Background: It has been reported that diabetics are more likely to develop tear film dysfunction compared to non-diabetics. Even so, there has been very little research reported on the correlation between blood glucose level and quality of tears. Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of blood glucose level on TBUT amo

The arrival of Islam in Malay world inspired the locals to acquire the knowledge of Islam and provide their children Islamic education. For that purpose, hut type institutes were built which have become the major source of Islamic education. This system was known as pondok, went through several phases of reformation and transformation. This paper a

Among various marine and freshwater fishes, common carp (Cyprinus carpio) has perhaps attracted the most attention from humans across the globe. The high adaptive capacity along with the fast growth, early maturity and high fecundity has enabled common carp to persist and proliferate in a wide array of environments, making them widespread throughou

تعتبر مدرسة الأزهر مصنع متجدد لرجالات الفكر والمعرفة، وذلك لما تميزت به من أخذ بناصية العلم والفكر، ومن تنوع ثقافي ومعرفي عريق. أسست مداميك هذه المدرسة على يدي ثلة من النبلاء، وبفعل التراكمات

This paper discusses about the justifiability of including a provision similar in nature and intent with section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Act 593) into the Syariah Criminal Procedure Enactment (2003) of Selangor. The provision is significant in terms of procedural laws which gives the power to the authorities to detain and interrogate th

Muslim-friendly hotels are targeted to provide shariah-complaint and comfortable rooms especially for the Muslim guests. This is in line with the encouragement of good hospitality in Islam.

The drawbacks of surgery and grafts pertaining to the chronic tendon ailments or aging factor have led to the emergence of promising alternative, engineered tendon tissues. The engineered tissue is capable to mimic the physiological function of the native tissue. The fundamental requirements of a bioreactor system to generate engineered tendon tiss

This paper is a continuation of our previous studies on nonlinear consensus which uni�es and generalizes all previous results. We consider a nonlinear protocol for a structured time-varying synchronous multi-agent system. We present an opinion sharing dynamics of the multi-agent system as a trajectory of non-autonomous polynomial stochastic opera

In this paper, we introduce a new class of the so-called p-majorizing quadratic stochastic operators which is the generalization of the class of quadratic doubly stochastic operators. We provide a criterion for the regularity of p-majorizing quadratic stochastic operators acting on 2D simplex. Some relevant examples are also provided.Theory of Stoc

Cancer is a disease which has high motility rate worldwide. The current treatment has a high potential to kill cancer cells, however it is lacking of specificity and therefore cause the side effects in normal cells. The alternate pathway has been explored including targeting to cancer cells via polyamine transport system (PTS). The PTS activity is
