Prevalence of Biopsy Proven Lupus Nephritis and Outcomes of their Treatments in Tertiary Center in Kuantan
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Lupus nephritis (LN) can lead to end stage kidney disease (ESKD) and mortality. Depending on biopsy, induction treatment includes intravenous cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil with concurrent corticosteroids with the aim to achieve clinical remission at least within 1 year post treatment. This study aims to investigate the pre

Edible Bird’s Nest: Seeing the Unseen
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cognitive enhancement is the growth or augmentation of the mind's core capacities via the improvement or expansion of internal or external information processing systems. Edible bird nest (EBN) is a natural dietary ingredient formed from the saliva of edible velvet nests. Supplementation with EBN has been shown to boost brain growth in animals.

Parkinson’s Genetics Research on Underrepresented Afrabia Populations: Current State and Future Prospects
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Parkinson’s disease (PD), the most common motoric neurodegenerative illness, has been extensively researched to better understand its complex pathophysiology. Nearly 80% of genome-wide association studies have been conducted on persons of European ancestry, indicating a lack of diversity in human genetics. Disparate representation may result in d

Production of Biogas from Food Waste Using the Anaerobic Digestion Process with biofilm-Based Pretreatment
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The production of biogas from food waste is a good approach to the minimization of food waste and increase in the production of renewable energy. However, the use of food waste as a feedstock for biogas production currently poses a difficulty due to an ineffective hydrolysis process, which is a pretreatment procedure and the initial step of the bio

Leveraging Genetic Diversity to Understand Monogenic Parkinson’s Disease’s Landscape in Afrabia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Parkinson’s disease may be caused by a single highly deleterious and penetrant pathogenic variant in 5-10% of cases (monogenic). Research into these mutational disorders yields important pathophysiological insights. This article examines the phenotype, genotype, pathophysiology, and geographic and ethnic distribution of genetic forms of disease.

Coping with Exploitative Working Conditions: a Case of Sri Lankan Migrants in Bahrain
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This case study is a detailed description of the experience of Sri Lankan migrant workers in Bahrain, exploring the labour market exploitation after arriving in Bahrain and coping strategies. These migrants’ labour market experiences show contrasting and negative experiences after arriving at their destinations. The qualitative research method wa

Hydrolysis of Food Waste with Immobilized Biofilm as a Pretreatment Method for the Enhancement of Biogas Production
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The present study shows the opportunity of using biofilm in the hydrolysis step of food waste (FW) to increase biogas production. Therefore, screened biofilm‐producing microorganisms were adopted to facilitate the biodegradation of organic compounds (OCs) and enhance the volume of biogas production. The biofilm‐producing microorganisms were fir

Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery as Kuala Lumpur’s Dark Tourism Site: a Transformative Insight
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

As the first established Muslim cemetery in Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery (JAMC) holds the city’s past. Since the establishment of JAMC, the graveyard has not received much attention from the public authority, leading to its derelict state. Hence, there is a need to revive and highlight the existence of JAMC as more than a purpose of

Implementation of Complex Engineering Problem Solving (Cep) and Complex Engineering Activities (Cea) in Malaysian Engineering Curriculum: a Pilot Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Complex problem solving is identified as a top skill required to thrive in the 4th Industrial Revolution, and it is emphasized in the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) Standard 12 graduate Attributes. However, in many cases, engineering programmes lack a clear understanding of the requirements of complex engineering problems, hindering the st

Grey Literature: Communication Between Nurses and Mechanically Ventilated Patients (Mvp) in Intensive Care Unit
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Being treated in the ICU can contribute to psychological problems and negative emotional outcomes for the mechanically ventilated patients, and one of the factors that may lead to such consequences is ineffective communication. As a nurse in the ICU, while providing nursing care, nurses must appreciate the uniqueness of each MVP and t
