Sistem Pengurusan Pemarkahan Projek Disertasi Sarjana Sains Keselamatan Siber dan Pengurusan (SSKSP) merupakan satu sistem yang memudahkan penyelia dan penilai dalam proses pengiraan markah bagi Projek Disertasi. Sistem ini digunakan oleh penyelaras, penyelia dan penilai. Tujuan utama pembangunan sistem ini kerana penyelia dan penilai masih menggunakan pengiraan secara manual iaitu mengisi markah pada borang pemarkahan. Kaedah merekod markah secara manual melalui sistem pemfailan ini adalah kurang efektif dan tidak praktikal. Hal ini kerana ia menggunakan borang yang dicetak di atas kertas di mana penilai dan penyelia boleh melakukan kesilapan dari segi keciciran maklumat atau tersilap mengira markah pelajar. System ini dibangunkan berdasarkan model Rapid Application Development (RAD). Sistem ini membolehkan penyelia dan penilai melakukan proses penilaian markah secara sistematik di atas talian. Selain itu, penyelaras, penyelia dan penilai dapat menjana laporan pemarkahan pelajar menggunakan sistem ini untuk tujuan dokumentasi. Selain itu, laporan keseluruhan markah juga dapat dijanakan oleh sistem ini bagi tujuan pelaporan. Bagi perisian dan perkakasan, sistem ini menggunakan PHP, Notepad++ dan XAMPP untuk membina sistem ini. Selain itu, mySQL pula digunakan untuk menguruskan pangkalan data. Secara keseluruhannya, sistem ini berjaya mengikuti objektif dan menyelesaikan masalah berdasarkan ujian yang dijalankan.

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

One of the primary concerns in higher education is the early identification of underperforming students. To address this issue, the current study proposes the development of a system that would assist academic advisers and faculty management to identifying students at risk of low academic performance at an early stage. This system utilises a prediction model based on a dataset of academic and demographic data from the UPNM’s Computer Science students. The dataset contains information from 97 students and 21 characteristics. We developed a prediction model for Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) using the regression technique, focusing on three variables: 'activity', 'absence', and 'GPA'. The prototype model was used in the system development process. The study's findings are valuable for the institution (university), since they enable for the early identification of those who may struggle academically. Future enhancements include increasing the dataset and using more powerful algorithms to predict kids' academic achievement.

Enhancement of Wound Healing Efficiency Using Fish Scale Gelatin Combined with Silk Sericin

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Our project focused on creating a natural wound dressing by blending gelatin extracted from Nile tilapia fish scales with herbal extracts, particularly turmeric. The goal was to address issues like excessive bleeding and bacterial infections, especially those caused by drug-resistant strains like Staphylococcus aureus. By harnessing the healing power of curcumin, the key component in turmeric, known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, we developed a hydrogel that promotes faster healing while also preventing infections. To make the dressing, we extracted gelatin from the fish scales using a mild acid solution and incorporated calcium chloride to strengthen the structure of the hydrogel. This made the material more durable and practical for wound care. We tested its ability to fight bacteria, stop bleeding, and help wounds heal more quickly. Our results were promising. The hydrogel successfully stopped bleeding in a short time and promoted significant cell migration, which means it helps wounds heal faster. Additionally, it demonstrated strong antibacterial properties, effectively inhibiting the growth of S. aureus. Overall, this project highlights the potential of using natural and sustainable materials in medical applications. The combination of fish scale gelatin and herbal extracts created a multifunctional wound dressing that not only speeds up the healing process but also protects against.

