The Study of Biodegradable Thermoplastics Sago Starch
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The motivation of this work is to lessen the dependence on non-degradable plastic packaging which can lead to waste disposal problems. In this paper, the alternative biodegradable material developed by using local available sago starch in the present of biodegradable glycerol as plasticizer, as well as a set of composition added with citric acid as

A Particle Swarm Optimization Levy Flight Algorithm for Imputation of Missing Creatinine Dataset
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Clinicians could intervene during what may be a crucial stage for preventing permanent kidney injury if patients with incipient Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and those at high risk of developing AKI could be identified. This paper proposes an improved mechanism to machine learning imputation algorithms by introducing the Particle Swarm Levy Flight algo

Cotton Reinforced Biopolymer Matrix Composite: Effect of Ultraviolet (Uv) on its Mechanical Properties
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Research on the production of composites from natural fibers has an enormous attention from researchers due to environmental awareness, which focusing to produce compostable bio-based composites and renewable raw materials that can be safely disposed after their use without polluting the environment. This paper reports the study on the effect of th

Properties of Compression Moulding starch-Nanoclay Biocomposites
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Most of the thermoplastic starch (TPS) is prepared via extruding machine and hot pressing method. The traditional thermoplastic starch was plasticized by water. This blend however, produces a brittle and lower strength of samples [1]. Glycerol and acylamide were among the plasticizers used to improve the strength of TPS. The presences of the inorga

A Measurement Model of the Determinants of Financial Exclusion Among micro-Entrepreneurs in Ilorin, Nigeria
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study investigated the various factors that impede both the access to and use of the requisite financial resources for entrepreneurial development in Nigeria. Data was collected via a survey questionnaire administered on micro-entrepreneurs in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. A measurement model using the structural equation modeling approach was

Towards Quality Child Care and Education Programs: a Pilot Study on Implementing iter-S in Assessing Nursery Environment in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Demands on Quality Education in Early Child Care and Education (ECCE) are rising. Thus, methods of assessing these demands are changing too. Currently, there are various tools that measure quality in ECCE. For example; there is the Observational Record of the Caregiving Environment (ORCE) (NICHD Early Childcare Research Network, 1996), ACEI Global

A Review of High Ideality Factor in Gallium nitride-Based light-Emitting Diode
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Theory concerning the high ideality factor of gallium nitride (GaN) based light emitting diode (LED) has been reviewed. The presence of a high ideality factor indicates a large forward voltage that results in efficiency reduction. The paper suggests that tunneling is the main reason defining the exponential behaviour of current-voltage measurements

The Influence of Sentiments in Digital Currency Prediction Using Hybrid sentiment-Based Support Vector Machine with Whale Optimization Algorithm (Svmwoa)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Getting an accurate prediction of a digital currency, also known as a cryptocurrency price index, becomes a significant factor in helping investors make the right decision. Failure to predict the movement of the crypto market gives a huge impact on profit loss. The difficult part is that market is dynamic in a way that is driven by many factors inc

Correlation of Serum Insulin Like Growth factor-I with Retinopathy in Malaysian Pregnant Diabetics
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

AIM: To study the association of serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) with diabetic retinopathy. ·METHODS: Serum IGF-1 levels were measured in 25 pregnant diabetic patients and 25 pregnant non-diabetic patients who were matched for age, ethnicity, parity and period of gestation. Fundus examination was performed in both groups at 28, 32 and 3
