Introduction: This discussion paper aims to synthesise available literature on hearing sciences from Islamic perspective and to relate this to the current hearing care practices. The paper focuses on several main scopes: i) the importance of sense of hearing from Islamic and scientific perspectives ii) impacts of hearing impairment iii) limitations

Reducing the weight of automobile helps improve energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. Multifunctional components of the automobile are one of the best options which could be useful to make the vehicle lighter and functional as an energy storage and source. Polymer Nano-filler composites signify as the most encouraging and pro

This paper proposes a carrier-based pulse width modulation (CB-PWM) method with synchronous switching technique for a Vienna rectifier. In this paper, a Vienna rectifier is one of the 3-level converter topologies. It is similar to a 3-level T-type topology the used back-to-back switches. When CB-PWM switching method is used, a Vienna rectifier is o

The paper reports on a basic classification based on formal and morphological similarities of large vernacular buildings across the Malay region, based on their frontages; with the aim of developing a universal regional language and set of rules of local architecture for urban and multi-storeys typologies. Generally, seen as idiosyncratic and indiv

The development of commercialized electric vehicles (EVs) has yet to be accelerated due to the lack of electrification. Electric vehicles charged with low-emission electricity are one of the key options to reduce emissions in passenger road transport. The introduction of electric vehicles will inevitably lead to a greater interaction between the mo

A small amount of hydrogen made by on­board reformer is added to the normal intake air and gasoline mixture in the vehicle's engine could improves overall combustion quality by allowing nearly twice as much air for a given amount of fuel introduced into the combustion chamber. This can be justified based on the calorific value of Hydrogen (H2)

Biogas consists of mixture of gases, among which methane and carbon dioxide are major composition. The upgrading biogas involves the process of separation methane from other mixture of gases in raw biogas especially carbon dioxide to get high yield of biomethane. The present of other mixture of gases drops the calorific value of biogas and it reduc

Money laundering and terrorism financing are financial crimes which affect the economic stability and integrity of the country. In this respect, the relevant regulator has a duty to preserve and protect the financial stability of the country. This duty is in line with the concept of the protection of wealth (hifz al-mal) under the maqāsid al-Shar�

It has been widely acknowledged that waqf institutions play an important role in the socio-economic development of the Muslim Ummah in the Islamic history. This paper elaborates the contribution of selected waqaf entities in Turkey and Malaysia in improving the socio-economic conditions of the society. The waqaf entities involved in this study incl

The methods used for flow characterization of a powder mass include the angle of repose (AOR), Carrindex (CI), and powder flow tester (PFT). The use of nanosilica as a flow modifier (glidant) is very com-mon in industry. This study aims to compare the glidant effect of hydrophobic and hydrophilic silica ona poorly flowable active pharmaceutical ing
