The Missed Early Diagnosis of ‘siamese Twins’ - Ethical Dilemma and Role of Family Physicians
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Conjoined twins (CT) are a rare embryological developmental accident of uncertain aetiology. Despite the prevalence being uncommon, this phenomenon carries a high rate of stillbirth and early neonatal death. Early detection is crucial to avoid unnecessary surgical delivery and sychological anguish to the expecting parents. Case presen

Black Soldier Fly Larvae as Alternative to Conventional Animal Feed: an Islamic and Science Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, is a worthwhile insect genus whose larvae have shown promise for sustainable animal feed because of their economical and premium protein. Concerns arise among Muslims about whether the usage of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) as animal feed is permissible by Shariah because hasyarat (insect)

Investigating Circular Economy and Sustainability Marketing in the Gulf: the Case of Uae
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Gulf countries are known for their high levels of consumption with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) topping the list. The per capita consumption rate of the UAE is reported to be over USD 21675 per person in 2021. This alarmingly high rate of consumption comes with the cost in the form of environmental decimation. Usually, marketing is considered the

Evaluation of Occupational Exposure to Tio2 Nanoparticles: microwave-Assisted Acid Digestion Method on Air Membrane Filters
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have been extensively used in various industrial sectors and applications, including cosmetics, catalysts, food additives, inks, paints, and coatings. However, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified TiO2 nanoparticles as a potential carcinogen for humans, meaning they may cause ca

The study identifies tour guides need to possess effectively and cater the needs of Muslim travellers and provide them with a positive and inclusive travel experience. The research utilizes a qualitative approach, employing data collection b

A Case of Foreign Body Aspiration Mimicking Asthma in Adult
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Foreign body aspiration is uncommon in adults who have no known risk factors such as mental retardation, poor dentition, or advanced age. Adults with foreign body aspiration are commonly misdiagnosed with bronchial asthma, however, does not respond to standard bronchodilator treatment. A thorough history-taking, focused physical examination and a h

The Missed Early Diagnosis of ‘siamese Twins’ - Ethical Dilemma and Role of Family Physicians
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A 25-year-old primigravida presents for Post Covid Assessment at 18 weeks gestation. During the assessment, ultrasound showed two fetuses with 2 arms, 2 legs, and 2 heads. The twins were joined at the thorax and upper abdomen. There was a single umbilical cord, and only one fetal heart was observed. A thoracophagus conjoined twin was diagnosed and

Exploring Pedagogy Components Used by the Lecturer to Teach Quantity Surveying Measurement Courses: a Pilot Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study is to explore the pedagogical components used by the lecturer to teach Quantity Surveying Measurement Courses (QSMC). According to the literature review, relatively little study has been conducted on the pedagogical components utilised in teaching QSMC, despite the fact that they are critical aspects for successful and efficient instruct

Reducing Suicidal Risk Using Artificial Intelligence
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This chapter explores how social media analysis can be used to identify and lessen suicidal behaviour with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit have been widely used, and thus, AI may be able to spot linguistic patterns in user posts that are related to suicidal thoughts. AI, as repre

Quantifying demand-Side Management in Sustainable Grid Networks by Industrial Load Flexibility with Variable Inertia Flywheel Induction Motors
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The load flexibility of industrial induction motor is explored considering energy reduction strategies.T he usage of a spinning flywheel with an adjustable moment of inertia is suggested in this paper to increase energy efficiency. A variable inertia flywheel (VIF) is presented in this work to regulate rotational speed and lower power consumption.
