The development of spatial or non-spatial digitized Consolidated Sarawak Geotechnical Site Investigation (CoGSI) database aims to enable information to be stored in a digital form with the efficient search and fast retrieving data. The CoGSI database for Sarawak Soil is a function of a database management system, which consists of the site information; includes the project name, locations coordinates (division), borehole logs, field and laboratory test results. The main objectives of the project are to collect, store & digitized all verified & approved Geotechnical SI data and the input gathered from the local authority, consultants and contractors. The digitized database would be enormous value for future planning of infrastructure developments; making preliminary design estimates for earthwork/foundation assessment; and future decision making with early identification of potential areas for construction purposes, which will produce an economic and safe design. The SI databases are important resources where the insufficient ground conditions information, will cause either a significantly over-designed or an under-designed solution, which lead to potential failures. In addition, the project is also intended to realize a web-based application to allow users to search borehole, view bore-logs and provides digital downloadable boreholes data of the available ground information in a standard format for analysis. At present most of the SI data are available in the form of hardcopy reports, which is time consuming and often frustrating, especially when the required report or data cannot be found. In summary, the Consolidated Sarawak Geotechnical Site Investigation (CoGSI) database system, which stored in a digital format are deployed as a web-based system. This platform provides exploration of the digital databases, which then can be accessed anywhere and anytime through the desktop & portable computer and smart phones with internet access facility.

AbstractAn intensive site investigation consisting of electric cone penetration tests, vane tests, Delft sampling and thin wall sampling holes has been carried out in soft alluvial soils in the Humberside area. This programme facilitated a correlation to be made between static cone end resistance with the undrained shear strengths obtained from the vane testing and laboratory test results. A discussion is presented on the various cone correlation factors (Nk) obtained and these results are compared to the cone factors established by others in similar soil conditions elsewhere.

BACKGROUND Most displays of laboratory test results include a standard reference range. For some patients (eg, those with chronic conditions), however, getting a result within the standard range may be unachievable, inappropriate, or even harmful. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to test the impact of including clinically appropriate goal ranges outside the standard range in the visual displays of laboratory test results. METHODS Participants (N=6776) from a demographically diverse Web-based panel viewed hypothetical glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test results (HbA1c either 6.2% or 8.2%) as part of a type 2 diabetes management scenario. Test result visual displays included either a standard range (4.5%-5.7%) only, a goal range (6.5%-7.5%) added to the standard range, or the goal range only. The results were displayed in 1 of the following 3 display formats: (1) a table; (2) a simple, two-colored number line (simple line); or (3) a number line with diagnostic categories indicated via colored blocks (block line). Primary outcome measures were comprehension of and negative reactions to test results. RESULTS While goal range information did not influence the understanding of HbA1c=8.2% results, the goal range only display produced higher levels of comprehension and decreased negative reactions to HbA1c=6.2% test results compared with the no goal range and goal range added conditions. Goal range information was less helpful in the block line condition versus the other formats. CONCLUSIONS Replacing the standard range with a clinically appropriate goal range could help patients better understand how their test results relate to their personal targets.

Mustard greens is one of the plants that is very susceptible to disease. There is no type of mustard greens plant that is strong against disease or pests. In order to overcome or treat these diseases and pests, mustard greens farmers need to know the type of disease or pest that is attacking. But unfortunately, farmers' knowledge regarding mustard plant diseases is limited to the visible symptoms or the condition of the affected plant. The lack of knowledge of mustard greens farmer practitioners is due to the lack of counseling so that the presence of experts to help farmers is needed. Unfortunately, the experts are not always able to help if the condition requires fast handling because the number of experts are not many. In this study, this problem was resolved by developing a system equivalent to expert knowledge in detecting diseases in mustard plants. The system developed was a web-based system to detecting types of mustard disease automatically with the forward chaining method which can be used as an alternative to manual activities carried out by experts using 9 pests/diseases and 18 symptoms. The test results showed that the level of accuracy with expert expertise reaches 88.8%

