Authors:   School of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, MALAYSIA, Salleh Zuraidah
Published: November 2024

The paper presents an investigation of the burning rate of the selected solid propellant using a Ballistic Evaluation Motor (BEM) for solid-rocket propulsion study. A K-type thermocouple was used to capture the temperature of the BEM. Previous studies on BEM have been customized to specific experiments accordingly without any standardized approach for temperature measurement. Variations in the methodology have led to inconsistent and potentially unreliable results across different research efforts. The purpose of the study is to establish a more reliable and standardized method for temperature measurement in BEM by validating the temperature readings recorded by a K-type thermocouple. The scope of the study includes recording the ignition and combustion temperature of the BEM against the time. Three different propellants were used in the experiments, ammonium perchlorate with sorbitol and magnesium, potassium nitrate with sucrose, and ammonium perchlorate with sorbitol and iron (III) oxide. The results indicate that ammonium perchlorate with sorbitol gives the highest maximum temperature which is at 101℃. The other propellants, ammonium perchlorate with magnesium and potassium nitrate with sucrose, recorded maximum temperatures of 75.20 °C and 57.25 °C, respectively. The validation process confirmed the reliability of the K-type thermocouple, with an average deviation of 2.3 °C to 3.7 °C from the reference thermometer readings. A notable performance was observed for the propellant using sorbitol andammonium perchlorate with iron (III) oxide. The experiment contributes to significant findings of the solid-rocket propulsion study, hence advanced solidrocket research can be explored from here onwards.

Published: November 2024

Hydrophobic materials are one of the main components in electrowetting-ondielectric (EWOD) devices, acting as the actuating surface upon which droplets move. EWOD technology has been extensively utilised as a platform for particle detection due to its versatility, simple design, and minimal waste. However, the technology could be more widely adopted if the materials and fabrication costs could be reduced. This study presents an investigation into two off-the-shelf hydrophobic materials as alternatives to conventional materials for the actuating surface component of the device. The surfaces were prepared using two different deposition methods, which were spin coating and spray coating. For each method, samples with two thicknesses were prepared, consisting of one layer and two layers. The contact angle hysteresis and sliding angle of the commercial hydrophobic surfaces were measured. One of the surfaces exhibited good performance with a contact angle hysteresis and sliding angles of 28° and 34°, respectively. These promising findings suggest the potential use of commercial hydrophobic materials for the future development of disposable and low-cost EWOD devices.

Authors:   School of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, MALAYSIA, Kamarul Baharin Zainal Abidin
Published: November 2024

Today, acquiring potable water may be challenging, particularly for residents who reside in rural and coastal areas. Those who procure underground water must first filter it before consumption. Since solar energy is plentiful, environmentally friendly, and free, desalination and water purification can be accomplished using solar stills. However, the production of solar stills is relatively low. This paper aims to ascertain the efficiency of a solar still with nanocrystalline coating on the evaporator basin and the trial will be performed under Malaysian weather conditions. Three solar stills of varying types of evaporator basin coatings were fabricated and tested. Results showed that the Co-Ni-Fe nano-coated solar still generated the highest amount of condensation/evaporation ratio of 40% and a condensate volume of 30 ml.

Published: November 2024

In order to optimize the turning operation on titanium alloy, one needs to understand how different parameter combinations serve under varied conditions and needs. It is critical to compare single and multiple objectives in optimization. This study focused on single and multi-objective optimization evaluations for the primary performance responses of surface roughness (SR) and tool flank wear (TW), aiming for optimal turning process parameters. To examine the effects of feed rate (f), cutting speed (R), depth of cut (d), cutting angle (X), and mist inlet pressure (P) on the responses of both SR and TW, Taguchi L27 orthogonal arrays were used in this study. Moreover, analysis of variances (ANOVA) and grey relational analysis (GRA) have been incorporated in this study, where the former was used to study the influence of each parameter on SR and TW while the latter was used to determine the best combinations for the multi-objective optimization process. The results revealed that for single-objective optimization of SR, the optimal values for f, R, d, X, and P were found to be 0.3 mm/rev, 250 rpm, 1.5 mm, 100 degrees, and 1 bar mist inlet pressure, respectively. For single-objective optimization of TW, the optimal values for f, R, d, X, and P were found to be 0.20 mm/rev, 250 rpm, 0.5 mm, 50 degrees, and 3 bar mist inlet pressure, respectively. Meanwhile, for multi-objective optimization, the optimal values for f, R, d, X, and P were found to be 0.30 mm/rev, 500 rpm, 2.0 mm, 75 degrees, and 1 bar mist inlet pressure, respectively. These optimal combinations of turning parameters resulted in the lowest SR and TW simultaneously.

