L'identification de régions génomiques cibles de la sélection naturelle positive permet de mieux comprendre notre passé évolutif et de trouver des variants génétiques fonctionnels importants. Puisque la fréquence des allèles sélectionnés augmente dans la population, la sélection laisse des traces sur les séquences d'ADN et ces empreintes sont détectées lorsque la variabilité génétique d'une région est différente de celle attendue sous neutralité sélective. On propose une nouvelle approche pour analyser les données de polymorphismes : le calcul des classes alléliques d’haplotypes (HAC), permettant d'évaluer la diversité globale des haplotypes en étudiant leur composition allélique. L'idée de l'approche est de déterminer si un site est sous sélection positive récente en comparant les distributions des HAC obtenues pour les deux allèles de ce site. Grâce à l'utilisation de données simulées, nous avons étudié ces distributions sous neutralité et sous sélection en testant l'effet de différents paramètres populationnels. Pour tester notre approche empiriquement, nous avons analysé la variation génétique au niveau du gène de lactase dans les trois populations inclues dans le projet HapMap., Natural selection eliminates detrimental and favors advantageous phenotypes. This process leaves characteristic signatures in the underlying genomic segments that can be recognized through deviations in the allelic or in haplotypic frequency spectra. We introduce a new way of looking at the genomic single nucleotide polymorphisms : the haplotype allelic classes (HAC). The model combine segregating sites and haplotypic informations in order to reveal useful characteristics of the data, providing an identifiable signature of recent positive selection that can be detected by comparison with the background distribution. We compare the HAC distribution's partition between the haplotypes carrying the selected allele and the remaining ones. Coalescence simulations are used to study the distributions under standard population models assuming neutrality, demographic scenarios and selection models. To test, in practice, the performance of HAC and the derived statistic in capturing deviation from neutrality due to selection, we analyzed the genetic variation in the locus of lactase persistence in the three HapMap populations.

Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
The provision of electricity is problematic in remote and rural areas. The distribution system is insufficiently efficient to provide rural areas with electricity. Long distance between the power supply and rural areas is the reason why there is insufficient electricity. Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) technology is one of the solutions that have more positive effects, such as reducing power losses, and can therefore increase the system’s efficacy. However, the non-optimal allocation and magnitude of STATCOM may increase losses and have a negative impact on power, resulting in a decrease in system efficiency. This paper introduces the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm as the proposed algorithm to optimize the location and capacity of STATCOM in order to reduce power losses in the distribution system. The proposed technique is implemented on a 15-bus IEEE system and simulated using the MATLAB program. The simulation results demonstrate that the optimal location and quantity of the STATCOM proposed by PSO effectively reduces power loss by 6.058% compared to without PSO implementation.

Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
Banana peels serve as a valuable fiber source with considerable potential for formulation of animal feed. Although it has high fibre content, lignocellulosic fibres caused low digestibility for ruminants and susceptibility of banana peels to spoilage imposes limitations on their utilization. This study highlights the use of subcritical water technology as a pretreatment to enhance nutritional value of banana peels and prolong their shelf life as ingredients in ruminant feed pellet. The proximate analysis of treated banana peels (SCW-BP) contains 6.9 ± 0.07% of crude fat, 47.3 ± 0.06% of crude fibre and 10.6 ± 0.07% crude protein. In order to produce balanced nutritional diet for ruminant feed, 54% of SCW-BP was mixed with 46% of sorghum to attain 15% of crude protein by using Pearson square method. Thus, the formulated feed ingredients produced meets the nutrient required by the ruminants.

Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
Municipal solid waste management (MWM) in Malaysia has become a challenging task in recent years due to the growth of population, industrialization and an increase in quantity and variation in the types of waste generated. Major solid waste generated in Malaysia is organic waste which includes mainly food waste from households, food processing facilities, markets, food and beverages industry and hospitals. Therefore, it is crucial to identify ways to manage food waste (FW) properly and improve the energy recovery efficiency. This paper is aimed to study the impact of pre-treatment on food waste from Hospital Pakar Sultanah Fatimah (HPSF) as a method to decompose FW faster and to determine the potential of bio-methane generation. A compositional study showed that total solid waste generated was 2,301 kg with 67% waste from lunch followed by 31% from breakfast sessions daily. Hydrothermal pre-treatment was done using a Multipurpose Recycling Machine (MRM) at 1.6MPa for 15 minutes followed by anaerobic digestion with and without the inoculum addition. Un-treated FW with inoculum was used as control in this experiment. It was found out that at a controlled pH of 7, hydrothermal pre-treatment and addition of inoculum i.e. cow manure played an important role in anaerobic digestion process for enhancement of bio-methane production. It significantly reduced the lag phase by 4 days and produced biogas faster compared to nontreated FW and hence, increased the biogas volume up to 638.53 mL compared to 504.08 mL in non-treated FW at the same experimental conditions. Therefore, this study signified that hydrothermal pretreatment is an effective and a beneficial technique added to the waste through the generation of biogas energy.

Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
This study explores the potential of green solvents using amino acids-based deep eutectic solvents to alter surface functionality of activated carbon thus enhancing the carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption capacity. Green solvent is prepared by mixing an amino acid (L-Arginine) with ethylene glycol to form amino acid-based deep eutectic solvents. Amino acid-based deep eutectic solvents were used to modify the surface functionalities of activated carbon derived from palm shell waste. The change in surface functional groups and surface morphology of the modified activated carbon samples were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Then, CO2 removal performance was performed using a packed-bed CO2 adsorption reactor to evaluate CO2 breakthrough time and adsorption capacity. CO2 adsorption experiments were measured at a certain temperature (25–45°C), at a fixed feed flow rate and CO2 concentration of 200 mL/min and 15%. It was observed that modified activated carbon showed the highest breakthrough time (15.2 min) compared to raw palm shell (5.2 min) at an adsorption temperature of 25°C. CO2 breakthrough times significantly decreased with increasing adsorption temperature because of physical adsorption.

Environmental sciences ,GE1-350 - Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption in a non-aqueous solution is a potential technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this study, a non-aqueous solvent, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), was blended with a amines The non-aqueous blended amines absorbents’ CO2 absorption ability was investigated in a high-pressure absorption reactor with a variable absorption pressure (350–1400 kPa) at constant temperature (303.15K). The results showed that 2M EHA in DMSO solution had the highest CO2 loading capacity (molCO2/molamine) when compared with 1M EHA + 1M MOR in DMSO solutions. It was also found that the absorption capacity increased with increasing pressure. The highest CO2 absorption by 2M EHA in DMSO solution was observed at a pressure of 1400 kPa at 303.15 K with 1.2507 molCO2/molamine. The use of non-aqueous blended amine solvents showed no phase separation phenomenon after the CO2 absorption reaction and the formation of carbamate salt was identified through FTIR analysis. 1 M EHA 1M MOR in DMSO has shown a higher initial absorption rate in comparison to 2 M EHA in DMSO which would suggest that the use of a 1M EHA + 1M MOR in DMSO as a non-aqueous solvent could be a promising solution for CO2 capture.

milk ,escherichia coli o157:h7 ,polymerase chain reaction ,Veterinary medicine ,SF600-1100 - Abstract
It has been approved that one of the most dangerous foodborne pathogenic bacteria is E. coli O157:H7, which is responsible for several infection and death cases worldwide. It is well documented that in the developing countries E. coli O157:H7 is considered the main causative pathogen of human gastrointestinal infections. Therefore, the current research was aimed to evaluate the prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in dairy cattle's milk using a rapid method, in Iraq (Najaf, Baghdad, Kirkuk, and Erbil). Over a period of 6 months (During hot months) samples were obtained and investigated by culturing on selective media (CT-SMAC). The multiplex PCR (m-PCR) also used for milk sample direct investigation. Using biochemical tests the recorded data showed that, 2 recognized isolates were E. coli, while the recorded data obtained from m-PCR assay revealed that none of the isolated E. coli was toxigenic E.coli O157:H7. The results of m-PCR on the milk samples revealed that 45 milk samples contained at least one of the following genes: O157, H7, stx1, stx2 genes. Also the results of the m-PCR revealed that 2 samples (raw milk) were toxigenic O157:H7 positive. In conclusion, to the best of authors' knowledge, this investigation was the first report on the prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in the raw milk samples in Iraq. The results showed that the proportion of contaminated milk samples contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 identified in the current survey were similar to that the results of the previously published research from different dairy products across different countries in the Middle East region.

One of the public health issues in the endemic areas, especially in the Middle East region would be the Leishmaniasis. The suggested cure for leishmaniasis is pentavalent antimonials. These medications have drastic side effects and the risk of relapse. On the other hand, nowadays use of herbal remedies as safe and cost-effective treatments have been increased. Therefore this study was designed to determine in vitro anti-leishmanial activity of methanol extracts of greater celandine (Chelidonium majus) against Leishmania major. Greater celandine extract was added to L. major promastigotes and intra-macrophagic amastigotes. After 24, 48 and 72 h in vitro culture the percentage of promastigotes viability was calculated by direct counting method and MTT assay. Cytotoxicity in intra-macrophagic amastigotes was evaluated by direct counting method. Viability in minimum dose and maximum dose-treated groups (1.5 and 90 μg/ml) after 24 h, was 55.52% and 36.34%, respectively. After 48 h, it was 40% and 25.26% and after 72 h, it was 62.18% and 38.45%, respectively. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 0.92 μg/ml, after 24 h. Cytotoxicity in intra-macrophagic amastigotes treated by 3 μg/ml dose after 24 and 48 h, was 33.23% and 50.34%, respectively. It could be concluded that greater celandine methanolic extract has in vitro cytotoxic effect on the L. major in time and dose-dependent pattern.

