Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a major health threat worldwide pandemic, first identified in Malaysia on 25 January 2020. This outbreak can be represented in the mathematical expressions of a non-linear system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). With the lack of a predictive SEIRD model in terms of Graphical Users Interface (GUI) in Malay

This project focuses on the development of a website system designed to facilitate knowledge acquisition for students enrolled in the Kulliyyah of Information Communication and Technology (KICT) at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The aim is to alleviate the information overload experienced by new intake students during the Taa

INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease affecting millions worldwide. In the orthopaedic field, viscosupplementation is widely used as an option treatment for pain relief among osteoarthritis patients as it acts as a lubricant in the joints. Tualang Honey Formulation (THF), a patented (patent no. MY179303-A) viscosupplemen

Stress has diverse effects on human physiological reactions, and one such effect is on heart rate (HR). The established methods to acquire HR is by electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG). ECG electrodes need to be placed on the chest, which can cause inconvenience and is not practical in daily life, while PPG signals are known to cont

The number of divorce cases in Malaysia has increased despite that the law provides reconciliation process to re-unite the couple in dispute.

Background and Purpose: Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca are the two most common pathogens causing nosocomial infections in humans and are of great concern for developing multidrug resistance. In the present study, K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca from clinical samples were evaluated for their antibiotic sensitivity patterns against commonl

Dense bioceramics with improved mechanical properties have been prepared using sol–gel derived zinc doped biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) powders. Zinc concentration was varied in the range of 0,1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 15mol%. The compaction of the powders followed by sintering provided the dense ceramics. The effects of zinc concentration doped and

Most reported works on fingertip detection focus on extended fingers where the hand is not occluded by another object. This paper proposes a machine-vision-based technique exploiting the contour of the hand and fingers for detecting the fingertips when the hand is manipulating a ball, which means that the fingers are closed and the hand is partiall

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Prehypertension is a precursor of hypertension, with high prevalence in young adults. Psychosocial stress can be one of the modifiable risk factors for hypertension. The objective of the study is to assess the relationship between coping m

Introduction: Preoperative templating is a crucial step in a total knee arthroplasty. We conducted a prospective study of 100 patients subjected for total knee arthroplasty. The aim of this study is to determine whether the size of the prostheses used in primary knee arthroplasty may be reliable and accurately predicted using acetate templating tec
