Transformation of aboriginal communities towards the Regional Development of Iskandar Malaysia
Authors: Yusoff N S , Rashid M F 
Published: December 2023

AbstractNatural resources have been home to the Aboriginal communities for hundreds of years. However, modernizations have transformed the natural resources into an urban area that changed the livelihood of an indigenous community. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the impacts of regional development towards Aboriginal communities in Iskandar, Malaysia. Kampung Simpang Arang was selected as a case study. Kampung Simpang Arang is located in southeast Iskandar Malaysia, where the majority of the community was the Seletar tribe. The Seletar tribe is one of the earliest aboriginal communities settled as indigenous coastal communities. This village is selected due to its location within a 15 kilometres radius of high-impact projects such as Tanjung Pelepas Port, Legoland and Tuas Checkpoint. A total of 50 Aboriginal people in the village were involved in the household survey. The findings highlighted that the economic structure has developed from just fisheries and collecting forest products to the industrial sector. Other regional impacts identified towards the Seletar community are improved infrastructure, education, possession and health care and the low youth migration rate. Therefore, this study contributes to understanding the repercussions of regional development in Iskandar Malaysia on the socioeconomic structure and quality of life of the Seletar tribe, informing future policies and actions to address the needs and challenges.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The ever-increasing occurrence of building collapse with attendant loss of lives in recent years has called for serious concern in Nigeria. Hence, it has become necessary to strategically look into the issue with a spirited effort to provide measures to stem the tide of the occurrence. Moreover, errors in building construction sites during construction activities often bring about defects in the building, which usually result in failure and eventual collapse of the building if not discovered and addressed. Evidence has shown that most building collapses in Nigeria as well as around the globe resulted from occurrences of error during the construction stage; past researchers have primarily focused their searchlight on the occurrences of error at the pre-construction stage of building projects, neglecting the occurrence of errors at the construction stage and the danger it portrayed. Hence, the primary purpose of this paper is to review relevant literature and evaluate the occurrences of building errors at the construction stage of building projects as one of the major causes of repeated building collapse in Lagos, Nigeria. The data for the review were gathered through the records of past building collapses in Nigeria from 2009 to 2019. Tables and bar graphs were used for data presentations and analysis. The paper review shows that Lagos has the highest percentage of building collapse cases in Nigeria; it also reveals that the collapse was due to common errors occurring at the construction stage of building activities onsite. And it finally identifies those common errors inducing building collapses. Stakeholders in the building industry are to focus more attention on the construction stage of the building process. The review will serve as a conceptual development guideline to minimize construction errors during construction activities, thereby reducing incessant building collapse.

Abstract
Construction projects have long been plagued by cost overruns, which can significantly impact project outcomes and stakeholder satisfaction. Recent advances in innovative technologies, including computer vision, have shown promise in improving construction project performance. Specifically, computer vision has been recommended as a powerful tool for enhancing cost management processes. Despite its potential, the application of computer vision in cost control for construction projects remains largely unexplored. This paper presents a conceptual framework for effectively leveraging computer vision to improve construction cost control. To achieve this objective, the paper will first review relevant literature on the application of computer vision in construction and construction cost control. The review will examine the existing research, identify knowledge gaps, and provide insights into the potential benefits of using computer vision in cost control. Next, the paper will propose a conceptual framework for integrating computer vision into the construction cost control process. The framework will be based on a thorough analysis of the various aspects of construction cost control and the potential applications of computer vision in each area.

Abstract
Customary land is a valuable resource that holds significant importance for indigenous communities and society. Development of this land can play a significant role in promoting economic growth. Unfortunately, many of the development project planned on this region have fail to achieve sustainable development objective which led to rejection from the indigenous peoples. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the factors that contribute to the failure of development projects on customary land. This paper serves as a preliminary study on the village along the Ulu Papar River. A qualitative method of in-depth interview was carried out involving 50 respondents comprising the villagers. The results indicate that inadequate community consultation and limited local participation to be the main factor behind the issues. The results of this study showed that there are three possible reason i) the absence of cultural priority guidelines; ii) the absence of clear development procedures; iii) lack of opportunities and involvement of indigenous peoples in government development programs. By understanding these factors, valuable lessons can be learned to guide future endeavours and promote sustainable solutions. Ultimately, this research highlights the importance of understanding the unique cultural and social context of customary land to design effective sustainable development project.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing natural construction materials and is locally available in most developing countries, including South America, Africa, and Asia. Bamboo is a “green gold” plant in the tropical forest. It is a fast-growing monocotyledon species belonging to the Gramineae family (Bambusoideae) and requires a short time for re-production. Bamboo’s physical strength provides builders from ancient times until today an opportunity to use bamboo as a natural and sustainable construction material for building houses and structures. Due to its capability to bend, bamboo is the most preferred material in vernacular construction and lately in Southeast Asia countries which borne new trend in building design. The built-environment professionals, namely landscape architects, architects, and engineers in Malaysia, still lack knowledge of bamboo, especially on bending capabilities, as one of the sustainable construction materials. Less concern was given to researching the capabilities of bamboo’s ability to bend, even though its strength is more than steel and provides various design opportunities compared to other sustainable materials. Different types of bamboo present different strength capacities. Therefore, the aims of this research is to compare and determine their strength capacity, bending criteria and species suitability for design and construction in Malaysia. This paper collects published literature on experimental studies on the different methods of Hot and Cold Bending Methods which allow bamboo to bend to suit designer needs and concentrate on Malaysian Dendrocalamus asper (Buluh Betung), which considered as tough and durable species, as the primary construction material for landscape structures. Bundle Bamboo Split (BBS), identified as one of the bending techniques adopted for an experimental project, using BBS of 0.8m radius, produces a prototype for a landscape structure. The findings indicate observation of works by a team of craftsmen trained by an expert in bamboo construction who used to produce bamboo structures from Bali, Indonesia, highlighted tools and procedures in bamboo construction. In short, this paper will also enhance the use of bamboo as an accessible, durable, creative and sustainable construction material that represents the local identity of Tropical Malaysia Landscape Architecture.

