Purpose – This research paper aims to explore the perceptions of Muslim consumers of the degree of compliance of Malaysian businesses to Islamic marketing practices and promotional strategies. Design/methodology/approach – The perceptions of the Muslim consumers were examined by distributing a self-administered survey questionnaire to a sample

This case study illustrates the design of a new performance measurement and management system for a Malaysian international higher learning institution (HLI). The case describes the processes involved in the design and implementation of a central system and the cascading to all kulliyyahs , centres, divisions, and institutes. It explores the reason

Being able to drive a car is a major step towards independence for people with disabilities, but the conventional driving system installed in a car is not equipped with the utility for the disabled driver to drive the vehicle. Thus this paper presents the development of a new driving system for a disabled driver. In this work modification was made

The Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) test has been a long standing test method to quantify the amount of biodegradable organic matter present in a water sample. The test is typically conducted over a 5-day period (BOD5), with the sample being incubated at 20°C. It has been a long standing assumption that over the 5-day period, most of the organic s

In this paper, a virtual wheelchair (WC) model is developed within Visual Nastran (VN) software environment where the model is further linked with Matlab/Simulink for control purposes. The goal is to have stable two-wheeled WC by transforming the two front wheels (caster) to the upright position. Theoretically, when the two big wheels are fed by th

In this paper, an optimisation technique is adopted to manipulate the input and output scaling of a fuzzy logic controller for lifting the front wheels of a wheelchair and stabilizing the wheelchair in two-wheeled mode. A virtual wheelchair (WC) model is developed within Visual Nastran (VN) software environment where the model is further linked wit

The standard management for the majority of benign jaw cysts is enucleation, marsupialisation, curettage and decompression. Enucleation has the advantage that the whole specimen is sent for microscopic evaluation so that more sinister pathological processes (i.e. squamous cell carcinoma) may not be missed. In a large cystic lesion, enucleation is s

Hypertension is being identified in younger population. The prevalence of hypertension in Malaysia is 42.6% which contributes to the rising incidence of cardiovascular disease. The objective of the study is to assess the central aortic systolic pressure (CASP) and cardiovascular risk profile to young hypertensives in rural Malaysia. A total of 484

Organophosphate (OP) is one of the widely used pesticides worldwide. It has been shown to induce oxidative stress in both animal and human. Oxidative stress may stimulate the oxidation of lipoprotein particularly the low density-lipoprotein (LDL) which is known to promote atherogenesis. PON1 is high density-lipoprotein (HDL) related enzyme which is

The Department of Architecture, Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), had had conducted a horizontal studio management system for the last 11 years of its operation. The same system has also been used by most of the schools of architecture through out the globe. However, due to
