Oil and gas projects are inherently complex and volatile in nature. These projects expose to risks in all phases and milestones commencing from the feasibility phase to the operational stage, where there is a tendency that the operations will not run efficiently and does not turn out exactly as planned. In this regard, the project risk relates to t

Introduction: Monosodium methylarsonate (MSMA) is an organic arsenical pesticide widely used in agriculture. Exposure to arsenic has been linked with multiple health problems. Inflammatory genes such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) play an important role in pathophysiology of exposure to an acute high dose arsenic-mediated nephroto

Objectives: Young men are at higher cardiovascular risk compared to the female counterparts. Since cortisol could have a role in the pathophysiology of cardiometabolic syndrome, it could contribute to the observed intersex risk difference. The aim of this study is to examine the association between cortisol level and the cardiometabolic parameters

Introduction: Melioidosis is endemic in Malaysia and an important cause of sepsis. Current gold standard for diagnosis is by culture method,but its long procedure will delay the treatment leading to hospital-related mortality.Thus,a good rapid test is needed to reduce its mortality burden. Recently, Active Melioidosis Detect (AMD) have been shown t

Bioremediation offers a sustainable approach for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the environment; however, information regarding the microbial communities involved remains limited. In this study, microbial community dynamics and the abundance of the key gene (PAH-RHDα) encoding a ring hydroxylating dioxygenase involved in P

International migration has drawn much attention from social scientists in recent decades and large-scale migration has become a permanent and substantive part of global socio-economic development. There are many kinds of migration, from refugees to skilled migrants. The migration of highly skilled people from developing to developed countries is k

Fish gelatin nanoparticle is produced using Tilapia fish skin for the first time by the two-step desolvation method. Fish gelatin is chosen for producing gelatin nanoparticles because no experiment have been done in using fish gelatin and to counter the problem associated with the use of mammalian gelatin, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy d

Irrespective of which category of country, whether developed or developing, housing issues will never end. Malaysia itself has several housing issues, in particular the concept of housing development which began with “sell-then-build” concept where a developer sells houses prior to its construction. Later in 2007, a law was introduced, encourag

Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs) have significant properties such as low density, high specific resistance, excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, low-cost, low abrasive nature, and reactive surface for easy modification. Water contamination from various sources has become a serious problem in recent years. Hence, this study will serve the

Background This study aimed to fabricate a denture base resin (DBR) containing phytoncide microcapsules (PTMCs) and determine the mechanical properties of the resin and antifungal activity. Methods Fifty‐four heat cured rectangular DBR specimens (64 x 10 x 3.3 ± 0.2 mm) containing nine concentrations of PTMC between 0 ‐ 5% (wt/wt) were fabrica
