Strategi Koping dengan harga Diri ODHA di Yayasan Medan Plus

People living with HIV AIDS (PLWHA) not only experience problems physically or biologically, but also experience problems psychologically, socially and spiritually. The problem that often occurs in PLWHA is related to self-esteem. One way to increase the self-esteem of PLWHA is by implementing coping strategies. This study aims to determine the relationship between coping strategies and self-esteem of HIV / AIDS patients at the Medan Plus Foundation. The design of this study was a correlation analytic with a cross-sectional approach with a total population of 2152 and the sampling technique used the consecutive sampling method and identified 58 HIV / AIDS patients. Collecting research data using a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. The statistical test used was the chi-square test. The results of this study obtained coping strategies for PLWHA with the majority of emotion focused coping (62.1%) and the majority of PLHIV patients with low self-esteem (65.5%). The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant relationship between coping strategies and self-esteem of HIV / AIDS patients at Medan Plus Foundation.Orang dengan HIV AIDS (ODHA)  bukan hanya mengalami masalah secara fisikaaataubbiologis,ttetapi juga mengalami masalah secara psikis, sosialddansspiritual. Masalahiyang sering terjadi ODHA adalah terkait harga diri. Salah satu cara dalam meningkatkan harga diri ODHA adalah dengan melakukan strategi koping.

Development of Photovoltaic (PV) based Electrical Power Generation

The demand of electricity becomes higher every year and the Ninth Malaysian Plan, it is projected that the need for electricity will increase by 20% in the year 2010. Power generation system in Malaysia is centralized and is based on non-renewable fuels such as coal, diesel, oil and natural gas. The price of natural gas is currently highly volatile and faces the possibility of depletion sooner than projected. In this project, a study is carried out to determine the effectiveness of the current electricity generation, transmission and distribution system

Experimental evaluation of new pipe sleeve with weep holes for concrete leakage prevention

Mortar is a layer with high water absorption rate over concrete due to its porous structure. The mortar layer that frequently exposed to water or moisture is more likely to contain moisture in its layer. The example of area that is mostly exposed to water is the bathroom. The water infiltrated and trapped in the mortar slab in the bathroom will eventually increase the moisture content of the mortar slab and will raise many problems such as the deterioration of the building structure surface. Therefore, this study has been carried out to produce a technology to remove the trapped water in the mortar slab and to reduce the moisture content in the mortar layer. The infiltration rate of the water into the mortar slabs installed with the conventional pipe sleeve (T1), the circular weep-holes pipe sleeve (T2), the vertical weep-holes pipe sleeve (T3) and the inclined weep-holes pipe sleeve (T4) have been measured and the results show that T4 has recorded the highest reading of 7.74 ml/min compared to other pipe sleeves. Besides that, T4 has also recorded the highest water flow rate out of the mortar with 1.31 ml/min and recorded the lowest moisture content of 10.1%. Inclined weep-holes pipe sleeve was proven able to work better than other designs. Therefore, the New Pipe Sleeve (NPS) performance with inclined weep-holes designs are studied in depth by changing the weep-holes angles to 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 75° and weep-holes surface area of 6%, 8% and 10%. As a result, the weep-holes angle of 60° with 10% weep-holes surface area has recorded the highest water infiltration rate and water flow rate out of the mortar with 20.898 ml/min and 3.764 ml/min, respectively, obtaining the highest reduction of the moisture content by 3.1%. The optimum performance of the pipe sleeve with inclined weep-holes design has been proposed by using Design Expert Software and the optimum performance can be achieved with the used of the weep-holes angle of 69.55° and 10% weep-holes surface area, producing water infiltration rate of 20.4513 ml/min and water flow rate out of the mortar of 3.3795 ml/min. Therefore, application of optimise design of weep-holes has promising potential method to reduce leakage and fungi problem that normally occurred in bathroom area

Effect of extrinsic motivation toward the happiness level: a case study of plantation workers at Sime Darby Pantation Kempas Estate / Hafizuddin Hilmi Zulkifli

Extrinsic motivation is the environmental factor which internally affect the employee’s motivation. Demotivation often caused lower satisfaction productivity of employees. This research was conducted to determine the relationship between effects of extrinsic motivation towards the happiness level of plantation workers and identify the most dominant factors in extrinsic motivation that can influence the happiness level among plantation workers. A survey of 63 workers was carried out to support this study. The independent variables were salary, supervision, and communication towards the dependent variable which is happiness level among plantation workers. There were two important analysis test used: Correlation and Regression Analysis Test. Results from the correlation analysis shows salary, supervision, and communication have significant relationship towards the happiness level of plantation workers with mean of 0.543, 0.799, and 0.335 respectively. The regression analysis shows the supervision factor (β = 0.687) was the most dominant factor influenced the happiness level followed by salary (β = 0.171), and communication (β = 0.155). In conclusion, all the extrinsic motivation factors being studied influenced the happiness level among plantation workers. It was recommended for the company to restructure the communication method in working environment offered to their workers

Hardness and flexural properties of heat treated SKD61 medium carbon steel

Nowadays, medium carbon steel is widely used in engineering industry because of their balance properties. To change the mechanical properties of medium carbon steel, it needs to undergo heat treatment process. Heat treatment process is a combination of controlled heating and cooling a metal or alloy to achieve desired physical and mechanical properties. In order to modify the microstructure and desired mechanical properties, there are commonly heat treatments that often been used (annealing, normalizing, hardening and tempering). For this study, the samples are divided into two parts which are untreated and heat treated. For heat treated, the specimens were heating at 900 oC with soaking time 90 minutes and the cooled in different cooling medium which are quenched in water, inside the furnace and air. Then, the hardened specimens were tempered at two different temperatures. Rockwell Hardness test and flexural test are performed to investigate the hardness and flexural properties of the specimens and fractured surface of the specimens is observe using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The result found that the hardness and flexural properties of the specimen is higher when the specimen is quenched in water compare with others cooling medium. Besides that, the hardened steel shows brittle fractured surface which consist of transgranular cleavage. Fractured surface for untreated, annealed and tempered 500⁰C specimen shows ductile failure mode with more plasticity deformation occurred
