Abstract:
Sarawak is the largest country in the Malaysian Federation, having a rich and colorful cultural heritage from the diversity of customs and traditions of its multi-ethnic population. Culture is a comprehensive value system consisting of various material and immaterial aspects. Culture needs to be documented to maintain the nation's cultural heritage so that it is not forgotten or lost. Even though they have achieved independence and lives in modernization, the clash between various forms of traditional culture and the new cultural values persists. However, the traditional cultural values must be preserved as the nation's cultural heritage.

Abstract:
In this brief report, we describe four plant species that Iban weavers use for dyes and six ingredients that they use in mordants. From September to November 2009, we interviewed four weavers and observed additional persons collecting and processing dye plants in three Iban villages whose names are Rumah Engkang, Rumah Ejon, and Rumah Nyawai. We also collected twenty-four plant vouchers which are deposited in the Sarawak Herbarium in the Forest Research Centre of Sarawak. The means by which Iban acquire dye materials varies by community and by individual weaver within each community. Generally, however, Iban collect plants when they are abundant in forests and easy to access and cultivate or, alternatively, they purchase plants that are scarce in the wild. Women use the yarns that they dye with plants to weave cloths.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to contribute to the border area in order to improve the economy, as one of the pillars of national security. This research was conducted in Bengkayang which is one of the regency areas in West Kalimantan. It is directly adjacent to Sarawak, Malaysia. The method used in this study is a qualitative method by carrying out focus group discussions. The material used is about financial literacy and financial behavior as one of the efforts that can be done to improve the economic resilience of a region. The target of this study is housewives, because housewives are important figures in managing family finances. The added value highlighted in this study is the existence of aspects of spirituality that are adapted to the beliefs held by the group studied and synergized in the provision of material, namely the value of amare culture. The results of this study were found to be a phenomenon that although in border areas, the community had received financial literacy education, however it did not get a good response, a lack of implementation of financial literacy had an impact on negative financial behavior patterns, when knowing that financial literacy can be used as a means of manifesting the faith adopted by enthusiastic housewives and giving a positive response.

Abstract:
This research is backed by the condition of the community located in the border area of Indonesia-Malaysia especially in Entikong subdistrict of Sanggau Regency. As the frontier area of social and cultural life of community education in this region has always been a concern especially in conjunction with Malaysian Sarawak. The inhabitants of this region generally embraced Catholicism and Catholic missionaries establishing schools of KINDERGARTEN to high school which are equipped with dormitories. The problem in this study is how the Catholic religious education influences the dialectics of Dayak culture in the region. Data taken using qualitative method is by observation, interviews and living with the community there. The study was held in July-September 2018. The results concluded that the education developed by Catholic missionaries has an effect on the dialectics of Dayak culture in this area. Besides education, other factors also affect the history, politics, and daily life at the border. Another conclusion is that the Catholic missionary (the work of the education that has been developed) has an effect on the identity of Dayak culture in this region, Dayaks are more confident. This could be so because Catholic missionaries appreciate Dayak culture. It is clear that the education developed by the Catholic religion plays a role in the formation of basic and primary materials for the formation of Dayak cultural dialectics in Entikong and other border areas in West Kalimantan.

Abstract:
Introduction: Infectious keratitis is caused by inflammation of the cornea from an infectious pathogen that usually results in corneal scarring. It is a major cause of visual impairment globally. The management of infectious keratitis is challenging, and unfortunately, there is no proper study on this issue in the central zone of Sarawak to date. Purpose: To identify the demographic characteristics, risk factors, and etiological agents of patients with infectious keratitis in Sibu Hospital, Sarawak, Malaysia. Design of the study: Retrospective study. Materials and methods: Data were collected and reviewed from medical records of all patients with infectious keratitis in Sibu Hospital from January 2013 up to May 2018. Results: A total of 139 patients (143 eyes/cases) were included in the study. The average age of affected individuals was 47.39 years. The most frequently affected patients fell within the age group of 21-30 years (18.9%). The male-to-female ratio was 1.65:1, with 61.5% of patients being males and 38.5% being females. Seventy-four cases were noted to have predisposing factors before the manifestation of symptoms. The commonest predisposing factors were ocular trauma (55.4%), followed by contact lens wear (29.7%), recent ocular surgery (13.5%), and a recent history of swimming (7.4%). At least one pathogen was isolated in 63.1% of the 38 cases that were tested for corneal scraping culture and sensitivity. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified as the most common causative pathogen in our study. Conclusion: Ocular injury stood out as the most common risk factor for infectious keratitis in this study and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common etiological pathogen. A good grasp of local epidemiology and microbial profile of infectious keratitis is essential in aiding and guiding the management of infectious keratitis in hopes of better outcomes for all affected patients.

