Authors: GÜNERLİ Ender , BAYRAMOĞLU Melih , GEREN Necdet
Published: December 2022

Untransformed austenite during quenching process is known as retained austeinite. The quantitative determination of the retained austenite is of great importance to the steel mechanical properties. Its percentage has a large effect on the mechanical properties and service life of components. The amount of retained austenite in through-hardened tool steels should be kept at its optimum level in order to minimize size change, and increase service life. In this study, the influence of tempering temperature on the amount of retained austenite was evaluated by using X-ray diffraction phase analyses. It was seen that tempering at low temperatures resulted in small amount of retained austenite for the studied steel.

Published: December 2022

The existing quicksands in the desert are among the problematic soils whose stabilization has been considered by experts. Emulsion bitumen is one of the environmentally friendly stabilizers of these sands. Also, the method of reinforcement with (fibers) has many advantages due to the increase in soilstrength in the same way and the formation of thickness in the soil mass. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of polypropylene fibers and emulsion bitumen on improving sandy soil properties and the effect of freeze-thaw cycles on the behavior of soils stabilized by these two substances; For this purpose, samples of aeolian sand soil with 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% waste polypropylene fibers of 0, 5, 10, 15% bitumen emulsion were made and tested for California load-bearing capacity and uniaxial compressive strength. Also, to evaluate the effect of freeze-thaw cycle, the samples were subjected to uniaxial resistance test after enduring 3 and 7 freeze-thaw cycle. The results show that the addition of fibers and bitumen to the sand first increases the specific gravity and CBR and decreases from one percent onwards by increasing the fibers of these two parameters; It has compressive strength and ultimate strain with increasing fiber percentage; In general, increasing the percentage of fibers from 0to 1% on average increases the compressive strength by 91% and the final strain by 54% and increasing the percentage of bitumen from 5 to 15% on average increases the compressive strength by 4% and the final strain by 13%. In addition, the results show that the compressive strength of the samples decreases by an average of 15% and 19% after withstanding 3 and 7 freeze-thaw cycle, respectively; However, after enduring 3 and 7 freeze-thaw cycle, the compressive strength increases with increasing the percentage of fibers to 75%.

This paper presents a numerical study on the shear behaviour of the steel framing system using a perforated section. The perforated steel section has a lower volume of steel, which causes the weight to decrease and lead to lower construction costs. However, perforation insteel will decrease the shear resistance of the steel framing system. The objective of this study was to investigate the shear behaviour of the perforated steel section comparing to the unperforated section in the steel framing system. Critical shear loading from a common steel framing system was obtained using Staad Pro software according to Eurocode Standard. Finite element analysis was performed and the structure capacity results were compared by using eigenvalue. Comparison were made between perforatedsections and unperforatedsection in term of shear capacity and percentage of volume reduction. Perforation steel section with 8 diamond openings was selected with the percentage of shear buckling capacity difference from an unperforated section about 33.02% and 48.18% with circleopenings. Shear buckling capacity reduced with the increasing number of web openings. Edge distance also affected the shear behaviour of plain channel section with web openings.

Although orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) is one of Malaysian iconic species, however when compared to other great apes this species is not well studied. Several good articles regarding this species in captivity are relatively limited. Due to this reason, a behavioral study of this orangutan (P. pygmaeus) was conducted at Orang Utan Island, Bukit Merah, Perak. The main objectives of this study were to understand the ethology of orangutan in a semi-wild condition and the space utilization of the orangutans that would help in giving picture of the animal’s arboreal and terrestrial nature. Preliminary observations were carried out for five days in January 2016 and intensive observations was carried out for a month in February 2016. The observation method used was focal sampling with continuous reading. The observations were done by focusing on one individual subject for every one hour from 09:00 a.m. to 13:00 p.m. and from 14:00 p.m. to 17:00 p.m. The behavioral profile of the orangutans in semi-wild environment showed that resting, feeding, and playing are the three major daily activities of the orangutans on the island. In accordance with the purpose of this study, the result of the behavioral activities of orangutan can be used for the management and well-being of the orangutan in the study site. Hopefully, with the provided information, this will help to increase our understanding of orangutans’ behavior in a semi-wild environment.

