Based on the analysis done, the result shows that Holt’s Linear Trend is the better forecasting method compared to Double Exponential Smoothing and Random Walk.

In most sports today, the decisions taken by referees are supported by the use of electronic technology. The detection and monitoring system of the woodball lines serves the same function, helping the referee to take decisions and modernise woodball sports. The modern sport of wood balls depends entirely on out decisions. The line detection technology helps inform the judge whether the ball is OB (out of Bounds), while the monitoring system notifies players, judges, and the crowd whether or not the gating is effective. But the referee's manual assistance is always necessary to start the game after a good gating, since the player cannot touch the wood ball the whole time. Finally, the percentage of precision and error was achieved.

Various optical communication technologies use Optical-Code Division Multiple Access (Optical-CDMA) as a channel access technique, which allows transmission of different users simultaneously over the optical communication channel. Therefore, Optical-CDMA permits free undue interference transmission of several users. Whereas Wavelength-division multiple access (WDMA) is a technique that can be implemented on how the optical channel can be divided into subchannels. This paper proposes a Hybrid WDMA-Optical-CDMA over multi-mode fiber (MMF) transmission system for short haul-local area network. The WDMA system is carried out by using four Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes that operate over four main wavelengths (1551 nm, 1550 nm, 1549 nm and 1548 nm). Additionally, the Optical-CDMA system is carried out by using one dimension Zero Cross-Correlation (ZCC) code to overcome multiple access interference (MAI) between the four ZCC codes. The performance of our system is evaluated based on eye diagrams, Q-Factor and bit-error rates (BER) measurements.

This study demonstrates the implementation of multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) transmission donut modes in space wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) over multi-mode optical fiber (MMOF) and simulating the effect of mode coupling of the transmitted signal. However, during the data transmitted over MMF by using SWDM an issue is encountered, which is the inter symbol interference (ISI) due to mode coupling. ISI has been recognized as a major obstacle to high-speed data transmission. The signal processing in SDM of donut modes over MMOF with electrical feedback equalizer is used to improve the performance for increasing the bandwidth. A data rate 80 Gbit/s up for a distance of 1600 meters is achieved. SWDM topology was designed emitted from a spatial vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) through MMOF in conjunction with the configurations of electrical feedback equalizer. The parameters and values used in Opt-Sim simulation topology were listed. The performance measurement of this study based on bit-error rates (BER) and eye diagram before and after electrical feedback equalization were analysed.

The optical vortex has recently attracted scholars to implement it in optical tweezers, microscopy, optical communications, quantum information processing, optical trapping, and laser machining. Optical vortex beam applied classically that can be transferred to the transverse amplitude of a heralded single-photon, and optical vortex possesses a helical wavefront and carries orbital angular momentum. In this study, Optical vortex is applied in optical-CDMA (optical code-division multiple-access) in conjunction with WDM (wavelength division multiplexing). This mechanism aims to increase the capacity and security in optical communication significantly. The implementation of Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes with optical vortex based on one dimension zero cross-correlation (ZCC) code shows that mode coupling reduces effectively. Consequently, a positive increase in channel performance and response. Accordingly, the LG modes based on the 1D-ZCC code are investigated and propagated over multi-mode fiber (MMF) based on an optical vortex, which also substantially reduces channel effects. Consequently, all these attributes combined will result in a hybrid WDM-Optical-CDMA with an optical vortex system over MMF.

Arm rehabilitation activities need to be monitored continuously in terms of analysis by experts within sufficient information to discover arm dysfunction and disorders such as stroke early. Although there are numerous previous researches about the home-based rehabilitation procedures and arm performance, some drawbacks still exist. For example, current rehabilitation devices are too complicated and required supervision by qualified therapists rather than their high prices. Moreover, data from these devices take much time to be sent to doctors for monitoring purpose. Therefore, this paper proposes a home-based online multisensory arm rehabilitation monitoring system. This system is designed through three main stages which are data acquisition, data processing, and data logging respectively. Data acquisition is by three different types of sensors; flex sensor (for arm’s bending), force-sensitive resistors (for hand fingers’ forces) and accelerometer (for arm movement directions). In data processing, Arduino Mega Controller and ESP Wi-Fi shield are used to design Internet of Things (IoT) web-based system (ThingSpeak) for data logging that allows doctors to diagnose stroke recovery and give feedbacks for patients. Overall, this project showed a robust system for arm rehabilitation using portable, user-friendly, and low power consumption devices at a low cost.

Analytical Hierarchical Process can show the hierarchical diagram for the factors interested which have the higher priority is define as the important factor towards the housing price.

