Talent management (TM) necessitates both quantitative and qualitative skills; it is a determining factor in organisational success, including in university institutions. A team member's position in an organisation was closely related to TM. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology, such as an expert system, has also influenced human resource management. As well as to help human experts in TM, especially for academic staff TM, this study proposed a mobile app expert system called "ASTMES". This research method was used the certainty factor method with a forward-chaining inference machine, then programmed onto Android-based app with waterfall-SDLC technique. The result shown as ASTMES can categorise talent criteria: insufficient talent (99.7450 %), good talent (99.9942 %), and potential talent (99.9908 %), with a percentage of confidence level, respectively.

Porous magnesium is one of the materials that can be used as a bulk bone implant (Scaffold) because it can be used in human body tissues and is biodegradable, non-toxic and resembles natural bones. The shape of the pore in magnesium with interconnections that resemble the original bone is a challenge in the manufacture of porous magnesium for bone scaffold material. Therefore, research activities to make porous magnesium using Titanium Wire Space Holder (TWSH) with a semi-solid process to produce bone scaffold material that is biodegradable. The process carried out in this study is to compact and sinter the powder magnesium material with titanium wire using a squeeze casting tool in a semi-solid process, then dissolved using a solution of hydro fluoride acid to form porous magnesium. The tests performed are corrosion rate, density and porosity, hardness and SEM-EDX. This study succeeded in fabricating porous magnesium, which has the potential to be a bone scaffold material where the variation of the test material that approaches bone properties is a specimen with a sintering temperature of 570 °C with composition of Ti:Mg=2:3.
