Abstract
Ambient exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is one of the top global health concerns. We estimate the PM2.5-related health benefits of emission reduction over New York State (NYS) from 2002 to 2012 using seven publicly available PM2.5 products that include information from ground-based observations, remote sensing and chemical transport models. While these PM2.5 products differ in spatial patterns, they show consistent decreases in PM2.5 by 28%–37% from 2002 to 2012. We evaluate these products using two sets of independent ground-based observations from the New York City Community Air Quality Survey (NYCCAS) Program for an urban area, and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe Air Quality Program for a remote area. Inclusion of satellite remote sensing improves the representativeness of surface PM2.5 in the remote area. Of the satellite-based products, only the statistical land use regression approach captures some of the spatial variability across New York City measured by NYCCAS. We estimate the PM2.5-related mortality burden by applying an integrated exposure-response function to the different PM2.5 products. The multi-product mean PM2.5-related mortality burden over NYS decreased by 5660 deaths (67%) from 8410 (95% confidence interval (CI): 4570–12 400) deaths in 2002 to 2750 (CI: 700–5790) deaths in 2012. We estimate a 28% uncertainty in the state-level PM2.5 mortality burden due to the choice of PM2.5 products, but such uncertainty is much smaller than the uncertainty (130%) associated with the exposure-response function.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a learning design model that considers the relevance between material, pedagogy, and learning technology. This model is suitable to be applied to Geography subjects, but the question arises: is there enough media and learning tools available in schools to carry out TPACK-based geography learning? This study uses a survey method with a study population of all geography teachers in 3 (three) districts / cities in West Java Province. Data was analyzed using the SWOT approach. The results showed that the main weakness of the implementation of TPACK was the limitation of learning tools / media, and geographic subjects still grouped in the social sciences so that they received less attention from the government. In addition, the threat is a ban from the government to implement the TPACK model because it is slightly different from the applicable learning process standards. Based on the above conditions, a solution that is considered effective is conducting further research, namely identifying the tools and geography learning media needed and developing a systematic TPACK-based scientific learning model / strategy

Abstract
The availability of various satellite rainfall data potentially be used in monitoring meteorological droughts. In this study, products from the NCEP-CFSR (National Centers for Environmental Prediction Climate Forecast System Reanalysis) were analyzed to estimate meteorological drought in the Citarum Watershed, West Java, Indonesia. Assessment was carried out using NCEP-CFSR data from 1988 to 2013 and was applied to meteorological droughts using the SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) index. The results showed that rainfall products from the NCEP-CFSR were not recommended to use in meteorological droughts because of the low correlation values of around 33%, MAE (Mean Absolute Error) 17.88 and RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) 22.73. This research can be utilized as a reference to assess rainfall products from better satellite data in the future to monitor meteorological droughts.

Abstract
This article aims to examine individual travel cost at selected hot springs as part of the efforts to develop health, wellness and recreational-based tourism in Perak. It first argues that the individual’s place of origins determines their accessibility to the study sites. This paper then identifies and analyses the visitors’ travel expenditure during their visit to each hot spring. The last section will discuss the effects of using hot springs for future health, wellness and recreational-based tourism in Perak. Using a Travel Cost Method, a Willingness–to-Pay of visitors was calculated as function of travel cost that incurred to reach a location. The paper utilizes a primary data which were collected during peak season from November to December in 2017 involving 241 visitors. The findings show that majority of the visitors are those who lived more than 50 km from the hot spring and spent more than one hour for each visit. In addition, each individual visitor to the hot spring generally spent by about RM 58.98 for their visit. This indicates that the hot spring potentially has the economic value in promoting health, wellness and recreational-based tourism.

Abstract
The rising amount of e-waste can be attributed to many factors such as the advancement in technology, a variety of electric and electronic equipment (EEE) offered in the market, electric and electronic (EE) product becoming cheaper and exceedingly high demands. E-waste is believed to be mostly generated from domestic items because there is no systematic management of e-waste from households, particularly in many developing countries. The non-systematic management will have an adverse impact on the environment and human. Therefore, this study attempts to uncover the current state of affairs involving e-waste management by households in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The objectives of this study are to identify the composition of electric and electronic equipment owned by households in the selected housing area and to evaluate the behavior of households in managing their e-waste. This study used a survey method using 100 sets of questionnaires which were distributed to respondents in the selected housing area. The results showed that mobile phones are dominating the category of electric and electronic equipment in the study area. In addition, most respondents do not adopt sustainable e-waste management such as recycling which is vital, as many prefer to store them at home or throw them to the rubbish bin. In conclusion, this study has shown that e-waste management scenarios in Kota Kinabalu are not particularly sustainable. The findings of this study can also lead to implication for creating awareness to stakeholders such as the City Hall of Kota Kinabalu and the Department of Environment so that both stakeholders could design a proper e-waste management system as part of an effort to create sustainable e-waste management.

