Serial crime recognition is a critical task. Usually, police officer investigates the serial crime behavior based on their heuristics, evidence or prior information from public. Sometimes, the police officer makes inadequate decision when handling the serial crime problems due to lack of preliminary study on relationship between serial crime and amenities. Therefore, this study explores k-means to identify pattern of surroundings area at serial comersial crime scene. In Malaysia, precisely Selangor, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur and Wilayah Persekutuan Putrjaya, a set data of serial crime including index and non-index, and its surroundings area at crime scene are being investigated. Experimental result shows that ‘hot spot’ amenities such as bank, commercial center, restorant, place of worship, resident and school are highly involved with three types of crime namely house breaking at night, day and robbery without firearm. Furthermore, radius distance with 0.2 km and 0.3 km between the crime scene location and its amenities at surroundings area captured from Safe City Monitoring System are also being evaluated and analyzed. Consequently, our finding helps the police to easily observe and prevent criminal behavior by assigning necessary human resource based on their ‘hot spot’ amenities.

Introduction: Tooth restoration is a common, routine procedure among dentists but still has its own difficulties especially for posterior teeth. As it is a straightforward procedure, some dentists are not aware of the difficulties that may contribute in reducing the longevity of the filling. The aim of the study is to determine the difficulties encountered during and after placement of restorative materials in deep cavities. Materials and methods: Standardized questionnaires were divided randomly among general private dental practitioners in Kuala Lumpur. Chi-square test was used to determine any significant factors associated with difficulties of material placement. Results: This study showed that the most frequent difficulties encountered among practitioners were to obtain good moisture control (39.0%). No significant association was found between obtaining good moisture control and year of clinical experience (p= 0.286) and also place of graduation with the manipulation of the materials (p= 0.542). Conclusion: Dental practitioners claimed that it was difficult to obtain good moisture control in placement of posterior restoration. Thus, it is an obligation of dental practitioners to practice proper isolation and good manipulation of materials on posterior restoration.

Alternative Sources

Portable water consumption in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding area is expected to grow by 34% from 2005 to 2010. This increase in demand will be met by the construction of new reservoirs. However, reservoirs are dependent on rainfall and during prolonged periods of drought, as occurred in 1998, they could become empty. Therefore it is of great importance to develop alternative sources of water supply, including groundwater, to mitigate the effects of a serious water crisis. In this paper, results from a preliminary study on Kuala Lumpur's groundwater resources are presented. Modelling of the city's groundwater resources is extremely difficult given the limitations imposed by data availability and the karstic nature of some aquifers. Hence, the research presented here serves as a starting point for further studies rather than providing any definitive conclusions. In addition to the study results, the planning implications of groundwater extraction are discussed.

Penumpuan berlebihan kepada akademik dan suasana pembelajaran yang cenderung mengukur kecemerlangan berdasarkan prestasi dalam peperiksaan didapati tidak memberi  kelebihan kepada mahasiswa dalam memperolehi kemahiran insaniah melalui proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran (P&P) sesuatu mata kuliah. Kajian ini merupakan satu kajian awal dan sebagai permulaan memfokuskan kepada salah satu MPU iaitu TITAS. Ia bertujuan untuk menjelaskan inovasi yang dilaksanakan terhadap  kursus TITAS khususnya berkaitan strategi pembelajaran di Universiti Malaya dan melihat persepsi pelajar terhadap inovasi strategi pembelajaran yang menerapkan elemen Kemahiran Insaniah (KI) serta pencapaian mereka di dalam memperolehi KI tersebut. Sebagai satu kajian awal hanya dua elemen KI sahaja yang menjadi fokus iaitu kemahiran kerja berpasukan dan kemahiran berkomunikasi. Metode kajian yang digunakan adalah kajian perpustakaan bagi menjelaskan tentang pelaksanaan kursus TITAS dan menganalisis pencapaian pelajar dalam KI kursus ini. Soal selidik juga diedarkan kepada 120 mahasiswa yang telah mengambil mata kuliah TITAS dan dapatan kajian adalah secara deskriptif iaitu dalam bentuk peratusan dan kekerapan atau frekuensi untuk menganalisis data. Hasil kajian ini mendapati bahawa persepsi mahasiswa terhadap inovasi strategi pembelajaran dan metode penilaian yang dilaksanakan adalah baik. Ini telah memberi kesan yang baik juga kepada pencapaian yang diperoleh dalam penilaian kerja kursus dan pencapaian KI mereka.  Mahasiswa tidak menghadapi masalah dalam melaksanakan tugasan secara berkumpulan yang terdiri daripada pelbagai etnik dan latar belakang.INNOVATION ON TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR THE APPLICATION OF HUMAN SKILLS IN THE COURSE OF ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION AND ASIA (TITAS) AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR MALAYSIAExcessive focus on academics and learning environment that tends to measure excellence based on performance in examinations was found not to give an advantage to students in acquiring soft skills through the teaching and learning process (T&L) of a subject. This study is a preliminary study and as a start focuses on one of the MPU which is TITAS. It aims to explain the innovations implemented on TITAS courses, especially related to learning strategies at the University of Malaya, and look at students' perceptions of learning strategy innovations that apply the elements of Soft Skills (KI) and their achievements in obtaining the KI. As a preliminary study, only two elements of KI were the focus, namely teamwork skills and communication skills. The research method used is a library study to explain the implementation of the TITAS course and analyze student achievement in the KI of this course. Questionnaires were also distributed to 120 students who have taken TITAS courses and the findings of the study are descriptive in the form of percentage and frequency or frequency to analyze the data. The results of this study found that students' perceptions of the innovation of learning strategies and assessment methods implemented are good. This has also had a positive impact on the achievements obtained in the evaluation of coursework and their KI achievement. Students do not face problems in performing tasks in groups consisting of various ethnicities and backgrounds.
