Pempolitikan dan reformasi pengurusan awam di malaysia
No full textKajian ini memfokuskan perbincangan tentang bentuk atau sasaran pempolitikan di kalangan pegawai atasan dalam konteks reformasi pengurusan dalam sektor awam. Konsep pempolitikan yang diketengahkan ini
berdasarkan teori pengurusan awam baru yang menekan dan mengikhtiraf ciri atau karektor politik dalam
pentadbiran, bercanggah dengan teori pentadiran awam tradisional yang menekankan kepada perlunya kepada
pemisahan di antara politik dan pentadbiran. Bagaimanapun, berbeza di barat titik temu di antara politik dan
pentadbiran sudah terjawab apabila model PAT ditolak antara lain kerana faktor policy deadlock dan
kemudiannya mengorak kepada pengurusan awam baru. Di Malaysia, pengasingan di antara birokrasi dan
politik atau pengurusan masih kabur. Birokrasi adalah satu proses yang menghalang campur tangan politik
namun ia seringkali dilihat tanpa sempadan yang jelas dari segi sejauhmana ianya dibenarkan. Dapatan
menunjukkan reformasi pengurusan atau secara khususnya melalui tingkah laku politik-pentadbiran yang
disingkap melalui hubungan di antara ahli politik dan birokrat, fasa kepimpinan dan pemimpin dan simbolik
politik telah menggugat profesionalisme dam akauntabiliti dalam kalangan pegawai atasan kerajaan. Oleh itu
PAB bukanlah satu model pengurusan awam yang istimewa di Malaysia kerana titik-temu politik telah
membawa kepada ketidakcekapan, berbanding kecekapan di bawah politik integriti seperti yang ditakrif di barat
Spatial hotspot patterns of a home burglary in Penang
No full textThis study is based on property crime cases in the Northeast of Penang using GIS application for crime prevention. Studies based on the spatial elements showed that GIS application was able to reduce the crime issues. The purpose of this study is to identify the hotspots of home burglary based on time incident in Penang using GIS spatial statistics. Based on the report of house burglary cases from 2013 until 2015. Getis Ord Gi* was used to identify the high-risk areas of home burglary cases based on z-scores and p-values. The analysis shows that the areas of the hot spot cases of home burglary are the same for night and day incidents. In 2013, the hot spot areas at night were 7 areas, and during the day only 1 incident was identified. Hot spot increases in 2014 to 9 areas for nighttime incidents while daytime events also increased to 10 areas. While 2015 showed that the number of hot spots that occurred at night reduced to 5 areas and daytime incidents also recorded the same number of hot spots during the night incidents. Hot spot areas also frequently identified in urban areas and high population density such as Jelutong, Dato Keramat, Tanjung Tokong dan Sungai Nibong. The result showed that hotspots of home burglary are more concentrated in residential areas with good road network accessibility. This study can assist the authorities such as the Royal Malaysia Police (RPM) in preventing and reducing the crime index by using GIS applications

Precision agriculture is implemented with a goal to apply sufficient treatments at the right place in the right time with the purpose to provide low-input, high efficiency and sustainable agricultural production. In precision agriculture, automation and robotics have become one of the main frameworks which focusing on minimizing environmental impact and simultaneously maximizing agricultural produce. The application of automation and robotics in precision agriculture is essentially implemented for precise farm management by using modern technologies. In the past decades, a significant amount of research has focused on the applications of mobile robot for agricultural operations such as planting, inspection, spraying and harvesting. This paper reviews the recent applications of automation and robotics in agriculture in the past five years. In this paper, the recent implementations are divided into four categories which indicates different operations executed for planting management starting from a seed until the product is ready to be harvested. Towards the end of this paper, several challenges and suggestions are described to indicate the opportunities and improvements that can be made in designing an efficient autonomous and robotics system for agricultural applications. Based on the conducted review, different operations have different challenges thus require diverse solutions to solve the specific operational problem. Therefore, the development process of an efficient autonomous agricultural robotic system must consider all possibilities and challenges in different types of agricultural operation to minimize system errors during future implementation. In addition, the development cost needs to be fully considered to ensure that the farmers will be able to invest their capital as a consumer. Therefore, it will become highly possible for the autonomous agricultural robotic system to be widely implemented throughout the world in the future
