The Status of International Law in the Malaysian Municipal Legal System: Creeping Monism in Legal Discourse
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This article revisits the status of international law in the Malaysian municipal legal system and considers whether monism is the doctrine or the preferred doctrine in relation to the proper place of international law in Malaysia. This revisit is necessary because of the tendency in some legal writings and legal opinions to take a cavalier approach

Aspects of Civilizational Islam
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Civilizational Islam is not a new religion, doctrine or sect. It is an idea which aims to draw the attention of the Malaysians and the world at the large to the correct understanding of the religion of Islam. In this paper the author studies two of ten principles of civilizational Islam. The paper argues that for the project to succeed it must be p

The Use of Fibrin and Poly(lactic-Co-glycolic Acid) Hybrid Scaffold for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering: an in Vivo Analysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Our preliminary results indicated that fibrin and poly(lactic co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) hybrid scaffold promoted early chondrogenesis of articular cartilage constructs in vitro. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo cartilaginous tissue formation by chondrocyte-seeded fibrin/PLGA hybrid scaffolds. PLGA scaffolds were soaked carefully, in cho

Fibrin and Poly(lactic-Co-glycolic Acid) Hybrid Scaffold Promotes Early Chondrogenesis of Articular Chondrocytes: an in Vitro Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Synthetic- and naturally derived- biodegradable polymers have been widely used to construct scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) are bioresorbable and biocompatible, rendering them as a promising tool or clinical application. To minimize cells lost during the seeding procedure, we used the nat

Antioxidants Intake and Status, and Oxidative Stress in Relation to Breast Cancer Risks: a case-Control Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A case control study was carried out to investigate associations between breast cancer risk, antioxidant status and oxidative stress among women in Klang Valley and Selangor. A total of 57 newly diagnosed cases aged 30 to 66 years old participated and were matched for age and ethnicity with 139 controls with no diagnosis of cancer or other chronic

three-Dimensional Static Shape Control Analysis of Composite Plates Using Distributed Piezoelectric Actuators
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this work, based on a linear piezoelectric constitutive model, a three-dimensional finite element code using an eight-node brick element that includes the anisotropic and coupled field effects of piezoelectric actuators has been developed for the static shape control analysis of fibre reinforced composite laminates. The code was used to study vo

Study of Islamic Perspectives of Professional Code of Ethics in the Field of Computing and Informatics
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Muslim Computing Professionals are required by the general will of God to adhere to Islamic worldview; a concept that refers to a comprehensive apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint or a personal philosophy of life, it involves creed, culture, attitude and way of thinking. The Islamic worldview as a philosophy for computin

Pattern Matching Algorithm for Artificial to Natural Dna Codes of a Dementia Brain
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Natural to natural DNA.sequencing has achieved high degree of accuracies in existing visualization and alignment techniques. This Dementia Brain research on animals used motif matching techniques in the natural to computer generated artificial DNA sequencing. The natural DNA sequence of dementia brain in a rat was extracted and visualized at the DN

bismuth-Based Brillouin / Erbium Fiber Laser
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A multi-wavelength Brillouin/erbium-doped fiber laser (BEFL) operating in the 1573 nm region is proposed and demonstrated. The system employs both linear and nonlinear gain from a bismuth-based erbium-doped fiber (Bi-EDF) approximately 215 cm long and a single mode fiber (SMF) of various lengths to generate an optical comb with a spacing of approxi

Fibrin Promotes Proliferation and Matrix Production of Intervertebral Disc Cells Cultured in three-Dimensional Poly(lactic-Co-glycolic Acid) Scaffold
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Previously, we have proven that fibrin and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds facilitate cell proliferation, matrix production and early chondrogenesis of rabbit articular chondrocytes in in vitro and in vivo experiments. In this study, we evaluated the potential of fibrin/PLGA scaffold for intervertebral disc (IVD) tissue engineering u
