Software solution for Testing Image Processing Algorithm on Conveyor-Based Vision Systems
No full textLink to publisher's homepage at https://iopscience.iop.org/Vision systems have been used in many applications that intends to reduce the need for human operators. This is especially true for tasks that are simple but repetitive in nature, which is largely applicable to most manufacturing and agriculture’s post-harvest processes. Many such processes utilize conveyor-based systems where the objects being processed are placed
on a conveyor belt that runs through multiple processing stations. Implementing a vision system to capture images of an object that is moving usually requires setting up an imaging device to a working conveyor system. Getting a working conveyor system to be ready can take some time and consequently delay development work on the vision system itself, especially those
involving image processing algorithms. This paper proposes a software solution that can be used to expedite initial work on such systems. The solution is written in C and is therefore easily ported to any development machine. A basic image processing library has also been developed so that it does not depend on any development library or suite, which is usually huge
in size. Thus, the solution can easily be compiled and run on embedded development boards like Raspberry Pi - for a more portable solution

Analysis of labour market needs for engineers with enhanced knowledge in sustainable renewable energy solutions in the built environment in some Asian countries
No full textDespite the rapid growth in the uptake of renewable energy technologies, the educational profile and the skills gained at University level do not always comply with the practical needs of the organisations working in the field. Furthermore, even though the residential sector has very high potential in curbing its CO2 emissions worldwide thus meeting the challenging goals set out by the international agreements, such reduction has been limited so far. Within this context, the ‘Skybelt’ project, co-funded by the EU under the framework of the Erasmus + programme aims at enhancing in several Universities of Asia and Europe the engineering skills of students of all level for application of sustainable renewable energy solutions in the built environment. With the target of increasing the employability of graduates and the impact of the project, a survey on the labour market needs for specialists with enhanced knowledge and skills in the topic of the project has been conducted in the related Asian countries. Hence, relevant industries, labour market organisations and other stakeholders have been interviewed and the main results of this analysis is reported in the present paper. As first outcome of this activity, the obtained results have been considered in the selection of the modules to be improved according to a student centred study approach
Workload, job control, work relationship, and work-related stress among employees in Sungai Buloh, Malaysia / Muhamad Khalil Omar ...[et al.]
No full textIn Malaysia, by 2030, depression has been predicted to be the number one disability and is expected to decrease workplace productivity. Deputy President of Malaysian Mental Health Association, Datuk Dr Andrew Mohanraj mentioned that depression is already dominated the Malaysian workforce and this issue has become a big problem to the country since it is difficult to identify because it has hidden symptoms. The author also made a comparison between employees and entrepreneurs in SME industry. Those entrepreneurs have more commitment to work as they had to work longer hours and tend to have more work-family conflict, compared to normal employees. So, it has been confirmed that those entrepreneurs in SME industry contributed to a large part of employee turnover, poor well-being and the reduction in job’s performance.
This study was conducted to find out the impact of work-related stress on SME workers in Sungai Buloh. The objectives of the study are to identify the relationship between workload, job control, work relationships and work-related stress. This study objective also to determine which factors (workload, job control and work relationships) most influenced work-related stress
Perbezaan gaya hidup remaja bersekolah berdasarkan aliran pengajian: kajian di lima sekolah menengah sekitar Bandar Jengka / Mohd Kamal Azman … [et al.]
No full textGolongan remaja merupakan golongan yang penting dalam mana-mana masyarakat. Pembentukan mereka yang mantap amat wajar dilakukan, agar mereka menjadi insan yang berkualiti dan warga negara yang mampu berbakti. Walau bagaimanapun, golongan remaja masa kini sering ditanggapi sebagai golongan yang bermasalah serta banyak melakukan penyimpangan dari nilai agama dan batasan sosial. Golongan remaja bersekolah merupakan kelompok penting yang perlu diberikan perhatian. Memahami watak serta gaya hidup mereka merupakan pra-syarat penting ke arah menyelesaikan masalah mereka. Oleh itu, kertas kerja ini ingin membincangkan secara dekat gaya hidup remaja bersekolah di sekolah-sekolah sekitar Bandar Jengka berdasarkan perbezaan aliran pengajian. Ia melibatkan lima buah sekolah yang terdiri dari aliran agama, teknik dan kebangsaan. Data yang dikumpul dengan menggunakan soal selidik melibatkan 563 responden dianalisis dengan menggunakan program Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS versi 10). Ianya memfokuskan kepada aktiviti utama di rumah dan minat remaja yang bersekolah. Terdapat petunjuk menunjukkan perbezaan aliran pengajian persekolahan membezakan gaya hidup pelajar. Maklumat dari kajian ini begitu penting dan menarik untuk dibincangkan serta menjadi panduan untuk semua peringkat golongan untuk memanfaatkannya
