Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial actmties of barringtonia racemosa leaves against selected bacteria / Nur Azwani Awari
No full textBarringtonia racemosa or "Putat Kampung" was known to show various types of
biological activities such as analgesic, antitumor and antimicrobial activities. B.
racemosa has several secondary. metabolites which included the diterpenes,
triterpenoids, flavonoids, steroids and saponins. Chemical-based medicines mainly
give unwanted side effects to the consumers. The microbial resistance towards
these antibiotics also keep increasing. Therefore, the search for new potential
effective plants to fight pathogenic microorganisms was timely to do. This study
was carried out to determine the phytochemical compound in B. racemosa's
methanol and hexane leaves extract, to identify the antimicrobial activities of B.
racemosa leaves extract against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative
bacteria and to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The
bacteria used were Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella
pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study, the antimicrobial
activities of methanol and hexane extracts of B. racemosa were determined using
disc diffusion and MIC tests. In phytochemical screening, alkaloids, flavonoids,
tannins, terpenoids and saponins compounds were examined. 400 mg/ml, 200
mg/ml, 100 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml concentrations were used in determining the
inhibition zones in disc diffusion method while 100 mg/ml, 50 mg/ml, 25 mg/ml
and 12.5 mg/ml concentrations were used in MIC test. The results showed the
presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids and saponins in methanol
extract while in hexane only tannins was present. For disc diffusion, the methanol
extract showed the highest antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa at 400
mg/ml concentration while for hexane extract, there was no antimicrobial activity
were detected against all bacteria tested. The concentration at 12.5 mg/ml was
determined as the MIC for methanol extract. As a conclusion, B. racemosa has a
promising high potential as an antibacterial agent and be able to replace the
existing chemical-based product

Furthermore, the analysis also shows Hungary and Romania has a relationship with oil price but there is no significant result due to the more significant on other macroeconomic variable. These results further our understanding of the interaction between oil prices and share prices and should be of use to investors, regulator, managers, and policy maker
Enhancement of corrosion inhibition efficiency of SUS304 in acidic coconut husk extract in the presence of halide ion / Nur Izzatul Azwani Shariffuddin
No full textCorrosion is the consequence of unprotected stainless-steel exposure to a corrosive medium, resulting in uncontrolled chemical reactions that cause degradation. In this research, coconut husk as plant extract was investigated to inhibit corrosion of SUS304 in hydrochloric acid solution with the presence of halide ion by weight loss method. The coconut husk extract (CHE) contains phytochemical compounds such as lignin that can inhibit and reduce the corrosion effect. Moreover, the coconut husk possessed functional groups such as O-H, C-H, C=O, C=C and others that been identified via FTIR analysis. The results indicated that the inhibitory impact followed the sequence Cl-< Br-<I-. Furthermore, 1.5 g/L CHE with I- inhibitor exhibited excellent corrosion inhibition efficiency, 97.89%. Optical analysis showed the corrosive effect on stainless steel surface was reduced due to the use of halides in the corrosion inhibitors. This research proved that the addition of halide enhanced the CHE as an environmentally beneficial corrosion inhibitor which has the potential to be used in industrial applications
Critical Success Factors (CSF) for ERP : Hospital University Science Malaysia (HUSM) / Azwani Awang
No full textThis research project involves an investigation and identification of critical success factors (CSF) in the ERP system exists in Hospital University Science Malaysia (HUSM). The environment of HUSM is divided into two, which are the hospital environment and the university environment. This research is mostly focusing on the university environment. This research is done based on an extensive literature review done recently. From the extensive literature review, 20 unique CSF in the model were identified. However none of these factors focused specifically on the system in HUSM. The ERP model developed is divided into 4 factors for consideration, which are strategic factors, the organizational context, tactical factors, and technological context. It was found that interviewed discussed 16 of the 29 factors identified from literature, and also addressing 4 new factors that were not identified earlier in the literature. These new factors concerned competitive edge, service for students, knowledge management and system ownership. It was also found that although 5 of the factors were addressed, some of the factors were addressed more frequently than others during the interviews. This research gave an important insight into the implementation school of IS while adding theory and knowledge with a focus on ERP implementation within a university environment (livari 1991). Therefore it is hoped that future ERP implementations can draw upon and learn from this research project. The author calls for a further investigation into the relationships between the different factors found to contribute to the possibility of a successful ERP implementation in a university environment and a future comparison between different ERP implementations in other university sites and the differences in the CSF's that might exist
