    Humans' and the world's lifestyles have changed dramatically through time as a result of technological advancements. Communication technology has advanced swiftly in the contemporary age, making a significant contribution to human existence. Smartphones are one of the most useful technologies. Mobile apps arose as a result of the evolution of regular phones into smartphones. Mobile applications with various functions give varying levels of aid to human existence. This study aims to give self-medicating patients a guideline and correct content information of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Subsequently, it is to develop a mobile application for the medication (E-MEDIC app). Furthermore, it is to ease and save users' time searching for medicines content. The third objective is to evaluate the user's acceptance of the medication mobile application (E-MEDIC app). The qualitative methodologies utilised for the E-MEDIC mobile app included locating two specialists to conduct an Alpha Test to obtain their thoughts and selecting twelve respondents with relevant experience to serve as testers. The experiment includes several areas of the application's functioning, usability, and interface design. All respondents and experts agreed that the E-MEDIC mobile app's functionality, usefulness, and usability are excellent. The E-MEDIC smartphone app, which is based on this initiative, can provide accurate information and content specifics on over-the-counter (OTC) medications to self-medicating patients. If properly implemented in pharmacies, OTC medications, and public health, the E-MEDIC smartphone app offers several benefits. The results from this study are promising.

    Perpendicular High Isolation MIMO Antenna
    This research presented a perpendicular high isolation MIMO antenna for LTE advance application. A high gain perpendicular MIMO antenna is concentrated on designing used in LTE advance application. The issues of low isolation of conventional antenna can be solved by structuring a MIMO antenna in order to increase the isolation in LTE advance application. Generally, the array antenna design causes a bigger antenna size and has a mutual coupling which lead to spectral efficiency damage and reduce the MIMO antenna framework performance. The substrate material like FR-4 is choosing as a dielectric substrate due to its good performances for many applications beside it has a low cost and more usable. The advantage of copper such as has a great relative material, cheaper and easy to construct is choose in this project as a conductive material. ADS software has been utilized for the structure stage to design the antenna. Then, the results are evaluated in terms of return loss (S11 and S22), mutual coupling (S12 and S21), match impedance, directivity, radiation pattern, gain and radiated power. Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is used to measure the fabricated antenna. The factor of cable loses and the soldering technique will make the measurement result was slightly change from the simulating result. However, the antenna design satisfied the proficiency necessity of the antenna which the frequency is drop at 2.5 GHz with the return loss is below than −10 dB.

    Simulated Triple Circular Split-Ring Resonator Metamaterial Unit Cell for THz application
    Metamaterial used widely nowadays to overcome the limitation of the natural material in manipulating the electromagnetic wave and radiation. Split-Ring Resonator (SRR) have been used widely as a design to manipulate the electromagnetic waves but none of them used for higher frequency such as light frequency. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to design SRR unit cell that is capable to bend the light wave. The negative value of material properties obtained from the simulation of the metamaterial at three different part which are at phase=0, real value and imaginary value. CST Microwave Studio 2018 used as a simulation software. The results show all the negative value of material properties obtained at different frequency range. However, the negative value of material properties at phase=0 and imaginary part is obtained at same frequency range. While for real part, the negative value for all material properties occurred at different frequency range. This SRR design is suitable to manipulate the lights radiation waves.

    Niblack algorithm modification using maximum-minimum (Max-min) intensity approaches on low contrast document images
    In recent decades, detection or segmentation has been one of the major interesting research subjects due to the analysis of the information. However, most of the historical document has degraded and low contrast problem. Recently, many binarization methods were proposed in order to segment the text region from the background region in the low-quality image. In this paper, an improved binarization method was inspired by Niblack method was presented. The modification focuses to find the optimum threshold value by using the Maximum-Minimum intensity technique. The main target is to reduce the unwanted detection image and increase the resultant performance compared to the original Niblack method. The proposed method was applied to the document images from H-DIBCO 2012 and H-DIBCO 2014 dataset. The results of the numerical simulation indicate that the target was achieved by the F-Measure by F-measure (58.706), PSNR (10.778) and Accuracy (86.876). This finding will give a new benchmark to other researchers to propose an advance binarization method.

    Water quality monitoring system using Raspberry Pi
    Water monitoring system is a system than monitor the condition of water. This system monitors the water on several condition. The condition monitored by this system is turbidity value, total dissolved solid value and pH value. For turbidity, the higher the reading from the sensor, the higher the turbidity of the water. For pH value, if the value of the reading is more than 7, the water is in alkaline condition. If the value of reading is less than 7, the water is in acidic condition. In this project, this system is using Raspberry Pi 3 model B+ as its main controller. Several sensors are used such as turbidity sensor, total dissolved solid sensor and pH sensor. The reading from the sensor is then send to Raspberry Pi and the sensor value is send to the other devices through built-in Wi-Fi of Raspberry Pi.

    According to a 2010 study, cervical cancer affects women all over the world and is the fourth most common disease among women after lung, colorectal, and breast cancer. Numerous studies are being conducted to improve pre-cancer screening methods. It is challenging for doctors to collect correct data due to inconsistent and unsystematic analysis techniques. Making a determination just from eye inspection is challenging. It is probably erroneous based on the sample of microscopic images studied. This is because to the blurring, noise, shadow, lighting, and artefact issues that can damage a microscopic image. This study has modified Bradley’s binarization method in order to improvise nucleus detection on pap smear image. The modification method has performance that overcome other methods which is Bernsen, Bradley, Feng, Niblack, Nick, Otsu, Sauvola and Wolf. The analysis indicate modification method has value 75.03% on Fmeasure, 92.78% on accuracy, 13.61 on PSNR and 0.086 on NRM. This study helps the modification method inspired by Bradley shows an improvement in segmenting nucleus region.
