ABSTRACT
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), referred to as drones, can offer many conveniences for carrying out surveillance activities and surveying road conditions by minimizing human interaction in the field during the Covid 19 pandemic, So far, road condition surveys are still based on manual field observations, It requires a long time to take documentation and measure road distress. It could disrupt traffic flow, especially on relatively narrow roads, and surveyor safety on particular roads. In this paper conducted a survey of road conditions during the pandemic using drone. The results showed that a survey of road distress using a drone for 1 km could be carried out in 1 hour by 4 people, requiring 5-8 hours to process data to produce orthophoto products that can be used for identification, inventory, and classification 9 types of road distress in Indonesia research sites. Furthermore, the dimensions of road distress were calculated faster and resulted in accuracy above 97% compared to measurements in the field. © 2023 Author(s).
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affects medical education in anatomy. The new learning environment has lost face-to-face contact, cadaveric dissection and access to anatomy museum which are perceived as the signature methods in anatomy education. E-anatomy kit is a non-conventional teaching modality innovated as an alternative to the gross practical session. The e-anatomy kit was designed to improve the virtual practical experience for first year medical students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia. E-anatomy kit consists of: (a) pre-recorded cadaveric demonstration, (b) 3D4Medical Complete Anatomy app, (c) interactive diagram labelling, (d) schematic diagram, and (e) mnemonic. From educational perspective, the e-anatomy kit is in line with the active learning approach and collaborative learning;its instructional design follows the principles of the Cognitive Load Theory. This article describes the components and systematic approach of e-anatomy kit as a new method for teaching gross anatomy of respiratory system during virtual practical, which is useful for anatomy educators. © 2022 Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia.

ABSTRACT
SARS-CoV-2, the newly identified coronavirus causing human infections, has spread rapidly across the globe as of late December 2019. This pandemic outbreak caused the death of over 50,000 people in a short span of time, and the worldwide health systems were significantly challenged. From a health standpoint, studies show that Covid-19 mostly affects older age groups, whereas children are generally more resilient and less affected than adults. As Covid-19 cases soared in Malaysia, authorities in Malaysia imposed containment measures or Movement Control Orders (MCO) in March 2020. As part of the effort to prevent the spread of the virus, the Malaysian Ministry of Education has also closed all schools nationwide. Researchers realized that such quarantine could adversely affect children who were being quarantined throughout the outbreak. This study is conducted in order to examine the repercussions of the prevalence of emotional, mental health, and social problems among children who have been quarantined in the home. In addition, appropriate mechanisms and interventions are considered to deal with these issues. This research is qualitative in nature. The relevant priory articles, guidelines, and informative official websites related to children's mental-health issues with the COVID-19 pandemic were also narratively reviewed and thematically organized. A systematic search was also conducted in various text documents, including primary sources of Islamic guidelines and principles for children's mental and emotional health, using content analysis to analyse the data. It is further recommended that a comprehensive approach be taken in dealing with the mental, social, and emotional health of children who were affected by this pandemic. To achieve this holistic approach, the proposed constructive plan and intervention must be formulated with due consideration for an Islamic point of view. In response to the current pandemic, it is hoped that a comprehensive and integrated approach to intervention would serve as an effective measure to ensure children's mental health throughout and after the pandemic.
ABSTRACT
Police officers play a crucial role in guaranteeing the safety of residents by protecting their lives. However, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, police officers were supposed to organize local shutdowns, promote social distance, and enforce stay-at-home orders. Hence, this research aims to explore potential sources of stress, and causes of conflict. The respondents are the police officers from Petaling Jaya District Police Headquarter. Data is collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS. Findings show that most police officers feel stressed since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with their workload.
ABSTRACT
Social mobility impacts indigenous people's employment, education, and danger of exclusion. Hence, this study investigate the impact of health, education, work possibilities, social capital, cultural capital, technological access, social security, and area-based factors on indigenous people's social mobility, which previous research has not explored. For data collection, face-to-face interviews are conducted using Google Meet due to COVID-19 Pandemic. The target groups of the study are Orang Asli from Sungai Raya Village. Findings show the importance of social mobility and how the Malaysian government initiative to help the Orang Asli is visible.

ABSTRACT
Productivity is an essential factor in a company. When being productive, workers can produce more output. Thus, the company's goals can be more easily achieved. Adopting 5S work culture can increase the chances of success in carrying out work by influencing a conducive work environment to increase productivity. PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions), a measure to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, was applied to many regions in Indonesia. Thus, it caused a contraction in economic growth in the second quarter of 2020. However, CV Perintis productivity increased by 0.18 or 18% during the pandemic. In this research, the implementation of 5S work culture at CV Perintis using a survey method in the form of self-assessment questionnaire form 5S from six CV Perintis tehcnicians to calculate the 5S program score before and after implementation. The implementation results showed that the 5S program score increased by 51.57%, from bad to very good.
