Introduction: Extracapsular spread (ECS) is one of the most important prognostic factors in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Gamma Glutamyl Hydrolase (GGH) is a lysosomal enzyme which is involved in folate homeostasis. It is overexpressed in several human malignancies but its role in OSCC has never been reported. Carbonic Anhydrase 9 (CA9) is a

Cross sections for the production of a Z boson in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √ s = 8 TeV are measured using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC corresponding to 19.6 fb−1 . Differential cross sections are presented as functions of up to three observables that describe the

One of the Sharīʿah’s requirements in conducting transactions is realising the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. The Modern online banking system is very common to everyone, so it is considered as al-ʿUrf or al-ʿādah (common practice or custom) under the Sharīʿah.

Religiosity has been seen as a powerful determinant of human actions especially in situations of ethical dilemmas such as digital piracy. Thus, it has been addressed as a potential informal institution to curtail the phenomenon. However, previous research indicated a confounding influence of some contextual factors on the anticipated role of religi

The paper presents the study of unguided rolling projectiles at varying Mach numbers using aerodynamic coefficients. The aerodynamic coefficients are estimated using an aerodynamic prediction code, Missile DATCOM. The predicted dynamic derivatives will determine the design criteria, and also their effect on the design aspects (stability and accurac

Technique of painted wood paneling in the art and craft of Ajami has been popularly practiced in the seventeenth to late eighteenth century especially during the Ottoman period. ‘Ajami is used to describe the technique of painted wooden wall panel as well as the interior as a whole. Nowadays, it can be seen that this beautiful decorative painting

This study aims to identify the opportunity cost of holding gold, in relation to the stock market for case of Turkey. The focus is to detect if gold acts as a safe haven or a hedge asset in times of distress. The Threshold GARCH (TARCH) model was utilized. The analysis used daily data for the period 2005-2014. The data for selling prices of gold wa

Contamination of drinking water by hazardous agents is becoming a serious global threat, so it is necessary to develop more efficient sensing technologies for applications in liquid media. The limited working lifetime of electrochemical biosensors, especially when measurements are made continuously in liquid media, remains an unsolved challenge. We

Insight into Research and Publications is a newly introduced programme of the Research Committee of KIRKHS, aimed at promoting research and publications by the university’s academic community and students. The programme is intended to inspire the audience to conduct research and publications and to learn from others. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Solehah is t
