A considerable number of Malaysian libraries are housing Arabic collections to support the needs of their users. Currently, there is no bibliographical database of scholarly articles published in Arabic periodicals available in Malaysian libraries. To know what is published in Arabic periodicals a researcher has to check these voluminous journals m

From an interdisciplinary framework anchored theoretically in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and using Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), this article proposes to explain the (de) legitimization strategies employed by Arab leaders and to study the linguistic choices associated with those schemes. The strategy of legitimization through emotio

The fabrication of strontium hydroxyapatite (SrHA) porous scaffolds was accomplished by using polymeric sponge method. To prepare the porous samples, the synthesized SrHA nanopowders were mixed with distilled water and appropriate amount of dispersing agent followed by drying in the ambient air and sintering at 1300°C. The compressive strength of

Halogenated compounds are recalcitrant environmental pollutants prevalent in agricultural fields, waste waters and industrial by-products, but they can be degraded by dehalogenase-containing microbes. Notably, 2-haloalkanoic acid dehalogenases are employed to resolve optically active chloropropionates, as exemplified by the D-specific dehalogenase

The term team-work has been a significant topic in software engineering over the past 50 years. The team climate is the exchange of ideas and perceptions among team members in favor to promote the innovation in work processes. In this paper, we presented our work on a systematic review on the effect of team climate on the software productivity or p

This paper reports a study on the impact of “Lesson Study” on primary mathematics teachers’ instructions in Brunei Darussalam.

In general, Muslims: • Live in constant dualism (thoughts and convictions) • Carry nostalgic feelings towards their religious heritage. • Interact with traditional social and religious institutions (immediate families, local communities, schools…etc). However, these empathy feelings are unconsciously mixed up with secular intellectual conce

Sinterability of zinc doped calcium phosphate (CaP) sintered via conventional pressureless and two step sintering methods was investigated. The starting powders have been synthesized through sol-gel method with zinc concentration varied in the range of 0, 1, 4, and 10mol%. After uniaxial pressing, the compacts were sintered via conventional pressur

Aims: To investigate bacterial and fungal community structure during degradation of varying concentrations (0–5000 mg kg �1) of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) fluoranthene in the presence or absence of tomato plants. Method and Results: Fluoranthene amended or unamended growing media, with or without a plant, were incubated in pots i

This paper examines the theme of the evolution of Sufi institutions from the realm of the mosque institution to independent and self-governing bodies and establishments which catered to the needs of the ever-proliferating Sufi community.
