Kajian ini meneliti integrasi kecerdasan buatan (AI) dalam kurikulum mata pelajaran Matematik serta cabaran dan implikasi yang dihadapi oleh guru sekolah rendah di Pulau Bum-Bum, Semporna, Sabah. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, data dikumpul melalui temubual mendalam dengan guru-guru yang terlibat secara langsung dalam pengajaran Matematik di pulau ini. Kajian menumpukan kepada pemahaman tentang pengalaman guru dalam menggunakan AI, halangan yang mereka hadapi, serta perubahan dalam peranan dan kaedah pengajaran akibat daripada penggunaan teknologi tersebut. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa walaupun guru-guru mengakui potensi AI dalam meningkatkan keberkesanan pengajaran, mereka berhadapan dengan pelbagai cabaran termasuk kekangan kemahiran teknologi, kekurangan lathan khusus dan infrastruktur yang terhad. Implikasi utama intergrasi AI turut menuntut guru untuk menyesuaikan pendekatan pedagogi serta memperkukuhkan kemahiran digital bagi memenuhi keperluan pembelajaran masa kini. Kaji.....

The study indicates that educational games can significantly enhance learning motivation and effectiveness. This study employed descriptive _ qualitative method to evaluate the features and acceptability of a proposed game-based learning material by three expert teachers. It also examined the material's effectiveness on the interest of (n=24) students in grades 4 to 6 at Tabugon Elementary School. The evaluation utilized the Department of Education's standard LRMDS instrument, alongside a modified math interest inventory checklist. Findings revealed increased the student level of interest in solving basic math operations, with students showing positive attitudes towards its use. The study concluded that the game-based learning material effectively boosts students' interest and aids in learning basic math concepts. Keywords: Gamification, Math-Interest Inventory Checklist, Basic Operations, Math Intervention..

Disaster relief logistics is vital for effective disaster preparedness and response, involving strategic depots and distribution networks. Intelligent decision-making optimizes routing and customer targeting, while heuristics predict expenses for round-trip deployments. Recent efforts aim to develop temporary logistics solutions to meet demand and enhance coverage. Presently, distribution networks designed to address the lack of a strategic autonomous intelligent relief distribution network also prioritizes specific proposals that involve tradeoff in prioritizing demographic priorities while optimizing resource allocation for tasks. This research employs computational intelligence to improve a scheduling model for distributing commodities in flood-prone, low-lying divisions of the Sarawak region. To attain minimal resource use and optimal route coverage, the Multi-Depot Vehicle Routing Problem, tailored for this scenario, integrates advanced routing optimization techniques with demogra.....

This study explores the application of the weighted average method for solving the Burger-Fisher equation, a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) of significant interest in various scientific disciplines. Nonlinear PDEs, such as the Burger-Fisher equation, are fundamental in describing complex physical, biological, and engineering phenomena but pose challenges for both analytical and numerical solutions. The weighted average method, known for its ability to converge rapidly to exact solutions, offers a promising approach for tackling such equations. By discretizing both spatial and temporal derivatives using a combination of forward, backward, and central differences, the method approximates solutions with high accuracy and stability. Conducting convergence and stability analyses, this study elucidates the computational requirements and performance characteristics of the weighted average method. Utilizing mathematical software like MATLAB and MAPLE, the method's implementation.....

We proposed and analyzed a nonlinear mathematical model for typhoid fever and optimal control in a community with overpopulation. The model considered the effect of environmental precautions on the transmission of typhoid fever. We obtained the basic reproduction number denoting the epidemic indicator. We proved the local and global asymptomatic stability conditions for disease-free and endemic equilibrium. The model exhibits strategies for optimal control of typhoid fever, such as preventive strategies (environmental sanitation, proper hygiene, vaccination) and the treatment strategy. The numerical simulation of typhoid fever disease transmission and its maximum control summarized that prevention and treatment are the best methods for eradicating the disease in society. Since 0.1174, R0 _ which is less than one, it follows that the disease-free equilibrium is asymptomatically stable, and that the disease will always die out.

A mobile water treatment plant was designed, constructed and tested to provide potable drinking water from almost all-natural water sources during military operations and emergency situations. The treatment plant was designed to fit into a Tata LPTA 713/32 military grade truck with payload capacity of 2500kg.In order to design a plant to treat water from different sources, several water treatment methods were analyzed including existing mobile water treatment plants in the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) to give a combination of treatment processes that effectively treat 2.16 m3 of water per day serving 505 cadets their daily water requirements with no time lapse per treatment cycle within a short period of time. The treatment flow process majorly involves the use of ion exchange unit, filtration units, water softening unit and reverse osmosis as the main treatment unit. Autodesk inventor software was used in the design and analysis of the locally constructed components. After the selec.....

Constructing examination papers has been a lengthy and tedious procedure that is commonly raise by issues with content validity, reliability, and fairness. Therefore, investigating alternative methods such as item banking using Rasch analysis may present a more practical and efficient approach for creating assessments. This study aims to demonstrate how to develop an item bank using Rasch analysis and assess the reliability and validity of the final exam paper for a statistics course that uses item bank as its foundation. In this research, Statistics course which consist of 7 questions are divided into 21 items based on test specification table (TST). The results from Rasch analysis are recorded in an item bank interface created by using excel. The item bank interface facilitates easy access to a large variety of pretested items, allowing for the creation of diverse and balanced exam papers. A well-developed item bank will be a great assistance to exam setters as it makes the process o.....

Since certain data are ignored owing to noise, coping with the complex data with neutrosophic features is problematic. This paper suggests a neutrosophic set strategy for interpolating the Bezier curve to overcome this issue. Thus, depending on the neutrosophic set notion, this work introduces the Bezier curve interpolation method for neutrosophic data. Using the neutrosophic set and its attributes, the neutrosophic control point is specified first. After that, the Bernstein basis function is linked to the control point and yields a neutrosophic Bezier. This curve is then shown using an interpolation approach that includes curves indicating membership, indeterminacy, and non-membership. Before the conclusion of this article, there is a numeric example and an algorithm for developing the neutrosophic Bezier curve using interpolation. Based on the results obtained, the neutrosophic set can deal with the complex data by treating all data including the uncertainty data as indeterminacy mem.....
