The Islamic legal maxim (al-qāʿidah al-fiqhiyyah) “no harm shall be inflicted or reciprocated” has become particularly significant in this era of pandemic. In the current context, this legal maxim is reasonably expected, provided that if they are adequately employed, to influence people’s choices and guide them to make certain decisions whi

With the increasing number of women in the workforce, there is a need to understand how the interrelationship between emotions and the demands of work and family influence their well-being. This study examined how emotional labor [surface acting (SA) and deep acting] and work–family conflict contribute to explaining variance in burnout (emotional

This paper gives a report of a study that investigated peoples‟ perception of online buying tickets (e-ticketing) as well as why some people use this facility while some who do not use it stick to the traditional way to fulfill their needs. In addition, factors such as what inform peoples‟ eagerness and unwillingness to use internet facilities

Capsid-like particles consisting of a hepatitis B core (HBc) protein have been studied for their potential as carriers for drug delivery systems (DDS). The hollow HBc particle, which is formed by the self-assembly of core proteins comprising 183 aa residues, has the ability to bind to various cells non-specifically via the action of an arginine-ric

Design and development of new anticancer drugs with low toxicity is a very challenging task and computer aided methods are being increasingly used to solve this problem. In this research we investigate the anticancer activity of aliphatic nitrosoureas using quantum chemical quantitative structure activity relation (qcQAR) approach. In this method t

Molecular dynamics methods are very useful tool in understanding the behavior of the enzymes at higher temperatures. It is well known that some enzymes lose their enzyme activity at higher temperatures. In this work we employ molecular dynamics simulation of an endoglucanase from Fusarium oxysporum (EGFO) to understand the reasons behind the loss o

In facing the threat of terrorism, a holistic counter-terrorism strategy is needed. In a practical sense, holistic counter-terrorism strategy means the application of holistic approaches combining the use of hard and soft approaches with the main focus to eliminate the terrorist organisation and to defeat the extremist ideology in its potential or

This paper presents the theoretical review of the importance of landscape design in the execution of green and sustainable buildings as a trend of current development concept. Instead of beautifying the environment, strategic landscape design may help to prevent from extensive building heat gain, reduce the energy and water consumption as well as p
