This randomized cross-over pilot study aimed to evaluate the effect of hearing augmentation on cognitive assessment scores and duration to complete cognitive assessment among the elderly in-patients in a teaching hospital. A hearing amplifier was used for hearing augmentation and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test was used to assess cogn

Previous studies proved that certain thiourea derivatives have various biological properties. Therefore, 44 newly-synthesized carbonyl thiourea derivatives which had been successfully synthesized were investigated for their cytotoxicity effects on a pathogenic Acanthamoeba sp. (Hospital Kuala Lumpur isolate), and later proceeded with quantitative s

According to muhaddithun, hadith is ‘what was transmitted on the authority of The Prophet (PBUH): his deeds, sayings, tacit approvals, or description of his physical features and moral behaviors’.

However, there are limited co

In this paper, we present the development of an automated water tank filtration system together with the study on water turbidity using light dependent resistor (LDR) as the sensing unit. The system comprises of a microcontroller (Arduino Uno), a micropump, a sensing unit and a water filter. The main objective of this paper is to study the ability

Reuse is a fundamental activity in software development lifecycle, which can be employed at any stage of development. Reuse of software artefacts, such as requirements, architectures, models, test cases among others, improves software quality and productivity. Because of its higher level of abstraction, requirements reuse (RR) is recognized as reus

Heterogeneity in the Malaysian school system has divided students of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The chances of getting a group of multicultural students in a classroom are far slimmer in the rural areas than in schools situated in the urban areas.

Approximately 100 million people are exposed to arsenic worldwide, majorly through drinking water and anthropogenic activities. Monosodium methylarsonate (MSMA) is a potent organoarsenical content of herbicides used in many Asian countries. Epidemiological studies have linked inorganic arsenic exposure with atherosclerosis, whereas organoarsenicals

This paper examines hedging strategy in stock index futures for Kuala Lumpur Composite Index futures of Malaysia. We employed two different econometric methods such as-vector error correction model (VECM) and bivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (BGARCH) models to estimate optimal hedge ratio by using daily data of KL
