Sincere goes to Mr. Jasmi Abd Talib UTP supervisor that have encourage, support and have spent time to discussing some matters regarding to my final year project. He also supported me and encouraged me to complete this task so that I will not procrastinate in doing it. As my project all about the drilling fluids which evaluates the greenery material as drilling fluid additives in water based system. Lost circulation is defined as the total loss of drilling fluid into the formation. This project is mainly focus on how to prevent unwanted issues by evaluating the lost circulation materials (LCM) in water based mud system which based on green LCM - environmental friendly and has a lower cost than contemporary LCM. Contemporary LCM made from, mica, raw cotton, nut shell, wood fibre, corn cobs and etc. Several of this material can be toxic to environment or take long time to dispose if the drilling company decides to dumb the mud into the sea or the mud lost in to formation. The project involves several experiments such as rheology, permeability plugging test and fluid loss to determine the properties and performance of green LCM. The experiments require several lab equipment such as Fann 35 viscometer, API Filtration Loss, and etc. Hopefully, the green LCM which based on sugarcane can achieve the target successfully

The awareness and understanding of Islamic economy among accountancy students in UiTM Puncak Alam / Muhammad Nor Syafiq Abdullah

Islam is a universal, integrity, and comprehensive life system that had set a perfect journey for human life. As a way of life, Islam touches all matters pertaining to life, from the simplest to the most complex of affairs. Both in the political, economic, educational, artistic, social, cultural, and another aspects. Islam is the perfect religion, governing economic matters. When the economy of a country or national economy that applies the basis of the Qur'an and Hadith is used as the ultimate guide, surely the economy of a country will go well and avoid the contradictory things of syarak. The fact is not all Islamic countries in the world are implementing sharia-compliant economic policies in their economic systems. But, some countries still practice conventional economic systems that have many advantages but bring harm to Muslims. So, people nowadays must know about economic system in our country. They also can choose to use the system that is proper for them to apply in their economy system. They generate national income through conventional economic system which they have practiced since time immemorial. This is quite difficult for them to continue to use the Islamic economic system if not given understanding exactly about the advantages contained in the economic system of Islam when they use it

Flood Warning and Monitoring System Utilizing Internet of Things Technology

Flooding is one of the major disasters occurring in various parts of the world including Malaysia. To reduce the effect of the disaster, a flood warning and monitoring are needed to give an early warning to the victims at certain place with high prone to flood. By implementing Internet of Thing technology into the system, it could help the victim to get an accurate status of flood in real-time condition. This paper is develop a real-time flood monitoring and early warning system using wireless sensor node at a high prone area of flood. This system is based on NodeMCU based technology integrated using Blynk application. The wireless sensor node can help the victims by detecting the water levels and rain intensity while giving an early warning when a flood or heavy rain occurs. Basically, the sensor node consists of ultrasonic sensor and rain sensor controlled by NodeMCU as the microcontroller of the system which placed at the identified flood area. Buzzer and LED started to trigger and alert the victim when the flood had reached certain level of hazard. Data detected from the sensors are sent to the Blynk application via wireless connection. Victim will get to know the current status of flood and rain by viewing the interface and receiving push notification that available in Blynk application via IOS or Android smartphones. The flood level’s data sent to the email could help various organizations for further improvement of the system and flood forecasting purposes. After a test had been conducted, it was found that this prototype can monitor, detect and give warning with notification to the victim earlier before the occurrence of floods