Abstrak: Indonesia Career Center Network menemukan fakta bahwa 87% mahasiswa Indonesia merasa salah jurusan. Salah jurusan merupakan salah satu faktor dalam penurunan performa belajar dan tidak sedikit pelajar yang akhirnya memutuskan untuk tidak melanjutkan studi. Kejadian ini dapat dicegah dengan mendeteksi minat anak sejak dini agar orang tua dan guru dapat mengarahkan mereka kepada kebutuhan potensi dan pendidikan mereka. Salah satu cara mendeteksi minat anak adalah berkonsultasi langsung kepada psikolog pendidikan. Minat anak dideteksi oleh psikolog melalui alat tes yang dilakukan secara manual. Kendala dari proses ini adalah waktu yang dibutuhkan tidak singkat karena memerlukan ketelitian dalam menghitung, memeriksa hasil dan memberikan rekomendasi. Kesalahan proses analisis kalkulasi dari alat tes kapanpun dapat terjadi yang berakibat kesalahan dalam mendeteksi minat seseorang. Penelitian ini membahas pengembangan sistem rekomendasi berbasis web yang bertujuan membantu pakar agar analisis minat anak menjadi lebih cepat, fleksibel dan tercegah dari kesalahan. Metode Waterfall digunakan untuk mengembangkan sistem dan alat tes Rothwell-Miller Interest Blank digunakan untuk perhitungan dalam mendeteksi minat anak. Sistem ini diujikan dengan 20 sampel dan semua hasil deteksi keluaran dari sistem sesuai dengan hasil deteksi dari pakar. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sistem ini memberikan akurasi yang sangat baik sehinga dapat membantu pakar dalam mendeteksi minat anak.Kata kunci: Sistem Rekomendasi, Web, Waterfall, Minat, Rothwell-Miller Interest BlankAbstract: The Indonesia Career Center Network found that 87% of Indonesian students felt they were on the wrong education path. This situation is one of the factors in decreasing learning performance. These incidents can be prevented by early detection of children's interests. Children's interests could be detected by doing a consultation with an educational psychologist. A psychologist detects children's interest through manual tests. The problem with this process takes a long time because it requires accuracy in calculating, checking results, and providing recommendations. Errors in the calculation analysis process from the test tool can occur at any time, which results in errors in detecting someone's interest. This study discusses developing a web-based system that aims to assist experts in analyzing children's interests to be faster, more flexible, and error-prevented. The Waterfall method is used to develop a system, and the Rothwell-Miller Interest Blank method is used for calculations in detecting children's interests. This system was tested with 20 samples, and all the output detection results from the system were in accordance with the detection results from experts. The test results indicate that this system provides excellent accuracy to assist experts in detecting children's interests.Keywords: Recommender System, Web, Waterfall, Interest, Rothwell-Miller Interest Blank

In order to design and realise an efficient building refurbishment, it is necessary to carry out an exhaustive investigation of all solutions that form it, ie planimetric and volumetric changes, the elimination of building deterioration and obsolescence, the improvement of architectural and aesthetic appearance and indoor environmental quality, etc). The efficiency level of the considered building's refurbishment depends on many factors, including cost of refurbishment, annual fuel economy after refurbishment, tentative pay‐back time, harm to health of the materials used, aesthetics, maintenance properties, functionality, comfort, sound insulation and longevity, etc. Solutions of an alternative character allow for a more rational and realistic assessment of economic, ecological, legislative, climatic, social and political conditions, traditions and for better satisfaction of architectural, comfort, functional, maintenance and other customer's requirements. They also enable one to cut down on refurbishment costs. The selection of a refurbishment version mostly depends on the needs and existing financial capability of tenants. Based on an analysis of the existing neural networks, information, expert and decision support systems and in order to determine the most efficient versions of building refurbishment, a Multiple Criteria Decision Support Web‐Based System for Building Refurbishment (BR‐DSS) consisting of a database, database management system, model‐base, model‐base management system and a user interface was developed. The developed BR‐DSS and its practical application are described in the paper. Basing oneself on the developed system and database, it is possible to perform the alternative design of a building's refurbishment, multiple criteria analysis and make the selection of the most efficient versions, etc.
