q-Switched erbium-Doped Fibre Laser Based on Molybdenum Disulfide and Tungsten Disulfide as Saturable Absorbers
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A passively Q-switched erbium-doped fibre laser is experimentally implemented, using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and tungsten disulfide (WS2) as saturable absorbers. The results testify that a WS2-based Q-switched fibre laser generates more stable pulse trains, if compared with the MoS2-based saturable absorber. The wavelength region where the Q-sw

Nanotechnology for Fabrication of Nanoparticles and Nanoemulsion
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Therapeutic agents, namely drugs (i.e. Active pharmaceutical ingredient, API), biopharmaceutical (e.g. protein/peptide/macromolecules) and natural products (e.g. Nigella sativa oil, alpha mangostin) may have drawback of either highly water-soluble or highly lipophilic. These two extreme properties can mask the actual efficacy of the agents regardle

The Technology Factors as Barriers for Sustainable Health Information Systems (His): a Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Information system is widely adopted in many fields including healthcare. Healthcare organizations now consider increased efficiency, improved patient care, quality of services, and safety. Hence Health Information System (HIS) is basically introduced to transform the traditional way of data collection and organization in hospitals, to a modern way

methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (Mrsa): Epidemiology and Sccmec Typing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen. It causes a wide range of infections in the hospital setting as well as in the community environment. A broad variety of infections, ranging from minor pyodermas to life-threatening infections can be caused by S. aureus. The adaptive power of S. aureus to antibiotics lead to the emergence of methicil

Resolving Media Disputes in Defamation Cases
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Media plays a very important role in the society. The society receive news and information through them and this explains why media related people such as the journalists, reporters, publishers and Internet Service Providers (ISP) must ensure they deliver correct news and information either through online or offline media. Nevertheless, sometimes p

Gancidin W, a Potential low-Toxicity Antimalarial Agent Isolated from an Endophytic Streptomyces Suk10
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Endophytic Streptomyces strains are potential sources for novel bioactive molecules. In this study, the diketopiperazine gancidin W (GW) was isolated sfrom the endophytic actinobacterial genus Streptomyces, SUK10, obtained from the bark of Shorea ovalis tree, and it was tested in vivo against Plasmodium berghei PZZ1/100. GW exhibited an inhibition

Technical Quality and Patient Perception of Hospital Care Quality
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of technical quality (medical care and nursing care) on perceived service quality, patient satisfaction and behavioural compliance at a public hospital. This study is also to confirm the mediating effects of patient satisfaction between perceived service quality and behavioural compliance.A struct

Bioactive Compounds Fractionated from Endophyte Streptomyces Suk 08 with Promising ex-Vivo Antimalarial Activity
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: To determine ex vivo antimalarial activity and cytotoxicity of endophytic Streptomyces SUK 08 as well as the main core structure fractionated from its crude extract. Methods: The activities of SUK 08 crude extract were evaluated by using the Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase assay and synchronization test against rodent malaria parasite P

Isolation and Characterization of biosurfactant-Producing Bacteria Isolated from Petroleum Contaminated Sites with the Potential to be Used in Bioremediation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Surfactants have been widely used to facilitate biodegradation of petroleum pollutant; particularly those are being produced by microorganisms which are also known as biosurfactant. Six bacterial isolates from petroleum contaminated sites were found to be potential hydrocarbon degrader candidates based on their ability to grow on minimal media supp

Fusion Concept Between Contemporary Medicine and Natural Products: a New Paradigm in the Design of Safer Medicine
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Drug-drug combinations in a single dosage form have become a routine approach to get synergistic effect and improved compliance. However, such combinations usually do not reduce overall side-effects or adverse effects. Here, we attempted fusion between contemporary and natural products aiming to see synergistic effects and reduction in the toxicity
