Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengekstrak dan mencirikan hidroksiaptit (HA) daripada tulang lembu dan sisik ikan menggunakan kaedah rawatan alkali pada kepekatan yang berbeza. Spektroskopi inframerah (FTIR) dan analisis pembelauan sinar-X (XRD) telah digunakan untuk mencirikan bahan HA daripada tulang lembu (HATL) dan sisik ikan (HASI). Analisis FTIR terhadap sampel HATL dan HASI membuktikan kewujudan kumpulan berfungsi fosfat dan hidroksil di dalam kedua-dua sample. Keputusan XRD menunjukkan difragtogram HA tulang lembu dan HA sisik ikan sepadan dengan difragtogram HA piawai. Keputusan XRD mengesahkan kehadiran fasa kedua iaitu beta trikalsium fosfat (β-TCP) daripada HASI selepas disinter pada suhu 1200 °C. Analisis termogravimetri (TGA) menunjukkan tulang lembu dan sisik ikan yang dirawat dengan 5M NaOH berjaya menyingkirkan bahan organik yang paling tinggi. Mikroskop imbasan elektron (SEM) telah digunakan untuk mengkaji morfologi apatit yang diperolehi. Analisis SEM menun.....

An island in Malaysia bear witness to the survival of Vietnamese boat people fleeing their war-torn country in the mid-70s. Thousands of Vietnamese boat people were granted temporary refuge on Bidong Island while they were processed for resettlement by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The island situated off the coast of Terengganu was designated as the principal refugee camp for Vietnamese boat people in Malaysia in August 1978 with the Malaysia government towing any arriving boatloads of refugees to the island. Despite its ability to receive 4,500 refugees, the less than one square mile island ended up with a refugee population of more than 40,000 by June 1979. This paper presents a literature assessment of Malaysia's strategy and policy adopted during that period of time, as well as current legal framework on refugee and asylum seekers, to better understand how Malaysia dealt with Vietnamese boat people and how it is currently dealing with refugees and asyl.....
