Speaking Good Arabic: Learners’ Perceptions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Learners’ beliefs and perceptions play an important role in language learning. This paper describes a study investigating the perceptions of good as well as poor Malay speakers of Arabic regarding the Arabic language, and their views on the necessary skills and competencies to become good speakers of Arabic. It highlights the similarities and dif

Modelling of Impact on Sandwich Structure for Fast Maintenance Loops
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the aeronautical field, sandwich structures are widely used for secondary structures like flaps or landing gear doors. The modeling of low velocity/low energy impact, which can lead to a decrease of the structure strength by 50%, remains a designer’s main problem. Since this type of impact has the same effect as quasi-static indentation, the s

Problem Based Learning in Leaching Mathematics to Foreign Students
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Mathematics is a core subject for foundation students who will be taking up engineering, pharmacy, medicine and architecture. Therefore, it is crucial that a proper and effective method of teaching is adapted in order to build their understanding in mathematics. This paper discusses types of activities given based on problem based learning (PBL). 4

age-Related Rarefaction in the Fractal Dimension of Retinal Vessel
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Previous work suggests a general reduction in complexity with aging, referred to as the aging-complexity theory. Fractal dimension (FD) of the vessels in the retina is a global measure of the complexity of the vasculature. However, earlier works did not find any correlation between aging and FD of the retinal vasculature, in contrast to the finding

Loss of Calibre Information During Vessel Segmentation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

To obtain precise calibre measurements, there are two general approaches: segment the vessels and measure the diameter, and to measure the diameter from the greyscale images. While there is a claim that vessel segmentation does not solve diameter measurement problems it has not been proven experimentally. The aim of this work is two-fold: first, to

Usefulness of Ct Colonography After Incomplete or Failed Colonoscopy
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical usefulness of CT Colonography after an incomplete or failed colonoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS After incomplete or failed colonoscopy, seventeen patients underwent CT Colonography before and after intravenous injection of iodinated contrast agent, in supine and prone positions. Two-dimensional multiplanar reformat

Automated Inferior Tear Meniscus Height Measurement in a Sequence of Video
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Video analysis of the dynamics of the tear meniscus height (TMH) have been used in the diagnosis of dry eye. However, the existing techniques require substantial manual intervention. This research work aims to automate the process of estimating the change in the inferior TMH without manual intervention.Automated Inferior Tear Meniscus Height Measur

Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy in the Adult Icu 2012
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Sepsis still remains one of the commonest cause of ntensive care admission here in Malaysia. In the last six years following the first edition, there has been burgeoning increase in knowledge and usage of antimicrobials. However the pressing issues of growing antimicrobial resistance, inappropriate therapy and escalating cost compel for a more resp

Management of Achilles Tendon Injury
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Achilles tendon injury is a common cause of disability in adult sportsmen. The majority of cases are due to overuse injury often exacerbated or precipitated by specific and recognizable factors. The main reason is probably the increased popularity of recreational sports among middle-aged people. The 2 most frequently discussed pathophysiological th