Fungal diseases are the common cause of death in wild animals and birds of prey. This study was designed to investigate the development of fungal infections among wild birds in Denmark. In this study, fungal samples were isolated from such sources as Barn swallows' feathers, White stork, and birds of prey. The fungal species were isolated by direct culture of feathers on SD Agar with chloramphenicol and incubated at 28±2ºC. The fungal genomic DNA was isolated from each species, PCR reaction was performed, and the resulting fragments of the 18S rRNA DNA were sequenced and used for identification. A comparison between the resulting fragments was made to find out the percentage of similarity among the different fungal species. The multiple sequence alignment showed percentages of similarities ranging from 39% to 99%. To sum up, the 18S rRNA DNA sequence has been evolved dramatically even within the same species, while still conserved in others. It is a useful tool to be used for the identification of fungal species as it reduces time. Moreover, according to the results, there were no comprehensive high homology percentages among the species infecting the same bird.

An accurate forest inventory is crucial for forest monitoring and quantifying forest aboveground biomass (AGB). This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) in forest inventory and AGB estimation in the tropical forest of Malaysia. Individual trees were detected using manual and automatic detection methods. An average tree detection rate of 99.55% and 93.75% were achieved using the manual and automatic detection method respectively. The accuracy of the diameter at breast height (DBH) of trees measured from TLS was validated using field DBH as reference. A root means square error (RMSE) of 1.37 cm (6.60%) and 2.36 cm (11.47%), respectively, were obtained for manually and automatically measured TLS DBH. Similarly, TLS based tree height was validated using Airborne Laser Scanner (ALS) height as a reference and resulted in RMSE of 1.74 m (9.30%) and 3.17 m (17.40%) with manual and automatic method respectively. Finally, AGB was calculated using the variables derived from the TLS data. Results show an R2 value of 0.98 and RMSE of 0.08 Mg. The results of this study confirmed that TLS as a nondestructive approach can provide a very good estimation of forest attributes and AGB in the dense tropical forest conditions.

The research aimed to identify probable groundwater zones by integrating GIS, remote sensing, and AHP techniques. Given the rising demand for water resources due to population growth and economic expansion, groundwater resources are vital. The paper presented a comprehensive approach to achieving this goal. Integrating geographic information systems with analytic hierarchy processes is demonstrated to obtain precise decision-making information through transforming geographical data and weightage ranking. The present study has identified seven principal criteria controlling parameters significantly impacting groundwater occurrence. These criteria have been derived from analysing satellite imagery, existing maps, and data sources. The abovementioned variables encompass drainage density, elevation, annual precipitation, slope gradient, land use and land cover. The overlay-weighted sum method maps the potential groundwater zones in the research area by incorporating all thematic criteria. The groundwater potential index map has identified various zones with differing levels of groundwater potential, ranging from very low (1.61%, low (1.81%), moderate (2.66%), high (22.59%) and very high (71.33%). Ultimately, the mean groundwater level information obtained from five wells in the study area is employed to authenticate the map depicting the potential groundwater zones. This research discusses the significant implications that need to be considered for sustainable groundwater exploration in the area.

The natural beauty of the islands is the main attraction of the tourism sector in Semporna, Sabah. The development of this tourism industry is seen to have a positive impact on the overall development in the Semporna District. However, whether this tourism development has a positive impact on the socio-economic development of the indigenous people in the surrounding islands of Semporna is the primary focus of this pilot study. The objective of this study is to identify the impact of tourism on the socio-economic development of the indigenous communities in the surrounding islands of Semporna. The study adopts a quantitative approach involving 60 respondents, with 20 respondents in each study location. The study locations include three islands around Semporna: Larapan Island, Omadal Island, and Mabul Island. The results of the study found that the respondents strongly agreed that the arrival of tourists in Semporna increased the income of the island's residents and provided job opportunities for the local population, with a minimum mean value of 4.6 for both aspects. In the social aspect, the majority of community members were highly responsive and believed that tourism empowered women's involvement (mean=4.4) and strengthened cooperation among community members (mean=4.6). In conclusion, the development of tourism in Semporna has a positive impact on the socio-economic development of the indigenous communities in the surrounding islands. However, various initiatives need to be strengthened to ensure that this positive impact benefits a larger number of indigenous people and helps alleviate poverty issues among the indigenous communities, particularly on the islands.

With the technological progress and the global trend in the early third millennium to design furniture and architecture in the confirmed forms of the environment, and compatibility with the distinctive forms that became possible in the architecture of the nineties and early third millennium through electronic progress in the computer and in the possibilities of multimedia, which was reflected in its turn on the interior design and furniture. Technology has helped to discover the impact of environment on human psychological and physiological health and on the material and intellectual energy.So as to open new horizons towards the development in the field of interior design and furniture, and in the formation of a design thought and philosophy that is different from what it was in the past.The discoveries also expanded to understand the nature of the universe and the characteristics of its growth and transmission from the linear path corresponding to the similar spontaneous path and borrowing that in the architectural form. The modern era witnessed intellectual and philosophical developments and multiple scientific and technological achievements.The designer moved from the new environmental awareness of our mother land to more general objectives of the product outside its boarders of form and content to the interest in the environment from the level of the neighborhood and the street and the sites around him to the national and global level, and thus has gone to a wider scope to so that his architectural product interacts with his infinite and cosmic environment.The problem of research is that there is no clear vision to apply modern design visions to both interior design and local furniture - and the research methodology is the historical and analytical approach.The research aims to:- Studying design theories that have modern technological visions- Study of modern technical trends and advanced technology that influenced the design thought.key words :Design Vision - Modern Design Trends - Furniture Design.1) Ali Raafat (d) - intellectual creativity - the environmental cycle and the architecture of the future - InterConsult Research Center - 1997 - p.

