Regulation on transportation of dangerous good by sea in Malaysia: whether it conforms to international standard / Muhammad Khairil Khalid

This study, "Regulation on Transportation of Dangerous Good by Sea in Malaysia: Whether it conforms to International Standard" is completed as a fulfilment of the course of Bachelor of Legal Studies (Hons). This study mainly conducted in Shah Alam and Kuala Lumpur to look into the regulations which govern the transportation of dangerous goods in Malaysia. There were.several methods used in order to find answers and to collect facts to answer the research questions and to meet the objectives of the study. Qualitative research which is library - based was conducted to gather information and relevant data for this study. The relevant data was gathered from various text books, journals, articles and internet. The researchers have also conducted several interviews with few respective people in gaining more information such as Dr. Irwin Ooi Ui Joo, Senior Research Fellow, Malaysia Institute for Transport (MITRANS) and last but not least, representatives from Maritime Institute of Malaysia (MIMA), Amy Aai Sheau Ye, Melda Marissa bt. Malek, and Elvia Cory Abu Hasan. These interviews were conducted to provide the researches with a clearer insight of the current situation of the research topic from the point of view of expertise. Apart from that, the researchers have also studied the regulation of transportation of dangerous goods in other countries for the purpose of comparison in the law from another point of view. Overall, it is found that there is not specific law which govern transportation dangerous goods by sea. However, practice on shipping of dangerous goods in Malaysia is guide by international guideline such as International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG) Code

Redefining horizons: Delving into personality trends and diverse challenges in STEM education across Malaysia

Personality is a characteristic feature of a person that is manifested in outward behavior and is influenced by the factors that make up a person's personality in life. The boom in the development of science and technology combined with the rapid progress of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) makes STEM education so important as a career element in the future. However, the trend of STEM students' participation in education in schools is very worrying. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the personality characteristics and trends of students' inclination towards STEM education in schools. The conceptual parts consist of an extensive search and analysis of academic articles and government publications related to personality issues and trends of STEM interest in education. A conceptual framework is proposed to identify the relationship between personality and STEM education trends based on the findings and support from previous studies. The significance of this study provides a new dimension of personality factors as a variable for the trend of interest in STEM education among students in school. This study also helps researchers and government agencies explore and evaluate the extent to which personality factors can add value in strengthening STEM education in schools

Design of a fault diagnostic engine for power transformer using data mining

The power transformer is one of the main components in a power transmission network. Major faults in these transformers can cause extensive damage which does not only interrupt electricity supply but also results in large revenue losses. Thus, these transformers are needed to be routinely maintained. Due to the large number of transformers of different makes and capacities, routine maintenance and diagnosis of such transformers are rather difficult as different transformers exhibit different characteristics and problems. Moreover, different climatic and operating conditions may not be able to draw correct conclusion to some problems. In Malaysia, the lack of local expertise makes dependency on foreign consultants imminent which are rather expensive. To help in overcoming such problems, a Software for Intelligent Diagnostics of Power Transformers known as ADAPT, using the technique of fuzzy logic is developed in this study. The technique allows the interpretation of the Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) to be performed routinely on the transformers. In order to ensure that all the transformers are diagnosed and maintained properly, a new intelligent diagnostic architecture known as Total Intelligent Diagnostic Solution (TIDS) has been developed to improve the diagnosis accuracy of the conventional DGA approaches. The TIDS structure has a main interpretation module which consists of Fuzzy TDCG and Fuzzy Key Gases and a supportive interpretation module which consists of Fuzzy Rogers Ratio and Fuzzy Nomograph. The TIDS structure is incorporated into the ADAPT software which allows for multiple diagnostic methods to reach an ultimate outcome especially when verified by four methods. This new architecture leads to the diagnostic of a wider range of transformer fault types and provides a more detail information about the transformer condition, thus help to reduce maintenance costs, prevent unnecessary force outages and avoid explosion danger

Etnografi Visual, FSGK, UNIMAS Artifak Suku Iban Kg Ketimbong, Sarawak

Laman sesawang ilmiah ini dibangunkan oleh 20 orang pelajar Tahun 3 (2020), Pengkhususan Fotografi, Program Seni Halus, Fakulti Seni Gunaan dan Kreatif, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), dibawah seliaan dan suntingan Encik Anuar Bin Ayob. Laman sesawang ini adalah suatu hasil penerbitan kreatif bagi subjek GKV3195 -Etnografi Visual dalam menterjemahkan hasil kerja lapangan yang telah dilakukan bagi mengkaji budaya serta kehidupan etnik serta masyarakat yang dipilih. Kajian ini dijalankan dengan mengumpul data menerusi kaedah pemerhatian dan penyertaan para pelajar bersama kelompok etnik atau masyarakat yang dikaji. Hasil penerbitan kreatif dari kajian ini diharap dapat memanfaatkan komuniti setempat dan juga masyarakat luar dalam menjadi sumber rujukan umum ataupun akademik pada masa hadapan. Etnik yang dikaji adalah etnik Iban dari Kampung Ketimbong, Sebuyau, Sarawak. Kampung Ketimbong mula ditubuhkan pada sekitar tahun 1078. Ketua rumah panjang yang pertama ialah Juti. Juti diganti oleh anak beliau iaitu Jamit setelah kematiannya. Kemudian Jamit diganti oleh anaknya iaitu Ungga sehingga kini setelah ketiadaannya. Ia merupakan 3 keturunan dari salasilah yang sama memegang tugas sebagai tuai rumah. Juti berasal dari Batang Skrang lalu berpindah ke Ulu Sebuyau dan membuka penempatan baru di Ketimbong. Dahulu, penduduk di kawasan Ketimbong tidak ramai hanya terdiri dari keluarga Juti sahaja. Hasil dari kelahiran 3 generasi oleh keluarga Juti telah menyebabkan penduduk Kampung Ketimbong bertambah dari 6 pintu (dahulu) sehinggalah 16 pintu (sekarang). Ayah Ungga iaitu Jamit mempunyai 12 orang adik beradik, 11 daripadanya masih hidup manakala seorang sudah meninggal dunia. Menurut cerita ayah Ungga yang diperturunkan kepada Ungga, asal nama kampung Ketimbong bermula dari seorang perempuan Cina yang dipercayai seorang penjual kain, yang mandi menggunakan kain di mana kain tersebut telah mengelembung disebabkan buih lalu jadi digelar oleh penduduk tempatan sebagai Ketimbong