Abstract
The Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) was categorized as a red list according to IUCN. Javan Rhinoceros was increasingly threatened due to the lack of available environmental characteristic informations (habitat) that was suitable for Javan rhinoceros to survive in in-situ conservation. The capability of various remote sensing wavelengths sensors can be used to get the environmental characteristics data and obtain information related to Javan Rhinoceros’s habitat characteristics through spatial modelling. This research were aimed to (1) knowing the ability of LANDSAT-8 multispectral satellite imagery to identify biophysical parameter of Javan Rhinoceros’s habitat in Ujung Kulon National Park and (2) developing a javan rhinoceros’s suitable habitat distribution model in order to survive in Ujung Kulon National Park. The data were collected by LANDSAT-8 multispectral satellite imagery interpretation assisted by GIS analysis. The result showed that LANDSAT-8 multispectral satellite imagery can be used to identify several biophysical parameters, such: slope, altitude, vegetation cover index, temperature, and the distance of puddle, river, beach, and glade. Moreover, the result of the distribution model can be visualized as digital maps and software-based maps about Javan rhinoceros habitat information’s, and it can be used as guidance for conservation society in order to conserve Javan rhinoceros in Indonesia.

Abstract
The uncontrolled development of abnormal white blood cells (blast) in bone marrow is the starting point where leukaemia cancer begins. It does not die like it should. Instead, it goes on dividing and crowding out the healthy blood cells, making it difficult for these healthy bloods to function normally. The diagnosis process from haematologist consumes a lot of time. Therefore, a good segmentation procedure is necessary in order to successfully identify and diagnose leukaemia cells automatically from blood sample images. This paper proposes segmentation procedures which consist of contrast enhancement, extraction of hue component information, as well as segmentation based on Otsu’s thresholding and watershed technique. The experimental results shows that the proposed segmentation procedure has successfully segmented 200 images consisting of acute and chronic leukaemia with average accuracy, sensitivity and specificity obtained of 98.90%, 82.14% and 99.49%, respectively. The result of segmentation performance achieved shows the significant of this approach. Based on results obtained, this segmentation technique is applicable to segment both acute and chronic leukaemia images with good segmentation performance.

Abstract
This paper proposes high gain ultra-wide band (UWB) reflector array antenna for human brain tumor detection using specific absorption rate (SAR) technique in microwave detection system. Introduction of copper reflector with ideal distance contribute in increasing the proposed antenna gain. High gain antenna is essential in human microwave detection system for penetrating the multilayer structures by enhancing the focus of the electromagnetic energy into the desired structure. The antenna with reflector recorded wider bandwidth; 1.6 GHz-10.8 GHz associated with higher gain ranged from 3.2 dB until 14.1 dB compared with antenna without reflector operated from 2.2 GHz to 10.8 GHz with lower gain ranges of 2.1 dB to 10.2 dB. The antenna is successfully detecting human brain tumor based on SAR technique. Amount of energy or gain produced by the antenna which being absorbed by the human brain indicated the present of tumor inside. Human brain with tumor absorbed more energy and recorded higher SAR value compared to human brain without tumor. In this paper, human head phantom associated with tumor recorded SAR value of 2.53 W/kg and 2.51 W/kg for simulated and measured respectively meanwhile head phantom without tumor stated SAR value of 1.06 W/kg for simulated and 1.05 W/kg for measured. The biggest different in SAR value according to area precisely determine the location of the tumor in the brain which in this case position 5 (tumor location) resulted biggest SAR different value of 1.47 W/Kg for simulated and 1.46 W/Kg for measured.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a signal contains information of brain activities. Nowadays, many types of research regarding EEG have been done such as neuromarketing. The human brain is very complicated but it contains a lot of information. EEG signal is a non-stationary signal, it changes over time and it also depends on human’s emotion, thinking and activities. Due to the uniqueness of the EEG signal, the EEG signal has the potential to be used in the human authentication system. In this paper, an imaginary task and a non-imaginary task were studied to find out which type of task is possible to be used in authentication system. In preliminary study, five subjects were volunteered and performed the motor imagery and motor execution tasks. EEGOTM sports device (ANT Neuro, Enschede, Netherlands) with 32 channels was used to record the EEG signal and the sampling frequency is set to 512 Hz. The EEG signal was analysed by using EEG signal processing namely pre-processing, feature extraction and classification. Power line interference was removed by using a notch filter. Daubechies 8 wavelet family with 5th level decomposition has been applied to remove baseline wander noise. The performance of non-linear features such as Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), Hurst Exponent and Entropy were examined. Random forest gives good classification accuracy for imaginary task and non-imaginary task which are 83.53% and 87.06% respectively, thus, it shows non-linear features is possible to be employed in biometric identification.
