Illness perception is the organized cognitive representations or beliefs that patients have about their illness. These perceptions are important determinants of behavior and are associated with important illness outcomes. This study aimed to assess the illness perception of diabetic patients with periodontitis toward Diabetes Mellitus and periodont

This paper reports on a new method used to estimate the spark radius in the gap during electrical discharge machining (EDM). This method combines the heat flux and energy equations of the copper electrode. The energy partition between workpiece and electrode (tool) due to EDM process was estimated using the ratio of thermal conductivity of the work

We define a complementary stochastic quadratic operator on finite-dimensional space as a new sub-class of quadratic stochastic operator. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for complementary stochastic quadratic operator.Vol. 1 , No. 1 | Jan – June 2017 SJCMS | P-ISSN: 2520 -0755 | Vol. 1 | No. 1 | © 2017 Sukkur IBA 22 Necessary and Suf

Disease burden from the Malaysian elderly population is increasing as demographics shifts towards longer life expectancy. It is increasingly evident that immunosenescence is the central process in many age-related illnesses. Latent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection had been shown to change the immune system in similar ways to aging, by causing

The scope of this research is DSQO in order to generate models that will be applied for the consensus problem in MAS. The majorization concept, stochastic matrix, doubly stochastic matrix and QSO theory are included in this research to build the DSQO. The previous works have focused on the design of linear and nonlinear consensus for consensus prob

Historically, the use and produce of Malay traditional ink were closely associated with the palaces and pondoks (Islamic religious school) where the early Malay manuscripts were traced. These Malay manuscripts can be traced dated back to the 16th century and the fact that those manuscripts have survived until today proves the durability and permane

This presentation on globalization among others discusses the nature and differences that exist between the modern and Muslim concepts of globalization. Since it is not possible for the Muslims to live in total isolation from the things that are happening in a globalized world, they can at least come up with a strategic plan in how to position them

In the past centuries, education was regarded as a medium of creating a good individual and citizen. The philosophy of education is designed to guide in producing the type of individuals the state wants to create. The analogy of the educator is like that of a blacksmith who moulds the iron into his desired shape while it is still red-hot. Likewise,

This presentation intends to explain that there was a time in the history of the Muslims known as the ‘Golden Age of Islam’. During that period of time (750-1258), Muslims built their great civilization by merging science and spirituality. They were prepared to learn all that are positive and non-contradictory to their Muslim faith from others;

This presentation examines on extremism and act of terror committed at the global level. Since extremism is an age-old phenomenon that existed all throughout in the history of mankind, the presentation will focus on the many forms of extremism that happen during this modern age of globalization and telecommunication. The crux of the presentation wi
