Attitude is a key component that can influence taxpayers’ decisions whether to pay a tax or not. In the context of assessment tax, the issue of endless arrears requires careful study to be carried out on the actual attitude of taxpayers. It is because the result of the study will able to be utilized by the relevant agencies in order to develop certain actions that can form a positive attitude among the taxpayers. Therefore, this study has been conducted with the aim of identifying the actual attitude of property owners toward the assessment tax payment imposed on them. Through the survey approach, a total of 384 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents of this study. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statictic. The results of the study found there are 7 statements related to the attitude of assessment taxpayers where it revolves around two main elements, namely awareness and morality.

Braille system is a universal code for visually impaired people to read and visualize image by using their haptic sense without using their eye. Over the few centuries, with the advent of technology, numerous assistive technologies have been developed and widely accessible for the visually impaired community. However, for developing countries such as Malaysia, educational braille based and current assistive technology for visually impaired people to read and visualize such as electronic braille display still lacking. This is because a piezo bimorph actuator actuates most of the braille cell used in the commercialize braille display. This system not only complex due to arrangement of the piezo strip, but it also expensive to produce a reliable system. Moreover, it’s braille cell also has a limited feature, where it can support to display single-line sentence only due to the arrangement and nature of piezo bimorph. This paper aims to develop an electromagnetic actuator for braille cell, where it can support multiple lines of sentence, cost-effective and has the same performance as commercial braille display. Next, to determine suitable design parameters and evaluates the performance of the fabricated braille cell. An experiment is done with three levels of factors, one for the number of turns and the other is diameter which are 100, 200, and 300 turns and 0.1, 0.3, and 1.0mm. The result shows, regardless of wire diameter for coil, the minimum current required to lift the dot will remain the same for the same number of turns. A final number of turns and diameter selected is 300 turns and 0.1mm and required minimum value of current 0.08A to lift the dot. The study approaches towards the development of braille cell that used alternative actuator, which is an electromagnetic actuator to achieve more compact braille display while able to display multiline sentence.

Over the past few years, the issue of pollution from the grave is often taken into account and always become a study material and research. The most commonly used method for disposal of dead bodies and limbs is incineration. Incineration has been used for decades. Previously, biological specimen at the Hospital University of Sains Malaysia (HUSM) was disposed of through incinerators. Given that the majority of HUSM patients are Muslim societies, a method to dispose biological waste in an Islamic-compliant through burial method is proposed. In addition, incineration of dead bodies will have a bad impact on the environment and human health through the emission of toxic gases. New way has been introduced to overcome this problem by burial of formalin fixed specimen onto the soil. However, formalin preservation on specimen is a main concern. This study was done to determine the effect of the formaldehyde on the growth of the Jasminum sambac plant and the physical characteristic of the plant. The height of plant, surface area of leaf, number of leaves and flowers, colour of leaves and chlorophyll content of leaf were observed before and after the plants was treated with formaldehyde. The results obtained from this research will give valuable information on the effect of formaldehyde on the environment specifically on the plant. This study also determines whether the formalin fixed specimen by burial method give negative or positive effect to the environment. The physical characteristics of the plant after treated with formaldehyde shows a negative growth with decrease in number of leaves and flowers as well as in the surface area of leaf. Other than that, the colors of leaves changed from dark green to brownish color for the plants that treated with formaldehyde. In conclusion, formaldehyde application affected the plant and cause the physical characteristic of the plants does not grow well even with the lower concentration.

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has caused various unprecedented impacts to the whole world. In relation to this, Malaysia has enforced the Movement Control Over (MCO) starting on 18 March 2020 in order to fight the global COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and caused socio-economic shocks that left no one untouched. The pandemic also has forced all employees, including academicians, to practice Work from Home (WFH). In relation to this, the implementation of e-learning may incur academicians’ acceptance that might be influenced by their attitudes towards internet connection, utilizing electronic equipment, and others to ensure an effective e-learning process. This study is aimed to examine the effects of gender, age, and internet competency on internet usage among academicians during the MCO. A total of 223 respondents participated in this study through a purposive sampling method which was conducted among academicians using an online questionnaire. Chi-square analysis was performed to examine the association among genders, age groups, and internet competency with internet usage. The results of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between the respondents’ genders and internet competency on internet usage among academicians during the MCO (χ2 = 0.002, p 0.05). In a situation where the country is facing the COVID-19 pandemic and the MCO, the use of the internet has become very important. This study also found that there are differences in internet usage among respondents of different genders and levels of efficiency. But when the online learning method was implemented, all academicians were no exception. Therefore, the age difference of academicians was found not to affect the use of the internet. Future studies by adding more respondents among teachers and those from private institutions are recommended, other than focusing on attitudes and perceptions which will benefit various parties, especially the academicians.
新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)给全世界造成了各种前所未有的影响。为此，马来西亚已于2020年3月18日起实施行动管制，以应对全球COVID-19大流行。COVID-19夺去了数十万人的生命，造成了社会经济冲击，没有一个人能幸免。疫情还迫使包括院士在内的所有员工实行在家工作(WFH)。与此相关，实施电子学习可能会引起院士的接受，这可能受到他们对互联网连接、利用电子设备和其他确保有效的电子学习过程的态度的影响。本研究旨在探讨性别、年龄和网络能力对网络使用的影响。本研究采用有目的的抽样方法，采用在线问卷调查的方式在院士中进行，共有223名受访者参与了本研究。采用卡方分析检验性别、年龄、网络能力与网络使用的关系。研究结果显示，被调查者的性别与大学生网络能力之间存在显著的相关关系(χ2 = 0.002, p 0.05)。在国家面临COVID-19大流行和文化部的情况下，互联网的使用变得非常重要。本研究还发现，不同性别和效率水平的受访者在互联网使用方面存在差异。但当在线学习方法实施后，所有的院士都不例外。因此，我们发现院士的年龄差异并不影响网络的使用。建议在未来的研究中增加更多的教师和私立机构的受访者，而不是关注态度和看法，这将有利于各方，特别是院士。