Authors:   School of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, MALAYSIA, Meon Mohd Suhairil
Published: November 2024

The study quantitatively investigates the mechanical structural behavior and damage mechanisms of composite laminates under low-velocity impacts using Abaqus software. A three-dimensional Puck criterion is utilized to identify the onset of fiber failure and matrix cracking under tensile and compressive loading conditions. Two progressive damage evolution models are implemented to simulate damage propagation during impact. The model also incorporates cohesive elements with a bilinear traction-separation law to represent interlaminar damage. The performance of the model is validated by comparing its predictions against experimental results for a composite laminate with a stacking sequence of [0°3/45°/-45°2/45°/0°3] subjected to different impact energies (2 J, 4 J, and 8 J). Despite a slight reduction in accuracy at higher energy levels, the model effectively predicts forcedisplacement curves and energy absorption. The deviation from experimental results is approximately ±6%. This research offers a basis for enhancing the impact resistance and energy absorption characteristics of composite materials.

Published: November 2024

Current player tracking methods using multiple fixed stadium-based cameras and wearable sensors have limitations. To address this, a new computer vision system using aerial drone imagery has been developed to track football players. This approach is less expensive, has a wider field of view, and captures data not accessible through sensors. However, the visual performance has not been extensively evaluated. In this study, we aimed to determine the system’s tracking performance using an F-measure score, which is calculated based on the number of true positives, false positives, and false negatives identified during the tracking process. We also investigated the tracking reliability by comparing the intra-operator performance using the ICC for distance, speed, and time metrics by repeating the measurements five times. The aerial-imagery data were taken from a test match recorded using a drone that was hovered away from the touchline. Four players were tracked and measured simultaneously. The system demonstrates accuracy by performing admirably with average F-measure scores of 0.80, 0.80, 0.89, and 0.84 for player A0, player A1, player B0, and player B1, respectively. Meanwhile, the intra-operator reliability for distance and speed was deemed good to moderate with %MD < 10%. The findings suggest that the system is a capable and reliable computer vision tracking tool with potential applications in performance analysis, training feedback, and injury prevention.

Published: November 2024

Carbon-copper composites have wide application prospects as high-speed railway pantograph slides due to the self-lubricating ability of carbon and good conductivity of copper. However, carbon-copper composites produced through powder metallurgy may still encounter challenges, such as poor wettability and lower conductivity. The experimental approach in this work involved the fabrication of carbon-copper composites using the warm compaction method, with different types and proportions of carbon materials, namely local carbon from palm kernel shells (PKS) and graphite. Characterisation and testing of hardness, density, resistivity, transverse rupture strength (TRS), and microstructure of the composites have been conducted. An increase in graphite content was found to improve the electrical conductivity of the carbon-copper composite, while the addition of local carbon has enhanced its hardness. Furthermore, the addition of graphene oxide (GO) as filler has significantly improved the mechanical strength of this composite by up to 61.34%. This research has highlighted the potential of locally sourced carbon for developing advanced pantograph slide materials for railway applications. The findings provided valuable insights into the optimisation of composite compositions to achieve the desired balancebetween electrical conductivity and mechanical performance. These carboncopper composites hold the promise of more efficient and durable pantograph slides, which can contribute to the overall reliability and sustainability of railway systems.

