This study examined organizational practices in a sample of 1239 employees from various organizations in Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia, New Zealand, Turkey, and the United States. Twenty-four items measuring employee-orientation, formalization, and innovation practices showed a clear factorial structure across all samples, along with good reliabiliti

Islam has put greater emphasis on the importance of acquisition and dissemination of knowledge (‘ilm) than any other human activities. In fact, it makes it compulsory (fard{) upon its adherents, regardless of gender, to learn and disseminate knowledge. The obligation of seeking out knowledge is binding upon every Muslim by the command of the Qur�

Islam has never imposed polygamy as a universal principle nor has it put a restriction on the plurality of wives. In other words, Islam neither compels Muslims to practice polygamy nor prohibits them from doing so if certain conditions are fulfilled. Islam came at a time when people were scrambling to marry as many women as they could, just for fun

The implementations of green roof have been widely used in the developed countries such as Germany, United Kingdom, United States and Canada. Green roof have many benefits such as aesthetic and economic value, ecological gain which are optimization of storm water management, urban heat island mitigation and energy conservation. In term of pollution

A novel multiparametric biosensor system based on living cells will be presented. The biosensor system includes two biosensing techniques on a single device: resonant frequency measurements and electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS). The multiparametric sensor system is based on the innovative use of the upper electrode of a quartz crysta

Magneto-rheological (MR) dampers are semi-active control devices and use MR fluids. Magneto-rheological dampers have successful applications in mechatronics engineering, civil engineering and numerous areas of engineering. At present, traditional MR damper systems, require a isolated power supply and dynamic sensor. This paper presents the achievab

Fish oil was extracted from the head of longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol) using various supercritical carbon dioxide (SC -C02) technique and Soxhlet method, for comparison of the yield. The extraction were performed at temperature 45 to 65 °C and pressure 20 to 40 MPa, where 65 °C/40 MPa gave the highest yield of 20.6, 35.4 and 34.1 g/ 100 g sample

In 2013, this author approached three schools in Gombak and proposed an action learning project. Based on experience in IIUM, this author suggested that a project-based approach could be used to develop the potential of their students. Two schools agreed to participate. They selected students that they classified as being “problematic”. In 2014

يحاول هذا البحث تسليط الضوء على جانب هام من علوم الحديث والمتعلق بعلم نقد المتن. ولقد تناول البحث الموضوع من خلال بيان تاريخية هذا الفن وارتباطه الكبير بعمل الصحابة منذ العقود الأولى لهذا الدي

This paper presents a novel cell-based biosensor device that contains a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), integrated with the electric cell-substrate impedance sensing(ECIS) technique. Bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) are cultivated on the sensors and monitored in parallel by both sensors. When two different sensors monitors the same BAECs