This is one of the main factors which urge Reduction which can be applied in interior design and furniture, which depends on stripping, simplicity, and Reduction in design. It also depends on how much this housing units suit the design in a Reduction way.Reduction and using geometric forms depend on functional and flexible areas. The modern life requires using vacuum reductively and organized interior designs. Vacuum internal Reduction is distinguished by simplicity. Also, colors have a role in Reduction. This is by using one color inside the vacuum, using light colors and simplicity in forming elements of interior design and furniture. The research problem: The Reduction trend in interior design is not applied perfectly in Egyptian contemporary society. The research importance: The research aims to make use of Reduction trend and applying it in small living spaces. This is to reduce materials, to present innovative design solutions and to make use of the existing spaces.

Overpopulation of macrophytes in drainage ditches can lead to a problem in maintenance and reduce the efficiency of the system. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the feasibility of Eleocharis dulcis (E. dulcis) for bioproduct potential by chemical composition analysis. E. dulcis samples were collected from Parit Raja drainage ditch and sent to Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development (MARDI) for fibre content (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) concentration. From the result, the fibre content of E. dulcis show the potential for bioethanol with an average value of 37.62% cellulose, 21.31% hemicellulose and 12.25% lignin. Meanwhile, Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations were 2.78, 0.63 and 2423.51 mg/kg, respectively. These values were low compared to WHO/FAO (2007), EN 13432 and Malaysia Food Regulations 1985, except for Zn, which has a slightly higher value indicating that it is suitable to be used as a bio-based straw. In conclusion, E. dulcis had the potential as biomaterial straws and bioethanol based on the chemical compositions. Therefore, the productions are recommended for further analyses of the bioproduct performances.

The probabilistic kinematic analysis for rock slope has been conducted on one slope along USAID road in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This research aims to develop the modelled probability density function (PDF) and determine the probabilistic of planar failure occurrence (Pop). The geometry of discontinuity planes (dip and dip directions) and slope geometry (slope angle and slope face) were collected from our previous study. One slope with planar failure criteria was selected. The Monte Carlo simulations were performed in generating 100 new random values in 100 time iterations to produce modelled PDFs for the geometry of discontinuity plans based on statistical parameters of field observed data. The probabilistic of each experimental PDFs were computed to produce the probabilistic of planar failure occurrence. The result reveals that the distribution of dip and dip directions for experimental PDFs are considered Beta and Normal distributions. The statistical parameters produced in the model are almost likely similar to observed data. It means the model that was developed are reliable and conscientious. The rule of Φ < βj < βs and dip directions (αj) within ±20° to slope face (αs) are utilised as the boundaries to calculate the probabilistic of planar failure occurrence (Pop) which revealing 0.26.

