The extent of judicial review of administrative decision and orders of the industrial court- the effectiveness of the ouster clauses under The Trade Union Act 1959 ( revised ) 1981, and Industrial Relation Act 1967. / Mohd Amin Hasbollah
The system of delegated subordinate or subsidiary legislation has come in vogue in all democratic countries. One of the factors which contributed to the growth of delegated legislation in democratic countries is that modern country discharges multifarious functions, It also helps to discharge undue burden of the legislature and to economise the legislative time. Such a system introduces flexibility. As Wade and Phillips points out, subsidiary or delegated legislation fulfills the need of modern times "that something less cumbrous and more expeditios than an a Act of Parliment shall be available to amplify the main provisions, to meet the unforseen contingencies and to fascilitate adjustment that may be called for after the scheme has been put into operation."1 Therefore, such a system can be regarded as useful and indispensable technique of modern government
Pemerihalan Tautan Dalam Wacana Mantera
Kajian ini dijalankan dengan tujuan untuk menganalisis tautan dalam wacana mantera
etnik Kedayan Sarawak. Fokus kajian ialah 253 wacana mantera yang diperoleh
daripada 23 informan di 8 buah kampung Kedayan. Teknik persampelan tak probaliti
dan persampelan bertujuan digunakan untuk memilih 23 informan tersebut. Strategi
yang digunakan ialah persampelan rantai, iaitu seseorang unforman dikenal pasti dapat
menghasilkan mantera dilakukan secara berantai dengan cara maklumat informan
selanjutnya diketahui melalui maklumat informan yang terdahulu. Dalam kajian ini,
kerangka analisis model Halliday dan Hasan (1976) telah digunakan sebagai dasar
analisis, dm telah diterapkan dalam analisis Model Tautan Pindaan (2002) untuk
membincangkan tautan dalanl wacana mantera etnik Kedayan Sarawak.
Hasil kajian mendapati 3 jenis tautan utama, iaitu tautan perulangan, tautan kolokasi,
dan tautan penghubung ayat yang menjadi tonggak analisis model tautan, didapati
benvibawa dan berkesan mengenal pasti tautan dalam wacana mantera. Tautan
perulangan paling banyak diperoleh, diikuti tautan kolokasi, dan tautan penghubung
ayat.
Tautan perulangan terbahagi kepada 7 subjenis tautan dm dikenal pasti memang
mempunyai kekerapan ikatan tautan, iaitu paling banyak dalam tzutan perulangan
leksikal, diikuti rujukan, struktur dan makna sama, elipsis, parafrasa, paralelisme, dan
penggantian. Dalam tautan perulangan rujukan, bentuk rujukan dapat dikelompokkan
kepada rujukan ganti nama, tunjuk, dan bandingan. Tautan perulangan penggantian dan
elipsis dikelompokkan pula kepada namaan, kerjaan, dan klausaan. Tautan perulangan
parafrasa, paralelisme, dan struktur dan makna sama didapati memperlihatkan unsur
yang bertaut bertaraf frasa atau klausa, manakala tautan perulangan leksikal mempunyai
10 golongan struktur leksikal, iaitu leksikal bentuk dan makna sempurna, kata umum,
kata sinonim, kata akar, kata kerja, leksikal nama bas, leksikal adjektif, kata majmuk,
leksikal gandaan dengan bukan gandaan, dm leksikal gandaan. Sejumlah 820 mantera
terlibat dalam tautan perulangan yang juga merupakan yang tertinggi.
Bagi tautan kolokasi, penelitian tautan berjaya dilaksanakan melalui 4 subjenis tautan,
iaitu tautan kolokasi antoniman, tautan kolokasi kohipo~imant,a utan kolokasi hasil, dan
tautan kolokasi sifat. Antara 4 tautan kolokasi itu, paling banyak ikatan tautan beriaku
dalarn tautan kolokasi kohiponiman, diikuti kolokasi sifat, tautan kolokasi antoniman,
dan tautan kolokasi hasil. Keempat-empatnya mempunyai kontruk ikatan tautan yang
terdiri daripada unsur lingusitik di peringkat kata, frasa, dan klausa. Walau
bagaimanapun tautan kolokasi antoniman, kohiponiman dan sifat sangat produktif di
peringkat kata, manakala tautan kolokasi hasil produktif di peringkat klausa. Sejumlah
665 mantera terlibat dalam tautan kolokasi yang juga merupakan kedua tertinggi.
