In Malaysia, the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 (WPA) provides protection to a person in an organisation who exposes misconduct, alleged dishonest or illegal activity that violates the existing laws, among others. For example, alleged fraud, health and safety violations, and corruption, to name but a few. Undeniably, most whistleblowers are inte

Public Higher Education Institution (PHEI).The main objective is to consolidate the opinions of experts on types of video games,predicted year of appearance, and suitability of types of video games. Fuzzy delphi (FDM) is mainly used to consolidate a consensus of selected 30 experts from various disciplines and backgrounds. The administered instrume

Stuttering or stammering is disruptions in the normal flow of speech by dysfluencies, which can be repetitions or prolongations of phoneme or syllable. Stuttering cannot be permanently cured, though it may go into remission or stutterers can learn to shape their speech into fluent speech with an appropriate speech pathology treatment. Linear Predic

The blood pressure of the offspring of dams fed on low or high salt diet during pregnancy and lactation are higher than that of normal sodium dams. The mechanism of the programmed hypertension in the offspring has not been identified. The experiment aims at studying the effects of high and low maternal dietary sodium on their offsprings’ glomerul

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a well-known class of machine learning algorithms used in planning and controlling of autonomous agents. Most of the issues in planning and controlling of robots are caused by uncertainties in the actuators and sensors of robots. The paper discusses important issues faced by RL in unknown and unstructured environments

Breast cancer has become a global health issue requiring huge expenditures for care and treatment of patients. There is a need to discover newer cost-effective alternatives for current therapeutic regimes. Mango kernel is a waste product with potential as a source of anti-cancer phytochemicals, especially since it is non-toxic towards normal breast

Lightweight block cipher algorithms are vital for constrained environment. There are three factors should be considered when you design lightweight block cipher algorithm which are security, performance and cost. In this paper, we have improved the cost factor of OLBCA algorithm by decreasing the number of Substitution box (S-box) without a major e

Purpose: To develop and validate a new sensitive and low-cost method for the analysis of amlodipine in tablet dosage form using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with ultraviolet (UV) detection. Methods: Standards and samples were prepared by dissolving amlodipine besylate standard or amlodipine tablets in mobile phase

This paper proposes FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) based high speed Sudoku solver platform. It focuses on the FPGA ability to solve complex problems in a little time. This ability comes from parallel execution of multiple processes at the same time. FPGA with 50 Mega Hertz crystal is used. The output of this work is an embedded system that is

Ionic conducting polymer thin films consist of poly (ethylene oxide)-chitosan blend, ammonium iodide NH4I and iodine crystal I2 were prepared by solution cast technique at room temperature. To improve the mechanical properties of the polymer thin film, chitosan (C6 H11 NO4) is added to the electrolyte, ammonium iodide (NH4I) is added to supply char
