[en] Personnel trustworthiness or reliability is paramount to the success of any security program. In the Nuclear Security domain, personnel trustworthiness evaluation is one of the important tasks to mitigate insiders threat. Internal adversary or collision adversary could be identified by evaluating personnel trustworthiness. Currently, most organizations implemented a background checking process for personnel trustworthiness evaluation. The background-checked is done by manually screening a personnel's background data. Most of the data screening and filtration is done by security personnel in the Security Department. This practice evoked issues regarding the security personnel himself as there is human intervention in the process. The result could be biased based on the human perception or the relationship of the evaluator to the personnel that is being evaluated. Therefore, there is a need to overcome the problem. One of the solutions is by implementing an Artificial Intelligent System that could evaluate the personnel's trustworthiness autonomously. A knowledge-based technique has always been a very comprehensive technique in developing intelligent application systems. The use of ontologies in the intelligent system is necessary to provide a vocabulary and taxonomy of categorization and classification of entities within the domain. Thus, this paper proposed a knowledge-based model, namely, the Personnel Trustworthiness Evaluation Ontology (PTEO) v1.0 that has been developed based on current practice, as stated in the IAEA guidelines.

[en] Transforming manual process into digital mean requires strenuous strategy and efforts. Despite the digitalization, building structured data on the unprecedented domain area is an important discovery to the information technology. Through a project called MBioTest, a structured database architecture has been developed to support the MBioTest system. Previously, data used for Microbiology Laboratory test were in the text-based files and less structured. The less structured data leads to unproductive data usage and retrieval. This paper presents the development of database architecture used in the Microbiology Laboratory test information system (MBioTest). The database architecture is design based on two type of microbiological test procedures, namely Sterility and Bacterial Endotoxin Test. Those tests are conducted to ensure the safety of radiopharmaceutical product used in cancer screening. The emphasize is on the generalization of the database architecture design which is able to be replicated to some other application of similar type of laboratory information management. (author)

[en] Opinion mining or sentiment analysis based on social media has been developed these years, especially with the popularity of social media and the development of machine learning. Nowadays, people are more willing to share and discuss their thoughts on online platforms. Therefore, analyzing the public opinions towards heated topics are valuable to gain insights about how public feel about certain topics. However, in the community of nuclear engineering and technology in Malaysia, sentiment analysis is seldom studied. This paper will be discussed on the sentiment that could be identified around nuclear topics in Malaysia with the help of social media. Goals for this project is to unveil netizens sentiments and common issues found from the online articles by classifying the sentiment around user comments either they are positive, negative or neutral and then extract value in terms of key words associated with each sentiment. A Hybrid approach combining the Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner (VADER) and machine learning algorithm is applied on the user's comment to predict the sentiment. The experimental results show that the validation accuracy is ≅ 74.6 %. (author)

[en] System Authentication, Integrity and security do not always against the user freedom. The use of Artificial Intelligence could facilitate user sense of freedom through the implementation of Biometric and Face Recognition technologies. A system development project called ePC 3.0 demonstrates the use of both technologies to improve the system usability. As the first step, this paper presents the integration process of Biometric and Face Recognition Technologies that involves technical configuration and observation at various levels such as inter-system and inter-device instructional communication and online back-end database replication and design update. The integration process contributes to the electronic system that need to utilize the Biometric and Face Recognition as new input mechanism. (author)

[en] A number of security systems, either 'a manual security system' or 'a computer-based security system' are established in the Malaysian Nuclear Agency (Nuklear Malaysia) to provide protection for nuclear/radioactive materials, associated facilities, and associated activities. A manual security system is defined as a human-managed nuclear security system without any automated computer-aided system such as the existing inventory of radioactive materials recorded in the inventory log book, utilizing the Microsoft Excel application, or Inventory Cards to record, perform, and monitor the Nuclear/Radioactive Material Accounting (NRMAC) related activities. Manual-based systems need human intervention in every step of the procedure, such as updating the inventory card and log book, hence performing the calculation of the inventory to produce the balance sheet of the NRMAC. This kind of system is highly exposed to error-prone made by human careless and neglecting behavior. Apart from that, it lacks benefits in terms of aiding situational awareness of the security of nuclear/radioactive materials because no automated alert could be generated if an imbalance in inventory happens. therefore, this paper presented a conceptual design of a new web-based application system called the Computerized Automation of the Nuclear/Radioactive Materials Accounting System (CARMA System). the CARMA system is proposed to be developed to automate the process and computerized the process of record keeping and inventory of nuclear/radioactive materials. This system is one of the base components in the Integrated and Intelligent Nuclear Security System (I2NS), aimed to fulfill the scope of improving security measures in controlling and monitoring the outsiders and the insiders dealing with radioactive materials. the conceptual design is developed following the Public Sector Application System Engineering Guide Book (Buku Panduan Kejuruteraan Sistem Aplikasi Sektor Awam, KRISA) published by MAMPU.
