This project investigates the effect of polymeric binders and internal lubricant on mechanical properties and microstructure of sintered alumina. Three different formulations of alumina-binders were used which contained 3 wt% of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and various amount of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) from 1 wt% to 3 wt%. About 3 wt% of stearic acid was used as an internal lubricant. Spray dry is the method that used to coat alumina powder with binders. Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) was applied to determine the decomposition temperature of binders in the alumina-binder samples. Diametral compressive test was conducted to determine the tensile strength meanwhile the microstructure of fracture surface of sintered alumina was characterized by means of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The TGA analysis results show the suitable temperature for debinding process is 450oC. It is shown that the shrinkage of sample is increased with increasing the binder content and it has achieved to the ma.....

This paper discusses part of the findings in a case study conducted to student teachers who were in teacher education programme in a selected university. The discussion focuses on the findings of interviews done to the students regarding with their readiness for their teaching practice or teaching practice at schools where there were placed. Open ended interviews were done to randomly ten students who had gone to the schools for their social visit before they go for their teaching practice. Audio data were collected from the participants of the interviews. The data were analysed and categorised thematically. There were main themes of the readiness that emerged from the analysis include social readiness, psychological readiness, general pedagogical knowledge readiness, pedagogical content knowledge readiness and basic skills readiness. The findings show that the student teachers admitted confidently that they were ready socially and psychologically for their teaching practice. They were.....

The focal point of this study is to investigate the impact of total primary energy consumption, gross domestic product, index of industrial production and employment toward the total carbon (CO2) emission in Malaysia from 1986 to 2018. This study employs the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) model in developing the estimation model between dependent and independent variables. The diagnostic model consist autocorrelation, multicolinearity, heteroscedasticity and normality tests were employed in order to test the model whether is adequate or not. The empirical results showed that the total primary energy consumption is the significant factors that affecting the CO2 emissions while per capita real gross domestic product is the least impactful factor in Malaysia. There are positive relationships between the independent variables on CO2 emissions. Therefore, this study suggested that implementing policies are needed in order to developing economy in Malaysia. Adopt new technologies or install sol.....

This study is conducted to examine the relationship between green lifestyle among lower income group households and their spending pattern on green products. Compared to previous studies, the novelty of this study is important due to the increase in households’ cost of living that is related to a spending pattern on non-green products. The rising cost of living among these households’ groups may have its influence on green products in three aspects, namely consumer perception, practice level and willingness level. Therefore, this study focuses on monthly expenditure pattern of the lowest income group (B40) on green products. This study uses the quantitative approach through questionnaires distribution and employs a method of multiple linear regression models, in estimating the augmented consumer behaviour model. In general, the findings show a positive relationship between income and expenditure on green products. In other words, increase in income will lead consumers to buy more g.....
