A previous study reported that ethanol extract of Mareme leaves exhibits active inhibitory activities of α-amylase enzyme. This study aimed to determine the α-amylase enzyme inhibitory activities of fraction and isolate from Mareme leaves. The ethanol extract of Mareme leaves was fractionated by using vacuum liquid chromatography. Then, it was isolated and purified using a chromatotron, a radial chromatographic method. The fraction and isolate were assayed for α-amylase enzyme inhibitory activities. The result indicated that Mareme leaves could inhibit an active α-amylase enzyme inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 28.262 ppm. Mareme leaves isolate has a very active inhibition (IC50 value = 21.024 ppm) comparable with acarbose, a positive control (IC50 value = 19.486 ppm). In addition, the statistical analysis using the t-test also resulted in a significant difference in average inhibition of α-amylase enzyme between fraction and isolate of Mareme leaves. The study concludes that the fraction and isolate of Mareme leaves are potential inhibitors of α-amylase enzyme in reducing calorie intake. As such, this plant extract has been proven that it could be a potential antidiabetic or anti-obesity agent to prevent or treat chronic diseases.","PeriodicalId":17117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Smart Science and Technology","volume":"1263 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86487535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some construction players doubt the practicality in implementing this new technology. Full adoption of Industrialised Building System (IBS) project is not an easy journey. In addition, the implementation of BIM technology into IBS system will put the client's expectation at risk as it is difficult to understand the complex software. Therefore, the aim of this research is to explore the adoption of BIM into IBS application in Malaysian construction industry. Among the objectives of this research are to investigate the implementation of BIM into IBS application, examine challenges in implementing BIM into IBS application and propose ways to improve the incorporation of BIM into IBS application by Malaysian construction industry players. Research data were collected through questionnaire survey and the results were analysed using SPSS software. The results showed vast majority of public and private sectors have some experience in handling IBS and BIM projects and these sectors are aware that BIM can facilitate IBS projects. However, the implementation of BIM into IBS application is still at the low level especially in private sectors. One of the challenges faced is its high cost, thus only large organisations can afford its implementation. To successfully improve the incorporation of BIM into IBS project, government should take some measures by organising awareness programs, restructuring IBS and BIM training programs, providing incentive, as well as promoting sustainability development and green construction. By doing that, the proposed measures are expected to increase the confidence of industry players to actively adopt BIM into more IBS projects in Malaysian construction industry.","PeriodicalId":17117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Smart Science and Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80804393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Water pollution was caused by the excess discharge of the toxic substances that enter the water bodies such as lakes, ponds, and streams. The toxic substances that accumulate in the water sources can be harmful for the living. This water is not safe for public use and requires treatments before it is disseminated for household use. As such, activated carbon is a powerful adsorbent in wastewater treatments. Production of activated carbon from agricultural sources has attracted the researcher’s attention. Since agricultural sources are high in availability due to their abundance, low-cost operation, and eco-friendly materials. Activated carbon can remove various dyes including methylene blue, Rhodamine B, methyl orange, aniline yellow, and Remazol brilliant blue R in wastewater discharge from the industries. Activated carbon is also a powerful adsorbent for heavy metals such as Pb (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Zn (II), Cu (II), Cd (II), Mn (II), Hg (II) and As (V). Besides, activated carbon can act as an adsorbent for the removal of common pharmaceutical waste and phenolic compound of 2,4-dimethylphenol.","PeriodicalId":17117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Smart Science and Technology","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74541490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extraction yields from all extracts ranged from 14.58 to 23.01, with the presence of terpenoids as a phytochemical. For anti-ageing activities of all extracts, it was found that the LM-J extract showed the highest antioxidant activity including free radical scavenging, metal chelation and lipid peroxidation activities, whereas the PA‑E extract exhibited the whitening effect including tyrosinase inhibition activity and anti-melanogenesis on B16F10 cells, and the stimulation of collagen biosynthesis on human dermal fibroblasts. In addition, all extracts did not show cytotoxicity on human dermal fibroblasts at 0.1 mg mL-1.

In addressing the issues, the research aim is hence will analyze the challenges of adopting BIM and examine the Sabah state governments’ strategies that have been implemented to address the issues. The list of fourteen (14) BIM challenges that cover cost, process, people, technology were derived from a comprehensive literature review and further investigated through the use of 212 questionnaires distributed using online platform. The respondents were architects, engineers, and quantity surveyors.  It was revealed that among the top challenges highlighted are: people being comfortable with the conventional process, high software cost, as well as incompetent staff to operate the software. The Sabah state government has assisted with the implementation of BIM by offering standard guidelines and continuous financial support; however, the strategies provided by them were still not enough. The result of this study showed that the implementation of BIM in the construction project in Sabah is still below expectations. The awareness among construction players on how beneficial BIM is in assisting their daily project tasks should be further enhanced for better BIM implementation in the region. The outcomes of this study will hopefully provide some directions towards developing managerial strategies for the government to aggressively promote BIM practices among project stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":17117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Smart Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90914807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, it will only show the pH and salinity values at only one point and there are limitations if the area of interest is difficult to be accessed. In this research, a method was studied by using Kriging interpolation technique to map soil salinity and pH near Kelantan and Terengganu paddy cultivation area. Ground truth data were pre-processed to generate an image model mapping which consists of acidity, neutral, alkalinity and level of salinity at coordinates of interest using ArcGIS Pro software. As a result, the estimated pH and salinity value range were between 3.9 to 5.9 and 0.48 to 0.71 ds m-1 respectively. To test the accuracy of the model, analysis of RMSE was done for pH (0.854) and salinity (0.057).

Due to the increased awareness of the importance of preserving the environment for health and ecological system, studies are increasingly focused on the use of environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor. This paper discusses several conditioning methods of using organic corrosion inhibitors in concrete reinforcement. It also takes a close look at the effect of every conditioning method towards the reinforced concrete strength and the mechanism to improve it.

Careful examination at their independent elastic parameters reveals sufficient mechanical stability in them. These phases are metallic system, with reasonably high electron concentration near to Fermi level or N(EF) that ranges from 0.6 to 2.4 states/eV cell. It is also interesting for us to observe soft modes and steep-flat energy bands at Fermi levels of Li6Sn2 structures which are stable throughout the pressure range. These features are prerequisites for superconducting behavior. Linear response function with Gaussian and tetrahedron methods reveals satisfactory superconducting transition temperature Tc (3.1 ~ 6.6 K) and Tc (2.1 ~ 2.4 K), respectively.