L'imputation est désormais un outil essentiel dans l'analyse des études d'association à l'échelle du génome, permettant l'estimation de génotypes à des positions variables du génome non génotypées, via des inférences statistiques à partir d'haplotypes contenus dans un panel de référence utilisé pour l'imputation, soit une bibliothèque d’haplotype séquencés phasés en haplotypes. Les données génétiques imputés servent aux études d’associations sur les traits et maladies complexes. La population fondatrice canadienne-française est une population très utile dans les études d'association génétique en raison de sa diversité unique d'haplotypes et de l'excès de variantes rares. Ici, nous décrivons les défis qui accompagnent l'imputation de cette population fondatrice, qui n'est pas représentée dans les panels de référence disponibles, ainsi que la stratégie optimale pour imputer des ensembles de données génotypés hétérogènes, provenant de plusieurs plateformes de génotypage. Nous avons caractérisé l'imputation de 29,356 individus génotypés sur plusieurs puces de génotypage de la province du Québec constituant la cohorte CARTaGENE (CaG). Nous avons établi que le panel de référence le plus récent et le plus diversifié Trans-Omics for Precision Medecine (TOPMed) a surpassé le panel de référence Haplotype Reference Consortium (HRC) dans l'ensemble de données canadienne-française de CaG. Nous avons évalué la précision de l'imputation avec le un score de qualité (R2) fréquemment utilisé, ainsi que l’exactitude calculée en fonction des génotypes aux variants observés par séquençage, disponibles dans CARTaGENE pour un sous-groupe d’individus. Nous avons déterminé que la stratégie optimale pour augmenter la qualité d'imputation sur des ensembles de données hétérogènes a été atteinte en fusionnant chaque sous-ensemble de données après les avoir imputés individuellement. Ce résultat ouvre la voie à l’intégration de cohortes génotypées hétérogènes dans les études d’associations. Nos résultats soulignent également les défis que représente une population fondatrice pour l'imputation, en comparant la qualité de l'imputation de CaG avec d'autres sous-cohortes canadiennes du projet CanPath, soit l’Ontario, l’Alberta, la Colombie-Britannique et les provinces atlantiques. Ces résultats mettent en évidence l'impact de l’absence de diversité haplotypique spécifique dans les panels de référence sur l'imputation d'une population européenne fondatrice récente, démontrant l'importance de la représentativité de la population étudiée dans ces panels., Imputation is now an essential tool in the analysis of genome-wide association studies, allowing the estimation of genotypes at variable positions of the ungenotyped genome, via statistical inferences from haplotypes contained in a reference panel used for imputation, (a library of sequenced genotypes phased into haplotype). Imputed genetic data is used for association studies of complex traits and diseases. The French-Canadian founder population is a very useful population in genetic association studies due to its unique haplotype’s diversity and excess of rare variants. Here, we describe the challenges that come with imputing this founder population, which is not represented in available reference panels, as well as the optimal strategy for imputing heterogeneous genotyped datasets, from multiple genotyping platforms. We characterized the imputation of 29,356 individuals genotyped on multiple genotyping arrays from the province of Quebec constituting the CARTaGENE (CaG) cohort. We established that the newer and more diverse Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) reference panel outperformed the Haplotype Reference Consortium (HRC) reference panel in the CaG French-Canadian dataset. We evaluated the precision of the imputation with the frequently used quality score (R2), as well as the accuracy calculated according to the genotypes observed by sequencing, available in CARTaGENE for a subgroup of individuals. We determined that the optimal strategy for increasing imputation quality on heterogeneous datasets was achieved by merging each subset of data after imputing them individually. This result opens the way to the integration of heterogeneous genotyped cohorts in association studies. Our results also highlight the challenges of a founder population for imputation, comparing the quality of CaG imputation with other Canadian sub-cohorts of the CanPath project, namely Ontario, Alberta, British-Columbia, and the Atlantic provinces. These results highlight the impact of the absence of specific haplotypic diversity in the reference panels on the imputation of a recent European founder population, demonstrating the importance of the representativeness of the population studied in these panels.

In the context of Malaysian tropical climate, green envelope functions to provide satisfying indoor environment and achieve the best performance with minimal energy consumption. Buildings that rely on air-conditioning to improve thermal comfort could benefit from green envelope potentials. Hence, the objective of this paper is to explore the impacts of various types of green envelope towards reducing the energy consumption of a two-storey library building. The methodology approach is quantitative and data are collected through building simulation using Revit Building Information Modelling (BIM). Parameters studied are building orientation, wall insulation, envelope materials, and façade treatment. Results showed that different types of green envelope posed different impact on energy consumption of the library and double glazed windows contribute the most significant reduction of energy consumption. The study establishes the contribution of green envelope and advocates the use of building simulation as research methodology, as it helps to improve envelope design, and to predict the possible outcomes of design alternatives.

The participation of students in the process of learning is one of the keys to ensure effective learning outcomes either in terms of knowledge or skill. However, teacher-centred teaching methods which have been practiced in this country after so long avert students to fully engage in the learning process especially in a classroom. Various attempts have been made by the government to emphasize student’s development in term of communication, creativity and innovation through the of process learning in class. It requires school to implement student-centred teaching methods such as cooperative learning. Cooperative learning is a teaching method that requires teachers not only interacts with the students but also with other teaching aids such as audio, video and computer. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify teachers' perception on the implementation of cooperative learning in the teaching and learning process in class. 25 teachers were selected as respondents. Mixed methods were used in this study, where the instrument of questionnaires and interviews were used to collect the data. Quantitative data analysis was made using descriptive statistics of frequency, mean and percentage. While, qualitative data analysis was based on the recommendations of the Miles & Huberman (1994). The findings showed teachers have a positive attitude toward cooperative learning and they are ready and feel confident to practice it. However, the constraints are classroom control, time and limited teaching aids

Urinalysis was used in previous studies among higher institution students (n=16252) in Malaysia to answer the question of whether university students are involved in drug abuse. However, the use of urinalysis had faced some problems. The problems were related to human rights issues and the cost to perform the urinalysis was expensive and quite impossible to be implemented to a large population of university students. To overcome this problem, this study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of psychometric measures in screening drug, alcohol and substance abuse. The Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory A2 (SASSI-A2) was used for this purpose. SASSI-A2 is a brief screening tool designed to identify individuals who have a high probability of having a substance use disorder, including both substance abuse and substance dependence. SASSI-A2 comprises of 72 items that are rated on a two point scale with response; true and false. SASSI-A2 was translated into Malay language and it was refined through a back-translation technique and focus group approach. Psychometric testing was undertaken on a sample of 750 university students from five public universities in Malaysia. All participants were aged between 19 and 20 years. Internal consistency coefficients were calculated for the total scale and its subscales. Chronbach's alpha obtained for SASSI-A2 was 0.72. This relatively high level of Chronbach's alpha showed relatively high level of reliability. The results demonstrated that the whole SASSI-A2 meets the fundamental measurement properties and can discriminate groups of higher institution students from high to low on the substance dependency variable. The accuracy of the test has been found to be unaffected by gender, ethnicity, age and years of education. Although more rigorous validation studies are needed, it is recommended that SASSI-A2 be considered for usage to higher institution students populations when a brief, objective, and accurate screening tool for chemical dependency is needed.

