This article highlights the achievements of Shariah Courts in Malaysia in administering Islamic law especially on the issues of human capital as well as innovations which were introduced by the Department of Shariah Judiciary, Malaysia (JKSM) and the State Department of Shariah Judiciary (JKSN).also aims at fending off some negative notions against

Background: Pre-hypertension is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Chronic inflammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension, with epigenetic dysregulation involvement. Nevertheless, the role of DNA methylation in prehypertensive state is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate th

Electropolymerized conductive polymer (PEDOT:PSS) onto screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) and screen-printed platinum electrodes (SPPEs) were studied for anodic/cathodic peak current and charge/discharge stability. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) for PEDOT:PSS/SPCEs and PEDOT:PSS/SPPEs in potassium ferricyanide K3[Fe(CN)₆] was conducted to determin

Introduction: The mNUTRIC score is a nutritional assessment tool to identify critically ill patients with high nutritional risk who could benefit from nutritional interventions. This study was conducted to validate the 28-day mortality prognostic performance of the mNUTRIC score in a Malaysian intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: This was a retrospe

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

News interview is regarded as a form of institutional talk where the interaction process between the participants differs from an ordinary conversation in which the course of interaction in news interviews is an exchange of question-and-answer (Clayman & Heritage, 2002).

Introduction: Actinomyces naeslundii is an oral microbiome that has been suggested to involve in actinomycosis particularly in immunocompromised patients. However, studies have also shown that the bacterium can inhibit the colonisation of Candida albicans and cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans. Even though various studies have been conducte

The human hexokinase isoform II (HKII) is one of the important enzymes for dengue virus (DENV) replication and thus has been suggested as a potential therapeutic target for DENV drug development. In this work, compounds were identified using Ultrafast Shape Recognition with CREDO Atom Types (USRCAT) by utilizing both HKII’s substrate and product;

Instant Messenger (IM) is one of the quickest developing intra-hierarchical innovations that have been changed organizational communication framework. Intuitiveness, sharing substance, diminishing reaction time are a couple of its attributes that charm the two people and associations. It has been accounted for that 63 per cent associations over the

Magnetic field detection has been widely accepted in many applications such as military systems, outer space exploration and even in medical diagnosis and treatment. Low magnetic field detection is particularly important in tracking of magnetic markers in digestive tracks or blood vessels. The presence of magnetic fields’ strength and direction c
