Family-based interventions have shown promising results in improving parenting style and strengthening family capacities to prevent substance abuse and delinquent behaviour worldwide. However, the effectiveness of a similar intervention in Malaysia has not yet been fully established. The current study investigates the effectiveness of a family-base

Enzymes are extensively used in various industrial, biomedical and biopharmaceutical applications. However, enzymes in their free form are unstable and expensive besides being characteristically susceptible to inhibition by high product concentrations and are highly sensitive to pH and temperature changes. Immobilization technology offers solutions

A retrospective record review was conducted among patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) aged 13 to 24 years, admitted to our institution for surgical intervention from 2000 to 2013. A total of 38 patients were studied to determine apical veretebrae location and lung function. The curvature of spinal deformity was measured by Cobb meth

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is one of the major sources of aquatic pollution in Malaysia. Phenolics production using organic residue of POME and potential Aspergillus niger strains would be a novel approach to solve this problem. Thus screening was conducted for seven locally isolated Aspergillus niger strains namely IBS-101ZA, IBO-103MNB, IBS-10

Pollution problem posed by dye contamination, resulting from errant human technological activities has for long posed a challenge for researchers. Biosorption is becoming a promising alternative to replace or supplement the present dye removal processes, which are used for removing dyes from wastewater. In this study, the removal of four dyes; Cong
