According to WHO, environmental health addresses all the physical, chemical, and biological factors which is external to a person, and all the related factors impacting towards behaviour. It includes the assessment and control of these environmental factors that can potentially affect health (Rinkesh, 2017). It is targeted towards preventing diseases and creating a health-supportive environment. Rapid urbanisation is the major cause of environmental health hazards in many countries.

  • The Rapid Development and Concentration of the Trawl Fishery
    ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL REEFS IN MALAYSIA Gazi Md. Nurul Islam, Kusairi Mohd Noh, Fatimah Mohd Arshad, Aswani Farhana Mohd Noh, Illisriyani Ismail Institute of Agricultural and Food Policy Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia Introduction Artificial Reefs (ARs) are used as effective tools to increase the productivity of fish biomass. In Malaysia, the marine fisheries resources have declined considerably over the past decade primarily due to overfishing particularly by using trawls. Commercial fishing gears, i.e. trawl nets and fish purse seines are prohibited from fishing in Zone A (0-5 nautical miles) to reduce fishing effort. This area is reserved for the artisanal fishers using traditional fishing gears. ARs are now increasingly being recognized as important aspect of fisheries management and conservation. Various floating objects have been used as aggregating devices for fish called unjam in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia since the early 1900s (Hung, 1988). The artisanal fishers have established unjams close to the coast to attract small pelagic fish (Anderson and Gates, 1997). The Department of Fisheries (DOF) and the Fisheries Development Authority Malaysia (LKIM) have introduced artificial reefs (ARs) in various locations in the coastal waters since 1987. Recently the structural designs and materials of ARs have been changed. The main purpose of establishing ARs is to protect marine habitats from trawls and to compensate the effects of stock depletion. There is a growing need for the conservation of fisheries resources to enhance the productivity of the fish biomass and to rehabilitate marine habitats to improve the income of artisanal fishers (Islam et al.

They were retrieved from the wild to be traded by the coastal communities for more than 20 years. This bivalve plays role in contributing as income resources for the local community caused by the continuous harvesting from their habitat. There is a lack of research in determining the population density and size of A. cornea in Setiu Wetlands Therefore, this study aims to determine the population density and size of A. cornea in Setiu Wetlands during Northeast monsoon season from November 2015 to March 2016 by using line transect method. A total of 1,506 individuals of A. cornea were collected with the lowest population density recorded in December 2015 (2.83 ± 0.64 individuals /m2). The highest was in March 2016 (4.37 ± 0.97 individuals /m2). Mean size of A. cornea recorded was 23.92 mm shell length, 20.69 mm height and 16.39 mm width. The largest A. cornea was recorded in November with shell length, height and width of 56.16 mm, 45.13 mm and 39.77 mm, respectively.

  • COVID-19) Outbreak Among Islamic Missionaries in Terengganu State of Malaysia in 2020
    International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 04 October’21 Original Article Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak among Islamic Missionaries in Terengganu state of Malaysia in 2020. Goh Soo Ning1, Hafizuddin Awang2, Ahmad Fuad Omar3, Juhaida Jaafar3, Fatimah Muda3, Mohd Hanief Ahmad4, Kasemani Embong1, Nor Azimi Yunus1 Abstract Background: Malaysia experienced an outbreak of COVID-19 after Islamic missionaries returned from religious gathering in Sri Petaling Mosque, Kuala Lumpur. The outbreak extended to the state of Terengganu which also resulted in an outbreak in a private Islamic institution known as BKMQ (an anonymized name) in Kuala Terengganu District. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to describe the characteristics of COVID-19 cases and the experience of COVID-19 outbreak containment in BKMQ. Results: There were six individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in BKMQ. Majority of them were male (83.3%), in the age group of 20 to <40 years old (50.0%) and had fever as their symptom (50.0%). The time of last exposure to diagnosis among majority of cases were 12 days, and majority of cases (66.6%) stayed in hospital between 20 days to less than 40 days. Conclusion: The transmission of virus was postulated to be through household exposure and vehicle sharing. Prompt action, immediate lockdown and inter-agencies collaboration were the key factors in successfully controlling the spread of COVID-19 in the institution and community.

