Indoor Air Quality Assessment in Selected Child Care Institutions (Nurseries and Kindergarten) at Kuantan, Pahang: the Implication of Occupancy on Iaq
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Children breath proportionately greater volumes of air compared to adults, thus they inhale more pollutants per pound of body weight. Higher occupancy may contribute to the higher level of indoor air pollutant. Besides, the age of the children determine their susceptibility towards diseases. Infants aged up to 1 year old are more susceptible compar

This paper is based on the study of morphological changes in Melaka, Malaysia. In order to identify the morphology of this city, the street network has been studied to determine the evolutionary of urban form and structure. The objective of this paper is to examine the movement and direction of the street pattern in influenced the morphology of the

Electron Microscopic Changes of the Liver Following Exposure to Organic Arsenic
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

BACKGROUND/AIM: There has been a growing concern over the toxicity of organic arsenic to the human body since recent studies indicated these compounds might be at least as toxic as inorganic arsenic. The liver is the primary site of metabolism of arsenic. Therefore it is highly susceptible to the adverse effects of both organic and inorganic arseni

Palm Olein Emulsions Potential Vehicles for Drug Delivery
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Palm olein emulsions were produced using the combinations of Span® and Tween® surfactants by mechanical homogenisation. Effects of the types of surfactants, concentrations, effective HLB and the types of viscosity modifiers and concentrations on the characteristics of the emulsions were investigated. With palm olein content of 20% (w/w), stable o

Review: in Vitro Study Revealed Sugar as Anticancer Constituent = İn Vitro Çalışmalar Şekeri Bir Antikanser Bileşeni Olarak Gösteriyor; Literatür Derleme

The majority of deaths among cancer patients are attributed to the metastatic spread of cancer cells to vital organs instead of primary tumor outgrowth. Plus, cancer therapeutics which focusing on conventional chemotherapy is often toxic not only to tumor cells but also to normal cells and caused their therapeutic use is limited. In this review, ab

Collaterals' Issue in Rahn Scheme and Conventional Pawn Broking: a Literature Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Rahn or pawn broking is one of contracts that Islam allows to assist people when they are short of money to ease their financial difficulty. Obviously, in Islamic teaching, collaterals other than gold and silver are allowed but the collaterals' variation in Islamic institutions in Malaysia do not apply this teaching in their system as compared

Enhanced Piezoelectric Properties of Aluminium Doped Zinc Oxide Thin Film for Surface Acoustic Wave Resonators on a Cmos Platform
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The increase in frequency spectrum for wireless communication system has led to the growing interest in thin film electroacoustic technology that scales favorably upon miniaturization. Non-ferroelectric piezoelectric thin films such as Zinc Oxide is one of the most promising material for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor-Microelectromechanica

Plasma Cystatin C and Estimates of Glomerular Filtration Rate Using Cystatin C Independently Diagnosed Acute Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Patients with Sepsis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Plasma Cystatin C (CysC) is as an early functional marker for acute kidney injury. Estimates of glomerular filtration rate using CysC (eGFRCysC) has been used in some clinical setting. We evaluated the utility of CysC and eGFRCysC in diagnosing AKI and predicting death in critically ill patients with sepsis. Methods: This is an interi

Prevalence of Acute Kidney Injury and Sepsis in a Malaysian Intensive Care Setting
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is common in patients admitted to the intensive care unit, occurring in 30 to 60% of patients. The high incidence of AKI in our population may be attributed to sepsis. Sepsis is the leading cause of ICU admission. The Malaysian Registry of Intensive Care (MRIC), an annual ICU audit performed in all Malaysian I
