To Defect or Cooperate? Investigating Gender and Cultural Differences in Prisoner’s Dilemma Game
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The extent to which gender and cultural background interact to influence the level of cooperation was investigated through a game called Prisoner’s Dilemma. Eight Asians (Male = 4; Female = 4) and eight Europeans (Male = 4; Female = 4) university students, who were purposively recruited to participate in the experiment, played 10 trials of an int

Distraction Osteogenesis in the Craniomaxillofacial Region. Part 1: History, Principles, Indications, Types and Protocol
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abstract: Distraction osteogenesis offers superior skeletal advancement compared to conventional osteotomy. As the surgical outcomes can be technically-dependent, it is important to understand the principle, indications, assessment and preparation prior to its application. This review is the first part of two articles which will provide clinicians

Characteristics of Human Arm Impedances: a Study on Daily Movement
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents the impedance characteristics of human arm in daily spatial activity. Human arm is considered as a mass-spring-damper system. The input data in the form of Cartesian position is measured to get dynamic impedance relationship by the motion equation for the mass-spring- damper system. Mappings are done by various combinations to o

Orthogonal Wavelet Support Vector Machine for Predicting Crude Oil Prices
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Previous studies mainly used radial basis, sigmoid, polynomial, linear, and hyperbolic functions as the kernel function for computation in the neurons of conventional support vector machine (CSVM) whereas orthogonal wavelet requires less number of iterations to converge than these listed kernel functions. We proposed an orthogonal wavelet support v

The Malaysian Fatwa Framework and its Relevance to Anti Terrorism Policy: a Critical Reflection on the Nigerian "boko Haram" Causes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

"In some of the Modern Muslim and secular countries, the role" "of fatwa (Islamic legal verdict) has been understood and utilized as an instrument for social, political and religious control. This role has gone far as sustaining the peaceful co-existence and harmony among different people of different background. Fatwa institutions harm

Legal Framework on Islamic Finance in Nigeria: a Critical Appraisal of Hurdles Against the Effective Shari‘ah Governance
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Nowadays, criticisms by the antagonists of Islamic financial institutions regarding their establishment and management have been put to rest. Most countries in the world if not all, have reckoned with the successes recorded in terms of capital markets and growths of Islamic financial institutions. However, the most challenging issue in recent times

Fatwa Versus Modernity Within the Philosophical Epistemology of the Qur’an: Striking a Balance Between the Two
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Nowadays in modern Muslim countries, fatwa (Islamic legal opinion) has been used to harmonize Islamic doctrines and ideologies with modern developments. This has gone far in sharpening the Islamic law administration in some jurisdictions. Fatwa is an instrument that exhibits dynamism of Islamic law in line with the Maqasid ash-Shari’ah (the objec

Synthesis and Docking Studies of 2,4,6-trihydroxy-3-geranylacetophenone Analogs as Potential Lipoxygenase Inhibitor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The natural product molecule 2,4,6-trihydroxy-3-geranyl-acetophenone (tHGA) isolated from the medicinal plant Melicope ptelefolia was shown to exhibit potent lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitory activity. It is known that LOX plays an important role in inflammatory response as it catalyzes the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid to

e-D2carp: a Joint Path and Spectrum Diversity Based Routing Protocol with an Optimized Path Selection for Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cognitive Radio (CR) is a new paradigm which offers a viable solution to deal with the spectrum shortage problem and enhance the spectrum utilization. In Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks (CRAHNs), data routing is one of the most challenging tasks due to frequent topology changes and intermittent connectivity caused by the activity of Primary Users (

Ftcarp: a fault-Tolerant Routing Protocol for Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cognitive Radio (CR) has been recently proposed as a promising technology to remedy the problems of spectrum scarcity and spectrum underutilization by enabling unlicensed users to opportunistically utilize temporally unused licensed spectrums in a cautious manner. In Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks (CRAHNs), data routing is one of the most challeng
