Prevalence of Depression and its Association with Suicidal Ideation Among Older People
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: Suicidal ideation is common in older people worldwide. However, there is a lack of data about suicidal ideation and its risk factor among Malaysian population. Aims: To determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms, and risk factors contributing to suicidal ideation among older people.Methods: A cross sectional st

Islam and Politics in Malaysia: the Realisation of Islam as a State Religion in Sabah
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper analyses the process of independence in Sabah and the consequent Islamisation of its population, which caused the amendment of the State Constitution in 1973. The first part of the paper states that the unification of Sabah with Malaya into the Federation of Malaysia guaranteed its independence from the British colonial rule as well as s

The Relationship Between Family’s Use of English at Home with Students’ Proficiency in the Language.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In Malaysia, English is considered a ‘strong’ second language (Azman, 2016). Realising the importance of English, many Malaysian families opt to speak English at home, even though English is not their first language (Hashim, 2014; Mohamed Salleh, Kawaguchi, Jones, & Biase, 2016; Salehuddin, 2012). Therefore, this paper aims to examine the c

zinc-Oxide nanoparticle-Based Saturable Absorber Deposited by Simple Evaporation Technique for q-Switched Fiber Laser
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) incorporating zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles-based saturable absorber (SA) is proposed and demonstrated. To form the SA, the ZnO nanoparticles, which are originally in the powder form, are first dissolved in ethanol and subsequently deposited onto the surface of fiber ferrule by using the adhesion effect

Experimental and Numerical Study on the Aerodynamics and Stability Characteristics of a Canard Aircraft
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Modern day fighter aircrafts are mostly canard configured because of its advantages over conventional configuration. The primary objective of this work is to investigate the low speed aerodynamic and stability characteristics of a canard configured aircraft. Using CFD -ANSYS Fluent package, numerical flow simulations were carried out for a typical

Numerical and Experimental Study on the Effect of Cab- Extender on the Flow Characteristics of a tractor-Trailer
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The aerodynamic drag on trucks can be reduced by use of active and passive techniques. In this work a passive method of using a cab-extender that is attached to the rear of the tractor is attempted. This cab-extender will help in reducing the drag force that act on the truck by minimizing the gap between the tractor and trailer. In this study, a tr

Shape Control of Composite Plates with Piezoelectric Actuators
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, shape control of composite plates using piezoelectric actuators is being investigated. The goal of this study was to see how composite plates behave when they are integrated with piezoelectric actuators. Modelling and simulation were done using COMSOL Multiphysics software and results were validated using previously published studies

Revisiting Curriculum and Instructions in the 21st Century Teaching and Learning
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This product revisits four dimensions of learning domains and 21st century skills .It delivers awareness on the extension of parental partnership with teachers and communities. Examples of education system from Korea, China, Finland and Japan are discussed. Teacher Professional development is addressed with a recommendation for future training mode

Experimental and Finite Element Analysis of Solvent Cast Poly (Lactic Acid) Thin Film Blends
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A combined experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) investigation was performed to study the effect of incorporating poly(propylene carbonate)(PPC) and curcumin on the mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). In addition, the chemical interaction and morphological changes brought upon by each subsequent additive were also observed. T

The Fading Birth Practice: Urban Malay Mothers in Malaysia Negotiating Confinement Practices.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malay mothers’ postpartum experiences often include a period of confinement, similar to other Asian parallel practices of “doing the month”. This confinement period comprise of a set of beliefs, rules, and practices based on traditional eastern medicinal knowledge. Cultural practices of postpartum confinement, or berpantang, among urban mothe
