Teaching practicum is a crucial component of teacher education, providing trainee teachers with real-world classroom experience. However, the transition from theory to practice presents numerous challenges that impact their professional development. This paper explores the difficulties faced by trainee teachers during their teaching practicum, incl

Amlodipine a calcium channel blocker (CCB), is commonly used in treating hypertension, coronary artery disease, and chronic kidney disease. It is considered a first-line treatment for high blood pressure. Amlodipine acts by selectively inhibiting voltage-gated L-type calcium ion channels, which consequently decreases systemic vascular resistance, t

Aims: Current anti-fungal agents possess side effects, including toxicity to human health, requiring longer treatment and are expensive. This study was conducted to evaluate the anti-fungal activity of Piper betle against Trichophyton rubrum. Methodology and results: The aqueous extracts from P. betle leaves were assayed against T. rubrum using 3-(

Background and aims: Antibiotic misuse is an escalating global health concern, especially in Malaysia, resulting in increased resistance and significant public health challenges. Understanding the public’s awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and practices (AKAP) regarding antibiotic use is essential for implementing effective interventions. Therefor

This study presents a novel framework for maximizing Green Waqf value through an artificial neural network-based (ANN) energy management system (EMS). The basic concept of waqf in Islam has long served as a mechanism for wealth distribution and social development. This tradition is historically revolved around religious infrastructure such as mosqu

The ε-containing GABA(A) receptors (GABAARs), a lesser-studied subtype within the GABAAR family, have garnered attention due to their distinct pharmacological properties and potential involvement in brain injury. Zolpidem (ZPM), a widely used Z-drug, is known to induce paradoxical effects in patients with brain injury, although the underlying mole

Introduction: Research has found that there is a need among older people to have strong motivational religiosity to help combat the impact of depression they face later in life. Thus, religious practices among the older generation are warranted to reduce depression. This study aims to identify the association between religious practices among the o

Introduction: Recent advances in orthopaedic research focus on improving bone healing and grafting. Osteopaste, a synthetic bone cement made from tetra-calcium phosphate (TTCP) and tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) has been developed to overcome limitations of traditional bone grafts. This study evaluates the radiographic density and new bone formation t

A chest wall lump is an uncommon clinical finding often indicative of underlying pathology, including abscesses, trauma, congenital deformities, or malignancy. Therefore, a systematic approach to evaluation is crucial. One such rare congenital anomaly is a bifid rib, typically asymptomatic but occasionally presenting as a palpable chest wall mass,

Background: Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders globally, profoundly impacting patient’s quality of life and stretching healthcare resources. Despite technological advances in neuroimaging, early and accurate detection of epileptic foci remains elusive, especially when standard MRI scans appear structurally normal. For cl