  • The Evaluation of Spatial Variation of Water Quality in Sungai Setiu Basin
    Sains Malaysiana 46(9)(2017): 1513–1520 http://dx.doi.org/10.17576/jsm-2017-4609-21 The Evaluation of Spatial Variation of Water Quality in Sungai Setiu Basin, Terengganu (Penilaian Perubahan Reruang terhadap Kualiti Air di Lembangan Sungai Setiu, Terengganu) IZYAN MUNIRAH M. ZAIDEEN, SUHAIMI SURATMAN & NORHAYATI MOHD TAHIR* ABSTRACT This study investigates the spatial variation of water quality parameters in Sungai Setiu Basin at ten different locations from March 2010 to February 2011. The water quality was assessed using the Water Quality Index by Malaysian Department of Environment (DOE-WQI) and classified according to the Malaysia Interim National Water Quality Standard (INWQS). Six water quality parameters embedded in the DOE-WQI were dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, ammoniacal nitrogen (AN) and total suspended solid (TSS). In addition, this study also examined the changes in water quality over the past 10 years by comparing the present water quality to the previous works. The overall mean WQI value obtained was 84.0 which indicate that the Sungai Setiu basin is in clean condition and all measured water quality parameters gave value within the permissible limits of the INWQS classification except for pH which fall in Class III. It can be concluded that water quality in Sungai Setiu does not varies greatly over a decade. Hence continuous monitoring is needed to improve the water quality and minimize water pollution. Keywords: DOE-WQI; INWQS classification; physical parameters; Sungai Setiu basin (Malaysia) ABSTRAK Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengkaji variasi reruang bagi parameter kualiti air antara sepuluh lokasi yang berbeza di lembangan Sungai Setiu bermula pada Mac 2010 hingga Februari 2011.

E. fuscoguttatus were sampled from the Semerak River, Kelantan (n=5) and the Setiu Wetland, Terengganu (n=20) in April and May 2016 respectively. The samples were digested according to microwave digestion method and analysed for iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni) using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry Perkin Elmer Elan 9000 (ICP-MS). The bioaccumulation of metals (mg/kg, dry weight) follows the order of Fe> Zn> Cu> Ni> Pb and the concentration trend significantly increased from muscle to gill to liver, respectively (p<0.05). Liver was found as a good bioindicator of Fe, Cu and Zn accumulation in both study areas. In contrast, Pb and Ni accumulation in E. fuscogutatus from Semerak River were found higher in muscle than liver with 2.48±1.99 mg/kg dry weight and 16.3±4.10 mg/kg dry weight, respectively compared to 0.99±0.78 mg/kg dry weight and 2.47±1.42 mg/kg dry weight, respectively.

PhytoKeys 131: 1–26. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.131.35944 Abstract Of the 92 Codonoboea species that occur in Peninsular Malaysia, 20 are recorded from the state of Tereng- ganu, of which 9 are endemic to Terengganu including three new species, C. norakhirrudiniana Kiew, C. rheophytica Kiew and C. sallehuddiniana C.L.Lim, that are here described and illustrated. A key and checklist to all the Terengganu species are provided. The majority of species grow in lowland rain forest, amongst which C. densifolia and C. rheophytica are rheophytic. Only four grow in montane forest. The flora of Terengganu is still incompletely known, especially in the northern part of the state and in moun- tainous areas and so, with botanical exploration, more new species can be expected in this speciose genus. Keywords Checklist, key, new species, Codonoboea norakhirrudiniana, Codonoboea rheophytica and Codonoboea salle- huddiniana, endemism Introduction The centre of diversity of the genusCodonoboea (Gesneriaceae) is Peninsular Malaysia from where at least 92 species of the 140 named species are known (Lim and Kiew 2014).
