Title: Government, Universities, and Private Companies Influences on Smart Cities Performance: Malaysia Perspectives
Authors: Khairul Azizan Suda; (UniKL MIDI)
Abstract: In empowering the performance and growth of smart cities in Malaysia, it is crucial to have a good grasp of the dynamic between different departments and teams within the government’s institutions. This dynamic is mainly
represented by a comprehensive workflow and interaction. However, part of the problem that was found is collaboration (Internal and external). A framework has been developed based on the different reviews of past kinds of literature through online searches and has proven that smart cities stakeholders consist of government institutions, universities, and private companies, whereby a total of five hypotheses were derived and therefore, assessed using a quantitative method over Malaysian smart cities stakeholder. A questionnaire was built and distributed to Malaysian smart cities stakeholders therefore data was collected to perform a pilot study. The results from the pilot study have shown a positive, significant, and direct relationship between Smart Cities' Performance with Government institutions, Universities, and Private companies, and vice versa. In addition, there are relationships between government institutions with universities, and private companies. Therefore, the performance of smart cities depends on those factors to ensure the sustainability of smart cities in Malaysia.

Title: Multi-Objective Optimization of Magnetic Pulsed Linear Accelerator using Genetic Algorithm (Conference paper)
Authors: M. Rezal.; Abdul, M.M.A.,; Dahaman, I.
Abstract: Current electric trains use railway to move and lead to high capital cost, longer travel time, and vibration effect to the surrounding building. An Evacuated Tube Tranport and Hyperloop are example of new promise technology that can overcome those problems. In order to reduce the design processing time, an optimization model is applied to optimized the proposed magnetic pulsed linear accelerator. This paper discussed the optimization of magnetic pulsed linear accelerator using Genetic Algorithm (GA). A magnetic pulsed linear accelerator is supplied with a 0.5J electrolyte capacitor. The accelerator’s coil is made from a 18AWG insulated copper wire wound at a 2cm diameter cylindrical tube. The projectile is made from a 10g cylindrical ferromagnetic material with diameter of 1.8cm. A thyristor 2N6403 is used as switching device that connect the electrolyte capacitor to the accelerator’s coil. A freewheeling diode is attached parallel with the accelerator’s coil to protect the thyristor from the return current from the accelerator’s coil. The accelerator’s coil outer diameter and its length, are the two parameters chosen as optimization parameters. The objective functions are to have highest projectile speed and magnetic field density. The results showing the optimized magnetic pulsed linear accelerator have an optimum projectile speed of 2.04ms-1 with 3.43T magnetic field density. The accelerator’s coil outer diameter is 60mm and 230mm in length. These values are obtained from the GA Pareto front output.

Title: Learning Spanish Vocabulary Beyond Classroom through MicroLearning(Conference paper)
Authors: Hou-Keat, K.; M. Kamarul, K.
Abstract: Micro-Learning (ML) has been repeatedly touted as a successful learning approach in different learning phenomena. To provide more insight from the foreign language perspective, an 11-week quasi-experiment was conducted to investigate whether ML could increase Spanish vocabulary knowledge (VK) among Malaysian technical students. Students (N = 67) attending the Spanish course were divided into three groups: the experimental group received a four-week ML explicit vocabulary instruction; the comparison group received a comparable one-off online explicit vocabulary instruction, and the control group received no treatment. The target language items involved 140 Spanish words and the VK was measured using multicomponent vocabulary tests. Results indicated that ML led to significant acquisition (d = 0.95) and retention (d = 1.05) in overall VK if compared to the control group. However, no significant difference was found between the comparison and the experimental groups. This suggests that ML can be as effective as the conventional explicit instruction in facilitating multicomponent vocabulary acquisition and retention among the Malaysian learners of Spanish. Consequently, pertinent practitioners and teachers may consider the potential of ML in complementing the classroom vocabulary learning not only for Spanish but also across different languages and settings.

Title: Child Safety in Car Crashes: A Modeling Approach for Safety System Improvements
Authors: Yusoff, S.; Fakhira, N.S.; Jemily, N.H.B
Abstract: Traffic-related trauma is the most common cause of fatality and severe injury to children in
developed countries. Injury epidemiology has shown that special attention is needed for the 3-year- olds in boosters and the 12-year-olds in seat belts only. The aim of this paper is to study the frontal
and side-impact models and to use them to investigate and define the beneficial characteristics of
restraint systems and other crash-related car parameters. Qualitative approaches using two load
cases were analyzed and validated via video. The validations from the frontal impact type and near- side impact showed that the child had high potential to mitigate injuries resulting from a frontal
impact. The upper belt anchor point should be positioned so that the belt is routed near the mid- shoulder (slightly toward the neck) and encloses the shoulder (tight fit). These findings are
significant contributions to the continuous work of mitigating traffic accident induced injuries and
fatalities to children. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland
