Structure design and analysis of GRP Payang boat / Muhammad Azri Faiz Roslan
No full textThe initial goal of the project was to design and analyse the structure of a GRP Payang boat. The Payang boat is a traditional wood-built boat used by fisherman. It's a boat that's been designed to fit the contour of its own body. The Payang boat was constructed using Glass Reinforced Plastic instead of wood in this project (GRP). Nonetheless, completing this project flawlessly poses numerous problems. That is due to the design of the boat frame structure, the high level of craftsmanship required, and the common usage of wood in boat construction. However, this challenge can be handled and the project's goals can be met. One of its goals is for the boat's design structure to boost its strength. Aside from that, it can successfully construct a good boat structure and ensure that the boat is stable and safe for passengers. As a result, there are phases to building a product that must be followed in order to achieve the ideal product. First and foremost, boat builders must study and learn about the boats that must be created so that they can design them using precise measurements. They can use software like PolyCad or Rhino to design the boat. They must then assess the boat's strength in order to ensure its safety. The builder will then be able to effectively design and construct the boat structure. The boat design structure will eventually be manufactured effectively. As a result of the anticipated outcome, the boat's strength can be increased by the use of GRP material and proper boat structure, resulting in a better Payang boat than previously
LPG IOT MEASUREMENT DEVICE WITH DATA ANALYTICS
No full textLPG is one of the important sources of energy for many homes and business in Malaysia. LPG is typically used as fuel in cooking equipment. For LPG owners, it is important for them to keep track of their LPG usage to ensure that their LPG does not run out when they are using it. Besides, it is also beneficial for the owners if they are notified when their LPG almost runs out.
Thus, the proposed project is to develop an IoT device to measure the LPG level and an application that can notify the owners when their LPG is running out. Moreover, the owners can check their LPG usage daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. With this proposed project, it helps the LPG owners to plan on when to replace their LPG
Impacts of internal audit on the financial performance of commercial banks in Malaysia
No full textIt has been widely accepted that an internal audit is a simple administrative function that
involves reviewing documents, calculating assets, and reporting to the Board of Directors,
Management, or External Auditors. Due to a lack of personnel and management support, as
well as inadequate training and development, Malaysia suffers from significant Internal
Audit deficiencies. Yet there hasn't been an in-depth examination of the above concerns with
a focus on the fundamental causes of successful internal auditing, notably in commercial
banks. Therefore, the current study examines the impacts of internal audits on the financial
performance of commercial banks in Malaysia. In this regard, a descriptive research approach
will be employed to address the research questions. (Absrract by author
The bindingness of mazhab in Islamic banking contracts in Malaysia
No full textAn issue of differing views among scholars from various mazhab on any unresolved fiqh issue poses confusion in the public. It also happens in dealing with Islamic banking contracts. There is a need for the final word that determines the right view of mazhab, especially for the law institutions which aimed at providing solutions to problems. Researchers have conducted an analysis on legal materials regulating Islamic banking institutions in Malaysia to see how this problem is addressed. This study has two objectives, namely: to study the position of reference to mazhab under Malaysia legislations governing Islamic banking in Malaysia and to study the
application of reference to mazhab in Shariah Resolution of Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) pertaining to Islamic Banking contract. The researcher found general provision in legislation regulating Islamic
banking institutions in Malaysia on the prevailing practices of mazhab. The power to interpret the Islamic law lies with the Shariah Advisory Council. The researcher also conducted an analysis on Shariah Resolutions, founded that Shariah Advisory
Council in determining the necessity of a contract has followed the fundamental basis of the proposal Usul al-Fiqh by referring to the Holy Quran and Sunnah, ijmak, and then referring to the view of the scholar of the mazhab. The Shariah Advisory Council has opennes by examining all the views of the four mazhab muktabar. It is found that there is no tendency to prioritize any mazhab as opposed to other mazhab because there is no difference in the views between scholars of mazhab in banking contracts analyzed by the author. In conclusion, the law regulating Islamic banking is general and can be challenged by in court. However, the ultimate authority are given to the Shariah Advisory Council to control this problem from becoming more critical
