The purpose of this study is to investigate the association of audit committee expertise and internal audit function characteristics, with audit quality, which is proxied by audit fee. As highlighted by prior studies, audit committee and internal audit are among the corporate governance mechanisms. Hence, among the corporate governance characterist

Background:The aim was to compare percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), a supervisedexercise programme (SEP) and combined treatment (PTA plus SEP) for intermittent claudication dueto femoropopliteal arterial disease.Methods: Consenting patients with femoropopliteal arterial lesions were randomized to one of threetreatment arms: PTA, SEP, or

Elluminate a web interactive multimedia technology (WIMT), was introduced in a large metropolitan university. The system incorporates several interactive and multimedia features. Those features when used in teaching and learning activities are categorised into five affordances: text, audio, video, image and screen-board. This system provides real t

The concept of splicing system was first introduced by Head in 1987. This model has been introduced to investigate the recombinant behavior of DNA molecules. Over the years, various types of splicing languages have been defined and studied by different mathematicians. Splicing systems with finite sets of axioms only generate regular languages. Ther

The concept of providing special education services to the children with medical needs is relatively a new project in Malaysia. The study found that during children’s recovering process in any medical centre, their education should not be overlooked as the hospitalized children and young people still need learning activities to maintain a sense o

The concept of providing special education services to the children with medical needs is relatively a new in Malaysia. During children’s recovering process in any medical centre, their education should not be overlooked as the hospitalized children and young people still need learning activities to maintain a sense of normality in the hospital e

During the Covid-19 epidemic, there was an urgent need for many countries in the world to move as quickly as possible towards digital services such as e-government, e-learning, and e-commerce. The positive aspects of this transformation cannot be overlooked; however, other negative effects may result from the long and medium term of such an approac

Mid semester examination (MSE) was abolished and replaced by continuous assessments (CA) in Kulliyyah of Pharmacy, International Islamic University Malaysia at 2010. The overall score of CA and MSE contribute 40% of total score. This study examined the outcome of CA on the students’ academic performance in Medical Biochemistry. We studied the imp

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the most extensively used non conventional material removal processes to machine very hard material. Such materials like hardened tool steel, titanium and its alloy, Hastelloy which were hitherto difficult to machine can be easily processed with EDM. Tool electrode being the main component of the machi

During electro-discharge machining (EDM), debris particles are generated in the machining gap from the eroded materials. If they are not quickly removed, arcing would occur, and this reduces the machining efficiency. The introduction of external magnetic field (EMF) is a research innovation which tries to facilitate quick removal of this debris awa