Research on bivalves in Malaysia and documentation on bivalve fishery is still lacking in the recent years. Study on the diversity of bivalves will help contribute to the Malaysian database and the documentation of traditional knowledge on bivalve fishery will prevent the knowledge from going extinct. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the species diversity of bivalves present in Sedili Kechil, Johor and also to gain access to the traditional knowledge of the fishermen involved in bivalve fishery practiced in the area. Bivalves were handpicked randomly throughout the coastal region and a total of 10 respondents make up the sample size of this study. The traditional knowledge was gathered with the aid of a semi-structured questionnaire through a combination of non-participant observation and in-depth interview method. This study has collected the first record of species of bivalves in Sedili Kechil. The bivalves’ diversity in Sedili Kechil is medium to low diversity by using Shannon Wiener Index (1.26) and Pielou’s Index of Evenness (0.41) and the traditional knowledge is documented regarding the variety of habitat preferences, fishery seasons, and exploitation and preservation methods. It is discovered that most bivalves occupy sandy substrates with four periods of availability and with different exploitation methods with respective to species. No preservation method is practiced by the villagers. The association with abiotic components and non-abiotic components and preference timing and depth for bivalve fishery are also noted. This record on species diversity and the documentation of traditional knowledge is hoped to be contributing to the Malaysian database and become preliminary data for future research.

Published: December 2022

Sungai Muar or Muar River is special. Passing through three states of Peninsular Malaysia, it originates in Negeri Sembilan, passes briefly in Malacca, into Johor and ends into the Straits of Malacca. Though laden with history and presently undergoing much socio-economic development, the importance of this river remains inconspicuous, as it is simply known as Sungai Muar. This paper proposes that a geographical official entity be recognized for this river and its surrounding areas as Muar River Valley (MRV) or in Malay, Lembangan Sungai Muar to enhance any future planning and development which would be site-based, thus giving due recognition to the river. Essential data was researched. The geophysical information of MRV is gathered, which forms the first objective of the research. To realistically prove its importance as an official entity, the tourism development was chosen. This research examined previous and potentially new nature tourism research. These are then marked on the map and thus a simple visual appreciation to understand the potential of nature tourism of MRV is easily seen. Hence, a map is produced for existing tourism activities and potential tourism destinations and products in MRV. This forms the second objective. To further enhance, a venture such as nature tourism, that could increase the appreciation to the importance of MRV, a nature tourism product development was done and described, forming the third objective. The exemplary product development is based on a newly recognized oyster species, endemic to MRV named as Crassostrea (Magallana) saidii sp. nov.. All data for the three objectives were obtained through literature search using search engine like Google. Additional methods include interviewing through phone calls, face-to-face, and also Google Meet to obtain information related to land use, drainage and irrigation systems around Bandar Maharani, along with the topography around the extent of Muar District, as basic requirement for the proposal of MRV. Finally, the newly recognized oyster is developed into a tourism product of which the proposed 3 hours package include activities such as observing traditional harvesting of the oysters and tasting of oyster dishes. To complete the nature tourism product development, prototypes of souvenirs are made from shells of the new oysters. For conservation purpose, souvenirs are also made from common species. This recommendation to officiate the designation of MRV would be made to the state government of Johore, through the Muar District Office.

Authors:   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Qian Yun Tai , Pa’ee Furzani ,   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia
Published: December 2022

Clitoria ternatea is traditionally used as medicine in Ayurveda and had been found to exhibit antibacterial activities due to its rich phytochemical contents. Due to the issue of resistant bacteria emergence and side effects of synthetic antibacterial agents, investigation of plant’s antibacterial potential is important. In this study, the methanolic C. ternatea leaves extracts were investigated for phytochemical content and antibacterial activity. Phytochemical content was investigated quantitatively focusing on the total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC), determined by Folin-Ciocalteau method and Aluminum-chloride method, respectively. The antibacterial potential of the plant’s extract was analyzed by disk-diffusion method of concentrations (12.5, 25, 50, 100 mg/mL), ampicillin and methanol act as positive control and negative control, respectively. The extraction yield of methanolic C. ternatea leaves extracts obtained by maceration method is 8.16%. The TPC and TFC of C. ternatea leaves extract are 0.66116 ± 0.43455 mg GAE /g and 0.31333 ± 0.057735 mg QE /g respectively. The disk-diffusion antibacterial assay showed no inhibitory activity of C. ternatea extracts against Escherichia coli. This might be attributed to the lack of potency of C. ternatea extracts at their current concentration, and the low content of TPC and TFC in the extracts. This had partially proved that concentration of the extracts used is crucial in antibacterial activities. Discrepancy of antibacterial results in C. ternatea observed between different studies might be attributed to the different methodologies. In conclusion, C. ternatea has been seen as a high potential plant in terms of antibacterial activity, but conditions during experiment poses high impact on the result of antibacterial assay. The findings from this study had provided valuable information to the field of phytochemistry and attempted to broaden the uses of medicinal plants, in which this can indirectly contribute to preservation of traditional knowledge and conservation of biodiversity.

