A study had been conducted Majid, & Hamdan, 2016). C. nutans belongs to to determine the phenolic, flavonoid, antioxidant family Acanthaceae that can be described as herbs activities and phytochemical compounds of or perennial shrubs that can grow up to 1 m tall. In C. nutans in different locations. C. nutans were Malaysia, it is well-known as ‘Belalai Gajah’ because harvested from eight locations and the leaves of the curve stems appearances that resemble the were extracted with 80 % methanol by maceration curve of elephant’s trunk that means Belalai Gajah process. Then, the phytochemical screening using in Malay word. Confirming to the people who used Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), leaves of C. nutans, they used it as raw vegetable 2,2 diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) assay and sometimes mixed with apple juice, sugarcane method, total phenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteu’s juice, orange juice, green tea, and served as a fresh assay method and total flavonoid content by drink or a refreshing beverage. They have been aluminium chloride (AlCl) were carried out. TheC. 3 practiced drinking C. nutans extracts due to their nutans extracts showed higher antioxidant activities history of the disease in cancers, diabetes, fever, than phenolic and flavonoid content. The neutral jaundice, pneumonia, and hepatitis. They also pH sandy clay soil from location KKK (Kuala Ketil, claimed that they have recovered from the illness Kedah, Malaysia) had higher antioxidant activities especially cancer disease (Shim, Aziana, & Khoo, (58.0 %), phenolic (44.1 mg GA.100 g-1) and 2013). The scientific information on benefitsC. of flavonoid content (30.8 mg QE.100 g-1) compared nutans had been proved to treat many diseases such to other locations. The GC-MS analysis showed as varicella-zoster virus and herpes-simplex virus, the presence of phytochemicals constituents anti-snake venom, analgesic and anti-inflammatory of 20 compounds. The results revealed that and anti-proliferative in cancer cells (Ismail, Arsad, environmental factors (light intensity, temperature Samian, Ab.

This is because findings of this study will provide baseline data for the quality and quantity of secondary metabolites future breeding programs for commercial cultivation. in medicinal plants are largely influenced by the Keywords: antioxidant; C. nutans; environment; environmental conditions.

Both of them are grouped (PBF) and Tasek Gelugor (PTG) (situated at north together into subclasses based on their basic Seberang Perai), Batu Maung (PBM) (situated at chemical structures which are flavanones, flavones, the south-eastern part of Penang Island) and Batu chalcones, flavanols, flavonols, isoflavones and Ferringhi (PBF) (situated at the hilly northern side anthocyanins (Kumar & Pandey, 2013). of Penang Island). In Kedah, three locations of C.

Most of the researchers had been Ketil (KKK). At Perlis, it had been identified one using colorimetric methods to obtain the total location site which was at Taman Herba Perlis at contents of phenolic, flavonoid and antioxidant Sungai Batu Pahat (SBP). It lies at the northern assay from Folin-Ciocalteu assay, AlCl3 assay, part of the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. C. and DPPH assay respectively. To investigate the nutans and are distributed at the elevation between phytochemical compounds of C. nutans in different 8 m to 44 m above sea level. Temperature among locations, GC–MS had been successfully applied. eight locations showed averaged of 32 oC between The GC-MS analysis had been used for plants 30 oC to 34 oC. The soil characteristics and light such as Ziziphus spina-christi (Moustafa, Hesham, intensity were determined using soil and light tester Quraishi, & Alrumman, 2016), Cannabis sativa meter (soil moisture, soil pH and light) while the (Tayyab & Shahwar, 2015), and Justicia adhatoda amount of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus (Gilani, Fujii, Kikuchi, Shinwari, & Watanabe, 2011) level in the soil were determined using advanced to determined variations of chemical compounds soil test kit. The KSP and KKK showed the highest found in different locations. In recent years, the value of pH of 7.0 (neutrality) while the lowest screening of phytochemical compounds of C. nutans value came from location KJN with a pH value of has already been studied such as stigmasterol, 5.0 (acidity).

INTRODUCTION The Kedah Forest Management Unit (hereafter referred to as ‘the Kedah FMU’) was awarded the Certificate for Forest Management against the MC&I (2002) following the Stage 2 Audit that was conducted on 17 – 22 November 2009. Following the certification, the first surveillance audit was conducted on 1 - 4 November 2010, while the second surveillance audit on 14 - 17 November 2011. The recertification audit on the Kedah FMU was conducted from 23-27 September 2012. This was an audit to assess the continued overall compliance of the Kedah State Forestry Department (KSFD)’s forest management system and practices of the Permanent Reserved Forests (PRFs) within the Kedah FMU against the requirements of the Malaysian Criteria and Indicators for Forest Management Certification [MC&I (2002)]. In line with the transition plan from the use of MC&I (2002) to MC&I (Natural Forest), the recertification audit also included the MC&I (Natural Forest) in its audit scope. This recertification audit was conducted by a four-member team comprising Mr. Khairul Najwan Ahmad Jahari (Forester), Dr. Samsudin Musa (Forester), Prof Mohd Basri Hamzah (Forester) and Dr.

  • 2-D Resistivity Imaging of Buried Furnace at Sik, Kedah (Malaysia)
    2-D Resistivity Imaging of Buried Furnace at Sik, Kedah (Malaysia) Dr. M.M. Nordiana Lecturer at Geophysics Section, School of Physics, 11800 Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia e-mail: [email protected] Dr. Rosli Saad Senior Lecturer at Geophysics Section, School of Physics, 11800 Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia e-mail:[email protected] Dr. Mokhtar Saidin Professor at Centre for Global Archeological Research Malaysia, 11800 Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia e-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT 2-D resistivity imaging is non-destructive method that becomes important tools for the scientific investigation of archaeological study. Kedah area has recently shown a great potential of archaeological findings. The main objective of the present work is to locate the extension of the buried furnace in the area of Padang Cicak, Sik, Kedah (Malaysia) using 2-D resistivity survey for shallow investigations. Resistivity data were collected using Pole-Dipole array with 0.5 m electrode spacing. Afterwards, the resistivity data were processed with 2-D inversion resistivity (Res2Dinv) software which includes smoothness constrained. The results revealed high resistivity zones with < 15 Ωm at depth ranging from 0.-1.5 m at the study area. Base on the archaeological evidence, the lower resistivity values indicate the interest anomaly for archaeological excavation. KEYWORDS: 2-D Resistivity, Archaeology, Buried, Furnace, Kedah. INTRODUCTION The geophysical study was conducted at Kampong Padang Cicak, Sik Kedah. It involves 2-D resistivity imaging. The objective of the study is to identify the extension of the furnace found at the area. In an attempt to non-invasively assess the number and extent of the excavation structures, 2-D resistivity was applied at that archaeological area.

A GPR survey was performed on a 7th Century C.E. archaeological site in Bukit Choras, Kota Sarang Semut, Kedah. The site contains cultural ruins of a stupa made of laterite blocks, as well as a few mounds and scattered bricks. The geostrategic position of this site opens the possibility for the discovery of more extensive building structures. Thus, a GPR survey was conducted to test the hypothesis on the presence of more buried structures around the stupas. A total of 13 survey lines with 250 MHz shielded antenna were set up at the site, covering an area of 2040 m2.
