IIUMToday is an official campus newspaper for the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), operated by students under the jurisdiction of the Department of Communication, and was established on 1 May 2014. To assess the acceptance of the campus newspaper, a study was conducted to test the Cultivation Theory. The objectives of the study are

The Chemical Chaperone, Pba, Reduces Er Stress and Autophagy and Increases Collagen Iv A5 Expression in Cultured Fibroblasts from Men with x-Linked Alport Syndrome and Missense Mutations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: X-linked Alport syndrome (OMIM 301050) is caused by COL4A5 missense variants in 40% of families. This study examined the effects of chemical chaperone treatment (sodium 4-phenylbutyrate) on fibroblast cell lines derived from men with missense mutations. Methods: Dermal fibroblast cultures were established from 2 affected men and 3 nor

A features-Based Comparative Study of the state-Of-the-Art Cloud Computing Simulators and Future Directions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

—Cloud computing has emerged during the last decade and turned out to be an essential component for today’s business. Therefore, many solutions are being proposed to optimize and secure the cloud computing environment. To test and validate the proposed solutions before deploying in real cloud infrastructure, a cloud computing simulator is the k

How do the Various Media Types and Vape Shops Impact the Perception of e-Cigarettes Use and Harm in Malaysia?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The popularity of e-cigarettes over conventional cigarettes is important to examine e-cigarette perceptions as to some why current cigarette smokers make a switch, while some do not. The objective of this study is to examine current smokers' perceptions on e-cigarette use following exposure to information derived from media and vape shop messag

Upregulation of Kappa Opioid Receptor System and its Association with Relapse to Morphine/methamphetamine (poly-Drug) Addiction
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The kappa opioid receptor (KOR) system has been linked to many types of drug addiction. An upregulation of the KOR leads to negative reinforcement effects which might contribute to drug relapse. Previously, our study has shown that a treatment combination of 0.3 mg/kg buprenorphine and 1.0 mg/kg methamphetamine (a partial nociceptin opioid peptide

Sepsis Mortality Score Using multi-Marker Approach for the Prediction of Mortality in Septic Critically Ill Patients
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Clinical scoring methods such as the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score are frequently used to predict outcome in sepsis, with limited capacity. Further tools for risk assessment of septic critically ill patients would thus be useful. Our purpose was to derive a scoring method i.e. Sepsis Mortality Score using multimarke

The Mosque as a Symbol of Islamic Civilisation: its Role and Function
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Every civilisation has a symbol that distinguishes it from other civilisations. Also, many civilisations have passed, and their symbols have disappeared, but the Islamic civilisation and its symbols have endured. Chief among the symbols of the Islamic civilisation is the mosque. It is one of the oldest institutions that continue to exist in every s

Happiness is the ultimate purpose of all human endeavours; the goal pursued by all human beings regardless of their religious and cultural differences. What i

The Influence of Tool Texture on Friction and Lubrication in Strip Reduction Testing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

While texturing of workpiece surfaces to promote lubrication in metal forming has been applied for several decades, tool surface texturing is rather new. In the present paper, tool texturing is studied as a method to prevent galling. A strip reduction test was conducted with tools provided with shallow, longitudinal pockets oriented perpendicular t

Influence of Tool Texture on Friction and Lubrication in Strip Reduction
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Tool texturing is studied as a method to enhance lubrication and prevent the occurrence of galling. Strip reduction test tools manufactured with longitudinal, shallow pocket geometries oriented perpendicular to the sliding direction are tested. The pockets have small angles to the workpiece surface and varying distance. The experiments show an opti
