This paper attempts to rediscover the temporalities of Kedai Pati and its unchanging relationship with the old city of Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Much of the existence of this locally renowned ‘third place’ interfaces between work and life due to its direct connection with urban development. Kedai pati (‘pigeon stall’) is said to be part of the locality in Kota Baru township for more than fifty years, providing a distinctive experience of nostalgia. Kedai Pati is perceived as a valuable space for the local working men to informally attend on the regular or irregularly. At present day, Kedai Pati still survives with its signature theatrical-service pantry operation, seller-buyer social setting, that is part of a unique ambience considered as Kelantan’s cultural heritage. Mapping the remaining locations of the kedai pati around the urban settings of current Kota Bharu Town Centre will indicate the strategic foci of nodal gastronomic places for the public to have access to. Information derived from this work can be useful for future planning and development in both urban and rural Malaysian context.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) discloses the social responsibility of a company in contributing to the quality improvement of the community and society. Currently, the banking industries put into concern on this social responsibility as well as CSR report as environmental issues that leveraging the economic business performance through the application of the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) framework. The number of the organization using this framework has increased. Unfortunately, several weaknesses have been reviewed on the adoption of this framework as a sustainability report. Therefore, this study tried to strengthening the GRI model by elaborating on the indicators and sub-indicators of GRI-4 to measure the priority weighted-based indicators thus it is utilized to rank the banking performance. Herein, the decision support system-based analytical network process (ANP) is applied to assess standard criteria of the GRI sustainability report as a side of economic, social, and environmental aspects. Three banking companies in Indonesia have been selected as alternatives and then analyzed based on its sustainability report as well as performance measurement. Twenty-four experts from academicians and practices have been asked their quantitative perspectives and weighting score of the criteria through the dissemination of the questionnaire. This study reveals the performance of banking companies following the realization of the CSR position. Thus, the financial services authority of Indonesia (OJK) as an Indonesian government agency is advised on the decision-making on the potential banking performance that more pay attention to environmental sustainability. Besides, the employment of the ANP method in this study can strengthen and accomplish the shortcoming of the GRI model in determining the sustainability report.
企业社会责任(Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR)是指企业为改善社区和社会质量所承担的社会责任。目前，银行业对这种社会责任以及企业社会责任报告作为环境问题的关注，通过应用全球报告倡议组织(GRI)框架来杠杆化经济经营绩效。使用该框架的组织数量有所增加。不幸的是，在采用这一框架作为可持续发展报告时审查了若干弱点。因此，本研究试图通过细化GRI-4的指标和子指标来强化GRI模型，以衡量优先级加权指标，从而利用GRI-4对银行绩效进行排名。本文将基于决策支持系统的分析网络过程(ANP)作为经济、社会和环境方面的一个方面，应用于评估GRI可持续发展报告的标准标准。印度尼西亚的三家银行公司被选为备选方案，然后根据其可持续发展报告和绩效评估进行分析。通过发放调查问卷，24位来自学术界和实践领域的专家被问及他们的定量观点和标准的加权得分。本研究揭示了银行公司在实现企业社会责任定位后的绩效。因此，建议印度尼西亚金融服务管理局(OJK)作为印度尼西亚政府机构对潜在的银行绩效进行决策，更多地关注环境的可持续性。此外，本研究采用ANP方法可以加强和弥补GRI模型在确定可持续报告方面的不足。

The use of foam and expanded polystyrene (EPS) in concrete can significantly reduce the density of concrete. The composition of lightweight concrete consists of Portland composite cement, expanded polystyrene, water, and foam. The ratio of the composition used is 1:2.75 for cement and aggregate, 1:40 for foaming agent and water, and 0.485 for W/C. The expanded polystyrene sizes used are 1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm. All specimens were cured for 28 days. The concrete test results at 28 days provided compressive strengths of 6.64 MPa, 5.53 MPa, 3.73 MPa, and 13.58 MPa, as well as density of 886 kg/m3, 830 kg/m3, 782 kg/m3, and 1,870 kg/m3 for mixtures of LWC-1, LWC-2, LWC-3, and Normal Mortar. The aim of this research was the performance of lightweight concrete with EPS by determining the durability, density, and the compressive strength using a 5% hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. In the previous studies, the EPS had been heated before mixed. In this study, the EPS had not been heated and directly used in the mixing process. The lightweight concrete with EPS was very potential to reduce structure mass then resulted in a lower earthquake loads on the structures. There were three different conditions of treatment for the specimens that were open room, completely immersing in HCl 5%, and cyclic. The durability of lightweight concrete was determined during 28 and 56 days of immersion in HCl solution to obtain the results of reduced compressive strength and density. The condition III showed the most significant reduction in density and compressive strength at the age of 56 days immersion. The normal mortar has the best durability when compared to all LWCs, with a reduction of density and compressive strength of 14.08% and 32.88%, while the LWC-1 showed the best durability with a reduction in density and compressive strength of 18.41% and 35.44%.

