Determinants of Overweight and Obesity Among University Students: A Logistic Regression Analysis of Knowledge, Lifestyle, and Psychological Factors
type: item
description: Recent data from the Ministry of Health Malaysia (2023) reported that 54.4% of Malaysian adults are classified as overweight or obese, representing a 4.3% increase since 2019. The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity poses a significant public health concern, as these conditions are major risk factors for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which remain among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Despite this growing trend, empirical research examining the determinants of body mass index (BMI) among university students in Malaysia remains limited. This study aimed to examine the influence of knowledge, lifestyle, and psychological factors on BMI levels among university students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 316 students from two faculties at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Kota Bharu using a structured questionnaire to assess these variables. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the respondents was 23.4% and 11.4%, respectively. The findings indicated that knowledge and lifestyle factors were significantly associated with BMI status among university students. These results emphasize the importance of targeted health education and behavioral interventions to foster healthier lifestyles and mitigate the risk of overweight and obesity within the university population.

Components Analysis in Finite Mixture Model
type: item
description: Determining the appropriate number of components within a finite mixture model is a challenging issue in statistical modelling. This is because the inappropriate choice misinterprets the data and could lead to poor performance. For this purpose, this study will apply empirical data on energy consumption and exchange rate in Malaysia to determine the suitable number of components using the finite mixture model. This study applies Akaike Information Criterion and Bayesian Information Criterion model selection criteria for considering model adequacy. The results demonstrated that the log-likelihood increases as the number of components increases. Indeed, even Akaike Information Criterion still favoured more complex models. However, Bayesian Information Criterion reached a minimum value of three components, which resulted in choosing the most suitable model structure. These results also indicated that Akaike Information Criterion overestimates the number of components. However, Bayesian Information Criterion yielded a more parsimonious and interpretable solution. This study tries to give practical meaning to model selection in mixture modelling. This study also points out the effectiveness of Bayesian Information Criterion in identifying meaningful group structures when the data are heterogeneous.

A SELECTION OF COURIER SERVICE PROVIDERS AMONG STUDENT UITMCK USING FUZZY ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS (FAHP)
type: item
description: Courier services are now a vital component of contemporary life, enabling timely delivery of goods and documents while supporting the fast growth of e-commerce. Students frequently utilize these services for both personal and academic objectives and their decision is heavily influenced by elements like cost, delivery time, and consistency. In order to assess and rank four courier service provider such as GDEX, J&T Express, Pos Laju, and Ninja Van among students at Universiti Teknologi MARA Kelantan Branch (UiTMCK), this study suggests using the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP). Ratings for criteria and alternatives were provided by five experienced decision makers using a linguistic scale. Decision makers evaluate the criteria using triangular fuzzy numbers within the context of FAHP which enables them to handle uncertain decision situations. Subsequently the calculated fuzzy weights adjust the influence of each criterion. These criteria serve as evaluation bases for alternatives after going through normalization procedures. The evaluation was conducted based on four main criteria which are cost efficiency, tracking and traceability, delivery timeliness and order accuracy. The results indicates that J&T Express ranked as the most preferred courier service, followed by Ninja van, GDEX and Pos Laju. Cost efficiency was identified as the most significant criterion, suggesting that pricing remains the primary consideration among student users. FAHP helps to deal with uncertainty in decision making, making it suitable for evaluating complex criteria.

Stability and Prediction of HFMD Dynamics in Malaysia using an SIR Model
type: item
description: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) remains a significant public health concern in Asia, with Malaysia and neighbouring countries frequently reporting outbreaks. To better understand its transmission dynamics, this paper applies a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model to HFMD in Malaysia. The analysis focuses on model positivity, equilibrium behaviour, and stability, while the basic reproduction number (R0) is derived using the next-generation method. Two threshold scenarios are considered: when R0<1, the disease-free equilibrium is stable, indicating eventual eradication, whereas when R0>1, the endemic equilibrium is stable, signifying sustained transmission. Numerical simulations support these theoretical results and emphasize the critical role of R0 in shaping outbreak outcomes. A key contribution of this paper is the examination of infection risk variation, showing that higher risks accelerate the shift to endemic persistence, while lower risks extend the stability of the disease-free state. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of threshold dynamics and infection risk in determining HFMD spread. By integrating analytical and numerical approaches, this study offers insights that can inform more effective public health strategies in Malaysia.

