– Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) is one of the fastest growing network techniques provides efficient communciations for smart cities, e-Health, industry 4.0 and other applications. LPWAN enables long-rang communcaitons for M2M and cellular IoT networks. Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) is a type of LPWAN developed by 3GPP to connect a wide stream of

Islamic Estate Planning (IEP) is an important task that Muslims need to participate to make sure individuals that will be left behind are taken care of. Despite increasing literature on the importance of this planning in Malaysia, there is a lack of study for the role of Islamic banks in this area. This study examines the IEP products that are avai

Health is considered as a nucleus to the life of a nation. Absence of it can create disharmony to an individual and society at large. Recent phenomena of COVID-19 pandemic outbreak which has penetrated into the lives of masses has caused major chaos and adverse effect to the health and wellbeing of people globally. No doubt that absence of health m

Using the notion of sustainable impactful strategies for waqf management, this study examines the governance and best practices on idle waqf management by the Malaysian States Islamic Religious Councils (SIRCs) in selected states like Penang, Perak and Kuala Lumpur. The waqf management of the SIRCs is also assessed based on the model framework coun

With the ever-growing energy demand and environmental concerns, research on alternative energy is vital for sustainability. Thermal energy harvesting using shape memory alloy (SMA) heat engine is one of the possible methods for power generation from low to high-grade thermal energy but suffers from low performance; one of the reasons is due to the

Introduction: In recent years, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using natural products has been increasingly utilized in the biomedical field as a therapeutic approach for managing neurodegenerative diseases. This study aimed to determine the effects of silver nanoparticles synthesized using Tualang honey (THSN) on seizure activity and locom

Introduction: Kainic acid (KA) has been widely used to study the mechanism of excitotoxicity-induced neurodegeneration and to investigate neurodegenerative therapeutic intervention. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Tualang honey-mediated silver nanoparticles (THSN) against oxidative stress in the hippocampus of KA-in

Techniques of pile installation such as jacking, dropping weight, vibration, and explosion were applied but these methods were discovered to have weaknesses, such as high friction resistance and high settlements. To overcome these problems, this study introduces new method of pile installation which is Jacking and Rotary method (J&R). The objec

Solid coconut waste (SCW) is a by-product of coconut milk production which still contains virgin coconut oil (VCO). This waste usually is thrown away or left in fields. This study aims to optimize the effects of Microwave power (80–400 W), irradiation time (1–4 minutes), and solvent to feed ratio (SF) (10–30 ml/g) on the extraction of VCO fro

Excitotoxicity mediated neurodegeneration by kainic acid (KA) was shown to cause oxidative stress in rats’ brains. Tualang honey (TH), a potential natural medicinal agent, was reported to have many therapeutic properties; however, its protection against neurodegenerative disorders was limited. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect
