Allegorical Interpretation of the Role of Philosophy in the Discourse of Philo and Ibn Rushd
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Instead of dismissing traditional mythology and poetry as heresies, Greek philosophy introduced a methodology of understanding known as allegory. Philo of Alexandria (20 BC–50 AD) was one of the first to employ allegory for understanding religious scriptures whose writings survived in the Christian traditions. In the Arab world, the philosopher I

Reactive Oxygen Species and Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Activity in Hodgkin Lymphoma Cells
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Tumor cells with tumorigenic potential might be limited to a small population of cells, called cancer-initiating cells (CICs). CICs efficiently form colonies in vitro, yield both CIC and non-CIC populations, maintain reactive oxygen species (ROS) at low levels, show high aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity, and are mostly in a quiescent state of

Preliminary Study of 4-arms Poly(Caprolactone) star-Shaped Polymer: Synthesis and Characterization
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Star-shaped polymers have vast potential in bioapplication due to their architecture. In this study, the suitability of ring opening polymerization (ROP) technique to synthesis star-shaped poly(caprolactone) and the thermal properties of the synthesized star-shaped polymers were demonstrated. The 4 -arm star-shaped of poly(caprolactone) (4s PCL) wi

Participation of Annexin 1 in the Response of Arabidopsis Thaliana to Lead Exposure: Potential for Phytoremediation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Heavy metal pollution has become a serious public health and environmental concern. Lead (Pb) is one of the heavy metals known to bioaccumulate in plants. Phytoremediation is an emerging technology based on the ability of green plants to remove Pb from the environment in a cost-efficient and ecologically sound manner. Currently, an important resear

The Study on Production Performances of Part Transporter in Flexible Manufacturing System by Using Simulation Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Material handling is one of major components in Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Any improvement of material handling capability is to affect the performance of the whole system. This paper discusses the simulation study on the effect of part arrival rate and dispatching rules to the average waiting time and production rate of the FMS. The faci

Development of ciprofloxacin-Loaded pcl-Peg Hydrogel
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The incorporation of polymer blending into hydrogel formulation is expected to improve the drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of the hydrogel for skin application. Star-shaped polymer made up of poly(caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PCL-b-PEG) has a great potential to be used as polymer blending in the hydrogel formulation as the PCL r

Chemical Composition and Antibacterial Activities of Essential Oil of Thymus Capitatus from Jordan
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The essential oils from the dried leaves of Thymus capitatus was isolated by steam distillation. The collected oil were analyzed by GC-MS and also evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity. Twenty-two compounds, constituting about 95.4% of the total oil, were identified. The main constituents were thymol (39.2%), p-cymene (19.4%), carvacrol (11

Islam and the Malay World: an Insight Into the Assimilation of Islamic Values
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The spread of Islam to the Malay World, a term used to refer to the majority of Malay-Muslim dominated nations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and the minority Malay-Muslim population of Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore and Philippines brought several changes. Before the arrival of Islam the Malay civilisation was characterised by Hindu a

Shared Identity Construction: the Third Space Exploration
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ethnic and cultural tension and conflicts have escalated in Malaysia bringing undesirable impacts on the nation’s economy and, most importantly, on inter-ethnic relationships. Thus, this study proposes the need to construct a shared Malaysian identity, starting from the classroom, which is facilitated by teachers through the use of short stories
