Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between clinical/socio-demographic factors with knowledge and attitude on sex among medical students of the National University of Malaysia (UKM). Methods: A cross-sectional study assessing 452 students using a self-administered questionnaire of knowledge and attitude was p

Development of Effluent Removal Prediction Model Efficiency in Septic Sludge Treatment Plant Through Clonal Selection Algorithm
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study aims at developing a novel effluent removal management tool for septic sludge treatment plants (SSTP) using a clonal selection algorithm (CSA). The proposed CSA articulates the idea of utilizing an artificial immune system (AIS) to identify the behaviour of the SSTP, that is, using a sequence batch reactor (SBR) technology for treatment

Assessment of Radar reflectivity-Rainfall Rate, z-R Relationships for a Convective Event in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abstract— Various relationships between radar reflectivity Z and rainfall rate R commonly identified as Z-R relationships have been derived in order to provide better accuracy for rainfall rate estimation using weather radar. It is critical for the air traffic management at the airport to accurately detect existence of potential microburst and wi

Simple and Efficient Multibiometric Technique for Subject Recognition Using Multilead Electrocardiogram Signal
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, a simple and effective multibiometric technique for subject recognition using multiple lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is presented. The proposed technique significantly improves the recognition performance of a biometric system by using multiple sources available in the same modality group. A total of 30 subjects with 12 lead E

Factors Influencing Academics’ Knowledge Sharing Behaviour in United Arab Emirates Public Universities
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The main objectives of this research are to (i) explore the relationship between types of knowledge and academics’ knowledge sharing behaviour, (ii) examine the relationship between knowledge sharing behaviour and its predictors based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, and (iii) identify the factors motivating and hindering academics’ knowledg

Evaluation of Radar reflectivity-Rainfall Rate, z-R Relationships During a Stratiform Event in the Tropics
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abstract—A number of factors can certainly affect the accuracy of Z-R relationships; including poor hardware calibration. The inaccuracy might also be due to the differences between the ground-level precipitation and the precipitation aloft since a radar does not scan all the way down except at close range. Several Z-R relationships had been prop

Valuing Biodiversity: a Qur’anic Account
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Species diversity has been the hallmark of biosphere and invaluable resource for human being as well as for the natural environment. In order to appreciate and conserve these diverse species which are constituents of nature, different values from different frames of references have been proffered. This study examines biological diversity from the Q

Evaluation of Blood Loss During Internal (limb-Salvage) Hemipelvectomy for Pelvic Tumours : What Have We Learned So Far?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Pelvic tumour resections are complex and associated with extensive bleeding. Despite various blood management options in orthopaedic surgery, their used are limited particularly for pelvic tumour resections. Identifying predictive factors for a large amount of blood loss during surgery is essential. Objective: To evaluate the volume o

Outcome of Surgical Treatment of Pelvic Osteosarcoma : Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia Experience
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We reviewed the surgical treatment and outcomes of 13 patients with pelvic osteosarcoma treated in our centre in the past decade. The study sample included 9 males and 4 females with a mean age of 28.1 years. Four patients had ileal lesions, five had acetabulum lesions, one had a ischiopubis lesion, and three had involvement of the whole hemipelvis

Pilot Study on the Effect of Yasiin Recitation on the Haemodynamics of Ventilated Patients
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Qur’anic verses recitations to ill patients are practiced by many Muslims as a form of healing and worship. The effectiveness has been observed in many medical institutions; however, it has never been objectively measured and documented. This pilot study was conducted to construct a methodological approach to evaluate the therapeuti
