Raw and treated leachate collected from Jerangau-Jabor Landfill Site (JJLS), Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia were analyzed for the content of cadmium and chromium. The presence of these heavy metals was monitored and analyzed using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). The metal analyses results were compared with standard value limits from the En

This study describes the synthesis, characterization and application of dithiocarbamate-immobilized silica coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4-CPTS-DTC) as an adsorbent for separation and preconcentration of trace lead in shellfish. The adsorbent was characterized using FTIR, SEM and XRD. The extraction efficiency of Fe3O4-CPTSDTC was analysed usi

A take-up rate of microtakaful products depends very much on the awareness, knowledge and understanding of the targeted customer segment. Malaysian microtakaful programmes target the Bottom 40% (B40) of society with literacy and awareness. Due of the poor penetration rate of microtakaful goods despite the takaful operators' vast product offerin

Decellularization of sonication system efficiency is dictated by evaluation of host immune response on scaffolds. This aim of this study is to examine the inflammatory response after implantation of bioscaffolds decellularized by sonication treatment at 35 days postsurgery in rats. In this study, aortic tissues decellularized by sonication treatmen

Poor aqueous solubility of drugs results in poor absorption and bioavailability. The objective of solid dispersion technology is to increase the dissolution properties of highly lipophilic drugs, by using different hydrophilic carriers thereby improving their bioavailability. This technology is useful for enhancing the dissolution, absorption and t

We analyze the influence of electron irradiation on the electroluminescence spectra of white light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on indium gallium nitride. Three different irradiation fluences, 9.90×1015 , 1.32×1016 and 1.98×1016 cm-2 , are studied. For all 27 samples of LEDs of the commercially available models VAOL-5GWY4, VAOL-10GWY4 and OVL-33

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND The transformation of the aging population in Malaysia carries a significant healthcare burden in chronic diseases like Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D). METHODOLOGY This study aims to measure the patients’ diabetes control and to identify its related factors among elderly diabetic patients in Kuantan. This cross-sectional s

Loneliness is a pervasive issue affecting people of all ages, particularly the elderly. It is a growing public health issue, particularly among the elderly population. As the proportion of older adults continues to rise globally, including in Malaysia, addressing this has become a priority. It can lead to various adverse effects, including mental h

This study examines the issue of dealing with unlawful sources of fund among Islamic Banks in Malaysia from the practitioners’ perspective. It investigates the practice of the bank in Malaysia in dealing with unlawful sources of fund with respect to accepting deposit for safe keeping and investment and providing financial facilities to customers

The traditional houses in Ghardaia City in Algeria had been built using traditional construction materials and passive solar design (PSD) strategies for the hot desert climate. These thousand-year-old houses are still standing and conditioning the harsh desert climate while maintaining indoor thermal comfort for its occupants. Of late, two trends o
