Rental Yield as Alternative to Interest Rate in Pricing Musyarakah Mutanaqisah Home Financing - the Case for Malaysia.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The current practice of the Islamic banks in Malaysia is relying on the market interest rate as the reference benchmark pricing for musyarakah mutanaqisah home financing. It has been a subject of intense debate among scholars, researchers, industry players, and policymakers. While it is not prohibited, Muslim scholars have highly discouraged this p

Interference Avoidance Using Dynamic Frequency Reuse for lte-A System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

To meet the increasing demand for spectrum in communication system, Long Term Evolution (LTE) system has been proposed. It al-lowed users to use a new and much wider spectrum comparing to the other previous technologies. To utilize the full capacity of the LTE system Frequency Reuse (FR) has been adapted. It is a promising aspect of transmission of

Finite Element Analysis on Deformation of Stretchable Electronic Interconnect Substrate Using Polydimethylsiloxanes (Pdms)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

. Over the years, the technology of electronic industry has growth tremendously. Open ended research on how to make a better concept of electronic circuit is ongoing especially on the stretchable electronic devices. There are many designs to achieve stretchability in electronic circuits. The problem occurs when deformation applied to the stretchabl

Utility of Small Molecule Tlr4 Antagonist (+)-naltrexone in Suppression of Preterm Birth Induced in Mice by Platelet Activating Factor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Microbial and sterile triggers of inflammation can activate Toll-like receptors (TLR) to initiate synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines that in turn drive the parturition cascade leading to preterm delivery (PTD). Platelet activating factor (PAF) has been identified as a key endogenous sterile inflammatory trigger that is elevated i

The Crucial Roles of Nociceptin Opioid Peptide (Nop) Receptor in Attenuating Relapse in Morphine/methamphetamine (poly-Drug) Dependence Model
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

BACKGROUND: Effective treatment for relapse prevention to poly-drug is still not yet available although this public health issue is alarming. Our previous study has proved that a combination of buprenorphine/naltrexone treatment successfully attenuated relapse (reinstatement) in morphine/methamphetamine (poly-drug) dependent mice using a conditione

Communication Education in Malaysia: Early Days to Recent Years
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper provides a historical perspective on communication studies in Malaysia since its beginning in 1970. Government policies and support in addition to institutional factors shaped the development of communication education in Malaysia. History is important for scholars of communication to understand the foundations and influences that have s

Barisan Nasional's Ge14 Campaign Materials: a Reversed third-Person Effect
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The third-person effect theory postulates that respondents would deny media’s direct effect on themselves but would perceive the same media as having a greater effect on others. A “reverse” third-person effect happens when the intended influence is perceived to be desirable or intelligent on oneself. This perception is sometimes referred to a

Performance Evaluation on Error Probabilities of Coded Bpsk System Using the Linear (23, 12) Golay Code with hard-Decision Decoding
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Channel impairment due to the existence of noise and interference is a major problem in the communication system. To combat this problem, channel coding technique is often used. In this paper, Bit Error Rate (BER) performance is evaluated by a simulation in a MATLAB program using the linear (23,12) Golay Code with coded BPSK system for the fading c

Adducin Methylation and Blood Pressure in Young Adults ; Less is More
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Essential hypertension is a multifaceted disease implicating both genetic, environment and epigenetic modification. Whilst -Adducin (ADD1) polymorphism in essential hypertension has been previously described, modification in DNA methylation of ADD1 gene in hypertensive young adults is not known. Objective: To evaluate the association

Alkaloids from Popowia Perakensis and their Dipeptidyl Peptidase Iv(Dpp Iv) Inhibitors
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A study on the alkaloidal composition on the Malaysian Annonaceae species, i.e Popowia perakensis King has been carried out. Barks of Popowia perakensis were extracted with hexane, dichloromethane and methanol, respectively. Dichloromethane extract further underwent the acid base treatment to give the alkaloidal crude extract. Isolation of compound
