Abstract Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, side effects and resistance mechanisms of first-line afatinib in a real-world setting. Methods: This is a multicenter observational study of first-line afatinib in Malaysian patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patien

An RLC meter is a single electronic instrument or device which is capable to measure the Resistance (R), Inductance (L) and Capacitance (C). This instrument has wide applications in electrical and electronics laboratory, industry and engineering research works. Nowadays, a large variety of RLC meter is available. The high precision RLC meter is slo

In this study, the active repair and control of a Mode-I opening displacement for centre/edge cracked structures is conducted. The repair and control technique is performed utilizing the piezoelectric electromechanical behaviour. The study is divided into two major parts whereas accurate mathematical models are proposed. The models relate the Mode-

The discovery and development of anticancer agents were made through long processes from screening new compounds in various cell lines, animal experimental studies, until clinical trials Majority of cancer chemotherapeutic agents have been initially screened in an in vitro cell-based system and then subsequently studied in an in vivo model using sm

This paper argues that women are an essential part of society like men and both male and female are complementary to each other. In Islam, besides a male’s role, a female’s role also is significant to build a sound and a strong Ummah. A mother plays her role inside a family, performs her roles and responsibilities towards her husband and childr

This chapter offers a practitioners’ perspective on how Islamic banks in Malaysia deal with unlawful sources of funds. Specifically, it investigates the practice of Islamic banks in Malaysia in dealing with funds that originate from unlawful sources such as accepting deposits for safe-keeping and investment and providing financial facilities to c

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a highly polluted industrial wastewater that may cause detrimental environmental pollution if discharged directly due to its biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations. In the present study, the performance of FeSO4.7H2O waste from titanium oxide industry was investigated in remo

An analytical technique has been developed based on the harmonic balance method to obtain approximate angular frequencies. This technique also offers the periodic solutions to the nonlinear free vibration of a conservative, couple-mass-spring system having linear and nonlinear stiffnesses with cubic nonlinearity. Two real-world cases of these syste

Purpose: The study is an attempt to elaborate on students' development explicitly, understanding and practices of Islamic Moderation Personality (IMP) in Malaysian Higher Learning Institution (MHLI). The measurement of the development of their understanding, especially in term of its representation of IMP is underlined. Based on this measuremen
