Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

As many of the high-end functions and services have been increasingly supported by the expansion of information technology (IT), it has become salient to explore any factor that may make individuals more prone to use it. When it comes to the user, technological and contextual features, there may be quite a difference in settings that are profession

Acceptance of IIUM.FM by Human Sciences Undergraduate Students
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study investigates Human Sciences (HS) students’ acceptance of IIUM.FM, their newly established online campus radio, by using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical background. An external variable, knowledge, was added to the original model. The objectives of this study are to (1) find out the patterns of listening among stude

Students’ Acceptance of an Internet Campus Radio: a Test of the Technology Acceptance Model
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This study investigates Human Sciences (HS) students’ acceptance of IIUM.FM, their newly established online campus radio, by using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical background. An external variable, knowledge, was added to the original model. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to gather data through a self-administere

Antioxidant Activity in Children with Adhd – a Comparison in Untreated and Treated Subjects with Normal Children
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a frequently encountered clinical condition in children. Based on DSM IV-TR criteria it can be sub-classified into three distinct types namely hyperactiveimpulsive, inattentive and combined. Materials and Methods: In the present study, salivary antioxidant activity (AOA) in children w

Empyema Thoracis Complicated by Pneumothorax Neccessitans Manifesting as Lobulated, Localized Subcutaneous Emphysematous Swellings
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We describe a patient with empyema thoracis that had eroded through the apical chest wall to the supraclavicular fossa and lung parenchyma, ultimately leading to a bronchopleural fistula manifesting as lobulated, localized subcutaneous emphysematous swellings over the chest wall and supraclavicular fossa. This is a rarely reported phenomenon and th

Performance Evaluation of Pcbn in End Milling of Aisi D2 Hardened Steel Under Room and Preheated Machining Conditions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, the tool life and tool wear performance of PCBN tool in end milling of AISI D2 hardened steel under room and preheated machining conditions is presented. The tool life and tool wear patterns were examined through tool maker microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results show that the dominant modes of tool wear observed wer

Intrapleural Streptokinase for the Treatment of Chylothorax
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Chylothorax is suspected when milky white turbid fluid is obtained from thoracocentesis. Conservative management usually involves intercostal tube drainage, dietary restriction, and total parenteral nutrition. Surgery is indicated when conservative management fails. We describe a young woman with idiopathic chylothorax who failed conservative thera

The Bug and the Big Heart -- Melioidotic Pericardial Effusion
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Melioidosis is an infection caused by Gram negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei leading to abscesses in lungs, liver, spleen, musculoskeletal system, prostate and sepsis. We present a rare case of purulent pericardial effusion caused by melioidosis with concomitant pneumonia and splenic abscesses. The patient underwent pericardiocentesis an

Modeling in Preheated Machining of Aisi D2 Hardened Steel
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Tool life prediction plays an important role in modern industry for sustainable manufacturing and product design. The productivity of a machining system and machining cost, as well as quality and integrity of the machined surface strongly depend on tool wear and tool life. Sudden failure of cutting tools leads to loss of productivity, rejection of

A Comparative Study on the Feasibility of Introducing a Law to Regulate Retail Tenancies in Peninsular Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia has no special law to regulate retail tenancies unlike the position in Australia and the United Kingdom. This article discusses the present tenancy law in Malaysia, identifies gaps, looks at the position in Australia and highlights defining features of the law regulating retail tenancies there. Employing both, quantitative and qualitative
