Aplikasi teknik pemotongan laser dalam rekabentuk produk batik merbok
No full textBatik merupakan seni tekstil Melayu yang amat tinggi nilainya (Azah Aziz, 2006). Seni kraf ini juga telah wujud sejak zaman prasejarah dan popular di kalangan masyarakat Melayu (Siti Zainon, 1986). Lazimnya, seni batik wujud dalam pelbagai bentuk rekaan fabrik. Antaranya ialah pakaian, perhiasan dan hiasan dalaman. Seiring dengan peredaran zaman, kaedah berasaskan sains dan teknologi mula mengambil tempat dalam penghasilan produk kraf tangan. Penghasilan seni batik kontemporari dengan menggabungkan teknologi moden kini, di samping mengekalkan identiti, tradisi, dan elemen tempatan yang berpotensi untuk memartabatkan seni kraf. Penulisan ini bertujuan mengenengahkan kaedah dan teknik pemotongan laser yang diguna pakai dalam produk Batik Merbok. Kaedah moden ini adalah lebih pantas untuk menyiapkan seni ukiran berbanding cara tradisional. Mesin pemotongan laser ini juga adalah teknologi yang menggunakan sinar plasma untuk kerja mengukir atau menggores dan memotong material tertentu tetapi menggunakan komputer serta perisian program khusus. Kualiti ukiran daripada laser ini juga lebih terperinci dan mampu memberi nilai seni yang baik, selain prosesnya yang sangat cepat. Hal ini demikian kerana karya yang dihasilkan daripada mesin ukiran dan pemotongan laser ini adalah pelbagai, malahan mampu menghasilkan nilai seni yang bernilai tinggi serta tidak terhad. Berdasarkan kajian Noor Haslina et al. (2016), seni yang bercirikan batik perlu mengalami perubahan dan bersifat fleksibel kerana dapat menonjolkan kelebihan dan keistimewaan seni kraf tangan tersebut. Maka, satu revolusi baharu diperlukan untuk melihat penggunan motif batik diaplikasikan untuk kegunaan pelbagai produk. Penyelidik juga telah mengaplikasikan teknik pemotongan laser dalam rekaan produk Batik Merbok. Teknik ini merupakan satu cabang untuk mempelbagaikan produk batik di samping untuk memelihara identiti masyarakat Melayu yang berasaskan seni batik
Kesesuaian undang-undang untuk perlindungan corak tradisional orang Iban di Sarawak
No full textCorak tradisional Orang Iban yang semakin mendapat perhatian
telah ditiru, dieksploitasi, digunakan tanpa kebenaran dan digunakan
dalam keadaan yang menghina Orang Iban. Artikel ini bertujuan
untuk memberikan gambaran tentang undang-undang yang sesuai
bagi melindungi pengungkapan kebudayaan tradisional (PKT),
terutamanya corak tradisional. Hal ini kerana terdapat pelbagai jenis
undang-undang yang digunakan di seluruh dunia dalam melindungi
PKT dan tiada instrumen undang-undang antarabangsa yang khusus
diperuntukkan untuk melindungi PKT. Selain daripada itu, objektif
artikel ini juga bertujuan untuk mencadangkan undang-undang yang sesuai digunakan di Malaysia untuk melindungi corak tradisional
Orang Iban daripada perspektif PKT. Kajian perpustakaan dilakukan
berdasarkan sumber primer dan sekunder seperti buku, kertas-kertas
kajian dan dokumen perundangan melalui pangkalan data elektronik
dan carian Internet menggunakan kata kunci seperti perlindungan
warisan budaya, perlindungan pengungkapan kebudayaan tradisional,
warisan Orang Asal dan perlindungan corak Orang Asal. Dapatan
kajian diasingkan dan dibincangkan mengikut jenis undang-undang
yang dicadangkan iaitu undang-undang warisan budaya, undangundang harta intelek, gabungan undang-undang, undang-undang adat
dan undang-undang sui generis. Hasil kajian menunjukkan tiada satu
jenis undang-undang yang dipersetujui di peringkat antarabangsa
untuk melindungi PKT. Kajian ini mencadangkan supaya undangundang warisan budaya dan harta intelek sedia ada dipinda dan
digunakan secara bersama-sama untuk memberikan perlindungan
yang pantas untuk beberapa aspek keperluan Orang Iban terhadap
corak tradisional mereka. Namun begitu, satu kerangka perundangan
baru yang khusus (sui generis) harus digubal untuk memberikan
perlindungan yang menyeluruh dan untuk jangka masa yang panjang
bagi corak tradisional Orang Iba
Fossil fuel price, carbon dioxide emission, and renewable energy capacity : Evidence from Asian developing countries
No full textThis paper examined the impact of fossil fuel price and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission on renewable energy, using a sample of 14 Asian developing countries from the years 2000 to 2018. Fossil fuel prices, mainly those of crude oil and coal, are positively related to renewable energy capacity. CO2 emission is also a positive driver, indicating the significance of environmental concern. The results were consistent for both the upper-middle-income and lower-middle-income countries. Between fossil fuels and CO2 emission, the positive impact of CO2 emission outweighed that of fossil fuels. From a policy perspective, this paper concurs the need to shift huge subsidies away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and to enforce a heavy tax on CO2 emission for a sustainable environment
Faktor luaran dan hubungannya terhadap pencapaian ujian pengesanan dan jantina pelajar dalam kemahiran menulis Bahasa Arab di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Malaysia
