The anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activities of plant secondary metabolites are due to their diverse mechanisms of action against multifarious molecular targets such as modulation of the complex immune system associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This review discussed and critically analyzed the potent anti-inflammatory and immunosup

The previous regressor-based control method to control two cooperative manipulators in handling a deformable object leads to complex calculations and complicated programming in experimental hardware tests. There is an existing lack of studies about the development of the controller based on a partial differential equation (PDE)-based model and cons

This study examined the link between foreign aid and human development index (HDI) in African countries using data for 54 African countries from 2013 to 2022. The 2-step system GMM is applied for foreign aid and human development index nexus while the robustness check is done by Difference GMM. The study found a negative relationship between foreig

This study investigates the relationship between government budgets and social development in Africa, considering the moderating effect of government effectiveness. Using data from Human Development Reports and World Bank, we employ the Difference Generalized Method of Moments (DGMM) estimation technique. The findings reveal that past HDI levels si

This paper looks at how Islamic finance-based financial technology (IFT) solutions like eAfricaMuamalat can help to foster social development on a continent where the needs are great like Africa.

Background: Primary Eye Care (PEC) is vital in preventing visual impairment, yet private sector optometrists in Malaysia face barriers that hinder its implementation. This study aimed to develop and validate the Challenges and Attitudes to Practice Primary Eye Care (CAPEC) questionnaire to assess the barriers and attitudes of optometrists in the Ma

Background: Regular breakfast consumption is recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle, as it helps individuals meet their nutritional needs and benefits their mental health, emotional well-being, and positive social interactions. However, the prevalence of breakfast consumption remains low among university students. Therefore, this study aims to

We reported the first complete mitochondrial genome of the Scarlet Fighting Fish, Betta coccina (Vierke, 1979), a species of concern due to its vulnerable status. Genome skimming was performed on a specimen collected from Johor, Malaysia to recover its mitochondrial genome. The assembled complete mitogenome is 16,502 bp in size, comprising the stan

This experimental study investigates the correlation between profitability and corporate governance in Bangladeshi MFIs. The study focuses on Bangladesh Microcredit Regulatory Authority (MRA)—classified extra-large MFIs. The research emphasizes the importance of corporate governance (CG) for these enterprises and discusses governance challenges i
