The book argues against the prevalent theory of modernisation and democratisation that the separation between state and religion should be the natural outcome of a modernising Islamic society, similar to the historical trajectory of the West as a liberal political system. Instead, the author shows through her meticulous work in the Middle East that

This article observes how the individual values and attitudes of consumers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia influence their purchase intention of electric vehicles (EVs) using the well-known theory of reasoned action (TRA). This study analyzed the data collected from 200 respondents from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. These respondents were asked about their vie

The management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has become an environmental concern in Malaysia due to its rapid growth. To address this issue, we tried to investigate the relationship between household’s willingness to pay (WTP) and WEEE management system in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In order to quantify household’s WTP for im

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the importance of social vision of Islam in formulating Islamic education. It has been assumed that due to neglecting the social dimension of Islam, most of the contemporary Islamic educational institutions are incapable of enabling the younger generation to look at the historical context of their lived reali

The strength of any conventional cipher system relies on the underlying cryptographic Boolean functions employed in the system. The design of such systems requires that the employed Boolean functions meet specific security criteria. Two of such criteria are the correlation immunity and resiliency of a given Boolean function. To determine whether su

The performance of energy efficiency in a radio-over-fiber system utilizing M-QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation), OOK (On-Off-keying) and M-PAM (Pulse amplitude modulation) is highlighted. The performance of single channel CO-OFDM and with 10GHz channels pacing at 10-Gb/s data rate is shown through the optisystem for different modulation schemes

A Hierarchical Torus Network (HTN) is a 2D- torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 3D-torus networks that are hierarchically inter- connected for higher-level networks. The combination of link selection and channel selection (LS+CS) algorithm improves the dynamic communication performance of the HTN by efficient use

Introduction: Epigenetic changes, particularly DNA methylation are an important mechanism in the regulation of gene expression. Since DNA methylation occurs without genetic sequence alteration, it offers a new insight on the pathogenesis of various complex diseases like cancer and psychiatric disorder such as schizophrenia. Reelin (RELN) gene encod

In conventional method, insulin is injected subcutaneously two to four times a day before each meal to maintain the serum glucose level of diabetic patients [1]. This multiple injection routine is complex, painful, inconvenient and fear of hypoglycemia. To improve patient compliance and convenience, poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) based sustained
