In this study, biochar was produced from sugarcane bagasse in a modified muffle furnace without using a purging gas at different temperatures; 400˚C to 700˚C with increments of 50˚C at 25˚C/min heating rate. Biochar yields were significantly influenced by the devolatization of biomass during the pyrolysis and were inversely proportional to the

Blastocystis sp. is protozoan parasites that can cause gastrointestinal disorder in human and animal. The study on Blastocystis sp. is rising due to lack of standardized diagnosis and possibility of harmful strains of the organisms (Barua et al., 2015). In Malaysia, the study on cattle was limited. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine morph

Flaxseed comes from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), which has been cultivated for domestic use since prehistoric times. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium has the ability to survive in adverse environments and develop multiple antibiotic resistance mechanisms. This study aims to evaluate the susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeru

Natural polyphenols (NP) play the vital purpose in malignancy prevention and treatment. NP from medicinal plants (MP) and edible plant include phenolic acids, bioflavonoids, tannins, stilbenes, curcuminoids,coumarins, lignans, quinones, and other folks. Many bioactivities of NP materials are conscientious because of their chemo preventive real esta

Polylactic acid (PLA), which is biodegradable, biocompatible, risk-free and eco-friendly is being used extensively in numerous applications such as in food packaging, pharmaceutical, and biomedical. However, PLA is brittle by nature. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the effect of polypropylene carbonate (PPC) contents on the morphologies and

Background A critical thinker may not necessarily be a good decision-maker, but critical care nurses are expected to utilise outstanding critical thinking skills in making complex clinical judgements. Studies have shown that critical care nurses’ decisions focus mainly on doing rather than reflecting. To date, the link between critical care nurse

Objective: In 2014, Malaysia suffered a severe flood disaster and many people lost their home and belongings. Despite regular flooding in this area, the status of community disaster resilience (CDR) is unknown. This paper thus aims to assess the association between demographic characteristics and community disaster resilience factors. Methods: A cr

Background: Treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC) may result in a variety of long term consequences that impair their health and quality of life (QoL). HNC patients often are prone to have a poor health related QoL due to significant changes in vital functions. Despite researches being done in the area cancer survivors’ QoL internationally, th

Background The challenge of recognizing ward-based patients at risk of deterioration is discussed frequently within the relevant literature. Nurses in particular hold the prime position to identify problems at an early stage using systematic patient assessment. However, general ward nurses’ perceived knowledge, attitudes, and practice related to