Food handler knowledge, attitude and practice in school canteen / Nur Lyana Amira Zainal Azlan & Nurul Azwani Aladin
No full textThis research is about food handler knowledge, attitudes and practice at school canteen. The purpose of this study is to determine the food handler knowledge, attitudes and practices at the school canteen and to identify the barrier among food handler in school canteen in implementing knowledge, attitudes and practices. Food handler is someone who is very important in determining the safety of food. Food handlers should received the training in food safety to increase their knowledge. Educational effort and with supportive manager have a great potential to improve food handlers knowledge, attitudes and practices. Close cooperation between Ministry of Health, the Ministry of education and local government also is needed to ensure that the food handler are being trained. Nowadays, many cases of food borne illness occur in the institutional foodservice industry especially in school. Food poisoning cases among student increase each year.. All this cases happened, because of the barrier that occurred among food handler. They cannot avoid this barrier because of the culture and habit among them. This study was used secondary data where the information obtain was already documented, analysed and gather with other people. The information was get from the previous journal, UiTM Online Library, EzAccess, Science Direct, Google Scholar and reading sources such as books and dictionary
Paddy leaf disease recognition system using image processing techniques and support vector machine / Hayatun Syamila Mamat, Nur Azwani Zaini and Suhaila Abd Halim … [et al.]
No full textPaddy is a crucial agroculture sector since rice is the staple food for the majority of the world's population. However, the production of paddy is slower and less productive since many factors have affected the growth of the paddy. The existence of disease in paddy component affects the quality of rice produced. Hence, the recognition of the disease at the beginning stage is crucial as the initial approach for prevention purposes. In this study, a system is developed to detect the paddy leaf disease such as bacterial leaf blight, brown spot and leaf smut. All the processes involved are implemented and compiled using MATLAB R2020a. A set of 105 image data with disease is converted to binary image using thresholding. 6 features from all the data are extracted and divided to testing and training set before the classification process. A cubic support vector machine is used for the classification process. Lastly, accuracy, precision, and misclassification for each disease are calculated for performance evaluation. Results show that the average performance of the diseases on accuracy, precision, and misclassification are 88.57%, 82.97%, and 11.43% respectively. The use of the processes act as assistance to the paddy farmer to identify the existence of the paddy leaf disease. This could improve the quality of the paddy produced by reducing the process of manual disease checking

No full textStudy on stingless bee honey stability for toothpaste production
No full textMeliponini, a family of stingless bees is formed of several different species such as Melipona, Scaptotrigona, and Trigona. The Trigona species was known as the ‘Kelulut’ in Malaysia which is very useful in medically and therapeutically. ‘Kelulut’ has many compositions that give many benefits to human health such as vitamins and minerals that act as energy sources for human body, rich in probiotic bacteria that promote the health of the immune system, rich in phenolic compounds and active non-peroxide activity for antibacterial activity. Another important component of stingless bee honey is propolis. A chemical component of propolis of stingless bee honey plays a major role in treating human diseases especially for teeth, because it can avoid the formation of dental plaque and caries. Therefore, the toothpaste made of stingless bee honey is formulated in order to study the stability of honey for toothpaste production. The toothpaste formulation were analyse by pH, viscosity, cleaning ability and foaming ability. During the evaluation studies all the formulations were found to have PH, good cleaning ability, good foaming ability and viscosity characteristics. Finding from this work is vital for preserving the content of stingless bee honey during toothpaste making and may improve the quality of product made of stingless bee honey in the future which in turn may be beneficial to commercialize the stingless bee honey
