Development of Pineapple Peel Vinegar
type: item
description: Pineapple peel is part of the by-products from pineapple processing industries and harvesting activities. The pineapple waste produced from rising demands of pineapple products worldwide will eventually disturb the environmental balance and contribute to environmental pollution. Further utilization of pineapple waste into valuable products can reduce the waste generated, conserve the environment, and potentially generate income from the developed products. In this study, peel from four types of Malaysian pineapple namely Morris, Josephine, MD2 and N36 were used to produce vinegar. Vinegar has been reported to offer beneficial health effects when taken regularly. This study's objective is to determine the vinegar characteristics produced from each pineapple peel by evaluating the physicochemical analysis and antioxidant activity. The vinegar was prepared by adding pineapple peels with sugar, distilled water, viable yeast, and yeast nutrient to a beaker. Sodium bicarbonate was added to adjust the pH to 4.0. The beaker was sealed, and the fermentation was allowed to take place at 25 - 28˚C for two days. The fermenter was then filtered, the filtrate was covered and further fermented for another 11 days. Results obtained indicate that the suitable pineapple peel for production of vinegar was the peel of MD2. MD2 peel vinegar showed the lowest pH, browning values and total acidity compared to others. Meanwhile for antioxidant activities using DPPH method, MD2 pineapple peel showed the highest antioxidant activity among the other types of pineapple peel.

UTILIZE THE LEAST SQUARE METHOD TO QUANTIFY THE PERIMETER OF GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOUR
type: item
description: This study focuses on calculating the arc length of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) to determine the tumour's perimeter using the least-squares method. The method involves developing a mathematical equation that corresponds to the tumour model to calculate the perimeter even under uneven conditions. Least squares is used to find the best-fit line or curve that minimizes the sum of squared differences between observed data points and predicted values, commonly used in regression analysis. For tumour perimeter calculation from ultrasound data, the study employs both the least squares method and the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. By determining that 1 mm on the graph paper corresponds to 1.2929 mm in actual size, the total arc length is calculated to be 9.5026 mm. Manual measurements, especially with complex shapes and small details, can be prone to errors. Therefore, PeriSolve, a graphical user interface (GUI) and professional simulator, is designed to simplify perimeter calculations for uneven surfaces, with a specific focus on using the least squares method.

The Effects of Watching Children's Animated Cartoons on the Aggressive and Prosocial Behavior of Primary School Pupils
type: item
description: Cartoons have long been a beloved source of entertainment for children, yet concerns about their influence on children's behavioral development are increasingly coming to light. This study investigated the impact of exposure to selected animated cartoons on the aggressive and prosocial behaviors of primary school children. Using a quasi-experimental design, a treatment group (exposed to animated cartoons) was compared to a control group (watching documentaries). Data analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed significant reductions in both physical and verbal aggression among children in the treatment group, accompanied by significant increases in prosocial helping and sharing behaviors. In contrast, the control group showed no significant changes in any of these behaviors. These findings align with Bandura's social learning theory, supporting the role of observational learning and imitation in shaping children's behaviour. The results suggest the potential for utilizing thoughtfully designed animated media as an intervention to promote prosocial behaviour and mitigate aggression in children. Further research should explore the long-term impact of such media exposure, delve into the mechanisms underlying imitation, and investigate the influence of individual and contextual factors on behavioral responses.

Measuring the Performance of Public Universities Malaysia Using CCR Model and Ranking with Super Efficiency Model
type: item
description: The efficiency and productivity of a country's higher education system significantly influence its ability to develop and flourish. Furthermore, efficiency becomes a crucial performance metric for universities overall, assisting decision-makers in formulating policies that promote the intended outcomes and prudently allocating resources. There is a lot of pressure on public higher education around the world to perform better and be of higher quality. This study examines the efficiency scores of 20 public universities in Malaysia using the input-oriented CCR model and output-oriented CCR model and also the Super Efficiency model. Three inputs and five outputs are determined to measure the performance of the university. The number of postgraduate students enrolled, the number of undergraduate students enrolled, and the number of academic staff are the inputs, while the number of graduates, the number of graduates working, the number of graduates who choose to further studies, the number of graduates who choose to develop skills, and the number of graduates waiting for work placement are the outputs. The findings show that out of 20 public universities, 13 public universities are efficient with an efficiency score equal to 1 using the input-oriented CCR model and output-oriented CCR model. Meanwhile, the remaining seven public universities showed inefficient score results. UNIMAP got 4.103862 for the Super Efficiency score, which was ranked first out of thirteen efficient public universities in 2023, making it the most efficient public university.

type: item
description: This study explores the utilization of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as an electrolyte in a micro-scale voltaic cell experiment integrated into a Project-Based Learning–Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (PjBL-STEM) framework. The primary aim is to develop an applicable green chemistry learning model that contributes to sustainable energy solutions. A quasi-experimental method was implemented with Grade XI science students at Sekolah Indonesia Kota Kinabalu, involving the stages of problem identification, experimental design, implementation, data analysis, and reflection. Results demonstrate that POME effectively functions as an alternative electrolyte, producing up to 8.71 Volts and 3.12 mA of current in a five-cell series configuration. The linear relationship between the number of POME cells and the generated voltage (Y = 17.25X + 1.85) indicates its potential as a micro-energy source for low-power electronic devices. The integration of local waste into science education not only supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No. 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and No. 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), but also fosters opportunities for renewable energy innovation grounded in local contexts. This model can be adapted in resource-limited schools to promote learning that is relevant, contextual, and environmentally conscious.
