Sustainability practices for groundwater treatment to remove chloride and sulphate

Groundwater is an alternative source of water for human consumption. Groundwater at RECESS, UTHM is one of the water sources that available to be used by UTHM resident. Unfortunately, it has a high content of chloride and sulphate concentrations in which originated from the mineral content in the ground. This chapter was conducted to review the effectiveness of the Nature Groundwater Eco-Treatment (N-GET) system that has been designed at RECESS in removing chloride and sulphate concentrations as well as pH and turbidity parameters. N-GET system is a natural treatment process without mixing any substances intended to improve the groundwater quality. This system uses two treatment tanks which are sedimentation tank, aeration tank and three sets of filters which were activated carbon filter, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) filter and ceramic filter. The chloride and sulphate parameters effectively removed by using a combination with aeration and sedimentation process and use any ceramic filtration in the market. It was performed more than 80 % than others by reducing all concentrations. Therefore, groundwater process by using any filters is the final stage and best practice to remove any concentrations safely

Effectiveness of Robotic Gaming Towards Students Motivation for Respiration Topic

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of learning robot game on student motivation for cell respiration topic. A total of 474 students oneyear module 1 & 3 involving three colleges Kedah Matriculation College, Perlis Matriculation College and Perak Matriculation College. The motivational questionnaire on learning materials developed by Keller (1987) was used in the study to measure student motivation. This study uses a quantitative non-survey approach with quasi-experimental design involving treatment and control groups. Robots developed using the Arduino-uno brain and coding processes for robot coordination through the software Scratch for Arduino (S4A). Student motivation was measured at three different time periods (pre-questionnaire, post-questionnaire and postquestionnaire 2). The two statistical test was performed, repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) one way at significant level p<0.05, Mauchly test and also the effect size as measurement was performed at three different time periods. The results of the analysis showed that both control and treatment groups showed significant improvement in three periods based on motivation with p <0.05. Howeversuch a size effect shows that the treatment group has a high impact and the desired zone effect from the learning material compared to the control group

Teaching And Facilitation (T&F) for Islamic education teachers in Sabah state’s primary schools of Ministry Of Education Malaysia during Movement Control Order (Mco) – Covid-19

The employment and development of teaching aids (TAs) in the learning of Islamic Education are typical in 21st-century learning. Nevertheless, many new researchers in the domain of Islamic Education were not aware of the existence of various TAs that were developed or utilised in the learning of Islamic Education. Thus, this research concentrated on searches related to the development and use of prior Islamic Education’s TAs. This study adopted the ROSES review protocol to obtain information related to the development and use of Islamic Education’s TAs. Data search was done using the Scopus, Springer, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, Dimension, Google Scholar, My Cite and DOAJ databases. The conclusions of the research revealed that Islamic Education’s TAs developed by previous researchers in Asia were e-Jawi, interactive Islamic Prayer (iIP), Moodle e-learning, i-Talk Pismen, Global Zakat Game, Smart Al- Fatihah, mobile learning, video, Yadun Method innovation, e-Pendidikan Islam and Jawi-AR Application. While TAs employed by preceding researchers in Asia covered the application of games, word cards, Smart Iqra’, vle-frog, interactive whiteboard, video, Instructional Video Dram, ICT media, i-think mind map, digital Quran, map mind, interactive multimedia applications, innovation, internet, PowerPoint, flash, digital hadith, ebook, comics, exercise books, notebooks, audio media, visual media, Iqra and mobile learning. This research could be employed as a guide to search for Islamic Education TAs or develop new TAs materials for Islamic Education subjects

Teaching and facilitation (T&F) for Islamic education teachers in Sabah state’s primary schools of Ministry Of Education Malaysia during movement control order (MCO) – Covid-19

COVID 19, which hit the world, has inspired a momentous shift to the Teaching and Facilitation (T&F) of teachers in Malaysia which immediately involves Islamic Education Teachers (IET). To guarantee continued education, the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) has published a Circular Notice on Teaching and Learning at Home (PdPR). This notice becomes a definitive reference during the period of provisional closure operation of the school. This research aimed to identify Islamic education teachers’ methods and approaches throughout the Teaching and Learning at Home (PdPR). This study employed qualitative methods in the form of case studies. Study data were obtained through semi-structured interviews as the primary source and supported by observation and document analysis. The research participants included seven Islamic Education teachers who served in Primary Schools in Sabah, Malaysia. The findings of the study were analysed using ATLAS.ti Version 9. The analysis outcomes identified three principal themes obtained in the implementation of Teaching and Learning at Home (PdPR) among Islamic Education teachers. Firstly, Online Teaching and Facilitation, secondly, Offline Teaching and Facilitation and thirdly, Mixed-Mode Teaching and Facilitation. This research too afforded several ideas to present coordinated and exceptional Teaching and Facilitation services, especially in communicating information and communication technology in Islamic Religious Education

An Adaptive Thresholding Method for Segmenting Dental X-Ray Images

Thresholding is a way of segmenting an image into foreground and background according to a fixed constant value called a threshold. Image segmentation based on a constant threshold leads to unsatisfactory results with dental X-ray images due to the uneven distribution of pixel intensity. In this paper, an adaptive thresholding method is proposed to attain promising segmentation results for dental X-ray images. The Mean, Median, Midgrey, Niblack, and OTSU thresholding methods are utilized to delineate the acceptable range of threshold values to be applied for segmenting X-ray images. Experimental results showed that the Median method provides consistency in achieving the best range of threshold values which is between 57 and 86 in greyscale

Implementation of positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement in the development of Rms prayer’s pillars gamification

RMS Prayer’s Pillars Gamification is a game related to pillars of qalbi (heart), pillars of qauli (words) and pillars of fikli (deeds) using Robot M-Solat (RMS). This gamification was developed based on enhancing motivation to improve the mastery of prayer pillars among students. This gamification’s advancement implements positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement, two inherent components in Skinner Operant Conditioning Theory. Thus, this study’s goal was to identify the use of positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement in education and suggest implementing this element in the development of RMS Prayer’s Pillars Gamification. This research was a qualitative study using content analysis methods. The search for scientific materials such as journal articles, conference papers and theses was done using the keywords “positive reinforcement”, “negative reinforcement”, “Skinner’s Operant Conditioning Theory”, “prayer” and “gamification”. The study’s conclusions revealed that positive reinforcement could be implemented in the Gamification of Fard (Obligatory) Prayers by giving stars, rendering rewarding cards, honours and compliments from teachers or M-Prayer Robots. Meanwhile, negative reinforcement could be done with the issuance of penalty cards, reprimands, advice, time and additional assignments during the learning and facilitation (L&F) process
