Historically, information system (IS) researchers have been determining critical success factors (CSFs) since the 1970s. Meanwhile, most of them have also been performing inductively the CSFs determination in their IS project performance studies. Definitely, each of both methods has strengths and weaknesses, but we argue that researchers and practi

This study was conducted to determine types of educational needs among stroke patients admitted to Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. Stroke patients (n = 41) were conveniently recruited from Medical and Surgical Ward between September to December 2012. Data were obtained using semi-guided administered questionnaires and from the medical reports.

In an institute of higher learning such as the university, developing the right information enterprise architecture is very important to provide the university to be sustainable in the higher learning environment. Previously built system which are developed solely created islands of system within the university and thus makes it hard to be integrat

Sinterability of zinc doped calcium phosphate (CaP) sintered via conventional pressureless and two step sintering methods was investigated. The starting powders have been synthesized through sol-gel method with zinc concentration varied in the range of 0, 1, 4, and 10mol%. After uniaxial pressing, the compacts were sintered via conventional pressur

In general, Muslims: • Live in constant dualism (thoughts and convictions) • Carry nostalgic feelings towards their religious heritage. • Interact with traditional social and religious institutions (immediate families, local communities, schools…etc). However, these empathy feelings are unconsciously mixed up with secular intellectual conce

This paper reports a study on the impact of “Lesson Study” on primary mathematics teachers’ instructions in Brunei Darussalam. The purpose was to determine whether Lesson Study had a positive impact on teachers’ instructions. Quantitative data were collected from; checklists from four research lesson classroom observations, and teachers’

Backgrounds: Incident reporting systems often play a critical role in how high-risk organizations such as aviation, healthcare, and nuclear power generation understand and therefore manage incidents. Integral to the effectiveness of incident reporting systems are reliable and useful error classification systems. Results: In this paper, we dis-cuss

This paper presents a person identification mechanism using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals with abnormal cardiac conditions in network environments. A total of 164 subjects were used in this paper using three different databases containing various irregular heart states from MIT-BIH arrhythmia database (MITDB), MIT-BIH supraventricular arrhythmia

Halal and haram are evaluative concepts that refer to what is permissible or impermissible, respectively, in Islamic law. When applied to minerals, plants, or animals, the duo refers to what is permissible or impermissible to consume therein. There has been upsurge in the production and proliferation of halal products which enormously serves the Mu

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging inherits some limitations, i.e., due to scattered gamma photons which degrade spatial resolution causes poor image quality. This study attempts to reduce a fraction of scattered gamma photons before reaching gamma camera detector by using Fe sheet (0.35 mm and 0.40 mm) as a physical filter.
