nanoparticles from Citrus grandis.
Nur Syazana Jalani, Wong Michell, Wong Ee Lin, Sharifah Zati-Hanani, Uda Hasim and Rozaini Abdullah
Abstract
A plant-mediated approach using Citrus grandis or pomelo peel extract was studied for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles
(AgNPs). The effects of parameters such as pH, incubation temperature and reaction time on the synthesis of AgNPs were also
studied. It was found that the formation of AgNPs enhanced with time at higher temperature and alkaline pH. The formation
of synthesized AgNPs were confirmed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) as determined by UV-Vis spectra around 400.5 to
414.0nm. Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) of synthesized AgNPs showed the carboxyl, hydroxyl and amide groups
on the surface of pomelo peel extract responsible for the reduction of silver ions. Size and shape of nanoparticles was
analyzed by Field emission scanning microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (FESEM-EDX) shows spherical shape of
nanoparticles with size ranging from 30 to 60 nm.

Dynamic Simulation for Distillation Column
Nasser Mohamed Ramli and Haslinda Zabiri
Abstract
In this paper, a model of distillation is developed for simulation purposes. The model can be used to study the behavior of the
column. The model used in this research is based on the distillation column in the Crude Distillation Unit in the oil refinery
industry. The main tool used for modeling and simulation of the debutanizer is MATLAB. The MATLAB toolbox ode45 is
applied in to obtain the solutions of ordinary differential equations. Simulation study was performed on the model in order to
understand the principle and behavior of the column. Tuning was then done to optimize the performance of the column

The Direction of Physical and Health Education in 21st century in Malaysia
Shahrulfadly Rustam and Mohar Kassim
Abstract
Twenty-first century formal and informal learning environments found in schools and in the community must be crafted to
inform, inspire, and transform individuals to enhance their lives, work, and play. The world is increasingly interconnected and
learning environment that will require a more global perspective, in terms of culture and context related. Technology will
provide a way to spread information from one part of the world to another world. The impact of globalization in education
affect the learning environment of the twenty-first century with the communication of ideas, concepts and ideas in society. This
article explains the problems that occurred in the Physical and Health Education curriculum (PHE) on the twenty-first century
and peeling the importance and the challenges faced in this century. It also discusses the extent to which the direction of the
Physical and Health Education can empathize with the National Education Philosophy in other words to elevate it. But to
uphold the desire, various obstacles and problems in the Physical and Health Education curriculum should be acted upon.
Among them is the attitude of school administrators towards Physical and Health Education and the attitude of the students
themselves involved in Physical and Health Education activity in schools. It is hoped this article can give input to the reader or
researcher in searching for solutions in Physical and Health Education curriculum so that it is parallel to the goal of the
National Education Philosophy.

Integration Between ERP Software and Business Intelligence in Odoo ERP: Case Study A
Distribution Company
Yulia Kendengis and Leo Willyanto Santoso
Abstract
Odoo is an open-source ERP software. Odoo has advantage in price because it’s free. And from the functional side, Odoo has
been equipped with more than 4500 modules, one of them is business intelligence (BI). BI is a solution and technique that
helps company to understand about the business situation to make effective business decisions and meet their objectives. A
study about the integration between Enterprise Resource Planning and BI in Odoo ERP will be explained in this paper. In the
case study, we used sales data from a distribution company.

Implementation of Chemical Reaction Based on Augmented Reality
Alexander Setiawan, Silvia Rostianingsih and Timotius Reinaldo Widodo
Abstract
One of the interesting technologies today that can be developed on a smart phone is Augmented Reality (AR). AR is capable of
supplying information that is easy to understand by the users. The benefit above can be used to make a learning application to
support a learning process. One lesson that can make use of this technology is chemistry, specifically about chemical reactions.
On this research, a chemical reaction learning application that utilizes library vuforia and Unity by using C# programming
language will be made. Along with the 3D object creation is made by an application called Blender. The test result shows that
applications that are made by using library vuforia and Unity can run well. High school students are able to picture the chemical
reactions by using this application.

Academic Decision Support System for Top Management
Leo Willyanto Santoso and Yulia
Abstract
The ability to analyze and act on data is increasingly important to businesses, including in the education industry. Academic
records of student of XYZ University which have been stored so far have not been used to generate some insights. XYZ
University’s top-level management needs a tools to produce information from the records. The generated information is
expected to support the decision-making process of top-level management. Effective business intelligence (BI) tools assist
managers with decision making. BI tools provide decision-makers with the information that they need to make insightful
decisions. Before starting the application development, analysis and design of the student academic records and the needs of
Top-level management are done. The design stage produces a number of modeling that will be used to create the application.
The final process of the development is an Academic Decision Support System application for XYZ University.

Investigating Learners’ Perception of Uncertainty Level and satisfaction in learning experience
in an Authentic Problem-based Learning Classroom
Dr. Loh Kah Heng
Abstract
Learners of Problem-based learning (PBL) are expected to gain learning experience from “real world” problems through uncertainty
resolution alongside with the problem solving process. The uncertainty incorporated in the authentic PBL problem acts as a source
of intrinsic motivation and a stimulus to learning which appears as the natural provocations for real learning experience. PBL
learners must seek information to resolve uncertainty in various stages of the problem solving process. This paper aims to investigate
the perception of PBL learners with regards to their uncertainty level and satisfaction in learning experience while following an
authentic PBL approach in learning physics. 78 students (FALL 2016 Semester) from American Degree Transfer Program at Taylor‟s
University in Malaysia participated in this study. These PBL learners were randomly assigned into two equal groups. The
independent variables were groups of students with and without pretesting while dependent variables were PBL learners‟ perception
of uncertainty level and satisfaction in learning experience. Uncertainty construct was developed and designed to measure an
individual‟s real or anticipated uncertainty level with regards to the cognitive, affective and physical dimension in a 30-item selfreporting,
numerically measurable questionnaire. Satisfaction in learning experience will measure learners‟ satisfaction in learning
experience with regards to the benefits through construction and made sense of the information gathered and knowledge acquisition,
and application of the acquired knowledge to perform the learning task in a 10-item self-reporting, numerically measurable
questionnaire. The pre-test and post-test questionnaires consist of 40 items with high reliability, that is Cronbach‟s Alpha of 0.852
(pre-test instrument) and 0.882 (posttest instrument) for the survey questionnaire. Results from the analysis of repeated T-tests and
independent sample T-Tests showed that PBL learners‟ uncertainty level was reduced while satisfaction in learning experience was
increased after attending the authentic PBL activities. Besides, the Pearson‟s correlation coefficient between the decrease in
uncertainty level and increase in rating of satisfaction in learning experience were statistically correlated.
