This paper presents a measurement of the underlying event activity in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, performed using inclusive Z boson production events collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb−1. The underlying event activity is quantified in

A measurement of the inelastic proton-proton cross section with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of √ s = 13 TeV is presented. The analysis is based on events with energy deposits in the forward calorimeters, which cover pseudorapidities of −6.6 < η < −3.0 and +3.0 < η < +5.2. An inelastic cross section of 68.6 ±

Muslim reformism, which emerged in West Asia during the closing years of the nineteenth century, and the early twentieth, was spearheaded by Jamal al-Din al-Afghani and Muhammad ‘Abduh. It responded to the socio-economic and political challenges confronting the Muslim society. Muslim reformism was not only influential in West Asia but also in Sou

The late nineteenth century marked the beginning of British policy of intervention in the Malay states with the signing of the landmark Pangkor Treaty in 1874. The imposition of British power in Malaya brought about radical changes in many spheres of life: demography, economy, law and politics. This article describes the historical background of th

LIGHT is a leadership enrichment initiative programme for university students collaboratively organised by two universities in Malaysia and an industry partner, which are International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) and Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB). Realising the needs to continuously strengthen the t

Islamic financial institutions (IFI) that are governed by sharī‘ah principles are expected to have inherently strong ethical roots such as promoting justice and avoiding any illegal and unethical elements. Hence, ethics has become a vital component in order to provide “value” for consumers. Indeed, there are numerous Qur’anic injunctions a

An optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) generation system is designed to be incorporated with radio over fibre (RoF) system for 5G application. The design employs the dual-sideband optical carrier suppression (DSB-OCS) technique with a dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (DE-MZM). A mm-wave of 40 GHz is generated with the intention to be used as a w

Purpose Motion capture system (MoCap) has been used in measuring the human body segments in several applications including film special effects, health care, outer-space and under-water navigation systems, sea-water exploration pursuits, human machine interaction and learning software to help teachers of sign language. The purpose of this paper is

Epistemology is a theory of knowledge especially with regards to its methods, validity and scope; it is an investigation of what distinguishes that which has to be justified as belief or opinion. In explaining the monotheistic law, the religious perspective, looks at the Quranic epistemology as a theory of knowledge which is absolutely primordial a

In the fast moving world, there is growing preference among parents to send their children to Islamic Private Schools, particularly Islamic schools with integrated curriculum. Even though education matters still under the purview of the Ministry of Education, Islamic Private Schools do not enjoy similar services and benefits in terms of training, e
