The  growth  of  the  graphic  design  industry  plays  an  important  role  in  the  transmission  of  messages  using  visual  communication design presentations. Thus, the lack of exposure among students to the creative and aesthetic aspects leads to problems in producing high-quality graphic works. This study discusses the application of activity and semiotic theories in analyzinggraphic production creative ideas in line with the  current pedagogy.  Based on  the  literature  review  conducted,  an  assumption framework based on  a  combination  of  semiotic  and activity  theories  was developedafter  the  reflection wasdone.  This  study  used  the  action  research  approach  on  the  MSG3023-Computer Graphics Studio course. A total of 53 Bachelor of Art Educationstudents participated in this study from the first semester of the 2017/2018 session to the second semester of the 2018/2019 session. Meaningful learning will be achieved whe.....

The embodiment of spiritual characters (supernatural characters) in saba ritual dance performance is the main focus of this study. Through the qualitative method with the ethnography approach, this work seeks to explain the relationship between behaviour and culture. An analysis was done through the cosmology theory application which observes that the natural phenomenon covers real and supernatural events also the position of the people in it.

Supplier selection is the most crucial element in a hypermarket’s supply chain system. This paper verifies the past research framework of supplier selection criteria by developing a supplier selection decision support model based on the modified Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the integrated Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) model. Methodology - This paper presents a methodology to develop a theoretical model and literature analysis is executed in the area of supplier selection decision support model. Stratified sampling was chosen as sampling technique in this study to select hypermarket located in Selangor, Malaysia. All standalone Giant hypermarkets were selected. A combined theory model for the supplier selection employed the typical stages of the supplier selection process: data gathering, AHP calculation, SCOR evaluation, and the implementation of decision making.

There is hardly any forum pertaining to India-Japan relations without a reference to India’s Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing? (1983), portraying a retired soldier after WWII who makes his living by collecting empty wine bottles, caused an immediate sensation and was nominated for 11 Golden Horse Awards. Not being able to speak, he substitutes the vendor’s cry of the five Taiwanese syllables jiu gan tan buei bo? (any wine bottles for sale?) with a five-note tune played on a trumpet. This tune, which echoes throughout the entire film, quickly permeated Taiwanese consciousness. This paper examines the multifunctional role of this simple motif, a descent of three neighboring pentatonic pitches. Acting at first as the vendor’s voice to collect bottles, this motif later becomes a way to cheer up and communicate with Mei, the abandoned baby girl he found. It soon symbolizes Mei’s pain, humiliation (her schoolmates sing it to tease her), and desire to escape from poverty. It also represents.....

Most of the viral shared around the world arouse peoples’ conceit toward Viralee for some purposes. Viral are poised to become the chain of information, embedded communication features of the world around us. Analysis from empirical evidence proves that unrestraint of information processes for social media users signify the impact of information sharing paradigm. The Viralor, is creator or primal source of information chain who create the viral whilst Viralee is a for.....

Background: a composite nanoparticles containing Titanium Dioxide are synthesized bypulsed laser ablation. oxide nanoparticles NPs have wide ranges of physical, chemical and biological properties. The main advantages In the present work, studying the characterization of colloid TiO2 NPs were synthesis by PLAL and investigated the antibacterial activity of colloidal TiO2NPs compared to the antibacterial activity of synthesized composite nanoparticles was tested against four different pathogen bacteria two-gram negative (Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae )), institute of bioscience UPM university kindly supplied these bacteria. The bacterial suspension was made and adjusted by comparison against 0.5 Mc-Farland turbidity typical (5x 107cell ml-1) tubes. It was further diluted to obtain a final of 5 x 106cell ml-1. All bacteria strains were culture in agar media. The media was inoculated by the 0.2 ml/5ml with either the bacteria strains, then added 0.5 ml of.....