This research focuses on utilizing Tannin extract from Indian Almond leaves to develop acne patches made from discarded silkworm cocoons. The goal is to explore the antibacterial properties of Tannin in addressing acne and to create a natural, eco-friendly skincare product. The process began by extracting Tannin from the Indian Almond leaves, which were boiled in distilled water and then diluted to different concentrations (100%, 50%, 25%, and 12.5%). The antibacterial effectiveness was tested using the disc diffusion method under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. For comparison, antibiotics like Azithromycin, Roxithromycin, and Vancomycin were used as controls, while distilled water served as the negative control. The results indicated that the 100% Tannin extract had the highest antibacterial efficiency under anaerobic conditions, comparable to Vancomycin. Roxithromycin was the most effective in both oxygen conditions, but the Tannin extract, particularly at 100% concentration, showed promising results as well. In the next phase, discarded silk fibers were processed to extract Fibroin, which was used to create acne patches. Two types of patches were made: one with just Fibroin and the other with a 1:1 mix of Fibroin and Tannin extract. These patches were tested under the same oxygen conditions to assess their antibacterial properties, with Roxithromycin as the control. The results showed that the Fibroin-Tannin acne patch performed similarly to Roxithromycin in inhibiting acne-causing bacteria, demonstrating its potential as a natural alternative for acne treatment. In conclusion, the combination of Fibroin from discarded silkworm cocoons and Tannin extract from Indian Almond leaves can produce an effective, environmentally friendly acne treatment. This study not only highlights a sustainable approach to reducing waste from the silk and agricultural industries but also provides a viable option for natural skincare solutions that benefit both consumers and the environment.

Clay sticks from the crude extract of Zingiber ottensii Valeton to inhibit the growth of Dermatophytes which are the cause of allergic rashes on the skin

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis), Body ringworm (Tinea corporis), Jock itch (Tinea cruris), etc. These are diseases accumulated from fungi occurring on the skin, these types of fungi are classified in a group called Dermatophytes. At present, there are numerous options for treatment such as doctor appointments or using anti-fungal agents such as Clotrimazole of which when used for an extended amount of time can cause many side effects to the area of skin applied on such as rashes, hives, blisters etc. To provide an alternative, the project organizers have decided to study Zingiber ottensii Valeton’s fungal inhibition properties via crude extracts, due to it being easily found in the local area of Chiang Mai province and are cheap. Clay sticks being a popular form of skin care due to its compact and easy to carry nature makes it a perfect fit to make as a product from the crude extracts of Zingiber ottensii Valeton. The study shows that the crude extract from Zingiber ottensii Valeton showed anti-fungal properties and were effective in inhibiting the growth of Dermatophytes but weren’t as effective as the standard drug Clotrimazole. With that being said, the crude extracts of Zingiber ottensii Valeton were still suitable to make as a clay stick product.

A Conceptual Model of Perceived Risk-Based Maintenance Management for Public Schools

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The declining condition of public-school facilities is a serious concern, as poor maintenance not only affects safety but also impacts the overall learning experience for students. Many current maintenance practices do not effectively address the challenges of ageing infrastructure, such as performance issues, budget constraints, safety risks, and operational disruptions. These challenges highlight the need for a better approach to maintenance management. This research presents a new model called the perceived risk-based maintenance management (PRBMM) model, which helps prioritize maintenance tasks based on the risks associated with school facilities. The authors identify four key factors—performance, financial, safety, and operational risks—that influence how these risks are perceived. By focusing on these factors, the model offers a clear framework for improving maintenance in public schools. Implementing the PRBMM model is expected to lead to safer school environments, better facility performance, and more sustainable infrastructure. Moreover, this model can be used in various educational institutions and adapted for other sectors facing similar challenges. This study aims to fill a need in current maintenance practices by providing a straightforward framework that improves facility management and safety. The PRBMM model offers a practical solution that can be applied across different sectors needing effective maintenance management.

Understanding Human-AI Interaction in Healthcare: The Mediating Role of Trust and Moderating Influence of Cognitive Load

Isparan Shanthi, Ai-Na Seow, Jing-Jing Chang — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare is often hindered by a lack of trust among healthcare professionals, impacting the effectiveness of Human-AI interaction. This study examines how Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) influence trust in AI, with trust mediating the relationship between these constructs and Human-AI interaction in healthcare settings. Additionally, the researcher investigates the moderating role of Cognitive Load, positing that higher cognitive demands may weaken the positive effects of trust on Human-AI interaction. By surveying doctors, nurses, and medical technicians in Malaysia, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics. It is expected to find that increased PU and PEOU enhance trust, leading to improved Human-AI interaction, while Cognitive Load may diminish the strength of this relationship. Anticipated findings will underscore the importance of designing AI systems that are intuitive, beneficial, and mindful of cognitive demands to optimise healthcare outcomes and clinician support. This research holds significant commercialisation potential as healthcare organisations increasingly seek AI solutions that enhance trust and facilitate effective collaboration between humans and AI.
