Although it has been recognised that foreign direct investment (FDI), exports, and education are important ingredients in economic development, not much research has been carried out in developing countries to determine the effects of these three variables, taken together, on economic growth. Most of these studies focus on the effects of exports on

Recently there has been a tremendous effort in greening the tourism industry due to its negative environmental impacts. The efforts of greening the lodging industry in Malaysia is growing slowly due to several barriers. The aim of this study is to determine the barriers of green hotels and resorts in Malaysia. This study employed qualitative method

Purpose: To evaluate the retinal hemodynamic response to normoxic hypercapnia among patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and differing nocturnal blood pressure (NBP) profiles, using Doppler spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods: Doppler SD-OCT retinal blood flow (RBF) measurement was acquired using the circum-pa

Tetrathionate hydrolase produced by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has been known to be the enzyme responsible in the devulcanization of used rubber prior to recycling. The aim of this study was to statistically obtain a model that would yield an optimized media concentrations for the best production of this bacterial enzyme. One-factor-at-a-time (OFAT)

Malaysia is currently experiencing an emerging trend to focus on workplace specific language needs. This paper investigates if the field trip activity which is a component in EOP, helps graduates in meeting the industry's language requirement.Zarinah Jan Yousof Khan, Dr.Khairiah Othman, Dr. Zalika Adam CELPAD, International Islamic University M

There have been debates and discussions on the influence of Greek on Arabic. Modern historians such as Ahmad Amīn in his book Öuha al-Islām(1969) say that Hunain bin Ishāķ(260H/873A.D) ( J.Ruska,1980:134) went to Rome to learn Greek and then came back to Başrah to learn from Khalīl (Amīn Ahmād, 1978:v.1:313). This idea is strongly supporte

This review explores the significance of patient safety in the two ASEAN nations of Thailand and Malaysia. It discusses the implications of upholding patient safety in the context of health care and also for developing medical tourism in both the countries. The relevance of human factors in patient safety is examined from the multi-level perspectiv

Cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) is easily prepared from crude enzyme and has many advantagesto the environment and it is considered as an economic method in the context of industrial biocatalysiscompared to free enzyme. In this work, a highly active and stable CLEA-lipase from cocoa pod husk (CPH)which is a by-product after removal of cocoa be

Scientific breakthroughs have to some extent helped man’s understanding of the laws of nature. However, scientific breakthroughs have raised some philosophical and moral concerns among ethicists as well as scientists. This is because, while scientific breakthroughs are worthwhile, nevertheless, in the prospect of putting scientific achievements i
