Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Hermeneutical approach in dealing with the Qur’an as the holy book of Islam is wanted to be adopted by Muslims. Indeed, the issue of Qur’anic hermeneutics can illustrate this dimension of the meaning of hermeneia. The Qur’an was revealed in Arabic language onto the Prophet (PBWH), who was an inhabitant of a specific spacio-temporal world cons

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A plasticized polymer electrolyte system composed of PVDF-HFP, potassium iodide (KI), and equal weight of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) has been used in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The electrolyte with the composition 40wt. %PVDF-HFP-10wt.%KI-50wt.%(EC + PC) exhibits the highest room temperature ionic conductivity of

Histomorphometric Analysis of the Endothelial Cell in Skin Microvasculature Among Diabetic Foot Ulcer Patients
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Changes affecting endothelial cells in the microcirculation of diabetic foot patients are important in the development of foot ulceration and subsequent failure to heal existing ulcers. Methods We studied 30 patients (10 control individuals, 10 with the neuropathic ulcer and 10 with neuroischaemic ulcer). The specimens were taken using skin punch b

An Improved Method for Achieving Chronic Blood Pressure Reduction Following Bilateral Adrenal Demedullation of Young Hypertensive Rats
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Adrenal demedullation in young adult, spontaneously hypertensive rats( SHRs) results in blood pressure reduction. However, inconsistent postoperative care of demedullated animals may results in indifferent study findings. The study aims to determine whether an improved method could prevent elevation of blood pressure in young adult SHRs. Fourteen y

Blood Pressure Reduction Following Bilateral Adrenal Demedullation of Young Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats; Comparison Between Normal Saline and Distilled Water Supplementation Postoperatively
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) supplementation is recommended to replace sodium loss in adrenal demedullation postoperatively . We propose that normal saline supplementation is not required postoperatively following adrenal demedullation. Twenty four young male and female SHRs weighing 200-270g and 150-170g, respectively were studied. Six were sham-oper

Optimization of Process Parameters for the Production of Citric Acid Using Sewage Sludge as Major Fermentation Media
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A research was conducted on liquid state bioconversion for the production of citric acid using sewage treatment plant (STP) sludge as the main substrate with supplementation of sucrose as co-substrate. Three parameters were examined to determine the best process optimization conducted in two liter (2L) bioreactor. Two level factorial designs with t
