Penyeludupan Dadah oleh Warga Asing: Kajian Terhadap Modus Operandi, Jenis-Jenis Dadah dan Impak ke atas Keselamatan Malaysia

Fenomena penyeludupan dadah oleh warga asing ke Malaysia dewasa ini semakin mencemaskan dan angka menunjukkan peningkatan. Di dada akhbar saban hari memaparkan pelbagai modus operandi dan jenis-jenis dadah yang diseludup masuk ke negara kita. Tujuan kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk mencari jalan penyelesaian terhadap masalah penyeludupan dadah oleh warga asing ini ke Malaysia. Dalam kajian ini, kaedah temubual digunakan dengan mengemukakan soalan-soalan yang releven dengan penyeludupan dadah oleh warga asing ke Malaysia.Seramai lima puluh responden terlibat yang terdiri daripada kalangan pegawai dan anggota Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Narkotik (JSJN) Ibu Pejabat Polis DiRaja Malaysia di Bukit Aman yang berpengalaman luas dalam bidang yang dikaji. JSJN merupakan nadi utama dalam usaha pembenterasan dadah di negara ini. Hasil kajian ini mendapati penyeludup dadah dari rantau Asia Tenggara iaitu Thailand mendominasi negara lain dalam aktiviti penyeludupan dadah diikuti oleh Myanmar, Indonesia, Singapura dan Filipina. Manakala bagi rantau Timur Tengah pula, warga negara Iran merupakan penyeludup dadah yang paling ramai terlibat dalam aktiviti ini. Sementara itu, dari benua Afrika pula, Nigeria adalah merupakan negara yang paling ramai rakyatnya terlibat menyeludup dadah ke Malaysia. Di samping, itu negara-negara lain di dunia ini juga tidak ketinggalan tetapi jumlahnya adalah masih terkawal. Dalam kajian ini juga mendapati jenis dadah yang paling banyak diseludup ke Malaysia ialah jenis Syabu, Heroin dan Ganja.Pelbagai cadangan diperolehi hasil daripada kajian yang telah dijalankan ini dan pengkaji telah merumuskan kepada beberapa cadangan yang releven yang difikirkan boleh digunapakai oleh Agensi Penguatkuasa Malaysaia mahupun negara asing lain dalam usaha membenteras aktiviti penyeludupan dadah oleh warga asing ini. Antaranya ialah mengeratkan kerjasama dengan agensi dadah luar negara, menagani kemasukan kurier di pintu masuk negara, mengkaji semula pemberian visa on arrival, memperketatkan syarat visa pelajar asing, menukar pegawai penguatkuasa di pintu masuk negara secara berskala dan membina tembok antara Thailand dan Kelantan.Oleh yang demikian dari cadangan-cadangan yang dikemukakan ini diharapkan dapat mengambil langkah-langkah pencegahan yang lebih kepada proaktif oleh agensi pelaksanaa serta pengubal dasar negara berkaitan permasalahan dadah.Oleh demikian, diharapkan sekurang-kurangnya dapat mengekang serta melumpuhkan kegiatan penyeludupan dadah ke Malaysia agar hasrat kerajaan Malaysia “Tahun Malaysia Bebas Dadah 2015” dapat dicapai sepenuhnya

Simultaneous removal of CO2 and H2S using MEA solution in a packed column absorber for biogas upgrading

Biogas production and utilization is an emerging alternative energy technology that has gained importance since the price of oil and gas has increased steadily over the last two decades. Biogas primarily consists of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with smaller amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3). For many applications the quality of biogas has to be improved. The main parameters that may require removal in upgrading systems are CO2 and H2S. This work presents the study of simultaneous absorption of CO2 and H2S by Monoethanolamine (MEA) solution in a packed column. Simulated biogas containing 40% CO2 and 60% N2 and biogas generated from an anaerobic digestion plant were used as feed gas streams. The effects of gas flow rate, L/G ratio and absorbent concentration were investigated. The performance of the system was found to vary with process parameters. Increasing L/G ratio and MEA concentration causes the system efficiency to increase whereas increasing gas flow rate results in lower efficiency. An operating condition of L/G ratio of 83.3 ml/L, gas flow rate of 3 L/min and MEA concentration of 3 mol/L was found to remove more than 99.5% of CO2 and H2S from biogas. The volumetric overall mass-transfer coefficient (KGav) for CO2 removal initially increases with increasing gas flow rate up to a certain value beyond which the coefficient becomes essentially constant. The KGav also increases with increasing L/G ratio throughout the range tested in this study

The objectives of this research were 1) to synthesize model using project-based learning with participatory action research and authentic assessment and 2) to assess learning model using projectbased learning with participatory action research and authentic assessment. The research methodology included of 2 procedures: 1) synthesize model using project-based learning with participatory action research and authentic assessment and 2) assess the suitability of learning model using focus group the synthesized. The research tool is a evaluation form using by 11 experts was selected by purposive sampling. The result showed that the suitability of the model is at highest level (= 4.52, S.D. = 0.12) which indicates that this learning model can be applied in teaching and learning appropriately

The purposes of this research were 1) to analyze the factors that involved with the dropout of undergraduate students 2) to propose a model for predicting the dropout of undergraduate synthesize 3) to compare the performance of 3 different classification techniques, including Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Naive algorithms. The data was collected from the undergraduate student’s registration database of Ubon Ratchathani Rajabhat University during the academic years from 2015 to 2017. The dataset has 11 attributes and 13,729 records. The data were analyzed using the Information theory selection method. The results showed that 1) there are 8 factors that influencing student’s dropout 2) Those factors were used to build models with the different techniques, Moreover, the cross-validation with 10 folds method was used to evaluate the best prediction accuracy of each technique. 3) the result suggested that the Naive Bayes model has the best performance among all techniques. It has the average accuracy of 93.58 %, which are higher than Decision tree and K-Nearest Neighbors which have the average accuracy of 93.52 % and 87.95 %, accordingly. The findings also indicated that students’ decision to dropout was significantly influenced by the student loan, major of study, grade point average, and the occupation of their parents

The purposes of this research were to study and analyze the factors that affect the dropout of undergraduate students at Ubon Ratchathani Rajabhat University using exploratory factor analysis technique. Data were collected from 280 samples between the academic year of 2015 and 2017. The research instrument was undergraduate students’ dropout questionnaires. The statistics used to analyze data comprising of percentage, mean, standard deviation, and exploratory factor analysis. The findings revealed that the factors that involved with the dropout of the students were divided into 5 parts. The first is institutional factor, which is composed of 13 variables that affect the dropout at 53.14%. The second is personal factor, which is composed of 14 variables that affect the dropout at 6.95%.
