Speech enhancement (SE) is a critical aspect of various speech-processing applications. Recent research in this field focuses on identifying effective ways to capture the long-term contextual dependencies of speech signals to enhance performance. Deep convolutional networks (DCN) using self-attention and the Transformer model have demonstrated comp

Pentadbiran keadilan syariah hanyalah sebahagian kecil daripada kerja-kerja kehakiman dalam mahkamah syariah di Malaysia. Namun urusannya amat penting kerana dapat memberikan gambaran keadilan syariah terutamanya sekiranya bidang kuasa mahkamah syariah diperluas. Hal ini demikian kerana peluasan bidang kuasa bermakna bertambah pertuduhan kesalahan

Introduction: Praying represents a fundamental activity of daily living in Muslim community. Muslims need to adopt several postures that require deep flexion of the knee and hip to perform this daily obligation. This is a preliminary report of the study on hip and knee range of motion conducted to obtain normative passive and functional range of fl

Introduction and objective: Aided pure-tone audiometry is often performed on cochlear implant (CI) users to evaluate speech sound accessibility. This study examines the relationship of speech recognition thresholds (SRT) of CI users using 1) Bisyllabic Malay Speech Audiometry (BMSA) and 2) Malay Matrix Sentence Test (MMST) with pure-tone audiometry

Introduction: Testing speech perception is a crucial part of tracking performances of cochlear implant (CI) users however it is not routinely performed in Malaysia because of limited access to speech tests. This study examines the speech recognition thresholds (SRT) of CI users using one in-quiet and two in-noise speech tests: 1) Bisyllabic Malay S

Ewing sarcoma is a primary bone malignancy that rarely occurs in the hand. Resection and reconstruction will usually result in reduced or loss of thumb function. We describe a case of successful transplantation of non- vascularized osteoarticular second metatarsal autograft following wide resection of Ewing sarcoma of first metacarpal in an 11-year

The book argues against the prevalent theory of modernisation and democratisation that the separation between state and religion should be the natural outcome of a modernising Islamic society, similar to the historical trajectory of the West as a liberal political system. Instead, the author shows through her meticulous work in the Middle East that

As the title implies, Will the Middle East Implode? is a book written by renowned scholar on the Middle East, Mohammed Ayoob, to answer the question on the future of one of the most volatile regions in the world. The future of the Middle East is more unpredictable now than ever following the Arab Spring which shook the world in 2011. Rather than ad

Scientists are currently focusing on eco-friendly and non-polluting fuels, and the production of H2 from biomass has recently garnered attention. Valorization of biomass via catalytic gasification has been proposed as a potential solution to the environmental problems associated with CO2 emissions and global warming. Nonetheless, the process genera

The pupose of this study is to look at the effect of infectious disesases on Ibādah issues during the COVID- 19 pandemic. The paper looks into the available Shari’ah rules to be realized in the making of new fatwas issued specifically to help contain the pandemic crisis. The paper has deliberated on issues related to fatwah changes and their cri
