This research project investigated the aesthetics of plants patterning formation through the exploration of design elements and principles based on the concept of repetition and difference (similarity and variation). The research project aimed to explore the concept of repetition and difference within the context of natural plants’ organic patterning mechanism and to reinterprets the phenomenon of repetition and difference as agents in unifying the element order and chaos within the plants' organic patterning system, creating a balanced and harmoniousformation. The key elements in the research project consist of organic motifs of magnification, the proportional ratio of Fibonacci, colour harmonies, rhythmic organisations and the illusions of depth. The key artists involved in this research are Yayoi Kusama, GiuliaRicci, Richard Anuazkiewicz, Andy Goldsworthy, Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Sol LeWitt, Richard Deacon, Peter Barnitz, Albert Yonathan Setyawan, and James Turrel.....

Alat bantu mengajar amat penting dalam proses pengajaran. Pengaplikasian alat bantu mengajar dalam proses PdP adalah perlu bagi guru agar penyampaian maklumat disampaikan dengan lebih jelas dan sistematik agar lebih mudah difahami. Penyelidikan ini bertujuan membangun dan mengaplikasikan alat bantu mengajar Pengatucaraan Kawalan Logik (PLC) sebagai sarana bagi membantu guru dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan pencapaian akademik pelajar pada kursus motor elektrik di sekolah vokasional. Alat bantu ini telah dibangunkan oleh penyelidik berdasarkan model reka bentuk ADDIE dan telah disahkan oleh tiga orang pakar. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kuasi eksperimen dan melibatkan dua kumpulan pelajar yang mempelajari kursus motor elektrik. Populasi (N=333) dalam kajian ini adalah pelajar sekolah vokasional tingkatan 3 di kawasan Aceh, Indonesia. Bilangan sampel adalah seramai 98 orang, terdiri dari kumpulan rawatan (n=50) dan kumpulan kawalan (n=48) yang dipilih dengan teknik rawak klu.....

The objective of the study is to measure the effect of emotional competency module training on the emotional intelligence and automatic negative thoughts. A quasi-experiment with a pre and post-test design and a control group is used where 58 participants were chosen using convenience sampling; 32 in the experimental group and 26 in the control group. Findings showed that there was a significant difference between the pre and post-test of the experiment group for both overall emotional intelligence scores and automatic negative thoughts. The emotional intelligence post-test scores indicated that the experimental group (M = 2.98, SD = 0.43) scored significantly higher than the control group (M = 2.20, SD = 0.58), t(56) = 5.87, p < .05. Additionally, there is a significant difference in the emotional intelligence scores between the pre-test (M =2.36, SD = 0.35) and post-test (M = 2.98, SD = 0.43), t(31) = -6.02, p = 0.00 scores of the experimental group. An independent-samples t-test ind.....

The importance of Science to national development cannot be disputed. That is why Basic Science is taught as a foundational science subject in the Junior Secondary Schools in Nigeria. It is meant to inculcate basic scientific knowledge and skills in students. However, the subject, in which students’ performance is low, has also not enjoyed a plethora of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools to support its learning. Given these challenges, an investigation of the effect of personalized strategy on achievement in Basic Science was carried out. The study employed the pretest, posttest group, quasi-experimental design. The sample comprised of intact classes of year three (JSS 3) Basic Science students (87) from two junior secondary schools in Ijebu-Ode Local Government Area. Using the Balloting method, the students were assigned experimental and control groups. Two stimulus instruments (Teachers’ Conventional Teaching Guide (TCTG) and Teachers’ Instructional Guide on P.....

Optimum stability of tunnel structures and ground movements are influenced by excavation, and these are issues of greater concern as far as the stability of any underground structure is concerned. The critical area of concern is the stability of the tunnel crown which requires special attention to ensure the stability of the tunnel structures and the safety of both man powers and the equipment used. Before the advent of powerful design aids tools such as numerical analysis software, the tunnel’s design was primarily based on experience. The use of numerical analysis software has made it possible to model and predict the actual site conditions to achieve safer and more economical designs. This study aims to understand and predict the stability of the tunnel crown with respect to excavation depth by using Plaxis 2D v8 finite element analysis software and East Coast Railway, Malaysia tunnel project as a case study. The site condition was modeled and excavated at various tunnel depths of.....

In this work, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was produced by green reduction process utilizing rose water as reducing agent. Various reduction temperature were also carried out to investigate its effect to the produced rGO. Prior to the reduction process, GO was initially synthesized by Hummers’ method utilizing coconut shell (CS) as initial carbon source material. The fabricated CS-based GO and rGO were then characterized to investigate their morphological, structural and electrical properties. Based on the measurement, rGO produced by reduction process at room temperature (RT) possessed the best sample among others. rGO_RT showed the highest electrical conductivity (0,08793 ± 0,00174 mS) compared to CS-based GO or other rGO samples...
