The existence of various races, ethnic groups, and religions in Malaysia, maps the pluralistic condition of her society. Such co-existences however have exposed Malaysians to potential conflicts. In reality, conflicts did occur due to lack of understanding on each other’s religion. To reduce the conflicts, Inter-religious dialogue (IRD) has been

The Feasibility of al-Faruqi’s meta-Religion Principles: Sharing of Research Experience
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper shares part of the research experience in applying al-Faruqi’s meta-religion principles for developing profile of religions in Malaysia. To capture the principles, two major categories have been recommended as the anchoring themes which are ‘permanent’ and ‘dynamic’. The categories were tested by means of in-depth interviews wi

Risk Management in Parallel Projects: Analysis & Best Practices and Implications to Generic Dbrain (Gdbrain) Research Project
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The increased stiffness in competition has dramatically increased the risk occurrence in project delivery. As the number of projects grows, enterprises or project managers have to eventually run simultaneous projects. Risk management in such cases becomes extremely necessary as failure of one project may lead to the near failure of all the parallel

The dexamethasone suppression test is a useful endocrinological test to diagnose Cushing's syndrome. However, its interpretation may be influenced by many factors such as stress, alcohol, failure to ingest the dexamethasone, altered metabolism, drug interaction and obesity. This report illustrates such an instance, whereby the result of the tes

Drive Against Hotspot Motifs in Primates Implicates the Prdm9 Gene in Meiotic Recombination
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Although present in both humans and chimpanzees, recombination hotspots, at which meiotic crossover events cluster, differ markedly in their genomic location between the species. We report that a 13-base pair sequence motif previously associated with the activity of 40% of human hotspots does not function in chimpanzees and is being removed by self
