English is undoubtedly an important language for educational and socioeconomic mobility in numerous countries including Malaysia. Regardless of its importance, studies to document English language acquisition among Malaysian children acquiring English in the local context remain scarce. This normative data is imperative for syllabus-designers, poli

The Arabic manuscripts are known for their historical role as dynamic tools for restoring Muslim's historical identity and records. It covers a wide range of areas and fields, including military technology. The military engineer Captain Ibrāhīm ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ghānim ibn Zakariyyā al-Andalusī (d. 1641 AD) produced a remarkab

COVID-19 has brought substantial morbidity and mortality to the world, Malaysia and the state of Pahang. The recent surge in the number of brought-in-dead cases and overburdened healthcare has made the condition worse. The current spread of the variant of concern, the delta variant, has become a threat to the campus. Thus, the IIUM Kuantan Campus O

The term medical cannabis is not just a recent phenomenon but has long been introduced and used in the community. Many countries have legislatively amended cannabis from controlled to lesser regulated or unregulated substance groups – depending on the approved usage for either one, two, or all purposes of medical, recreational, and industrial pur

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire identifying the perceived adherence status among T2DM patients. This study used the exploratory sequential mixed method. Phase 1 of the study involved nine experts from the related field for the content validation, seven diabetes patients for the cognitive interview and 50 diabetes p

In the original version of Processability Theory (PT) by Pienemann (1998), the development of learners’ L2 morphology and syntax are analysed in the same hierarchy/schedule. In Pienemann, Di Biase and Kawaguchi (2005), the analysis of learners’ L2 syntax, inspired by developments in Lexical Functional Grammar (Bresnan 2001), was extended to enc

Introduction: The prediction of long-term prognosis or outcome of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is important for prognostication and administration purposes. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was developed in order to estimate organ failure in patients with sepsis. Organ failures have been associated wi

Introduction: Creatinine kinetics denotes that under steady state conditions creatinine production (G) will equal creatinine excretion rate (E). The glomerular filtration (GFR) is impaired when excretion is less than production. The kinetic estimate of GFR (keGFR) was and E/G ratio were proposed as a more accurate estimate of GFR in the acute setti

INTRODUCTION: Accurate assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important in the critically ill. Kinetic estimate of GFR (keGFR) considers the changes of creatinine, creatinine production rate, and volume of distribution hence postulated to be a more accurate estimate of GFR, where there are rapidly changing kidney functions. We evaluated

This study was conducted at horseshoe crab’s natural spawning ground in Johor Lama, Kota Tinggi, Johor, Malaysia (1°35'00"N 104°00'49"E). Six nests were excavated on 4 August 2020, four hours after the highest tide. Type of reclamation, and fishery activities in the spawning site were observed. Grain size analysis was conducted
