Background: The world’s population is ageing rapidly. Older people are at risk of having mental illnesses particularly depression but it is often misdiagnosed and undertreated. It affects general wellbeing and daily functions of the patients. Objectives: To measure the prevalence of depression and its associated factors among elderly living in FE

In this study, aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3.6 H2O) was derived from aluminum foil waste as a heterogeneous acid catalyst in the esterification of waste cooking oil. The parameters of catalyst loading (2–8 wt%), ultrasonic frequency (12–40 kHz), and reaction time (15–60 min) were optimized for maximum biodiesel yield production. Under

An example of sintered inert ceramic is ceramic balls as catalyst support media. The composition of the ceramic is regulated by Universal Oil Products (UOP) standard. The requirement of the chemical composition will therefore determine the range of sintering temperature, number of phases or crystal during sintering, and the weight percent of starti

In this study, calcium oxide were synthesized from fish bone waste and the optimum condition: catalyst amount, reactor temperature, and methanol to oil ratio (molar) for biodiesel production were studied. The calcium oxide (CaO) derived from fish bone wastes was then supported on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to easily separate the catalyst and biodiesel

Present paper elaborates solution of partial differential equations (PDE) of two dimensional steady state heat conduction by using a bi quadratic triangular Galerkin’s finite element method (QGFEM). The steady state heat distribution is modeled by a two-dimensional Laplace partial differential equations. A six-node triangular element model is dev

Waqf or Islamic endowment is an important institution in the social sector (ijtimia’i sector) of the Islamic economic system that has contributed significantly towards socio-economic and social development since the early days of Islam. There is an abundance of historical evidence that has shown the commendable contribution of waqf as a primary s

Purpose The purpose of the present study is to understand the role of auxin and cytokinin in stimulating the production of pigmented callus in Orthosiphon stamineus and to gain correlation between the callus colours with their antioxidant capacity and bioactive constituents. Design/methodology/approach In this study, plant tissue culture was used t

This research project attempted to investigate the impact of applying philosophical inquiry method of teaching on classroom engagement and reasoning skills of low achievers. Low achievers are those who have the potential to succeed but lagged behind because of several factors that demotivate them to perform at their highest ability. In this study,

Islamic jurisprudence and its law trace their origins back to the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) with the start of Holy Revelation (waḥī) from the cave of Ḥirā’ on the outskirts of Makkah. The start was from the Holy Commanad of iqrā’ which literally means read. Hundreds of rulings, principles, maxims were laid down during the life

This study aims to evaluate the effects of solvents extraction and drying methods on selected fucoxanthin content in Sargassum polycystum that was collected from Blue Lagoon, Port Dickson Malaysia. Two different drying methods were used in this study, i.e sun-drying and air-drying. Acetone, methanol and ethanol were used solvents to extract the fuc
