The effective implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity’s objective of ‘fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources’ is vital for the realisation of its two other objectives: ‘the conservation of biological diversity’ and ‘the sustainable use of its components’. ‘Gree

The objective of this research is to analyse comprehensively the default risk of sukuk in Indonesia. It discusses the analysis of default probability of sukuk in Indonesia bond market, and, to find the relationship of default probability of sukuk with the systematic and unsystematic risks. To achieve the objective, Merton model is used to identify

This article presents a theoretical proposition based on stakeholder theory for better Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices, specifically in the context of Malaysia. The aim of this article is to argue the need for a government initiative to help empower local communities and transform them into legitimate and powerful stakeholders. An u

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are hydrophobic biodegradable thermoplastics that have received considerable attention in biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and biodegradability. In this study, the degradation rate was regulated by optimizing the interaction of parameters that influence the enzymatic degradat

Next Generation Networks (NGN) both static and mobile are expected to be fully Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) based. Mobility in IPv6 (MIPv6) network was designed to provide Internet services to end users at anytime and anywhere. However, MIPv6 is not widely deployed yet due to handoff latency and other limitations leading to packet loss and Qu

Objectives/Hypothesis: To study the association between sleep apnea and hypertension in a younger age group than previously studied, adding upper airway sizes at endoscopy as important compounding variables not often included in the past. Study Design: Case control. Methods: We analyzed data on sleep-disordered breathing (based on polysomnography t

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is one of the pioneer standards that support mobility in IPv6 environment. It has been designed to support different types of technologies for providing seamless communications in next generation network. However, MIPv6 and subsequent standards have some limitations due to its handoff latency. In this paper, a fuzzy logic based

Objectives: To study the association between sleep apnea and hypertension in a younger age group than previously studied. Methods: We analyzed data on sleep-disordered breathing (based on polysomnography tests), body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, upper airway endoscopy sizes, and habitus and health history in 120 hypertensive and 120 nonhyp