Self-esteem is related to the individuals understanding and accepting the existing character and attitude to themselves. Failure to understand and accept their own strengths and weaknesses and in the same time do not have the skills to cope with it will caused them to be classified in the group who have low levels of self esteem. The up and down in self esteem will seriously affect the person emotional development and their reasoning process. Thus, reforming self esteem is an important key to help the rehabilition of drug abuser. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Brief Group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy on self-esteem among drug users. The quasi experimental design with one treatment group and one control group and four measurements (Pre Test, Post 1, Post 2 and Post 3) were employed in this study. The sample of 108 drugs users was chosen using purposive sampling procedure. Data were collected using standardized psychometric instruments, including Internal Control Index (Patricia Duttweiler, 1984) and The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and were analysed using descriptive analysis. The findings shows the intervention of group Brief Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT (B) are succeed in increasing self-esteem mean score compared to control group in different time interval. As a conclusion, self-esteem among the subjects can be enhanced with an intervention of proper and systematic therapy instead of unplanned therapy sessions

While the project of law-making has seemed an obvious and inherent part of empire-building, and law-delivery has often been a justifying rationale for imperialism, this paper asks more detailed questions about the travels of law. How is a ‘universal’ law made ‘local’, and to what effect? How have past and contemporary legal delivery projects delineated between the categories of local and universal? Our analytic project, therefore, is not simply that law travels, but with whom; not just that it is carried, but alongside what other commodities and baggage; not just that it moves, but that it is transformed by its passage across borders and among localities. Further, whereas much of rule of law and imperial law scholarship sees legal travel as from metropole to colony, this paper argues that ports of call are equally important for the fate of law. Aunque el proyecto de legislación parecía una parte obvia e inherente al proceso de construcción del imperio, y la creación de leyes ha sido a menudo una justificación para el imperialismo, este artículo lanza preguntas más detalladas sobre los recorridos del derecho. ¿Cómo se convierte una ley “universal” en “local”, y qué efectos conlleva? ¿Cómo han diferenciado entre las categorías “local” y “universal” los proyectos de legislación pasados y contemporáneos? Así pues, nuestro proyecto analítico no concluye simplemente que la ley tiene un recorrido, sino con quién; no simplemente que es transportada, sino con qué otras comodidades y equipaje; no sólo que se mueve, sino que se transforma en su viaje a través de límites y localizaciones. Es más, mientras que gran parte de la comunidad científica del estado del derecho y el imperio del derecho ve que las leyes van de la metrópoli a la colonia, este artículo defiende que las escalas que realiza son igual de importantes para el destino del derecho.

Engineering (General). Civil engineering (General) ,TA1-2040 - Abstract
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a progressive problem for piping systems in oil and gas industries especially in petrochemical and chemical plants due to its catastrophic disasters and consequently its automatic impact on the environment. To ensure CUI problem should not spark sudden surprise in plants, indeterminate factors that contribute to the deterioration of pipes subject to CUI should be recognized and taken care seriously. Operating temperature, type of environment, insulation type, pipe complexity and insulation condition of the pipes are the key factors that cause significant deterioration of pipes due to CUI. As per its varying nature, CUI is difficult to predict as it remains hidden beneath the insulation and gets growth in an ambiguous and abrupt manner. For such an uncertain and critical situation, fuzzy logic is a good choice to be deal with. Thus, in this study, CUI corrosion rate for insulated carbon steel piping systems has been predicted by fuzzy logic using API 581 data. Predicted CUI corrosion rates obtained by the developed fuzzy logic model are committing quite satisfactory results when comparing with API 581 published CUI corrosion rates. At the end of study, sensitivity analysis (SA) of CUI producing factors has also been performed. SA is showing the role of each CUI producing factor in terms of percentage, having participation for the cause of 1 mm/year CUI in pipes. The predicted CUI corrosion rates and SA will help inspection engineers for setting and delivering the risk-based inspection priority for insulated piping systems at their concerned plants.

In Malaysia, according to perspective sludge production factor (SPF), wastewater treatment plants produces about 5.3 million m3 of sewage sludge annually, most of this sludge are being wasted (unused) in the landfills. This study employed the use of dry activated sludge as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of copper Cu (II) from wastewater. Adsorption of Cu (II) by sludge activated carbon (SAC) was conducted using batch tests. The effect of contact time and adsorbent dosage on the removal of Cu (II)) from wastewater were investigated. Initial metal concentration was maintained at 100 mg/L. The removal efficiency was found to have relations with the initial Cu (II) concentration, contact time as well as the SAC dosage. The adsorption kinetics of the Cu (II) by SAC was found to follow pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating chemisorption process. The adsorption isotherms studies indicated that the adsorption of Cu (II) by SAC adsorbent was well described by Langmuir isotherm model having correlation of determination (R2) value of 0.9985 at 12hrs equilibrium period. Optimum conditions for Cu (II) removal was achieved at SAC dosages of 10 g/L, contact time 12 hours and at initial Cu (II) concentration of 100 mg/L, respectively. The study indicated that sludge activated carbon can be used as an adsorbent for the removal of Cu (II) from aqueous solution.

