    Practical training is the medium for the students to apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom to be apply in the real job situation. This is to help the student to be more prepared in working environment after finish their studies. Faculty Computer and Mathematical Sciences (FSKM) still does not have any web-based system to handle or manage their practical student efficiently. They still using the manual paper-based form and student need to write their practical report in a paper based. So, the author will develop and design the student practical online application system (SPOA) by using user-cantered design (UCD) as the guideline and evaluate the usability of the system according to the user perspective. The UCD process is an iterative process which is after the SPOA system prototype been completed, the prototype will be evaluated and if there is any usability problem discover, the problem will be fixed and evaluated again until the system is ease to use. The UCD process has four phases that being used in this project which are understand user need, establish requirement, prototyping alternative designs and evaluate designs. The outcome of this project is the usability testing result and the comparison from using manual system and by using web-based automated system. Last but not least, there is only a few usability problem been discover by the usability testing participants and the participants agree that using web-based Student Practical Online Application System (SPOA) more facilitate the practical training process in the future. For future enhancement, this system can be enhanced by expending the scope and target area of the research. Instead of focusing on student from one faculty, this system can be introduce to others faculty in UiTM

    RARE PENILE KELOID AFTER CIRCUMCISION: CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW

    Objective: To report a case of keloid formation after circumcision and review the literature for similar cases to formulate possible risk factors contributing to its development as well as its treatment options. Method: a literature review was done using PubMed and Google Scholar by searching the keyword “keloid”, “penis” and “circumcision”. Additional searches were done on references from related articles. The articles are then reviewed by the author, noting for possible predisposing factors to keloid formation, along with patient demographics and method of treatments. Findings were then tabulated and analyzed using Microsoft Excel (2018). Results: Thirteen case reports on penile keloid after circumcision with a total of 16 patients were found dating from 1993 to 2017. Circumcision in four cases (25%) were complicated with infection or dehiscence. The median age during circumcision is 9 years old. Two patients (12.5%) were reported with the tendency for keloid. The ethnicity of the patients is as follows; Turkish (7 cases, 43.7%), African descent (4 cases, 25%), Chinese (3 cases, 18.75%), Indian (1 case 6.25%) and Caucasian (1 case, 6.25%). Ten (62.5%) cases were treated with a combination of excision and immediate injection of triamcinolone acetate. Others were treated with either excision alone, steroid injection alone or excision with topical steroid. Maintenance treatment includes topical steroid, intralesional injection of steroid, and silicone gel. Recurrence occurred in one patient. Conclusion: The minuscule number of published reports of keloid formation after circumcision underscores the rarity of the complication. No specific risk factors can be attributed to stratify patients who may develop keloid after circumcision. Excision followed by triamcinolone acetate injection with maintenance therapy until scar maturity is the preferred choice of treatment for penile keloid

    The purpose of this research to address objective excursion and symmetry results from a series of free gracilis muscle transfer (FGMT) cases and examine the predictive intraoperative number of vectors anchored during flap inset on outcomes. A retrospective analysis performs by data retrieved from the HUSM Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery OR Registry from January 2005 to June 2019. All patients who reported facial nerve palsy were recorded and re-evaluated. All characteristics in interest were epidemiologically tabulated and analyzed in detail. Subsequently, outcome assessment was performed to look for facial symmetry and smile excursion compared to the healthy side of the face—this study exempted by the Institutional Review Board of the Hospital of University of Sciences Malaysia. Out of 12 patients diagnosed with facial palsy, four patients underwent static facial reanimation. Eight patients underwent a dynamic facial reanimation, with 4 of them completed two stages of cross-facial nerve grafting (CFNG) and free gracilis muscle transfer (FGMT). One of the FGMTs patients had missed a follow-up. The mean age was 20 (range 11 to 30), one patient was male, and two were female. The mean duration for follow-up was 69 months. The mean duration of operating time was 8.67 hours. All operations without complication, and there was no microvascular re-exploration. Smile excursion and angle excursion at smile improved following FGMT. Association between the number of vectors anchored during flap inset to the outcome were identified. Dynamic facial reanimation using FGMT still the gold standard of treatment, which provides an excellent quantifiable improvement in oral commissure excursion and facial symmetry with smiling. The use of multivector gracilis flap was suggestive to associate with the good outcome on excursion and symmetrical of the smile

    This work raises the issue of how a community that processes rainwater as an alternative to clean water will be packaged through a documentary film. The writer as a director will see how the directing process in a documentary film. This work is carried out in the Jombang area as one of the areas that has drought problems and limited clean water stocks during the dry season. This film tells how the role of the Air Kita community in socializing the use of rainwater and also the achievements of the community after moving for almost 7 years. In the directing process, there are several stages carried out by the author to create a documentary film with observation techniques, starting from pre-production, namely researching issues both from the internet and field research, observing and discussing stages with sources, making treatment or scenario scripts and preparing shooting schedules. The production stage is taking pictures that have been planned at the pre-production stage in accordance with the concept, namely taking the activities of the Air Kita community and interviews with our water community. Other supporting data such as interviews with the environmental agency and stakeholders of our water community as another point of view about our Water Community and the post-production stage, namely editing the images and compiling them into a unified documentary film

    Penelitian ini merespon atas kebutuhan film animasi di Indonesia terutama yang mengangkat konten lokal sejarah dan kebudayaan yang dinilai kurang dalam kuantitas sehingga menimbulkan kurangnya kualitas karena kurang adanya kompetisi dalam industri animasi. Untuk memenuhi tujuan dari penelitian ini, penulis melakukan metode penelitian secara kualitatif dengan melakukan wawancara kepada Guru Besar sejarah dan pelaku animasi yang sudah menekuni bidangnya sejak lama. Selain itu dilakukan observasi terhadap beberapa film animasi untuk dipelajari secara teknis pembuatannya. Wujud akhir dari perancangan ini adalah sebuah visual storytelling yang menampilkan preview dari serial animasi yang bercerita tentang berdirinya kerajaan Majapahit dengan gaya cerita yang lebih informal, sehingga penikmatnya bukan hanya dari mereka yang ingin mengetahui sejarah, namun juga dari segi hiburan. ======================================================================================================== This research responds to the needs of animated films in Indonesia, especially with local content and cultural history which are considered less in quantity, causing a lack of quality because of the lack of competition in the animation industry. For the purposes of this study, the author conducted qualitative research methods such as an interview to Professor of history and animator from animation industry who has been in this field for a long time. In addition, the observation to several animated films to be studied in technical preparation and production. Final output of this design is a visual storytelling that shows a preview of the animated series that tells the story of the founding of the kingdom of Majapahit which style of the story is presented are more informal, so that the audiences are not only from those who wish to know the history, but also in terms of entertainment
