Poincare map. The mathematical model of the novel chaotic system is accompanied by an electrical circuit implementation, demostrating chaotic behavior of the strange attractor. Finally, the circuit experimental results of the chaotic attractors show agreement with numerical simulations
Talent identification of potential archers through fitness and motor ability performance variables by means of artificial neural network
No full textThe utilisation of artificial intelligence for prediction and classification in the sport of archery is still in its infancy. The
present study classified and predicted high and low potential archers from a set of fitness and motor ability variables
trained on artificial neural network (ANN). 50 youth archers with the mean age and standard deviation of (17.00 ±
0.56) drawn from various archery programmes completed a one end archery shooting score test. Standard fitness and
ability measurements of hand grip, vertical jump, standing broad jump, static balance, upper muscle strength and the
core muscle were conducted. The cluster analysis was used to cluster the archers based on the performance variables
tested to high performing archers (HPA) and low performing archers (LPA), respectively. ANN was used to train the
measured performance variables. The five-fold cross-validation technique was utilised in the study. It was established
that the ANN model is able to demonstrate a reasonably excellent classification on the evaluated indicators with a
classification accuracy of 94% in classifying the HPA and the LPA. © 2018, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd
Indoctrinating Limited Liabilty in Partnership Business Entities: The Development in Malaysia
No full textPrior to the millennium era, there was only one partnership business
entity in Malaysia, namely the general partnership which was
governed by the Partnerships Act 1961. In 2012, a new business entity,
known as Limited Liability Partnerships was introduced in Malaysia.
The Limited Liability Partnership Act 2012 (LLP Act) was passed
and gazetted in February 2012. The LLP Act 2012 is the outcome of
an initiative by the Companies Commission of Malaysia to develop
the local market. It marked a major development in Malaysian
business laws after more than half a century of independence. This
new business entity allows general traders and a few professionals
such as lawyers and accountants to set up an incorporated business
entity which is not a company.
The Malaysian LLP is a hybrid business entity which enjoys both
partnership and corporate attributes. Although the LLP has the status
of a body corporate, its internal regulation is similar to a partnership.
One of the significant developments of law which the LLP enriched is
altering the unlimited liability regime in partnership based business
entities. This article discusses and highlights the development and
application of limited liability in Malaysia’s partnership based
entities

No full textThe Knowledge of Social Work Students about Domestic Violence
No full textDomestic violence can be defined as an abuse of
power by spouse especially husband which is attempting to
control or dominate his partner. The main purpose of this study
is to identify the knowledge of social work students on domestic
violence.A total of 300 students from 19 to 26 years old were
selected as respondents. This study used descriptive analysis by
reporting the results of the study in terms of frequency and
percentage to determine the level of knowledge of social work
students on domestic violence. The research instrument used was
a questionnaire.The results showed that out of 300
undergraduates surveyed, the majority of social work students
have knowledge of domestic violence by recording a high
percentage of each question, which is 50% and above. From this
studies, it was found that the student gained the knowledge
regarding the domestic violence through mass media and
attended the seminar organized by the local community.
Therefore, these studieshave demonstrated that the students
gained the knowledge of domestic violence as well as information
is needed to ensure social work students can work professionally
with the victims that are facing domestic violence
A Large Left Ventricular Tumour Presenting With Arrhythmias In A 2 -Month -Old Infant
No full textPrimary cardiac tumours (PCT) are rare in the paediatric population. They can present in a variety of ways – from being asymptomatic, obstructive with heart failure, strokes, arrhythmias or sudden death. We present a 2-month-old child who was admitted because of heart failure from varying types of arrhythmias and was found on echocardiography to have a large left ventricular tumour. A high clinical suspicion in any infant or child who presents with an unexplained heart murmur, arrhythmias or congestive heart failure should prompt relevant investigations ruling out this entity
