Art appreciation of the Malaysia independence day logo 2020
No full textFrom the perception of Art Appreciation, requires two main aspects, namely formalistic and content.
These two aspects come together to form a work of art. The logo is one of the results of art in the form
of digital art that are always used in graphic design. This paper is conducted to identify the visual
characteristic of the Malaysian Independence Day logo. Researchers only chose Independence Day for
the year 2020 to be analyzed because it is the logo for the current year and is the latest logo design
created compared to the previous two years using the same logo. To achieve the purpose, this method
of this study is qualitative, which is to use the study of art appreciation evaluation analysis in the
context of form and content. It clearly shows the formalistic aspects used in translating the literal and
implicit meanings in the Independence Day 2020 logo. This logo features various artistic elements of
art and principles of design, as described in this study. It also gives sense to the events that took place
during the year. This study has combined the theoretical aspects of Formalistic art with graphic design
that is the study of the Independence Day logo. A logo can be considered successful if all sections of society understand it. This logo is created every year, according to the theme and identity of the
country. The logo design refers to the symbolism of a multiracial society that is pluralistic and dignified
the culture in this country. Through the analysis that has been made, the creation of the Independence
Day 2020 logo can be accepted because the logo is simple and easy to understand by the community.
The use of the right logo can change people's perception of something
Genetic diversity of redclaw crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus von Martens 1868 using 16S mitochondrial DNA marker
No full textThere have been reported around 11 aquatic invasive alien species (IAS) found in Malaysian waters.
Cherax quadricarinatus, or commonly known as Australian redclaw crayfish, is one of the invasive
species. C. quadricarinatus has the potential of causing negative impacts ecologically and economically
in the local environment as it has reported in several countries if they get established and not
monitored properly. Habitat alteration, native species depletion and spreading of diseases are among
the reported negative impacts of C. quadricarinatus. This study was conducted with the aim to assess
the genetic diversity of C. quadricarinatus from 4 different populations. Uncovering the diversity and
population structure of the redclaw crayfish will help in enhancing the understanding of adaptation
and survival of C. quadricarinatus. Thus, the information can be used in monitoring and management
of this invasive crayfish in future. DNA of C. quadricarinatus was successfully extracted from its tissue and amplified via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) 16S gene then
proceeded for sequencing and analysed using several genetic analysis software to understand the
diversity, phylogeny and population structure of this invasive crayfish species. A total of 493 bp
fragments of 32 samples from four sampling sites were obtained. Four haplotypes were observed
which Hap-1 was the most common haplotype. The highest genetic variation is Selangor (Pi = 0.00248,
Hd = 0.694). However, low levels of both haplotype and nucleotide diversity indicates the loss of
genetic diversity. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) results revealed that the percentage of
genetic variation within the population was 69.58% while among populations was 30.42%, indicating
significant genetic differentiation among population (P < 0.05). The maximum likelihood tree showed
that all haplotypes were clustered and grouped together with United States, Czech Republic, China and
Australia
Anthropometric Variables in the Identification of High-performance Volleyball Players
No full textIn this chapter, we delve into the importance of certain anthropometric- and age-related variables in the detection
of high- performance players during an indoor volleyball tournament. It is demonstrated that high- performance
players in this sport are essentially taller, relatively younger, as well as slightly heavier, whilst huge body size coupled
with higher age is found to be associated with low performance in the sport of men indoor volleyball . Moreover,
an ANN-based classification model was found to be effective in the identification of the performance classes of the
players. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd
Application of decision support system using composite performance index algorithm
No full textEvery village has a site of leadership. The village head is the person who is entitled to manage the
village. The person is the one that is elected to build and develop the village. The village heads will try
to improve the situation of the village as well as its residents. People who have this rank have
obligations and responsibilities for carrying out village activities. However, democracy is the way to
accomplish the best outcomes in terms of peace, justice, and security. The decision support system
using the Composite Performance Index (CPI) method functions to assess village head candidates
and process them in order to get good ranking results. The most important result of the election is
what the village head decides. The application of the Composite Performance Index (CPI) method
is very good in determining the right person who will occupy the position of the village head
