The present study aims to investigate the determinants of food security in nine developing and least-developed countries of Southeast Asia. By adopting fixed effects model of panel regression with interaction terms, using yearly data (2006-2016), the results showed that all explanatory variables are significant, except agriculture land and Foreign

Microfinance institutions evolved to alleviate poverty by providing micro-credit to the poor. There have been few poverty alleviation success stories from institutions such as Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM). For the majority however, there is no solid evidence to support the positive impacts of microfinance institutions on the poor (Kono and Takahas

Collagens are an important and ubiquitous family of proteins. They have many functions in the human body and similarly have found numerous, potent applications in various industries including the manufacture of biomaterials. The ever-increasing demand for collagen has made necessary the exploration of alternative sources such as bacterial collagen-

The research motivation comes from our observation of a weak social integration between local (Malay) and International students at the International Islamic University Malaysia. It is based on a social experiment where a situation of superordinate goals (i.e., goals that can’t be achieved unless two groups work together) was introduced. Using ob

Reuse of waste materials as reinforcement phase in metal matrix composites is considered as one of the key areas of research due to many advantages such as cost reduction due to abundant availability of the waste materials, unchanged strength of the resulting composites and no special process required for producing composites. In Oman, it is report

Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) find a broader spectrum of applications inconsiderable number of industries globally as AMCs possess excellent mechanical properties at lower mass density. Due to many advantages, researchers continue to find a new generation of materials that offer designers many benefits in converting traditional materials into

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in parathyroid hormone (PTH) level of rabbit foetal bodies exposed to ultrasound at different gestational stages. A total of 9 pregnant rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were insonated for 60 minutes at the middle of 1st, 2nd and 3rd gestational stages for group A (n=14 newborns), group B (n=7 newb
