Transition in self-Identity: a Sociological Narrative of Tamil Muslims in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The history of Tamil Muslims is intertwined with the Malay Archipelago since antiquity because of their geographical proximity. A community that has valued its heritage is now forced to reinvigorate itself and bridge through the current socio-economic and political scenario of Malaysia. The subsequent change in self-identity is viewed through the s

Identification of α-glucosidase Inhibitors from Clinacanthus Nutans Leaf Extract Using Liquid chromatography-Mass spectrometry-Based Metabolomics and protein-Ligand Interaction with Molecular Docking
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The present study used in vitro and in silico techniques, as well as the metabolomics approach to characterise α-glucosidase inhibitors from different fractions of Clinacanthusnutans. C. nutansis a medicinal plant belonging to the Acanthaceae family, and is traditionally used to treat diabetes in Malaysia. n-Hexane, n-hexane: ethyl acetate (1:1, v

Aim/Purpose Education is vital as it is a major investment in human capital. Tertiary education, in particular, contributes to the growth of knowledge and advances skills, which helps in the development of a country. This paper aims to look at the research and technological output at the tertiary level in Saudi Arabia and Iran. Background Saudi Ara

Application of Direct fluorescence-Based Live/dead Staining for Assessment of Antifungal Activity of Coconut Oil Against Candida Albicans
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Candida albicans is one of the common causes for oral candidiasis worldwide. The proliferation of antifungal-resistant C. albicans has become a major concern. This study was carried out to evaluate activated virgin coconut oil (AVCO) and crude extract of virgin coconut oil (VCO) as new antifungal agents for treatment of oral candidiasis. C. albican

Modular Robotic Platform for Autonomous Machining
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Product miniaturisation is one of the key aspects of modern manufacturing technology. One of the ways to fabricate miniaturised product is micromachining using sophisticated computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools. However, conventional CNC machines are bulky, stationary, and unable to carry out parallel operations. This research aims t

Rapid Investigation of α-glucosidase Inhibitory Activity of Clinacanthus Nutans Leaf Using Infrared Fingerprinting
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The analytical method used in the quality control of Clinacanthus nutans leaves has not been well developed. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a simple analytical method to predict α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of this herb based on its infrared fingerprinting. The dried extracts obtained from maceration using solvents with different pola

Performance Assessment of Passive Heating and Cooling Techniques for Underground Shelter in Equatorial Climate
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Underground shelter serves as a specialized building structure that can provide either heating or cooling to occupants during different climates depending on the requirements. In this study, the CFD model of the 3D underground shelter was simulated at different seasons of the year in Malaysia. Initially, the soil temperature distributions at variou

Dental Anxiety and Association with Psychological Sympyoms Among Adults Attending IIUM Kuantan Health Facilities
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: There was dearth evidence on prevalence of dental anxiety among general population and its associated factors. Most researchers in Malaysia focused on undergraduates and pregnant mothers. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of dental anxiety among general adult population in Kuantan, Malaysia and its ass
