Guided by two research objectives (RO1: to explore lecturers' awareness and perceptions of CTF competitions; RO2: to assess the benefits and challenges of using CTFs in teaching), a mixed-methods approach was used. Quantitative data came from structured surveys, while qualitative insights were gathered through open-ended responses. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to interpret the findings. Results show that most lecturers are familiar with CTFs and support their use in academic programs. Key benefits include improved technical skills, better problem-solving abilities, and higher student engagement. However, limited time, budget, and infrastructure challenges were also identified. Thematic analysis revealed skill development as the most valued benefit, followed by teamwork, gamification, and curriculum fit. This research adds to the literature on cybersecurity education by offering evidence from Malaysia’s TVET context. It provides recommendations for curriculum designers and policymakers to support CTF adoption. Future studies may examine student perspectives and long-term learning impacts.

type: item
description: This study aims to develop compressed compost blocks as a sustainable planting medium using pineapple leaf waste and soil incorporated with water-retaining hydrogel to facilitate efficient re-expansion upon watering. With a projection of 68% of the world's population living in cities by 2050, this study is very significant in the development of environmentally friendly urban agriculture. Where every year, Malaysia produces more than two million tons of pineapple leaf waste, most of which are burned or simply thrown away. However, studies on the use of pineapple leaves as a compressed planting medium with hydrogel are still very few and limited. The objective of this study is to produce a compressed planting medium with a mixture of soil, pineapple leaves and hydrogel that can re-expand well when exposed to water. Testing was carried out to determine the water infiltration rate and re-expansion of the planting medium, pH value and seed growth rate. Experimental results demonstrate that 500 grams planting medium block containing 5 grams of hydrogel exhibited faster and more uniform expansion when exposed to water. While the mixture with 10 and 15 grams of hydrogel expanded 35 to 52% more than the mixture with 5 grams of hydrogel. The pH value reading showed that between 6.2 to 6.8 is suitable in supporting the growth of seedlings. This study fills the research gap in the management of pineapple leaf waste. This makes it an eco-friendly growing medium as an innovative planting medium for modern agriculture applications.

A Comparative Analysis of Conventional and Meshless Methods for the Design Verification of a Water Injection Bullhead Pump Offshore Skid
type: item
description: The structural integrity of portable offshore units is critical for ensuring safety and operational reliability in harsh marine environments. Stringent design verification according to standards like DNVGL-ST-E273 is therefore mandatory. While traditional verification methods are well-established, their inherent conservatism may lead to over-engineering. This paper presents a comparative structural verification of a water injection bullhead pump skid using two distinct approaches: a conventional spreadsheet-based calculation based on the OffCon DNV 2006 tool and a modern meshless analysis conducted with Altair Simsolid. The analysis was performed in accordance with the DNVGL-ST-E273 standard. Both methodologies successfully confirmed that the skid's structural design, including padeye strength and overall frame deflection, meets all required safety criteria. However, the results revealed a significant variance in conservatism; the traditional spreadsheet method yielded stress and deflection predictions that were approximately 25% more conservative than those from the high-fidelity meshless analysis. The findings validate the skid's fitness for service while also demonstrating that advanced meshless methods can provide a more precise and less conservative assessment than traditional techniques. This suggests a significant potential for optimizing future designs by reducing material usage and weight without compromising safety, highlighting the evolving role of high-fidelity simulation in modern engineering.