No full textKajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara faktor luaran terhadap pencapaian ujian pengesanan dan jantina pelajar dalam kemahiran menulis bahasa Arab di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Malaysia. Sebanyak 140 orang responden daripada empat buah institusi pengajian tinggi Malaysia (IPTM) dipilih iaitu Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (90 orang), Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Selangor (25 orang), Kolej Universiti Islam Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah (9 orang), dan Kolej Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Ismail Petra (16 orang) sebagai sampel kajian. Data yang diperolehi dianalisis menggunakan perisian Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) versi 22.0. Kaedah analisis inferensi iaitu korelasi Pearson digunakan untuk mencari hubungan antara dua pemboleh ubah kajian yang berbeza iaitu pemboleh ubah bersandar dan pemboleh ubah tidak bersandar. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara faktor luaran terhadap kemahiran menulis bahasa Arab berdasarkan ujian pengesanan namun hubungan ini didapati signifikan berdasarkan jantina pelajar. Hal ini kerana didapati korelasi antara faktor luaran terhadap pencapaian ujian pengesanan pelajar ialah (r = - 0.062, n = 140, p= 0.463), manakala korelasi antara faktor luaran terhadap jantina pelajar ialah (r =0.181, n = 140, p = 0.032). Dapatan ini menunjukkan hubungan antara faktor luaran terhadap ujian pengesanan adalah tiada kaitan dalam mempengaruhi kemahiran menulis bahasa Arab dan tidak mempunyai signifikan. Namun begitu, pengkaji mendapati faktor luaran boleh mempengaruhi kemahiran menulis bahasa Arab dalam kalangan pelajar IPTM secara signifikan berdasarkan jantina berdasarkan analisis kajian yang diperoleh

Endophytic bacteria diversity from zingiberaceae and anticandidal characterization produced by pseudomonas helmanticensis
No full textEndophytic microbes are sources for the novel antibiotic. We isolated endophytic bacteria from Zingiberaceae collected from West Sulawesi, Indonesia, and investigated their anticandidal activity. Molecular identification of the isolates was done using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The antimicrobial activity was tested against four bacteria and one yeast. The anticandidal compound of selected bacteria was extracted using three different solvents (chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol), and each fraction was tested for their anticandidal activity. Anticandidal minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined with concentration ranging from 300 to 18.75 ?g/mL, and the morphology of the Candida cells after treatment was confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The identification of anticandidal compounds was conducted using GC-MS. A total of 24 isolates were collected from Zingiberaceae plants. There were 14 genera and 19 species belonging to Gammaproteobacteria (66.67%), Alphaproteobacteria (25.00%), Actinobacteria (4.17%), Bacteriodetes (4.17%), and a new record for Lelliottia aquatilis as an endophytic bacteria. One of 24 isolates identified as Pseudomonas helmanticensis isolated from Alpinia melichroa showed anticandidal activity. Ethyl acetate was the appropriate solvent to extract the anticandidal compounds. Diisooctyl phthalate was found as the most abundant compound in the extract for the anticandidal activity. An increase in extract concentration did not reduce the Candida cell number. The extract treatment showed membrane disruption of Candida albicans cells. We propose that active compounds from P. helmanticensis are potential as anticandidal sources and could be explored more for the pharmaceutical industry
Factors influencing the adoption of Facebook as a marketing channel among SMEs in Nigeria as a developing country: A conceptual framework
No full textThis paper reviews empirical literature to develop a conceptual framework for the adoption of Facebook as a marketing channel by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries like Nigeria. Recent peer-review journal articles were reviewed to develop the conceptual framework for this study. Facebook provides SMEs with a cost-effective strategy for marketing their products and services to both local and international customers. However, SMEs in developing countries like Nigeria are slow in the adoption of Facebook. A literature review has revealed a lack of research on the adoption of Facebook by SMEs from the context of developing countries like Nigeria. Most of the existing studies on Facebook adoption were conducted in developed countries. Findings from such studies cannot be directly applied to SMEs in developing countries because they face different challenges. The paper proposes a conceptual framework based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework that can be empirically tested by a future researcher to determine factors influencing the intention of small and medium enterprises operating in the context of developing countries to adopt Facebook as a marketing channel to enhance their competitive advantage in the modern market. Findings from this study would be beneficial to decision-makers in Nigerian SMEs and Nigerian government agencies with responsibility for strengthening SMEs\u27 activities in the country. It will also encourage and guide SMEs to adopt Facebook as their marketing channel
