A balanced oral microbiome is essential in maintaining a healthy oral cavity. Oral microbiome comprises of var­ious microorganisms that belong to different kingdoms, including bacteria (bacteriome) and fungal (mycobiome). Multiple factors have been shown in oral carcinogenesis including alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, betel nut chewing and m

OroSYN stands for ‘oral synbiotic’ which is a formulation for various oral healthcare products such as mouthwash and toothpaste. The oral healthcare products contain oral probiotics and prebiotics which used to maintain healthy oral cavity.

Biomass wastes from oil palm production have the potential to be converted into high value bioproducts. Oil palm biomass (OPB) includes empty fruit bunch, mesocarp fibre, palm shell kernel, oil palm fronds and trunks. The production of microbial oils from OPB can be achieved through biochemical routes comprising pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysi

Following their violent suppression of the Indian Revolution of 1857, the British founded and consolidated their secular empire in the Indian Subcontinent, which marginalized and bypassed religion as far as possible, particularly Islam, which had been the official religion of the Mughal ancien régime. Contemporaneous Ottoman efforts to counter Eur

A systematic succession planning program, couple with solid career development is important to public sector employees. With this in mind, practicing the appropriate leadership strategy may contribute to a good management system. Therefore, this study intends to explore the relationship between leadership styles and career development program. The

Microbial infection has been shown to involve in oral carcinogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to characterize the growth of oral microorganisms as both monospecies and polymicrobial biofilms and determine the effects of their products on oral keratinocytes. Candida albicans (ALC3), Actino

The Quranic alphabets can be characterized from their point of articulation (Makhaarij) and their characteristics (Sifaat). The fact is that there is limited research in the field of Tajweed from the engineering perspective. This research focused on the identification and analysis of the correct pronunciation of the Quranic alphabets on the feature

Laser micro texturing technique has shown its potential in reducing friction and wear at various mechanical interfaces such as automotive and cutting tools etc. Automotive parts are coated with Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coatings to enhance their performance. Due to stringent condition at the automotive contacts and demand for performance enhancemen

Tissue engineering (TE) research serves to overcome the major obstacles in organ transplantation. This paper summarizes the progress of TE in Malaysia. The online database of Elsevier’s SCOPUS was accessed. Publications related to TE from 1960 till 2017 were scrutinized. The results show an increasing trend in tissue engineering research and deve

The paper focusses on the provision of shelter or housing for asnaf fakr and miskin by zakat administrators in Malaysia. The objectives of the study are to ascertain whether the design and planning (quality & standard) of zakat housing (1) satisfies the need and well-being of the households (i.e. the asnafs) in terms of appropriateness and adeq
