    Bio-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes coated with doxorubicin CNT- PEG2000 - NH2 / DOX for in vitro neuroblastoma cells toxicity study / Nurulhuda Ismail

    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanoparticles widely used nowadays in many applications from engineering to biomedical science. For biomedical applications, CNTs are potential candidates as drug carriers in disease treatment and neuron and bone cell implants. As potential drug carriers for brain disease treatment, it is possible for the nano sized CNTs to pass through the blood brain barrier. However, treatment with CNTs reportedly causes toxicity effects because of the tendency of CNTs to agglomerate. Non-covalent functionalisation of CNTs with polyethylene glycol bis-amine (PEG2000-NH2) to increase its hydrophilic properties and biocompatibility when introduced to cells can reduce such agglomeration. The purpose of this study is to produce CNT from fermented tapioca for drug delivery using neuroblastoma cells as an in vitro model. In this study, CNTs were synthesised from a novel carbon source, the fermented tapioca which is a well-known Malay local delicacy. This carbon precursor is economical and reproducible, compared to fossil-fuel precursors that are being depleted. Doxorubicin (DOX) was used as the drug to treat the neuroblastoma cells. The CNTs were synthesised by using the immersed heater assisted thermal-chemical vapour deposition method (version model STF 40-1100, Malaysia), with a deposition time is 60 minutes. Multiwalled CNTs (MWCNT) were successfully synthesised, with diameter ranges of 30 - 120 nm at synthesis temperatures of 700 - 900 °C. CNTs synthesised at 800 °C (CNT-800) were subjected to further testing due to the formation of CNTs in the 30-50 nm diameter range which is desirable and of a uniform structure. CNT-800 were purified by using a concentrated acid mixture of H2SO4 and HNO3 and functionalised. Neuroprotection test showed negative results for application of MWCNTs as treatment on oxidative damage and neurodegenerative disorder based on the response towards oxidative stress, with cell viability below 50%. It was found that the functionalised CNT-(PEG2000-NH2) at 10 u.g/mL showed stable cell viability of 97 and 98% at 24 and 48 h post-treatment, respectively. In contrast, the CNT-(PEG2000- NH2)/DOX complex showed decreased cell viability of 44% at 48 h post-treatment compared to DOX alone (53%), with the decrease being statistically significant (one-way ANOVA; p< 0.05). Thus, when CNT-(PEG2000-NH2) used at 10 ug/mL, the MWCNTs conferred a high degree of cell viability (97%, 98%), and when treated with DOX it showed corresponding decreased in cell viability (44%). These findings suggested that MWCNTs were successfully synthesised from fermented tapioca and showed potential as a drug delivery agent for brainrelated conditions

    The urban mobility landscape is undergoing unprecedented transformation, driven by complex global transportation, sustainability, and urban development challenges. This comparative study critically examines Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) strategies across six cities, representing geographical developmental contexts, employing a rigorous analytical framework to deconstruct urban mobility transformation approaches. The research reveals nuanced strategies for mobility integration through systematic comparative analysis, identifying key mechanisms that enable successful urban transportation redesign. The study uncovers distinctive patterns of institutional innovation, policy adaptation, and technological integration that characterise transformative urban mobility strategies. Critical insights emerge highlighting how cities with different socioeconomic backgrounds develop unique yet interconnected approaches to urban transportation challenges. The research provides a comprehensive comparative lens, demonstrating that effective urban mobility transformation transcends geographical boundaries, requiring adaptive, context-sensitive strategic frameworks that balance technological innovation, social equity, and sustainable development objectives

    Crime Forecasting is rarely used globally by police including Malaysia.In practice usually the police would target persons with their criminality and studying their strategy of implementing crime.The police will also monitor the current crime situation and will take necessary action when the crime index increases.Both of these scenarios require action taken after crime incurred.Therefore if crime forecasting can be adopted perhaps early crime prevention can be enforced. The aim of this study is to identify crime patterns in Kedah using univariate forecasting technique.Seventy six recent monthly data (January 2006 – April 2012) were obtained from IPK Alor Star with the permission from PDRM Bukit Aman.Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and adjusted decomposition technique were conducted in order to fulfil the objective of the study. The findings revealed that total crimes in Kedah were mainly contributed by type of property crime (80-85%) while violent crime has a small proportion only. Fortunately due to the productiveness of the police the property crime trend indicated curve declining pattern.As for the violent crime, the index was very low and displayed straight forward line (no trend). Significant seasonal pattern were identified between property crime and with all major festive seasons in Malaysia (i.e. Chinese New Year, Eid-ulFitr, Eid-ulAdha and Deepavali) together with all school breaks.Therefore the seasonal index can be a good indicator to be adopted in crime fighting strategy by the police

    Abstract: The modernization of Islamic education in Islamic boarding schools continues to be discussed in the world of national education, because to this day Islamic boarding schools are one of the Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia that have unique diversity that is not the same between Islamic boarding schools. This study examines education at the Nurulhuda Pakandangan Islamic boarding school with a focus on the modernity of education. Using field research methods, the author takes a qualitative approach. Data analysis was carried out by data reduction, display and verification. The results of this research show that the Nurulhuda Islamic Boarding School modernized Islamic education in Islamic boarding schools using direct methods in learning Islamic boarding school materials. Both Nurulhuda Islamic Boarding Schools modernized the study of the yellow book from sorogan which is generally delivered by the Kyai at the mosque, but in this Islamic boarding school it is delivered using classical method with three stages, namely, opening, explanation and questions. Then the aim of learning the yellow book at this Islamic boarding school is to introduce and enrich the students' linguistic insight.

    Nowadays, cellular phone becomes a necessity for human being due to its mobility, small size and useful applications provided in the chip. In a long term use, the user will be exposed to the high frequency EM radiation that possibly causes serious illnesses such as alzheimer and brain cancer. Increasing exposure from this radiation is a growing concern for the community to investigate the effects of the emissions to human health. While cellular phone is in used, the energy is transferred from the applied electric field to the human head in the form of kinetic energy of charged particles. The rate of change of the energy transferred is called the absorbed power or Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). SAR values are of key importance when validating possible health hazard and these values are compared with a safety limit set by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, ICNIRP to ensure that the phone is safe to use. In this study, Finite Difference Frequency Domain (FDFD) technique was used to evaluate the electric field and SAR distribution in a human head due to the emissions from cellular phone that operates at 900 MHz. The numerical results were compared with the CST Microwave Studio software which is based on FDTD method. The results demonstrated that FDFD is not an efficient method to evaluate E field and SAR due to its limitation and imperfect boundary condition. On the other hand, the CST Microwave Studio results show that magnitude of EM field decreases exponentially with the penetration distance at a rate specified by the attenuation constant, a. Besides, the SAR is affected by operational frequency of the phone and the electrical properties of human head. Since FDFD technique can work only for 2D models, it is recommended that a fast and efficient numerical technique need to be studied for 3D human head model and an experimental technique on SAR distribution needs to be done to validate the results from simulation technique
