Design through research: Handpicking tools case study as facilitator to collaborative product development / Azmir Mamat Nawi and Wan Zaiyana Mohd Yusof

Collaboration between research and design is believed by many design theorists to offer new originality, insight and specialist expertise for product design. In practice, however, there exists a discrepancy between this ideal and a reality of unreconcilable cultural and methodological differences. This project has proven that the collaboration between research and design fuels creativity. This study documents and discusses such a collaboration as an example of practice with implications for educators, designers and students. It identifies a new role with the appropriate knowledge and experience to act as bridges within companies, facilitating the adoption of design methodologies appropriate to changing priorities in the design industries

The Development of Golden Apple Snail Eggs Picker

Several potential benefits of Golden Apple Snail, or GAS have been reported, including its use as a source of food, use in the trade of aquariums, biological control of plants, as a source of protein for fish, ducks and crocodiles, and as a liquid biofertilizer. However, its physiological adaptability and capacity to travel a long distance within a water system has become an invader of new habitats. Thus, GAS is now a major pest in the cultivation of rice. Numerous research have shown that GAS can be managed at various stages of cultivation by combining chemical, mechanical, and biological steps. Nevertheless, GAS eradication has become a laborious and expensive task. This study aims to design the biological tool or prototype to eradicate this major pest. More particularly, the invention relates to a tool that adapts hand-picking method in controlling and eradicating the eggs of these pests. This study provides a society implication for paddy farmers, in which the creation of this tool is effective and important to drive the farmers to better productivity with the eradication of GAS eggs

LEDLIDI ( coconut leaf stick lighting ) / Asrol Hasan…[et al.]

Craft Industry has been developed as part of the Creative Industry Policy in Malaysia (DIKN) which was launched in 2009. The creative industries have become a focused policy area for the Malaysian government which is in Line with the Vision 2020. The Malaysian craft industry used to focus on weaving products such as basket or other daily use craft products from rattan and bamboo rather than exploring other natural materials. Although other handmade craft products which are created using natural resources (from the coconut tree, banana trunk. eggshells, etc.) are seen to have commercial values, some of these materials are still undervalued and not fully recognised in the craft industries. One of the most undervalued natural material is coconut leaf stick which has not been seriously considered as a core substance in the craft industries in Malaysia. Opnsidei ing this. this study is carried out to explore the potential use of coconut sticks in product design. The LEDLIDI is designed to give new dimensions in the development of creative products in Malaysia which focuses more on lighting design or home interior decoration products that are made from coconut leaf sticks. This project focuses on the development process. ideas generation and material exploration where coconut stick is identified to have aesthetical commercial values. diverse usage and durable features. The LEDLIDI is uniquely designed to be multifunctional and can be converted into a table light. a freestanding light and a pendant light. The silhouette which is projected from the arrangement of the coconut sticks will not only illuminate but create an ambience for modern contemporary living spaces. One of the significant impacts of this project is to give ideas and be an exponent for cottage industries to explore more natural materials for craft production in their designs. It is hoped that the use of coconut leaf sticks can help the craft industries' entrepreneurs to develop and produce more home interior craft products which are able to compete in the global market
