Working from home or teleworking has become a common practice for most office employees during certain special situations such as pandemic. One of the challenges faced by employers, however, is monitoring workers who are working from home. Webcam, live video feed, or mobile phone tracking deemed to be intrusive. Therefore, in this work, a non-intrusive monitoring approach is used to effectively help employers to keep track of teleworking employees through specific electrical appliances operating condition while maintaining users’ privacies. This strategy uses non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) approach to recognize four electrical appliances’ switching events used during teleworking measured from a single power point. Together with an event classification method known as K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) algorithm, the teleworking event and duration can be identified. The results were presented using classification metrics that consist of confusion matrix and accuracy score. An accuracy of up to 62% has been achieved for the classifier. It is observed that the similarity of appliances’ power usage affects the model accuracy and confusion matrix is constructed to help identify the number of events that are correctly classified as well as wrongly classified. Results from NILM and k-NN strategy can be implemented in the smart city towards sustainability to create a sustainable and employees well-being. It is also useful for an organization to evaluate an employee’s performance who opt for teleworking. ABSTRAK: Bekerja dari rumah telah menjadi amalan biasa bagi kebanyakan pekerja-pekerja pejabat semasa situasi khas tertentu seperti wabak penyakit. Salah satu cabaran yang dihadapi oleh para majikan, adalah memantau para pekerja yang bekerja dari rumah. Kamera web, suapan video langsung atau penjejakan telefon mudah alih adalah dianggap mengganggu privasi. Oleh itu, dalam kajian ini, pendekatan pemantauan tidak mengganggu privasi digunakan untuk membantu para majikan dengan berkesan menjejak para pekerja yang bekerja dari rumah melalui keadaan operasi peralatan-peralatan elektrik tertentu sambil mengekalkan privasi pengguna. Strategi ini menggunakan pendekatan pemantauan beban elektrik tanpa gangguan (NILM) untuk mengenali empat situasi pensuisan peralatan-peralatan elektrik yang digunakan semasa bekerja dari rumah diukur dari satu titik kuasa. Bersama-sama dengan kaedah-kaedah pengkelasan situation yang dikenali sebagai algoritma K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), acara bekerja dari rumah dan tempoh boleh dikenal pasti. Keputusan telah dibentangkan menggunakan metrik klasifikasi yang terdiri daripada matriks kekeliruan dan skor ketepatan. Ketepatan sehingga 62% telah dicapai untuk pengkelasan. Adalah diperhatikan bahawa persamaan penggunaan kuasa peralatan-peralatan elektrik mempengaruhi ketepatan model dan matriks kekeliruan dibina untuk membantu mengenal pasti bilangan peristiwa yang dikelaskan dengan betul serta dikelaskan secara salah.