Bifurcation Analysis of Stage-structured Prey-predator Interactions in Sea Turtle Populations
type: item
description: In this study, a stage-structured prey-predator model is used to describe the dynamics of sea turtles and their marine predators across different life stages. Marine predators primarily target hatchlings, while mature sea turtles can survive independently and immature individuals often rely on external support. This paper employs stability analysis and bifurcation analysis and treating the conversion rate from sea turtle eggs to hatchlings as the bifurcation parameter. Graphical results, including bifurcation diagrams, phase-plane plots, and time series graphs, are produced with XPPAUT, Maple, and MATLAB, respectively. The analysis identifies a transcritical bifurcation point that marks a change in system stability under varying conversion rates. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the conversion rate strongly influences prey-predator dynamics: low rates can cause predator extinction, moderate rates allow coexistence, and high rates increase predation on hatchlings. Overall, the study highlights the ecological importance of hatching rates for maintaining balance and guiding conservation strategies, with particular attention to preventing species extinction.

A New Framework for 3D Point Cloud Reconstruction of Geometric Object from Multi-View Images
type: item
description: This paper proposed a new framework to enhance the 3D point cloud reconstruction from multi-view images. The accurate 3D point cloud is crucial to produce a 3D model SURF ace which can be used in many applications. There were still challenges in the existing approach to reconstructing accurate 3D point clouds as it involves various camera orientations. This paper proposed a simplified experimental setup based on pure camera translation to capture the images from four viewpoints. Geometric object measurement is used as the ground truth data to measure accuracy. Besides, the optical flow feature match method, perspective projection and image transformation were used to reconstruct the 3D point cloud. The result shows that all objects have an average RMSD value of 1.24mm in width and 1.26mm in depth. These values are lower than the previous method based on the images captured using known rotation, indicating higher accuracy. In future, the generated 3D point cloud can be used to create the 3D model SURF ace.

Utilizing the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) Approach to Identify the Best Online Food Delivery Services
type: item
description: The rapid growth of online food delivery (OFD) services has led to an overwhelming number of options available to consumers. Choosing the best service provider among the multitude of available options has become a complex decision-making process. This study proposes Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) approach to evaluate and rank three popular OFDs: Foodpanda, GrabFood, and OdaMakan, among students at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Kelantan Branch, Kota Bharu Campus. Three experts were invited to assess and rate the performance values of criteria and alternatives using a linguistic scale. The evaluation is based on four criteria: service, cost, time, and quality. The fuzzy set theory is utilized to transform the linguistic evaluation statements of experts into criteria weights that are produced by the FAHP. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the FAHP in selecting the best OFD and that GrabFood is at the first ranking followed by Foodpanda and OdaMakan. Cost is identified as the most important criterion followed by time, service, and quality. The findings of this study can assist OFD providers in understanding the factors that contribute to customer satisfaction and help them to improve their services accordingly.

Structural Equation Modelling of Factors Influencing Students’ Perception Towards Academic Performance
type: item
description: Academic performance is a central focus in education, reflecting a student’s ability to understand and apply knowledge across various subjects while shaping their skills and attitudes. This study aimed to examine the relationship between factors (personal, teacher, institution, household) and perception on academic performance. In this study, a cross-sectional design was employed, selecting 183 students from two chosen cluster schools in Kelantan to determine the factors affecting students’ perceptions of academic performance. Data were collected through a set of questionnaires and analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS) in SmartPLS software using explanatory factor analysis. This study employed descriptive analyses, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and a structural equation model approach to comprehensively evaluate both the measurement and structural models. Results revealed a moderate relationship with students’ perceptions of academic performance, whereas other variables such as teacher factor, institution factor, and household factor have a weak relationship. Apart from that, the findings indicate an insignificant relationship between teacher factors and perception of academic performance. Meanwhile, the perception of academic performance is significantly influenced by household, institutional, and personal factors. Consequently, the findings will allow relevant authorities, especially the educational authorities, to enhance academic achievement by addressing the key factors that influence students’ academic achievement in cluster schools.
