A legal study of the effectiveness of Poisons Act 1952 in regulating possessions of 'Ketum' offence / Mohd Hafizi Hanapi
No full textPossession of 'Ketum' is no strangers and this offence is increasing year by year. Criminals prefer to use 'Ketum' from dangerous drugs because 'Ketum' is easy to find and the price is cheaper than other dangerous drugs. Furthermore, the sentences of possession of 'Ketum' is lower than sentences to other dangerous drugs because 'Ketum' is considered as poison and listed under Poisons Act 1952; not under Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Heroin is one of the example under dangerous drugs which have same effect with 'Ketum' but it is listed under Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Hence, the offender will may repeat committing the crime because the sentence is lower and inadequate to give lessons to the offender. This research to analyses about the adequacy of Poisons Act 1952 in regulating possession of 'Ketum' and other relevant statutes that can be used to regulate possession of 'Ketum' comparing with other countries such as Thailand. End of this chapter, the author will show that, Poisons Act 1952 is inadequate in regulating possession of 'Ketum' offences

Identifying root causes and mitigation measures of construction fall accidents / Normadiana Mohammad Hanapi...[et. al.]
No full textThe construction industry is one of the most hazardous industries. It is because those who spend their working lives on construction sites have a higher probability of being killed at their workplace. Based on the statistics issued by the Social Security Organization (SOCSO) Malaysia, the number of fatality and permanent disabilities due to fall from height accidents at the construction sites is one of the highest rates as compared to other sectors. Therefore, this research intends to identify the causes and safety measures of construction fall accidents in Shah Alam construction sites because there are a lot of high rise building projects in this state. This study is carried out by doing literature review and getting feedback through questionnaires. In order to find out causes and mitigation measures of fall accidents at the construction site, this study used SPSS test such as Spearman’s Rho to analyze the data. The finding of this study indicates that “poor safety attitude and behavior of workers” are the main problems in obstructing the implementation of safety procedures and guidelines for construction sites. The responses from the survey also show that “sufficient safety training” and “equipment for working at height” are the adoptable mitigation measures to enhance the workers’ safety performance. It is believed that appointing safety officers in inspection and maintenance works and by applying risk assessment in identifying fall hazards could reduce the number of fall accidents

No full textSynthesis and characterization of sulfur-functionalized silica nanocapsules as mercury adsorbents
No full textSulfur functionalized silica nanocapsules (S-SiNC) was successfully synthesized and characterized as a potential adsorbent for industrial applications. The synthesis of S-SiNC was carried out using the mircoemulsion templating method using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as cationic surfactant, toluene as co-solvent, ammonia solution as catalyst, and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as the silica base. The S-SiNC adsorbent was characterized using Transmission Electron Microscope, Fourier Transformed Infra Red spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis. The physical and chemical properties of the SiNC changed as a result of the functionalization, hence affecting the extent of Hg(II) adsorption. The S-SiNCs were also tested in mercury ion [Hg(II)] adsorption via batch adsorption process with variation in initial Hg (II) concentration. It was found that there is a significant improvement in Hg(II) adsorption performance after being functionalized with elemental sulfur. The highest Hg(II) adsorption capacity was obtained for S-SiNC (107.875 mg/g), which significantly outperformed the blank SiNC. The experimental data obtained was found to be fitting well to the Langmuir isotherm model (R2= 0.979) compared to Freundlich isotherm model. Thus, the results demonstrated the potential application of sulfur functionalized silica nanocapsules as adsorbent in industrial applications
Production of organic acids from local raw materials.
No full textThe liquid pineapple wastes from pineapple cannery industries contain mainly sucrose, glucose, fructose and other nutrients. Lactic acid, a normal organic acid, has long been of use in the pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic and food industry. Recently, lactic acid has been considered as an important raw material for production of biodegradable lactide polymer. The objective of this project is to study the feasibility of lactic acid production from liquid pineapple waste as a substrate using Lactobacillus delbrueckii. Batch fermentation of pineapple waste was studied in a 3-litre stirred fermenter (Biostat B Model). In order to know the physical and chemical properties of liquid pineapple waste, characterisation study was carried out. During the fermentation process, 0.5 ml sample was withdrawn from the fermentation broth at regular time intervals in order to measure the variation of sugar concentration, lactic acid concentration, pH and biomass with fermentation time. The microbial cells were separated by centrifugation for dry biomass determination. The supernatant was immediately frozen for further determination of the concentrations of lactic acid, glucose, fructose and sucrose. Effects of some parameters such as temperature, pH, inoculum size, substrate concentrations and nitrogen source were studied. Mathematical modelling and kinetic parameters estimation as a function of pH and inoculum size were also studied. By using the concept of material balance, an unstructured model based on a Monod type kinetic equation for cell growth, substrate utilisation and product formation were developed. During fermentation, the concentrations of the substrate, product and cell were measured. The data were used for the estimation of kinetic parameters in the differential equation for the balance of the substrate, cell and product by computer program. To obtain the best fitting, a nonlinear regression analysis combined with a Runge-Kutta method was used. The standard deviation and standard error between the measured and calculated concentrations of lactic acid are used as statistical criterion for testing the adequacy of the model. Optimisation studies were also carried out for selected parameters in the Erlenmeyer flask containing 100 ml of production medium. CaCO3 (3% w/v) was added to control the pH in the shake flask fermentation. A fractional factorial central composite design (FFCCD) was used to determine the optimum values of the process variables such as temperature, speed, concentration of yeast extract, concentration of substrate and the time by the response surface methodology (RSM) for obtaining the maximum yield of lactic acid. The result of the second order response surface model fitting was tested for adequacy by the analysis of variance. The optimal values of tested variables for maximal lactic acid production were found to be: temperature 40°C, speed 50 rpm, yeast extract 10 g/l, sugar concentration 52.5 g/l and time 7 iv days. A techno-economic evaluation of the process understudy showed that the utilisation of pineapple waste as substrate for lactic acid production using lactobacillus delbruekii is feasible process even though its profitability is lower than molasses and wheat flour. This is due to the fact that the yield obtained from this study was only 79 % compared to industrial yield is about 97 %. Therefore, increasing the yield through continuous or fed-batch fermentation couple with immobilised cells could enhance the profitability of the process

