Assessment on the Development and Coastal Erosion along the Middle Coastline of Terengganu

Realizing the importance of knowing and taking care of coastal area, the coastal erosion becomes the major topic since 1980s because it gives major impact to population who live nearby the Malaysian coastline, economy, socio-economy, habitat, and flora and fauna. The study of coastal erosion is important because if the particular area encounter severe coastal erosion problem, thus the immediate action should be recommended to the authority by proposing appropriate solution. Due to that, author has interested to do research on this process which entitled as "Assessment on the Development and Coastal Erosion along the Middle Coastline of Terengganu". More specifically, the area covered is from Kampung Merabang Panjang, Batu Rakit until Kampung Jambu Bongkok, Marang. This report describes the coastal erosion problems that motivate this research. It elaborates the background of the study and the methodology in conducting the investigation. Eventually the report presents the findings and results achieve

A study on the cause of job stress among employees in Human Resource Department of Bank Rakyat / Nathira Hidzir Pauzi

The study is about the cause of job stress among employees in Human Resource Department of Bank Rakyat. The objectives of this study are to investigate the relationship between work overload, career progression, and long working hours as the cause of job stress. The research was carried out at the Human Resource Department of Bank Rakyat at Jalan Tangsi. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data using the SPSS version 17.0. Correlation analyses were conducted to test the relationship between job stress with work overload, career progression, and long working hours; whereas descriptive analysis was conducted to analyze demographic characteristics of respondents. The findings showed that all three factors have significant and positive relationship with job stress. Findings of this study also resulted in the strong relationship between work overload and job stress, career progression and job stress, and moderate relationship between long working hours and job stress. However, the finding shows that work overload have the strongest relationship with job stress

'Oh Tuhan, saya juara dunia'

This project is an analysis of the changing characteristics of river flows in the Munster Blackwater catchment. The portion of the Blackwater catchment above the river flow gauge at Kilavullen was the focus of this study. This is amongst the oldest continuous flow stations in the country with continuous flow data available from 1955 to the present day. Indeed, it can be said that prior to the 1950’s Ireland did not possess a formal continuous flow gauging network, which inhibits the examination of long term trends in Irish river flows. To examine the long-term characteristics of flow at the Kilavullen gauge, the 54 years of flow data that are available are insufficient and a method of extending the flow record at the site was required. Fortunately, organised precipitation and temperature measurements in Ireland date back further than their river flow counterparts. Within this study digital and historical paper based precipitation and temperature records from Met Éireann were compiled for the area in and around the Kilavullen catchment extending back to 1926. This data was quality controlled and where necessary was used to synthesise historical values of potential evapotranspiration before making it fit for purpose for hydrological modelling. This historical data was then used as inputs to the HYSIM and IHACRES lumped conceptual rainfall-runoff models and used to reconstruct flows (hindcast) at the Kilavullen gauge from 1926 to 2009. This hindcast effectively extended the record at Kilavullen from 54 to 84 years (representing a 55% increase in the period of record). Rather than relying blindly on the rainfall-runoff modelling to reconstruct historic flows, a database of historic floods in the catchment was used to validate the hindcasted flows. Tests for gradual trend in the data show statistically significant persistent positive trends in Annual temperatures, rainfall and flows within the catchment. Evidence of trend in spring flows was found to be the overall driving factor of trends in annual flows. Overall results of the trend analysis on the reconstructed flows general shows that in over the last 84 years, floods in winter months are becoming more common, and that floods in summer months are less evident

Digital Terrain Modelling With Total Station for Certain Engineering Purposes

Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is a representation of an earth surface in the threedimensional form. The need to study DTM is to improve its accuracy and efficiency. There are three types ofDTM which are contour lines, grid model and triangulated irregular network (TIN) model which each one has its own characteristics depending on the purposes of the DTM. Total station is often used in determining terrain data for the DTM as it is always practicable (depending upon weather condition) and easier to use except it requires more labour. For this project, DTM is produced based on the selected study area and the generated DTM will be used to simulate cut and fill and certain hydrology simulation. Volume of cut-and-fill is needed to be calculated for the proposed project. To generate DTM, terrain data is acquired through survey using Total Station. The data is used to produce the terrain model using TIN method and calculate the cut-and-fill volume. The model is analysed by comparing the actual terrain with the generated DTM. DTM can represent the terrain as it can describe features very well with introduction ofbreaklines. The cut and fill volume can be calculated and simulated by using the DTM and the simulation of hydrologic flow can be determined by using the DTM. ii

Mediating Effect Of Subcontractor Bullying On Factors Influencing Intention To Quit

Workplace bullying is gradually being identified as a serious problem in the work environment. Acknowledging this problem, a number of studies has been conducted to overcome this problem. However, the previous studies were focussing on different fields and industries. Only a few studies were focussing on workplace bullying in a construction project. However, studies on workplace bullying in construction projects remain scarce, particularly from the subcontractors’ perspectives. There are three objectives in this study. First, to examine the relationship of bullying factors (main contractors’ leadership, work organisation and job design and construction culture) and bullying among the subcontractors (workbased bullying and physical-based bullying) in construction projects. Second, to analyse the relationship between bullying factors (main contractors’ leadership, work organisation and work design and construction culture) and bullying among the subcontractors (work-based bullying and physical-based bullying) towards the subcontractors’ intention to quit from the construction projects. Third, to examine the relationship of bullying mediation among the subcontractors (work-based bullying and physical-based bullying) and bullying factors (main contractor leadership, work organisation and job design and construction culture) and the intention to quit. A questionnaire survey was administered to collect data among the contractors G6 and G7 (n=210) across Peninsular Malaysia. For the data analysis, Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used by using the Smart PLS software
