Religious and Spiritual Beliefs and Practices of Patients and Physicians from a Tertiary Care Hopital in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In recent years there has been growing awareness regarding the role of religion and spirituality(R/S)in the practice of clinical medicine. Until recently, assessing patients’ R/S beliefs was viewed as superstitious and inappropriate. Now,the scenario has changed remarkably. We aim to assess the beliefs and observations of physicians regarding the

Digital Reconstruction as an Alternative to Perfunctory Restoration; a Case Study of Sompur Mahavihara at Paharpur in Bangladesh
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The 8th century monastery of Sompur Mahavihara at Paharpur, Bangladesh, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage (WH) Site since 1985, are the earliest evidence of monumental architecture in Bengal. After the inscription on the WH List, a major conservation program for the site was undertaken. The present state of the monastery has raises s

Effects of Bismuth Oxide on the Sinterability of Hydroxyapatite
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The sinterability of Bi2O3-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) has been studied and compared with the undoped HA. Varying amounts of Bi2O3 ranging from 0.05 wt% to 1.0 wt% were mixed with the HA. The study revealed that most sintered samples composed of the HA phase except for compacts containing 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 wt% Bi2O3 and when sintered above 1100 8C, 10

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The excellent heat transfer properties of nanoparticles have potential applications in various fields including biology during the last two decades. Recently, the use of various nanoparticles in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) resulted in significant enhancement of its efficiency and specificity. In this research we have demonstrated the effects of

Design and Modeling of MEMS SAW Resonator on Lithium Niobate
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonators are essential components for modern communication systems. They can function as filters and frequency synthesizers. SAW resonators operate based on the principle of acoustic waves propagating along the surface of a solid piezoelectric material. The waves are generated by injecting electrical energy using inter

Effect of Nano Silica on the Sinterability of Hydroxyapatite Dense Bodies
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The effects of adding a small amount of nano silica in hydroxyapatite (HA) on the sinterability and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite were studied. The starting HA powder was synthesized using a novel wet chemical precipitation method. Different amount of silica powder was mechanically mixed with the synthesized HA. The green samples were sub

The Clinical Effect of Different self-Performed Plaque Control Modalities on the Gingival Inflammation Among a Sample of Malaysian Adults
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of different approach of self-performed plaque removal (mechanical Vs chemical) on the periodontal health status among a sample of Malaysian adults. Methods: thirty seven systemically healthy patients, 20-30 years old and with gingivitis, were recruited for the study. They were rando

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Muslim scientists played a significant role in the history of science. There were hundreds of notable Muslim scientists who made great contributions to the society. Muslims carried the torch of learning for five hundred years; from 8th century to 13th Century. It is worthy to mention that engineering has an impact to develop human life especially w

Rethinking 'islamic Heritage': Two Case Studies to Ponder
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Architecture played an instrumental role in spreading ideas of different civilizations around the world. Hence, through documenting heritage we could document the facets of different cultural Diaspora through time and spaces. The objective of the heritage study program at the department of Architecture of HUM is to capture the facets of Islamic Dia