Abstract:
The traditional Baruk in Sarawak has gone through some architectural changes in terms of its material and function due to the urban modernization and safety concern. Therefore, the research aims to construct the Three-Dimensional (3D) model of the building using digital close-range photogrammetry. The exploratory study can be categorized into four phases consist of Site Selection; Data Acquisition; Data Processing; and 3D Modelling. The 3D model generated from the photogrammetry software presents the result of the dense point clouds. The study could give fundamental guidelines on using a mobile device in digital close-range photogrammetry techniques.

Full text
Abstract:
The last few decades have seen the rise of a worldwide ‘culture phenomenon’, in which the concept of ‘culture’ has become a ubiquitous means of asserting collective distinctiveness and difference. This tendency has been especially pronounced in postcolonial states and among ethnic minority groups; and my research focuses on its manifestations among the Bidayuh, an indigenous group of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. My dissertation asks what it means to ‘be Bidayuh’ and ‘have Bidayuh culture’ as part of an explicitly ‘multicultural’ Malaysian state, in which access to education, jobs and other political and economic resources is determined along official ethnic lines. Anthropologists have generally treated such formations of cultural consciousness with suspicion, viewing their products as reified, essentialised and objectified versions of socio-cultural reality. The cultural claimants in these studies are often portrayed as either politically-aware manipulators of statist models and categories, or ‘ordinary’ people quite unaware of their ‘invented’ nature. The villagers among whom I conducted fieldwork, however, fit neither category: they are aware of the relative newness of official ‘culture’ concepts, but do not treat them as merely political resources. On one level, my dissertation thus seeks to fill an ethnographic gap by assessing how ‘Bidayuh-ness’ is constituted by the inhabitants of a self-consciously ‘modern’ village on the outskirts of the capital. It argues that to fully understand Bidayuh concepts of ‘culture’, we must engage with preoccupations, causal mechanisms and ontological assumptions which are of salience to Bidayuhs themselves. On another level, this thesis comments reflexively on the way anthropologists have dealt with the (apparent) objectifications of their informants, especially with regard to the concept of ‘culture’.