Malaysia is one of 17 mega diverse countries in the world. Despite this fact, there is still no online standalone database that focuses on Malaysian mammals. Creation of a mammalian database would allow researchers and conservationists to utilize the database for research, policy making and to answer broad scale of biodiversity questions. Human development has contribute to the depleting of mammal population and species extinction rate is faster than the effort of cataloguing them. The aim of this study is to 1) identify online database features and the type of data required for mammal database, 2) collect and populate database from existing mammal data to assist the said database and 3) to test the acceptance of the database by user of this study. The secondary data from existing database such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), Animal Diversity Web (ADW) and Malaysia Biodiversity Information System (MyBIS) was collected to determine the required features needed in the database. The database adhered to TDWG standard that facilitates exchange of biological information. Examination on GBIF have been made to observe their data presentation since GBIF used TDWG Standard. Rapid Prototype Model was utilized as development method and Omeka Classic was used as platform of Content Management System. The mammal data was collected online and populate into the database. The acceptance testing in form of questionnaire were distributed to verify whether the database is function properly and meet the requirement of the study. We present MYMODS, a comprehensive mammal database with 361 mammal species in Malaysia deposited in the database. The development of this database will enable the researcher and conservationist to seek and identify mammal information based on species’ scientific name, description and IUCN Red List. We believe that MYMODS will contribute to the digital knowledge that provide tools for mammal research and contributes in management of biodiversity and conservation in Malaysia. MYMODS is available at https://cercom.uthm.edu.my/mymods/

Authors:   Kenyatta University P.O Box, Duncan Shirandula
Published: December 2022

Entrepreneurship Education (EE) has been identified as the requisite driver for improvingKenya’s tourism economy. Consequently, the sector has emphasizedentrepreneurship education to bolster entrepreneurial skills alongside core technical skills among hospitality graduates in Technical Training Institutes (TTIs), to boost their employability or capacity to start their ventures. However, concerns remain regarding the inadequacy of soft skills among youth despite having the necessary technical training. This study examined the relationship between evaluation methods of EE and acquisition of entrepreneurial skills among students in 5 selected public TTIs in Kenya. The study adopted an explanatory research design. The target population comprised 199 students pursuing a diploma course in Food and Beverage Production, Service and Sales Management from the selected TTIs. A sample of 132 students was selected using stratified and simple random sampling methods. Questionnaires were administered to students. The simple regression method was employed to analyze the data. The findings provide evidence of a positive relationship between evaluation methods of EE and acquisition of entrepreneurial skills (B=3.366, p=.000).It was evident that the use of end-term sit -in exams; participation in class by answering questions and, sit-in tests were the predominant methods adopted. Such methods were found to be theoretical-based and examination-orientedand thus inadequate to evaluate a high level of entrepreneurial skills. Therefore, recommendations are made to TTIsto adopt practical-oriented methods and establish self-regulatory practices to monitor quality compliance to the EE syllabus.

This study aims to analyze the pedagogical competence needs of vocational lecturers. Learning development problems and needs related to the preparation of vocational lecturers can produce skilled vocational lecturers. The research method used is a quantitative method through surveys by distributing questionnaires given to vocational lecturers at Polytechnics in West Java, Indonesia. The findings obtained are the level of understanding of lecturers about students’ background is 76%. 82% of lecturers have compiled a complete Lesson Plan, both for activities in the classroom and outside the classroom. Mastery of the application of learning materials, media, methods, and laboratory equipment for vocational lecturers is very high, above 83%. This is in line with the characteristics of vocational education which must prepare students or graduates to quickly adapt to the workplace environment. However, in the activity of quiz making through online media, it is classified as a moderate at 68%, whereas the online learning and evaluation methods are beneficial since these methods are quite effective. The ability of vocational lecturers in conducting pretests before learning activities has a low score at 76%. This finding indicates that there are many difficulties, one of the factors is not knowing the urgency of the assessment.

