Some Evidence of Environmental Reporting by Shari'ah Compliant Companies in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Our study examines environmental disclosure practices of SharÊcah approved companies. The study investigates the extent SharÊcah approved companies report on the environment and compares this with non-SharÊcah approved companies. We also examine four variables that may influence the level of environmental disclosure in SharÊcah approved compani

Applications of Maqasid al-Shari’ah and Maslahah in Islamic Banking Practices: an Analysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Islamic Banking system has developed more than thirty years ago. Throughout its history, beside its successes, it assumed much controversies and criticism in its run to win the hearts of the Muslim clients. Established with the objective of providing an interest-free (riba-free) banking service, it has so far been criticized to open several other b

Improving Teaching Efficiency: an Application of QFD and Ahp
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

HSBL University College is one of the privately runned institutions of higher learning in Malaysia which offers, among others, various programs in Economics, Accounting and Business Administration. A recent survey conducted by the Faculty of Business (FB) of HSBL found that the students were not fully satisfied in the teaching and learning system o

Experimental and Numerical Study of Compression After Impact of Sandwichs Structures with Metallic Skins
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A finite element model is proposed to determine the residual print of sandwich structures with Nomex honeycomb core and metallic skins indented by a spherical indenter and to simulate its behavior when this indented structure is subjected to lateral compressive loading (known as CAI/ Compression after impact). The particularities of this model rely

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Sleeping Pills Use Among Students in a Malaysian University
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: This paper aimed to determine the prevalence of sleeping pills use among university students and its associated factors in Malaysia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2010 among 200 students from Management and Science University (MSU), Shah Alam, Malaysia. The survey was conducted by distributing self-administ

A Novel Scheme for Weld Microstructure Control Using Cryogenic Cooling
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The total energy input and heat transfer factors influence the after-weld microstructural features and hence properties of the joint. Low heat input has been suggested for fusion welding in order to avoid unfavourable grain morphologies in the welds. Also, the weld cooling cycle is crucial in the control of weld microstructures, particularly the ti

Adsorption of Lead from Aqueous Solution by a Novel Carbon Based Adsorbent
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Lead (Pb), due to its bioaccumulation ability, has been noted to have detrimental effects on the human body affecting the metabolism, blood and kidneys (Bansal and Goyal, 2005; Bowen, 1996). It is, therefore, imperative that lead be removed from water and wastewater to protect public health and aquatic lives. Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were

Immobilization of Cellulases Enzyme on Carbon Nanotubes (Cnts) for Cellulosic Compounds Degradation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The fast growing palm oil industry in Malaysia generates, amongst other wastes, Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) which consists of cellulosic materials. It is one of the major sources of Greenhouse Gases (GHG). However, the bioconversion of cellulosic materials in EFB, a renewable biomass, to valuable products will be the solution to the disposal problem an

Modification of Cdv Reactor for Carbon Nanomaterialns Production
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) reactor is one of the processes commonly used for carbon nanomaterial (CNM) production. This method is economical and provides high yield of good quality CNM. However, improvement of the CVD reactor system was necessary due to its long time requirement to complete each batch of production. A two-stage CVD was design

Causality in Islamic Philosophy : the Arguments of Ibn Sina
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Few ideas in the history of philosophy in Islam have been so much debated, attacked, and defended as has the thesis that a necessary connection exists between cause and effect, that cause and effect are so inextricably linked that the existence of one necessitates and implies that of the other, and that if the cause has occurred, the effect cannot
