Aims Cachexia, the wasting disorder associated with a wide range of serious illnesses including cancer, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. There is currently no widely approved therapeutic agent for treating or preventing cancer-associated cachexia. Colorectal cancer and nonsmall cell lung cancer have relatively high incidences of cachexi

Plants are considered as a great source of various herbal medicines which are been useful in the treatment of various ailments and diseases. A great contribution of plant-based materials in the pharmaceutical field results in the growing interest on the exploitation of indigenous medicinal plants to make a potential medicine. Several potent plant f

We study the -symmetric model with the nearest neighbour interaction between molecular dipole of five spin directions i.e. Q=5 which called as the -symmetric model on a triangular lattice. We investigate the zeros of partition function and the relationship to the phase transition. Initially, the model is defined on a triangular lattice graph with t

Surface finish and dimensional accuracy is one of the most important requirements in machining process. Inconel 718 has been widely used in the aerospace industries. High speed machining (HSM) is capable of producing parts that require little or no grinding/lapping operations within the required machining tolerances. In this study small diameter to

THIS year's World Mental Health Awareness Month is celebrated this year with a slightly different atmosphere as the Covid-19 challenge has yet to end, coupled with the recent Covid third wave in Malaysia which started in line with the beginning of many programs organized for this month. The theme of this year's celebration, Mental Health fo

Although spiritual and religious beliefs and practices play a central role in people’s lives and psychological functioning, there have not been enough attempts to study how spiritual and religious beliefs and practices could be operationalized and applied to enhance resilience. This is especially so with regards to the beliefs of Muslims. This le

Lesson Study can be viewed as a continuous development programme because it offers teachers support in an environment unlike other traditional continuous development programmes. In this study, 28 primary mathematics teachers were surveyed and 4 out of the 28 were interviewed to examine how they perceived Lesson Study as professional development. Da

This paper examines the entrenchment of Islamic cultures in the Malaysian society. Using constructivist grounded theory, in-depth face-to-face and focus group interviews data with 33 respondents from three different groups – government officers, media practitioners, and the general public – were analysed with the assistance of NVivo software.

This article deliberated on the concept of muhibah and its application as a means to foster harmony in the Malaysian pluralistic society comprising mainly the Malays, Chinese and Indians. Given the multiracial, multicultural and multireligous background, the study acknowledges the need to protect one’s heritage and cultural traits which are neces

This paper suggests a high efficiency inductive wireless power transfer system can be achieved by improving beaming field. Theoretical analysis, simulation results and experimental results are presented in this report. The coupling coefficient is enhanced through the use of multi-coils on the primary, ensuring a long distance transfer over a wide o
