Islamic finance literacy has become critical for the future growth of the Islamic financial sector in the twenty-first century. While a multi-pronged approach is called for, the focus in this paper is on the undergraduate programs in Islamic banking and finance. It analyses the state of teaching of Islamic banking and finance at the undergraduate l

Top management commitment towards quality management is generally perceived as one of the key factors in determining its success. It has been observed that the local construction industry is facing a lot of quality issues. In relation to this, the authors are trying to perceive quality management in the context of Malaysian construction industry fr

The addition of impact modifiers such as CPE enhance the fracture toughness to PVC to the extent that higher design stresses can be applied to PVC-M pipes compared to PVC-U. However, the fatigue response of PVC-M and PVC-U has been reported to be ostensibly the same. In this work, the fatigue crack growth mechanism has been investigated to determin

Crosstalk is an intrinsic drawback of an optical network, and avoiding crosstalk is important for making fruitful application of optical switching network. In this paper, we apply the well-known semi-permutation technique on generalized recursive network (GRN) to make it crosstalk free. GRN has reasonable path independent signal loss and crosstalk.

Charging and discharging phenomenon on the surface of materials can be found in plasma display panel, spacecraft charging, high voltage insulator, etc. This report gives a simple explanation on this phenomenon. A scanning electron microscope was used not only as a tool to produce energetic electron beam to charge an insulator without metallic coati

The glycosynthase derived from E. coli β-glucuronidase catalyzes the glucuronylation of a range of primary, secondary, and aryl alcohols with moderate to excellent yields. The procedure provides an efficient, stereoselective, and scalable single-step synthesis of β-glucuronides under mild conditions.Escherichia coli Glucuronylsynthase: An Enginee

This guideline is meant to be a guide for clinical practice, based on the best available evidence at the time of development. Adherence to this guideline may not necessarily guarantee the best outcome in every case. Every health care provider is responsible for the management of his/her unique patient based on the clinical picture presented by the

A purified solvent stable and thermostable recombinant lipase, Lip 42, isolated from Bacillus sp. strain 42 was previously shown to be stable in polar organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol. Stabilities in different solvent compositions were studied based on 40˚C pre-incubation in solvent and the purified lipase was shown

Towns in Malaysia are rich in built heritage from colonial days and the symbiotic existence of Chinese and Malays, which dominated urban areas. The nostalgic combination of old and new quaintly describes our towns. On the other hand, pressure for redevelopment is increasing in the face of fast-changing, ominously globalizing world today to create a

مُلخّص الكراهية الدينية المتوارثة التي تثيرها وسائل الإعلام ضِدّ الإسلام والمسلمين تؤدي إلى إحياء العداوة الدينية بين المسلمين والمسيحيين، كما تؤدي إلى تدمير علاقتهم المبنية على روح الصداق�
