Newly Diagnosed Tuberculosis Patients and Tobacco Use in North Malaysia: the Prevalence of Tobacco Use, Knowledge, and Attitudes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Sufficient evidence concludes that tobacco smoking is strongly linked to tuberculosis (TB). It was suggested that a considerable proportion of the global burden of TB may be attributable to smoking. This study aimed to document the prevalence of smoking among newly diagnosed TB patients and to learn about their tobacco use knowledge and

Is Zakat Fund Collected Investible?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Zakat being the fifth pillar of Islam tends to be discussed among the Muslims from the general collection and distribution aspects. The collection and disbursement functions of zakat appear to be straight forward cases. As with any funds, the zakat fund will naturally accumulate as a result of payments from eligible Muslims, and after disbursement,

A Critical Examination of the Definition and Implementation of Riqab (Slavery) by a Selected Bait al-Mal in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Riqab (slavery) is one of the standard categories of Zakat expenditure sanctioned by Islam. Unlike in the old days where the incidence of slavery was common, modern life might find cases of slavery alien, almost non-existent. This study attempts to revisit the particular category as being managed by one of the Bait al-Mal’s in Malaysia. Objective

Role of High Augmentation Index in Spontaneous Intracerebral Haemorrhage
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is the most disabling and least treatable form of stroke. Its risk factors include old age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia, smoking and high alcohol intake, which are also associated with arterial stiffness. The aim of the present study was to determine the prognostic value of high

Holistic Energy Healing Practices: a Preliminary Study from an Islamic Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Healing is a mysterious process. It may come instantly or gradually, or it never happens. Healing may come in the simplest forms, such as a smile, specific words, love etc. It can also come through many mediums or techniques. disease can be defined as the state of not being at ease, and not beiing in alignment. According to one Al-Hadith "Every

Malaysia 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

Modeling and Analysis of Mrr, Ewr and Surface Roughness in Edm Milling Through Response Surface Methodology
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has grown over the last few decades from a novelty to a mainstream anufacturing process. Though, EDM process is very demanding but the mechanism of the process is complex and far from completely understood. It is difficult to establish a model that can accurately predict the performance by correlating the proces

Application of Multistage homotopy-Perturbation Method for the Solutions of the Chen 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 applied to the Chen system which is a three-dimensional system of ODEs with quadratic nonlinearities. The HPM is treated as an algorithm in a sequence of intervals for finding accurate approximate solutions to the Chen system.We shal

Solutions of Emden–fowler Equations by homotopy-Perturbation Methods
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, approximate and/or exact analytical solutions of the generalized Emden–Fowler type equations in the second-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are obtained by homotopy-perturbation method (HPM). The homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is a coupling of the perturbation method and the homotopy method. The main feature of the

Comparison of Homotopy Analysis Method and homotopy-Perturbation Method for Purely Nonlinear fin-Type Problems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is compared with the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) to determine the temperature distribution of a straight rectangular fin with power-law temperature dependent surface heat flux. Comparisons of the results obtained by the HAM with that obtained by the
