The properties of poly(Latic Acid) (PLA)/Hydroxyapatite (FsHAp) composite prepared through solvent casting techniques
Ismail Zainol
In this study, the properties of composites produced using solvent casting technique from poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and fish scale hydroxyapatite (FsHA) were investigated. Some amount of FsHAp powders (from 10 to 70 wt%) were added to the PLA solution and stirred for eight hours after the PLA was dissolved in the dichloromethane (DCM) solvent. The homogeneous mixture of PLA and FsHA was poured into the metal mould and dried in the oven for 4 hours to produce a dried PLA/FsHA composite sheet. The PLA/FsHA composite sheet with different FsHA filler contents was successfully prepared. These composites were characterised by Fourier transform infared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile tester and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It can be seen that by addition of 50 wt% FsHA filler contents gave the highest Youngs Modulus and tensile strength values of 2114.8 MPa and 23.3 MPa, respectively due to effective interaction between fillers and matrix.

Developing forecasting model for future pandemic applications based on COVID-19 data 2020-2022
Nurul Hila Zainuddin
Improving forecasting particularly time series forecasting accuracy, efficiency and precisely become crucial for the authorities to forecast, monitor, and prevent the COVID-19 cases so that its spread can be controlled more effectively. However, the results obtained from prediction models are inaccurate, imprecise as well as inefficient due to linear and non-linear patterns exist in the data set, respectively. Therefore, to produce more accurate and efficient COVID-19 prediction value that is closer to the true COVID-19 value, a hybrid approach has been implemented. Thus, aims of this study is (1) to propose a hybrid ARIMA-SVM model to produce better forecasting results. (2) to investigate in terms of the performance of the proposed models and percentage improvement against ARIMA and SVM models. statistical measurements such as MSE, RMSE, MAE, and MAPE then conducted to verify that the proposed models are better than ARIMA and SVM models. Empirical results with three real datasets of w.....

Using Jigsaw in Teaching Reading Comprehension across Different Personality and Psychology Awareness
Robe'ah Yusuf
In order to teach reading, one must teach all of the components of language (hearing, speaking and writing) as well as reading. As soon as they've mastered listening and speaking, reading is usually provided. We wanted to see whether or not there was a correlation between personality and the jigsaw's ability to improve reading comprehension, as well as whether or not it had an influence on an extrovert and an introvert's performance. before administering jigsaw or conventional therapy to the experimental group, the researcher administers a questionnaire on personality to the students. The study was conducted at a university with 55 eleventh-grade students, with 30 students in the experimental group being 20 percent extroverts and 10 percent introverts, and 25 students in the control group being 15 percent extroverts and 10 percent introverts. As a way of tasting the strength of a hypothesis's association with several variables, the researcher used an experimental factorial design. The .....