This study seeks to explore Mulyadhi Kartanegara's idea of Indigenous Islamic Environmentalism. It is called indigenous because, in Mulyadhi's perspective, there is a problem with uprooting Muslims from their intellectual tradition (indigenous knowledge). For Mulyadhi, this disconnection provides an opportunity for the inclusion of a materialistic western conception of cosmology and influences the perspective of Muslims in general. Because of this trend, the behavior of Muslims towards nature is not much different from modern humans in general, who view nature as an object that can be exploited without limits. To fight the tendency of this dominating relationship, Mulyadhi attempted to formulate alternative ecological ideas based on inspiration from the indigenous Islamic intellectual tradition that developed in the medieval Islamic world: the views of the Ikhwan Al-Shafa/ brethren of purity (peripatetic tradition) and Rumi (gnosis tradition). The ecological ideas developed by Mulyadhi centered on the theistic evolutionary concept of the universe. For Mulyadhi, this universe is a living entity and has a strong sense of love for God. The reason is, the love that nature has is divine, seeking perfection. At the same time, God is a perfect being itself. In this context, the universe with its love carries out a transformative motion to get closer to God. One of the fruits of this transformative movement is humans, who the Ikhwan position as a microcosm. The reason is that the nature of the universe is wholly contained in humans (minerals, vegetable souls, animal souls, and rational souls). However, Rumi states that man is a macrocosm because he is the vital goal of the transformation process, like fruit (man) produced from the tree of life (nature). So, for Mulyadhi, humans are the essential evolutionary stage of the universe, like the mouth to the body. At the peak of creation, humans are expected to be the liaison between God and the universe. With the help of a human, the universe can feel the blessings of this divine connection. As an inseparable part of nature, humans also become a kind of mirror that will reflect the natural reality outside of themselves. If the inner state of a human being experiences darkness, it will also impact the destruction of nature or vice versa. So, this ecological idea demands the transformation of the human soul as a prerequisite for overcoming environmental problems. The change in question is the continuity of human spiritual Evolution (trans cosmic voyage), which will give birth to a new person termed Insan Kamil (the perfect man), namely humans who can "manifest" the attributes of God in everyday life. Using Harari term, Insan Kamil (the perfect man) is a "Spiritual" Homo Deus. ABSTRAK: Penelitian ini berupaya menggali gagasan Mulyadhi Kartanegara tentang Environmentalisme Islam yang bersifat indigeneous. Disebut indigeneous karena dalam pandangan Mulyadhi ada persoalan mencabut umat Islam dari tradisi intelektua
作为大自然不可分割的一部分,人类成为了一面镜子,在自身之外折射出大自然的现实。因此,如果人类的内心经历黑暗,就会自动影响到对自然的破坏,反之亦然。因此,本土生态学思想要求将人类精神的转变作为克服环境问题的先决条件。所谓变革,就是人类精神层面继续进化的紧迫性(超宇宙航行),这将催生一种被称为 Insan Kamil(完美的人)的新人类,即能够在日常生活中 "实现 "上帝属性的人类。借用哈拉里的说法,Insan Kamil(完美的人)可以说是具有灵性的神人的一种表现形式。

ABSTRACT: Environmental concerns and shortages of electricity and battery capacity limitations have prompted efforts aimed at the mass production of biodegradable materials. Renewable energy from solar trap heat is the optimal way to prevent climate change and decarbonization. The new technology of the EV body made with Al2O3 Epoxy Resin (ER) filler sandwiched by Carbon Fiber and Lithium thin plates is an advanced technology used to generate electricity by trapping solar heat. The developed laboratory-scale model car body will be able to generate 15% energy from the 8.46 kWh battery pack and reduce 20% of the 30-kWh traction power by reducing 15% of the car's total weight of 1800 kg. Furthermore, the proposed body is very environmentally friendly as it can be easily recycled for new products. Based on the overall benefits, the proposed car body has the potential to reduce oil dependence and environmental emissions. However, the main limiting factors are thermal behavior and ionic conductivity at high temperatures. ABSTRAK: Kebimbangan alam sekitar dan kekurangan tenaga elektrik dan had kapasiti bateri telah mendorong usaha yang bertujuan untuk pengeluaran besar-besaran bahan terbiodegradasi.

In the ancient medical manuscripts, there were many medical remedies and ingredients used to treat certain diseases. However, the presence of materia medica in medical manuscripts to treat cataract is still intriguing and has not been fully explored. This review aims to identify the most common material medica and its formulation in treating cataract in the Malay medical manuscript as well as to identify its published scientific support. Method: This study involves a qualitative descriptive analysis on Malay Medical Manuscripts and articles of scientific journals to obtain data, based on a scoping review. Results: The common materia medica in cataract treatment stated in the Malay Medical Manuscripts are citrus and biles. The frequency of both ingredients being mentioned in the manuscripts are 3 times each across 6 Malay Medical Manuscripts, which contain 10 formulations on cataract. Conclusion: The commonly mentioned material medica in the manuscript such as citrus and biles may become a potential material for further scientific investigation in treating cataract.

