Thus, zakat has a significant contribution to Muslims’ life, especially in alleviating poverty. Furthermore, zakat institutions as mediators between rich people and poor people with various programs to reduce poverty. However, eve

Within the framework of big data, energy issues are highly significant. Despite the significance of energy, theoretical studies focusing primarily on the issue of energy within big data analytics in relation to computational intelligent algorithms are scarce. The purpose of this study is to explore the theoretical aspects of energy issues in big da

Purpose – This paper aims to examine the impact of capital regulation, ownership structure and the degree of ownership concentration on the risk of commercial banks. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses a sample of 565 commercial banks from 52 countries over the period of 2011-2015. A dynamic panel data model estimation using the maxim

The effect of different LED light treatments on nutrient concentration and leaf gas exchange in Brassica chinensis was performed in this study utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology as remote monitoring system. Brassica chinensis were grown under four different light treatments and have been used as light source. The experiments were conduct

Rehabilitation for disabled children requires long-term programmes which are expensive to the family. This study aimed to estimate the cost incurred by caregivers’ children with disabilities from Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan participating in Community-Based ehabilitation (CBR) (CentreBased and Home-Based) and cost of seeking alternative rehabi

For decades, coconut oil was reported to possess a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity due to its abundant fatty acid’s contents. Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) has been strongly implicated as the main etiological factor in dental caries. Regardless of the ongoing medical advances, the therapeutic resources for dental caries remain ineffec

This study investigates the performance of option-implied moments, realised from the model-free Bakshi-Kapadia-Madan (MFBKM) with an improvement using wavelet transform. So far, little attention has been paid in utilising continuous wavelet transform in denoising the option-implied moments, especially within the model-free hybrid framework. Thus, t

This study investigates whether the dierent step size of option strike price discreteness contributes to the performance of a model-free variance in approximating the real-value volatility. The volatility is proxied by the volatility implied by the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. We concentrate on examining the respective relationship go

Case report: We report a 38-year-old gentleman who presented with painless haematuria for 6-months duration. Contrast-enhanced CT renal revealed a large, calcified intrapelvic mass with calyceal extension confined within the right kidney with moderate pelvicalyceal dilatation but no evidence of synchronous lesion elsewhere. Histopathological analys

Objectives of Shariah (maqāṣid). These aims are rarely examined in the Islamic literature on sorcery. The dissertation investigates the development and role of sorcery in ancient societies before highlighting the responsibility of sorcerers for the harm they cause in society. The Objectives of Shariah were used to underline the dangers of sorcer
