    Personal characteristics like gender has been shown to be related to people’s attitude towards medical treatment. A negative attitude towards health care provider can be expressed as mistrust. This paper examines the relationship between personal characteristics (generalized trust, sex including whether the person had obtained treatment at a health care centre) and mistrust to a university health care centre. Survey respondents are 420 university students with age ranging from 18 to 29 (M=21.6, SD=1.26). Both types of trusts were similar between the sexes and between students who had and had not visited the health care centre. The finding reveals that generalized trust is not related to mistrust towards healthcare provider. Further studies are needed to establish the extent to which a domain-specific mis-trust has marginal benefits over a generalized trus

    Aggregate planning is an operational activity with the objective of providing upfront information on quantity of material to be procured and resources to be secured. At a point of time, it might also influence both demand and supply. This is where the sales division will work closely with operation on aggregate planning to deliver maximum profit. Aggregate planning does not only serve as a master plan for the production planner, it is also closely linked to organisational decision-making. Realising its importance, researchers have worked on this subject consistently since 1950s but due to complexity and practicality issue, industry did not manage somehow to adopt the research work. In 2016, the concept of Production Decision Support System (PDSS) was introduced following the Pinch Analysis extended into supply chain area. In this work, the PDSS is applied to a batch industry case which involve multi-products with multiple different size processors. From the assessment, the PDSS has not only demonstrated its practicality but also helped the plant to realise their potential capacity. This has assisted the plant management to realign the strategy and avoided the original intention of expensive expansion

    An enhanced tool for heat exchanger network retrofit towards cleaner processes

    Get PDF
    The individual stream temperature versus enthalpy plot (STEP) is a graphical tool that can be used to simultaneously diagnose and retrofit existing heat exchanger networks (HEN). The Modified Energy Transfer Diagram (ETD) utilises the Grand Composite Curve (GCC) to provide insights on the scope for HEN retrofit and to pinpoint retrofit alternatives based on the Bridge Analysis method. Both the STEP and the Modified ETD methods are based on graphical representation of individual process streams that enable users to visually identify the potential scope for improvement in an existing HEN. It is found that, using the distance of the horizontal gap between the stream pairs of the STEP diagram can simplify the construction of the Modified ETD. The Modified ETD can help monitor the progress of HEN retrofit. This paper shows through a case study that, combining the use of STEP-ETD methods can simplify, facilitate and enhance the simultaneous targeting, diagnosis and retrofit of a HEN toward achieving cleaner processes, while yielding the same final retrofitted structure like those produced by using only the Modified ETD

    Ultrasonic sensor is one of the electronic components used in designing a mobile robot navigation system to assist visually impaired person. However, no guideline or algorithm has been established so far to ease the selection and determination of optimum number of ultrasonic sensors to be used and the layout for the sensors. The purpose of this study is to obtain an algorithm that can be used as a guideline for selecting appropriate ultrasonic component model. The algorithm is used for determining the optimum numbers and optimum layout for ultrasonic sensors of interest when used for a mobile robot navigation system for a 180° obstacle detection using theoretical calculations. All theoretical values obtained are compared with real-time data using an actual ultrasonic sensor placed on experimental platform. This set up is used with different numbers and placements using the selected ultrasonic sensor, HC–SR04 and is compared with the theoretical values for validation. Then, relevant equations are used to calculate the number of sensors and layout used for another ultrasonic sensor, MA40B8 to show the correctness of the equations used in this study. The MA40B8 ultrasonic sensor was originally used for a 360° obstacle detection system. It is proven that the equations used in this study are valid theoretically and experimentally. The algorithm can also be used to decide the optimum numbers and optimum layout for ultrasonic sensors for a 180° obstacle detection

    Heat and mass such as water and solvents are two key utilities in process industry. Simultaneous reduction of both utilities can reduce plant capital as well as operating costs. Though there are mathematical modeling techniques that can produce global optimal solutions, graphical methods are often preferred to provide insights through visualization. This paper presents a new graphical approach named superimposed mass and energy curves (SMEC) for simultaneous mass and heat reduction applicable to both mass transfer-based and non-mass transfer-based systems. Source and demand allocation curves and heat surplus diagram are superimposed on a plot of flowrate versus mass load/temperature to guide design towards the minimum utility targets. This method provides a useful visualization tool on the simultaneous effects of mass and energy reduction. Application of the graphical procedure on case studies involving water and ammonia solvents achieved the minimum mass consumption and near optimal energy usage

    Improvement in the Quality of Health of Malaysians is part of 2nd Strategic Thrust of the Midterm Review 2016-2020 by the government focusing on “Improving Wellbeing for All”, by 2020. The primary health sector, as the safety net for the healthy nation, remain the focal point for all to access healthcare. With over 2881 number of health clinics all around the country, of various degree of building age, sizes and designs, the demand for quality care require a review of the facilities and its’ ability to improve while functioning. Existing clinics are the gems for the local populace. Replacing them to faraway places is not an idea of accessibility and place continuity. This paper thus aims at addressing the meaning of quality service from architectural facility expectation in the remake of selected aged facilities to meet prevailing standards and reasonable expectations. Through qualitative research by selected case studies of aged facilities and literature review, including new design briefs of government health clinics, the findings, through observation and interview, a scenario for the remake will be churned. Architectural expressions of the remake as design proposal will be recommended to the Ministry of Health Malaysia as a spur towards more design review of other clinics as proactive measure from public works department, the university or the NGO, who care

    Holistic approach for design of minimum water networks using the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) technique

    Get PDF
    Minimum fresh water consumption and wastewater generation in a facility can be achieved when all options for water minimization including source elimination, reduction, reuse/recycle, outsourcing, and regeneration have been considered. This work presents the development of a new generic mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to holistically minimize fresh water consumption and wastewater generation for systems involving multiple contaminants where the various options for water minimization are simultaneously considered in order to ultimately generate a minimum water utilization network. The MILP model proposed in this work can be used to simultaneously generate the minimum water targets and design the minimum water network for global water-using operations for buildings and industry. This work also includes cases where fresh water concentrations for all contaminants are assumed to be either zero or non-zero. The approach has been successfully implemented in case studies involving an urban building (Sultan Ismail Mosque, UTM) and a manufacturing plant (a chlor-alkali plant)
