Green Infrastructure in Cities and Towns in Southeast Asian Countries: Quest for Research
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The cities in Southeast Asia are rapidly urbanised. Urbanisation in the region causes urban residents to live in a city with less balanced ecological system. Green infrastructure is known to be a vital indicator for urban environmental sustainability. The green infrastructure is all landscape types comprise of greenery and open spaces. Its network

Screening Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Genotypes for Resistance Against Drought
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Drought is regarded as one of the limiting factors in rice production nationally and globally. The present study was conducted to study morpho-physiological and biochemical responses of rice genotypes to drought stress, to identify potential traits for use as a selection criterion in breeding drought-tolerant rice at seedling stage and finally to i

Germination Performance and Biochemical Changes Under Drought Stress of Primed Rice Seeds
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Seed priming may improve germination performance of rice under drought. The present study was conducted to investigate the dynamics of seed biochemical changes during priming and post-priming germination under drought and to correlate those biochemical properties with the germination performance of primed seeds. The priming treatments were non-prim

Active Fire Safety Measures in the Heritage Timber Buildings in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia has a significant amount of heritage timber buildings located in every part of the country. The buildings symbolised the origin of the country’s vernacular architectural style as well as the historical representation of the local community culture and its surrounding context. However, due to the combustible nature of timber, these herita

Innovative Teaching of Anthropometric Through Morphosis Dualfunction Chair Design and Build
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research is about innovative teaching methodology and learning process of anthropometric study using “Morphosis Dual-Function Chair Design and Build”. The objectives of the study are to develop their knowledge in anthropometrics and ergonomic study and to familiarise first year architecture students about functional requirement and creativ

Comparison of Prediction Model Using Spatial Discriminant Analysis for Marine Water Quality Index in Mangrove Estuarine Zones
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The prediction models of MWQI in mangrove and estuarine zones were constructed. The 2011–2015 data em- ployed in this study entailed 13 parameters from six monitoring stations in West Malaysia. Spatial discriminant analysis (SDA) had recommended seven significant parameters to develop the MWQI which were DO, TSS, O&G, PO4, Cd, Cr and Zn. Thes

in-Silico Approach in Risk Assessment of Nutraceutical Properties
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Dietary supplements, including those containing botanical ingredients and botanical-derived compounds, have been marketed to consumers globally for many decades. However, the legislative framework for such products remains inconsistent across jurisdictions internationally. A common problem, concerning these nutraceutical product, is deficient infor

Cardiovascular Disease Awareness Among Women with Hypercholesterolemia and their Health Seeking Behavior – a Qualitative Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels. It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Malaysian women. However, many women are not aware of it and have a misconception that CVD is a disease that only affects men. Therefore, the main objectives of this study are to explore CVD awarenes

Nutrients and Chemical Oxygen Demand (Cod) Removals by Microalgae – Bacteria co-Culture System in Palm Oil Mill Effluent (Pome)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In Malaysia, large amounts of waste known as palm oil mill effluent (POME) are generated during the production process of crude palm oil. Conventionally, POME is treated using biological treatment that involves two processes; aerobic and anaerobic. These processes however, require long hydraulic retention time and produce methane and carbon dioxide

The Proposed Future Infrastructure Model for Basic Occupational Health Services in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The objectives of occupational health services (OHS) are to create a healthy and safe working environment, prevent work-related diseases, optimise employees’ functional capacity and promote health. According to the literature, global accessibility to OHS has not shown much improvement and even worsened in certain countries. The main challenges co
