Coronary Artery Spasm: a Quandary
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Coronary artery spasm can result in acute coronary syndrome. This vasospastic syndrome can cause profound morbidity and mortality as a significant proportion of patients continue to have angina despite optimal medical therapy. We illustrate the dilemma in managing a young woman who presented with non ST-segment myocardial infarction as a result of

group-Based Behavioural Intervention for Smoking Cessation: is it All in their Heads?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the studies used for the analyses, group counseling is defined as having a minimum of two group meetings, and follow-up of smoking status at least 6 months after the start of the program, with carbon monoxide (CO) validated cessation. Most programs used between six and eight sessions, with the first few sessions devoted to discussion of motivati

Smoking: Ban All Forms of Tobacco
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

REFER to reports calling for a ban on shisha smoking and wonder if we are missing the bigger picture. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death. According to the World Health Organisation, more than five million people will die from tobacco-related heart attacks, strokes, cancer, lung ailments or other diseases this year. That does not

Potential of Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Genotypes in Personalising 5-fluorouracil Therapy Among Colorectal Cancer Patients
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is a pyrimidine catabolic enzyme involved in the initial and rate-limiting step of the catabolic pathway of toxic metabolites of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Several studies have reported that deficiency of DPD and polymorphisms of its gene are related to 5-FU toxicities and death. Association between ser

Islamic Da‘wah and Civilizational Development : a Reflection
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Generally, DaÑwah is defined as a struggle of the followers of a religion to convert people from other religions. This misrepresentation has not only created misunderstandings about Islam and Islamic movement, it has also affected negatively the image of Islam and Islamic movement in the world. Islam represents the truth concerning human life and

Characterization of Purified Cellulase from Fermentation of Sewage Sludge
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The increasing volume of sewage sludge as well as the municipal and agricultural waste produced and the total managing cost every year has been one of the major environmental issues in Malaysia. The production of cellulase from domestic sewage sludge could possibly bring an economic importance in certain industries as well as a key to solve the pro

Phase Transitions for xy-Model on the Cayley Tree of Order Three in Quantum Markov Chain Scheme
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the present Note we study forward Quantum Markov Chains (QMC) defined on a Cayley tree. Using the tree structure of graphs, we give a construction of quantum Markov chains on the Cayley tree. By means of such constructions we prove the existence of a phase transition for the XY-model on a Cayley tree of order three in QMC scheme. By the phase tr

Weak Convergence of an Implicit Iterative Process with Errors for an Asymptotically Quasi i-Nonexpansive Mapping in Banach Spaces
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper we prove the weak convergence of the implicit iterative process with errors to a common fixed point of an asymptotically quasi I-nonexpansive mapping T and an asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mapping I in Banach spaces.May 27, 2011 10:52 WSPC/INSTRUCTION FILE 09˙Mukhsab Asian-European Journal of Mathematics Vol. 4, No. 2 (2011) 309�

On Dynamical System Relating to Quantum Markov Chain Associated with Ising Model on Cayley Tree
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the present paper, we study stability of the dynamical system corresponding quantum Markov chain (QMC) associated with the Ising model on Cayley tree of order two. To study certain properties of QMC we reduce our investigation to the study of dynamics of a nonlinear dynamical system. For such a dynamical system it is proved existence of exactly

Legal Obstacles in Shari’ah Corporate Governance of Islamic Financial Institutions in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper was sent to be published in the Journal of King Abdulaziz University for Islamic Economics. Also, it was presented in different title(1) in the Asia-Pacific Business Research Conference in Malysia, February 2011. The researchers highlighted the significant role of the Shari’ah corporate governance in the effectiveness and stability of
