This Paper determines an experimental study of a dual-pass solar dryer with a bed tilt of 0.5° and varying the oscillating frequency of the drying chamber namely 1.25, 1.75, and 2.25 Hz for drying an agricultural produce namely non–parboiled paddy grains. The oscillations and bed tilt are provided to move the grains from entry to exit of the top

This study is part of a project that started in 2017. The project consists at looking at specific sūrahs of the Qur’an and extracting lessons for Muslim business leaders. The current study focuses on sūrah al-Ar’af. Two major themes that emerge from this sūrah are the problem of heedlessness and arrogance. Both are diseases of the heart.

In Muslim minority societies in the Southeast Asian region, Muslim youth leaders have been educated and trained in accordance with the national education system. The concept of leadership and its practices are patterned from the perspective of the dominant culture of leadership in which non-Islamic theories, philosophies, and worldviews are regarde

ABSTRACT The study explores pertinent issues about developing knowledge culture and its implications for peace and sustainable developments within the context of a secular state. The study also revisits government policies and mechanisms for the advancement of cultural and civilizational interactions. In addition, the study aims to suggest avenues

Abstract Given the influence of secularism in interpreting social facts, the present study highlights the relevance of recognising cultural convergence as the ultimate panacea to the decades of unresolved conflicts amongst various cultural groups in the Philippines. The study underlines that the surviving epistemological foundation between two oppo

his study reviews the life of the Prophet from the perspective of management. Throughout his life, the Prophet stressed that Islam combines the rights of Allah and the rights of the people. This was true whatever the context, whether in Mecca or Madinah, at the beginning or at the end of his career as a prophet, even prior to battles. He stressed t

This study explores the usefulness of replacing automatic negative thoughts (ANTs). ANTs are irrational thoughts that seem to simply appear in one’s mind. These thoughts often reflect a fear, and they prevent action. They create a self-fulfilling prophecy. ANTs are often associated with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a technique used by som

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) represents one of four well-defined areas of research. Historically, pharmacy institutions have failed to factor the SoTL into the promotion and tenure considerations of their faculty. Without acknowledgement or incentive for their efforts, faculty may be forced to abandon innovative teaching research

In the present work, amorphous bio-based polymer electrolytes (BBPEs) using alginate polymer as a matrix host and doped with varying amounts of ammonium iodide (NH4I) have been developed via the solution casting technique. The physicochemical properties of alginate-NH4I BBPEs were evaluated by using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micros

The decrease of surface area is a critical concern for any type of digital circuit. For example, the VLSI approach is used to lower the chip's size, which increases both the device's density and its performance. When it comes to digital circuits, a full adder circuit is a crucial part of any arithmetic processor. A computer, or any other ty
