INTRODUCTION: Number of active smokers in Malaysia is increasing despite availability of stop smoking clinics and smoking cessation medications. Thus, the practice of the healthcare professionals involved in providing smoking cessation intervention using evidence based guidelines needs to be assessed using validated assessment tool. Newly invented

The main objective ofthis chapter is to discuss and deliberate on the contribution of Ibn AI-Awwam in relation to the advancement of botanical science and agriculture. The significance of this chapter is for the people especially the new generations to appreciate the findings and thinking of the people of historical age, particularly the Muslim'

The objective of this study is to highlight AI-Jazari contribution in the development of water supply system. The significance of the study is that it places emphais on AI-Jazari and his inventions which laid the foundation for the machinery of irrigation and machine design. The methodology adopted in this research is library based and data is coll

The number of youths involved in crime and who show disregard for law and order is on the rise. What is more disturbing is the rise of violent crimes committed by them. The author argues that these concerns need to be addressed seriously. Pertinent questions need to be answered to understand the underlying reasons. This article is divided into thre

A measurement is presented of differential cross sections for t-channel single top quark and antiquark production in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. From a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1, events containing one muon or electron and two or three jets

A search in an all-jet final state for new massive resonances decaying to WW, WZ, or ZZ boson pairs using a novel analysis method is presented. The analysis is performed on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 77.3 fb−1 recorded with the CMS experiment at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The search is focussed on potenti

Twelve measurements of inclusive cross sections of W± and Z boson production, performed in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, are compared with perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculations at next-to-nextto-leading order (NNLO) accuracy obtained with the CT14, HERAPDF2.0, MMHT14, and NNPDF3.0 parton distributio

The momentum-weighted sum of the electric charges of particles inside a jet, known as jet charge, is sensitive to the electric charge of the particle initiating the parton shower. This paper presents jet charge distributions in √sNN = 5.02 TeV lead-lead (PbPb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. These data

Though always ethnic in nature, the Western Balkans has never been so divided into ethnic cleavages as it is today. The three post Yugoslav countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, and Kosovo have opted for a sort of consociational and centripetal constitutional systems, pertaining to provide enough say and representation to ethnicities,

Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) is a Malaysian initiative trust fund that was established in 1990 with the basic aim of enhancing the financial independence and improves the economic control of the Bumiputera Malaysians. This effort has provided investment opportunity for its target audience as an alternative savings scheme in order to generate long
