Mariam Jafri Vs. Maryam Jafri
No full textMariam Jafri Vs. Maryam Jafri (2019), single screen, HD video, 9:11 minutes.
The starting point for the video Mariam Jafri Vs. Maryam Jafri is an image of my sculpture, Anxiety, that has been turned into a stock photo for licensing on the Getty Images website, without my prior knowledge or permission. Getty Images is the largest stock photo agency in the world. Getty took the photograph at Frieze Art Fair in London in October 2017. The voiceover traces the work’s trajectory from a readymade sculpture for sale at an art fair to a stock photo for licensing online and finally, to a video commissioned by a Kunstahalle, a space meant to guarantee the autonomy of art. The work reflects upon the role of originality, artist labor and copyright in our culture of sampling and remixing. The video’s title references the caption accompanying the photograph which misspells my name. The title also references an earlier work I made in 2012, called Getty Vs. Ghana which examined the unauthorized copyrighting of African independence day photographs by multinational stock photo agencies, including Getty Images and Corbis. Co-commissioned by TAXISPALAIS Kunsthalle Tirol and Contemporary Art Gallery of Vancouver.

UEM Edgenta Propel Berhad / Aida Aqila Jafri
No full textAssalamualaikum w.b.t. My name is Aida Aqila Binti Jafri. I am from the Faculty of Civil Engineering UiTM Pasir Gudang. The main reason engineering students need to do Industrial Training (IT) is so we are well prepared for a graduate job in their chosen field. It is a chance for us to put what we have learned at university to work in the kind of real-life situations we will face when we start our career.
First of all, this report is about my industrial training that I have been going through for two month. The place where I having my industrial training is at UEM Edgenta Propel Berhad. I choose this place as my location for industrial training is because I was attracted with their projects that has been completed when I searched the company for industrial training. The reason I choose to do my internship locally because I believe that I will gain a lot of experiences which I have yet to explore whether it is related with my course or anything that related to real life as an engineer.
This internship is a great experience for me to learn and improve as well as to develop new sets skills.
Nevertheless, my experience having an industrial training at the UEM Edgenta Propel Berhad really teach me about working condition and the working attitude in the
organization itself. This report consist of four main chapters. In this report, I will tell about my company background which is for me is a very basic thing to have in a report.
This report also consists of organization chart, vision and mission of the company. All, about the company is in the chapter one while in the chapter two consists of weekly
summary based on my logbook that I have to write it every day during my industrial training. In chapter three, it is about a technical report. In that chapter, I tell about
working construction in site and others. Last but not least, in the chapter four is about the conclusion of my report, which is about what do I get from undergo through the
industrial training. That is all about my report that I can share about. I hope this information can really taught you a little bit about working area in civil engineerin
Design and Analysis of MEMS/MST Based Radio Frequency Switches
No full textIn contrast to solid-state switches,
Radio Frequency switches based on
MEMS / MST contain moving and
contacting surfaces. Therefore, the
design and analysis of such switches
involves the study of multiple domains
(which may or may not be
coupled) such as electrostatic, mechanical,
fluidic, electromagnetic,
etc. This complexity provides a
formidable challenge for any general-
purpose modeling and analysis
solver. A solution technique that
couples boundary element analysis
for the electrostatic domain, finite
element analysis for the mechanical
domain, and method-of-moments
based analysis for the electromagnetic
domain may be more appropriate
as it can provide accurate results
at much faster speed compared
to conventional finite element techniques
to solve all domains
ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF DRYOPTERIS NIGROPALEACEA PLANT POWDER AGAINST FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM AND ITS EFFECT ON MORPHOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ATTRIBUTES OF TOMATO UNDER POT CONDITIONS
