Candida albicans causes candidiasis, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Streptococcus salivarius K12 (K12) is a probiotic isolated from a healthy oral cavity. The study aimed to determine the effect of K12 on C. albicans aggregation, biofilm formation and dimorphism. C. albicans ATCC MYA-4901, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) isol

The development of rapid charging mechanism for LiFePo4 batteries is one of the key concerns for electric vehicles. The main drawbacks of LiFePo4 battery charging are overcharge, overcurrent, and high temperature which affects longevity, efficiency, and battery life cycle. The effect of the battery’s internal temperature on the rapid charging pro

Micro electro-discharge machining (µEDM) uses electro-thermal energy from repetitive sparks generated between the tool and workpiece to remove material from the latter. However, one of the bottlenecks of µEDM is the phenomenon of short circuits due to the physical contact between the tool and debris (formed during the erosion of the workpiece). A

In the olden days, the passive design was taken for granted in the traditional architecture, as the technology was not so advanced. In modern days, the advance of technology has provided greater comfort with the cost of energy consumption. By foreseeing the future, the fellow profession has discussed energy efficiency, particularly in the building

Malaysia’s economy, since 1980s, has attracted millions of migrant workers from the neighboring and regional economies. It is estimated that at the end of 2019, Malaysia was hosting about eight million foreign workers. However, the labor market is heavily oversupplied by a large number of undocumented or illegal foreign workers. Various sources s

The classical Islamic minority laws known as the Dhimmah system are criticised as differentiated, discriminatory and at odd with the modern state system, which is based on the ideas of universal citizenship with equal socio-political, economic, and legal rights. This research argues that the theoretical framework of the classical Dhimmah system, wh

The paper discussed the use of the TPACK model in a language classroom.

Women make up almost half of the Malaysian population in 2021. A sizeable number of the women are poor and categorised as the Bottom 40 percent (B40). The focus of the study is on Muslim B40 women who are already entrepreneurs. The purpose of the study was on examining out how these women who have poor education could be trained effectively on usin

Health rights, unlike political and economic rights, until recently has not received sufficient attention that it truly deserves despite being equally important as other aspects of human rights. It is timely that the right to health be given serious attention and more coverage by the media, legal fraternity and the authorities as well as by the pub

Frequency spectrum for satellite communication systems is moving towards Ka- and V-bands, the performance of which is severely degraded by rain attenuation, especially in tropical regions. ITU-R 618-13 and few other researchers proposed a complete method to predict rain attenuation at any desired frequency. All prediction models require rain rate a