Abstract:
University of Technology, Sydney. Institute of International Studies.
Within Borneo, the indigenous Iban pua kumbu cloth, historically associated with headhunting, is steeped in spirituality and mythology. The cloth, the female counterpart of headhunting, was known as women’s war (Linggi, 1999). The process of mordanting yarns in preparation for tying and dyeing was seen as a way of managing the spiritual realm (Heppell, Melak, & Usen, 2006). It required of the ‘women warriors’ psychological courage equivalent to the men when decapitating enemies. Headhunting is no longer a relevant cultural practice. However, the cloth that incited headhunting continues to be invested with significance in the modern world, albeit in the absence of its association with headhunting. This thesis uses the pua kumbu as a lens through which to explore the changing dynamics of social and economic life with regard to men’s and women’s roles in society, issues of identity and nationalism, people’s relationship to their environment and the changing meanings and roles of the textiles themselves with global market forces. By addressing these issues I aim to capture the fluid expressions of new social dynamics using a pua kumbu in a very different way from previous studies. Using the scholarship grounded in art and material culture studies, and with particular reference to theories of ‘articulation’ (Clifford, 2001), ‘circulation’ (Graburn & Glass, 2004) and ‘art and agency’ (Gell, 1998; MacClancy, 1997a), I analyse how the Dayak Iban use the pua kumbu textile to renegotiate their periphery position within the nation of Malaysia (and within the bumiputera indigenous group) and to access more enabling social and economic opportunities. I also draw on the theoretical framework of ‘friction’ and ‘contact zones’ as outlined by Tsing (2005), Karp (2006) and Clifford (1997) to contextualize my discussion of the of the exhibition and representation of pua kumbu in museums. Each of these theoretical frameworks is applied to my data to situate and illustrate my arguments. Whereas in the past, it was the culture that required the object be made, now the object is made to do cultural work. The cloth, instead of revealing hidden symbols and meanings in its motifs, is now made to carry the culture, having itself become a symbol or marker for Iban people. Using an exploration of material culture to understand the complex, dynamic and flowing nature of the relationship between objects and the identities of the producers and consumer is the key contribution of this thesis.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the role that information and communications technology can play in advancing rural development for indigenous communities in BRICS and emerging economies. Using the Thunen model as a theoretical framework, this chapter begins by highlighting the twin challenges that indigenous communities face in balancing outside influences with the consolidation of traditional organizational structure and culture and a limited set of economic activities due to the disadvantage of economic distance. Three in-depth case studies in Tanzania and Sarawak, Malaysia, are carefully analysed to show how, with the appropriate institutional support, carefully executed information and communications technology projects have the potential to alter the vector of economic distance for remote indigenous communities thereby both strengthening and expanding the set of economic activities undertaken.

Abstract:
Occupational safety and health (OSH) issues have become a major concern to many corporations in Malaysia since the enactment of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994. While safety management system has been researched, only limited literatures have given attention to warehousing. The development of effective partnerships between customers and vendors to identify opportunities for enhancing safety management system. Employee safety behaviour in the workplace is crucial in approaching towards safety compliance and safety performance indicators. The main objective was to test the safety behaviour of the workers. Data were collected throughout the warehousing processes of a multinational electronics manufacturer in Malaysia. A questionnaire has been filled-up by the warehousing employees. This study proposes the theory of planned behaviour were to explain the linkage between customer - vendor partnership and safety behaviour. Respondents were questioned partnership with its customers to systematically improve safety behaviour. Usually most of the occupational accident or disease took place in the material handling operations and activities with cargo interface. The findings of this study show that customer-vendor partnership has a significant and positive relationship on safety behaviour. This approach to be examined for improved safety ownership and the possibility that enhancements would become an essential part of the vendor's processes, systems, and culture. This customer-vendor partnership approach will develop safety improvements for next heights of success. SPSS was applied for processing the data. It was found that information dissemination and collaboration with the client are important. Employees should participate in the safety program as required by the clients so as to obtain the merits of high performance workforce.

Abstract:
Following the rapid development of open distance education and the enrichment of online resources and Learning Management Systems in Asia, the quality of interactions amongst learners and online content, teacher and peers has become one of the imperative factors in determining the efficacy of web-based teaching-learning. Online learning is distinctive as compared to face-to-face interaction in terms of how the course material is presented, the nature of interactions, and overall learning experience. This case study explores the understanding, expectation and experience of learners from China and Malaysia based on vital aspects of learning in the web-based environment such as the concept of teaching and learning, the role of the teacher, communication patterns in the virtual classroom, relationships with the teacher and the classmates, and attitudes towards learning achievement. These are reflected in the learning patterns and behavior of online learners as observed in their interaction with the web-based content and participation in the online forum discussions within the online Learning Management Systems. In addition, this case highlights the influence of national culture towards learners’ interaction as displayed in their online learning activities.

