Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Malaysia continues to increase over the last two decades. Even with the availability of resources and expertise, the metabolic control and rate of complications remained unsatisfactory. Objectives: The study was conducted to evaluate the status of diabetic control and rates of complic

This study examines the strategies and tactics of political mobilisation by the opposition political parties in Malaysia during Mahathir’s era. The study is based on two major arguments. First, the electoral performance of the opposition political parties is related to the ways in which they accommodate each other objectives. Second, opposition s

Inspite of wide range of exploration towards the mitigation techniques for malicious nodes in past few years, the effective solution for addressing the behavioral patterns of malicious nodes are still largely un-found. One of the most challenging dynamics related to this issue is an effective visualization of malicious nodes will never adopt any st

Medical Identity Theft (MIDT) occurs when fraudsters impersonate unsuspecting individuals to obtain medical care, buy drugs, and submit fake billings or altered medical records. The consequences can sometimes be life-threatening if wrong information ends up in the victim’s personal medical records. With advancement in telecommunication combined w

This study investigates, using in-situ and numerical simulation experiments, airflow and hygrothermal distribution in a mechanically ventilated academic research facility with known cases of microbial proliferations. Microclimate parameters were obtained from in-situ experiments and used as boundary conditions and validation of the numerical experi

Commercial, social and educational importance of web technology has tremendously increased research activities in web programming/scripting. Several methods for writing PHP codes such as Object Oriented Programming (OOP), Procedural PHP coding and Model View Controller (MVC) pattern have been proposed. Model View Controller (MVC) which is one of th

One of the major potential challenges before the nascent non-interest(Islamic) banking product in Nigeria is the absence of adequate and viable Shariah-compliant instruments of liquidity management. The availability of the instrument is a sine qua non in the banking system. Conversely, Malaysia being the global hub of the Islamic banking and financ

The present and future educational system will have 360-degree dependencies on its digitized materials. There has been tremendous approach from every corner of the society including government agencies in every country to implement certain global standards of the educational system, which is going to be completely online. The characteristics of gen

Energy levels and the reduced probability of E2– transitions for ytterbium isotopes with proton number Z = 70 and neutron numbers between 100 and 106 have been calculated through phenomenological (Ph.M.) and interacting boson (IBM-1) models. The predicted low-lying levels (energies, spins and parities) and the reduced probability for E2– transi

The 62Sm, 64Gd, 66Dy, 70Yb, 72Hf and 74W nuclei are classified as deformed nuclei. Low-lying bands are one of the most fundamental excitation modes in the energy spectra of deformed nuclei. In this paper a theoretical analysis of the experimental data within the phenomenological model is presented. The energy spectra of ground states are calculated
