Abstract: Understanding abstract engineering mathematics concepts for engineering students especially in Vector Calculus has been a nationwide issue. The effect of this situation is the poor performance of engineering students. This study compares Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s (UKM) weekly syllabus of Vector Calculus with some other 59 universities across the world to find the common topics in Vector Calculus. These topics will be included in lab sessions, an innovation way of teaching Vector Calculus. These topics will be included in lab sessions, an innovative way of teaching Vector Calculus. Teaching Vector Calculus using computational tools has been shown positive result by many recent studies. Basic complex number, vector functions, partial derivatives, line integrals, double integral, triple integral, Green’s theorem, Stokes’ theorem are the common topics in Vector Calculus which are suggested for lab session will be conducted for two hours and this will add to a total of eight weeks of laboratory sessions. In future it is suggested that laboratory sessions should be a part of Vector Calculus syllabus. The curriculum of Vector Calculus subject needs to be reviewed. This innovative teaching method helps to visualize graphs and understand difficult concept in Vector Calculus tremendously. In addition, tedious calculation can be computed easily using the computational method.

2 002-kch An Interview-Based Approach to Elicit User Interface Design for Web Applications Nur Atikah Shamat, Shahida Sulaiman, Jacline Sudah Sinpang Department of Software Engineering, Faculty of Computing, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310, Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

Abstract: Elicitation of user interface design for Web applications is a process to gather precise information from users to aid software engineers in designing the user interface according to users’ wants and needs. Thereare several issues that are related to the user interface design if they do not fulfill users’ expectations. For instance, software engineers misunderstand what users need and lack of information from users about the requirements to design the user interfaces. Thus, the elicitation of user interface design is vital in order to reduce the problem especially for Web applications. This research proposes an interview-based approach to elicit user interface design for Web applications. A prototype tool has beendeveloped to help software engineers elicit the user interface requirements from users precisely.

3 003-kch Knowledge-Based Requirements Engineering in Detecting Ambiguity Jacline Sudah Sinpang, Shahida Sulaiman, Norsham Idris Department of Software Engineering, Faculty of Computing, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310, Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

Abstract: Requirements engineering is a phase where the elicitation and analysis of requirements are crucial. Low qualityrequirements couldcost a softwareproject to experience failure,as it does not meet users’ needs. One of the causesof poor quality requirementsis ambiguity. Software engineers or more specifically system analystsnormally gatherrequirementsin natural language where it is easy for both developer and stakeholders to understand each other. However,natural language in requirements gathering is prone to ambiguity. Ambiguous requirementswill cause developersto understanddifferently from what the stakeholders actually require. Thus, it is important to avoid ambiguous requirements. As there are many types of ambiguity, this study focusesonthevaguenessoffunctional requirements. The study implementsrule-based reasoning in knowledge-basedrequirements engineering to detect vagueness. Rules for the proposed prototype toolare obtainedfrom journals and expertsin requirements engineering.The evaluation shows that diverse categories of vagueness can be detected earlier using the proposed technique and its tool.

Abstract: Miscibility behaviour of hexanoyl chitosan and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) blends was investigated using dilute solution viscometry (DSV) and FTIR spectroscopy. The difference between the experimental and theoretical values of intrinsic viscosity, Δ[η]m and the thermodynamic parameter, α were used to investigate the miscibility behaviour of the blends. FTIR studies suggested that there is no interaction between hexanoyl chitosan and PVC. Both viscometric and FTIR results showed that hexanoyl chitosan and PVC are immiscible for all compositions under investigation.

5 006-kch Evaluating extreme value rainfall using mixed exponential distribution with Advanced Weather Generator Noorshazwani O. 1, Norzaida A.2*and Syafrina A.H.3 1,2UTM Razak School of Engineering and Advanced Technology, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Jalan Sultan Yahya Petra, 54100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia *[email protected] 3Department of Science in Engineering, Kuliyyah of Engineering, International Islamic University of Malaysia, 53100 Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia

Abstract: Climate change is often associated with the increase in average global temperatures. Changes in rainfall regime is one of the factors that is used to determine the impact of climate change. One of the major consequence of climate change is severe weather events such as the increase occurrence of extreme rainfalls. Advanced Weather Generator (AWE-GEN) which uses meteorological data as input has the potential in predicting extreme events. The aims of this study is to proposed mixed exponential distribution function as the rainfall intensity using AWE-GEN model and evaluate the ability of the newly developed model in simulating extreme rainfall. Parameters of mixed exponential distribution theoretically represents light and heavy rainfall. The study site is Kemaman, Malaysia a site which is often affected by flood. Model input uses historical meteorological variables of forty years at hourly scale, specifically precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed. Results show the AWE-GEN model is capable of simulating the monthly rainfall very well and capture extreme rainfall events. The estimated parameters obtained revealed that the wet hourly series at study site is mainly dominated by the heavy rainfall at short duration. The results from this potentially be used in providing invaluable input to authorities requiring detailed rainfall planning and forecasts.

