Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study aims to validate the factor that perhaps influences the health status of an elderly at receiving home care. This research paper, we developed the R syntax for Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN) which considering the logistic based selection.

Sex education program among youth with disabilities is pertinent to their overall physical, emotional, health and well-being. However, due to its sensitivity and taboo, the topic is rarely addressed in the Malaysian context. The aim of this study is to explore the understanding about sex among disabled youth and how teaching sex education among dis

Ordered Logistic Regression with Artificial Neural Network Models for Variable Selection for Prediction of Hypertension Patient Outcomes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the best strategy for the variable selection, using the developed Ordered Logistic Regression (OLR) and Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP). At the first stage, all the selected variables will be a screen for their important relationship point of view through ordered logistics regression and bootst

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

My introduction will highlight some personal reflections on my work on election campaign discourse in a non-western context within the Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) framework. I will briefly discuss some of my concerns (and confusion) while researching issues that are absent from the theoretical or analytical radar of Western scholars but import

Estimating Productivity and Identifying the Frontier
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Analysis of productivity at industry and sectoral-level is often too broad to be a practical basis for policy and strategy formulations. To better translate the sectoral productivity into feasible and effective policies and incentives, it is therefore essential to understand how enterprise-level productivity patterns evolve by taking into account t

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Aim: To study the association between astigmatic anisometropia with visual acuity (VA) and stereopsis. Methodology: Twenty emmetropic adults with normal binocularity in age of 18 to 34 years old, were recruited. Unilateral against-the-rule astigmatism anisometropia was induced in each participant by using -1DC, -2DC, -3DC and -4DC toric soft contac
