We demonstrate that the simultaneous combination of ion beam analysis (IBA) and ion beam induced luminescence (IL) can reveal valuable information concerning the performance of strained doped silica fibre thermoluminescence microdosimeters. The micron scale spatial resolution and low detection limits of IBA allow the lateral distribution of dopant

In recent years, the Uyghurs in Xinjiang-Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) have increasingly been viewed disapprovingly by the Chinese government. This followed a series of unwanted incidents that broke out in Xinjiang, especially from the 1990s onwards. Consequently, the Uyghurs who are a minority group of Turkic origin have been subjected to some r

Porcupine bezoar (PB) is a calcified undigested material generally found in porcupine’s (Hystrix brachyura) gastrointestinal tract. The bezoar is traditionally used in South East Asia and Europe for the treatment of cancer, poisoning, dengue, typhoid, etc. However, limited scientific studies have been performed to verify its anticancer potential

Porcupine bezoars (PBs) are masses of undigested calcareous concretions formed within the gastrointestinal tract. There are undocumented claims that PBs have antioxidant activity and can treat cancers. However, limited scientific study has been carried out to verify these traditional claims. Hence, this study was conducted to characterize the chemi

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate Muslim academics’ knowledge sharing (KS) behavior and its relating predictors in the context of Malaysia. Academics being the center entity of education in higher learning institutions (HLI) has the noble obligation in spreading and sharing knowledge. Moreover, in Islamic teaching, academics

This article discusses the dichotomy in Islamic education which is the basic problem facing Islamic education today. To overcome these problems, one of them is by organizing an educational model that integrates the science of religion with the knowledge that is based on the philosophy of Islamic education. By employing qualitative method of researc

Background: People nowadays strongly hold on smartphone in their daily life activities as a result of technology advancement. Health care system should move forward to match industrial revolution. Technology integration should provide an insight for appropriate intervention in health care system i.e. engagement in required health behavior such as p

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a well-known process as the most favourable for high-quality large area graphene production. However, it is a complex method where each parameter will contribute to significant effect on the deposition process. One of them, fluid dynamics, was reported to be one of the major governing factors for better deposition

Chemometric techniques were applied to identify and assess the trace metals of Kuantan River water. Water samples from nine sampling stations were taken from downstream of the estuary towards the upstream of Kuantan River. The following trace metals were selected for analysis i.e. Hg, Cd, Pb, As, Co and Cr. To evaluate chemical variation on the var

Muslim women have created a unique space for them in the economy by advocating halal entrepreneurship. In Muslim minority countries, Muslim women are struggling to gain acknowledgement from society and face multiple challenges, including limitations in performing halal business activities. Besides the gender gap that is prevalent globally, Muslim w