Consequently, continuous consumption of sand in construction industry contributes significantly to depletion of natural resources. To achieve more sustainable construction materials, this paper reports the use of iron ore tailings (IOT) as replacement for river sand in concrete production. IOT is a waste product generated from the production of iron ore and disposed to land fill without any economic value. Concrete mixtures containing different amount of IOT were designed for grade C30 with water to cement ratio of 0.60. The percentage ratios of the river sand replacements by IOT were 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Concrete microstructure test namely, XRD and Field Emission Scanned Electron Microscopic/Energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (FESEM/EDX) were conducted for control and IOT concretes in order to determine the interaction and performance of the concrete containing IOT. Test results indicated that the slump values of 130 mm and 80 to 110 mm were recorded for the control and IOT concretes respectively. The concrete sample of 50% IOT recorded the highest compressive strength of 37.7 MPa at 28 days, and the highest flexural strength of 5.5 MPa compared to 4.7 MPa for reference concrete. The texture of the IOT is rough and angular which was able to improve the strength of the concrete.

Le présent mémoire est dédié à l’étude du rôle de la mécanique quantique supersymétrique dans la construction d’opérateurs d’échelle et de leurs applications pour le système quantique de Rosen-Morse. L’aboutissement de ces travaux est contenu dans un article qui constitue le dernier chapitre du mémoire. Précisément, on motive l’échec de la réalisation des opérateurs d’échelle comme opérateurs différentiels pour le potentiel de Rosen-Morse avec les méthodes traditionnelles. On exploite la propriété d’invariance de forme dans le contexte de la mécanique quantique supersymétrique comme un outil alternatif pour offrir une première approche quantique à la réalisation des opérateurs d’échelle pour la version hyperbolique de ce potentiel. On utilise cette réalisation pour obtenir celle d’opérateurs d’échelle pour une classe particulière d’extensions rationnelles du potentiel de Rosen-Morse hyperbolique avec des techniques issues de la supersymétrie. Des états cohérents sont construits à partir des réalisations obtenues pour les différents systèmes. Certaines de leurs propriétés sont analysées et mises en comparaison. En parallèle, on utilise une transformation canonique ponctuelle pour déduire une première réalisation des opérateurs d’échelle comme opérateurs différentiels pour le système de Rosen-Morse trigonométrique. De cette réalisation sont construits des états cohérents pour lesquels des propriétés sont similairement analysées., This master thesis is dedicated to the study of the role of supersymmetric quantum mechanics in the construction of ladder operators and of their applications for the quantum Rosen-Morse system. The results of this work are presented in an article that constitutes the last chapter of the thesis. Precisely, we motivate the failure of traditional methods in providing a realization for the Rosen-Morse ladder operators as differential operators. We provide a first quantum-based solution to this problem by using the shape invariance property in supersymmetric quantum mechanics as a tool in the construction of the ladder operators for the hyperbolic version of this potential. We use the latter realization to obtain that of a specific class of rational extensions of the hyperbolic Rosen-Morse system by means of supersymmetric techniques. Coherent states are constructed from the ladder operators obtained for the different systems. Some properties are analyzed and compared. In addition, we make use of a point canonical transformation in the derivation of the first realization of the ladder operators of the trigonometric Rosen-Morse system as differential operators. From this realization, we construct coherent states for which some properties are similarly analyzed.