Image filtering is one of the methods used in image processing. It is also can be called as image enhancement. Filter help the problems of the image display and can improvise the quality of the image. The problems that always happened in the image is illumination, noise and under-light images. In addition, these problems also caused a few troubles for image recognition for the daily life of certain people for their work. The purpose of this study is to apply the mathematical algorithm of the filters, identifying the best method of the filters and simulate the result of the image quality assessments in Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Global System for Mobile Notification (GSM). Basically, image processing methods have specific mathematical algorithms. That is the main difference between these methods. For this paper, two types of image have been chosen which is document image and medical image. There were a few methods that were selected in this project. It is a high pass filter, low pass filter, and high boost filter. Thus, homomorphic filtering was applied to that filter. Then, the enhanced images would be simulated to the selected parameters of image quality assessments (IQA). The selected parameter of the image quality assessment is a global contrast factor (GCF) and signal to noise ratio (SNR). If the value of the parameters satisfies its characteristic, the method would be selected as the most suitable method for the image. Meanwhile, the best result will be selected as the best image for this study.

The principle of development is the occurrence of changes that involve the functioning of the nervous system and muscles as well as the change itself concerning the quality of motion that can be measured by tests of motor skills. Changes of the quality in motor movement among children is determined by the factor of teachers/counsellors, infrastructure facilities, and the existence of environmental factors. In measuring successful motor development among preschool children, this paper proposes the Motor Development Index (MDI) to be used as one of the parameter indicator. MDI is a composite index that includes (1) child enrolment rate (2) availability of public service venues (3) gross and fine motor skills (4) availability of builders/instructors as well as (5) sources of financing. The results showed that MDI in motor development among preschool children is still very low, with the value of only 0.387. However, the proposed MDI measurement is better than Sports Development Index (SDI) of value 0.345. In the future, the MDI measure is proposed to be parameters of motor development success among preschool children as MDI components allows presenting a more comprehensive measure.

Nowadays, in the hospital, cervical cancer is in the higher rank (number 2) of the most popular cancer among ladies in the world. This cancer develops in the woman’s cervix which the womb is the entrance. Mostly, doctors in the hospital having trouble to identify the cancer cell because the nucleus of the cell is sometimes slightly hard to observe with eyes. The nucleus of the normal cell is in a smaller size compared to the abnormal nucleus. The abnormal nucleus has a bigger size, which sometimes, the size cannot be identified accurately by seeing with bare eyes to classify the stages of cervical cancer. This is because every doctor has different perspectives to observe the classification of the stages of cancer by observing the nucleus without accurate dimensionality reduction in the accuracy of the classifier. Recently, many researchers proposed a method to detect and classify the Pap smear cell images for cervical cancer diagnosis. This approach may improve the accuracy of the detection and the classification which to show better performance with the balance data and samples precisely. Some of the patients got the result that they are on stage 2, however after re-testing, they actually on stage 4 which the chance to heal is very low. This happens because the doctor can’t find the accurate balance data and sample precisely. In this paper, a comprehensive review of cervical detection based on segmentation nucleus and classification was studied.

In this paper, point to point circular polarized 5.8 GHz patch antenna has successfully designed and simulated. This paper presented a design where both of the opposite edges of the rectangular patch of the antenna are truncated using proximity-coupled feeding technique. Both simulations of the proposed antennas had been analyzed. The objectives of this paper has been achieved which is to design and simulate the circular polarized antenna with operating frequency of 5.8 GHz. From the results, the proposed antennas with different feeding technique that radiate at a constant frequency showed some distinct value towards the size of the antenna and the characteristic of its radiation. The results indicate that the antenna that uses proximity-coupled feeding technique yields 3.551 dB directive gain, return loss and axial ratio at -10.015 and 2.225 dB respectively. Meanwhile, the directivity values for the antennas is 5.97 dBi. It can be conclude that by using proximity coupled fed technique, the gain of an antenna can be enhance thus increasing the antenna performance.

A brain tumor is defined as a mass of tissue formed by an accumulation of abnormal cells within the brain. This paper proposes a high gain ultra-wideband (UWB) reflector array antenna for cancer detection. Introduction of the copper reflector with ideal distance contribute to increasing the proposed antenna gain. The antenna is printed with 4×1 copper radiating patch array properly connected with quarter wave transformer transmission line associated with a copper parasitic element for the front side. The patches comprise of four identical circulars with a diameter of 15 mm. Parasitic element is placed on very close to feeding line with the gap only 0.2 mm. Each quarter wave transmission line has its own specific wide dimension for 50Ω, 70.71Ω and 100Ω to ensure equal current distribution towards all four patches could be realized. Quarter-wave transformers of 70.71 Ω are used to have an ideal match between the 100 Ω lines and the 50 Ω lines. The high gain antenna is essential in a human microwave detection system for penetrating the multilayer structures by enhancing the focus of the electromagnetic energy into the desired structure. The antenna with reflector recorded wider bandwidth; 1.6 GHz-10.8 GHz associated with higher gain ranged from 3.2 dB until 14.1 dB compared with an antenna without reflector operated from 2.2 GHz to 10.8 GHz with lower gain ranges of 2.1 dB to 10.2 dB.

To provide a sustainable fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), several multiplexing techniques have been developed for this purpose. The correlation features are the main obstacle behind the network performance limitation, which imposes to a high level of multiple access interference. However, the development of multiplexing techniques helps to overcome these limitations, such as optical-code division multiple access (Optical-CDMA). Optical-CDMA is considered as one of the most powerful solutions for FTTH. This paper aims to enhance FTTH network performance by applying Zero cross-correlation code (ZCC) with Optical-CDMA with maximum link single-mode fiber. In the simulation, the system performance is demonstrated in terms of bit error rate, Q-Factor and eye diagram measurements.

