The research methods used include the knowledge acquisition techniques, data analysis and model development process. The study will focus on six main local authorities in Johore to capture the knowledge from the experts on the selection process. It is believe that the propose framework will provide an even more structured and transparence approach and assist in formulating guidelines for clients in contractor selection for construction projects

Youth political dependency in social media and its influence on the Kajang state assembly in Selangor

This research paper discusses the influence of political socialization dependency in social media, especially among the youth that may cause changes in their political culture, especially in Kajang State Assembly (DUN Kajang), Selangor. The internet political campaigns can be seen since the 12th general election (GE-12) when it managed to influence the voters and led to the failure of the Barisan Nasional (BN) to retain their over 50 years of majority of two-thirds of parliamentary seats. This development has been linked to the critical attitude taken by the youth towards the Federal Government due to their over-dependence to political information in social media which is believed to be dominated by the pro-opposition. Thus, the main objective of the study is to examine the relationship between political socialization dependency in social media and political culture change among the urban youth; while analysing in detail which demographic factors that may influence it. Cluster random sampling method was used involving 432 respondents in DUN Kajang. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS v23) has been used for descriptive statistics analysis such as frequency, percentage and mean score, along with Pearson correlation, linear regression and ANOVA analysis particularly in determining differences and identifying relationship between the variables. In general, the findings show that youth political dependency in social media for political purposes has negative, but weak and statistically non-significant relationship with political culture change. However, ethnic factor has been proven to significantly influence the political culture change. Variables such as political socialization dependency in social media and political culture change are basically correlated to each other. Hence, the next step for future research is to further compare the effects of political socialization dependency in social media among the urban and rural youths, so that accurate generalisation can be deduced

A reliability based consistent fuzzy preference relations for risk assessment in oil and gas industry

In decision making, linguistic variables tend to be complex to handle but they make more sense than classical fuzzy numbers. Fuzziness is not sufficient enough to deal with information and degree of reliability of information is critical. Z-numbers is proposed to model the uncertainty produced by human judgment when eliciting information. Therefore, the implementation of z-numbers is taken into consideration, where it has more authority to describe the knowledge of human being and extensively used in the uncertain information development. This issue has motivated the authors to propose fuzzy multi criteria decision making methodology using z-numbers. The proposed methodology is demonstrated the capability to handle knowledge of human being and uncertain information for risk assessment in oil and gas industry. This assessment is due to periodic basis, which will give insights from the operational until the strategic level of decision making process that is capable of dealing with uncertainty in human judgment. The consistent fuzzy preference relations is developed to calculate the preference-weights of the criteria related based on the derived network structure and to resolve conflicts arising from differences in information and opinions provided by the decision makers. The proposed methodology is constructed without losing the generality of the consistent fuzzy preference relations under fuzzy environment
