The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can have mental and physical health benefits over time by helping people feel more relaxed and focused.
This document discusses a student's cognitive mapping project of Petaling Jaya Section 3 (PJS3). It analyzes PJS3 based on Kelvin Lynch's 5 elements of cognitive mapping - paths, nodes, edges, districts, and landmarks. The primary paths that form strong boundaries for PJS3 are Jalan Othman, Jalan Templer, and Jalan Selangor. Prominent landmarks include a stadium and mosque. Nodes with high concentration of people include the stadium, narrow tertiary paths beneficial to residents, and two adjacent educational buildings.
This document provides details for Project 2 of the Building Science 2 course, which involves analyzing lighting and acoustics for the Sentul West Community Library design project. Floor plans and sections of the library are presented. Daylight factor calculations are provided for the children's reading area and multifunction hall, showing adequate natural illumination. Artificial lighting calculations using the lumen method determine the number and layout of luminaires needed in the multifunction hall and digital lab to achieve the recommended lighting levels. Reverberation time and external noise calculations are also included to assess the acoustic performance of specific spaces.
Kelvin Ng and Stanley lost 80% of their photos from a field trip when their phones fell in water. Kelvin describes the remaining 20% of photos and data collected by Shirley and Goh. The destination for the field trip was Riverstone Resort. At the resort, Ms. Dee briefed them and advised them to take many photos. Ms. Amira then helped them explore the area to find a suitable site for their research. Kelvin chose a site with two trees growing close together near the river, where there was variety of plants and a colony of red ants. At the site, Kelvin and his team studied the characteristics of fire ants and an old rubber tree, and analyzed population data to create an inf
Kelvin Ng wrote a document analyzing why younger generations feel they have insufficient time. He identifies several factors that reduce leisure time, including weak time management skills, family responsibilities, peer pressure, and unhealthy habits like excessive social media and game usage. Economic pressures and parents' high expectations also influence how students spend their time. Ng concludes that establishing a schedule and balancing responsibilities, social life, and academics is important for managing time effectively.

This document is a student project analyzing the urban planning of Seksyen 4 using several cognitive mapping theories. It uses Kevin Lynch's five elements of paths, edges, districts, landmarks, and nodes to analyze the layout and navigation of Seksyen 4. It finds the area has clearly defined primary paths but one less clear edge. Distinct districts are formed by housing types. The biggest landmark is the Pasar Besar market. The analysis also considers the HOPSCA concept and finds Seksyen 4 meets most needs but lacks offices and hotels. In conclusion, Seksyen 4 has good overall planning but could be improved by adding work opportunities.
The TR-Yo Team from Terengganu participated in the 2016 Malaysia Yo-Yo Championship with 16 members. The team achieved great success, winning 50% of the total scores and numerous division titles. Chew Zi Hao stood out, winning the overall Champion of Champions title. Other top achievements included Lau Loong Jie winning the 3A division, Tan Shuan Zhi and Lee Jia Xin placing highly in the Women's division, and Low Jia Wei finishing first runner up in the Under 17 division. The team helped promote yo-yo in Malaysia and gave youth the opportunity to learn and compete in the unique sport.
This document discusses bioclimatic design and its application at Sekeping Serendah, a retreat located in a forest in Rawang, Selangor, Malaysia. It defines bioclimatic design as architecture that takes the local climate and environment into account to create optimal thermal and visual comfort while minimizing energy usage. The document outlines various bioclimatic design principles and techniques, and analyzes how Sekeping Serendah's design incorporates local materials, passive ventilation, shading, and orientation to harmoniously integrate the buildings into the forest landscape while maintaining human comfort.
The document contains load distribution diagrams and structural drawings for a two-storey bungalow in Kuala Terengganu. It includes architectural plans showing the layout of the ground floor, first floor, and roof. Structural drawings show the proposed layout of columns, beams, slabs and foundations. Load distribution diagrams indicate the expected dead and live loads to be supported by different structural members. The analysis was conducted to design the structure and ensure it can safely support the anticipated loads.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The document outlines plans for a proposed future sustainable eco-city in Malaysia called SMCity. It will focus on limiting environmental impact through public transportation, renewable energy, and waste reduction. The city aims to be walkable and place parks within two minutes of every home. SMCity will also have its own power plant using renewable resources and promote social integration through community design. The proposal discusses zoning areas, transportation hubs, and creating a modular grid framework to allow flexibility and expansion for the future eco-friendly city.

1) The document describes a student's individual project studying the population and size of organisms at a field site.
2) The student conducted experiments counting and measuring different plants and animals, and used marking and recapturing techniques to estimate ant populations.
3) Graphs of the results showed relationships between population sizes and organism sizes, with populations being inversely related to sizes.
1. The document outlines the meetings of a group called "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from April 4th to May 3rd as they planned a music performance for a CTS class.
2. At their initial meeting on April 4th, they assigned roles and decided to meet at Starbucks on April 5th to discuss their group name and song selection.
3. They met several more times to practice their performances, incorporate props and instruments, and receive feedback from seniors, culminating in their final performance on May 3rd.
