The Risks and Perceived Rewards of Rising Revivalist Populism in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Recently, Malaysia has experienced a palpable surge in populism that has swept across the nation’s political and social landscape, stirring debate and discord. The case of Akmal Saleh, leader of UMNO’s youth wing, and the unfortunate saga concerning socks adorned with the word “Allah” serve as a poignant reflection of this trend. This incid

Transient Flow in a Compressor Blade Row for a Periodic Vibration Motion
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The goal of this work is to conduct a transient compressor blade row flow simulation as part of blade flutter modeling. An integral step of blade flutter modeling is the calculation of the aerodynamic damping factor as a function of the possible vibration mode shapes. Using Fourier method, the number of blade passages required for transient flow an

Application of Robots in Improving Joint Attention and Imitation Skills for Children with Autism: a Comprehensive Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Increasing interest on autism brings about prospect of use of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) method as an assistive tool for therapy. This article presents a review of contemporary topic related to HRI studies to facilitate the improvement of joint attention and imitation skill for ASD children. This review highlights the relevance of past research.

Spiritual Care in Palliative Contexts: Perspectives from Hindu Family Caregivers – a Scoping Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This scoping review examines spiritual care in palliative settings from the perspective of Hindu family caregivers, utilizing articles from ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, and applying the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool. By analyzing eleven studies published between 2019 and 2023, we uncover how Hindu spirituality influences c

Periodicity of a Discrete Standard Map on 3-dimensional Lattice
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abstract: The study of resonances of Hamiltonian systems with a divided phase space is a well-established area of research which attracted the interests of many researchers over the years. One can study such resonances over a discrete space. This paper focuses on the rotational motion of the orbits in the 3-dimensional lattice, ℤ3. We construct d

A Comparative Study on the inter-Session and inter-Examiner Reliability of Corneal Power Measurement Using Various Keratometry Instruments
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate inter-session repeatability, inter-examiner reproducibility and inter-device agreement of corneal power measurements from manual keratometer, autokeratometer, topographer, Pentacam high resolution and IOLMaster. Methods: Two sets of mean corneal power measurements (n=40) were compared for inte

In Vitro and in Vivo non-Viral Sry (Sex Determining Region Y)-box 9 (Sox9) and Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (Tert) Genes Transfer in Chondrocytes: Work in Progress
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives/Research Problem: Degenerative joint disease normally affects older population which eventually disturb patient’s mobility. Current available prescriptions and surgical procedures are incapable to cure the disease completely due to the nature of avascular cartilage. Gene transfer and tissue engineering have emerged as promising approac

Viability and Glycosaminoglycan Content in Chondrocytes Transfected with Sry (sex-Determining Region Y)-box 9 and Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Genes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a major component of cartilage matrix. This essential polysaccharide has the capacity to attract water molecules. Such capacity is important in cartilage primarily because it absorbs shock and provides lubrication in joint. Cartilage degeneration is often a normal ageing change. Along the process, the cartilage cell; chon

Effects of Sry (Sex Determining Region Y)-box 9 (Sox9) and Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (Tert) Genes Transfection in Chondrocytes Seeded on three-Dimensional Scaffolds: Gross Observation and Cell Proliferation Assay
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose: To evaluate the formation of in vitro 3D tissue constructs engineered from the SOX9 and TERT genes post-transfected chondrocytes seeded on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA) based scaffolds. Methods: With the approval of Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC,IIUM), the post-transfected rabbits’ chondrocytes were seeded on t

Refeeding Syndrome in a Malaysian Intensive Care Unit: an Assessment of Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcome
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: Refeeding hypophosphataemia (RH) is characterised by acute electrolyte derangement following the start of nutrition. Complications associated with this syndrome include heart failure, respiratory failure, paraesthesia, seizure and death. We aim to assess its incidence, risk factors, and outcome in our local intensive care unit (ICU). Met