Published: November 2024

This study reveals the hardness improvement resulting from Underwater Friction Stir Welding (UFSW) on the butt joint method AA 6061. Underwater welding introduces complexity to the joint's hardness due to the presence of water, which affects the welding process and the quality of the joint formed. The objective of the UFSW study is to explore potential advantages in the aquatic environment, primarily to obtain the optimal machine tilt angle. The study used a conventional milling machine with various spindle speeds, feed rates, and tilt angles to get the best combination of parameters. The spindle speed of 750 rpm, welding speed of 20 mm/min, and machine head angle of 2° recorded show the Brinell hardness (HRB) of UFSW to be 98.8% better than Friction Stir Welding (FSW) on various parameters. This study revealed that a machine tilt angle of 2° increased the hardness of UFSW welding. Theresults show that UFSW can increase HRB through proper head tilt angle, which is even better than the existing method, which is FSW.

Authors:   College of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450, Shah Alam, Selangor, MALAYSIA, Rui Fan
Published: November 2024

The study proposes a modified Artificial Potential Field (APF) method integrated with the A* algorithm to enhance industrial robot path planning for obstacle avoidance. This approach addresses issues of local minima and unreachable targets within APF, mitigates the A* algorithm's poor real-time performance, and enhances obstacle avoidance success rates. Kinematic and workspace analyses of the robot utilize the Denavit-Hartenberg and Monte Carlo methods. The study analyses the principles and limitations of classical algorithms. The study introduces a modified APF algorithm to address issues of local minima and path oscillation, which is integrated with A* to guide movement towards the virtual target. After getting rid of local minima, the algorithm reverts to the APF method for further searching. Introducing a safe distance to restrict the repulsive field's influence resolves the issue of unreachable targets. Simulation results demonstrate that the modified algorithm efficiently plans obstacle-free paths in multi-obstacle environments, with target error controlled within 0.0121 m.

In its growth, corruption continues to be a problem and an enemy for the nation and state. Corruption is now not only committed by civilian officials and corporate parties, but can also be committed by the military, in this case the Indonesian National Army. In the process, it is possible for conflicts of authority to occur, including the recent case of the Corruption Eradication Commission's Hand Capture Operation at the National Search and Rescue Agency related to the determination of corruption case suspects involving two active military members. This research aims to find out the authority of the Corruption Eradication Commission in determining suspects who are active military members and the legal consequences of this determination. Normative juridical methods through literature studies were used in this research which shows that if viewed juridically, the Corruption Eradication Commission has the authority to determine suspects even up to the prosecution stage because the laws that form their basis are more specific than laws related to the military when viewed from the perspective of the lex specialist systematics principle. Determining a suspect is legal as long as coordination has been carried out because legally this institution has the authority to control corruption cases based on article 42 of the Corruption Eradication Committee Law as well as article 65 (2) of the TNI Law. However, to avoid misperceptions like this happening again, it seems necessary to revise the Military Justice Law and strengthen the Corruption Eradication Commission Law to make law enforcement more efficient in criminal acts of corruption.

Regional economic development must be treated as a collaborative process between the government and the people in creating stability and fairness on economic activities. MSMEs as a form of social economic entity holds a vital role both in economic development and regional development. Pursuant to Law No. 20/2008, MSMEs are granted by law various facilities to grow its businesses. On the other hand, Law No. 1/2022 that governs regional taxes and retributions is directly related with MSMEs’ position as the potential source of regional taxes and retributions needed for regional economic development. To date, the implementation of Law No. 1/2022 has not been optimal in supporting MSMEs’ growth as well as increasing MSMEs’ contribution on regional taxes and retributions. This is due to various of social factors which affects the implementation of Law No. 1/2022. Therefore, this research is aimed to analyzed from a socio legal perspective on the current regional taxes and retributions policy against MSMEs’ role in regional economic development. This research is made by using socio legal methodology and qualitatively analyzed. The research results indicates that despite the existence of Law No. 20/2008 and Law No. 1/2022 in providing a firm legal basis, the policy making in regional taxes and retributions budgeting capable of supporting MSMEs’ growth on one hand and increasing MSMEs’ contribution in regional taxes and retributions has yet to be met. Further, limited financial knowledge and awareness of MSMEs’ also caused minimum contribution in the regional economic development via regional taxes and retributions payment.

