Power works differently in different society. The norms in the cultural setting show that men play dominant and highly influential role particularly in family decision making. Although the issue of decision making in the family is crucial, the studies on this subject remain limited, particularly in Malaysia. Studies in developing countries indicate

There are many definitions of sustainable transport system, but generally it takes into account the three elements of sustainable development: the economy, the environment and the social well-being when deciding on policy that is affecting transportation activity. This paper examines the urban transport policy and its implications on sustainable tr

The aim of this study is to determine the antilipase and antioxidant activity of Phyllanthus niruri methanolic extract. The inhibitory activity against porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) was determined by measuring the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl butyrate to p-nitrophenol at 405 nm. The crude extract exhibited strong lipase inhibitory activity with an

The development of counseling skills amongst counseling students is an important and one of the primary aims in a counseling program. Effective techniques that are employed would require some exposure for the students to experience the counseling sessions, which include mock counseling sessions. The study, which employed a case study design, focuse

Fruit seeds are usually thrown out as waste during processing or after human consumption. Over the years, researchers have dedicated their effort to assess the food and nutritional values of many different fruit seeds. In this review, the research findings releated to the food values of ten different fruit seeds namely, guava, pumpkin, papaya, hone

Schroeder-phase masking complexes have been used in many psychophysical experiments to examine the phase curvature of cochlear filtering at characteristic frequencies, and other aspects of cochlear nonlinearity. In a normal nonlinear cochlea, changing the “scalar factor” of the Schroeder-phase masker from −1 through 0 to +1 results in a marke

Background: Pressure injuries are a widespread healthcare concern that significantly burdens patients, family members, and caregivers. Knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding preventing pressure injuries among nurses are three crucial factors that may reduce the incidence of pressure injuries. Purpose: This study aims to determine the knowledge

In-vehicle network security is becoming one of the leading research fields in the cybersecurity area. Modern automobiles consist of Electronic Control Units (ECUs), microcontrollers that control the operations of a vehicle. These ECUs are mainly interconnected through an in-vehicle Controller Area Network (CAN), a message-based protocol that allows

The Mean-field dynamics of atomic condensate loaded in two symmetric traps coupled to a reservoir is studied. In this work we discuss the effect of damping on the boson Josephson junction (BJJ) and the macroscopic quantum self-trapping (MQST) states which are peculiar to the dynamics of the two-mode BEC. We found that damping causes the destruction
