The purpose of this research is to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework for interpreting Shariah governance mechanism in Islamic financial institutions (IFIs). After reviewing existing theories that were used to explain the phenomenon of corporate governance, three most commonly used theories in the corporate governance and Shariah governa

Child casualties and fatalities due to motor vehicle crashes are an increasing concern. In side impact crashes, the investigation of neck forces pertaining to Child Restraint System design, misuse and crash parameters are yet unexplored due to modelling constraints and experimental limitations. In this work, a three year old child seated in a Child

A Type-2 Fuzzy logic controller adapted with genetic algorithm, called type-2 genetic fuzzy logic controller (T2GFLC), is presented in this paper to handle uncertainty with dynamic optimal learning. Genetic algorithm is employed to simultaneous design of type-2 membership functions and rule sets for type-2 fuzzy logic controllers. Traditional fuzzy

Network Mobility Basic Support Protocol (NEMO BSP) is considered as the most widespread network mobility protocol at the present time which is a logical extension of the MIPv6 operation. Hence, Location Update (LU) procedure of NEMO BSP is almost similar to MIPv6 registration apart from setting of the MR flag and sending of prefix in the Binding Up

Motor vehicle crashes have become the leading cause of death for children in many developed countries and the trend is on the rise in Malaysia. Child anatomy and physiology necessitates a separate restraints system to be implemented during vehicle travel. Although approximately twice as many crashes with a child fatality are frontal compared to lat

This paper aims to build an Arabic WEB-based learning system for Malaysian learners focusing on cognate words in the Arabic language and Malay language. This paper focuses only on the highlighted cognates in the lessons interface in the WEB-based system. The paper starts by the importance of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), benefits of u

A study is undertaken to characterize the Neck Force (NF) of a CRS restrained 3 year old child occupant involved in lateral and oblique side impact. The Response Surface Method is used to map the parameter sensitivity upon the NF for impact speed of 32.2 km/h (20 mph) both individually as well as cross interactively. Design of Experiments is used w

This study attempts to present Gülen's inspiring thoughts on nurturing inner peace and physical strength in the light of his master piece “Pearls of Wisdom”. This master piece discusses the very nature of the sub-lime worldview initiated and promoted by the Qur’an and Sunnah of Muhammad (s.a.w.). Inspired by the teachings of Islam – Qu

Due to the frequent occurrences of catastrophic disasters worldwide, several measures and approaches have been implemented by governments in an attempt to overcome and alleviate the hazards and risks. To date, governance has been identified as a crucial element by which to drive effective Flood Management (FM). The aim of this paper is to identify

In this work, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were hybridized with kenaf core fibers (KCF) to reinforce low density polyethylene (LDPE)/ thermoplastic sago starch (TPSS) blends. The effects of HNT loading (3–15wt.%) on the mechanical and physical properties were examined. The results showed an enhancement in tensile strength and modulus with the inc
