Nose tip region detection in 3D facial model across large pose variation and facial expression

Detecting nose tip location has become an important task in face analysis. However, for a 3D face model with presence of large rotation variation, detecting nose tip location is certainly a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a method to detect nose tip region in large rotation variation based on the geometrical shape of a nose. Nose region has always been considered as the most protuberant part of a face. Based on convex points of face surface, we use morphological approach to obtain nose tip region candidates consist of highest point density. For each point of each region candidate, a signature is generated and evaluated with trained nose tip tolerance band for matching purpose. The region that contains the point which scores the most is chosen as the final nose tip region. This method can handle large rotation variation, facial expression, combination of all rotations (yaw, pitch and roll) and large non-facial outliers. Combination of two databases has been used; UPMFace and GavabDB as training data set and test data set. The experimental results show that 95.19% nose tip region over 1300 3D face models were correctly detected

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: A PRELIMINARY STUDY AMONG TRAINEE TEACHERS IN INSTITUTE OF TEACHER EDUCATION, TECHNICAL EDUCATION CAMPUS

In the age of globalization, Inclusive Education (IE) aims to foster engagement and provide opportunities for Students with Special Education Needs (SEN) to get involved in academic and extracurricular activities alongside mainstream students. However, there is still societal prejudice against an integrated education system that can help Students with Special Education Needs (SEN) succeed, particularly among trainee teachers. Therefore, this research was carried out to measure trainee teachers' level of understanding in terms of knowledge and readiness in implementing Inclusive Education. This study was conducted quantitatively using a survey involving 204 trainee teachers from Bachelor of Teaching Degree Program (PISMP) (June 2020, Year 3, Semester II) offered Inclusive Education course majoring in Design and Technology (RBT), Mathematics, Science, Islamic Education, Malay Studies and TESL. A set of questionnaires using 5-point Likert Scale was administered online using Google Forms and the data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics, namely mean and standard deviation through Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 29. The most obvious finding to emerge from the analysis is that the level of knowledge (mean=4.44, SD=0.62) and readiness (mean=4.14, SD=0.81) in understanding of Inclusive Education (IE) is high among trainee teachers in Institute of Teacher Education, Technical Education Campus (IPGKPT).The findings of this research will critically examine and provide deeper insights on improvements that can be made for both practitioners and policy-makers to achieve the goal to integrate 75% of Students with Special Education Needs (SEN) into Inclusive Education by 2025 as stated in the Malaysian Education Blueprint (2013 - 2025)

An analysis on the effect of illegal, unreported & unregulated (IUU) fishing towards the quality &sustainability of Malaysia marine resources and security

The fisheries industry in Malaysia has an important role in managing the yield of national protein sources, and this sector also contributes to the country's economic income by exporting. However, the high demand and the use of protein sources indirectly affect the conservation of marine resources. Thus, irresponsible parties have taken the opportunity to engage in Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated Fishing (IUU) activities for their own profit and threaten the sustainability of marine resources and the security of the country's waters. This study is to evaluate the effect of IUU fishing towards sustainability Malaysian marine resources and water security. The focus on IUU fishing that contributes to the over-exploitation of fisheries and illegal fishing. The results from this simultaneous quantitative method study indicate that Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated (IUU) Fishing activity has negative impact on the sustainability of marine resources and may threaten the security of Malaysia waters

Implementation of continuous-grouped-self-learning (CGSL) system in engineering education

This paper presents a new method in engineering education called a continuous-grouped-self-learning (CGSL) system. In general, based on feedbacks acquired from the student at the end of the implementation, students better understanding and appreciation to the courses been taught. Out of 60 students 71.7% admitted that this learning system has improved their study style and knowledge acquisition, which then agreed to be implemented in future. The observation shows that this system increases the appreciation to the knowledge better than conventional method. Apart from that the system also produced better students in term of responsibility, self-confidence, competitiveness, group work, and knowledge sharing. This is realized with the implementation of mock teaching assessment
