Sodium potassium niobate (KNN) is the most promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric material, owing to its high Curie temperature and piezoelectric coefficients among the non-lead piezoelectric. Numerous studies have been carried out to enhance piezoelectric properties of KNN through composition design. This research studied the effects of y

This paper aims to bring to attention the state of takaful or Shariah compliant insurance industry in Malaysia. It provides a review on takaful and its performance in Malaysia and highlights issues and challenges it faced. The review is undertaken through a detail desk study. The outcome of the review suggests that the penetration growth of takaful

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively an organization is achieving its main objectives. At IIUM, academics are allocated forty (40) hours working time in a week to achieve KPIs comprise of teaching, research, publication, supervision, consultancy and administration. Academics are said to spend more

The amphoteric dopant effects on dielectric and structural properties of KNN were studied. The trace amounts of dopant were incorporated into the KNN lattice and formed the orthorhombic perovskite structure. The distribution of yttrium dopant on the perovskite lattice is responsible for enhancement of dielectric behaviors of KNN films. The dielectr

Objectives/Research Problem: The prevalence of chronic osteomyelitis remains high. The management of this disease poses a major challenge in orthopaedic. It is difficult to achieve an optimum or a definitive cure and to prevent serious complications. Orthopaedic implant infection is chronic and biofilm based. Current treatments for bone infection i

Arborinine is an acridone alkaloid found exclusively in Rutacae family has been shown to inhibit proliferation of a wide variety of cancer cell lines. The present study is aimed to isolate and investigate the anti-proliferative activity of arborinine, isolated from a Malaysian Rutaceae, G. pentapylla (Retz. D) on human mammary gland adenocarcinoma,

Mangroves forest plays an important role, ecologically and socioeconomically, which should be highly recognized on conservation program. However, mangrove areas of many Asian countries have been cleared for aquaculture activities, in particular, was mainly for shrimp aquaculture. From 1980 to 1990, Peninsular Malaysia also challenged the same probl

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysis that is important to speed up reaction. Enzymes can be found naturally from the microorganism such as bacteria, fungi and yeast which may not be genetically modified. In this perspectives, resorting to bioremediation to clean-up such environment may prove feasible and beneficial as microorganisms effe

The regulators and policy makers of Bangladesh are very much aware about the impact of climate change and pollution on the economy and quality of life of the citizens. This concern is manifested by the efforts to introduce the green banking policy and guidelines where green practices are promoted among the investors, financiers and businessmen. How

The paper examines the dating of writings on Islam originating in the Malay world in the form of either treatise (risālah) or book (kitāb) as there are disagreements on the date of the advent of Islam in the region. The researchers revisit the polemic of the topic of the oldest known Malay manuscript between the „Aqā‟id al-Nasafī by anonymo
