Euthanasia is conceptually analyzed and various relevant issues are categorized under active and passive euthanasia. Furthermore, a formulation of an Islamic perspective is sought on the basis of the Quran and Sunnah and their understanding in relation to the issue that has appeared in the form of Islamic medical codes, resolutions of Muslim jurisp

Religious believers claim their religions are peaceful and genuine believers are peacekeepers and peacemakers. In substantiating justification to their claim, they very often refer to religious scriptures. Yet, on the contrary, their claim is confronted by an opposite claim: many wars were fought and are being fought in the name of religion; and a

The paper addressed reflections on systemization and development of Islamic moral studies with the premise that Islamic moral studies should be based on Islamic ethics as a discipline. The paper demonstrated that the subject matter of Islamic ethics is inclusive of habits, character, and behavior. Therefore, Islamic ethics ought to be redefined and

The Islamization of Human Knowledge (IoHK) focuses primarily on the integration between the curriculum for professional courses and the Islamic perspective, in addition to the training of educators to be murabbis, and the infusion of teaching materials with Islamic outlook and Islamic perspectives. The availability of teaching materials which are i

The research is an outcome of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) held on 18-19 November 2014 on the effect of curriculum and teaching materials on the grounding of Islamic foundations into science/engineering education system and how to invest and further develop the integration of Revelation into science/engineering courses. The FGD involved active

This paper presents a new formulation of free asbestos brake friction materials with a view to replace the use of asbestos whose dust is carcinogenic and has a harmful effect to the human being. Five different laboratory formulations (such as, S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5) were selected with varying coir fiber contents from 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 volume fra

The main objectives of the present study are to develop/manufacture SiC reinforced aluminium matrix composite (SiCp/AMC) with different reinforcement combinations using stir casting method and investigate the effects of heat treatment on wear performance. AMCs were prepared using 20 vol% SiC with three different reinforcement combinations into alum

This paper presents a study of Photoplethysmography (PPG) for Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurement. PPG is a non-invasive device which is used to measure the blood volume changes in the veins. Using optical based method, the PPG signal gives such reliable information regarding to the person’s body condition. One of the information that could

With 75 percent of fuel consumption relating directly to vehicle weight, potential weight reductions that can result in improved performance ratio and reduce CO2 emissions stimulate the application of lightweight materials. The substitution of aluminium matrix composite (AMC) for structural component of brake rotor is quite effective in lightening,

Composite materials have become a popular material substitution for automotive, sports, medical, aerospace and other engineering fields due to their light-weight, high strength and/or stiffness of fibres. In this paper, a conceptual design approach has been presented to develop aluminium metal matrix composite (AMC) automotive brake rotor system. A