Abstract
Lean beef refers to cuts with lower fat, appealing to those watching fat intake. This study was conducted to assess ribeye steak from Malaysian High Lean Beef (Kedah-Kelantan) against Wagyu, Angus, Brahman, focusing on physicochemical and sensory aspects. Steaks were cut with 2.5cm thicknesses, were frozen at -20°C. KK’s meat quality matched Angus and Brahman but differ with Wagyu, especially for tenderness. Wagyu displayed the highest intramuscular fat (IMF), crude fat (CF; 39.50%), and lowest crude protein (CP; 15.78%). KK had the highest CP%; 19.18% as known having less marbled meat. Cooked steaks showed higher L* (lightness) and a* (redness), lower b* (yellowness). KK had lower water holding capacity (WHC). Sensory analysis showed moderate acceptance of KK by 30 untrained panellists. While KK’s ribeye potential falls below Wagyu, it was comparable to Angus and Brahman. Improving KK’s quality via meat technology is crucial for better consumer satisfaction, particularly in texture improvement.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes are widely recognized as a significant impediment to the achievement of optimal sheep production outcomes. The management of these parasites is predominantly dependent on the utilization of chemical anthelmintics. In recent decades, there has been a growing concern regarding the emergence of anthelmintic resistance across different categories of anthelmintics, as well as the issue of drug residues in animal products. Consequently, there has been a renewed interest in exploring medicinal plants as a potential alternative source of anthelmintics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the anthelmintic effectiveness of Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) steenis uses scientifically established in vivo on PE goats. The treatments applied in this study were made up of binahong leaf extract at concentrations of 0 mg/ml, 5 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml, and 15 mg/ml. The variable subject study was the efficacy of binahong leaf extract on Ostertagia sp. eggs. The findings of the investigation on the extract derived from binahong leaves exhibited a significant impact on diminishing the quantity of Ostertagia sp. eggs. The binahong leaf extract concentration of 15mg/ml exhibited the highest efficacy in reducing worm eggs, resulting in a reduction rate of 97.5%.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Low conception rate, long calving interval, and poor calf production limits the profitability of livestock production keeping food security a concern. In the ASEAN region, artificial insemination (AI) remains the most common reproductive biotechnology used for livestock breeding to produce up-graded and genetically superior animals that could address the need for food and income to the rural farming communities. Field technicians play a crucial role in carrying out AI to enhance reproduction especially in the remote areas. While ultrasonography emerged as an efficient tool to check the reproductive organ of animals for efficient reproduction, the cost of the machine hinders its availability and access by Field technicians. Skills on palpation per rectum of the ovarian dynamics and tonicity of the uterus are important assets. This paper discusses the importance of Female Reproductive Organ Monitoring or FROM in the economical and efficient application of AI in the field and enhance livestock reproduction. Strategies to develop the skills of AI practitioners are outlined to come out to skilled technicians who could execute an accurately check the reproductive status of the animals and determine the perfect time to carry out an effective and efficient AI. This method is helpful in determining the timing of AI making the resources, time and efforts of the technicians maximized and livestock production more efficient.
Comparability of Pregnancy Specific Protein-B (PSPB) Concentration in Serum and Urine of Kedah-Kelantan (KK) Cattle
Authors: Hanafiah N A , Mat K , Rusli N D , Hasnita C H , Rahman M M 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of serum and urine PSPB levels based on different biomarkers, such as serum and urine. Serum PSPB levels significantly increased from day 0 to day 164 (P<0.05). However, the PSPB urine concentration through the ELISA test showed higher concentration and reached the sensitivity of the ELISA test from Day 0 until Day 164 after AI. The results of urine biomarkers at Day 0, Day 42, and Day 164 were not significant (P>0.05). Serum PSPB production begins to be established after day 24 of parturition due to embryonic development. Furthermore, the urine PSPB concentration is considered an abundant protein circulating in the animal body and ready to be excreted in the urine. In this study, the ELISA test was unsuitable for detecting pregnancy. However, urine biomarkers can potentially become biomarkers by studying the range of concentrations of PSPB that can be considered pregnancy. In addition, the PSPB protein allows for more prolonged survival in the bovine body and decreases gradually from the 22nd to the 54th day after calving. The results demonstrate that PSPB can detect pregnancy early in pregnancy using biomarkers and evolution. Therefore, this study could be improved by examining PSPB levels of pregnant and non-pregnant cattle.

Abstract
Presently, there are many more commercial applications for thermoelectric Peltier coolers, notably portable air/water refrigerators, electronics cooling processes, thermal management systems in medical applications, and others. Thus, the goal of this project is to develop an experimentally-based optimisation procedure for powered by sunlight peltier-based air conditioners and heaters for use in hospitals that are capable of running continuously. This enables patients to cook meals in the heating element and keep drugs in the cold compartment inside the cooler, both functions being incorporated into one model while also reducing the device’s dimensions and requirement for space. In this study, a model that employs perturb and observe (P&O) approaches applied to solar systems under constant and partially shady circumstances was powered by the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methodology. Additionally, the Internet of Things modules offer user and autonomous management, while the entire system is tracked and shown on an OLED. An appropriate number of modules also reduces the expense per cooling unit for Peltier coolers and warmers.