Background: Patients with hip fractures frequently face the problem of a longer stay in the ward after surgery and being readmitted, falls, and being unable to carry out daily activities after discharge from the hospital. A nursing discharge plan is widely recognised as one of the strategies for addressing these issues. In Malaysia, however, it is unknown for patients with hip fractures. As a result, this study was carried out to investigate the impact of nursing discharge planning on patients with hip fractures in Hospital Melaka, Malaysia. Methods: A total of 58 patients aged 50 years and above in the orthopaedic ward of Hospital Melaka were randomised using sealed envelopes to the intervention group (n = 29) and the control group (n = 29). The intervention group received an adapted nursing discharge plan with health education activities in the form of pamphlets and oral instructions within 24 hours of ward admission until discharge while the control group received routine discharge practices. Demographic data were taken from the study subjects while clinical data and length of stay in the ward were taken from the subjects’ medical records before discharge. After one month discharged, data for ward readmission rate and drop rate were taken from the subject's medical records while data for the subject's daily life activities were obtained through telephone calls using The Barthel Index survey form. Results: The results of the study showed that the intervention group had a shorter ward stay (U = 254.00, p = 0.008) and a higher level of independence than the control group (U = 205.00, p = 0.001). The control group had 100% of subjects who were not able to be independent in daily activities of life compared to 75.9% of the intervention group (p <0.05). Conclusion: A nursing discharge plan including a health education component starting from the patient's admission to the ward until before the discharge should be considered in the nursing practice. It could facilitate better discharge outcomes for patients with hip fractures.
背景:髋部骨折患者经常面临术后住院时间较长、再次入院、跌倒、出院后不能进行日常活动等问题。护理出院计划被广泛认为是解决这些问题的策略之一。然而,在马来西亚,髋部骨折患者的情况尚不清楚。因此,本研究旨在探讨护理出院计划对马来西亚马六甲医院髋部骨折患者的影响。方法:将58例50岁及以上的马六甲医院骨科病房患者采用密封信封随机分为干预组(n = 29)和对照组(n = 29)。干预组患者在入院至出院前24小时内接受调整后的护理出院计划,其中包括以小册子和口头指导形式进行健康教育活动;对照组患者接受常规出院操作。人口统计数据来自研究对象,而临床数据和住院时间则来自研究对象出院前的病历。出院1个月后,从受试者的病历中获取再入院率和住院率数据,并通过电话使用the Barthel Index调查表获取受试者的日常生活活动数据。结果:研究结果显示,干预组住院时间较对照组短(U = 254.00, p = 0.008),独立性水平较对照组高(U = 205.00, p = 0.001)。对照组患者不能独立生活的比例为100%,干预组为75.9% (p <0.05)。结论:在护理实践中应考虑制定出院护理计划,包括从患者入院到出院前的健康教育内容。它可以促进髋部骨折患者更好的出院结果。

Integration of knowledge and ideas in reality is increasingly becoming relevant as the call for transdisciplinary gains momentum in recent times especially in the face of many global changes. The search for long-term, sustainable solutions ought to be multidisciplinary in nature so as to provide transformative changes, rather than an incremental and linear alternative. For example, the severity of the climate crisis demands a change in the conventional framework to one that is more impactful with a radical outcome. Open innovative approaches that cover beyond technological outcomes to enable social, communal and institutional dimensions are imperative for a success sustainable change as the real-world drivers in the transformational process. This means the need for an integration of knowledge and ideas through both multi- and transdisciplinary approaches are crucial in delivering the oft quoted goal of “no one left behind” – an global objective in embracing the overarching goal for humanity as depicted in 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Background: Patients who were hospitalised with severe COVID-19 infection could progress to severe conditions due to various factors, whereas some patients may recover to mild conditions quickly. There was limited information regarding characteristics and factors affecting disease progression in this population in Malaysia. This study aimed to investigate patient characteristics and risk factors contributing to disease progression among COVID-19 patients during hospitalisation. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study using electronic medical record data from COVID-19 patients admitted to two public hospitals in East Coast Malaysia from February 2020 to August 2021 was conducted. This study included patients with asymptomatic or mild condition (stage 1 – stage 3) upon hospital admission and progressed to severe condition (stage 4 – stage 5) during hospitalisation. Results: A total of 163 patients were included (57% male) with the age of (mean±SD, 62.3 ±14.0 years). Multivariable logistic regression associated with COVID-19 disease progression included elderly (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.04, 1.08; p = ≤0.05), diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.27; 95% CI, 1.27, 4.06; p = 0.006), chronic kidney disease (OR, 4.87; 95% CI, 1.92, 12.38; p=0.001), and presented with more than three COVID-19 symptoms (OR, 9.80; 95% CI, 6.08-15.81, p = ≤0.05). Conclusion: Risk factors for COVID-19 disease progression included elderly patients, comorbidities of diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease or more than three COVID-19 symptoms. Close monitoring and early intervention should be implemented for these patients to prevent the disease progression and poor prognosis.
