Concrete compressive strength development when polyethylene terephthalate partially replaces sand / Muhammad Redza Rosman and Norishahaini Mohamed Ishak
Get PDFThe diminution of sand and waste build-ups are two problems often faced today. This research was initialised to
investigate the suitability of sand replacement with poly ethylene terephthalate (P.E.T) and also to evaluate the
strength development of concrete where sand is replaced with P.E.T.In this research, a total of 40 numbers of
100mm x100mm x 100mm concrete cubes were made for the control specimen, 10%, 20%, 30% and 50% P.E.T
replacement, half of which were for the 0.52 water/cement (w/c) ratio and the other half for 0.64w/c ratio. Two
cubes of each replacement percentages were cured at three days and the other two at 28 days. The strength
imposed at the point of failure marks their individual maximum strength, where they were recorded and
analysed

Safety and communication glasses / Muhammad Farouq Aiman Mohd Nazari and Muhammad Redza Rosman
Get PDFThis study presents the outcomes of an innovation project that focuses on the implementation of safety and communication glasses in enhancing safety and communication aspects in construction industry. The goal of this project is to explore the effectiveness and advantages of having good eye protection besides an effective communication on site. The study begins with an introduction to the significance of effective communication and the limitations of existing approaches. It then provides an overview of the safety and communication glasses, including their principles, components, and advantages. The selected methodology for this study involves 3D modelling simulations
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) inventory tag / Iqbal Nahar and Muhammad Redza Rosman
Get PDFThis research delves into the transformative potential of RFID inventory tags, aiming to revolutionise stock management systems and address persistent challenges in traditional inventory methods. Despite the existence of RFID technology for over six decades, its continued implementation remains pivotal in contemporary markets, offering a powerful solution to enhance efficiency and accuracy in stock management. Conventional inventory management techniques often struggle with slow tracking processes of incoming and outgoing stock, leading to detrimental consequences like missed sales opportunities, inaccurate inventory planning, and delays in restocking. The lack of real-time visibility in traditional systems hampers businesses’ ability to promptly monitor inventory movement and respond rapidly to fluctuations in demand or supply. To overcome these limitations, the research passionately advocates for the seamless integration of RFID electronic tags on the production line and harnessing the automation and monitoring capabilities bestowed by RFID technology. The primary objectives encompass streamlining stock checking and restocking procedures, mitigating errors in stock checking, and establishing real-time tracking mechanisms for remaining and incoming stocks
The concept of skeletal safety jacket / Nurul Syafiqah Mahmud and Muhammad Redza Rosman
Get PDFThe subject matter of innovation in safety wear for construction has been discussed over a considerable period. Current research and statistical data show that safety wear innovations in construction especially in Malaysia are lagging behind other areas in the aspects of productivity, efficiency, and health, for which lack of innovation is to be blamed. This paper intends to illustrate the present status of construction innovation on safety and health wearables and the present statistics on Musculoskeletal Disorder diseases based on a review of current literature and research. This paper also aims to raise awareness on the Musculoskeletal Disease (MSD) among manufacturing and construction workers in Malaysia and tackle the problems by doing immediate innovation to prevent cases of MSD from increasing year by year. This paper also aims to elaborate on the innovation concept of a skeletal safety jacket. A methodology has been developed to make sure that the objectives of this innovation are achieved. Literature review and desk studies have been done to collect the data
Innovation of safety gloves / Mohammad Izwan Hakimie Rohaizad and Muhammad Redza Rosman
Get PDFThe construction industry in Malaysia has risen to become the fastest growing industry in the world. As the construction industry undergoes rapid transformation, the demand for safety gloves has increased in tandem with industry growth. Safety gloves are one of the crucial Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for protecting the hands of construction workers on construction sites. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that employers in the construction industry must ensure their employees wear safety gloves when working in environments where there is a risk of hand injury. In the construction industry, safety gloves are important in protecting workers from workplace hazards. Based on the previous studies, there are currently several issues affecting the safety and comfort levels of workers in relation to safety gloves used in construction workspaces. By identifying the main issues, the current study provides an opportunity and platform to propose new innovative ideas to address the challenges. As a result, new solutions are proposed to combat the identified issues
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