Space division multiplexing, in conjunction with wavelength division multiplexing, is a powerful mechanism that increases spatial channels significantly in a single optical fiber. Spiral Phased-Laguerre-Gaussian (SP-LG) modes indicate that they effectively reduce mode coupling, thereby increasing the channel response and performance positively. However, mode-coupling influence optical fiber system leads to inter-symbol interference (ISI) between the channels and reduces both capacity and distance. In this paper, we apply the SP-LG modes in a space wavelength division multiplexing over a few-mode fiber system. The results demonstrate significant improvements in reducing channels effects and ISI. The performance evaluations are based on the bit-error-rate (BER), eye diagram and spectrum analyzer.

The advancement of sport, especially sport coaching in Indonesia, depends on the level of success of sport science and technology transfer process to sport community. This study aims (1) to describe patterns of sports science and technology transfer process to community, and (2) to analyze the level of accessibility and familiarity of the tools of technology-based physical ability test among coaches and sport community. This is a continuation of embryo research on modeling selection and utilization of technology-based devices through the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) at the research stage next year. The experiment was conducted by applying the combination method of various approaches. The approaches includes: Bibliographical Studies, Survey Descriptive, Nominal Groups Technique (NGT), as well as certain stages of a study on modeling the selection and use of hardware and software tools of modern physical ability test on sports community achievements in Surakarta. The results showed that basically the coaches have a tendency as follows: (1) 98.7% respondents felt that most coaches are ready to make improvements by training themselves in using sports science and technology, (2) 97.3% felt that a refreshing model of science and technology-based exercise planning process organized by the stakeholder group exercise can be followed periodically and coached evenly, (3) Respondents did not agree with the statement that community sports coach had appreciation for applied sports science and technology development, the lowest mean item score is the issue of “appreciation of science and technology development in sports”. It is high time for coaches in Indonesia to increase their appreciation to sport science and technology, and sport community.

Sujud (prostration) is one of the main pillars of a Muslim’s prayer. It involves seven limbs as derived from the sayings or the acts of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) or the hadiths. However, the correct way in pertaining to sujud has received different opinions from Muslim scholars. The differences are based on the hadiths and there are two different ways of acts interpreted by Muslim scholars which are: preceding by hands or preceding by knees. Thus, this study investigated the differences in terms of statistical analysis using electromyography signals (EMG) of the lower limbs muscles, specifically the Gastrocnemius and Tibialis Anterior Muscles. Here, it was shown that there was no significant difference between the muscles on these postures of solat, although there are different opinions on the way of pertaining to sujud based on the authenticity of the hadiths and also their interpretation by the scholars.

Nowadays, the technologies had experienced massive changes. With the enhancement of technologies, enable devices, software as well as application to be synergised together and creating a new system. The synergised new system enables humankinds to have more productive live ahead in the future. Augmented Reality Mobile Information System (ARMIS) is a system developed using smart phone devices, web studio, mobile application and Quick Response (QR) Code; used to create an overlay image that able to portray the information of products. This system was developed due to the price checker in hypermarket giving out several problems towards the hypermarket customer & retailers, such as giving out a few information regarding towards the product, consuming more electric current, it hidden somewhere in the store and the linear barcode which holding less information. The crucial concept of ARMIS is development of QR Code, development of AR, development of mobile application and the implementation of ARMIS into smart phone devices. Using the model of Alessi Trollip, the product had undergone a few procedures in its development. The main objectives are to develop and introduce ARMIS and to test the ARMIS reliability whether it meets the need of the consumer. ARMIS system also had undergone the Alpha Test where the survey was done towards the The Store hypermarket’s customer in Kangar, Perlis, multimedia expert possesses Master or Ph.D and as well as the KPDNKK’s officer.

This study is aim to understand how the Instagram application being used as an effective communication tool for the Manager of Kelantan State’s football team or famously known as The Red Warriors (TRW) to manage the football team. The TRW is chosen because it was the first State football team in Malaysia that led by a female manager. The researchers reveal that the content posts in the Instagram can influence the readers to follow the Instagram and how they react towards all posts. Therefore, the researchers monitor the TRW manager’s Instagram account every day for one month to see how she anticipate the Instagram as one of the effective communication tool in managing the TRW. They also explore the visual identity of the content and observe the feedback received with regards to the content post in the manager’s Instagram account to manage her TRW. Using the content analysis research approach, this study find that it is very effective communication tool when the contents has visual identity impact based from the type of feedbacks received from followers. This study shows that the sport leadership does a good choice to use Instagram as main effective communication tool where direct communication process happen in place between the manager and her followers on Instagram. The results of the study also show that contents with video status get more feedbacks compare to pictures and some deficiencies in feedbacks have been identified based on the visual identity elements outlined in this study.