Abstract: Geopolymer (GP) is a new generation of binder material in construction industry. Production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) utilizes extensive energy as well as it emits large amount of CO2 into atmosphere when compared to GP production. This paper focuses on the effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers, sand/fly ash and water/ geopolymer solids ratios on the workability and compressive strength of fly ash based geopolymer composite. Curing temperature, NaOH molarity and Na2Sio3/NaOH were kept as 60ᵒC, 8M and 2.5 respectively. Total of 2% (v/v) PVA fibers with cut length of 8mm and diameter of 0.04mm were utilized. Furthermore, sand/fly ash and water/ geopolymer (W/GP) solids ratios were varied in a range of 0-0.8 and 0.22-0.26 respectively. Results were evaluated with the help of response surface methodology. Reduction in workability was observed with the addition of fibers in matrix. Moreover, increase in sand/fly ash ratio caused decrease in workability and vise versa for increase in water/ geopolymer solids ratio. Furthermore, Inclusion of fibers did not show considerable change in compressive strength of geopolymer, however when workability of matrix mixture is relatively low, abrupt decrease in compressive strength was observed with the addition of fibers. Increase in sand to fly ash ratio contributes in compressive strength up-to a certain limit. Additionally, increase in W/GP solids ratio caused reduction in compressive strength. . Finally, multi-objective optimization technique reveals that mix having W/GP solid =0.228848, and Sand/Fly ash =0.120947 gives optimized value.

8 011-kch Variation of Particulate Matter (PM10) in a Semi-urban Area during 2015 Malaysia Haze Nurul Bahiyah Abd Wahid, Helmiah Abdul Razak, Rabieatul Adawiyah Amzah Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, 35900 Tanjung Malim, Perak, Malaysia [email protected]

Abstract: Particulate matter (PM10) is one of the most dangerous air pollutants released during haze phenomena which can disrupt lung function, circulatory system and reduce visibility. The aims of this study were to determine the trend of PM10 in Tanjung Malim, Perak during 2015 haze episode. The four months trend of PM10 was analyzed, along with daily trend for the highest concentration of PM10 recorded during the haze episode. In addition, the correlation between PM10 and meteorological parameters, such as wind speed, temperature, and humidity were also analyzed. Result indicated that, PM10 level during September and October 2015, have mostly exceeded the Recommended Malaysian Air Quality Guidelines (RMAQG) by Malaysian Government (150 μg/m3). From the 72h backward trajectories, it can be stated that most of the pollutants came from biomass burning in neighbouring country, during the southwest monsoon. Changes in PM10 concentration were possibly influenced by meteorological factors which play an important role in haze episode.

Abstract: Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) initiative which has been implemented in Malaysia and shows it success when four case studies



20

reported SSE communities or organization displayed efforts in helping the public on exiting economic crisis. However, the information miss-governance destroys the SSE business value, slow down organization and creates unnecessary risk to the SSE communities when the government and state neglected SSE successful initiatives in combating economic crisis of the public, yet not having them as a solution to the economic downturn. A case study was conducted to identify implication of information governance towards social solidarity economy initiative. Information Governance Framework were tested to two focus group using empirical study. The framework was simulated on the focus group to analyze its significant impact. The results of the study indicates that information governance increase income generation with significant achievement. The results of this study is important to demonstrate application of IG towards SSE decreases opportunity of business operation mistakes and dark data composition.

10 013-kch Metacognitive Strategies in Teaching and Learning Computer Programming Siti Nurulain Mohd Rum and Maslina Zolkepli Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Computer Science & Information System, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43330, Serdang, Malaysia

Abstract: It has been noted that teaching and learning programming is challenging in computer science education and this is a universal problem. Research showed that learning to understand and to code programs is broadly perceived to be very challenging in computer science education. This is due to the demand for a greater degree of practical ability rather than the theory alone. Studies revealed that students with metacognitive management skills and strategies perform well in programming compared to lower-performing students. In addition, the more difficult the problem in programming task, the greater the need for metacognitive control of the programmer. The cognitive processes involved in learning computer programming required the development of metacognitive skills of a novice programmer. In this study, a survey was conducted to investigate the metacognitive awareness and strategies of learning Computer Programming. To understand student’s metacognitive level, an exploration of their knowledge and awareness level of metacognition using MAI in learning computer programming was performed. Interview sessions with expert lecturer were conducted to investigate the metacognitive approaches used during teaching computer programming. An observation study was done to investigate a pedagogical approach to assist students during the computer programming class. Students were also interviewed to further recognize their learning behaviour and the type of metacognitive strategies used in learning computer programming. In summary, the study discovered correlations between the metacognitive and academic achievements. Several metacognitive strategies were applied throughout teaching and learning computer programming for effective learning.

Exploration of Constructs Best Practices of Autism Sports Risk Management Fatimah Mustaffa and Mohamad @ Mohd. Sadek Mustaffa Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Perempuan Melayu, Jalan Maktab 75900, Melaka Malaysia and Universiti Teknologi Mara, Shah Alam, Malaysia.

