Walking behaviour in amputees with lower-limb loss is absent from shock-absorbing properties. A damper can be used to reduce the impact of ground reaction force (GRF) during heel strikes. Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) damper is deemed the best option for this application as it includes the advantages of both passive and active dampers. An enhanced

Complete cricotracheal separation, which is the most severe type of laryngeal trauma, is an uncommonly seen injury that clinicians have limited experience in managing. However, it is potentially fatal. Due to limited exposure to this condition, mismanagement can occur, which may further aggravate the patient’s condition. The most crucial part of

Introduction:Systolic Time Interval (STI) is a simple,noninvasive and precise technique to assess left ventricular (LV) function. It measures aortic Pre-Ejection Period (PEP) over Left Ventricular Ejection Time (LVET) from echocardiogram. Thyrotoxicosis will enhance LV function and cause reduction of STI. This study was perform to measure the chang

Deep pelvic abscesses in many instances are very challenging to treat surgically. Presence of many structures within the tight pelvic cavity make surgical intervention very difficult and risky. Posterior transgluteal CT fluoroscopy guided percutaneous drainage of these abscesses is much safer and amendable for treatment. Although technically straig

The Air Pollution Index (API) of Malaysia has increased consistently in recent decades, becoming a serious environment issue concern. In this paper, we analyzed daily integer value time series data for API in Sarawak from January to June in 2019 using generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) family for discrete case namely

Investigating the role of host genetic factors in COVID-19 severity and susceptibility can inform our understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms that influence adverse outcomes and drug development. Here we present a second updated genome-wide association study (GWAS) on COVID-19 severity and infection susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 from t

In general, research in geographical dialects in Malaysia has uncovered dialect distribution based on lexical and phonological differences, which has been the basis of today’s geo-linguistic studies. This study investigated the emotion lexicon, ‘marah’ (angry) and ‘malas’ (lazy), in the dialect of Malay, Langkawi Island. Data were collect

Quadratic stochastic operator (QSO) was initiated by Bernstein in the early 20th century as the mathematical investigation on population genetics, involving the synthesis of Mendelian law of crossing and Galtonian law of regression. Since then, the study of QSO has been significantly developed for decades to describe dynamical systems in many areas

Halal is a term used to describe items and actions that are acceptable in Islam, including food, medication, and way of life decisions. The medical viewpoint is concerned with making sure that goods and services are beneficial and safe for human use. Wet cupping therapy, known as Hijamah, constitutes a medical practice rooted in the teachings of Pr

The occurrence of urban heat islands has become a rising concern in densely populated places, particularly in Klang Valley. Strategies for mitigation are thus needed to reduce urban heat, particularly considering the rising of urbanization, global warming, and the frequency and intensity of heatwaves. The potential of green infrastructure is being
