Prophet Muhammad was the most creative and innovative man in delivering the message of Allah to his followers. History has proven that his wisdom and innovative method in communicating to people was able to transform the ignorant and uncultured Arabs of his time into highly civilized people within decades after his demise. Taking into account of th

The Shariah Committee is responsible to ascertain that the banking and financial activities of the Islamic financial institution it represents, comply with the principles of Shariah. In fact, the bank has to consult with the Shariah Committee and has to adopt its advice on Shariah matters. Generally, from Islamic law perspective, the original rulin

We examine the impact of the establishment of the Audit Oversight Board (AOB) on audit effort and the effect of the introduction of provisions 317A and 320A of the Capital Markets and Services Act (CMSA) and earnings management. Thus, auditors have to put in more effort, which requires them to increase audit fees to compensate the increase in hours

Fuel cell system is a complicated system that requires an efficient controller. Model predictive control is a prime candidate for its optimization and constraint handling features. In this work, an improved model predictive control (MPC) with Laguerre and exponential weight functions is proposed to control fuel cell oxygen starvation problem. To ge

A constrained model predictive control (MPC) is designed to regulate the air flow rate of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Oxygen excess ratio, compressor flow rate and supply manifold pressure are constrained to avoid oxygen starvation, surge and choke phenomena. This is achieved by manipulating compressor voltage and stack current. The

Flutter may be considered to be one of the most dangerous aeroelastic failure phenomenon. The flutter characteristic differs for each aircraft type, and depends on the wing geometry as well as its operational region of subsonic, transonic or supersonic speeds. Prior to performing a flight flutter test, extensive numerical simulations and Ground Vib

Flavonoids are natural inhibitors against platelet activating factor (PAF) receptor. PAF is involved in several patho-physiological conditions such as inflammation, atherosclerosis, asthma and thrombosis. The PAF actions can be inhibited by blocking its receptor with an antagonist. The aim of this study was to find the structure activity relationsh

Combination therapy is an effective strategy in management of many health problems. There is some evidence which support a pharmaco-mechanistic way to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) combination. The effectiveness of combination therapy as a treatment strategy for epilepsy and diabetic neuropathy is undergoing reassessment. This is a result of the incre

The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the establishment of the Audit Oversight Board (AOB) on audit effort and the effect of the introduction of provisions 317A and 320A of the Capital Markets and Services Act (CMSA) and earnings management. Specifically, it is argued that the monitoring role of the AOB leads to auditors being

Background: Surgical management of head and neck cancer is undoubtedly challenging, and we would like to see the outcome of managing such cases at one of the tertiary referral center in the East Coast of Malaysia. Methods: A 6-year retrospective analysis of surgically treated head and neck cancer cases in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA) Kuantan