The term of office of the village head has been extended to 8 years (2 terms), with this provision it will trigger abuse of authority, considering that one of the aims of constitutional reform is to introduce limitations on executive power in order to create a balanced democracy in Indonesia. In this scientific study the author will analyze the impact of extending the term of office of the village head using a legal sociology approach. This research is packaged using normative research methods, the source of this research comes from primary materials in the form of relevant laws and regulations and books, while the sources of secondary material in this research are scientific papers in journals and other scientific articles and then correlating these problems with theory. sociology of law and statutory regulations. The results of the research show that the government policy regarding extending the term of office of village heads to 8 years and being able to be elected for 2 consecutive terms is a policy that is contrary to the concept of the rule of law, this is because the process taken by the government in forming this policy is considered to have political nuances. related to the situation of the 2024 presidential election, apart from that, the most fearful thing behind this policy is when this policy is used as a stepping stone by the government to extend the terms of office of other executives so that it is certain that the rule of law will be tainted by the government regime of this era. The conclusion is that the decision to extend the term of office of the village head is contrary to the aim of constitutional reform which seeks to limit executive power. What is most feared behind this decision is abuse of power by individual village heads due to holding power for too long accompanied by the absence of greater supervision intense.

Most countries have adopted a more liberal policy to socialize public relations under the influence of neoliberalism and lobbying by economic elites to strengthen the role of market mechanisms and citizens’ entrepreneurial activity. The nature, scale, sequence, and strategy of economic and social reforms in each country have their specifics. Today multi-vector and large-scale changes are taking place in social and labor policy, and they do not always have an internal logic. The study assesses prospects for the development of the labor market in the context of global transformations. Within the framework of this study, the collected information was processed gradually. Data processing was modified during the study phase. At the first stage, data processing results were used to determine total and non-farm self-employment for two groups of countries with developing economies and estimate the scale of vulnerable employment. At the second stage, indicators were identified that characterize various categories of economically active population that belong to the precariat. At the third stage, the authors analyzed data on non-standard forms of employment. The authors assumed that these forms have a right to exist and will be implemented more often. There is an imbalance between standard and non-standard forms of employment. Further research should consider the transformation of labor from material and intangible dominants to creativity.

The study examined the mediating role of supply chain security performance on the relationship between supply chain security practices and supply chain disruptions occurrences in the manufacturing industry in Ghana. Drawing on a survey of 336 manufacturing firms, dynamic capability, and contingency theories were applied using structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the conceptual model. It was discovered that both direct and indirect hypotheses supported the findings of the study. The results indicate that Ghanaian manufacturing firms have made progress in implementing supply chain security measures. The findings revealed that the adoption of comprehensive supply chain security practices is positively associated with improved performance metrics, including reduced inventory losses and damages, faster order fulfillment and delivery times, lower costs related to security incidents, and enhanced brand reputation and customer trust. Policymakers can leverage these insights to develop support programs aimed at strengthening the security capabilities of manufacturing firms, ensuring they are equipped to compete effectively in both local and global markets, improving security performance, and reducing the likelihood and impact of supply chain disruptions. In the quest of bridging the gap between theory and practice, this research contributes valuable knowledge to the discourse on supply chain security in developing countries, offering a roadmap for enhancing resilience and performance in the manufacturing sector.
The prospects of the automotive sector in the regional development of Hungarian counties: A human resource perspective
Authors: Németh Melinda
Published: November 2024

This study aims to examine the role of automotive industry development in the regional growth of Hungarian counties. Through word frequency analysis, the counties were grouped, and their unique characteristics were highlighted. Some counties already play a prominent role in the domestic automotive industry hosting established Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), a significant number of automotive suppliers and high R&D and innovation potential. Another group includes counties that currently lack a significant automotive industry and did not identify it as a key focus area for future development. Additionally, an intermediate group has also emerged, including counties where the automotive industry is either in its early stages of investment, or such development is prioritized in regional planning documents. The study details the direction of automotive development in counties where the industry plays a significant role, focusing on labor market characteristics and human resource development. The findings have significant implications for the future of the automotive industry in these counties, underlining the urgent and immediate need for well-managed and well-established human resource development and ensuring effective partnership to realize its full potential in the automotive industry.