Usaha menganalisis tautan dalam wacana mantera juga dapat dilaksanakan dengan
berkesan menggunakan tautan penghubung ayat, melalui 5 subjenis tautannya. Antara 5
subjenis tautan penghubung ayat, tautan penghubung ayat tambahan paling banyak
ikatan tautan, diikuti tautan penghubung ayat sebab-musabab, waktu, tentangan, dan
tidak ada ikatan dalam tautan penghubung ayat terusan. Tautan penghubung ayat
tarnbahan didapati mendukung isyarat makna khusus penegasan, penerangan, tambahan
sebenar, persamaan, dan pilihan. Tautan penghubung ayat tentangan dengan makna
khusuc tentangan sebenar 'walaupun', manakala penghubung sebab-musabab dengan
makna khusus sebab-akibat dan sebab-bersyarat. Tautan penghubung ayat waktu pula
mendukung makna khusus urutan, perhinggaan waktu, syarat-waktu, dan waktu batasdahulu.
Ternyata penghubung bentuk kata adalah yang paling produktif dalam 4
subjenis tautan penghubung ayat tersebut.

Heat Transfer Performance of a Rotating Phase Change Material (PCM) based Thermal Energy Storage (TES)
The objective of this project is to investigate the heat transfer performance of a rotating phase change material (PCM) based thermal energy storage (TES). Paraffin wax are used as the phase change material in a horizontal cylindrical acrylic capsule while water bath as the heat transfer fluid passing through the paraffin wax in a copper tube. During charging process, the solid paraffin wax start to melt and the latent heat released being stored. The heat transferred during the natural convection only occurred at the top section of the horizontal cylindrical capsule causing it to limit the amount of heat transfer stored. By proposing to rotate the horizontal cylindrical capsule, the idea is to spread the heat transfer uniformly to the top and bottom of the cylindrical capsule. There are two objectives of this study; to develop a computational model of heat transfer in a phase change material (PCM) based thermal energy storage (TES) and to investigate and evaluate the heat transfer performance of a rotating PCM-TES design. The models for PCM-TES is developed, validated and then utilized to evaluate the key parameters that affect the heat transfer performance. The numerical predictions achieved relatively good agreement with experimental counterpart obtained from literature of the previous study. It is found that heat transfer performance of rotating thermal energy storage is better than static thermal energy storage
Using Eye Movements To Control A Wheelchair
Some people in this world suffer from physical disabilities which limit their daily
activities such as playing, walking, and communicating with other human beings. Many
attempts have been made in order to reduce the limitations by using available resources
such as the head movements, the brain activities, the eye movements and others. In this
project, we will utilize the signals generated during the movements of the eyes to
control a wheelchair. This attempt will help the people who suffer from the physical
disability of both arms and legs thus help them to do daily activities without much
supervision from other people. In the eye anatomy, two important parts are cornea and
retina. Studies indicate that the metabolic rate of the cornea and the retina are different
from each other, and this difference creates a very small voltage potential which is
called as corneoretinal potential. The corneoretinal potential is aligned with the optical
axis hence it changes with the direction of the gazes. Two pieces of electrodes will be
attached on the patient's head to detect the voltage potential between these two points.