No full textAn adaptive call admission control with bandwidth reservation for downlink LTE networks
No full textIn recent years, consumers of 4G cellular networks have increased exponentially as they discover that the service is user-friendly. Due to the large users and their frequent demands, it is necessary to use the limited network resources that guarantee the eminent standard quality of service (QoS). Call admission control (CAC) scheme has a major impact in assuring QoS for different users with various QoS requirements in 4G networks. Recently, the reservation-based scheme and bandwidth degradation schemes were proposed with the aim to provide effective use of network resources and assure QoS requirements to admitted calls. However, in spite of these several objectives, these schemes are not efficient as a result of the modeling and approximation method that starve the best effort (BE) traffic. The dynamic threshold value approach adjusts handoff call and new call based on time-varying conditions resulted in a waste of network resources, where bandwidth are reserved for handoff call, but at the network environment, there is little or no handoff calls. In this paper, we propose a novel CAC scheme to provide effective use of network resources and avoid the starvation of BE traffic. The scheme introduces an adaptive threshold value, which adjusts the network resources under heavy traffic intensity. In addition, we proposed reservation and degradation approach to admit many users when there is a limited number of bandwidth, which also achieved effective utilization of network resources. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the reservation-based scheme and bandwidth degradation schemes in terms of admitting many calls and guaranteeing QoS to all the traffic types in the network. Numerical results imitate to experimental results with insignificant differences

Studi Ilmu-ilmu al-Qur’an daam Tafsir Nusantara: Kajian Analitis-kritis terhadap Tafsir al-Furqan Karya Ahmad Hasan (1928-1950). Diskursus terhadap tafsir nusantara yang muncul sebelum kemerdekaan telah banyak ditulis para peneliti beberapa tahun belakangan melalui penelitian ilmiah mengangkat kekayaan berbasis lokal، meskipun sejauh ini “diskursus tafsir nusantara” terkesan “filologis” terhadap karya-karya ulama tafsir nusantara، namun secara global mengalami perkembangan، dan sejak abad modern seolah menemukan momentumnya di Barat Islam karena pengaruh reformisme yang lambat laun mempengaruhi dunia Timur Islam (baca: nusantara)، dan berhenti dengan pertanyaan “apakah hanya sekedar mengulang yang sudah ada/ repetitif ?”، di saat bersamaan sebenarnya telah hadir model tafsir al-Quran sebagai produk lokal yang lahir dari rahim “modernisme” dan “konservatisme” dengan mengusung corak sosial di satu sisi dan turats di sisi lain، sehingga melahirkan bentuk “tafsir lokal” yang cenderung modern atau murni tradisional، namun pembicaraannya masih “exegesis oriented” belum menyentuh tema lain seperti “ulum al-Quran” yang dalam pembacaan “modern” bisa sangat “profokatif”. Setidaknya kitab tafsir “al-Furqan” Ahmad Hasan sejak 1928 mewakili “lokal wisdom” telah memainkan peran global dalam penafsiran dengan ditemukan kajian “ulum al-Quran”- yang belum banyak diangkat dari “al-Furqan”، sebagai kitab tafsir yang muncul sebelum 1950 “al-Furqan” memiliki kekhasan dari tafsir-tafsir lainnya، penelusuran terhadap ini pun dengan pendekatan dan metode yang “historis” tetapi tidak mengsampingkan metode “kebahasaan” yang menjadi dasar memahami tafsir tersebut، dan pada akhirnya pembacaan seperti ini akan menemukan “persilangan” terkait tema-tema ulum al-Quran yang justru terlahir dari semangat produk lokal nusantara.