No full textFungal pathogens in crops are being controlled by using synthetic fungicides, but all these fungicides have adverse effects. Herein, the antifungal activity of Dryopteris nigropaleacea (Dn.) and its allelopathy was investigated first time by soil amendment in pots against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) in terms of morpho-biochemical attributes at conidial densities of Fol 1, 2 and 3 (1×107, 2×107, and 3×107 CFU/mL). Morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic analysis of fungal culture isolate (FI 3005) confirmed that our isolate resembled Fol with 98% similarity index with MW497420 F. oxysporum. High concentrations of plant powder of D. nigropaleacea were found to be inhibitory in nature. Incorporation of Dn 1 concentration (0.025%) of D. nigropaleacea was found to be the most feasible concentration as it resulted in an increase in morphological and biochemical parameters of tomato plants by decreasing the disease incidence (DI) and disease severity (DS) by 60 and 65.2%, respectively, and by improving antioxidants like superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT). Area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) was also reduced by 50% for both DI and DS in Dn 1 treated plants, when compared with Fol 3, after 80 days of inoculation
Electromechanical and electromagnetic analyses of two and three-plate voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) with micromachined tunable capacitors
No full textThis work presents the simulation-based electromechanical and electromagnetic analyses of two-plate and three-plate CMOS voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). These oscillators, described in, use electromechanically tunable capacitors fabricated using the MUMPs process and integrated inductors. Numerical models for each capacitor design were constructed using appropriate dimensions and material properties. The effects of process-induced stresses and electrostatic fringing fields were incorporated in the design analyses of the capacitors. Coupled electromechanical analyses were performed to measure the behavior of the tunable capacitors as a function of the applied voltages. The two-plate capacitor has a nominal capacitance of 2.05 pF, is tunable to 3.08 pF, and has a Q-factor of 20 at 1 GHz and 11.6 at 2 GHz. The three-plate capacitor has a nominal capacitance of 4.0 pF, is tunable to 7.4 pF, and has a Q-factor of 15.4 at 1 GHz and 7.1 at 2 GHz. The electromagnetic analyses were performed using the Generalized Transverse Resonance-Diffraction (GTRD) method, a 3D integral equation approach well suited for quasi-planar structures involving thick conductors and dielectric discontinuities. Structures of this type usually prove to be challenging for standard 3D techniques (e.g. Finite Elements, Finite Differences, etc.) owing to their critical aspect ratio, while being ill-suited for the so-called 2.5 techniques, in which conductor thickness and dielectric discontinuities are hardly accounted for. The combination of electromechanical and electromagnetic simulations presented in this paper allows for complete analysis and optimization of RF MEMS devices to be performed at the simulation stage
Karex Industries Sdn. Bhd. / Ams Maisarah Jafri
No full textKarex Industries Sdn Bhd is where my six-month internship journey began, where I gained learning opportunities and many new experiences. Since I am a final year undergraduate student, having a great experience through my internship can help me prepare for an actual working environment when entering the workforce after graduation. Karex Berhad is the largest condom manufacturer in the world in the industry of sexual health and healthcare products, that was established in 1988. Karex Industries Sdn Bhd was one of the Karex Berhad Family in Pontian Besar, Johor. My tasks and responsibilities as an intern in the human resource department include doing daily office administration work, keeping stock of uniforms, shoes, hair nets, gloves, and masks, updating training records in the database, assisting HR Deputy Manager in registering new workers for Daya Kerjaya Programme and in charge in handling the casual workers. Apart from that, I also have developed a SWOT analysis that consists of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats for Karex Industries Sdn Bhd. For the strengths of Karex Industries Sdn Bhd, I have developed three ideas: strong brand name recognition, a strong management team and a variety of products innovation. On the other hand, for the weaknesses, I have come up with a high-rate turnover among production workers and traditional documentation culture. Then, the huge condom market size and the pervasive presence of E-commerce are opportunities that Karex should take advantage of it. At the same time, high pressure from competitors and strict enforcement of laws in Malaysia are threats that might impact Karex Industries Sdn Bhd. I will also provide recommendations for each SWOT analysis element to help the company strive in the future

