  • Seeking the State from the Margins: from Tidung Lands to Borderlands in Borneo
    Seeking the state from the margins From Tidung Lands to borderlands in Borneo Nathan Bond ORCID ID: 0000-0002-8094-9173 A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. December 2020 School of Social and Political Sciences The University of Melbourne i Abstract Scholarship on the geographic margins of the state has long suggested that life in such spaces threatens national state-building by transgressing state order. Recently, however, scholars have begun to nuance this view by exploring how marginal peoples often embrace the nation and the state. In this thesis, I bridge these two approaches by exploring how borderland peoples, as exemplars of marginal peoples, seek the state from the margins. I explore this issue by presenting the first extended ethnography of the cross-border ethnic Tidung and neighbouring peoples in the Tidung Lands of northeast Borneo, complementing long-term fieldwork with research in Dutch and British archives. This region, lying at the interstices of Indonesian Kalimantan, Malaysian Sabah and the Southern Philippines, is an ideal site from which to study borderland dynamics and how people have come to seek the state. I analyse understandings of the state, and practical consequences of those understandings in the lives and thought of people in the Tidung Lands. I argue that people who imagine themselves as occupying a marginal place in the national order of things often seek to deepen, rather than resist, relations with the nation-states to which they are marginal. The core contribution of the thesis consists in drawing empirical and theoretical attention to the under-researched issue of seeking the state and thereby encouraging further inquiry into this issue.

  • Evidence of New Intragenic HBB Haplotypes Model for the Prediction
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Evidence of new intragenic HBB haplotypes model for the prediction of beta‑thalassemia in the Malaysian population Nur‑Aisyah Aziz1,2, Wan‑Rohani Wan Taib1*, Nur‑Khairunnisa Kharolazaman1, Imilia Ismail1, Hamid Ali Nagi Al‑Jamal1, Nadiah Wan‑Arfah Wan Abdul Jamil1, Ezalia Esa2 & Hishamshah Ibrahim3 This study sought to determine the potential role of HBB haplotypes to predict beta‑thalassemia in the Malaysian population. A total of 543 archived samples were selected for this study. Five tagging SNPs in the beta‑globin gene (HBB; NG_000007.3) were analyzed for SNP‑based and haplotype association using SHEsis online software. Single‑SNP‑based association analysis showed three SNPs have a statistically signifcant association with beta‑thalassemia. When Bonferroni correction was applied, four SNPs were found statistically signifcant with beta‑thalassemia; IVS2‑74T>G (padj = 0.047), IVS2‑16G>C (padj = 0.017), IVS2‑666C>T (padj = 0.017) and 3’UTR + 314G>A (padj = 0.002). However, 3’UTR + 233G>C did not yield a signifcant association with padj value = 0.076. Further investigation using combined fve SNPs for haplotype association analysis revealed three susceptible haplotypes with signifcant p values of which, haplotypes 1‑2‑2‑1‑1 (p = 6.49 × ­10−7, OR = 10.371 [3.345– 32.148]), 1‑2‑1‑1‑1 (p = 0.009, OR = 1.423 [1.095–1.850] and 1‑1‑1‑1‑1 (p = 1.39 × ­10−4, OR = 10.221 [2.345–44.555]). Three haplotypes showed protective efect with signifcant p value of which, 2‑2‑ 1‑1‑1 (p = 0.006, OR = 0.668 [0.500–0.893]), 1‑1‑2‑2‑1 (p = 0.013, OR = 0.357 [0.153–0.830]) and 1‑1‑ 2‑1‑1 (p = 0.033, OR = 0.745 [0.567–0.977]).

  • Identity Card
    IDENTITY CARD Government facilities face a challenging and ever changing risk profile. Security systems are paramount to increase safety and security for employees, area citizens and elected officials. But many government facilities, especially those in small city and towns are not staffed with a full-time security staff. So, technology becomes an even more important piece of the security puzzle. A long time ago, traditional analog-based system used but in this modern life it’s not effective enough to recure these critical facilities but the promise of Information Technology (IT) can help facilities manage and control risks. Government need advance networked tools that leverage the power of the IT backbone to correlate information from traditionally separate subsystems like video surveillance, analytic, access control, alarm management and VoIP for example into one platform to increase situational awareness and help security staffs identify violence or threats before an event occurs. Other than that, the using of identity card in our country which is known as MyKad. MyKad is the compulsory identity document for Malaysian citizens aged 12 and above. MyKad was introduce by the National Registration Department of Malaysia on 5 September 2001 as one of four MSC Malaysia flagship application and a replacement for the High Quality Identity Card. Malaysia became the first country in the word to use an identification card that incorporates both photo identification and fingerprint biometric data on an in-built computer chip embedded in a piece of plastic. Besides, the main purpose of the card as a validation tool and proof of citizenship. Other than the birth certificate, MyKad also serve as a valid driver’s license, an ATM card, an electronic purse and a public key, among other applications as part of the Malaysian Government Multipurpose Card (GMPC) initiative, if the bearer chooses activate the functions.
