War ethics in armed conflicts under international Humanitarian Law and Islamic Perspective
No full textThis study aims to examine the war ethics in armed conflicts under international humanitarian law and Islamic perspective. To achieve the objective of the study, semi-structured interviews were carried out with two legal officers in the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF). The legal qualitative research was conducted by adopting a document analysis method to strengthen the findings. The study shows that there are similarities in war ethics between International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and the teachings of Islam. Both bring a war ethic that is not aimed for devastation and victory, but rather to protect oneself and the nation against the threat of the enemy. However, if human beings or the military do not follow and obey what has been outlined in the IHL and the guidance of war in Islam, this ethics will not be useful. If these war ethics are adequately practiced, then the world will not suffer destruction and prolonged war. Therefore, this study is very significant to bring a message of peace and harmony to the world, especially to appreciate the ethics of war in IHL and Islam to live in peace and tranquility in the future
The malay cultural landscape of kutai houses
No full textThe \u27Malays cosmology\u27 focuses on principles of belief, the world of thought, and culture. Concerning the Malay landscape, this research is a continuation of previous findings. This study aims to obtain a list of landscape elements and their arrangements in the Kutai house (KH) style compound, located in the Perak Tengah District. On the other hand, the study was conducted to determine each landscape design elements\u27 function, layout, and composition. It exposes the identity of the Malay landscape and indirectly enhances the community\u27s self-esteem. It is possible to broaden the Malay Garden concept (MGC) identity and image. The finding showed a significant
resultthat illustrated this concept is inconsistent as it has been subject to several interpretations and makes it challenging to explore scientifically
Convolutional neural network and OpenCV based mobile application to detect wear out in car tyres
No full textThis work proposes a technique for detecting wear out of car tyres. Tyre is the only part of the vehicle
which is in contact with road. Hence tyre condition should be monitored timely in order to have a safe
drive. Tyre wear out occurs because of the parameters such as rubber degradation, when there are
around 4 to 5 punctures, bulged tyre. We consider some of the above parameters to assess the wear of
tyre using the computer vision techniques such as OpenCV and convolutional neural networks.
OpenCV and convolutional neural networks are most used in object detection and image
classification. We used these techniques and obtained an accuracy of 90.95%, with which we can
predict the wear of tyre to avoid dangerous accidents
First records of Cardiocondyla ants from Myanmar
No full textNumerous species of the diverse ant genus Cardiocondyla have been reported from countries in Southeast Asia, but as yet nothing has been known about their presence in Myanmar. A short, preliminary survey documents the occurrence of at least five species of Cardiocondyla in anthropogenically disturbed areas, such as gardens and parks. The species most commonly sampled has been determined as C. tjibodana, other specimens as C. parvinoda, C. obscurior, C. itsukii and one or two taxa of the unresolved C. kagutsuchi complex. Further studies, in particular in more natural habitats, will certainly reveal the presence of additional species of this highly interesting genus
No full textThis study aims to investigate if there a significant different in pre and post of Early Mathematics performance. A single group pre-test and post-test with intervening Early Mathematics based games was used in this research. This involved assessment on the early Mathematics abilities (Ginsburg & Baroody, 2003). This program was conducted among preschoolers (aged 5-6 years old) in one selected rural preschool in Menggatal district, Sabah. The school has 4 classes of 25 students each, with a total of 100 preschoolers. One sample t-test was conducted to compare mathematics ability of children before and after intervention. Mean score for pre-test is 15, while mean score for post-test is 22.32. There was a significant difference in the scores for mathematic ability in pre-test (M=15.78, SD=.99) and post-test (M=22.32, SD=.78), t (86) (=-28.52, p = 0.000). The results show, that the use of games developed by authors are effective in improving preschoolers early Mathematics performance
Removal of nitrogen containing compounds from fuel using modified activated carbon
No full textThis study was carried out to understand the suitability of activated carbon (AC) which is modified with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and tested by its adsorption capacity of nitrogen containing compounds (NCC) from fuel with three variables such as different concentrations of model fuel, contact time, and amount of modified AC (MAC). Batch mode experiments were conducted to remove quinoline (QUI) and indole (IND) from the model fuel prepared from n-hexane. All the experimental data were analysed using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy after adsorption experiment between adsorbent and model fuel. Modification of commercial AC involved impregnation with different ratios of HCl solution. The characterization of modified and unmodified AC was done by using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption potential of the MAC was measured based on the two isotherms, which are Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms to determine the isotherm constants and two kinetic models which are pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. The adsorption capacity for QUI and IND was found to be 0.4708 mg/g and 0.8094 mg/g, respectively. On the other hand, the rate of adsorption for QUI and IND was 6.3766 and 0.4992, respectively. The adsorption kinetic experiment for both QUI and IND was found to follow the pseudo first-order
Sustainable livelihood strategies and potential socio-economic development activities in Kampung Kesindu, Simunjan
No full textThis study takes place in an Iban community village located at the foot of Bukit Buri in an area called Kampung Kesindu, Simunjan. A part of the community lives in the longhouse headed by a headman named Tuai Rumah Robert Gana anak Jampong, while others have built their own houses around the longhouse. The aims of this study are to study the sustainable livelihood strategies and potential socio-economic development activities in Kampung Kesindu, Simunjan. The study explores how the community livelihood strategies influenced their socio-economic and natural environment. This study combines qualitative survey and participatory research techniques, namely Participatory Research Appraisal (PRA), as an approach to achieve a broad understanding of the livelihood strategies and land use of the community in Kampung Kesindu. The social sciences techniques used in this study are transect walk, seasonal calendar, focus group interview, and questionnaire survey. The study shows the essential aspect of the livelihood strategy in the community is to strike a balance between income security and food security. In addition, natural, social, human, financial, and physical capitals were identified to study the livelihood strategies at Kampung Kesindu. It is also important to realise that the community is dynamic in managing their resources. Government agencies play an important role in providing the subsidy and assistance for agriculture development in Kampung Kesindu. In summary, the current agricultural activities and practices of the community have little impact on the local natural resources. The community of Kampung Kesindu has identified that the community after much experience and observation made throughout the years of carrying out the agricultural activities as top priority that will improve their socio-economi