Substance P Regulates <i>I</i> <sub>h</sub> via a NK-1 Receptor in Vagal Sensory Neurons of the Ferret
No full text Jafri, M. Samir and Daniel Weinreich. Substance P regulates I h via a NK-1 receptor in vagal sensory neurons of the ferret. J. Neurophysiol. 79: 769–777, 1998. Substance P (SP) hyperpolarizes ∼80% of ferret vagal sensory neurons (nodose ganglion neurons) via NK-1 receptor-mediated activation of a potassium current ( I K). A depolarizing current activated by membrane hyperpolarization could minimize the SP-induced hyperpolarization. Such a current exists in 65% of the nodose neurons ( n = 264). In this study, we examine this current and how it can interact with SP-induced membrane hyperpolarizations. This slowly developing, noninactivating inward current, designated I h, was activated maximally at about −120 mV and had a reversal potential value of −23 ± 4.4 mV ( n = 4). The time course of activation followed voltage-dependent, monoexponential kinetics. Steady-state activation curves derived from tail current analysis were well fit by a Boltzmann equation yielding a half-activation potential ( V 1/2) of−77 ± 1.5 mV and a k s value of 18 ± 0.5 ( n = 8). In the presence of 1 mM cesium, the current was completely abolished. These parameters are consistent with those derived for I h in other neurons. Substance P (200 nM) reduced the magnitude of I h elicited by membrane hyperpolarizations to about −110 mV but did not affect the magnitude of I h elicited by hyperpolarizations to more negative potentials. Tail current analysis revealed that this effect was the result of a SP-induced shift of the I h activation curve to more negative membrane potentials. The V 1/2 value for I h was shifted by −20 ± 1.4 mV in the presence of SP with no change in k s (18 ± 0.7; n = 5). The SP effect on I h, like its effect on I K, was blocked reversibly by 10 nM CP99,994, a NK-1 antagonist, and was mimicked by the NK-1 agonist Ac-[Arg6, Sar9, Met(O2)11]SP(6-11) (ASMSP; 200 nM). I h was not affected by NK-2 or NK-3 selective agonists ( n = 4 for each) nor was the effect of SP on I h reduced by an NK-2 antagonist ( n = 4). These results show that SP activates a NK-1 receptor coupled to the I h channel. Thus NK-1 receptor activation in ferret vagal afferents not only leads to membrane hyperpolarization but it also can enhance synergistically this inhibitory effect by decreasing I h. </jats:p
Case Study : Belacan Madu Enterprise Company / Fatin Afifah Huda Jafri
No full textBased on what students have learned about technology entrepreneurship, this analysis was conducted to get an understanding of how to implement technology solutions in real life. As a statistic student, involving in the case study by witnessing a real business operation is very important to pin point the challenges facing by the company and to find opportunity to improve the operation by using the current technology. The making of Shrimp Paste was selected due to this processing industry has a high potential to be commercialized since most of the Malay cuisine using shrimp paste as the ingredient to get a better taste. The research has been done based on some related articles about the processing industry before the real-life interview and in deep research was done on the shrimp paste processing industry.
The full-length interview has been conducted with the owner of Belacan Madu Enterprise, Puan Che Saudah Binti Hamzah to gather more information about the shrimp paste processing industry. There is several information were gathered from the interview such as the business background, the product design, services and the current technology used by this company. In addition, I get more understanding on the current marketing strategy and challenges they are facing which can be improvised using current technology to improve the productivity.
We were able to acknowledge the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the company through SWOT analysis. In the SWOT analysis, we also found out the problems facing by Belacan Madu Enterprise. Due to lack of the latest technologies used in their work, their main weakness is the quality of their service and has several competitors that offer variety of shrimp paste. Other than that, they have problems with their fragile packaging which is easily torn apart and does not use the latest technology in their company. In addition, the challenge for the company that might affect the productivity and continuous supply of the shrimp paste is climate change. This is because during raining season, the process of shrimp paste needs to be stopped due to they unable to dry the shrimp under the sun
