Story Face Strategy to Improve Students’ Comprehension of English Text

This research studied the implementation of Story Face Strategy in improving student’s reading comprehension. Therefore, this thesis entitled “Story Face Strategy to Improve Student’s Comprehension of English Text”. The aim of this research is to know whether using Story Face Strategy improves Junior High school students’ reading comprehension and to find the students’ response toward using Story Face Strategy in improving reading. The subject of this research is students of nine grade. To obtain the data, there were two techniques used during conducting research; test and questionnaire. It was found that Story Face Strategy increases readers' ability. The mean score of pre-test was 69.66 while the mean score of post-test 90.27 which mean that post-test score was higher that of the pre- test. Due to the result finding, the writer summarizes that the use of Story Face Strategy improved students’ ability on reading. a close examination of these results point that students gave positive responses toward using Story Face Strategy in their classrooms

An improved method for determining indoor air quality level in the classroom at pre-school building

Indoor air pollution is not a new problem but has become an issue in today's building environment. Occupant began to realize the direct effects of indoor air pollution, and the importance of good indoor air quality, especially when related to children health and life inside classroom. This study conducted to measure the level of indoor air quality for different parameters in selected pre-school based on Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Selected pre-school has been chosen located around Batu Pahat and Muar area. Six parameters that has been chosen in order to develop the assessment instrument specifically for the pre-school classroom. These parameters are referred to the Industry Code of Practice, 2010 as assigned to measure the level of indoor air quality and verified by expert panels from academic background and IAQ field background. The result show that, Paya Redan Pre-school recorded total of IAQ index with 71.93%, while Pintas Raya recorded total of IAQ index with 100% and Seri Aman recorded total of IAQ index with 100%. The significant finding from this objective is most of Pre-school can be classified as IAQ index with good conditions at below acceptable limits. However, there was one parameter that recorded with above acceptable limits at Paya Redan Pre-school which was CO₂. Finally, the outcome of this research could give benefit and provide guideline to school management in order to improve IAQ towards conducive and healthy environment

Evaluation of energy uses for two types of holing method / Muhammad Ridhwan Suhaimi

The replanting operation of an oil palm as a whole need to meet the timeline provided. As holing is one of the processes in replanting operation, it is also important to complete it on time. Holing can be done either manually or mechanically. This study was conducted to evaluate the energy uses in two types of holing methods. Other than energy, the working performance over time and cost that involved in both methods was also evaluated. The data is taken at FGV Tembangau 7. The parameter taken was the food consumption of the labor, the amount of fuel used by the tractor, the area covered within a time, and the cost that involved the two methods of holing. The data then been analyzed using a formula to determine the energy usage. The result showed that the energy consumption by the labor which taken from the energy content of each food they eat is 6.388 MJ and the amount of fuel used by the tractor is 244.20 MJ. The labor can covered 0.72 hectare per day and the auger can covered 3.26 hectare in the same working hour. The cost of paying labor wages is RM 70 per day where the cost of using mechanically is RM 495 per day. It can be concluded that mechanical method is better than manual method. Many companies can use this case study to gain information and to make decision in choosing which method they could use in their plantation

A new model for requirements to code traceability to support code coverage analysis

Requirements traceability is one of the most important and challenging tasks in the industry to ensure that software has been developed according to all user requirements. Requirements need to be specified and traced throughout the software development life cycle in order to map links between different software artifacts. This paper proposes a new model for finding traceability of functional requirements into artifacts such as methods, classes and packages. In this approach, requirements traceability links to code remains updated every time even after changes in code and requirements. This can be applied in updated coverage data and analysis to know which part of code has been tested and which has not been tested yet. Management can visualize the progress and quality of the software by knowing the traced code

FAKTOR EKONOMI PENYEBAB CERAI GUGAT (Studi Kasus di Pengadilan Agama Purwodadi Tahun 2018)

AbstrakDidalam Undang-Undang Perkawinan Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 disebutkan tujuan perkawinan yaitu membentuk keluarga yang bahagia dan kekal berdasarkan keTuhanan Yang Maha Esa.

Prediction of Carbon Dioxide solubility in aqueous Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solution – A Kent-Eisenberg approach

In this project, the main objective is to develop a model based on the Kent-Eisenberg model to be used with MATLAB software. In this process, the acid component, which is CO2 gas will be reacted with the alkanolamine solution, aqueous MDEA. The model is used to predict the loading of CO2 in aqueous solutions of MDEA under certain sets of parameters such as various temperature (400C – 1200C) and CO2 partial pressure (0.001 – 1000 kPa). Prediction was also made on the loading in solutions of MDEA based on 35 wt% and also 50 wt%. Prediction also were tested with different sets of MDEA concentration. Besides that, the prediction was compared with the results from the earlier literatures. In the nutshell, it was found that the model was able to give a relatively good CO2 loading amount, over wide area of operating conditions as specified with better accuracy than the studied model, Xu et al (1998)
