BEING an Ipoh girl through and through, the name Bukit Jalil meant nothing but the Bukit Jalil Stadium and the International Medical University for me before I started working on this series. It is indeed true that to know and feel the essence of a place; one should visit the nooks and cran- nies of the area, talk to its people, eat its food THARMINI and inhale its air. That is what we did, and it has KENAS become much more than the stadium and univer- sity to me. In fact, I have grown fond of Bukit Jalil’s food and people. A fresh view We took our time to truly understand the vibe that Bukit Jalil exudes and had so much fun exploring the place while listening to its stories from locals. The opportunity to do all these had greatly rewarded me.

However, their definition and characteristics are inconsistent and developing a systematic classification has been recognized to avoid the inconsistency. Several efforts have been made but the approach mainly based on a few criteria and classified manually according to the types that stated in the regulatory framework. Therefore, this study developed a classification system based on multi-criteria that represents the structure and function of urban green spaces using Kuala Lumpur City, Malaysia as a model. The useful of the systematic classification for urban green spaces planning and management was interpreted through landscape pattern analysis. In this study, land use map of Kuala Lumpur City was used as a based. Through field observation, information from Kuala Lumpur City Hall and satellite image interpretation, seven criteria were identified to develop the classification system. Landscape pattern was based on landscape metrics analyzed using FRAGSTAT 3.3. The analysis defined five categories of urban green spaces: conservation green space, greenway, community green space, residential green space and amenity green space.

  • Tracking the Early Depleting Transmission Dynamics of COVID‑19 with a Time‑Varying SIR Model Kian Boon Law1*, Kalaiarasu M
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Tracking the early depleting transmission dynamics of COVID‑19 with a time‑varying SIR model Kian Boon Law1*, Kalaiarasu M. Peariasamy1, Balvinder Singh Gill2, Sarbhan Singh2, Bala Murali Sundram2, Kamesh Rajendran2, Sarat Chandra Dass3, Yi Lin Lee1, Pik Pin Goh1, Hishamshah Ibrahim4 & Noor Hisham Abdullah4 The susceptible‑infectious‑removed (SIR) model ofers the simplest framework to study transmission dynamics of COVID‑19, however, it does not factor in its early depleting trend observed during a lockdown. We modifed the SIR model to specifcally simulate the early depleting transmission dynamics of COVID‑19 to better predict its temporal trend in Malaysia. The classical SIR model was ftted to observed total (I total), active (I) and removed (R) cases of COVID‑19 before lockdown to estimate the basic reproduction number. Next, the model was modifed with a partial time‑varying force of infection, given by a proportionally depleting transmission coefcient, βt and a fractional term, z. The modifed SIR model was then ftted to observed data over 6 weeks during the lockdown. Model ftting and projection were validated using the mean absolute percent error (MAPE). The transmission dynamics of COVID‑19 was interrupted immediately by the lockdown. The modifed SIR model projected the depleting temporal trends with lowest MAPE for I total, followed by I, I daily and R. During lockdown, the dynamics of COVID‑19 depleted at a rate of 4.7% each day with a decreased capacity of 40%. For 7‑day and 14‑day projections, the modifed SIR model accurately predicted I total, I and R.
