Assignmenr for pp2 final account
Based on the information provided:
- The Contractor had priced RM 130,000 for Contractor All Risk Insurance (CARI) in the preliminaries bill.
- However, the Contractor failed to purchase the CARI when works commenced.
- The Employer then purchased the CARI for RM 180,000 on behalf of the Contractor.
As the Contractor failed to purchase the mandatory CARI as required by the contract, the Employer is entitled to recover the actual cost paid for the insurance from the Contractor.
Hence, there will be a variation of RM 180,000 - RM 130,000 = RM 50,000 that will be deducted from the Contractor's final
Light Transmitting concrete
This document summarizes the key aspects of translucent concrete, also known as light transmitting concrete or LitraCon. It was first developed in 2003 by Hungarian architect Aron Losonzi. The concrete becomes translucent through the uniform distribution of thin optical fibers throughout the material. As light passes through the fibers, it is transmitted across the concrete through the process of total internal reflection. The manufacturing process involves casting thousands of parallel optical fibers directly into the concrete mixture. This allows light to pass through the material while maintaining its compressive strength. Some applications of translucent concrete include illuminated sidewalks, building walls, and stairwells.

HOPE this presentation will help you to understand the concept of sustainable buildings and how can a recycled material used in building construction.
Light transmitting concrete
Light transmitting concrete, also known as translucent concrete, is a concrete-based building material that transmits light through the uniform distribution of optical fibers throughout its body. It works on the principle of total internal reflection within the fibers to transmit light over long distances with minimal loss. Potential applications of light transmitting concrete include use in floors, ceilings, walls, and pavements to illuminate buildings while retaining compressive strength comparable to ordinary concrete.
Light Transmitting Concrete or Transparent Concrete
Light transmitting concrete is a novel building material made of cement, mortar, and optical fibers. Optical fibers are drilled through the cement and mortar to guide light and utilize sunlight as a light source to reduce power consumption for illumination. The optical fibers compose only 4% of the concrete but transmit some light parallel to the concrete surfaces. Prefabricated light transmitting concrete blocks and panels are available and can be used for load-bearing structures since the optical fibers do not negatively impact concrete strength. The optical fibers act like slits, carrying light across the concrete using the principle of total internal reflection.

Conference paper-11-9-2017
This document summarizes a research study on the use of value management in the Bruneian construction industry. The study aimed to identify problems and solutions to implementing value management, as well as understand design teams' perceptions of it. A questionnaire survey was distributed to 233 professionals, with 72 responses received. The results showed that a lack of local value management guidelines and standards was identified as the main reason it is not widely used. Adequate training was seen as the most significant solution. Most respondents felt that value management is not encouraged enough and its application is uncertain. This suggests developing value management should be a priority.

This document presents a feasibility study for a proposed mixed residential and commercial development in Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia. It analyzes the development under a "sell-then-build" concept, finding it generates a positive net present value of RM8.5 million, indicating viability. However, analyzing the project under a "build-then-sell" concept finds it would result in significant negative cash flow, requiring additional financing and increasing costs such that the developer's profit would decrease from 43% to 34.5%, rendering the project unviable. The use of a build-then-sell model is therefore not recommended for this development.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoring
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming Pipelines
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECT
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
