The increasing permissiveness towards premarital sexual activities among Malay Muslim teens in Malaysia whose culture and religion (Islam) strongly oppose sexual activities outside marriage is indeed worrying. This scenario may possibly indicate that Muslim children are not getting the appropriate education and guidance in matters pertaining to sex

We focus on the development of Ge-doped silica thermoluminescent dosimeters with sensitivity superior to that of the LiF (Mg,Ti) phosphors popularly used in x-ray diagnostic imaging dosimetry, typically in the form of the product TLD-100. Of interest are Ge-doped silica telecommunication fibres (SMF) and tailor-made doped photonic crystal fibres (P

Study has been made of the thermoluminescence (TL) response of Ge-doped silica preforms fabricated using the MCVD process and subsequently subjected to γ-ray irradiation. Two types of preform were fabricated, obtained using a different flow rate and deposition temperature for each case. Results from the absorption spectra of the samples show a sig

Hyaluronate lyase produced by various microorganisms is capable of degrading hyaluronic acid in connective tissue and initiating spread of infection by opening an access for the pathogen into host tissues. The present study attempts to determine the distribution of hyaluronate lyase-producing Streptococcus pneumoniae among invasive, non-invasive an

Introduction: Neuraxial analgesia, is an effective treatment for labour pain, however this benefit was offset by possible association with increased risk of caesarean section and prolonged labour. The American college of Obstetrician and Gynaecologist recommended delaying the administration of epidural analgesia until cervical dilatation reach 4–

يهدف هذا البحث إلى شرح حديث "خلق العناصر الأربعة: التراب، والنار، والماء، والهواء"، وكيف أن الحديث رتَّبها ترتيبا رائعا، حيث إنه ذكر أولا كل كثيف، ثم كل لطيف، ثم جعل كلَّ مذكورٍ مؤخرًا أشد �

The sea cucumber (Stichopus vastus) is an underutilized species, as most of its parts, including the integument (high collagen content) are thrown away during processing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different hydrolysis conditions (substrate to enzyme ratio (S/E), reaction temperature, and hydrolysis time) on the angiote

One of the key requirement in image guided surgery (IGS)/ computer aided surgery (CAS) planning is accurate segmentation of the images concerned. It is also a challenging issue for the purpose of image analysis and understanding in general, and surgical intervention involving image guided surgery (IGS) in particular. Thus, in this paper, a techniqu
