Making Mudarabah Workable: Altering risk-Return Profiles Through Equity Kickers
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Critics of contemporary Islamic finance often highlight the absence of meaningful presence of equity-based financing instruments such as mudarabah. It has been argued that this is attributable to inter alia, the agency problems inherent in mudarabah financing. Within a risk and return framework, mudarabah financing presents an uninviting commercial

The Use of Multiplex real-Time Pcr Improves the Detection of the Bacterial Etiology of Community Acquired Pneumonia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality especially to children and compromised hosts, such as the old and those with underlying chronic diseases. Knowledge of pathogens causing CAP constitutes the basis for selection of antimicrobial treatment. Previous data have shown that etiological agents can be iden

Classroom Participation Patterns: a Case Study of Malaysian Undergraduate Students
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study aims to document undergraduate students’ patterns of participation in Malaysian classrooms. Interviews and observation were carried out. Around 85 students from two communication classes were observed over the period of two semesters (28 weeks). Most of the participants fell between the age of 18-19 years old (65.8%) and 66.7% of the p

Optimization of Process Parameters for the Production of Polypropylene Ternary Nanocomposites
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Preparation of Polypropylene ternary nanocomposites was accomplished by blending multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in polypropylene/clay binary system using melt intercalation method. The effects of MWCNT loadings (A), melting temperature (B) and mixing speed (C) were investigated and optimized using center composite design. The analysis of the fit

Kenaf Biomass as Potential Biopolymer
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research was made to synthesis polylactic acid (PLA) from kenaf biomass that is currently waste of kenaf fibre production. This project is carried out to aim in reducing the manufacturing cost of PLA, reducing market price of PLA and to sustain the green technology. Basically, the pre treatment process was done previously on kenaf biomass with

Dilated Intercellular Spaces of Esophageal Epithelium Among Malaysian with Non- Erosive Reflux Disease: Transmission Electron Microscopic (Tem) Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Dilated intercellular space (DIS) is considered as early signs of acid damage to the esophageal epithelium. The diffusion of refluxed gastric acid into the intercellular space activates chemo sensitive nociceptors whose signals are transmitted via the spinal cord to the brain for symptom (heartburn) perception as well as initiated a short reflex ar
