    Globally, social media is gaining popularity and redefining how people interact with one another online. Malaysian individuals, for example, are increasingly reliant on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter as well as LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, and other similar sites. Consider sentiment analysis to be a sub-category of social listening. A social media sentiment analysis has uncovered the public's current feelings on a particular topic or brand. Sentiment analysis is a technique for characterizing and capturing emotional states from unstructured text. The most important part of sentiment analysis is to evaluate a body of text to comprehend the opinion expressed by it. It usually assigns a polarity of “positive”, “negative” or “neutral”. It uses an algorithmic technique to capture people's thoughts, sentiments, and emotions by incorporating Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning technology. Sentiment analysis in Malaysia's social media is challenging to perform since posts are frequently written in a mixed language, usage of English and Malay with embedded jargon and various district dialect. The classification was performed based on Malaysia halal certification scheme for each tweet to acquire the class label's frequency value based on the sentiment analysis process's polarity results. It will demonstrate social media users' proclivity for posting and can act as a reference point for users when making decisions. An analysis of amounted 500 tweets with the hashtag #sijilhalal elicited information regarding people's feelings, preconceptions, and attitudes toward various issues related to halal certification in Malaysia. The discovery of a person's emotions concerning halal topics is visualized. Muslims' views are of importance to #sijilhalal awareness

    Agriculture is on the verge of entering the Smart Farming era, in which farming operations will become digitalized and data-driven, allowing for better decision support, smart analytics, and forecasting. Farming is the most diverse economic sector and is critical to a country's overall economic development. The Internet of Things (IoT) can potentially optimize agriculture and farming sector activities by reducing manpower through technology. Forecasts are central to most agricultural and agricultural-related operations. Smart Agriculture Data Analytics (SADA) was developed to address this issue. SADA is an embedded system with two components: data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT in SADA also assists farmers in collecting data and learning more about the appropriate soil PH scale, fertilizer dataset, air humidity, and temperature. A prototyping model is used in software development. The farmer can provide real-time feedback, request project changes, and update model specifications. SADA will help farmers understand the trend of analytics crop production, allowing them to increase yield

    Utilization of Business Analytics by SMEs In Halal Supply Chain Management Transactions

    Halal supply chain management has transformed beyond food and beverage certification. However, extant literature shows that Halal transaction management still has much to improve in terms of transaction permissibility, with the main gap in understanding Halal businesses and their transactions limited to a system that separately defines e-commerce and financial technology data into its IT business environment. This study aims to demonstrate the usefulness of managing Halal transactions and its permissibility analysis through a proposed Halal Supply Chain Management Transactions (HSCMT) model and prototype by applying a business analytic approach to integrate both e-commerce and financial technology data. The study uses literature analysis to ensure the correct structure of the integrated datasets, before modeling the transaction's permissibility and prototyping its analytics into decision-making analytics. The developed HSCMT prototype uses a payment gateway that can be embedded into a Halal SME owners' e-commerce site. This creates a holistic Halal Financial technology (FinTech) transaction permissibility dashboard, increasing the effectiveness of HSCMT for Malaysia Halal SME Owners (MHSO) by an average usability score of 83.67%. Results also indicate that the key basic mechanisms to verify transactional permissibility are the source of the transaction, the use of the transaction, transaction flow, and transaction agreement. Furthermore, its mechanisms must be mapped onto a submodule post-transformation and modeling of the transaction dataset. Further improvements in multisource data points can be further considered, as this research only focuses on local data points from one payment gateway service. This is due to restrictions in data policy when involving overseas supply chain and transaction documentation. This research utilizes available data in business through data management, optimization, mining, and visualization to measure performance and drive a company's growth. The competency of business analytics can be beneficial to Halal SMEs players because it can provide them with insights into the permissibility decision-making process

    Due to its properties of high wear, creep resistance, high stiffness and strength, Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) was developed to eliminate most metallic wear in artificial implant, which conventionally found in stainless steel, Cobalt Chromium (Co-Cr) and Titanium (Ti) alloys. UHMWPE has an ultra-high viscosity that renders continuous melt-state processes including one of the additive manufacturing processes, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) ineffective for making UHMWPE implant. Attempt to overcome this problem and adapting this material to FDM is by blending UHMWPE with other polyethylene including High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polyethylene-Glycol (PEG) which provide adequate mechanical properties for biomedical application along with the improvement in extrudability. It was demonstrated that the inclusion of 60% HDPE fraction has improved the flowability of UHMWPE in MFI test and showing adequate thermal stability in TGA

    Deriving Halal Transaction Compliance using Weighted Compliance Scorecard (WCS)

    No full text
    This study proposes a Halal transaction compliance process using Weighted Compliance Scorecard (WCS) to derive a Halal Transaction Compliance module. This study also attempts to outline the users, experts and authorities that will be implicated in its implementation. The transaction data was collected from a payment gateway provider after analyzing literature review, expert interview and central data theme to determine the variables involved in the compliance structure. The data is then aggregated and transformed before subjected to the Halal Transaction Compliance module and verified by the same group of experts. Results indicated that the proposed compliance is effective by a total average score of 4.06. However, improvements to central data theme can include investigative modules to make the variable more dynamically adaptable to real world changes. It can also include more in-depth industrial data compliance. Considerations should also be catered for international transactions and SMEs with global chains. For the purpose of this study, the user scope is limited to Malaysia Halal SME owners that use payment gateway embedded into their e-commerce website. Furthermore, the initial transaction data covers 500 of the payment gateway provider’s most active users. It is suggested that future studies involve SMEs with good permissible scores to be benchmarked, so that the range of good compliance scores are gauged. They can also study the complexity of these compliance documentation for Halal supply chain transactions. This study’s contribution lies in the enhancement of Malaysia’s Halal transaction ecosystem, as well the development of a standardized Halal Transaction Compliance Protocol and the complexities involved in its operationalization and regulation
