Recent Methods for Evaluating GNSS Receiver Accuracy and Reliability

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers are vital in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), serving as the foundation for accurate spatial data collection. These systems are integral to a wide range of applications, including urban planning, precision agriculture, infrastructure development, and environmental monitoring, all of which demand high positional accuracy for reliable decision-making. Achieving sub-meter accuracy is essential, as even small positional errors can have significant implications, such as misalignment in land parcel delineation or imprecise application of resources in precision agriculture (Lachapelle & El-Rabbany, 2021). GNSS receivers, however, vary in performance due to factors like environmental conditions,

Mengimbangi Peranan Universiti dan Industri dalam Pembangunan Teknologi

Universiti sering dianggap sebagai pusat inovasi dan pembangunan teknologi. Di sinilah teori-teori baru diasah, penyelidikan mendalam dijalankan, dan teknologi baru direka serta diuji. Dalam konteks ini, universiti sewajarnya memainkan peranan sebagai pelopor dalam pembangunan teknologi. Berbanding industri yang fokus kepada keuntungan, universiti berfungsi sebagai landasan untuk penyelidikan jangka panjang tanpa batasan komersial yang ketara. Oleh itu, ada asas untuk menyatakan bahawa universiti perlu lebih maju dari segi teknologi, kerana mereka membentuk dan meneroka konsep yang kemudiannya boleh digunakan oleh industri. Namun, realitinya tidak selalu begitu. Universiti kadang-kadang ketinggalan dalam teknologi praktikal yang digunakan oleh industri, disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti bajet yang terhad,

Universiti Sebagai Pelopor Teknologi dan Pusat Inovasi

Universiti adalah institusi yang dianggap sebagai benteng utama dalam pembangunan ilmu, teknologi, dan inovasi. Sejarah membuktikan bahawa universiti sering kali menjadi pelopor dalam bidangnya, mencipta teknologi baharu, dan menyediakan penyelesaian kepada pelbagai cabaran global. Namun, peranan ini kini dicabar oleh pelbagai faktor, terutamanya apabila universiti semakin bergantung kepada industri untuk sumber kewangan, teknologi, dan perkakasan. Sebaliknya, sepatutnya industri bergantung kepada universiti sebagai pusat kecemerlangan dan inovasi. Artikel ini akan mengupas pelbagai masalah ini serta membincangkan penyelesaian bagi mengembalikan universiti ke tempat yang selayaknya sebagai pusat rujukan utama. Pada asasnya, universiti mesti memainkan peranan sebagai pelopor dalam bidang akademik dan teknologi.

Cabaran Demografi Malaysia: Penurunan Populasi dan Kadar Bujang

Oleh Shahabuddin Amerudin Malaysia kini sedang menghadapi cabaran demografi yang semakin membimbangkan, iaitu penurunan kadar kelahiran dan peningkatan jumlah individu bujang. Menurut statistik terbaru, kadar kelahiran di Malaysia telah menurun dengan ketara sejak tahun 1980. Pada tahun tersebut, seorang wanita di Malaysia melahirkan purata lima orang anak, tetapi menjelang tahun 2022, angka ini telah menurun kepada hanya 1.6 anak per wanita (Department of Statistics Malaysia, 2023). Ini adalah kadar kelahiran yang jauh di bawah paras penggantian generasi, yang memerlukan purata 2-3 anak per wanita untuk mengekalkan jumlah populasi semasa. Dalam pada itu, data juga menunjukkan bahawa Malaysia berada di tangga
