BACKGROUND A polypill comprising statins, multiple blood-pressure–lowering drugs, and aspirin has been proposed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. METHODS Using a 2-by-2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly assigned participants without cardiovascular disease who had an elevated INTERHEART Risk Score to receive a polypill (containing 40

Purpose – This study aims to examine the metal pollution in coastal sediment in the Peninsular Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – Approximately 141 published studies were screened from 1,285 documents and reviewed to determine the existing pollution status in the coastal areas of Peninsular Malaysia and the metals under review were Pb, Hg,

There are many existing problems in Hadith studies trending in the study field. The issues are changeable from the digitalization of the Hadith data to an exact case study of estimation of narrators’ chain for a particular Hadith. However, in this paper, we are not concentrating on the such learning of estimating, confirming or authenticating a H

In this work we estimate stiffness derivatives for an oscillating non-slender axi-symmetric cone in pitch at Mach number greater than five. Results indicate that there is continous decrease in the stiffness derivative with the rise in the semi vertex angle for all the Mach number. The variation in the stiffness derivative is only visible for Mach n

Premature ageing can be seen through the formation of wrinkles and altered pigmentation earlier than it should be. Due to premature ageing and high demand for a mask that can dry faster with easy application, peel-off mask can be used to solve the problems due to its ability to remove dead skin cells and able to treat premature ageing with the addi

Introduction: Pediculosis capitis has been a worldwide concern among the vulnerable population of primary school children due to the physical, economical and psychological consequences that it brings to both the children and their caretakers.

The developments of agricultural-based composites for structural applications such as in construction, aerospace, and automotive have gained tremendous interest from researchers due to the uniqueness of its behaviors. Among available agricultural fibers, kenaf fiber widely adopted as a reinforcement in polymer composites to form kenaf reinforced po

This article tries to analyze the models of Islamic movements in post-reformation Indonesia. The major research problem posed is to highlight the main theoretical underpinnings of the momentum of reformation and its impact on various movements, particularly the Islamic ones. The focus here is to explain how these Islamic movements have developed st

: Failure in addressing students’ needs in the context of student learning experiences may lead to negative impact on the image of higher education. Framed in self-determination theory, this study examined students’ relatedness on most satisfying experiences in their respective universities. Participants’ (N=1974) responses to open-ended ques
