2021 Day 169 Task – Checked Noise Safety Paper

Posted on June 19, 2021 ·

My main task today is to check and comment for improvement the draft of Noise Safety Paper. I really appreciate the effort by Shams and Eliya to work on the paper, as well as the main Master student, Ashyraf, who work on this project for 1 year 2 years ago. The paper is in good shape but I still need to make it better and add more quality in it.

Yes, this is also part of my study since I am also touching Master safety course area a little bit. My previous Master Safety student, Ainul managed to published a noise safety paper in Safety Science (shown above) and that made me grateful and proud at the same time since it was not initially my forte area, but yeahhh we managed to published in there. So, lets try it again.. InsyaAllah.

2021 Day 168 Task – Code Book Development Consortium Meeting

Posted on June 18, 2021 ·

Just after Subuh, I received a Whatsapp message about a meeting that will be held at 9am on a Friday which is our weekend break. The meeting was about discussions on document analysis and codebook development, which is for the High Consortium Ministry project involving UTM – UPM and UTHM. It was in this meeting that the Concept Map (CMap) was re-introduced to me again. I began to develop the interest of this CMap thingy, that is by using CMap Tool – Can be downloaded free ~ and if you kind enough, there’s a donation button of $10, which you can contribute to them.

Before this, somewhere end of last year, we already had a webminar about CMap, but that time I was a bit distracted and could not focus because doing other activities at that time.

2021 Day 161 Task – Checking My EER PhD Student’s Proposal

Posted on June 11, 2021 ·

I spent my Friday morning and afternoon checking and providing comments on my PhD EER Student who is very far far away at UAE or Sudan or United States (yes, he lives in all those places and travel a lot in between those locations). Prior to reading the report and progress, I also read several more completed PhD EER projects by previous CEE students. It’s quite different from the normal chemical engineering research… I can say it is more directed to the social sciences approach. But, I finally written down my comments and passed it to the Co-SVs.

Other highlighted tasks of the day:

  • Discussed about BCREC paper Chapter 4 – Nazlina, already pending due to submit correction.
  • Went through some EXCEL reports from my PA students – verified and approved their activities.
