    Get PDF
    The changes in the media landscape, the evolution of convergence, the explosion of the web, animation and games including social media as well as their implications for business and communication environments. This course is designed to illustrate the historical development of new media. It introduces and explains the notion of new media and defines the concepts of convergence, web, animation and games. The course discusses about present the challenges that the emergence of new media pose to traditional media and the way they raised to such challenges. The focus is the how the new media alters the meaning of geographic distance, volume of communication

Throughout the course, student will explore and experience each stage in Multimedia project development, and basic skill in the creation of the four Multimedia components. Upon completion of this course, student will be able to develop their own Multimedia project and able to understand the various types of Multimedia projects and delivery systems available in the current practices

    COM257: Ethics and intelectual property rights / Faculty of Communication and Media Studies

    Get PDF
    This course addresses two important components in the study of media: ethics and intellectual property rights. Information technology has profound social consequences, both good and bad. Because it has permeated every aspect of human life, it is imperative that all quarters in society take heed of the social and ethical impacts of information technology. The media, be it print, electronic or social media, have posed various ethical problems, dilemmas, controversies and violations, thus compelling everyone - from private citizens to policy makers, media professionals, leaders of business and industry and the academe – to take an interest in media and the ethical implications. This course will introduce students to media ethical principles and issues relating to concepts like freedom, truth, honesty and privacy. Closely related to media ethics is the concern for intellectual property rights which have seen various violations in this era of information explosion. Four main ethical issues that usually arise with respect to information technology are privacy, accuracy, property and access. Understanding intellectual property issues, for example, digital piracy and illicit copying, will enable students to use the media more responsibly and ethically

    COM258: Critical thinking / Faculty of Communication and Media Studies

    Get PDF
    Creative Thinking studies a process which is indispensable to all educated persons--the process by which we develop and support our beliefs and evaluate the strength of arguments made by others in real-life situations

    CHM676: Organometallic Chemistry / Faculty of Applied Sciences

    Get PDF
    The course provides students the knowledge of the chemistry of compounds containing metal-carbon bonds in terms of the bonding of the organic group to metals via the lone pair of electrons as well as the ?-electrons (olefin complexes). The application of the 18-electron rule in such cases are discussed. The characterization of organometallic through infrared and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy are studied. The reactions of organometallic compounds and their uses of some organometallic complexes namely as catalysts are also discussed

    A cross-sectional survey of relationship between osteoporosis knowledge, perception and calcium intake among university students / Sh Syaza Nisrina Mumtaz Wan Jemudin and Siti Soraya Mohd Elias

    Get PDF
    Practicing healthy lifestyles and behaviours, such as physical exercise, proper dietary with calcium and vitamin D consumption have been demonstrated to be highly connected with a reduced risk of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by poor bone density which might increase risk of fractures. Osteoporosis not only affected the elderly but also young people. This study aimed to determine the relationship between osteoporosis knowledge, perception and calcium intake among university students. A total of 202 students from Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam participated in this cross-sectional survey. A self-administered online questionnaire was used as an instrument which consisted of the demographic, Osteoporosis Knowledge Tools (OKT), Osteoporosis Health Beliefs Scale (OHBS), and calcium intake questions. Results showed 91.6% of participants had a satisfactory level of osteoporosis knowledge, and 73.8% of participants had a moderate perception of osteoporosis. Only 12.9% of participants had enough daily calcium intake. The results also demonstrated that there was no relationship between the total knowledge score and perception of osteoporosis (r =.037, p =0.598), and between the total knowledge score and total calcium intake (r = .117, p = 0.099). While the perception of osteoporosis was correlated positively with calcium intake (r =.193, p =0.006). These present findings may explain that the participants may have a good knowledge and beliefs toward osteoporosis but did not translate into good dietary habits in terms of daily calcium intake as part of healthy lifestyle practices and osteoporosis preventive measures

    Probability of failure for fixed offshore structures determination: an analysis of a braced monopod and 4-legged platforms with respect to industry standards / Ezanizam Mat Soom ... [et al.]

    Get PDF
    The structural integrity is susceptible to a combination of statistical and engineering design uncertainties that may remain flexible as long as the structure can successfully manage the encountered load. There are many methods for determining the probability of failure (POF) in the oil and gas sector, but they all have particular constraints. Therefore, this study is a quantitative risk assessment to establish a more reliable method for calculating the POF value. This study chose and evaluated a sample of a braced monopod and 4 legged offshore structures for global non-linear analysis. The most reliable form of distribution was predetermined, and the appropriate integral equation was applied and computed based on the load and strength model conditions. The result of the testing of stress-strength interference for 12 directions and for 8 directions of wave impact in POF indicated that the platform remained intact and reliable compared to the L2 exposure level for the reliability target of POF recommended by ISO 19902, ISO 19901, and PETRONAS. Furthermore, this established that the applied integral equation provided a high degree of confidence in calculating the new POF. This newly created approach will enable the structural engineer to outline action items as part of the organisation’s risk management process
