Program Your Language My Culture (YLMC) merupakan usaha untuk mengangkat kandungan budaya dan warisan Terengganu melalui pengajaran dan pembelajaran Bahasa Inggeris untuk anak-anak Terengganu. Dalam konteks ini, pembelajaran bahasa Inggeris diterapkan melalui budaya ke arah usaha mengekalkan identiti. Hasil dapatan kajian fasa pertama projek YLMC (2016-2018) telah merumuskan penggunaan bahan tempatan untuk meningkatkan pembelajaran bahasa Inggeris mencetuskan minat pelajar untuk mempelajari bahasa Inggeris menggunakan topik yang berasal dari budaya Terengganu. Pelajar teruja kerana topik membantu memotivasi mereka untuk berkongsi pengetahuan mereka dengan rakan-rakan dan guru mereka. Penglibatan pelajar membawa kepada lebih banyak komunikasi dan perbincangan serta suasana bilik darjah yang lebih interaktif. Fasa kedua (2019) memfokuskan kepada menghasilkan bahan pembelajaran dan pengajaran Bahasa Inggeris peringkat menengah atas berasaskan projek menggunakan YLMC Culture Matrix. Projek YLMC telah membangunkan satu perspektif tempatan di samping mengenali perspektif Barat yang terkandung secara tersirat dalam bahan bacaan berbahasa Inggeris. Fasa ini akan mengkaji keterampilan bahasa dan budaya melalui pendekatan pembelajaran dan pengajaran (PdP) projek serta menghasilkan satu gambaran keseluruhan pengintegrasian bahasa dan budaya dalam kehidupan seharian. Program pembelajaran bertunjangkan budaya tempatan seperti ini dilihat boleh disesuaikan mengikut budaya di negeri-negeri lain sebagai strategi menarik minat pelajar untuk mempertingkatkan penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris.

The “Daie script2screen” module was developed through an Industry Research Grant (INDUSTRI-2013-013) as a reference base for script writers in producing scripts that are in line with shariah-compliant elements. This module book “Daie script2screen” has been registered as intellectual property at the Collaborative Innovation Center (PIK)- File No. UKM1KB/108/2/1086. Therefore, this study is a continuation of the study to examine the effectiveness of workshops that use the module “Daie script2screen”. As a result of the workshop that will be conducted, the dakwah short film script produced can be raised as a script that can be commercialized to television stations in Malaysia. Kuiscell as a collaborator of this study is also directly involved in contributing expertise in developing the script until it is published. The script produced will go through a process of ‘shooting’ and ‘editing’ with the professional cooperation of the production crew of Kuiscell Sdn. Bhd. The results of this research can produce four dakwah short films for the month of Ramadhan 2017. Four slots of the screening series will be commercialized to al-Hijrah TV station to be broadcast during the month of Ramadhan. This short film product can also be commercialized on the online TV station Al-Hikmah TV (http://www.alhikmahtv.com/)

Thus, the field of creative content (creative content) including the development of shariah -compliant scripts is seen as a new field of research that can be explored. Looking at the marketability of dakwah short films that have been promoting shariah-compliant works lately shows that the community and the creative industry in Malaysia have accepted this reform. Thus, the need for a commercial research is very necessary in developing a true shariah-compliant work as an innovation to the world of creative industries in Malaysia. Therefore, it is time for UKM to also pioneer this field as an innovation in the provision of shariah-compliant creative content in Malaysia as a new financial generation.

The CAISER (Computer Assisted Intelligent Event Processor) research project which started in 2011 through Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) research by Associate Prof Dr Mohamad Hanif Saad has now crossed Dubai.

The most complex smart system that has been developed using the CAISER platform is the Network Monitoring and Notification System used by the ICT unit of Putrajaya Corporation. CAISER is a platform technology that enables the creation of intelligent systems using the Complex Event Processing (CEP) approach. CAISER has three main component categories in its platform, namely the adaptive component of data acquisition from the environment, the detector and event processor component and the adaptive component for the implementation of mitigation actions. Among the examples of adapters that have been developed are surveillance robot adapters, smart CCTV adapters, Remote Terminal Unit adapters (Remote Terminal Unit, RTU; used to obtain data from the field), Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) interface adaptation, customization of communication via Telegram and more. For example, several smart CCTV adapter blocks can be combined with the Telegram adaptation block as well as the CAISER event processor to develop an intelligent surveillance system capable of detecting human behavior in the environment and sending notifications via Telegram for anomalous events such as the movement of individuals pacing in front of the office. at 12 midnight.
