Oil palm has been widely used in many sub-sectors, and any changes in the production side may affect many sectors that use oil palm as an input factor in their productions. This study explores the chain of the oil palm sector on the other sub-sectors in Malaysia by using a value-added multiplier method and network modeling. The study focuses on the specific oil palm sub-sector and oils and fats sub-sector in the Malaysian economic structure based on the Malaysian Input-Output 2015 Table. Network visualization and all the analyses involving network methods were developed and performed using UCINET and GEPHI software. The value-added multiplier results explained that the net value between output multiplier and import multiplier is vital to depict the real impact of net resources used as an input factor in the oils and fats and oil palm sub-sectors. The high-den...

Computational Thinking has emerged as a systematic way of thinking, and problem-solving process. The awareness of inculcating CT into education, at different curricular level has started in various directions, and contexts. The article aimed to introduce the basic concepts of CT and highlight common key features within K-12 education frameworks, deployed by different bodies. Computational thinking is closely related to critical thinking, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning, as well as project-based learning. From the review, various computational thinking definitions and key features within education frameworks were identified, and this contributed in how computational thinking is being integrated in different context, respectively.

In order to enhance customer satisfaction and their shopping experiences, it has become important to analysis customers reviews to extract opinions on the products that they buy. Thus, Opinion Mining is getting more important than before especially in doing analysis and forecasting about customers' behavior for businesses purpose. The right decision in producing new products or services based on data about customers' characteristics means profit for organization/company. This paper proposes a new architecture for Opinion Mining, which uses a multidimensional model to integrate customers' characteristics and their comments about products (or services). The key step to achieve this objective is to transfer comments (opinions) to a fact table that includes several dimensions, such as, customers, products, time and locations. This research presents a comprehensive way to calculate customers' orientation for all possible products' attributes.
