Introduction: This paper aims to determine the association between social media pressure on body image and the eating attitude of IIUM female students. Methods: 167 Female undergraduate students of International Islamic University, Malaysia (IIUM) were chosen to participate in this study. A set of questionnaires on students’ sociodemographic, ant

In this age of modernization, smart or self-sufficient frameworks in all domains of work are becoming increasingly important as innovation advances. This involves improving data collecting for UV monitoring system using metal oxide sensors, an underdeveloped market niche. The Data Acquisition (DAQ) system available at the moment is antiquated and f

The sustainability of renewable resources is affected by the rapid booming of the construction sector. The massive production of construction and demolition waste by this sector has given drawbacks to the environment as well. An environmentally friendly approach to overcome the disposal of waste materials is via the recycling process. The main obje

The objective of this current research is to model the experimental data on the effectiveness of an incentive-based weight reduction method by using Bayesian hierarchical growth models. Three Bayesian hierarchical growth models are proposed, namely parametric Bayesian hierarchical growth model with correlated intercept and slope random effects mode

Background: The primary cause of cancer is gene mutation which allows the growth of abnormal and damaged cells. Nutrition is one of the key factors that either increases or decreases the risk of cancer. Mannose has been found in many fruits such as oranges, apples and berries. Mannose has been linked to increase the risk factors or potential therap

Expressions of ideology, philosophy or emotions can be manifested into a form of art. The art itself can be in a tangible or intangible form. For street art, it has become a new phenomenon at certain places. Since its existence decades ago, it is interpreted and viewed as a negative influence in certain communities.

Introduction: Hyperlipidaemia is one of the major diseases that could lead to cardiovascular related death and affects nearly half of the Malaysian population. Adherence to hyperlipidaemia medications is important to ensure good control of the disease. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the level of patients’ adherence to hyperlipidaemia med

INTRODUCTION: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder with recurrent episodes of apnoea or hypopnoea occurring during sleep. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, there is no applicable study that assesses the risk for OSA at the primary care level. This study aims to assess the pre

In this work, plastic bottles made of high-density polyethene (HDPE) have been recycled and blended with poly(lactic acid) (PLA). The aim of the work is to prepare a binary blend of PLA and Recycled HDPE (rHDPE) at 90:10 blend ratio by using a twin-screw extruder. The blends were compression moulded and characterized in terms of mechanical and ther

Contact lens method (CLM) is an alternative option to measure corneal power by evaluating the difference of patient’s over-refraction with rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens to manifest refraction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of CLM using spherical (CLMspherical) and aspheric (CLMaspheric) RGP lenses in measuring corneal re
