We consider a prototypical two-parameter family of invertible maps of Z2, representing rotations with decreasing rotation number. These maps describe the dynamics inside the island chains of a piecewise affine discrete twist map of the torus, in the limit of fine discretisation. We prove that there is a set of full density of points which,dependi

Background and Aims: Currently, there is a lack of real time metric with high sensitivity and specificity to diagnose sepsis. Insulin sensitivity (SI) may be determined in real time using mathematical glucose insulin models; however, its effectiveness as a diagnostic test of sepsis is unknown. Our aims were to determine the levels and diagnostic va

Introduction: Elevated blood pressure, which includes prehypertension and hypertension, have been found to be high among young adults. However, diagnosis in this age group is often delayed and intervention is suboptimal. Methods and materials: A cross- sectional study involving 240 adults was conducted in Kuantan via purposive sampling according to

Pineapple leaf is a residue mainly from pineapple food industry which is causing environmental problems by its lack of proper waste disposal method. Therefore, it can be utilized as filler for the reinforcement of PLA which is brittle in nature. Treated fiber from pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) was derived through acid hydrolysis method. The morpholog

A prospective study of couple underwent Minimal Ovarian Hyperstimulation (MOH)and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) procedure in Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah from 1st January 2013 till 30th June 2014. This study accomplished to evaluate the effectiveness of MOH+IUl as foremost option in infertility modalities. The intention is to identify favorable

The soil is a transmitted agent of water run-off to the water body. Variety of soil type in Malaysia has contributed to the difference of soil properties dissolved in the water and the concern of soil problem in Malaysia involving from laterite, sandy, acid sulfate and organic soil type. Soil properties are one of the subjects of impacting the hydr

Introduction: Currently, there is a lack of clinically feasible and reliable method for discriminating outcome in sepsis. We aimed to derive a new bioscore for predicting 30-day mortality in sepsis using a combination of biomarkers and clinical indexes. Materials and Methods: This secondary analysis of a prospectively collected data included 159 se

Introduction: Antibiotic therapy is of great importance in sepsis but prolonged duration can add to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. We aimed to examine whether point-of-care (POC) procalcitonin (PCT) guidance can safely reduce the duration of antibiotic use in infected critically ill patients. Materials and Methods: Eighty adult patients ad

Introduction: Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor of cardiovascular diseases in Malaysia. 17.3% of hypertension cases in Malaysia is attributed to adults aged 18 to 39 years. Psychosocial distress is a possible risk factor for elevated blood pressure in young adults, and cortisol could be the mediating factor. The aim of this study is to

Pentadbiran Mahkamah Syariah di Malaysia bukan hanya tertakluk kepada Mahkamah Syariah semata-mata. Beberapa agensi lain juga turut serta demi untuk memastikan pentadbiran Mahkamah Syariah memenuhi kriteria sebagai satu sistem yang memberi keadilan kepada masyarakat Islam. Antara agensi yang sangat penting untuk mendakwa kes-kes di Mahkamah Syariah
