The relationship between perception of organizational politics, job satisfaction and organizational commitment was examined among 60 staff (both academic and non-academic) in UiTM Sarawak. Three standard instruments: Perception of Organizational Politics Scale (POPS) by Kacmar and Carlson (1994); Job satisfaction by Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Paul E. Spector (1994) and Organization Commitment Scale by Meyer and Allen (1991). Results of the instrument's Cronbach Alpha measurement show that the score of reliability is above. 80 which indicates an acceptable level. Perception of organizational politics was found to have a negative relationship with job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The findings of this study may help top management to design organizational strategies to curb organizational politics and reduce its negative effect on job attitudes. This study provides insights on the influence of organizational politics on work attitudes such job satisfaction and organizational commitment which are important variables affecting employee's job attitude in organizations.","PeriodicalId":404626,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Business, Engineering & Industrial Applications Colloquium (BEIAC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123809849","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}

Thus, visually impaired people encounter many challenges in day-today travelling. Identifying and avoiding obstacles in the environment is the most crucial among them. To empower blind navigation, numerous electronic travel aids were created in the past few decades, by using various obstacle sensing technologies such as sonar, infrared, and stereo vision. However, optical flow estimations based navigation, which is heavily used by insects and experimented in the field of robotics, has not been used in them. This project aimed to evaluate the potential optical flow estimation based techniques has in guiding a visually impaired person to avoid obstacles using auditory and tactile feedback. To demonstrate the researched core concepts, a prototype consisting of a virtual reality world was designed and developed. It also employs an existing optical flow algorithm for motion estimation, other image processing techniques, speech synthesis for auditory feedback and embedded programming for tactile feedback. The modular design of the prototype enables it to be used either in simulation mode, or as a standalone application in a real world environment. This work demonstrates the attractive possibilities of using optical flow estimations for visually impaired navigation.","PeriodicalId":404626,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Business, Engineering & Industrial Applications Colloquium (BEIAC)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125388793","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 system utilised routinely available information in healthcare settings as the minimum dataset. The UNU-IIGH has devised the UNU Casemix Grouper that is currently being used as the casemix grouping engine in a number of developing countries. In the next stage of development, UNU-IIGH plans to deploy the system using the cloud computing platform. The term “cloud computing” denotes the use of Internet-based computers for a variety of computing application services known as Software as a Service (SaaS). As definitions evolve and refine, cloud computing now implies the move away from centralised computing applications into remote applications running in a “cloud” of computers. Users of cloud computing are not concerned with the inner workings of the remote application and only “see” and “use” the services being requested, without control of the technology infrastructure to make it happen. It is envisaged that through cloud computing, the users of the UNU Casemix Grouper will not be overburdened with the initial capital cost for the infrastructure development required for using the casemix grouper. With cloud architecture, the UNU grouper would be able to support the implementation of casemix system to a wider audience especially in developing countries with limited local IT infrastructure. This will ensure that developing countries with limited development budget and basic IT infrastructure has access to much-needed tools like casemix grouper; as well as introduce much needed financial efficiency and clinical quality to their healthcare system. This paper presents the architecture and development of UNU casemix grouper in cloud computing environment and discusses its strengths, weaknesses and challenges in implementing the programme in the health information systems of developing countries.","PeriodicalId":404626,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Business, Engineering & Industrial Applications Colloquium (BEIAC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115545950","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}

Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, however, there are still no specific guidelines for developers to build and design the internal part of houses for Muslim accordingly to Islamic teachings or to their Creator's requirements. The principal aim of this research is to produce basic Islamic guidelines for the developers to build and design the internal part of houses for Muslims in this country. Data was gathered from public, mainly Malaysian Muslims who owned a house or more than a house via questionnaire survey and supplemented by a personal interview with an experienced person from an urban developer company in Kuala Lumpur. The study revealed that several Muslims are still lack of knowledge on the proper Islamic ways or teachings when choosing the design of a house especially the interior part of it. This means that they are unaware on the importance of having the Islamic knowledge of choosing and buying a house or houses accordingly to their Creator's requirements which have been expressly inside the Al-Quran and Sunnah. The research finding concluded that the idea of producing a basic guideline of building a Muslim house accordingly to the Islamic teachings whereby it signifies that it is feasible as Islam is the official religion of Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":404626,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Business, Engineering & Industrial Applications Colloquium (BEIAC)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132831514","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}
