This study investigated the environmental factors associated with the presence of Vibrionaceae in economically important cage-cultured tropical marine fishes: the Asian Seabass Lates calcarifer, snapper Lutjanus sp., and hybrid grouper Epinephelus sp. Fish sampling was conducted at monthly intervals between December 2016 and August 2017. The body w

In this research, the adsorption potential of quaternized palm kernel shell (QPKS) to remove F− from aqueous solution was investigated using fixed-bed adsorption column. Raw palm kernel shell waste was reacted with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride (CHMAC) in order to modify the surface charge. The effects of inlet F− concentr

Background: Stress-induced hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients. A few forms of model-based glycemic control have been introduced to reduce this phenomena and among them is the automated STAR protocol which has been used in the Christchurch and Gyulá hospitals’ intensive care units (ICUs) since 2010. Methods: This article presents

With the massive interest in electric vehicle technology, all different types of vehicles are moving toward green awareness, including the motorcycle. As time progresses, the investigations on the motorcycle developed to an even more complex model as the model need to be able to include the dynamics of the motorcycle at high speed. Relatively, few

Stress-induced hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients, but there is uncertainty about what constitutes an optimal blood glucose target range for glycemic control. Furthermore, to reduce the rate of hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic events, model-based glycemic control protocols have been introduced, such as the stochastic targeted (STAR) g

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is one of the most challenging issues faced by most developing countries. Knowledge of solid waste generation and composition is necessary for accurate decision-making in terms of engineering design, planning and forecasting for the management strategy of urban waste. The objective of this study was to determi

Sukuk structures rely on the performance of an underlying asset or on a contractual arrangement pertaining to that specific asset. This makes sukuk an important facility in Islamic finance since it can be used to provide regular payments throughout the life of the financing plan. This study highlights some important sukuk structures, such as ijarah

Syntactic (Naḥw) errors are the subjects of linguists’ debate that has long lasted without a fairly winning solution. However, that solution should be still attempted particularly pertaining to linguistic, logical and syntactic corrections. It is this issue that the present study will deal with mainly in connection with some syntactic errors to

Introduction: Grit, an individual’s perseverance and passion for long-term goals, is a mouldable construct with contributions to success in many life domains. Grit’s cultivation in Malaysia can begin with a suitable instrument apt to measure it. The study aims to adapt and validate the Short Grit Scale (Grit-S), the Western-derived instrument t

Hijab wearing among Muslim women is currently seen as a common phenomenon in Malay-sia. Is the religious awareness among them on the rise? Or is it just fashion or a trend? Many studies (Williams and Vashi, 2007; Furseth, 2011) have been conducted to understand factors that influence hijab wearing among Muslim women. Nonetheless, little information
