Apart from being an economic endeavor the social dimension of globalization means accepting religious pluralism or multiculturalism by recognizing and accepting religious validity and equality between religions; it holds that religious truth is not the exclusive property of one religion but is available through the teachings of different religions

Purpose – Being the gatekeeper of Shari’ah compliance and holding the responsibilities to mitigate Shari’ah non-compliance risks are among the main roles of the Shari’ah Committee members. The purpose of this study is to gather perceptions of the Shari’ah Committee members on what and how they safeguard and strengthen their independence i

The growth of polymer-based composites from either synthetic or natural fibres, especially carbon and kenaf fibres as reinforcement, has gained major interest in many pieces of research. However, only a little attention has been made that compared the mechanical performances of these developed composites based on previous studies. In fact, this com

Hybrid composites from combinations of synthetic and natural fibers have experienced a considerable interest among researchers due to its excellent characteristics. One of the drivers for this development owing to the ability of synthetic and natural fibers to compensate for the limitation of one another. Thus, the current effort works on the fabri

In the current project, Kenaf fiber (K) and carbon fiber (C) with epoxy resin were utilized to form carbon-kenaf hybrid composites using a vacuum infusion technique. The volume fraction of fiber and thickness of a hybrid composite was fixed at 40 vol.% and 3mm, respectively. Four different sequences were introduced in the current project including

Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of commercial plastic laminating paper wrapping in preventing microbiological contamination of ready to eat (RTE) street burgers. Methods: About 21 samples of RTE burgers, which were prepared and wrapped using plastic laminating papers were purchased to determine their micr

Although flame synthesis promises economic benefit and rapid synthesis of carbon nanotube (CNT), the lack of control and understanding of the effects of flame parameters (e.g., temperature and precursor composition) impose some challenges in modelling and identifying CNT growth region for obtaining better throughput. The present study presents an i

This study was aimed to investigate the association of serum adipokines and vitamin D level with the risk of breast cancer. A case-control study was conducted on 78 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and 86 healthy women, aged 21 to 59 years. Level of serum HMW adiponectin, visfatin, vitamin D and anthropometric parameters were determined. Me

The electroreduction of peroxodisulfate has been studied on various electrode materials for decades. However, the reduction of peroxodisulfate is not fully understood to date. Many research groups have searched for an electrode material that exhibits a diffusion-controlled response in the electroreduction of peroxodisulfate. However, the voltammetr

This paper seeks to introduce the general reader to the history of Muslim–Buddhist dialogue, reviewing early instances of interreligious conversation between the two traditions, while also offering a speculative reflection on the Lotus Sutra from an Islamic perspective and highlighting some points of contact between the spirituality of this Buddh