An amplifier was designed to acquire the eye movement signals, and the signals
patterns for each type of movements are observed. A programming code was developed
based on the signals patterns to provide output controls for each type of the eye
movements. The project results show that the amplifier is capable to detect the eye
movements of left and right. However, some minor improvements need to be done in
order to detect the upward and downward eye movements
The Abda’u Ritual: Ethnographic Communication Study of Tulehu Society in the Moluccas, Indonesia
The study focuses on the emerging phenomenon of abda’u ritual at the Eid al-Adha celebration in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah. Eid al-Adha celebration by the Tulehu society in the Moluccas, Indonesia is to identify the trust and values local tradition as a form of struggle, defense and flag upholding, struggle for sacrificial animals with ideology upholding of Islamic teachings. This ritual uses the communication media of three goats to be sacrificial animals and is distributed to three the indigenous village which is contested by abda’u participants. This research employed a subjective interpretive paradigm with an ethnographic communication approach pioneered by Dell Hymes based on a symbolic interaction perspective the abda’u ritual at the Eid al-Adha celebration. The symbol of devotion to Allah is a distribution by sharing with other communities that become the glue to arouse sacrifice through the sentence Lailaha ilallah muhammadarrasulullah. The findings show that the abda’u communication ritual is formed based on awareness to preserve the procession of the sacrifice of the sacrificed animals, and the social solidarity, syiar of Islam, enforcing Islam ideological through devotion to Allah
Hak dan perlindungan pelarian Muslim Filipina menurut syariah dan undang-undang Malaysia: kajian di negeri Sabah
Migrasi pelarian Muslim Filipina ke Sabah telah direkodkan berlaku pada awal
tahun 1970-an. Sehingga kini, kewujudan mereka telah memberikan pelbagai
impak sama ada dari sudut ekonomi, politik, sosial dan keselamatan negeri
Sabah. Walaupun kewujudan mereka dominan memberikan impak negatif, namun
dari suatu sudut mereka merupakan golongan yang terdedah kepada ancaman
bahaya yang memerlukan kepada perlindungan. Oleh itu, makalah ini bertujuan
untuk menganalisis hak dan perlindungan terhadap golongan pelarian. Hak dan
perlindungan tersebut dibahaskan dari aspek undang-undang dan praktik Malaysia
serta dibandingkan dengan syariah Islam. Hak dan perlindungan yang ditumpukan
adalah hak mendapatkan perlindungan suaka, hak tidak dihantar pulang (nonrefoulement),
hak tidak didiskriminasikan dan hak pendidikan kanak-kanak pelarian.
Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode kepustakaan
melalui instrumen analisa dokumen. Dapatan menunjukkan hak dan perlindungan
golongan pelarian Filipina Muslim di Sabah masih kabur dan tidak menepati
piawaian undang-undang antarabangsa dan syariah Islam. Golongan tersebut masih berada di persimpangan dalam mendapatkan kelangsungan hidup yang lebih baik
dan terjamin. Diharapkan makalah ini dapat memberikan garis panduan kepada
penggubal dasar sesebuah negara Islam dalam berdepan dengan golongan pelarian
antarabangsa yang majoritinya melibatkan orang-orang Islam

HUKUM KELUARGA DI AFGHANISTAN
The family law on its development gets government and scholar attention in the Islamic world, included in Afghanistan. It is interesting to investigate given has been enacted the marriage law, Qanun-i Izdiwaj in 1971 in Afghanistan based on the Egyptian Family Law in 1929 and fully enforce the Maliki’s law on the women rights to file divorce in the court. In addition, the provisions of this law amended the practices prevailing locally related to marriage and divorce. Although in some cases are still bound to the Hanafi school fiqh, the family law in Afghanistan has undergone reformation in line with the modern world development. The reformation system of its family law leads to extra doctrinal reform, by way of giving new interpretation, which sometimes differ from the provisions of Hanafi’s school followed by majority of its population. The reformation material of family law undertaken in Afghanistan, is the dowry, child marriage, polygamy and divorce.
Keywords: reformation, family law, Afghanista
INTELLIGENT MODELLING OF GRADIENT FLEXIBLE PLATE STRUCTURE UTILISING HYBRID EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM
The gradient flexible plate structure has been widely used in engineering industries. However, the gradient flexible plate is susceptible to vibrational disturbances and affecting its durability and performance over time. Hence, the unwanted vibration needs to be controlled and can be accomplished by developing an accurate model. Despite that, the accurate model is hard to be obtained especially in estimating the model parameters. Thus, the research presents the development of dynamic modelling for gradient flexible plate structure (GFPS). A slanted GFPS with orientation angle of 30° and all edges clamped was developed and fabricated to represent the actual dynamics of the system. Then, data acquisition and instrumentation system were integrated to the rig to collect the input-output vibration data. The research utilised parametric system identification based on autoregressive with exogenous input (ARX) model structure. First, evolutionary algorithms, namely particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and grey wolf optimisation (GWO) were used in developing GFPS dynamic model and their performances were compared. It was discovered that GWO model outperformed PSO model. However, the computational time of GWO is slower compared to PSO. Thus, a hybrid of grey wolf and particle swarm optimisation (GWO-PSO) were proposed to further improve the system modelling. It was found out that the hybrid GWO-PSO model outperformed PSO and GWO models by achieving the lowest mean squared error, correlation up to 95 % confidence level, and good stability. The obtained GWO-PSO models which is model order 2 and model order 4 were verified by using proportional-integral-derivative (PID) based controller. Their performances were measured in terms of model robustness based on vibration suppression. The final result confirmed that model order 2 of GWO-PSO is the optimum model to represent GFPS system modelling with 71.08% vibration attenuation
