The mercury ion (Hg2+) is regarded as one of the toxic cations that is extremely harmful and dangerous to human health and the environment. With this growing awareness, it is imperative that facile and rapid sensing systems developed for the detection of Hg2+. Due to excellent sensitivity and selectivity, graphene quantum dots (GQDs), a zero-dimens

Copper nanoparticles has received an immense interest from the scientific community due to its remarkable properties thusly offer various uses in multitude range of applications. Many works have been reported on the nanoparticles production using numerous approaches. Despite various methods can be used for copper nanoparticles preparation, green sy

Purpose – As the major shareholder, in 2004, the Malaysian Government embarked on the transformation initiative of the Government Linked Companies (GLCs). One of the main initiatives was to enhance board effectiveness through its Green Book. Soon after, the progress performance review revealed that the GLCs reported improved earnings. Such drasti

The UK’s Financial Services Authority (FSA) introduced a ban on the short-selling of specified financial-sector stocks in September 2008. The regulator’s stated objectives were to protect market quality, stabilize the market for financial-sector stocks, and prevent cross-sectoral contagion. We analyse the price, market quality and contagion eff

1. Introduction 1.1 Methadone and methadone maintenance therapy (MMT): An overview Methadone acts on the opioid receptors and produces many of the same effects of morphine and heroin. In the treatment of opioid dependence, methadone has cross-tolerance with other opioid, including heroin and morphine and a long duration of effect. Higher doses of m

A facile and non-hazardous route for synthesis of triangle-shaped graphene nanoflakes and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) suspension via electrochemical exfoliation has been reported. In this work, a simple electrochemical technique was employed using pristine and heated graphite electrodes under the influence of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenz

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have shown remarkable application prospects due to their outstanding chemical and physical properties. In this research, cellulose nanocrystals were isolated from grass waste using alkali, bleaching and acid hydrolysis treatments and further used as nanofiller in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films. The valorisation of the g

Traditional healing power of tamarind fruits and the established antioxidant activity of the seeds drive the present study. Wound healing efficiency of tamarind seed was evaluated. Different solvents: phosphate buffer saline (PBS), water, methanol and ethanol were used to prepare the extract. Circular wound was inflicted on the nape. 10 μl of 5 μ

The emergence of the themes suggests that the Malay clients in the study did move in the direction of personal growth and maturity in the non-directive, egalitarian person-centred counselling. The flow of emotion experienced by clients indicated that, in the safe climate of person-centred counselling, where the client' positive and negative fee

By virtue of section 375 of the Malaysian Penal Code (MPC), it is clearly stated that the offence of rape could only be committed by a man (as defined in section 10 MPC) as principal upon a woman (as defined in section 10 MPC) as victim. This provision highlights that in Malaysia, the law of rape is entirely gender delineated. A question might aris