Published: November 2024

Enterprise green innovation drives sustainable development and contributes to the realization of a ‘beautiful China’. It enhances resource utilization, reduces energy consumption, and achieves economic-environmental objectives through technological advancements. This paper examines the impact of the gender composition of a company’s CEO and CFO on green innovation by empirical research method using the data of the firms listed on Chinese capital market from 2015 to 2022. Our findings indicate that: (1) Male CEOs and CFOs are more likely to promote green innovation compared to their female counterparts; (2) Leadership teams comprising opposite-sex pairs tend to weaken the promotion of green innovation. These conclusions are consistent across state-owned enterprises and within the manufacturing sector. This study provides a novel perspective on enterprise green innovation, offering insights for companies regarding their green innovation strategies and for policymakers in shaping relevant policies.
An empirical approach assessing the impact of financial product innovation towards investors’ risk adjusted return: An event study technique
Authors: Syed Abdul Malik , Nazneen Afroze , Bhalla Pretty
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore new financial product’s impact on the behaviour of individual investors. To analyze investors’ risk and return expectations, this article investigates trading volumes before and after the introduction of financial product innovation. An event research technique was used to gather data from the National Stock Exchange. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Sharpe ratio approach, which were provided by different investors. The research results highlight that individual investors’ overreaction behaviour is brought out by financial product innovation. Furthermore, the study’s results imply that rising trading volumes are not entirely explained by updated risk-adjusted returns and that new financial products lead to excessive trading by investors and lowering returns. Higher trading volumes are not explained by better risk-adjusted returns. Young investors often respond irrationally to information offered by financial advisors, resulting in short-term gains at the expense of long-term gains. The study demonstrates that the development of innovative financial products does not always result in investors’ long-term prosperity. Worse outcomes and excessive trading could follow from it. The paper concludes by providing various real-world implications that the benefits and drawbacks of innovative financial products should be spelled out in detail by financial institutions and representatives. his research contributes to the implementation of individual investors’ overreaction behaviour that is brought out by financial product innovation. It highlights that higher trading volumes are not explained by better risk-adjusted returns.
Role of English language teaching methods in enhancing English language learning at Chinese vocational colleges: Mediating influence of intercultural communicative competence
Authors: Yu Shulin , Wong Bee Eng
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the current study is to examine the mediating role of intercultural communicative competence on the relationship between teaching of English language and learning at Chinese higher vocational colleges. The convenience sampling technique was used to collect data from 668 teachers, teaching English language subjects in different public and private Chinese higher vocational colleges. Smart partial least squares-structural equation modeling on SmartPLS software version 4 was used to test the hypotheses. The result revealed the direct effect of English language teaching (ELT) is not significant on English language learning (ELL). However, the intercultural communicative competences (ICC) have been tested and proved to be a potential mediator between English language teaching and learning. Because the indirect effect of ELT on ELL is positive and significant through mediator ICC. Therefore, based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the inclusion of intercultural communication ability is a crucial component in the vocational education of college students. Policymakers should be cautious about promoting and expanding the availability of cultural teaching and learning across demographic conditions (e.g., linguistic and ethnic diversity, age, and gender) and various levels of language proficiency. In accordance with the effects of teacher education and professional development programs, the implementation of ICC content necessitates a harmonization of pedagogical approaches and assessment practices across designated levels in order to effectively achieve educational objectives. To promote ICC in English language education, there must be clear guidelines and communication to school leaders, educators, and administrators regarding the necessity and goals of cultural integration.
