Malaysian Pharmacy Students’ Assessment of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (Osce)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective. To implement and determine the effectiveness of an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) to assess fourth-year pharmacy students’ skills in a clinical pharmacy course. Design. A 13-station OSCE was designed and implemented in the 2007-2008 academic year as part of the assessment methods for a clinical pharmacy course. The br

Advances in Pharmaceutical Education: an Experience with the Development and Implementation of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (Osce) in an Undergraduate Pharmacy Program
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The objective of this paper is to describe how a hybrid-OSCE was developed and applied to an undergraduate clinical pharmacy course as a pilot for assessing clinical competence in a Malaysian university; to present some of the instruments utilized for the conduct and assessment of the examination; and to evaluate the performance of the students in

The Multistage homotopy-Perturbation Method: a Powerful Scheme for Handling the Lorenz System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, a new reliable algorithm based on an adaptation of the standard homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is presented. The HPM is treated as an algorithm in a sequence of intervals (i.e. time step) for finding accurate approximate solutions to the famous Lorenz system. Numerical comparisons between the multistage homotopy-perturbation meth

o-Band to c-Band Wavelength Converter by Using four-Wave Mixing Effect in 1310 Nm Soa
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper we provide a detailed account of an ultra-wideband wavelength converter that shifts from 1310 to 1550 nm using a 1310 nm semiconductor optical amplifier as the nonlinear medium. The experimental approach uses an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) as a method to slice the broadband output ASE of the 1310 nm SOA into multiple outputs at th

Application of homotopy-Perturbation Method to Klein–gordon and sine-Gordon Equations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is employed to obtain approximate analytical solutions of the Klein–Gordon and sine-Gordon equations. An efficient way of choosing the initial approximation is presented. Comparisons with the exact solutions, the solutions obtained by the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the variational

A New Reliable numeric-Analytic Technique to Solve Nonlinear System of Ordinary Differential Equations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, an analytical expression for the solution of the prey-predator problem by Modified homotopy-perturbation method (MHPM) is presented. The MHPM is treated as an algorithm for approximating the solution of the problem in a sequence of time intervals, \ie the classical HPM is converted into a hybrid numeric-analytic method called the mul

Antibacterial Activity of Extracts from Calophyllum Canum
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The species of the genus Calophyllum (Guttiferae) are mainly distributed in tropical area. Plants from this genus are known as a rich source of secondary metabolite such as xanthones, coumarins, chromenes, flavonoids and triterpenoids. Some of this compounds exhibit significant biological effects antibacterial, antifungal, anti HIV and immunomodula

Solving Linear System of Partial Differential Equations by homotopy-Pertubation Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is employed to obtain approximate analytical solution to the linear systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). HPM yields solutions in convergent series forms with easily computable terms, and in linear cases, yields exact solutions. Comparisons with the exact solutions show the potential

Governance and Development: a Perspective on Malaysia’s New Economic Policy (1971-1990)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia gained its independence from Britain in 1957. On the eve of its independence the country was counted among the poor countries; yet it was economically better off than most newly independent countries. Among Asian countries it ranked next only to Japan and South Korea in terms of income per capita. (Emsley 1998) Yet, we find that the specte

Herd Behavior in Malaysian Capital Market: an Empirical Analysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study examines the existence of herd behavior among foreign investors in the Malaysian capital market. In methodology, the study analyzes the herd behavior by estimating vector error correction (VECM) model of FPI inflows as well as FPI outflows from/to major investors such as the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong using qu
