Antibacterial activity of five selected fruit’s peels in Kuala Pilah / Nik Nurul Aini Che Isa

A research was carried out on five selected fruit’s peels namely watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), honey dew (Cucumis melo l.), dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus), papaya (Carica papaya) and banana (Musa acuminata) that were obtained from agro market Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan by determining the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Salmonella species. Three methods were used in order to analyse the antibacterial activity from these plants extract which were disc diffusion, minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) and time kill study. Based on disc diffusion results, the highest and smallest inhibition zone recorded were 16±0.10 mm and 6±0.00 mm respectively. Two fruit’s peels extract for each bacteria that obtained the highest inhibition zone were chosen in order to proceed with MIC which were papaya and watermelon extracts for the test against Escherichia coli while papaya and banana extracts for the test against Salmonella. For MIC, the least concentration of extract that showed less turbidity was at 25 mg/mL of papaya extract against Salmonella. As for time kill study, the papaya extract actively killed the bacteria at 8 hours. The results obtained provide the evidence that the five selected fruit’s peels especially papaya can be exploited more on its antibacterial potential as a source of antibacterial drug to be used in medicinal field in future

The Proximate and Ultimate Composition of Pulverised Coconut Shell

Biomass is gaining traction as a renewable energy source as they play a major role in global green transition. Authors believe that coconut shell has a huge potential comparable to wood and sawdust in burning appliances. However, the use of coconut shell in combustion industry still limited and unconventional due to limited of studied and uncommonly practiced. Hence, the analysis of coconut shell on its properties is a must as well as to highlight the good side of coconut shell as a fuel. The coconut shell residues were collected, dried, purified,  crushed and grinded to obtain in pulverised form. Then, the sample of pulverised coconut shell was undergo the proximate and ultimate analysis based on standard needs (ASTM E871, E872 and D1102). The results obtained were compared to other types of fuel. From the comparison findings, coconut shell has a huge potential to be utilize as fuel due to its low moisture content, low ash content, higher heating value and has sustainably sourced in Malaysia.

Emerging Trends in Sustainable Entrepreneurial Behavior: Bibliometric Data Insights

The present study explores the current trends in sustainable entrepreneurial behavior to contribute fundamental knowledge for future academic research in the dynamic field of sustainable entrepreneurship. This study employs a bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database to identify significant changes and emerging topics in academic discourse about the selected keywords. By employing a systematic approach, one can attain a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and establish a solid foundation for subsequent research. The analysis comprises a total of 666 articles obtained from Scopus. This study utilizes methodological tools like Microsoft Excel, Harzing’s Publish or Perish program, and VOS viewer. These tools were used to quantify and evaluate citation frequencies. This method enables the assessment of the academic output and influence exerted by document type, evolution of published studies, subject area, and prominent keywords. Nevertheless, there are several constraints associated with this study, including the omission of articles published after 2022 and a specific emphasis on English-language publications from 1991 to 2022. Notwithstanding these limitations, there has been a substantial and continuous academic emphasis on the study of sustainable entrepreneurial behavior. Future research should investigate sustainable behavior within the context of social entrepreneurship.

Growth Of Alxga1-Xn Thin Films On Silicon Using Sol-Gel Spin Coating Technique

Group-III nitrides such as aluminum nitride (AlN) and aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) have potential applications for ultraviolet light emitting devices and high power devices. Nowadays, sophisticated and expensive growth techniques are used to synthesize these thin films. Thus, an alternative method known as sol-gel spin coating method which is relatively cheap and simple as well as less explored was used to grow AlN and AlGaN thin films. In this work, the growth and characterization of AlN thin films on silicon (Si) substrate by sol-gel spin coating method under various nitridation parameters such as nitridation temperatures, nitridation durations, and ammonia (NH3) gas flow rates were investigated. For different nitridation temperatures, it was found that the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of AlN(002) diffraction peak of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the E2(high) peak of Raman decreased, as the nitridation temperature increases from 1100 to 1150°C, which indicates the improvement of AlN crystal quality. The FWHM of both XRD and Raman increases when the nitridation temperature increased to 1200°C. This implied the degradation of AlN crystal. Moreover, the field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) image of sample nitridated at 1150°C showed a smooth and uniform surface with slightly bigger and densely packed grains as compared with that nitridated at 1100°C. As for nitridation durations, XRD showed the improvement of crystalline quality of AlN with increasing nitridation duration from 45 to 60 min
