Authors: Almahallawi Wesam , Zanuddin Hasmah 
Published: April 2019

Since the TV broadcasting was established in Arab countries until the 1990s, broadcasting during this specific time was based on a government control model, which derived from the view of broadcasting as an instrument of state advance that must be under the control from government. This kind of TVs, limits the broadcasting to highlight the government issue (1). In these kind of TVs, they focus with the leader’s opinion more than the Palestinian problem. By the way, the theme in Arab media determined to highlight the leader’s opinion who claims the right to speak on behalf of Palestinians. In September 1991, the first private TV in the Arab world was established when MBC went on the air from London. More private TVs followed after that like: Orbit in 1994 and ART in 1995, both based in Italy owned by Saudi businessmen, Future Television and LBC, both Lebanese based in Beirut, in 1995, and Al-Jazeera based in Qatar in 1996. In 2002 the number of the Arab TV stations was expanded to more than 150 TVS as government or privately owned, with capability of reaching the Arab people in any place in the world. This paper focuses on the media coverage of the conflict between two parties Palestine and Israel. The preview studies show that, in a conflict the media has an influential role and has responsibility for increasing violence or contributing to the resolution of conflict and mitigation of violence (2). This study examined 61 news coverage and framing of the Israel and Palestine conflict, known as the 50 days’ war from 8 July – 26 August 2014 by Ma’an News Agency, which delivers news to Ma’an TV (Palestinian satellite television station). A quantitative content analysis was employed to examine the news published during the war using five generic frames developed by (3). Holsti Inter-coder reliability and validity test value is 0.988 or 98% agreement. The results showed that conflict and human-interest frames were significantly visible compared to other frames in Ma’an news coverage. Portrayal of images of civilian killing, children and women killed in their homes and suffrage news coverage, in this war. Responsibility frame stressed on hospitals bombing and embargo of medications which reduced chances for Palestinian of immediate medical help. The economic frame highlighted the economic and financial losses of Palestinians as consequences of 50 days’ war. Most of them lost their income, businesses, agriculture land and homes and became refugees.

Graduates quality has become a major issue recently especially in today’s scenario. Graduates quality can be varying when it perceived by employers. Different sector of industry has different standard of quality. The interpretation of employers towards graduates counts the job placement of graduates. It is hard to standardized quality across industries. Several attributes show that competence relatedness and autonomy do influence the quality of graduates. A quantitative method was used in this study for data gathering. All items were using 10-point likert scale. The content validity of this questionnaire were reviewed by five human resource professionals, and Cronbach alpha for each item is more than 0.75 which is acceptable. Questionnaires were given to the human resource officers in the company through email. Convenient sampling was applied in this study for data collection. 50 questionnaires were distributed across manufacturing industry and services industry in Malaysia. Using Partial least square to analyze the data, this study found out that competence in communication is the same criteria which majority across industries are seeking upon graduates. Therefore, Industries that involved are manufacturing (34.38%) and services (65.63%). Measurement model and structural model were assessed to see the relationship. It shows that perception on competence has most influenced towards quality (AVE=0.849, R2=0.734=Q2=0.443). This study concludes that employers around the world are looking at similar attribute on graduate’s competence. This study also warrants a future research, whereby researcher could get more sample size and by doing sample which involves employers, graduates and educators.

This paper is a description of an alternative fixture for the edge preparation of elbows and pipes before welding. The welding will not penetrate the cross section of the pipe if the thickness of the pipes is more than eight millimeter, so edge preparation is done before welding. Fixtures are used to hold the pipes during the process of edge preparation. This paper deals with two major issues from the design of previous fixtures.Requirement of manual handling of the part.Precise rotations are not possible. The fixtures being used currently require more setting up time and they require manual handling to machine the other side. This paper describes a fixture which can reduce manual handling and be able to rotate the elbow either manually or using a motor.

Detection of cancer at early stages has become a top priority in the field of medical science. The existing detection methods require lot of routine tests to confirm that the sample is positive with cancer as there are chances of test results being pseudo- positive. This early stage detection of cancer will proved to be a godsend for those who are the victims of monstrous disease cancer. In this paper, we put forward a new approach for the detection of cancer at early stages by designing a 2-dimensional SPR based sensor for detailed spectral analysis of “Leukaemia” without using any biomarkers. As dielectric properties for cancer cells deviate from the normal cell, they can be identified and detected by implementing photonic approach. In the present work, design & simulations are done using FDTD. The shifts in the output waveforms and wavelengths have been recorded for a normal blood cell and cancerous cell respectively. It is observed from simulation that even for minute change in the RI of the bio analyte of interest and from which it is observed that there is a remarkable shift in the resonant wavelengths thus witnessing the ultra sensitivity of the design. Simulations are done using R-Soft CAD tool. The peak values and wavelength shift differences for normal cells and forleukaemia, the different cell components lymphocyte , nucleus, cytoplasm and the intensity shifts are recorded in order to find the relative sensitivity of the device. The design variation were made by varying sensing layer thickness and extinction coefficient Finally comparison was made between that of normal and abnormal cells to show the wavelength shift differences so that the signature graphs for each cell were obtained in order to determine the intensity of the disease and it depends on the shift in the wavelength. The wavelength shift of early stage leukaemia for cytoplasm, nucleus and lymphocyte are ranging from 2000-250nm. Sensitivity and the quality factor of the sensor have been calculated for the proposed design, the sensitivity achieved is 343nm/RIU and the quality factor is 1800.