High-density concrete: exploring ferro boron effects in neutron and gamma radiation shielding
No full textAimed to reduce neutron and gamma radiation, this study examined the shielding capability of high-density concretes mixed with Ferro boron in different proportions (25%, 50%, and 75%) replacing granite aggregate, denoted as 25FB, 50FB, and 75FB, respectively, with control specimen designated as CC. The concretes performance was evaluated in terms of mechanical and radiation shielding properties. Cement content, water-cement ratio, and maximum nominal size of aggregates were kept as constant. In general, workability and density reduced and enhanced, respectively, with Ferro boron increment. The increment in concrete strength was achieved with 25FB and 50FB, while 75FB mix experienced a strength reduction due to the segregation problem. Ferro boron concrete showed better radiation shielding, where 25FB, 50FB, and 75FB shielded transmission of neutron and gamma 2, 2.57, and 3.27 times as well as 1.35, 1.72, and 2.92 times, respectively, better than CC. Hence, these findings conclusively show that the increase in the Ferro boron content has progressively increased the shielding properties of the concrete, with notable caution against high inclusion of Ferro boron due to a counter-productive outcome in strength

No full textSleep Quality among Older Persons in Institutions
No full textAbstractThe objective of this study is to identify sleep quality and factors that influence sleep quality amongst older persons in institutions. The participants from this cross-sectional study were selected using a convenience sampling strategy from eight government-funded elderly institutions in Malaysia. The participants are 331 elderly aged 60 years and above. The results indicated that the sleep quality among elderly in institutions is poor, and pain emerged as the main predictor of sleep quality for all groups (normal, mild cognitive impairment and dementia). Dementia has two other main predictors which are role limitation due to emotional problems and emotional well-being
Impact of Regulated Short Sale: Study on Malaysia Stocks’ Liquidity and Volatility
No full textAbstractShort sale has been mostly associated with decrease in the equity market's volatility, and increase in the equity market's liquidity, this paper examines the volatility and the liquidity of the 55 stocks that are eligible for regulated short sale (RSS) before and after the reintroduction of RSS. First, this study utilizes both the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, and the GARCH (1,1) model in order to analyze the impact of the reintroduction of RSS on the 55 stocks’ volatility. Second, this study also utilizes the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and the bid-ask spread to determine whether the reintroduction of RSS has any significant impact on the 55 stocks liquidity. The results show that the volatility and the liquidity of the 55 stocks significantly increase after the reintroduction of RSS. In addition, through the GARCH (1,1) model, it was found that the market is more efficient after the reintroduction of RSS due to increase in the impact of recent news and decrease in the impact old news on the 55 stocks’ volatility
First report of pathogenic <i>Leptospira</i> spp. isolated from urine and kidneys of naturally infected cats
No full textLeptospirosis is one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases and can infect both humans and animals worldwide. Healthy cat, as a potential source of exposure to humans, are likely underestimated owing to the lack of overt clinical signs associated with Leptospira spp. infection in this species. The aim of the study was to determine the exposure, shedding, and carrier status of leptospires in shelter cats in Malaysia by using serological, molecular, and bacteriological methods. For this study, 82 healthy cats from two shelters were sampled. The blood, urine, and kidneys were tested using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and bacterial culture. On the basis of serological, molecular, and/or culture techniques, the total detection of leptospiral infection was 29.3% (n = 24/82). Through culture techniques, 16.7% (n = 4/24) of the cats that tested positive were carriers with positive kidney cultures, and one cat was culture positive for both urine and kidney. The Leptospira spp. isolates were identified as pathogenic L. interrogans serovar Bataviae through serological and molecular methods. Through serological techniques, 87.5% (n = 21/24) had positive antibody titers (100–1600) and most of the Bataviae serogroup (n = 19/21). Using PCR, 16.7% (n = 4/24) of cats were shown to have pathogenic Leptospira spp. DNA in their urine. Furthermore, three out of four culture positive cats were serology negative. The present study reports the first retrieval of pathogenic leptospires from urine and kidneys obtained from naturally infected cats. The results provide evidence of the potential role of naturally infected cats in the transmission of leptospires. Additionally, leptospiral infection occurs sub-clinically in cats. The culture isolation provides evidence that healthy cats could be reservoirs of leptospiral infection, and this information may promote the development of disease prevention strategies for the cat population.</div
