Natural medicinal products (NMPs)based especially on herbs and various plants are enjoying growing popularity. The notion that natural ingredients would have less side effects compared to conventional allopathic medicines appear to be the driving factor for the increasing number of NMPs in the market. However, the quality of active ingredients may

I trust that Kee Thuan Chye would approve it if I were to assert that Malaysian politics, at present, particularly since the publication of his last book which I reviewed in this journal, is marked by a dizzying increase in political bullshitting. Kee likes the word bullshit, even though the book under review, Can We Save Malaysia, Please!, does no

This paper presents a steady two-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid over a stretched sheet with non-uniform heat source/sink. The governing equations that govern the fluid flow and heat transfer are solved using the Keller-box method after being reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by a si

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to evaluate the perceived knowledge of the general concept of halal food and actual knowledge of halal food principles with emphasis on alcohol (alcoholic drinks and ethanol). Design/methodology/approach – A cross-sectional descriptive survey, using quantitative research methods, was utilized. A self-admin

All the efforts put in developing questionnaire by a researcher are in vain if it measures what is not intended to measure. A questionnaire can only be useful if it produces meaningful and trustworthy data. The aim of this study was to develop and assess the validity and reliability of an instrument to measure the perception and attitude of diabeti

This paper considers a mathematical analysis for steady two-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid over a stretched sheet. The thermal boundary layer equation takes into account the effect of viscous dissipation along with Ohmic dissipation due to a transverse magnetic field and electric field. The highly non-linear mo

This paper describes the setup and experimental results for an entirely centred erbium-doped fiber laser with passively mode-locked output. The gain medium of the ring laser cavity configuration comprises a 3m length of two-core optical fiber, wherein an undoped outer core region of 9.38 μm diameter surrounds a 4.00 μm diameter central core regio

Recent theoretical and methodological innovations have given rise to novel approaches for conducting investigations in the multitude of disciplines and topics within the social sciences. This research seeks to explore how poststructuralist theory, as one representative of these approaches, can contribute to debates surrounding multicultural politic
