The widespread transmission of the new coronavirus disease COVID-19 has caused great psychological distress across diverse populations in many countries. Antenatal women are at greater risk of emotional instability and vulnerability due to hormonal changes, and multiple maternal roles. This paper aims to determine the common types of psychological

This study aims to provide insights on how and why a specialised training programme could help graduates with low performance to compete fairly in the job market. This study used an action research design, where a total of 12 graduates with low academic achievement were trained under a specialised training programme consisting of two phases within

Takaful has made significant contributions to the Islamic financial market in Malaysia, of which the three leading indicators of economic growth include savings, investment, and income.

A survey by the Credit Counselling and Debt management Agency (AKPK) found that 1 out of 3 Malaysians rated themselves as having a low level of confidence about fi

The prevalence of maternal postnatal depression (PND) varies from 0% to 60% globally. This wide variety brings up the issue of whether PND is a universal medical condition or whether it is an idea impacted by cultural and social translations, and the labelling of signs and symptoms. The objective of this review was to understand women’s experienc

Purpose: To explore the understanding of PND and experience of managing women with PND among Malaysian healthcare practitioners (HCPs).

CO2 capturing has become very significant option to reduce the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere and hence, minimizing environmental issues.Among solid CO2 sorbent, calcium oxide (CaO) is an attractive regenerable sorbent for CO2 capturing because of their reactivity and high CO2 absorption capacity. CaO alone suffers from rapid decay of CO2 adsorp

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the method in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. CO2 capturing using calcium oxide (CaO) solid sorbents has been considered as an advanced concept for CO2 capture and recovery. However, the adsorption capacity of CaO decreases during repeated adsorption/desorption cycles. The stab
