“…In response to this issue, technology and university-industry collaborations need to be employed (Hanid et al, 2019;Berawi et al, 2020). In conjunction with industrial partners, our institution designed and manufactured a locally made nasopharyngeal swab called "Dacron Swab HS 19," using food-grade resin material and flocked fiber.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an international shortage of nasopharyngeal flocked swabs, which are one of the main supplies for diagnostic testing. In response to this issue, our institution developed locally made nasopharyngeal swabs. This report aims to provide a clinical evaluation by conducting a sterility test, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) compatibility test, and a user-based survey test of two batches of locally made flocked swabs. Sterility and compatibility tests were conducted at our microbiology laboratory. Participants with clinical suspicion of COVID-19 were scheduled for swab tests using Flocked Swab HS-19 and samples obtained were tested using the RT-PCR method. The cycle threshold (Ct) value of the samples was recorded. A user-based survey was conducted to evaluate the swab stick and flocked-fiber tip performance. The sterility test showed no evidence of bacterial growth on both blood agar and thioglycolate medium. RT-PCR compatibility test from Ct value of 33 samples of the first batch and 30 samples of the second batch was recorded with a mean Ct of 27.17±2.96 and 23.99±2.18, respectively. Six parameters of the swab stick (comfortability, smoothness, flexibility, durability, applicability, and breakpoint performance) showed satisfactory scores with an average of 4.14 out of 5.0 for the first batch and 4.16 for the second batch, while 4 parameters of the flocked-fiber tip (fiber adherence, thickness, symmetricity, and sample collection sufficiency) revealed acceptable scores with an average of 3.6 out of 5.0 for the first batch and 3.75 for the second batch. This study indicates that locally made flocked swabs are satisfactory and clinically applicable for testing and diagnosing COVID-19. Furthermore, mass production and distribution across the country are expected. The development of these swabs, which involved multidisciplinary teamwork and various industrial partners, portrayed a valuable lesson on how to cope with the pandemic through innovation.

“…However, further work to locate the brain tumor position more precisely using the average subtraction method is possible. The purpose of forming this industry (CTECH Labs EdWar Technology) and university (University of Muhammadiyah professor Dr. HAMKA) collaboration is to ensure success (Hanid et al, 2019).…”

Brain Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (Brain ECVT) is a new technique that realizes real-time volumetric imaging of dynamic changes in electrical activity of the brain and allows total interrogation of the whole volume inside a helmet-shaped sensor. The technique has been used for investigating numerous brain functional abnormalities, including brain tumors, based on permittivity different from the tumor case, as compared to the normal brain. However, interpretation of the conventional Brain ECVT image is not practical for clinical purposes, as the image resolutions are high in the cortical area and lower in the middle region. The technique provides relatively good sensitivity when the tumor is located near the cortex. In this study, we developed a novel method, namely the average subtraction technique, to process the reconstructed image of the brain obtained by Brain ECVT. The technique generates a three-dimensional intracranial distribution of permittivity that correlates with the electrical activity map of the brain with improved resolution in the center region of the brain. The technique provides better insight into brain intracranial electrical activity, which is quite distinctive when there is tumor development inside the brain. The technique may lead to better detection of brain tumors inside the brain based on the electrical activity scan.

“…A study based on the perspectives of industry players and academicians on the success factors however, showed diverse results. Although industrial players considered effective communication between partners as the most important factor in determining a successful university-industry collaboration, university researchers were of the view that other factors such as teamwork, leadership, and financial support were the crucial elements of success (Hanid et al, 2019).…”

“…This means that communication is not an important factor to consider in developing a successful collaboration. Hanid et al (2019) indicated that in some cases, when the collaboration partners were committed and fulfilled their responsibility since the beginning of a project, conducting regular meetings was not compulsory. As indicated by Ndudzo and Zinyama (2014), good communication skills were required in order to develop successful collaboration projects.…”

“…As indicated by Hanid et al (2019), there were few studies which had discussed the factors that led to successful collaboration projects. According to Butcher and Jeffry (2007), the effective project is defined based on collaboration of stakeholders including industry, university, and government perception of collaboration "efficiency" and "success".…”

In Malaysia, collaboration between university and industry is still limited. This requires improvement of current practices in developing effective collaborations. However, there are still projects that fail to deliver, and it is quite challenging and difficult to assess the recent successful university-industry collaboration projects. In light of this, background problem, the present research was aimed at identifying the factors which hindered effective collaboration between university and industry, especially during the development research stage. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the success factors and the effectiveness of collaborative projects during the development, research stage. This study adopted a quantitative research method. Survey questionnaires were distributed among researchers involved in a collaborative project funded by a government grant scheme. The results showed that reward had a positive and significant relationship with both process- and outcome-related criteria. Meanwhile, financial support had a negative and significant relationship with a process-related criterion. The findings can be used as guidelines for collaboration stakeholders to develop an effective collaborative project.
