Background: Although glue sniffing has been linked with significant morbidity and mortality, it is still under-researched and poorly recognized issue globally. Objective: A scoping review was performed to identify the factors and outcomes related to glue sniffing in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. Methods: Ten databases; Medline via Ovid, Go

In this paper, the λ-model with nearest neighbor interactions is considered with competing Potts interactions on the Cayley tree of order-two. Notice that if λ-function is taken as a Potts interaction function, then this model reduces to the Potts model with competing interactions. The Potts model with considered interactions has only been numeri

Oral candidiasis is typically caused by diploid yeast, Candida albicans through the colonization of the yeast. Which may cause oral tissue damage and tissue invasion. The limitation of antifungal drugs such as problem with resistance development has led researchers to investigate the potential use of natural product as new target for antifungal dru

Treating and cleaning corroded artefact has resulted in long-term loss of artefact integrity and intangible historical value in museum preservation method. Inhibitors and coatings are preferable methods applied in heritage conservation as it is the easiest way for corrosion protection. However, issue of health and environment has led conservators t

Virtual reality (VR) is a fast-growing technology in the world today. Many countries use virtual reality for many purposes such as education, military and entertainment. Despite the benefits of VR, harmful effects of VR on the users are still inconclusive. With only a few reliable studies that investigate the effect of virtual reality on the users

Petroleum, petrochemical or oil and gas industry is one of the important industrial sectors in Malaysia. The safety in the workplace is one of the vital issues that need to be taken seriously. Every worker should know about the occupational safety and health organization to protect them from any accidents and injuries. The purpose of this study was

Introduction: Hearing acuity, central auditory processing and cognition contribute to the speech recognition difficulty experienced by older adults. Therefore, quantifying the contribution of these factors on speech recognition problem is important in order to formulate a holistic and effective rehabilitation. Objective: To examine the relative con

Sustainable micro-alloyed materials play a major role in advanced technology for the development of optimum material integrity properties in various structures. During the past decades, efforts have focused on high strength low alloy steels (HSLA) to expand its application to various fields such as shipbuilding, oil and gas pipelines, building cons

Abstract: This research work focuses on investigating the lubricity and analyzing the engine characteristics of diesel–biodiesel blends with fuel additives (titanium dioxide (TiO2) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC)) and their effect on the tribological properties of a mineral lubricant. A blend of palm–sesame oil was used to produce biodiesel using

The demand for renewable energy is steadily increasing due to rapid population growth and economic development worldwide. An additional reason is that fossil fuel reserves are limited, and this situation results in their non-uniform availability globally. Furthermore, the attitudes of the society, energy policies and technology choices are constant
