Effect of harvesting training practices toward harvesting productivity / Mohammad Asyraf Sharin

Training is a necessity in the workplace, without it, employments do not have a firm grasp on their responsibilities or duties. Employment training refers to programs that provide workers with information, new skill or professional development opportunities. In these studies, it focused on relationship between harvesting practices with harvesting productivity and dominant harvesting training factors that influence harvesting productivity. The study was conducted at Mersing and data were taken from the questionnaire based on an analysis of training requirement to improve the productivity of harvesting activities. For bunches identification, practices and harvesting procedure is factor to influence and harvesting productivity to be influenced. Data gathered were analyzed using SPSS and construct for correlation and regression. From the result, bunches identification the way of work and highest factor have given an impact on the harvesting productivity. In conclusion, the most dominant factors toward harvesting production was bunches identification and practices and harvesting procedure. For recommendation, the management estate needs to provide training to employees to improve the harvesting productivity

Studies of The Porosity Data Analysis of Shallow Well Environment Sediments for Reservoir Quality Estimation in Pulau Bunting, Yan Kedah.

For the first part of this project, the general objective is to evaluate the general geology of the Pulau Bunting. There are several method has to be used to complete and achieve the objective. Fracture analysis method (streonet and rose diagram) has been used to interpret Pulau Bunting metasediment fracture pattern. On the other hand, there are also several elevation data has been taken to help generating the island topography map. Borehole correlation data has also been used to give a basic interpretation of the island lithology. As for the specific objective of this project, the Porosity data analysis will be use based on the theory of consolidation. The specific objective behind this analysis is to determine the reservoir quality for shallow well environments in Pulau Bunting. This analysis has been derived directly from the ultimate soil settlement in which the soil has been classified based on its initial void ratio, final void ratio and thickness of soil layer. The outcome of the analysis is to produce porosity versus depth profile to observe the porosity distribution in Pulau Bunting. The porosity distribution will then compared with the Menggala Sandstone in Sihapas Formation which has the porosity of 25% at depth between 500m – 1000m at the Central Sumatera Basin. Through the analysis, the initial void porosity gives depth of 118 meter at 25% porosity while the CPI porosity gives depth of 1438 meter at 25% porosity. Therefore, it can be concluded that at depth of 118 – 1438 m the porosity of the area are estimated to be at 25%

Synthesis, Characterization and Modification of Metal Organic Framework-235 for Carbon Dioxide Adsorption

Reducing anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and lowering the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has quickly become one of the most urgent environmental issues in this era. There are both natural and human sources of CO2 emissions. Natural sources include decomposition, ocean release, respiration and volcanoes. Human sources come from activities like cement production, deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) from large point sources such as power plants is one option for reducing CO2 emissions. While a variety of technologies and methods have been developed, the adsorption of CO2 from gas streams is still a critical issue. Apart from establishing new techniques, the exploration of capture materials with high adsorption performance and low capital cost are of paramount importance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a new class of crystalline porous materials constructed by metal-containing nodes bonded to organic bridging ligand shows a great potential as adsorbents or membrane materials in gas separatation. Related with the title of the project, this project will focus on synthesis, characterization and modification of MOF-235 and it is believed can give impressive result in the adsorption ability of CO2. Thus, MOF-235 can be a good alternative method in reducing CO2 emission

Nikah Menggunakan Wali Hakim Tanpa Keizinan dan Pengetahuan Wali Nasab Menurut Irsyad Al-Fatwa Siri ke 408 di Malaysia (Studi Kasus di Malaysia)

Nikah merupakan suatu hal yang sakral, dilakukan oleh calon pengantin pria dan wanita. Dalam pernikahan tentunya memiliki rukun dan syarat pernikahan yang harus terpenuhi. Rukun pernikahan terdiri dari, calon pengantin pria dan wanita, saksi, wali nikah, dan akad nikah. Dalam hal pernikahan wali merupakan salah satu rukun nikah yang harus di penuhi, sehingga menikah harus ada wali di dalamnya sehingga jika pernikahan perempuan tanpa seorang wali. Namun, dalam praktiknya di Negara Malaysia terdapat beberapa praktik yang menikah tanpa menggunakan wali hakim, sementara wali nasab masih ada. Hal ini di sebabkan karena adanya Irsyad al-fatwa siri ke 408 yang menyatakan kebolehan menggunakan wali hakim apabila memenuhi ketentuan 2 marhalah jauhnya dari keberadaan wali nasab. Hal ini lah yang menjadi latar belakang penulis untuk meneliti ini lebih dalam mengenai bagaimana praktik tersebut apakah sesuai dengan ketentuan negara dan hukum Islam. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis pendekatan normatif yuridis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pada praktiknya terdapat beberapa masyarakat di Malaysia masih terdapat beberapa praktik pasangan pengantin melakukan pernikahan di Thailand agar memenuhi ketentuan 2 marhalah agar bisa menggunakan wali hakim. Namun, pada beberapa putusan pengajuan pengesahan nikah seperti itu tidak ditolak karena tidak memenuhi ketetapan syariah. Sehingga sekalipun ada ketentuan Irsyad al-Fatwa Siri ke 408 hanya memberikan kemudahan, dengan ketentuan harus memenuhi rukun dan syarat dari hukum Islam

