Lecturers in teacher training institute are encouraged to conduct research and are given the opportunities to present the research findings in conferences or to publish them in journals. However, the number of articles produced yearly is not promising compared to the number of lecturers in the institution. This study seeks to examine the factors wh

Fabrication of ion-selective sensors for continuous measurement in fluids depends on understanding the electrochemical and morphological properties of transducers. Electropolymerized nanomaterials essentially offer stable transducers that can reduce measurement drifts. This study aims to elucidate the electrochemical and morphological characteristi

In this study, the roots of Garcinia hombroniana were chemically investigated, in which novel derivatives of xanthone and benzophenone, known as garcihomxanthone (1) and garcihombrianone (2), respectively, together with garceduxanthone (3), cheffouxanthone (4), norathyriol (5), and 2,3′,4,5′-tetrahydroxy-6-methox- ybenzophenone (6) were isolate

Oil and gas projects are inherently complex and volatile in nature. These projects expose to risks in all phases and milestones commencing from the feasibility phase to the operational stage, where there is a tendency that the operations will not run efficiently and does not turn out exactly as planned. In this regard, the project risk relates to t

Introduction: Monosodium methylarsonate (MSMA) is an organic arsenical pesticide widely used in agriculture. Exposure to arsenic has been linked with multiple health problems. Inflammatory genes such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) play an important role in pathophysiology of exposure to an acute high dose arsenic-mediated nephroto

Objectives: Young men are at higher cardiovascular risk compared to the female counterparts. Since cortisol could have a role in the pathophysiology of cardiometabolic syndrome, it could contribute to the observed intersex risk difference. The aim of this study is to examine the association between cortisol level and the cardiometabolic parameters

Introduction: Melioidosis is endemic in Malaysia and an important cause of sepsis. Current gold standard for diagnosis is by culture method,but its long procedure will delay the treatment leading to hospital-related mortality.Thus,a good rapid test is needed to reduce its mortality burden. Recently, Active Melioidosis Detect (AMD) have been shown t

Bioremediation offers a sustainable approach for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the environment; however, information regarding the microbial communities involved remains limited. In this study, microbial community dynamics and the abundance of the key gene (PAH-RHDα) encoding a ring hydroxylating dioxygenase involved in P

International migration has drawn much attention from social scientists in recent decades and large-scale migration has become a permanent and substantive part of global socio-economic development. There are many kinds of migration, from refugees to skilled migrants. The migration of highly skilled people from developing to developed countries is k

Fish gelatin nanoparticle is produced using Tilapia fish skin for the first time by the two-step desolvation method. Fish gelatin is chosen for producing gelatin nanoparticles because no experiment have been done in using fish gelatin and to counter the problem associated with the use of mammalian gelatin, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy d