Teaching subjects that are outside specialization is one of the major concerns of teachers in the Philippines, particularly in Ilocos Norte. This scenario also affects the learning of the students thus, creating gaps in their overall performance. Therefore, the study was conducted to explore the challenges and adaptation strategies of Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) Teachers in the northern part of the country who taught courses outside of their specialization. 85 teacher-respondents were involved in this study who were purposively selected. Qualitative design was used in the study that utilizes various data collection procedures, such us open-ended questionnaires and interview guide. Specifically, this study employed the phenomenological type of research where the TVE teachers’ challenges and adaptations are entangled in their everyday teaching strategies allowing for the presentation of authentic and unique experiences. Furthermore, this study captured the feelings and in-depth phenomena about the pressing needs in the teaching-learning process. Also, it utilized narrative research that basically included all the inputs of the teachers in data gathering that further strengthened the research. Data was analyzed using thematic and narrative analyses. Results show that the TVE teachers are assigned to different subjects outside their specialization because of the following factors: type of schools in which they are working, lack of human resources, limited number of students, financial factors, limited learning resources, lack of training or seminars, and motivational factors coming from the school or administration. Hence, they faced various problems and concerns that need to be taken seriously since these result in a gap in the teaching process. With these findings, TVE teachers adapt various strategies to overcome their challenges. This research aids in policy development as an intervention to address the identified problems of the concerned TVE teachers and to sustain or strengthen performances of the students

Career planning and development a key factor that provides added value to career sustainability. Career development approaches have recently changed due to the fast-paced global change, competitive industry needs, demands, and global education trends. Traditionally, it was the responsibility of an institution to guarantee that its educators possessed the skills necessary to achieve its long-term objectives. Currently, however, educators should be accountable for their career growth. Therefore, a survey was conducted to discover predictors of development and career paling for TVET educators (n = 141). A multiple regression analysis was conducted for all sets of career planning variables such as career aspirations (88.48%), personal aspirations and drive (85.93%), current competency (86.00%), current learning and development opportunities (82.05%), and company support 87.45%) is measured. This study found changes in the predictor, personal aspirations and drive, current competency, current learning and development opportunities, and organization support are significantly associated with changes in career aspiration. This majority of TVET educators are aware and willing to improve their knowledge and skills to meet the standard of current changes in TVET education needs and demands. The finding indicated that a proven technique for meeting organizational and personnel demands includes creating career routes that allow TVET educators to comprehend their options for advancement within the institution and collecting information to assess their abilities for career relevancy and sustainability.

An assessment of the hydrochemical parameters and the abundance of the bacterial complex was carried out in the water of a cage farm in the Yaroslavl region in spring 2022, followed by the isolation and identification of cultivated isolates. Ten adult rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), aged 2+, which were in a state of physiological dormancy, were studied. An assessment of the microbial contamination of the skin, internal organs and feces was given. The taxonomic diversity of the skin microbiome and immunophysiological parameters of blood were studied. A low number of microorganisms was revealed in the environment. Bacteria of the Aeromonas-Pseudomonas complex of the cage part of the reservoir are opportunistic pathogens and, under stressful conditions, can lead to an outbreak of bacterial infections. Despite the low values of the microbial contamination of the reservoir, the contamination of the digestive tract and excretory system was revealed. Opportunistic bacterial species posing a potential danger to fish have been found in the skin microflora of Oncorhynchus mykiss. The study of indicators of respiratory function and natural blood resistance of commercial trout, age 2+, under farm conditions, indicates chronic exhaustion of the organism and suppression of humoral and cellular immunity factors. Further monitoring of changes in the ecological situation and the sanitary and epizootic state of the reservoir is necessary, which will allow timely measures to be taken to correct the composition of the fish microbiome.

In this study, an in vitro propagation protocol of Poncirus trifoliata L. (Raf.) rootstock, which is one of the main rootstocks used in citrus, was created. Monocular node parts of the plant, which is the source of explant, were cultured in MS nutrient media containing BAP at dissmilar concentrations (0.5-1.0-2.0 mg/l). Afterward, it was observed that shoot appearance and tillering were achieved in the node explants cultured in MS nutrient medium comprising 1.0 mg/l BAP. The shoots were removed to a new culture in MS nutrient media containing NAA and IBA for rooting. While 30% rooting was achieved in the rooting medium, 62% of the rooted plantlets were acclimated to external conditions. 2 mg/l BAP and 2 mg/l silver nitrate (AgNO3) doses were supplied to the MS medium. The results of this study were obtained and a compound was found to the yellowing and leaf fall problem. As a result, in vitro propagation of Poncirus trifoliata, which is among the important citrus rootstocks, was tried, and its rooting ability was investigated in different nutrient media concentrations after shoots were obtained from different explants.
