A total of 41 participants from Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, United States of America and Vietnam attended the workshop. With reference to existing practices on carbonate chemistry and laboratory analysis, monitoring of biological parameters, bioerosion, accretion and calcification and biodiversity, the workshop finally came up with a plan of actions to be taken over the next intersessional period. Thus four working groups were established at the workshop towards the development of SOPs, respectively on Total Alkalinity, Spectrophotometric pH, Biology, and Carbonate Collection and Handling. All participating institutions demonstrated their great interests in developing the SOPs and agreed that draft procedures for carbonate chemistry shall be available by December 2015 for testing while draft procedures for biology shall be reviewed as soon as possible. Moreover, all participants also agreed to develop an IOC Technical Manual on the regional SOPs by the end of 2016, based on all results of the working groups. IOC Workshop Report No. 1. Opening and self-introduction The second WESTPAC Training Workshop on Research and Monitoring of the Ecological Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Coral Reef Ecosystems was convened at 09:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 26 August 2015 at the Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC), Phuket, Thailand.

    UNOFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION PRESS STATEMENT INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES IN KLANG CAN CONTINUE OPERATIONS The 22nd Special Session Meeting by the National Security Council (NSC) chaired by the YAB Prime Minister this morning discussed specifically the COVID-19 pandemic spread issues including the situation of new COVID-19 cases in the Klang District. I have reported to the NSC Conference on the results of my discussion early this morning with the Selangor State Health Director, Dato’ Indera Dr. Sha’ari Ngadiman in relation to the health situation in the Klang District and the proactive steps taken by the State Health Department to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Selangor. The NSC Conference gave attention to and took note of the developments and current situation including the feedback received from industry associations as well as from local and international chambers. The State of Selangor contributes 24 percent to the entire Gross Domestic Production (GDP) of Malaysia and 30 percent to the nation’s manufacturing sector. From the labour market aspect, there are almost 3.5 million employees in Selangor which constitutes 23.2 percent of the nation’s labour force. The Klang District is a major industrial activity centre and a main hub for container ports in Malaysia, contributing more than RM400 billion in trade activities in Port Klang in 2019. Therefore, after considering the current health situation in the Klang District and the importance of ensuring economic sustainability, the MKN Conference today decided to allow all economic sectors in the Klang District to continue operations as usual with strict compliance to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

It examines the way in which the British acquired and controlled land as a resource, and the ways in which companies raised and applied investment capital. It considers the means of recruiting an adequate supply of labour, and controlling it as a workforce; it demonstrates a close relationship between the rubber companies and the State, which was modified by the special interests of the State itself. Land and capital The British established a settlement on the island of Singapore at the beginning of the nineteenth century, but it was not until some 50 years later that they began to take a serious interest in the Malay peninsular proper.

    International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 8 (1.7) (2019) 282-287 International Journal of Engineering & Technology Website: www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJET Research paper Assessment of Flood Risk Analysis in Selangor Norazliani Md Lazam1*, Sharifah Nazatul Shima Syed Mohamed Shahruddin1, Muhammad Haris Baharrudin, Hanisah Md Jani, Azyan Farahin Azhari , Nur Farisya Farhani Khairul Nizam 1Actuarial Science Department, Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Flood events occur every year especially during the monsoon season. Although its consequences are not as disastrous as other natural disasters such as earthquakes and tornado storm, but it still gives off a great deal of destruction towards social, operational and financial sectors. Recently, most of the events occurred are not happened at the common marked areas and seasons. It happened anywhere and anytime. Hence, it is not surprise that at any time, any place could be affected by flood incidents. Therefore, an analysis on flood incident is crucial in mitigating the flood risk and at the same developing the flood safety measures. This study aims to analyse the flood frequen- cy and flood magnitude of all nine districts in Selangor. Data is gathered from the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) Selangor, from 2008 to 2017. Petaling Jaya posted the highest number of flood cases at 249 cases out of 1,161 cases in Selangor throughout the period of 2008 to 2017. Poisson distribution was used to estimate the probability of flood occurrence, and the results show that Petaling Jaya has recorded the highest probability of flood occurrence with at least one event in a day.

Urbanism model stating that the rise in urban crime and social problems is based on three population indicators namely; size, density and heterogeneity. The objective of this paper is to identify crime patterns of the hot spot urban crime location and the factors influencing the crime pattern relationship with population size, population density and rate of urbanization population. This study employed the ArcGIS Pro 2.4 tool such as Emerging Hot Spot Analysis (Space Time) to determine a crime pattern and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Regression to determine the factors influencing the crime patterns. By using these analyses tools, this study found that 54 (53%) out of 102 total neighbourhood locations (2011-2017 years) had a 99 percent significance confidence level where z-score exceeded +2.58 with a small p-value (p <0.01) as the hot spot crime location.
