This book is a part of a study into the social interaction and integration of Muslim converts with Malay Muslims and also non-Muslim Chinese, Indians and others in Malaysia and the changes the converts go through in relating to the cultural norms of their own ethnic groups. After having embraced Islam, there could be new adjustments of culture, cus

The primary human hypertrophic scar and normal skin fibroblasts were successfully established and identified by heat shock protein 47 and fibroblast surface protein markers. However, different patterns of protein expressions were found in cultured fibroblasts from hypertrophic scar and in normal fibroblast skin cells after treatment with the chitos

This paper highlights salient features of the Islamic banking literature during 1995-2005 (section 1). It reports on major developments on the Islamic banking scene in selected Muslim and other countries (section 2). It briefly looks at performance of the banks on the Shari'ah benchmark (section 3). Last but not least, it identifies the directi

The purpose of this paper is to examine the efficiency of the Malaysian banking sector. The technique used by Oliveira and Tabak is extended by employing market data as input and output variables to individual bank stocks, which are listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE). By doing this, the paper aims to broaden the scope of the existing

Karies gigi merupakan suatu penyakit jaringan keras gigi yang ditandai dengan rusaknya email dan dentin oleh aktivitas metabolisme bakteri dalam plak yang menyebabkan demineralisasi jaringan keras gigi. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan untuk mencegah karies , misalnya dengan pengontrolan makanan, instruksi kebersihan mulut , pengontrolan plak dan pem

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of the politically related socio-economic issues, personality of the new Prime Minister and the perceived strength of the ruling party, Barisan Nasional (BN), in influencing the outcomes of elections.

This paper introduces the use of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to evaluate the insulation property of insulators under electron bombardment. An SEM may be used not only to observe a surface image but also to provide a fine electron beam for charging an insulator surface simultaneously. The distribution of electric field created by the surfac

High purity MgO is a common ceramic material used as a protecting layer in an alternating current plasma display panel (AC-PDP). In this work, pure MgO was added by CaO for a better protecting layer. The effect of CaO addition was discussed according to the changes in the microstructure, mechanical strength and the ability of the sample to withstan

Field-induced oxidation has become a promising process that is capable of directly producing high-resolution surface oxide patterns on variety materials. In this report, a low temperature operation of an atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to condense ambient humidity to perform a thin frozen water layer covering a silicon wafer surface. A scann
