Combating Household Bankruptcy: Developing a New Integrated Financial Education Model for Malaysian (S/O 13585) by Sawandi, Norfaiezah, Abu Bakar, Abu Sufian, Shaari, Hasnah, Amran, Noor Afza, Saad, Ram Al Jaffri

“…The incidents of bankruptcy amongst Malaysian can contribute to a financially distress situation amongst those involved which in the long term may affect, to a great extent, the economic stability particularly at the micro level. While there have been efforts undertaken by the government agencies and non-governmental organisation (NGOs) to curb these problems, recent evidence indicates that urgent action are needed to address the problems in the long term in which financial education has been seen as one of the vital means in order to equip people with appropriate financial knowledge that can help them to develop good financial/debt management. …”

Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…In this thesis, I propose a conformable ultrasound breast patch (cUSBr-Patch) consisting of a one-dimensional (1D) phased array and a nature-inspired patch design, which offers large-area, deep tissue scanning and multi-angle, repeatable breast imaging while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional ultrasound imaging technologies. I used a Yb/Bi-doped PIN-PMN-PT single crystal as the active element due to its superior piezoelectric properties (d33 = 2,800 pC/N, εr = 7,000, k33 = 0.93). …”
