The study illustrates children's digital practices in the Malaysian context. The 21 st century has witnessed an unprecedented expansion of and access to information for people who can use technology. Nowadays, information can be reached in the blink of an eye and is accessible at our fingertips. Since the 1990s, the internet revolution has helped people to search for information through their networked computers, and mobile gadgets have more recently made this even easier as people can carry information in their own pockets. However, this steady increase in internet usage and mobile device ownership, particularly among schoolchildren in Malaysia over the last few years, has been creating fear, anxiety and frustration. Due to a moral panic in Malaysia regarding children's online safety, to date the majority of the extant studies carried out in Malaysia are focusing on E-Safety instead of seeking a deeper understanding of the current digital practices among Malaysian children......

Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti dan menganalisis keunggulan kepengarangan novel Naratif  Ogonshoto dan novel Penyeberang Sempadan. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk kajian kualitatif  dengan kaedah kepustakaan yang dianalisis secara deskriptif. Asas  dan  dasar  kajian  ini   dianalisis  melalui  empat  prinsip  teori  Teksdealisme  iaitu prinsip kehadiran, prinsip  pelanggaran, prinsip pengukuhan dan prinsip individualisme. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa,  keunggulan Anwar Ridhwan dalam prinsip kehadiran   teori   Teksdealisme   telah   berjaya    menghadirkan   pengalaman   melalui pengembaraan,  pengalaman  perkhidmatan,  kehidupan  masyarakat   dan  penyelidikan yang dilakukan. Begitu juga prinsip pelanggaran yang membolehkan Anwar Rihdwan  berani mengemukakan pelanggaran tema dan persoalan, pelanggaran dari segi watak dan perwatakan  serta pelanggaran nilai kemanusiaan yang memberi pembaharuan idea dalam  kepengarangan.Â.....

Automatic classification of cell types and biological products are considered crucial in the field of hematology especially for early detection of diseases when the quantity that needs to be examined is considerably large. In a previous study, a cylindrical micro-channel was employed to mimic actual blood flow in the arteriole but it was found to cause astigmatism in the reconstructed holographic particle images. Additionally, correction of the images is important to avoid false disease detection. In this paper, we describe a new application of feed-forward backpropagation neural network for classifying images of astigmatic and non-astigmatic synthetic platelets that were obtained by digital holographic microscopy. Image cropping was performed to suppress noise, followed by image normalization to reduce variation in contrast/brightness. Using MATLABTM, a two-layer neural network with two class classifier was trained with these images to compute the weights of each layer and the perform.....

Human ear is an intriguing individual anatomical part of a passive, physiological biometrics systems based on the image acquired from digital cameras. The human ear has many singular features that permit the finding of particular individuals. It could be implemented as effective biometrics systems, for example, in crowd surveillance and identifying terrorist at public places such as airports, as well as controlling access to government offices. Challenges and issues faced in the field of human identification using ear detection and recognition includes problem of occlusion, varieties in illumination, and real-time implementation in accessing information from an integrated database system with higher accuracy. Research on ear detection and recognition systems have been developing in a steady rate and mostly are constrained to controlled indoor environment. Notwithstanding, other research issues incorporate; ear print criminology; ear symmetry; and ear uniqueness. This paper presents a r.....

Computer-assisted technology plays an important role in helping to reduce risk during pregnancy, particularly serious risks associated with intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR). Fetal gestational age estimation and fetal weight estimation are two crucial factors in evaluating fetal growth and detecting any abnormality of growth, in order to identify IUGR risk to the fetus. The estimation is made through serial measurement of fetal anatomy comprising the length, diameter and circumference of multiple segments in the fetus scanned through an ultrasound machine. The computing method helps to overcome human subjectivity in assessment that is prone to variability in measurement. Automatic measurement methods carried out by the computer can help in producing fast, accurate and reproducible measurement and assessment of the fetal anatomy. This study presents an analysis of techniques attempted by researchers in conducting automated fetal biometric anatomy measurements using ultrasound imag.....

This article presents the effectiveness of Chip Mental Arithmetic Kit in teaching and learning of topic addition and subtraction. The methods used in the research weredescriptive analysis. The sample consist of two hundred and forty-six(246)standard one students of 3 primary school in total in the state ofSelangor and Perak. Samples were divided into groups and the Chip Mental Arithmetic Kit was distributed to each group.The researcher applied the Chip Mental Arithmetic Kit in the classroom during their teaching and learning process of topic addition and subtraction in primary education. The instrument used by researcher is questionnaire. The questionnaire contained 21 questions which include the figure, the reliability, the endurance of Chip Mental Arithmetic Kit. The student’s answers wereanalyzed. The result showed that Chip Mental Arithmetic Kit had a significant positive impact among the students, and the latter preferred Chip Mental Arithmetic Kit rather than using the traditio.....
