Performance of Palm Oil Clinker Lightweight Aggregate Concrete Comprising Spent Garnet as Fine Aggregate Replacement

Data Availability: The data used to support the findings of this study are included within the article.Copyright © 2022 Nur Farah Aziera Jamaludin et al. The increase in building activity as a result of population expansion has resulted in an overexploitation of aggregate, with disastrous environmental consequences. Simultaneously, the disposal of spent garnet by the shipbuilding industry and palm oil clinker by palm oil mills harms the environment and needs a greater amount of landfill space. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the influence of spent garnet as a fine aggregate substitute on the fresh, mechanical, and durability properties of palm oil clinker concrete. Concrete mixes were created using various percentages of spent garnet as a fine aggregate substitute, including 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. The workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, water absorption, and acid resistance of the water cured concrete were all determined. It was determined that using 20% spent garnet increased the compressive strength of lightweight concrete. The positive filler effect of spent garnet resulted in a densely packed internal structure of concrete, allowing it to have the lowest percentage of water absorption. The same mixtures exhibited the least mass change and strength reduction when exposed to acid solution. The results established that ecologically friendly concrete may be manufactured by including considerable volumes of waste from the shipbuilding and palm oil sectors.University Malaysia Pahang (UMP) (Research Grant RDU190342 and RDU213306)

Core competencies of the halal executive from the practitioners’ perspective

Malaysia strives to accelerate the growth of its halal industry and attain its vision of being a global halal centre for innovation, production, and commerce. In attaining the vision, human competency and capability building through competent halal executives is important. It is in fact, one of the success factors in supporting comprehensive and future development of the Malaysian halal industry. Prior research, however, has revealed issues regarding halal executives’ competency. To fill the gap, 16 semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with halal executives to identify the core competencies that were most related to their job performance. The identification of core competencies could aid in the development of guidelines that can be used to inform halal policymakers. These identified core competencies could also inform the industry about the recruitment of halal executives, their placement, training, and succession planning

Quinine, an old anti-malarial drug in a modern world: role in the treatment of malaria

Quinine remains an important anti-malarial drug almost 400 years after its effectiveness was first documented. However, its continued use is challenged by its poor tolerability, poor compliance with complex dosing regimens, and the availability of more efficacious anti-malarial drugs. This article reviews the historical role of quinine, considers its current usage and provides insight into its appropriate future use in the treatment of malaria. In light of recent research findings intravenous artesunate should be the first-line drug for severe malaria, with quinine as an alternative. The role of rectal quinine as pre-referral treatment for severe malaria has not been fully explored, but it remains a promising intervention. In pregnancy, quinine continues to play a critical role in the management of malaria, especially in the first trimester, and it will remain a mainstay of treatment until safer alternatives become available. For uncomplicated malaria, artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) offers a better option than quinine though the difficulty of maintaining a steady supply of ACT in resource-limited settings renders the rapid withdrawal of quinine for uncomplicated malaria cases risky. The best approach would be to identify solutions to ACT stock-outs, maintain quinine in case of ACT stock-outs, and evaluate strategies for improving quinine treatment outcomes by combining it with antibiotics. In HIV and TB infected populations, concerns about potential interactions between quinine and antiretroviral and anti-tuberculosis drugs exist, and these will need further research and pharmacovigilance

A review of current techniques for the evaluation of powder mixing

Blending a mixture of powders to a homogeneous system is a crucial step in many manufacturing processes. To achieve a high quality of the end product, powder mixtures should be made with high content uniformity. For instance, producing uniform tablets depends on the homogeneous dispersion of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), often in low level quantities, into excipients. To control the uniformity of a powder mixture, the first required step is to estimate the powder content information during blending. There are several powder homogeneity evaluation techniques which differ in accuracy, fundamental basis, cost and operating conditions. In this article, emerging techniques for the analysis of powder content and powder blend uniformity, are explained and compared. The advantages and drawbacks of all the techniques are reviewed to help the readers to select the appropriate equipment for the powder mixing evaluation. In addition, the paper highlights the recent innovative on-line measurement techniques used for the non-invasive evaluation of the mixing performance

The Influence of Leader Member Exchange and Followership on Employees Innovative Work Behavior (A Study in Universitas Gadjah Mada)

Universitas Gadjah Mada is the oldest and the largest state university in Indonesia which envisioned itself to be a world class research university. In order to be so, this organization must undergo transformational change in which innovation becomes the key for it. As an organization with 6,977 employees, the university needs to involve these employees as partner in achieving its goals, as their innovative work behavior is needed in the endeavor. Among others, the factors that affected innovative work behavior are leader � member exchange and followership. This research intended to describe how leader � member exchange and followership affect innovative work behavior of the employees in Universitas Gadjah Mada. Research was conducted in 18 faculties at Universitas Gadjah Mada in which the non academic civil servants are the population. Samples were taken using purposive sampling technique. The data collection was conducted in two stages, the pre-test and main test. Pre-test was conducted on 30 respondents of the central office, while the main test was conducted by sending out 270 questionnaires to the respondents in 18 faculties. Likert scale is used for data measurement technique. The hypotheses in this research were: leader � member exchange positively influences innovative work behavio

Predicting scoliosis in DXA scans using intermediate representations

We describe a method to automatically predict scoliosis in Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scans. We also show that in- termediate representations, which in our case are segments of body parts, help improve performance. Hence, we propose a two step process for pre- diction: (i) we learn to segment body parts via a segmentation Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which we show outperforms the noisy labels it was trained on, and (ii) we predict with a classification CNN that uses as input both the raw DXA scan and also the intermediate representation, i.e. the segmented body parts. We demonstrate that this two step process can predict scoliosis with high accuracy, and can also localize the spinal curves (i.e. geometry) without additional supervision. Furthermore, we also propose a soft score of scoliosis based on the classification CNN which correlates to the severity of scoliosis
