No full textThe diamond framework of an ibadah-friendly hospital: A revisit
No full textThe Diamond Framework of an Ibadah-Friendly Hospital is a model illustrating the important aspects and facets of an ideal hospital with a holistic approach (uslub *iamb) in patient care. The framework was designed back in 2004 but it was only in the year 2015 that it first attracted international interest. It summarizes the four elements that contributes to the approach, grounded by the Tentindic paradigm. and guided by the purposes of the syari'ah (maqasid al-syari 'alt) and the Islamic legal maxims (qawalel al-Mb:nab). A brief appraisal of studies was performed to explore available publications related to the elements of the concept. Revisiting the diamond framework, four aspects form the center of the diamond model ( I) patients or clients. (2) medical/ non-medical healthcare providers, (3) facilities/ infrastructures, and (4) hospital policies. Balance of the four facets, ( I) education, (2) training, (3) research, and (4) standards, is important in providing services, and avenue in promoting spiritual, physical, and mental health for all who are involved. Based on these elements, a literature review on related papers and studies were obtained from electronic and manual searches. Keywords used included: qbadah-friendly' (or mesra-ibadah). 'Muslim-friendly'. along with 'hospital' or 'health services'. These included publications in English or Malay/ Indonesian languages since the year 2005. Publications from Malaysia mostly focused on the concept of ibadah-friendly hospital or health services. Recent papers highlighted the need of concept in relation to medical tourism. Others included surveys on the effectiveness of personnel empowerment, spiritual support, and disability assessment. The term 'Muslim-friendly' are more widely used in international papers. The trend was more on Muslim chaplaincy, gender preferences, religious and cultural diversity, Muslim-friendly services/ facilities, and end-of-life services. Efforts in research play an integral role in providing evidence-based solutions related to all aspects of the framework including needs assessment and module development

No full textGenotypic characterization of multidrug resistant staphylococcus aureus from animal handlers in peninsular Malaysia
No full textBackground: S. aureus is a commensal, opportunistic pathogen that capable of
causing a wide variety of infections, ranging from mild skin lesions to lifethreatening conditions. The emergence of S. aureus acquiring resistance towards
multiple antimicrobials has become a major public health concern seen in many
countries. The present research was done to study the genotypic characterization
of MDRSA isolated from livestock farmers in Peninsular Malaysia.
Methodology: 28 out of 140 S. aureus isolates obtained from livestock handlers
were identified to be MDRSA. The antibiogram of all S. aureus isolates towards
19 different antibiotics were determined prior to the selection. The selected
isolates were subjected to PCR to determine the presence of various genes that
encoded for different antimicrobial resistances mechanisms and virulence factors.
Spa and agr typing were carried out to determine the genotypes of the isolates.
Results: The presence of several antimicrobial resistance genes were confirmed.
Meanwhile, virulence genes that aid the colonization and biofilm formation of
MDRSA were also detected. 17 different spa types were detected, with t189 being
the predominant genotype and only agr type I and II were detected in this study.
Conclusion: The findings demonstrated the presence of various antimicrobial
resistance and virulence genes among the MDRSA isolated from livestock
farmers in Peninsular Malaysia
Track home maintenance business centers with GPS technology in the IR 4.0 era
No full textA home helper is in high demand these days because it relieves the stress of doing household chores.
Home helpers are usually self-employed and work part-time in their clients' homes. Be that as it
may, having domestic helper departments within the nearby local area is annoying since residents, in
general, have no foggy idea of when or how to contact the person providing these types of help.
Examples of departments that could be offered include escort departments, garden maintenance ,
dinner planning, pet grooming, assistance with family tasks, or even friendship for the elderly. It is
clear that there is a gap between the specialized household cooperatives and the neighboring local area
that requested the departments. Usually, individuals introducing departments present their
administrations by using flyers or bypassing their phone numbers to individuals. This is definitely not
an accurate display system because the dispersion of the data is limited to just a small aggregation of
the surrounding local area. Going forward, I-HomeHelper acts as a unique stage for people to bring
their department to an end through openness who are asking their departments to take advantage of
current developments in Global Positioning Systems ( GPS ) with Industry Revolution 4.0 ( IR 4.0). IHomeHelper authorizes to make an orderly reservation for the necessary departments and also fills as
a stage for the advancement of the various departments accessible. The finer details of departments
that include costs, name of home partners, and contact numbers are likewise shown on the advanced
page so that the general community can choose which departments meet their models. This app is
expected to create an ecosystem for holistic critical development for these freelance people and benefit
an audience that really needs help with family chores or home maintenance
Information on creating a healthy home environment in Malaysia
No full textHousing is one of the eight domains of the concept of age-friendly cities or environments of the World Health
Organization (WHO). A healthy community ensures the availability of safe, decent, and affordable housing that supports
the health of its occupants. Human spends more than 50 percent of his time inside the house, studies have shown that the
built environment can affect human health. The unhealthy house can cause many diseases. Unhealthy houses increase the
number of asthma, respiratory and skin allergies and lung diseases. Also accidents and domestic injuries are more in these
houses. In addition unhealthy houses affect mental and social well-being such as: depression, isolation, stress and
behavioral abnormalities. The “Healthy House” is not just designing healthy and hygienic shelter, but also includes
complete physical, mental and social well-being in the house and the environment. Thus, the purpose of this paper is about

Assessment on effect of Mangifera sp. microwave extraction against bacterial activity
No full textMangifera sp belongs to the family Anacardiaceae can easily be found all over tropical regions in this world,
cheaper and less side effects compare to the standard drug antibiotics. In addition, Mangifera sp. have been
reports as medicinal plant that possessed antibacterial activity against human pathogens. In this study, the
effect of Mangifera sp leaves microwave extraction of were investigated. Standard methods were used in
determine the Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) using disc-diffusion agar and 96 well plate against
various bacteria namely Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. Effect of microwave extraction of sample Mangifera was observed using
few timelines such as soxhlet, 2 min, 5 min, 8 min, 10 min and 12 min. The result obtained showed that 10
min sample (M10) was the optimum time and have highest antibacterial effect compare to others timelines.
M10 was used to against Acinetobacter baumannii and showed great outcome since it has zone of inhibitions of
20 mm (200 mg/ml) and MIC of 6.125 mg/ml. In summary, Mangifera sp. exhibited significant antimicrobial
activity comparable to gentamycin as positive control and optimum microwave time for sample Mangifera sp is

New modification ofthe hestenes-stiefel with strong wolfe line search
No full textThe method ofthe nonlinear conjugate gradient is widely used in solving large-scale unconstrained
optimization since been proven in solving optimization problems without using large memory storage.
In this paper, we proposed a new modification of the Hestenes-Stiefel conjugate gradient parameter
that fulfils the condition of sufficient descent using a strong Wolfe-Powell line search. Besides, the
conjugate gradient method with the proposed conjugate gradient also guarantees low computation of
iteration and CPU time by comparing with other classical conjugate gradient parameters. Numerical
results have shown that the conjugate gradient method with the proposed conjugate gradient
parameter performed better than the conjugate gradient method with other classical conjugate
gradient parameters
