Islamic banking was an abstract concept until the first half of the twentieth century. In Kazakhstan, it has been only three years since the first Islamic bank made its debut. Islamic banks have to compete with their rival, conventional banks, which have far longer history than Islamic banks. This competition urges Islamic banks to know the awarene

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dynamic effects of both Islamic and conventional stock markets development on the economic growth, particularly in Malaysia. The model estimation used to explain the relationship is the autoregressive distributed lag model with the variable of FTSE BM Emas Shariah Index to represent Islamic securities an

This study aims to investigate the impact of the movement of macroeconomic variables upon the Indonesia stock markets, both Islamic and conventional stock markets, by using vector error correction model. The macroeconomic variables employed in the study are exchange rate, economic growth, and inflation within the period of January 2003 to December

Experimental measurements of cross section, σ(E) at very low energies are mainly not available. The rates can be calculated by extrapolation of the astrophysical S-factor to very low energies or determination of the cross section using theoretical models. In this work, we compare the cross section from the theoretical models and experimental data

The concept of de novo metabolic engineering through novel synthetic pathways offers new directions for multi-step enzymatic synthesis of complex molecules. This has been complemented by recent progress in performing enzymatic reactions using immobilized enzyme microreactors (IEMR). This work is concerned with the construction of de novo designed e

Food contamination is a crucial health problem as it could result in food-borne illness. This research aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality in ready-to-eat fried rice dish sold at different type of food premises in Kuantan city, Pahang. Colony forming unit (cfu) in Aerobic colony count, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus were utili

TiO2-SiO2 thin film photocatalysts with 5 (TF95/5) and 10 w/w% (TF90/10) SiO2 contents have been prepared via sol-gel method. Characterization using X-ray diffractormeter and field emission scanning electron microscopy is performed to investigate the effect of SiO2 doping on the TiO2 thin film’s physico-chemical properties. The photocatalytic per

The OIC recognises that performance measurement is an integral component of quality management of academic activities. The quality of performance measurement is vital to a university’s claim about the quality of its management of the curriculum, graduates, and research which define the trust and confidence of stakeholders and the general public.

Aims: The present study aimed at molecular identification of putative Cof-like hydrolase associated with dehalogenase gene from a bacterium that was isolated from a contaminated sea-side area in the Philippines. The bacterium was subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis for identity of the genus and species. Methodology and results: Based on ba