LEADERSHIP SPECTRUM CONSTRUED IN INAUGURAL SPEECHES BY MALAYSIAN AND FRENCH PRIME MINISTERS

Background and Purpose: Language is a form of discourse utilised in various situations, including leadership. Across borders, inaugural speech represents a common form of discourse delivered by leaders as an introductory address to their audiences. The theme of leadership is central to inaugural speeches and it is influenced by or/and influencing social aspects. This study aims to analyse leadership spectrum, namely attributes and agendas, as construed in discourse from the linguistic and social aspects.   Methodology: This study compares inaugural speeches by the Ninth Prime Minister of Malaysia, Ismail Sabri Yaakob and the Twenty-Fifth French Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne through the application of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) by Fairclough (2010).   Findings: In total, the leaders utilised 21 clauses which can be interpreted for their attributes and agendas. The discourses by both leaders reveal five attributes and six agendas. Some of the attributes are shared between the leaders, with differences exist in other attributes and agendas. Further explanation links those attributes and agendas to social aspects in Malaysia and France.   Contributions: This study contributes to a new domain in Malaysia-France comparative research and the study of inaugural speeches. In which case, it examines opaque leadershipspectrum in discourses by Malaysian and French leaders through the lens of critical discourse analysis (CDA).   Keywords: Critical discourse analysis, inaugural speech, leadership spectrum, Malaysia, France.   Cite as: Dinie Asyraf, S., Mohammad Fadzeli, J., & Suziana, M.

A study comparison of different aggregate between concrete mixture with processed recycled waste and conventional concrete mixture with gravel

This comparison research was developed to compare the performance of concrete mixture that used waste recycled materials as the alternative replacement of coarse aggregate with a conventional concrete mixture that use common granular materials. This is important as different types of materials used in concrete mixture may affect the strength of a concrete. This is due to the nature differences of the material that varies in sizes, grip, endurance, and stability which greatly affects the strength of a concrete mixture. The use of recycled materials in construction industry would greatly affect total waste production. At the end of the comparison, the results shows that the use of recycled materials can be done to replace conventional granular coarse aggregate in concrete mixture

Troli tong gas

Tong gas adalah sebahagian daripada keperluan rumah yang sangat penting untuk kegunaan dapur. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), atau petroleum gas biasanya digunakan untuk aplikasi perumahan (tong gas masak) dan tujuan komersial. LPG terutamanya terdiri daripada campuran hidrokarbon seperti propana (C3H8), propene (C3H6), n-butana (C4H10), isobutena (metil-propana), dan pelbagai butanes lain (C4H8) (Mustapa, Gitano Briggs, 2008). LPG disimpan cair dalam tong pada tekanan tinggi, tekanan wap sekitar 6 hingga 7 bar (Petrolium Nasional Berhad, 2013). Oleh itu, tong gas perlu diperbuat daripada silinder keluli bertekanan tinggi. Tong gas digunakan hampir di semua perumahan, termasuk rumah pangsa, kondominium dan apartment. Kebiasaan penghuni perumahan bertingkat yang tidak mempunyai lift terpaksa mengangkat tong gas menggunakan tenaga empat kerat, kadang kala menggunakan troli biasa untuk menggangkut tong gas tersebut bagi memudahkan dan meringankan kerja. Troli adalah peranti yang digunakan untuk membawa beban atau memindahkan bahan dari satu tempat ke yang lain. Untuk aplikasi yang berbeza pelbagai jenis troli digunakan Kebanyakan pekerja domestik juga menggunakan tenaga tulang empat kerat untuk kerja-kerja pemindahan troli .
