This research examined the privacy needs of the Urban Malays in Malaysia and focuses on the medium cost two-storey terrace housing typology. The literature review indicated that low priority was given for privacy in the traditional Malay society which emphasises more on community intimacy, which subsequently influences their housing design. The Nat

None has observed the Malay language,culture and society of the nineteenth century as avid and critical as Munshi Abdullah or Abdullah Abdul Kadir. He has been regarded as the father of modern Malay literature because of his new style of writing and its focus which departed from the old style of Malay literature. In fact, he can also be regarded as

The main objective of the study was to determine the Muslim women's knowledge and accesibility to the law on post divorce financial support particularly that which relates to 'iddah maintenance, mut'ah,arrears of maintenance and child maintenance. The data was collected using self administered questionaire. The sample was 201 divorced w

Evidences showed that students came from different country brought difference style and learning behavior which leads to differing pedagogical preferences (Gilleard, 1998; Rodrigues, 2005; Rodrigues, et al.,2000). This study examines the influence of culture on learning behaviors and motivation to learn among international students. Comparison is m

Muhamed Ibn Zakariya Al-Razi (d.925) and Abu Ali Al-Husayn Ibn Abd. Allah Ibn Sina(d.1037), were among the early Muslim scientists whose contributions to natural sciences are well appreciated and acknowledged by modern scholars of both the western and the Muslim world. They were acknowledged not because they were instrumental to transfer the intell

In the process of building knowledge-based civilization, scientific progress and technological advancement is both important and challenging task. However, equally important and challenging task is "forming" the scientific mind and "shaping" the intellectual behaviour of individuals to develop science and technology. While such clai

UM Financial in our over 5 year of retail Islamic financial products in Canada have come across many other faith groups where usury free products are requested.

The application of the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and fuzzy logic controller (FLC) in the field of active vibration isolation for a vehicle suspension system is presented to overcome the limitation of passive suspension system and the performances of the two active controllers are compared with the passive system. Results show that the perfor

We describe simple implementations of homotopy (also called continuation) algorithm for determining the proper resistor to dissipate energy at a specified rate of an electric circuit. Homotopy algorithm can be considered as a developing of the classical methods in numerical computing such as Newton- Raphson and fixed point methods. In homoptopy met
