Dual enzymes system consisting of Novozym 435 and Lipozyme TL IM were used due to its specificity towards an ester bond. The reaction was optimized by statistical approach of RSM with four important parameters such as reaction time, reaction temperature, amount of enzymes and molar ratio of substrates. 97.52 % of oleyl oleate was achieved at the most optimum condition (58.67 min, 59.68 °C, 0.37 g enzymes and 2.88 molar ratio of substrates). Regression analysis shows all parameters were significant (Prob P < 0.05) except for the reaction temperature. Keywords—Enzymatic esterification, Dual Enzymes System, Oleyl oleate, Response surface methodology.

A device which is used or intended for flight in the air that has no on-board pilot is called Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UA Vs). UAVs include many devices such asH model based, Y model based, X8 model based etc. An X based model (portable version) is proposed in this paper. An X model based UA V inhibits a four rotors characteristic and has four motors in which each one is designated on each arm. The rotors are in 90 degrees apart from each other, where the front is in between the two front motors. Quadcopters generally use two pairs of identical fixed pitched propellers in which two clockwise (CW) and two counterclockwise (CCW). The movement or heading of the UAV is calculated upon receiving command from its controllers and reacts accordingly. The calculation is performed within the coding, where the value for tuning can be adjusted manually to suit one's preference. The desi...

This study aims to evaluate the relative dental discomfort among preschool children and to assess awareness of parents for toothache-related-behaviours in their children through DDQ. A cross-sectional study was conducted at IIUM Dental Clinic and Kuantan area involving preschool children 5 years old and below in the period of 10 months from February until November 2016. This research was approved by the IIUM Research Ethic Committee (IREC). Inter-examiner reliability was tested with Kappa statistic (0.83). Participants‟ caries status was assessed using decayed-missing-filled teeth (dmft) and self-administered DDQ is filled out by their parents/caregivers. Data entry and data analysis were done using SPSS and Amos® package version 23 with significance level set at p<0.05. 107 children were examined. Reliability score for behaviour section (DDQ-12) sh...

The author propose that psychological capital has an effect toward job satisfaction on millennials front line staff. A theoretical model which psychological capital as independent variable and job satisfaction as dependent variable. This model is tested using data gathered from 100 front line staff. The results show resilience is the only dimension in psychological capital that have a significant relationship on job satisfaction toward millennials front line staff.

Bidang penterjemahan berfungsi sebagai medium untuk memperkenalkan budaya asing kepada masyarakat supaya tidak menimbulkan salah faham. Kajian ini dilaksanakan bagi membincangkan perbezaan budaya dalam terjemahan lagu-lagu P. Ramlee yang melibatkan budaya Melayu dan budaya barat. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti kesalahan terjemahan yang terdapat dalam lagu-lagu P. Ramlee dan membincangkan perbezaan budaya yang terdapat dalam terjemahan lagu-lagu P. Ramlee. Tiga buah lagu P. Ramlee telah dijadikan sebagai bahan kajian iaitu lagu Aci-aci Buka Pintu, Mencece dan lagu Bunyi Gitar. Pengumpulan data bagi kajian ini adalah melalui kaedah analisis kandungan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat banyak kesalahan dalam terjemahan lirik lagu tersebut. Kesalahan ini telah dinyatakan dan perbezaan budaya dalam terjemahan itu turut dibincangkan dalam kajian i...

In the field of language studies, extralinguistic elements are taken into consideration as they provide the information in relation with motivation, emotion, attitudes, personality, and so on that are proven in helping a student in grasping certain languages. In this paper, the researcher connected a few ancillaries and extra-linguistic elements in language learning which are essential in order to indicate how other language learners accept and are willing to learn languages other than the mother tongue. Each learner or instructor needs to acknowledge that learning second language requires more than reading, writing or speaking in the language they want to learn but also the extra efforts to make the learning of the second language more meaningful. Educators must take the existence of extra-linguistic in language learning seriously because the elements in it can help students learn any language easily. Extra-linguistic elements are crucial in achieving educational success. Students, teachers, parents, school and educational ministry should be more concerned in order to ensure students success. Contribution/ Originality: This research is based on the researcher own experience in teaching English as a second language, including the privilege of teaching Japanese as a third language. This research is first of its type to help teachers and educators to identify extra linguistic elements that would influence students in learning a second language. Teachers and educators who manage to identify these elements would be able to create and provide a conducive and interesting learning environment to help students acquire and learn a second language. 1. EXTRA-LINGUISTIC Extra-linguistic is part of education psycholinguistics. The Free Dictionary (2010) defines extra-linguistic as a common knowledge needed to understand one speech or pronunciation. Meanwhile according to Schmidt (2010) extra-linguistic is a language situation outside of the linguistic sphere but still in the scope of language learning as its elements such as motivation, emotion, attitude, personality are taken into account to learn a language and prove
