The document summarizes a group project to design a game for a competition. The group is called the Kamisumokazes and their game involves pulling socks off opponents' arms within a triangular formation of 3 teams. The game has detailed instructions for play, including open and closed periods to attack or defend and rules about returning pulled socks. The group received feedback that their original game plan was too dangerous and explanations were too long, so they made adjustments to use a smaller area and put socks on arms instead of feet.
This document summarizes an individual assignment on awareness of implementing sustainable housing development. It begins by defining sustainable development and noting that awareness of issues is important for considering environmental, social, and economic impacts. It then discusses that lack of awareness is a major barrier, as many stakeholders and developers do not understand sustainable housing benefits. This lack of awareness leads to problems like wasted resources and missing long-term economic benefits. The document concludes by recommending increasing public education through schools, media, and government policies to encourage developers to consider sustainability and help more people understand the long-term benefits.
The document provides an analysis of building materials used at the One Soho condominium rooftop in Subang Jaya, Malaysia. It describes the materials used for the swimming pool, pool surround, playground floor, gym floor, multi-purpose hall floor, artificial grass mats, pool/gym ceilings, glass walls, outdoor walls, and glass doors. For each material, alternatives are also discussed that could potentially be used instead and their relative pros and cons. The analysis is intended to inform readers on the various material choices for different areas and functions of the condominium building.
Concrete degradation and defects can occur due to a variety of reasons and have different effects. Common types of defects include honeycombing caused by ineffective vibration, concrete spalling due to corrosion of reinforcing steel from water and salt penetration, and cracking which frequently occurs on concrete surfaces from drying shrinkage, thermal contraction, or applied loads. These defects can be repaired but prevention is important, such as using adequate concrete cover and coatings on steel to prevent corrosion, and additives to improve workability and reduce cracking. Left unaddressed, degradation and defects can compromise the structural integrity of buildings and bridges, potentially resulting in collapse and loss of life.

The document discusses various types of building materials including sheesham, teak, deodar, bamboo, sal, and plywood. Sheesham is a hardwood found in India that can be used for furniture and flooring. Teak is one of the strongest and most durable hardwoods, growing up to 150 feet tall in South and Southeast Asia. Deodar is used for construction in India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan, growing up to 250 feet tall. Bamboo is one of the strongest natural materials and grows widely around the world. Sal trees are found in parts of India and used for construction beams and tools. Plywood is made of thin layered wood and is strong, resisting cracking and warping
The document analyzes the construction materials used in a residential building located in Brunei Darussalam. It is divided into three parts. Part 1 provides illustrations of the building through photos and drawings. Part 2 explains and identifies the foundation (pile foundation), slab (reinforced concrete slab), and roof (hipped roof with timber trusses) materials. Part 3 compares these materials to other foundation types (pad foundation and raft foundation), and slab types (mass concrete slab and precast slab). It recommends alternatives and assesses the building materials.
The document summarizes a charity drive event organized by college students to raise funds for the Spastic Children's Association of Selangor & Federal Territory. The group sold muffins, macaroons, and handbands during the 10th-14th of February 2014 at their college.

The document describes a study on the bystander effect conducted at Taylor's University. The study involved staging a laptop theft in public areas on campus and observing 127 participants' reactions. The results showed that females and individuals alone were more likely to notice the theft, with two females taking action. Those in groups were less likely to notice or help. The study supports the hypothesis that people are less likely to help when in a group than alone.
1. The document analyzed smartphone usage statistics from 200 participants (106 male, 94 female).
2. It found that most male and female participants were between 16-20 years old. Slightly more males (47%) than females (53%) participated.
3. Most participants, both male and female, had smartphones and checked them immediately after waking up. They spent 1-3 minutes on average using their phones at a time.
4. Both genders predominantly used social media apps beyond calling and messaging, with males using more than 3 apps on average and females using both less than and more than 3 apps. Most also played games on their phones.
5. Checking phones after notifications and using phones while waiting
This project examines smartphone usage patterns between males and females through a survey of 20 questions. The group members are Benny Tan, Cassandra Wong, Haziq Zariful, Syafiq Zariful, James Moy, and Parham. The survey was distributed to collect information on respondents' age, most used apps, and how often and in what situations phones are used. The goal is to analyze differences in male and female smartphone habits and present the findings through statistical analysis, charts, and an infographic poster.
This document contains summaries of two lectures on social psychology topics:
1) The first lecture discussed attitudes, their components (cognitive, affective, behavioral), theories of attitude change (evaluative conditioning, operant conditioning, observational learning), and using examples like advertisements.
2) The second lecture covered conformity and group behavior, including Stanley Milgram's experiment on obedience, the power of social situations, and benefits of working in groups. Examples of how behaviors can be influenced by others and social roles were provided.
This document contains notes from several lectures on topics in social psychology, including self-concept, intuition, and vision. For self-concept, it discusses how people define themselves, self-knowledge, and self-serving bias. It also covers positive thinking exercises. For intuition, it discusses controlled vs automatic thinking, schemas, memory, and how attitudes can change. For vision, it outlines the structure of the eye, effects of color, and visual illusions.
This document is a compare and contrast essay analyzing the animated films "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Lion King". It discusses their differences in production process, scenes/atmosphere, and storylines. "The Lion King" was produced in 1994 using animation based on real animal movements, while "Kung Fu Panda" from 2008 benefited from improved animation technology. "Kung Fu Panda" contains more comedic scenes while "The Lion King" has a more serious tone. The films also have different atmospheres and storylines that convey different messages.
This document is a student's written assignment analyzing their selection of a cup as the object they use most in daily life. It provides a detailed description of the cup in 3 paragraphs, noting its size, shape, weight, material, color, and design. The student reflects that while they described many attributes of the cup, it is still difficult to fully capture an object through words alone and recognizes there are many objects surrounding us that would be challenging to completely describe.

The document outlines three steps to produce attractive sketches:
1. Start with drawing basics by practicing drawing simple everyday objects to build skills. Practice frequently.
2. Master concepts like starting sketches as a whole before adding details, using different line weights, and experimenting with techniques. When drawing things, make them appear realistic.
3. Consider materials, recording your progress over time, and doing timed sketches to improve proportions without overthinking. Keeping drawings allows you to see improvement areas. Practicing is key along with following these steps.
