Bangladesh is one of the countries at risk of COVID-19 and climate change. The lockdown efforts failed to flatten the curve and needed to be more effective. As a result, the significant risk of transmission is obvious, given the rising incidence of cases. Due to climate risks like cyclones, floods, landslides, and heat waves, a multiple hazards sce

This study aimed to get an agreement and expert views on the development Al-Quran and Fardhu Ain Mastery Model of the Orang Asli in the Pahang state region of Malaysia. This study employs the Fuzzy Delphi method using a 7 Likert scale to collect responses from 7 experts in various fields in Malaysia. A total of 21-item fuzzy questionnaire was given

Extraction of essential oil from spearmint leaves is typically hindered by the presence of cell wall composed of lignocellulose which can be biologically degraded by microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate the effects of fermentation using Aspergillus awamori towards the lignocellulosic content of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) leaf as well

A versatile and economic synthetic material is successfully prepared using a low-cost polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and renewable cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) obtained from oil palm biomass through freeze-drying process. The PVA-based aerogels were incorporated with the CNC and glutaraldehyde (GA) which acted as nanofiller and crosslinker, respectively. T

This study explores pharmacists’ experiences and attitudes towards online medical information shared with them by their patients. A self-administered online survey questionnaire was designed and administered to 113 pharmacists within Kampala metropolitan, Uganda. The survey results highlight growth in patients’ inquiries about online acquired m

This paper reviews the recent advancement of hybrid coating on titanium alloys via liquid additive manufacturing method through a literature search to identify major trends and developments in this field. Hybrid coatings created a new class of coatings with superior and customized properties, revolutionizing high-performance applications in industr

Daily chores, such as physical shopping, are often a challenge for the visually impaired, unlike for somebody with normal vision. Although several existing shopping tools can assist the visually impaired to shop independently, most of them are limited to navigation, not portable, difficult to use, and expensive. These tools do not convey the inform

Hybrid gel polymer electrolytes (HGPEs) based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-polylactic acid (PLA) doped with LiTFSI and incorporated with 1-butyl-3-methylimidozalium chloride (BmimCl) were successfully prepared. The complexes of the HGPEs with different BmimCl contents were characterized via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffracti

In achieving a low-carbon economy, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) is facilitating companies, particularly the high-emitting greenhouse gas industry moving towards low-carbon activities with the issuance of the SRI linked Sukuk Framework (SRILSF). This paper will analyse the SRILSF, explore the features of the SRI-linked sukuk and innovatio

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a three-dimensional (3D) printing method under the additive manufacturing process. The process of FDM runs by depositing a melted filament which is a built material, layer by layer on a printing bed. This paper intends to sum up the latest research findings in recent years on the effects of printing parameters on
