Abstract: Stone leaf (Tetracera scandens) is a Southeast Asian medicinal plant that has been traditionally used for the management of diabetes mellitus. The underlying mechanisms of the antidiabetic activity have not been fully explored yet. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the α‐glucosidase inhibitory potential of the hydromethanolic extract

This study examined the mangrove distribution in Kong Kong Laut, Masai, Johor using remote sensing. Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS imagery at Kong Kong Laut estuary has been analyzed using NDVI and supervised classification based on the field survey data. In this study, field survey for supervised classification only observed the exclusive mangrove species and

The mango seed was extracted to starch via distillation, alkaline, sedimentation and centrifugation methods. Based on the analysis, different starch extraction methods resulted in different proximate composition, physicochemical, morphological, structural, functional and thermal properties of starch. As such, it is necessary to choose a suitable st

Due to this conflicting subject under the Syariah legal system in various countries as noted above, a question arises relating to the feasibility of the application of the doctrine of judicial precedent in Syariah Courts. Hence, this chapter discusses the feasibility of the application of the doctrine of judicial precedent in Islamic legal systeFOR

Wearable and flexible electronics are becoming of recent interest due to expansion of Internet of Things (IOT). Thin film piezoelectric materials have the potential to be used as the development of flexible electronic devices in energy harvesting, sensing and biomedicine. This is mainly be-cause of the inherent ability of piezoelectric materials to

Crowdfunding is a new form of both investment opportunities and source of raising capital. The aim of this chapter is to explore the understanding of the newly invented crowdfunding, types of the existing platforms of the industry. Authors investigated crowdfunding platforms that are registered in securities commission Malaysia and Kapitalboost pla

The Islamic communication can be seen and studied through the teachings of the Quran and the exemplary practices of the prophet Muhammad S.A.W. Unfortunately it is yet to be noticed nor accepted mainly because of how Muslim scholars are unable to put communication into context and materialize it into a proper scholarly discipline in the ways that t

The passive generation of Q-switched pulses in an erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser using a Ti3C2Tx MXene based saturable absorber (SA) was demonstrated. The SA was formed using Ti3AlC2 MAX phase as a precursor for Ti3C2Tx MXene which was obtained by etching Ti3AlC2 using a mixture of lithium fluoride and hydrochloric acid. The generated pulse output

MXenes have recently gained significant research interest due to its graphene-like structure that allows for a multitude of applications such as electronics, batteries and optics to be realized. In this work, stable Q-switched pulses are passively obtained from a thulium-doped fiber laser using an MXene Ti3C2TX coated microfiber as a saturable abso

This work proposed and demonstrated stable passive mode-locking in a thulium-holmium doped fiber laser (THDFL) using molybdenum oxide (MoOx) deposited onto a tapered fiber as a saturable absorber (SA). The SA was fabricated using the optical deposition technique for 2.0 µm region operation. The modulation depth, saturation intensity and non-satura