Les cytochromes P450 (CYP450) sont des hémoprotéines intervenant généralement dans la détoxication de l’organisme sous forme de biodégradation de molécules xénobiotiques et participent à la décomposition de certains médicaments. Cependant, les gènes codant pour les protéines CYP450 sont souvent sous-analysés dans les études génomiques à grande échelle en raison de leur difficulté d’analyse due à un haut taux de polymorphisme. Deux sous-familles seront étudiées plus en profondeur: les sous-familles CYP3A et CYP4F. La sous-famille CYP3A métabolise environ 50% des médicaments alors que les enzymes CYP4F, quant à eux, sont impliquées dans le métabolisme de composés endogènes, de nutriments et de médicaments. Les gènes de ces sous-familles sont fortement polymorphes et ce, à travers les populations humaines. Ainsi, la variabilité entre les différentes populations peut affecter la réponse aux médicaments et autres fonctions métaboliques. Dans ce projet, deux grands jeux de données, l’un en génétique des populations (le Projet des 1000 Génomes) et l’autre en transcriptomique (GTEx) seront utilisés afin d’identifier des signatures de sélection naturelle dans les gènes CYP3A et CYP4F, ainsi que leur impact sur l’expression génique de ces gènes. Nous avons détecté différentes forces de sélection (positive et balancée) dans les deux sous-familles. Certains polymorphismes identifiés comme étant sous pression sélective sont associés à une expression différentielle des gènes des deux sous-familles. Ce projet permet de mieux comprendre l’impact des mutations sous pression sélective se situant dans les gènes des sous-familles CYP3A et CYP4F. Cette caractérisation génétique permettra d’obtenir des prédictions plus fiables en pharmacogénomique et en génomique humaine, en raison de l’influence de ces gènes sur la réponse aux médicaments., Cytochromes P450 (CYP450) are hemoproteins generally involved in the detoxification of the body of xenobiotic molecules and participate in the metabolism of many drugs. Genetic polymorphisms have been found to impact drugs responses and metabolic functions. However, genes encoding CYP450 proteins are often under-analyzed in large-scale genomic studies because the difficulty of analysis due to of their high rate of polymorphism. In this study, we investigate the genetic diversity for CYP450 genes. We found that two clusters, CYP3A and CYP4F, are notably differentiated across human populations with evidence for selective pressures acting on both clusters. The CYP3A subfamily metabolizes approximately 50\% of drugs while CYP4F enzymes are involved in the metabolism of endogenous compounds, nutrients and drugs. Indeed, we found signals of recent positive selection in CYP3A and CYP4F genes and signals of balancing selection in CYP4F genes. Futhermore, unusual linkage disequilibrium is detected in both cluster, suggesting co-evolution. eQTLs were also found in both clusters which indicate co-regulation and epistasis.

This paper studies the finding of strength and water absorption of geopolymer bricks using bottom ash and fly ash as a geopolymer raw material for non-loading application with minimum strength. The study has been conducted to produce bottom ash and fly ash geopolymer bricks by varying the ratio of fly ash-to-bottom ash, solid-to-liquid and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3)-to-sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the mixing process. The compressive strength range between 3.8-4.5 MPa was obtained due to the minimum strength of non-loading application with 70°C curing temperature within 24 hours at 7 days of ageing. The optimum ratio selected of bottom ash-to-fly ash, solid-to-liquid and Na2SiO3-to-NaOH are 1:2, 2.0 and 4.0 respectively. The water absorption result is closely related to the amount of bottom ash used in the mix design.

The utilization of waste materials which are abundant and cheap, especially from clean resources, has become more pressing than ever. This study investigates the influence of Oil Palm Biomass waste including the Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA), Oil Palm Kernel Shell (OPKS) and Oil Palm Fibre (OPF) on the compressive strength and chloride penetration of mortar. The POFA was used as cement replacement up to 80% in nano size. The mass ratio of fine aggregates to binder was 3:1. Test specimens 70×70×70 mm cube were prepared and cured in water for 28 days. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) mortar was also prepared as control specimen. The specimens were immersed in Sodium Chloride solution up to 18 months. The evaluation was done by visual observation, ultrasonic pulse velocity and mass change before and after exposure. The mortar was then split into two and sprayed with 0.1N Silver Nitrate solution to see the depth of penetration. The test results revealed that biomass mortar showed high resistance to chloride penetration as compared to OPC mortar due to the reduction of cement content in the mixture. Besides, the reactive silica from nano POFA produced more crystalline formation thus, reduced the porosity and crack within the biomass mortar.

The severe damage to civilian buildings, public area, jet aircraft impact and defense target under explosive blast loading can cause a huge property loss. Most of researcher discusses the topics on design the concrete material model to sustain againts the explosive detonation. The implementation of modern reinforcement steels and fibres in ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete matrix can reduce the extreme loading effects. However, most researchers have proved that geopolymer concrete (GPC) has better mechanical properties towards high performance concrete, compared to OPC. GPC has the high early compressive strength and high ability to resist the thermal energy from explosive detonation. In addition, OPC production is less environmental friendly than geopolymer cement. Geopolymer used can lead to environmental protection besides being improved in mechanical properties. Thus, this paper highlighted on an experimental, numerical and the analytical studies cause of the explosive detonation impact to concrete structures.

Malaysia is a one of the developing countries where the constructions of infrastructure is still ongoing, resulting in a high demand for concrete. In order to gain sustainability factors in the innovations for producing concrete, geopolymer concrete containing granulated blast-furnace slag and ceramics was selected as a cement replacement in concrete for this study. Since Malaysia had many ceramic productions and uses, the increment of the ceramic waste will also be high. Thus, a new idea to reuse this waste in construction materials have been tested by doing research on this waste. Furthermore, a previous research stated that Ordinary Portland Cement concrete has a lower durability compared to the geopolymer concrete. Geopolymer binders have been reported as being acid resistant and thus are a promising and alternative binder for sewer pipe manufacture. Lack of study regarding the durability of the geopolymer self-compacting concrete was also one of the problems. The waste will be undergoing a few processes in the laboratory in order to get it in the best form before undergoing the next process as a binder in geopolymer concrete. This research is very significant in order to apply the concept of sustainability in the construction field. In addition, the impact of this geopolymer binder is that it emits up to nine times less CO2 than Portland Cement.
