Root system architecture of paddy in potassium acquisition / Muhammad Nur Amin Mohd Jailani
Full text linkPotassium (K) is an essential nutrient for plant growth. However, there are only little information about the effects of potassium on plant root architecture available. The research was conducted under in-vitro tissue culture technique to observe the influence or effect of different K levels on paddy root system architecture (RSA) and the differences in length of seminal root (SR) and number of lateral (LR) and crown roots (CR) in paddy. Four treatments with different concentrations of potassium (K) fertilizer (Muriate of Potash) with 5 replications were used. The four treatments are categorized into control, 0, 0.01g and 0.1g levels of fertilizer. After fourteen days of germination period, the image of RSA was taken to compare the overall architecture. The seminal root length was measured, and the number of lateral and crown root was recorded to analyse the differences between different amounts of Potassium. The outcome showed that the number of crown root decreases as the amount of potassium increase. Although the number of lateral root shows no huge significant between different amounts of Potassium, the highest number of LR were recorded at the 0.1g treatment. The highest measurement of SR was observed in 0g of K. However, the treatment with 0.1g of K showed only slight different in length of SR in 0.1g treatment

An enhancement of TanDEM-X digital elevation model [DEM] using GNSS levelling data / Muhammad Nur Amin Azhan
Full text linkDigital Elevation Model (DEM) become a common method of earth surface modelling. DEM defined as a digital representation of the surface elevation concerning to specific reference datum and one of the simplest types of topography representation. It has been widely used for several purposes and studies to get the best analysis and representation of the earth’s surface. The last two decades have been prolific in the development of global or near-global DEM derived from satellite platforms. Compare to the conventional method which has several disadvantages such as tedious, time-consuming, and prone to human error, the current technology of global remote sensing acquisition is worth using. The most recent addition to the global remote sensing DEM family is TanDEM-X that has been certified as the most accurate global DEM production. TanDEM-X provides many possibilities for scientific exploration because the distance between satellites is variable and the satellite is very versatile themselves. It includes several purposes of investigation such as land use changing, environmental studies, topographic studies, and remote sensing imaging rectification. However, there are some exceptions and disadvantages of using remote sensing technology for generating the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Thus, the aim of this study is to enhance the accuracy of the TanDEM-X DEM by using GNSS levelling data. It involves some computation and also several procedures. To achieve the aim, the objectives of this study are comprised of two (2) which are: 1) to determine the accuracy of TanDEM-X DEM and no 2) to improve the accuracy of TanDEM-X DEM by using a parametric model. Several important parts will be determined in this study such as the instrument used, an area covered, a total number of GNSS levelling points, the distribution of GNSS levelling points, the software will be used, and the method of data analysis. This study will help the user to get know the accuracy of the TanDEM-X Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and to improve the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the TanDEM-X by using another option and method for further application of DEM, especially in UiTM Perlis
Velit outdoor final camp / Muhammad Nur Amin Salleh and Shahrir Fitri Shahrulzaman
No full textThe Outdoor Recreation Skills and Management course (SMG161), which is entirely focused on teaching and learning principles to produce high-caliber students, employs this program as a practical syllabus activity in the final evaluation. The framework of this program places an emphasis on techniques and skills for carrying out outdoor training or leisure activities, which is an educational concept extremely beneficial for human growth. The implementation of this program will give students the chance to expand their knowledge of outdoor recreational activities and make sure they have the necessary experience, abilities, and training. This is crucial because the students will eventually work in this field, either as part of their careers or as part of their industrial training. Practical outdoor recreation is defined as any sort of leisure time spent in a setting other than a classroom. This program concentrates on a variety of outdoor recreational activities, including kayaking, orienteering, navigation, trekking, living in nature, tying, and knotting, camping crafts, and rope activities. It is hoped that a program like this can promote students' high fighting spirit, integration, communication, and motivation

Exploring the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality: insights from Indonesia university students / Muhammad Nur Amin Salleh, Nur Dalilah Dahlan and Muhammad Wafi A. Rahman
No full textPhysical inactivity and poor sleep quality are growing public health concerns, particularly among university students [1]. This study examines the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality among Faculty of Sports and Health Education (FPOK) students at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia [2]. By assessing activity levels, sleep quality, and gender differences, the research aims to provide insights into lifestyle behaviors affecting student well-being and academic performance, emphasizing the need for targeted health interventions [3]. This study employed a stratified sampling technique, selecting 341 FPOK students from four academic programs at UPI Bandung. Physical activity levels were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), categorizing participants into high, moderate, or low activity levels. Sleep quality was measured using the 28-item Sleep Quality Scale (SQS). Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires, ensuring a representative sample for analysis
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
