Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate caregiver's health seeking behaviour for children with pneumonia and to determine the associated factors. Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Hospital Semporna, East Malaysia from September 2009 to January 2010. Materials and Methods: Children diagnosed with pneumonia between ages

Dyslexia is a specific reading disability. It can be characterized by a severe difficulty in reading, learning, spelling, memorizing as well as sequencing activities. In this work, the participants' electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were monitored during resting situation. These signals are captured from the scalp of each subject to measure th

The purpose of this study is to address the gaps in the literature and to examine the predictors of job satisfaction. In this study, the hypothesized predictors influencing one’s job satisfaction are a) gender, b) age, c) level of education, d) salary, e) role in the job, and f) years of working in the organization. This study used Minnesota Sati

Introduction: Tamarind indicus belongs to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. Seeds from tamarind comprises of testa (20-30%) and kernel (70-75%) are rich in various biochemical components such as protein (131.3 g/kg), oil (48.2 g/kg) and fiber (67.1g/kg). In an effort to make use of tamarind seeds we have studied its possible pharmacological benefits

To minimize environmental problems associated with aquaculture, we wanted to develop an abalone and seaweed polyculture approach in a small scale recirculating aquaculture system housed in an air-conditioned recycled freezer container. We conducted two experiments; each used two recirculating systems. Each system consisted of two biofilters and two

Bangladesh has joined the submarine cable consortium in the recent past. It had been expected that the deployment of submarine cable connectivity would eliminate the digital divide and provide different e-services with an emphasis on multi services; such as data, voice, video, health care, etc. throughout the country. This work is an assessment of

We used customized fish tanks as model fish ponds to observe grazing, swimming, and conspecific social behavior of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) under variable food-resource conditions to assess alterations in feeding niche. Different food and feeding situations were created by using only pond water or pond water plus pond bottom sediment or pond w

This study presents a developed hybrid electrical air-cushion tracked vehicle (HETAV) for the transportation operation of agricultural and industrial goods on the swamp peat terrain bearing capacity of 5 kN/m2. The vehicle’s design parameters are optimized by using the developed mathematical models which are made based on the kinematics and dynam

Effects of intra- and interspecific competition on diet, growth, grazing, swimming, resting and social behaviour of two carps calbasu (Labeo calbasu) and mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus)were examined in single and mixed species treatments. Three treatments (tanks with 4 L. calbasu, 4 C. cirrhosus or 2 L. calbasu plus 2 C. cirrhosus) were andomly assign

This paper investigated the impact of strategic location, a retailer's most expensive and long-term marketing mix choice, on customer dynamics. The researchers used two aspects of retail location to estimate consumer spending at a multinational café franchisee in the metropolitan area of Malaysian capital. A qualitative observation method has
