This paper analyses publication and citation patterns in the Malaysian Journal of Computer Science(MJCS) from 1996-2006. The articles in MJCS are mostly written by Malaysian academics, with only limited inputs from international sources. Comparisons are made with the companion Malaysian Journal of Library and Information Science in terms of the type, number of references, length and numbers of authors for individual papers. Searches of Google Scholar showed that 53 MJCS articles attracted a total of 86 citations, of which 43 were self-citations

Feasibility study on utilization of palm fibre waste into fired clay brick

Malaysia is the second largest of palm oil producer after Indonesia, which contribute to 50 % of palm oil production. With this demand, the increasing of palm oil plantation over the years has led to the large production of agricultural waste, for example palm fibre waste. This study investigates different percentages of palm fibre (0 %, 1 %, 5 % and 10 %) to be incorporated into fired clay brick. Manufactured bricks were fired at 1 °C/min heating rate up to 1050 °C. The effects of manufacture bricks on the physical and mechanical properties of manufactured brick were also determined. All brick samples were tested due to the physical and mechanical properties which include dry density, firing shrinkage, initial rate of suction (IRS), water absorption, porosity and compressive strength. Findings show that increasing palm fibre waste affected the properties of brick, which decreased their density, besides increased firing shrinkage, IRS, water absorption, porosity and compressive strength. However, all the manufactured brick still followed the requirement

Characterization of LUSI Mud as Geopolymer Raw Material

The mud of mud volcano samples were collected from an eruption site named ‘LUSI’ (Lumpur “mud” –Sidoarjo), East Java, Indonesia for characterization. Analysis showed that, the major constituents of mud are SiO2 and Al2O3 which are higher than those in fly ash. The particle of mud has a flake-shaped particle and the overall particle size is dominated by particles between 2.5μm – 25.0μm. The results of XRD shows that mud of mud volcano have a characteristic of structurally disordered compounds, and a set of peaks corresponding to minor crystalline phases such as quartz, feldspars, and kaolinite. FTIR adsorption bands of the raw material of mud have the chemical bonding between bands 1-5

Penelitian ini judulnya pengaruh kredit simpan pinjam terhadap peningkatan pendapatan anggota koperasi pada koperasi berkat cabang panakkukang Kota Makassar. Variabel dalam penelitian ini ada dua yaitvariabel kredit koperasi sebagai variabel bebas (X), dan variabel pendapatan anggota koperasi sebagai variabel terikat (Y). Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah angket. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah teknik analisis regresi linier sederhana. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa variabel kredit koperasi nilai sig 0.013 nilai sig lebih kecil dari nilai probabilitas 0,05 atau nilai 0,013 < 0.05 maka Ha diterima dan H0 ditolak. Variabel kredit koperasi mempunyai thitung yakni 4,307 dengan ttabel = 1,943. Jadi thitung > ttabel (4,307 > 1,943), dari hasil analisis tersebut dapat dikutahi bahwa variabel kredit koperasi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pendapatan anggota koperasi Simpan Pinjam Berkat Cab.

The Effectiveness of Using Poetry in Developing English Vocabulary, Pronunciation and Motivation of EFL Palestinian Students

This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of using poetry in developing English vocabulary, pronunciation and motivation of EFL Palestinian students. The researcher adopted the quantitative method to collect the required data. The researcher used a questionnaire for both students and teachers to examine their attitudes towards using poetry in the language classroom. The participants of the study were both teachers and students from Hebron. The sample of study consisted of 73 female Tenth grade students and 214 English language teachers. One school has been chosen to form the experimental group. The analysis of the post-test revealed that the experimental group has significantly outperformed the control group in both vocabulary and pronunciation competences when they read poetry. Likewise, the results of the questionnaires showed that both teachers and students have positive attitudes towards using poetry in the language classroom as a means for teaching English language. In short, poetry has positive effect on developing the English vocabulary, pronunciation and increasing students’ motivation

Spatial and topology feature extraction on batik pattern recognition: a review

Abstract. Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage that has been recognized by UNESCO as an international cultural heritage on October 2, 2009. Patterns of batik produce geometric shapes unique, the number and name of the batik patterns make it difficult to recognize each motif. The objective classification of batik is split image into classes according to the pattern motif motive so easy to recognize in accordance with its feature. Batik can be classified based on the shape of the motive, namely geometric motifs, geometric motifs and motifs non specific. Spatial information is an important aspect of image processing such as computer vision and recognition structure / pattern in the context of modelling and resolution of the uncertainty caused by the ambiguity in the low-level features. Shortcomings inherent in combining two colours and spatial features are not adaptive pattern recognition process of the region across multiple images and histogram matching is not appropriate to capture the colours on the image content. This study discussed a model of spatial features and feature combinations topology with the aim to improve the validation batik image pattern recognition so that the level of the pattern recognition motif batik image could be better. Some of the features that have been used include colour features and spatial features. In addition, this paper discusses the possibility of combining the features in pattern recognition. This paper proposes a combination of features that will be able to improve the validation of image pattern recognition of batik

Kkn-ppm Sebagai Akselerator Pemanfaatan Potensi Sumberdaya Alam Desa

Desa dikenal sebagai sebuah komunitas yang diatur dalam lingkup administratif kewilayahan. Desa terkebelakang dan tertinggal diakibatkan oleh wilayah yang terpencil dan terisolir, kebanyakan berada pada dataran tinggi atau pegunungan. Kategori ini merupakan kategori Desa Salo Dua, Kecamatan Maiwa, Kabupaten Enrekang yang menjadi lokasi pelaksanaan KKN-PPM Universitas Islam Makassar. Persamalah-permaslahan yang dihadapi masyarakat Desa Salo Dua antara lain lahan sawah didominasi oleh lahan tadah hujan sehingga produksi tanaman pangan utamanya padi belum optimal, terdapat lahan terlantar yang cukup luas utamanya yang tidak termanfaatkan oleh warga masyarakat, pemeliharaan ternak yang masih tradisional, limbah ternak dan limbah peranian belum dimanfaatkan untuk memproduksi produk-produk ekonomis seperti pupuk organik dan biogas serta pembuatan gula merah dilakukan dengan teknologi manual sederhana. Tujuan KKN-PPM ini adalah meningkatkan kapasitas masyarakat dalam memanfaatkan sumberdaya alam untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraannya. Kegiatan-kegiatan mahasiswa KKN-PPM yang dilaksanakan antara lain peningkatan produksi, efisiensi, peningkatan partisipasi, perbaikan system dan peningkatan swadana dan swadaya masyarakat. Kegiatan tersebut dilakukan dengan motode pelatihan in-situ maupun sekolah lapang, seperti peningkatan produksi dengan pemanfaatan lahan kering, introduksi teknologi pengolahan gula aren, introduksi teknologi inseminasi buatan terhadap ternak sapi, pembuatan instalasi biogas