Smoking has become a comman practice in society today. Various initiatives have been taken to reduce smoker populations in the country but almost all doesn’t work. The introduction and imposition of a ban on smoking in public spaces especially on food premises introduced by the Ministry of Health Malaysia have received positive and negative responses from consumers. This study was conducted to determine the level of consumers’ awareness of the implications of smoking on health; and the level of consumers’ acceptance of smoking ban instructions on food premises. At the same time, the study also aimed at determining the food premis owners’ perceptions of no smoking instructions at food premises. A total of 500 consumers at the food premises and 50 food premis owner were selected as a sample. Findings indicate that the level of knowledge about the implications of smoking on health was high (mean = 3.54) and that respondents’ level of acceptance of smoking ban instructions was also high (mean = 3.13). The analysis also showed that there was a significant relationship between the level of respondents’ knowledge of the implications of smoking and the prohibition of smoking imposed on food premises with a value of r = 0.728 at a significant level p = 0.000 level. Meanwhile, most food premis owners say that smoking bans on food premises do not affect their business performance, and Pearson’s correlation findings also indicate that there is a weak relationship between smoking bans and business performance.

Nowadays, despite having many post-harvest technologies being introduced to the farmers in helping to maintain crop shelf life, the percentage of post-harvest losses is still high. Although the phenomenon of new post-harvest technology acceptance has been well appreciated, the increasing characteristics phenomenon of technology rejection is yet to be understood and studied. The objective of this study is to determine the factors influencing post-harvest technology acceptance among fruit vegetables farmers in the East Coast Economic Region (ECER). A structured questionnaire was designed based on combinations of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behaviour. This study has employed a simple random sampling technique in selecting 105 fruit vegetables in ECER to answer the questionnaire. The findings indicate that fruit vegetable farmers in ECER have accepted the post-harvest technology, but they do not use and apply the technology. The factors derived which are perceived usefulness (M = 4.11, SD = 0.622), perceived ease of use (M = 3.84, SD = 0.588) and attitude (M = 3.89, SD = 0.680) have all shown a high mean score. The findings of this study emphasise on the factor that influencing technology acceptance in improving and maintaining the quality of fruits vegetables to reduce the post-harvest losses.

Adding small amount of graphene oxide (GO) into heat transfer fluids has been found to enhance thermophysical properties of the fluids. Nevertheless, the efficiency a GO-based nanofluid for heat transfer application is depending on ability of the GO to stay disperse in the base fluid. Realizing this, the present study investigated the long-term colloidal stability (up to 2 days) of GO upon added into different types of commonly used heat transfer fluids. Results showed that GO can be dispersed in distilled water, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and ethanol upon subjected to sonication. However, rapid agglomeration and sedimentation of the GO in ethanol medium rendering it a less effective heat transfer nanofluid. On the other hand, GO nanoparticles were observed to be highly stable in both ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, possibly due to protic nature of these two base fluids. In fact, the GO nanoparticles were found to be ~100 % and > 82 % stable in ethylene glycol and propylene glycol-rich medium, respectively; a condition much better than the one dispersed in distilled water medium. Interestingly, it was found that the GO failed to disperse in engine oil which made up of non-polar hydrocarbon chain, hence, suggested its poor compatibility with this type of heat transfer fluid. It is envisaged that outcome from the present work can provide a proper guideline on the selection of suitable fluid for making GO-based heat transfer fluid.

It is envisaged that outcome from the present work can provide a proper guideline on the selection of suitable fluid for making GO-based heat transfer fluid.","PeriodicalId":259202,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF 8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED MATERIALS ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY (ICAMET 2020)","volume":"46 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":"123892699","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}

A questionnaire is a vital research instrument consisting of a series of questions for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. Most psychological research required an instrument that shall be valid and reliable to investigate that particular study’s intended variables. Eventually, such an instrument that fits the study is very rare. So, a need was felt to develop a suitable and reliable tool for the same purpose. To develop an instrument for measuring variables, i.e., Integrated Management System and Innovation Performance, and to test its reliability and validity. A draft of the 59-item scale was developed, which comprises 14 items in the demographics section and 45 measurement items. The tool’s content validity was established by accepting items that range in between 75% to 90% of the validity index for each item. To test the instrument’s reliability, a pilot study was conducted where the instrument is applied to 30 respondents representing 30 different organisations involved in building construction. The instrument passes the content validity with an index of .78 while it has no significant face validity issues. Statistical analyses showed excellent internal consistency by Cronbach’s alpha which all variables are above 0.8. The instrument has acceptable properties (i.e., valid and reliable) and is suitable for measuring the intended variables, i.e., IMS and IP. It is recommended to be further tested for construct validity.
