This study is exploratory in nature. It is the first of its kind in Malaysia to examine the incest phenomenon from the perspective of those accused and convicted of incest. Previous studies in Malaysia had examined the phenomenon from the perspective of the victims and those involved in the treatment of the victims and family members. The study has

The application of equitable principles owns a respectable position in almost all legal subjects; land is not an exception. The presence of the prohibitive provision under s 6 of the Civil Law Act 1956 does not effect the original role person involved in land transactions. This feature of equity has become acceptable in all jurisdistions in the wor

Section 44 of the National Land Code 1965 provides for the exclusive use and enjoyment of land by any registered owner. In addition, s 340 state the indefeasibility of registered land titles and dealings. The question is: Is it legitimate to regard the airspace above owned land the owner's legitimate property which he/she can utilize and enjoy

In this conceptual article, the literature on expatriate social network and its relationships to adjustment and performance in overseas assignments have been reviewed exhaustively. By identifying some gaps and inconsistencies found in the literature, a typology of research on expatriate network explanations has been proposed based on whether the ai

With the advancements of networking technologies and miniaturization of electronic devices, wireless sensor network (WSN) has become an emerging area of research in academic, industrial, and defense sectors. Different types of sensing technologies combined with processing power and wireless communication capability make sensor networks very lucrati

We consider an Ising competitive model defined over a triangular Husimi tree where loops, responsible for an explicit frustration,are even allowed. We first analyze the phase diagram of the model with fixed couplings in which a “gas of noninteracting dimers (or spin liquid) — ferro or antiferromagnetic ordered state” zero temperature transiti

Due to the sensitivity of the piezoelectric layer in surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators to temperature, a method of achieving device stability as a function of temperature is required. This work presents the design, modeling and characterization of integrated dual-serpentine polysilicon resistors as a method of temperature control for CMOS SAW

The enzymatic digestibilities of raw and gelatinized starches in various potato starches, as well as sweet potato, cassava, and yam starches, were estimated, along with other starch properties, such as the phosphorus content, median granule size, and rapid visco analyzer (RVA) pasting properties. Furthermore, correlation coefficients were calculate

The aim of the present study was to determine the blood velocity and its indices in common carotid artery (CCA) as reference value for clinical and healthcare application using the constructed portable wireless Doppler blood flow velocimeter system. Evaluation of CCA blood velocity waveforms was performed in 202 healthy volunteers in the age range

Background: The approach to the teaching of ethics and professionalism in the Faculty of Medicine (FM) of International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is unique. A specifically designed package is incorporated designated as the Islamic Input into the Medical Programme (IIMP). The IIMP spans over the entire 5 years of the medical programme. In t
