Halal tourism / Yong Azrina Ali Akbar
No full textHalal tourism is “any tourism object or action which is permissible according to Islamic teachings to be used or engaged by Muslims in the tourism industry” (Battour & Ismail, 2016). According to Mohsin, Noriah Ramli and Alkhulayfi, (2016), halal tourism refers to the provision of tourism products and services that meet the needs of Muslim travellers to facilitate their worship and dietary requirements that conform to Islamic teachings. Recently, Muslim travel market continues to grow and evolve. As reported by Global Muslim Travel Index (2019), there are nine factors influencing the consumption behaviour of Muslim travellers which are halal food, prayer facilities, water-friendly washrooms, absence of Islamophobia, social reasons, Ramadhan services, and local Muslim experiences, recreational spaces with privacy and no non-halal services
A cardiopulmonary resuscitation guide for healthcare providers
No full textCardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR is the term used to describe a series of action that comprises of artificial respiration and chest compressions to patients in cardiorespiratory arrest. It has to be initiated promptly to improve the chance of survival before advanced medical care is available. CPR is an important clinical skill, almost mandatory for every healthcare personnel. The CPR procedure is an essential component of Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). This book covers the important aspects of Basic Life Support (BLS) and serves as a guide to participants of the CPR course. Participants are required to read this book before attending the course. Its main objective is to provide a simple and comprehensive reference to participants of our CPR workshops. It has been updated according to the latest 2015 guidelines published by recognised bodies such as The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), and the American Heart Association (AHA). We have also incorporated a chapter on Islamic Ethics, in line with the IIICE (Integration, Islamisation, Internationalisation and Comprehensive Excellence) mission of our university
Cornsilk as an Alternate Functional Ingredient
No full textCorn trees have been cultivated about 5000 years ago and it is known to be derived from a wild grass native to Mexico and Central America (Dermastia et al., 2009). The name ‘Zea’ comes from the Greek word which means cereal or grain and the word ‘mays’ is adopted from a Spanish voyager named Columbus, who collected the grain and brought it over to Europe from America (Desjardins & McCarthy, 2004; Eckhoff et al., 2009). Since its domestication, corn plant spreads rapidly around the world in the 15th century, mainly in the temperate regions (Eckoff et al., 2009). Corn is introduced into Mediterranean and South East Asia region in the 16th century by the Portuguese (Desjardin & McCarty, 2004).
Corn tree is about 5 to 7 feet tall having long and green leaves attached to its stalk. It requires a warm weather climate, nutrient rich soil and abundant moisture for growth. Corn plant is monoecious which means both male and female flowers develop on the same plant. Its male flower or sometimes referred to as tassel is located on top of the plant while the female flower developed from shoots and arises from between the stalk and leaf sheath. Female inflorescence also refers as an ‘ear’. Normally, two to three shoots are found within one stalk of the corn plant. Male inflorescences are seen on top of a corn plant and are actively involved in pollination
The Wondrous of Fungus World
No full textMushrooms can be defined as “macrofungi” with distinctive fruiting bodies that could be hypogenous or epigeous, large enough to be seen by naked eyes and to be picked by hand (Chang & Miles, 1992). They contain no chlorophyll, therefore, do not have leaves, seeds or roots and in real do not need any light to grow. They are a group of fleshy macroscopic fungus which propagates by releasing spores in the dark and typically grew on its food source or on soil above ground. Through the process of fructification, the fruiting bodies are developed from spacious underground mycelia (hyphae). They require a substrate agricultural waste to absorb nutrition and produce enzymes which degrade complex organic matter (Walde et al., 2006). The estimated lifetime of fruiting bodies is only 10-14 days (Kalac, 2009)

No full textNutritional composition and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity of blue lupin (Lupinus angustifolius)
No full textAMIN BIN ISMAIL/ Chew Lye Yee// CHIN YING YEE,AZRINA BINTI AZLAN/// Gaik Theng Toh,Junus Salam Pessy
The nutritional, protein and amino acid compositions of blue lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) flour were studied. The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of lupin protein isolate (LPI) hydrolysates prepared using Alcalase and Flavourzyme, and the Osborne protein fractions hydrolysates prepared using Alcalase were determined. Lupin flour was high in protein (43 g/100 g) and dietary fiber (34 g/100 g) but low in carbohydrate (4.8 g/100 g) and ash (3.4 g/100 g). Results from a sequential Osborne extraction procedure showed that lupin protein was comprised of 56% globulin, 26% albumin and 19% glutelin, while prolamin was only found in trace amounts. Lupin protein was high in Lys but limiting in Met. SDS-PAGE analysis suggested that protein hydrolysis catalyzed using Alcalase was more effective than Flavourzyme as shown by the presence of lower molecular weight peptides in the former. LPI hydrolysates prepared using Alcalase showed high ACE inhibitory activities with IC50 values ranging from 0.10 to 0.21 mg/ml. The results suggested that the globulin fraction was the main contributor towards the ACE inhibitory activity observed in lupin protein

Anthocyanins in purple colored fruits.
No full textThe occurrence of purple color in many fruits is due to the presence of a group of natural pigments called anthocyanins. On top of the economic importance of anthocyanins in industries as natural colorants, these pigments have important implications in human nutrition. Purple-colored fruits such as blackberry, grape, plum, and prune have high content of anthocyanins. Canarium odontophyllum fruit (locally known as dabai) is one of the popular indigenous fruits of Borneo Island that turns into purple when ripen. Dabai represents an almost similar complex system to that of many other purple-colored fruits since anthocyanins are formed in the skin. Besides that, phenolic compounds from phenolic acid to various subclasses of flavonoids have been identified in the fruit. Total anthocyanins content in dabai fruit was comparable to that of blackberry and grape. It is also noted that the total flavanols of dabai fruit was much higher than those purple fruits. In purple-colored berries, anthocyanins as the major pigment are present together with appreciable amount of flavanols. In addition, flavonols particularly quercetin and kaempferol are found as co-pigment for fruits coloration in the berries. Numerous reviews on the potential roles of anthocyanins in reduction of disease risk factors and prevention of cardiovascular health problems have been documented. The compounds revealed consistent effects through different aspects of vascular health (platelet aggregation, atherosclerosis, blood pressure, antioxidant status, and inflammation-related markers), myocardial conditions, and whole-body metabolism (serum biochemistry and lipid profile). Purple-colored fruits are good sources of anthocyanidins that offer vast arrays of health-promoting properties
Network forensics: detection and mitigation of botnet malicious code via darknet
No full textComputer malwares are major threats that always find a way to penetrate the network, posing threats to the confidentiality, integrity and the availability of data. Network-borne malwares penetrate networks by exploiting vulnerabilities in networks and systems. IT administrators in campus wide network continue to look for security control solutions to reduce exposure and magnitude of potential threats.
