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.....

This research is done to establish the usage of the Chip Mental Arithmetic for the teaching of the addition and subtraction in the whole number combination for Year 1 pupils. Besides that, it also to find out the level of efficiency in the usage of this Chip together with its module based on the performance of the Year 1 pupilson the topics mentioned above. The method used is inference analysis. After using the Mental Arithmetic Number Chip together with its module, it showed the significant differences in the Pre and Post test. The respondents of this project are Year 1 pupils of a school in Selangor who were divided into two groups, the experimental and experimental groups. The data were analyzed by using t-test to determine the differences between pupils of the control group and the experimental group. The findings showed a significant difference of 11.89 with the value [t = 2.084., p ..

Bio-mimetic C-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with mesoporous microtubular structure has been prepared by a simple chemical wet bio-template impregnation approach (direct impregnation and hydrothermal impregnation) using urea as a precursor and kapok fibre as bio-template and in-situ carbon dopant. Our finding indicated that the hydrothermal impregnation had induced more in-situ C-doping in g-C3N4 as compared to the direct impregnation approach. The introduction of in-situ C doping in the g-C3N4 and the mesoporous microtubular structure remarkably enhanced light-harvesting capability up to near infrared regions. The photocurrent measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis suggested that the bio-template C-doped g-C3N4 exhibits a superior photoinduced electron-hole pairs separation ef?ciency due to C doping and mesoporous microtubular structure significantly promotes excellent conductivity and electron redistribution in the sample. C-doped graphitic car.....

Current seminal studies on teacher creativity and teaching effectiveness have been widely investigated by numerous researchers. Most of them explored both variables (teacher creativity and effectiveness) from various aspects such as the perspectives of teachers, learners, and of gender but they failed to address one important variable, namely the influence of professional development background on these variables. Consequently, this study aims to analyse the influence of blended teacher professional training on teaching creativity and teaching effectiveness from the learners’ perspective. A sample of 901 learners from various secondary schools in East Java province was randomly assigned to rate 120 EFL teachers using both the English language teaching creativity scale (ELT-CS) and the English language teaching effectiveness scale (ELT-ES). For this purpose, a validated and reliable five-point Likert scale of ELT-CS and ELT-ES (1 = totally disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = partially agree, .....

The purpose of this study is to obtain the reliability of Post Traumatic Growth Counseling module (PTGC). The PTGC module contains five training modules namely Module 1: Introduction to Post Traumatic Development; Module 2: Introduction of Domestic Violence; Module 3: Symptoms and Effects of Domestic Violence; Module 4: Intervention of Domestic Violence; and Module 5: Self Care which include eleven activities. The value of reliability is obtained through a written response from a group of subjects among counselors of three different settings. To measure the reliability of a total of 78 counselors were selected from three different settings, namely, the Sultan Idris Education University, the Ministry of Health Malaysia and private institutions in Malaysia. The results show that the PTGC module has a high reliability value of the overall KPPT module of .973.