Local government (LG) is an agency that has been empowered through legal provisions to impose the assessment tax. Thus, it directly causes the affairs of tax administration to be parked under the scope and jurisdiction of the LGs. Assessment tax arrear is a long-standing issue that has been faced by the LGs. From time to time, the crisis of assessment tax arrears is considered as getting worse and it requires various proactive actions to be taken including re-evaluating the current administrative process of assessment tax as it is practicising by the LGs. The main purpose of this study is to identify the factors which related to tax administration that has influenced the existence of assessment tax arrears based on the perspective of taxpayers. This study also aims to assess the strength of the relationship between each of the factors involved. The required data were collected through a survey method and a set of related questionnaire form was used as a research instrument. The respondents of this study are consisting of property owners who are subject to pay the assessment tax. In overall, this study has involved 261 respondents. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and correlation methods. The findings of the study show that there are 8 administrative related factors that have influenced the existence of assessment tax arrears, namely taxation equality and justice, tax beliefs, tax expertise, staff adequacy, payment facility, transparency of services, tax incentives and tax communication. Through this study as well, it was found all the factors have a significant relationship with most of other factors.

The effect of lanthanum doping with different concentrations of lanthanum to dope with barium titanate (BaTiO3) was studied. All the samples of Ba1-xLaxTiO3 with x = 0, 0.0005, 0.0010 and 0.0030 are prepared through the conventional solid-state reaction. XRD is used to determine the purity and to evaluate crystal chemistry of the prepared samples. Impedance spectroscopy analysis is used to analyse the impedance data of the Ba1-xLaxTiO3 and study the changes with different concentration of lanthanum doped after the samples are sintered at 1450°C for 4 hours. From the results, the dielectric constant is frequency-dependent where the higher the frequency, the lower the dielectric constant, and the Curie temperature, Tc is decreased from 393 K to 383K by increasing the dopant concentration of lanthanum into BaTiO3.

Passiflora quadrangularis commonly known as giant granadilla bear largest fruit (∼1-3 kg) with edible fleshy rind in its genus. In recent years, this fruit has gained popularity and planted together with the well-known purple passion fruit. Despite its expansion, scientific research has not upheld with the pre- and postharvest handling of this fruit. Theherefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the optimum harvest maturity and ripening potential of P. quadrangularis. The optimum harvesting period of this fruit was 55 to 60 days after anthesis (DAA). Fruits harvested on day 55 are suitable for cooking as vegetables as melon species. However, fruits harvested at day 60 were ideal for consumption as fresh, both mesocarp and pulp. At ripening (day 60) the mesocarp fruit firmness was 3.33±0.10N, with total soluble solid of the pulp was 14.57±0.33°Brix. Pulp and mesocarp pH also increased slightly at maturation, 3.76±0.21 and 5.14±0.02, respectively. Passiflora quadrangularis also known to be non-climacteric fruit as it cannot ripen after being picked from the vine. At storage fruits that harvested from day 50 and 55 after anthesis that treated with ethylene were enhanced surface yellow pigmentation after 4-7 days of treatment. The present study documented detailed pre-harvesting stages for P. quadrangularis which are crucial for provide optimum marketable qualities of this fruit as well as export purposes.

For instance some reported with Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu (SAC0307) when alloyed with 0.12 Al2O3 it showed an improved shear force of thermal cycling when it came to the mode of ductile fracture in comparison to the original alloy which possess a mode of fracture that presented a mixture between ductile and brittle.","PeriodicalId":259202,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF 8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED MATERIALS ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY (ICAMET 2020)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128206690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The advancement of technology and rapid growth in the number of internet users throughout the world has been pushing people to do all sorts of transactions online. This move towards digitization requires banking services to be automated and online. With its dream to become a digital nation by 2021, Bangladesh is striving hard to enter into the world market online. Hence, though late, banks in Bangladesh have started their I-banking services. However, the acceptance level of users is essential to understand before its full-fledged implementation. Thus, this study aims at explaining the determinants of internet banking with extended Technology Adoption Model (TAM) as the base. Though a good number of studies have already been undertaken using TAM, the study is justified in the sense that it would mitigate the research gap considering two country-specific variables like security and privacy risk. The variables are selected on the backdrop concerning the absence of a strict regulation for the use of the internet and a much-talked issue of internet speed and quality in Bangladesh. A questionnaire survey has been conducted among the internet users to identify the determinants of the intention to use I-banking (IUIB) and hence the adoption of it. A total of 200 questionnaires have been administrated using three different forms called an in-person survey, postal mail and google form. Out of 200 questionnaires, 150 fully completed and usable questionnaires have been received with a success rate of 75%. All the independent variables called perceived usefulness; perceived ease of Use, perceived enjoyment, access to information, security and privacy (S.P.) and quality of internet connection (QIC) are found to be significant in explaining the users’ IUIB. The IUIB is also found to be highly significant to explain the -banking Adoption by the users. The country-specific variable like the S.P. has a negative impact on I-banking adoption while the QIC found to have a positive impact in Bangladesh context. Hence, the study recommends the policymakers of Bangladesh to initiate strong laws for protecting the security of data over the internet with a special urge to the telecommunication regulatory authority and telecom companies to ensure technology infrastructure for high speed and smooth internet services.
