    Abstract Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is an illness among workers linked to time spent in a building. This study aimed to investigate the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) among administrative office workers. The IAQ parameters consist of ventilation performance indicators, and physical and chemical parameters were measured using specified instruments for three days during weekdays. The SBS symptoms were assessed by a questionnaire adopted from the Industry Code of Practice of Indoor Air Quality (ICOP-IAQ) 2010 among 19 employees from the office in East Coast Malaysia. Relationship between past symptoms and present symptoms which are draught (past symptoms) with feeling heavy headed (present symptoms) (

    Abstract Introduction Many developing countries have drastically imbalanced health systems in different regions. The COVID-19 outbreak posed a further challenge as hospital structures, equipped with doctors, critical care units and respirators, were not available to a sufficient extent in all regions. Objective This study is a descriptive study on the efficiency of Malaysian states in facing the COVID-19 outbreak. Methodology The efficiency of all Malaysian states was measured using Data Envelopment Analysis in which each state's Score of COVID Index (SCI) was quantified. The SCI of these states were then further compared between the year 2020 and 2021. A greater disparity would indicate a decline in the performance of a state over time, where nearly all the states in Malaysia experienced an increase in the score of COVID Index (SCI). Result This study found that the central region was the most affected, since all the three states in the region (Selangor, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, and Federal Territory of Putrajaya) showed a situation of inadequacy (SCI: >0.75) due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Conclusion The ranking of Malaysia's states according to their vulnerability to an outbreak of COVID-19 is vitally significant for the purposes of assisting the government and policymakers in planning their responses to the outbreak and ensuring that resources are distributed appropriately.

    Abstract In recent decades, dengue fever has spread throughout developing countries, including Malaysia. Understanding the distribution pattern is thus important for the sustainability of urbanization. The goal of this study is to examine the trend of dengue cases reported in Johor Bahru District from 2015 to 2019, as well as the spatial pattern of dengue transmission in relation to weather parameters. The distribution pattern and spatial mean centre for dengue cases were found to be localized in the centre of Johor Bahru region, according to spatial statistical analysis. The extended polygon of dengue cluster spanned from the east to the west of Johor Bahru district, according to directional distribution. The least standard distance for dengue cases was 0.104 m in 2015, and the greatest was 0.120 m in 2018, whereas dengue cases in 2016, 2017, and 2019 were measured at 0.111 m and 0.116 m, 0.106 m respectively. Dengue cases in Johor Bahru district were likewise concentrated, according to the average nearest neighbour analysis. Temperature (r = 0.222) was found to be positively connected with dengue cases, although rainfall (r = −0.124) and relative humidity (r = −0.152) were in contrast with dengue cases throughout the five years of study period. The outcomes of the these spatial statistical analyses revealed that dengue cases concentrated in the east to west of the research region from 2015 to 2019. Temperature is determined to be a substantial positive factor correlated for most study years.

    Abstract The influences of environmental forces under different tidal and monsoonal settings on the variability of temperature and salinity, nutrient concentrations, and phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll-a) in a shallow and narrow Setiu Lagoon were studied during the southwest monsoon, wet period of northeast monsoon, and dry period of northeast monsoon. Vertical profiles of temperature and salinity were measured at 10 stations. Water samples were collected at the surface layer of all stations for the determination of nutrient and chlorophyll-a concentrations. The analyses showed that during the southwest monsoon, low chlorophyll-a concentrations were recorded due to limited nutrients supply as a result of strong vertical mixing of the water column and little freshwater input. Meanwhile, large river discharges and heavy rainfalls appeared to be the pushing factors that generated the salt wedges formation, which affected the scale of nutrients availability and phytoplankton biomass during the northeast monsoon. This freshwater discharge was also believed to be the responsible factor that gave rise to different magnitude of nutrient concentrations between low and high tides. The presence of anthropogenic activities in the vicinity of Setiu Lagoon contributed to elevated nutrient concentrations in the study area. However, the stoichiometric criteria of the major inorganic nutrients suggested the phytoplankton growth in the study area was possibly limited by phosphate or dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), thus preventing further increase of chlorophyll-a concentrations.

    Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been recognised as a promising material in a wide range of applications, from safety to energy-related devices. However, poor solubility in aqueous and organic solvents has hindered the utilisation and applications of carbon nanotubes. As studies progressed, the methodology for CNTs dispersion was established. The current state of research in CNTs either single wall or multiwall/polymer nanocomposites has been reviewed in context with the various types of functionalisation presently employed. Functionalised CNTs have been playing an increasingly central role in the research, development, and application of carbon nanotube-based nanomaterials and systems. The extremely high surface-to-volume ratio, geometry, and hollow structure of nanomaterials are ideal for the adsorption of gas molecules. This offers great potential applications, such as in gas sensor devices working at room temperature. Particularly, the advent of CNTs has fuelled the invention of CNT-based gas sensors which are very sensitive to the surrounding environment. The presence of O