Abstract: Exploration of Constructs Best Practices of Autism Sports Risk Management (ECBP-ASRM) was built to identify the best practices of sports risk management among Autism sports instructors in Malaysia for the purpose of building instruments ECBP-ASRM. This study will also confirm whether the resulting constructs are a factor in determining the criteria ECBP-ASRM. In determining the construct, Classic Test Theory (CTT) using qualitative methods with two approaches is used (i) based on the analysis of the document by making literature review and (ii) interviews. Rasch model factor analysis using Primary Component Analysis on residuals is used in this study to ascertain and validate constructs or factors. It seeks to determine the construction of the construct and identify the possibility of other factors that may affect the construct. This study is necessary as there is no ECBP-ASRM model at the Special Education School, Ministry of Education Malaysia. The metadology of this study was carried out on a quality basis through the analysis of documents. The findings show that the ECBP-ASRM construct is an introduction, presentation, participation and feedback. ECBP-ASRM is important because it ensures that Autism sports program is safe.

12 003-kch-ricset A Computer-based Mental Mapping Skills Assessment Tool Lau Shan Chang, Lau Bee Theng and Pan Zheng Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak, Malaysia

Abstract: For visually impaired individuals, there are two major senses that play important roles to help them get through with their daily routines, and those are by recognizing their environment via auditory orientation and tactile feedback. Individuals who are newly visually impaired should undergo an orientation and mobility training to help them learn essential safe travel skills in both their home and around their community. Part of this sensory training encompasses the strengthening of the mental mapping skills. Mental mapping helps a person to determine their current location and their intended destination with relation to other objects in their current environmental space. This research focused on using a computer-based assessment tool to evaluate the mental mapping skill of the participants. An evaluation with 25 participants was conducted using the proposed computer based mental mapping skills assessment tool. The participants were categorized into visually impaired with no vision, visually impaired with low vision, and sighted. By evaluating the game times and game scores gathered by the participants throughout the assessment sessions as well as their sketch scores conducted within 7

days, two hypotheses were evaluated. The null hypothesis H0, states that the assessment results do not show any inconsistencies for both the total game time and total sketch score throughout the three sessions. The alternative hypothesis H1, theorizes that the assessment results show inconsistencies for both the total game time and total sketch score during the course of the evaluation sessions. The results of the evaluation showed that over the course of three sessions, the scores of the participants were consistent. This proves the proposed computer-based mental mapping skills assessment tool is a reliable assessment tool which provides scores that are aligned with human’s mental mapping skills, which do not fluctuate in a short period of time.

13 006-kch-aicmcs Tawau-Polloc Port Cross Border Special Economic Zone as A Development Path for Bangsamoro Autonomous Region 1Abdul Rahim Anuar, 1Laila Suriya Ahmad Apandi, and 1Rusdi Omar 1School of International Studies, Universiti Utara Malaysia, Sintok, Kedah, Malaysia Abstract: This research analyzed the feasibility of the Tawau-Polloc Port Cross-Border Special Economic Zone (CBSEZ) under the three-tier regional development corridor framework, which consists of the Greater Sulu Sulawesi Economic Corridor, Southern Mindanao Economic Growth Corridor, and Bangsamoro Development Corridor. The establishment of the Tawau-Polloc Port CBSEZ will integrate the economic regions of Sabah and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region through bilateral trade and investment. The formation of this zone is supported by the respective economic fundamentals and factor endowment between the two regions that complement one another. The implementation of Tawau-Polloc Port CBSEZ will further strengthen the barter trade relationship that has existed for centuries between Tawau and the islands of Tawi-Tawi, Sulu, and Basilan. Tawau-Polloc Port CBSEZ needs to be implemented in stages and in line with the Bangsamoro Development Plan (2014-2019). Tawau-Tawi-Tawi Special Economic Zone is the first initiative in establishing the CBSEZ and it will be extended to Tawau-Sulu, Tawau-Basilan, and eventually to Tawau-Polloc Port. However, there exists a shadow economy in the barter trade relationships between Tawau and Tawi-Tawi, Sulu, and Basilan. This could become a barrier to the implementation of the CBSEZ. Therefore, the laws and regulations under the CBSEZ need to be formulated clearly and transparently to overcome the challenges associated with the shadow economy. An efficient and transparent trade-investment administration would guarantee the success of the Tawau-Polloc Port CBSEZ and have an economic spillover effect on the economy of Bangsamoro and Sabah.

Abstract: In this research, sago mill effluent was treated using anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR). Seven HRT from 10 to 1.5 days were tested to evaluate the methane production from sago mill effluent. The findings revealed the highest methane production rate was found at 1.288 L CH4/L reactor. d under HRT of 2 days The results showed that COD removals decreased from 70% to 47% as HRT was reduced from 10 to 2 days. The HRT 1.5 days was found critical for the studied system, which leads to decreased in methane production, yield and COD removal. Overall, ASBR was capable to treat sago mill effluent in producing methane by means of anaerobic digestion.
