The majority of waqf assets available across the Muslim world today consist of immovable property such as land and buildings; all of which conform to Shariah principles. In line with the global changes and current needs, dedicated assets for the purpose of waqf have evolved from movable to immovable assets to include cash, stocks and bonds. However

Lacking statistic on reading habit among Malaysian, right location in relation to reading preference in the built environment, less attractive of reading programs and deficiency of reading persuasions among citizen are some of the key issues in Malaysian literacy. The paper assesses the reading habits of the adult group in relation to the built env

Peritonitis is a common complication in patients that undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This problem causes a major difficulty in performing CAPD treatment efficiently and successfully; especially with the patients that develop this problem at the early stage of training period. Hence, this study was conducted to measure

The purpose of this research project is to investigate the effects of amount of catalyst, the ratio of solid to methanol and different temperature on the biodiesel yield. Solid coconut waste and heterogeneous catalyst derived from the waste, which is calcium oxide (CaO) are used to produce biodiesel and also examine the kinetics of the reactive ext

The aim of this study is to optimize the transesterification using potassium hydroxide (KOH)-supported polyvinyl alcohol to ease the separation process between glycerol and biodiesel. The design of experiment used was factorial composite design (FCD) and the effects of the amount of catalyst ranging from 0.5 wt% to 10 wt%, methanol to oil ratio fro

In this study, heterogeneous catalysts were synthesized from mixture of calcined solid coconut waste and eggshells as a catalyst for the transesterification of palm oil. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize the amount of catalysts (coconut waste:calcined eggshells ratio) for production of b

The waste food material namely fish bone is screened for biodiesel synthesis by transesterification reaction to achieve the highest biodiesel yield. The fish bone was chemically treated with Al(NO3)3.9H2O to enhance the biodiesel yield. The solid oxide materials were calcined at 900 °C for 2 - 4 h to convert CaCO3 to CaO species. Transesterificati

A kinetic study of in situ transesterification of solid coconut waste was conducted at 55-65°C. The mixing is kept constant at 350 rpm. The maximum conversion of 38.3% was obtained at 60°C, 1:10 solid to methanol ratio and 5 weight (wt.) % of catalyst. The feedstock was obtained after coconut milk extraction. The conversion of solid coconut waste

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is extensively used nowadays especially in the industries due to its desirable properties of high strength, light weight and high resistance to corrosion. However, the machining of CFRP composites requires great specification and requirement as it is difficult to be machine. Besides, improper technique and par

Financial ethics emphasises the importance of developing and sustaining ethics in financial transactions. The term “financial ethics” can be understood as ethics as it is applies to ethical and moral issues in finance. In the context of Islamic finance, Islamic financial institutions that are governed by the principle of the sharī‘ah, are ex
