Due to sedentariness and poor diet and nutrition, the youth of today are increasingly exposed to early-onset Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Malaysian youth are particularly at risk for T2D since Malaysia has the highest prevalence of obesity among its young population in Asia. Our concern led us to the conduct of this study, which was aimed at discovering

Existing single-lane free flow (SLFF) tolling systems either heavily rely on contact-based treadle sensor to detect the number of vehicle wheels or manual operator to classify vehicles. While the former is susceptible to high maintenance cost due to wear and tear, the latter is prone to human error. This paper proposes a vision-based solution to SL

In the era of data and the quest for data-driven decision-making, the capacity to tell stories from data is proving to be increasingly valuable. Storytelling is not only a great method displaying facts, but also an effective approach to package knowledge and information so that everyone can understand it. While numerous tools are available to produ

The National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) conducted by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in 2015 revealed that the prevalence of mental health problems among those 16 years and above was 29.2%. 1 in 3 Malaysians have mental health issues, with highest prevalence among those aged 16-19 years as well as those from low-income families. Hence, the stu

The Artificial Neural Network (ANN), is one of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. It is a great technique that can be applied in the construction project cost estimation to solve classification, prediction, and regression problems (Juszczyk, 2017). ANN is data-driven and is considered sensitive to input data (Tayefeh Hashemi et al., 2020). The

Docking site non-union is common following bone transport of the tibiae. Option to improve healing of the docking site includes refashioning both bone end and removing the interposition of soft tissue or iliac bone graft. However, some patients refuse iliac bone grafting because of pain at the donor site. Non-vascularised fibular bone graft is an o

Introduction: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) continues to be the principle cause of mortality and morbidity globally. In Malaysia, people are getting AMI at younger age compared to well-developed countries. LPA gene and Apo E genes exert important roles in the regulation of lipid metabolism, which contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosi

Nowadays, the consumption of healthy bars has increased worldwide due to the nutritional values and versatility of the products. The latest study explains these different healthy bars, their typical ingredients, and consumers’ growing awareness on food safety and quality simultaneously demanding halal-certified products.

Poor sleep is related to type 2 diabetes and adversely influences a person’s quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate sleep quality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), its associated factors, and its relationship with quality of life. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a primary care clinic in a tertiary hospital on the east coast

Adopting scoping review approach, this article aims to conduct an analytical study on screening methods of foetal abnormalities associated with Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) level, which is defined as plasma protein produced by the foetus. The issue of foetal abnormalities associated with AFP levels is increasingly getting serious. The risk of adverse pr
