This study focuses on the application of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as replacement materials in concrete. In this study, EPS was utilized to replace fine aggregate up to 20% in the concrete mixture. One the other hand, POFA replaced cement up to 30% in the concrete mixture. The chemical properties of POFA were determined using XRD analysis and compared with cement. The mechanical properties of concrete cubes containing EPS and POFA were determined based on workability, density, water absorption and compressive strength. The performance of the concrete containing EPS and POFA was then compared with the normal concrete. As a result, the performance of the concrete containing EPS and POFA was determined.

This paper aims to develop an improved general mathematical model by focusing on human factors variables that related to the product defect in the manufacturing production line. This is because many studies found that almost 40% of total defects resulted from the operator error and the defects are usually not obvious and neglected. The objective to have defect prediction mathematical model to satisfy as early quality indicator of the manufacturing flow production line and assist the quality control team in manufacturing industries. Thus, the human factor variables will be investigate thoroughly and final model can be used to predict product defect on the line to improve product quality. Product defects quantity are identified and analyzed to determine the potential predictors for developing the mathematical model. A case study is offered that illustrates in a spice packaging semi-automated production line the effect that complexity variables have on assembly quality. By using Minitab, Multiple Regression analysis is conducted to model the relationship between the input variables towards response variables. From the analysis, the predicted data showed reasonable correlation with the observed data improved with adjusted R-Sq from 2.6% to 7.9%. Hence, the regression equation obtain is selected to be the prediction mathematical model for defects based on human factor input variables.

Agro-food entrepreneurship is one of the sectors that is popular in Malaysia. However, the failure rate in Malaysia is higher because people involved in agro-food entrepreneur are not aware of the business challenges and lacking knowledge about financial, marketing and management skills. The purpose of this research is to study the impact of participation of housewife and single mother in Agro-food Entrepreneurship (Frozen Food) and Marketing Strategy Training Module in Kelantan. A survey using a self-administered questionnaire has been conducted among 70 respondents who are involved in the Agro-food Entrepreneurship (Frozen Food) and Marketing Strategy Training Module in Kelantan through pre and post-assessments. The findings indicate that all respondents are interested in joining Agro-food Entrepreneurship (Frozen Food) and Marketing Strategy Training Module in Kelantan, and they have agreed that this training can improve the knowledge, skill and their quality of life. This study may provide useful information in identifying the best mechanisms to encourage women, especially housewife and single mothers’ participation in the Agro-food entrepreneurship training or program.

One of Covid-19 side effects was movement control order (MCO). Panic buying can be defined as the action of buying large quantities of a particular product or commodity due to sudden fears and a lockdown announcement from the government just adds fuel to the flames. This study has been done to identify the level of panic buying during movement restricted order (MCO). Panic buying is chosen as the research’s topic because it is the most obvious reaction that was shown from the public when MCO was announced and wanted to know did they practice this behavior or not. The researcher used questionnaire form to survey the level of panic buying during MCO. Google form was also used to determine the survey and the link was distributed to all social media platforms. From the survey, we gained 411 respondents, starting from age 18 and above that involved various ethnic in Malaysia. The findings show that the level of panic buying among Malaysian is very low (m=2.13).

Vending machines have been developed since 1880s and has been continued to be customized to suit the taste and needs of consumers. Vending machines serves automatically, with a specific currency. Vending machines has become a multipurpose machine that not only able to serve food and snacks, but also serve ready to go meal and some are also equipped with microwave to heat the food and can be readily eaten right after purchase. Suppliers are becoming more efficient in placing vending machines so that consumers can have access to the particular vending machines. Globalization has brought Islamization with Vending machines. Hence many halal-based products are available, with the innovation of Halal vending machine, competing with Kosher-based product. Japan, Brunei and Malaysia are the pioneers that open the market as to the growing numbers of Muslim consumers. Fake logos and too many certified Halal logos have done nothing but increasing the doubt among the Muslim consumers and community. This study uses Knowledge Attitude and Practice (KAP) Survey Model to keep track of the behavior of the consumer. (KAP) Survey Model questionnaire was distributed to 100 consumers to study the behavior and perception towards vending machines that sell Halal-based products.
自19世纪80年代以来,自动售货机一直被开发出来,并不断被定制以适应消费者的口味和需求。自动售货机会自动提供服务,并提供特定的货币。自动售货机已经成为一种多用途的机器,不仅可以提供食品和零食,还可以提供现成的饭菜,有些还配备了微波炉来加热食物,可以在购买后立即食用。供应商在放置自动售货机方面变得越来越高效,这样消费者就可以使用特定的自动售货机。全球化带来了自动售货机的伊斯兰化。因此,随着清真自动售货机的创新,许多以清真为基础的产品可用,与以犹太洁食为基础的产品竞争。日本、文莱和马来西亚是向越来越多的穆斯林消费者开放市场的先行者。假标识和太多的认证清真标识只会增加穆斯林消费者和社区的疑虑。本研究采用知识态度与行为(Knowledge Attitude and Practice, KAP)调查模型来追踪消费者的行为。(KAP)调查模型问卷向100名消费者发放,研究消费者对销售清真产品的自动售货机的行为和认知。

The effectiveness of Morus nigra as natural antimicrobial agents were assessed by the ability of the crude extract to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus brasiliensis, and Candida albicans. Different parts (fruit, root, leaves and stem) of M. nigra were extracted by maceration using different solvents; ethanol and methanol. The antimicrobial assays were carried out by paper disc diffusion method. M. nigra of all part extracted in ethanol were able to inhibit the growth of test microorganisms compared to, when extracted in methanol. Root and fruit extracts of M. nigra were able to inhibit the test microorganisms. The analytical analysis using HPLC-DAD was able to identify the presence of flavonoids rutin, quercetin, apigenin and kaempferol in crude extracts that correspond to inhibition zones observed. Hence, the results suggested that crude extracts from M. nigra root and fruit have antimicrobial properties to prevent the growth of test microorganisms.

This study reports on the effect of Al2O3 particles on the density of Fe-Cr metal matrix composite (MMCs) produced through PM route then sintered under hybrid microwave energy. The sample was prepared by mixing the Al2O3 particle in 3D-tubular shaker at six different weight percentage of Fe-Cr matrix started from 5 wt.% to 30 wt.% with 5% in increment. The sintering process was performed under controlled N2 atmosphere in a tubular microwave furnace. Determination of bulk density and porosity was done according to Standard Test Method ASTM B962 – 17, while ASTM E384 was used to determine the microhardness. Assessment of the sample was based on density, porosity, hardness and microstructure evaluation. The result show that incorporating the Al2O3 particle were significantly increase the microhardness, decrease the bulk density and increase the porosity of the in Fe-Cr composite.

Hospital nurses regularly bring their medicines and healthcare items to the patients using trolley. They need to push or pull the cart to the patient’s beds, and then, need to bring it back to the original position many times daily. It can be tiresome for nurses because in a day, they need to treat many patients in the hospital. Thus, many devices have been invented to assist the nurses in their daily work routines. This research is focusing on developing a nurse following mobile robot that follows and carries medical items. The mobile robot is integrated with microcontroller, Global Positioning System (GPS) module, digital compass module and Bluetooth module. To use the robot, the nurse firstly needs to connect her smartphone to the robot through Bluetooth connection. Once the connection is established, the robot will start to follow the nurse. The robot can carry a maximum load of 5 kg and uses two direct current geared motors and a caster wheel to move.
