This paper describes the design and development of the Smart Eye Assistive device. The domain of Finger-Worn assistive devices as user interfaces has only recently begun to be explored and the miniaturization of technology has enabled us to develop a device, which utilizes natural pointing gestures to connect the user with his/her surroundings. In

Recently, Malaysia has experienced a palpable surge in populism that has swept across the nation’s political and social landscape, stirring debate and discord. The case of Akmal Saleh, leader of UMNO’s youth wing, and the unfortunate saga concerning socks adorned with the word “Allah” serve as a poignant reflection of this trend. This incid

The goal of this work is to conduct a transient compressor blade row flow simulation as part of blade flutter modeling. An integral step of blade flutter modeling is the calculation of the aerodynamic damping factor as a function of the possible vibration mode shapes. Using Fourier method, the number of blade passages required for transient flow an

Increasing interest on autism brings about prospect of use of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) method as an assistive tool for therapy. This article presents a review of contemporary topic related to HRI studies to facilitate the improvement of joint attention and imitation skill for ASD children. This review highlights the relevance of past research.

This scoping review examines spiritual care in palliative settings from the perspective of Hindu family caregivers, utilizing articles from ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, and applying the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool. By analyzing eleven studies published between 2019 and 2023, we uncover how Hindu spirituality influences c

Abstract: The study of resonances of Hamiltonian systems with a divided phase space is a well-established area of research which attracted the interests of many researchers over the years. One can study such resonances over a discrete space. This paper focuses on the rotational motion of the orbits in the 3-dimensional lattice, ℤ3. We construct d

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate inter-session repeatability, inter-examiner reproducibility and inter-device agreement of corneal power measurements from manual keratometer, autokeratometer, topographer, Pentacam high resolution and IOLMaster. Methods: Two sets of mean corneal power measurements (n=40) were compared for inte

Objectives/Research Problem: Degenerative joint disease normally affects older population which eventually disturb patient’s mobility. Current available prescriptions and surgical procedures are incapable to cure the disease completely due to the nature of avascular cartilage. Gene transfer and tissue engineering have emerged as promising approac

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a major component of cartilage matrix. This essential polysaccharide has the capacity to attract water molecules. Such capacity is important in cartilage primarily because it absorbs shock and provides lubrication in joint. Cartilage degeneration is often a normal ageing change. Along the process, the cartilage cell; chon

Purpose: To evaluate the formation of in vitro 3D tissue constructs engineered from the SOX9 and TERT genes post-transfected chondrocytes seeded on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA) based scaffolds. Methods: With the approval of Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC,IIUM), the post-transfected rabbits’ chondrocytes were seeded on t