Abstract:
Abstract The current global low oil price environment has driven many operators to consider having a quicker and more efficient operations and reduction of the well construction cost. Recently in Field A which was located in offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, four monobore completion wells were successfully batch drilled and cemented offline through ingenious planning. This involves skidding of rig floor away from the well to allow access for the cementing operations to be performed underneath the rig floor simultaneously while drilling operations are allowed to resume above it. This paper will discuss about the offline activities performed, well barriers classification and the offline cementing techniques including the cementing design slurries employed from the top hole section until the final tubing section cementing. Offline activities were able to be performed before and after the rig skidding package is moved from one slot to another, thus reducing the overall project time. These activities included but were not limited to offline cementing, wellhead installation and tubular rack back on the derrick. Once the conductor was cleaned to the shoe, casing was run and the rig will skid to the next conductor slot and offline cementing adapters were installed on the wellhead. As the rig continues with the drilling operations, cementing operations will be performed offline below the rig floor. For the conductor section, 3 conduits were run and cemented simultaneously within a conductor offline. For the next section, the intermediate hole was drilled to its section TD, casing was run to bottom and cement head was installed offline after the rig skidded to next well. The next operation which included mud circulation and casing cementing was also performed offline. These same operational steps were repeated for all wells including the offline tubing cementing operations. The cement slurries were designed as per well requirement which was a conventional Class-G cement slurry design for the conductor and the intermediate section. LCM material and sealing spacer were prepared onboard to mitigate any potential losses which could happen during drilling or cementing operations. For the tubing cementing section, self-healing cement system was introduced to ensure well integrity and zonal isolation is guaranteed for the life of the well. All four wells were drilled and completed within 34 days, resulting in a time saving of 30 hours just for cementing operations; which was 23 % of cumulative time savings. This drilling and cementing approach will be a footprint to the operator for all future development wells.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper demonstrates another success story on delivering a new Best-In-Class Tendered Assisted Drilling (TAD) Wellhead Platform. A clear target/goal to achieve project value driver, ie. reduce CAPEX and accelerate project maturation speed. With demonstration of good front-end development work and project delivery strategies set from the beginning of the project, a series of strategic approach to deliver competitive scoping and requirement with the intent of achieving cost saving and minimize fabrication duration by meeting targeted weight reduction for both Topside and Substructures. The ultimate purpose of all these strategic approaches is to develop a set of standard template design and efficient project execution strategy for new TAD Wellhead platform that is replicable in Shell. Civil, Structural and Offshore Engineering discipline in Shell has leveraging past project good practices, lesson learnt and benchmarking against internal and external project to develop a fit-for-purpose design. Initial findings from the benchmarking study indicated at water depth of 143m in Sarawak water, jackets are launch-installed, typically. The continuous improvement exercises aimed to reduce both Topsides and Substructure weight, which eventually creates opportunity for jacket to convert from launch-installed in the initially concept to lift-installed jacket. Some of key successes from this improvement journey includes topside deck level/footprint optimization, optimized topside structural framing and deck leg spacing to have a small work-points from top, elimination of jacket dummy leg thus reduce overall jacket footprint/weight, lean foundation design, e.g. 1 skirt pile per leg etc. However, the key challenge to the lift-installed jacket concept at the water region of 140m remains at jacket lift weight that is limited by the typical heavy lift vessel crane capacity and it requires a stringent weather window limit. Hence, weight management, i.e. set NTE weight on the jacket lift weight is paramount and it needs to be managed from engineering phase all the way to offshore installation. The outcome of the continuous improvement journey showed tremendous satisfying result to save project cost and schedule. With massive reduction of jacket weight (>50%) thus it reduces fabrication schedule, and unlocks provision of yard flexibility that invites more competitive bidding from EPC contractors (especially small fabricator) thus potentially reduce overall EPC cost. The significant improvement in steel quantity reducing overall jacket steel material procurement cost and fabrication cost. Elimination of jacket loadout via skidding facility (for launch type jacket) that further reduces fabrication cost. This is the first lift-installed jacket in Shell Malaysia at this water region. Leveraging on project knowledge and learning, specific technical specifications for L2 TAD Wellhead Platform design and installation aids have been developed in shell, with the intent to standardize and simplify technical requirements.
