Barium titanate-enhanced mixed matrix membranes for dye removal: photocatalytic membrane regeneration

Fabrication of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with effective tuning of interfacial interactions between the nano additives and the polymer matrix is crucial for enhanced membrane filtration applications. In present work, the nano additive barium titanate (BTO) was blended with Pol...

From Sensing to Transforming: An AI-Enabled Capability Framework for Circular Construction and Demolition Waste Management

Artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-enabled digital technologies are increasingly proposed as enablers of circularity in construction and demolition (C&D) waste management, yet existing reviews are organised around technology and lifecycle stage and rarely examine the organisatio...

Integrated FEA and Taguchi-based injection moulding optimisation of a glass fibre-reinforced nylon automotive bracket: a simulation-based study

This simulation based-study presents an integrated computational framework that links injection moulding process optimisation with the thermo-mechanical performance of a glass fibre-reinforced PA66 automotive throttle cable bracket. Unlike conventional approaches that optimise mo...

Diabetes-Induced Organ Damage: Cellular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and impaired pancreatic beta-cell function, resulting in sustained hyperglycemia [...]

Advancements in Waste‐to‐Energy Conversion Using Pyrolysis and Artificial Intelligence

ABSTRACT Traditional pyrolysis systems commonly operate under fixed process parameters, limiting their adaptability to variations in feedstock characteristics and operating conditions. This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically an Artifi...

Creative and Critical Thinking Styles of Secondary School Students in Kuala Lumpur: Gender Differences and Implications for Sustainable Educational Practice

Creative and critical thinking are essential cognitive capacities for students who are expected to learn, solve problems and respond to increasingly complex social, technological and environmental challenges. This study examined the thinking styles of secondary school students in...

Unmasking the Impact of Teaching Workload on Learning Outcome Attainment in Outcome-Based Engineering Education: A Multi-Level Analysis of CLO and PLO Achievement

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) has been widely adopted in engineering education as a systematic framework for curriculum design, teaching, assessment, and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) through clearly defined learning outcomes. Effective implementation of OBE requires conti...

HAICA: A framework for reasoning transparency in AI-enabled higher education assessment

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has destabilized conventional assumptions about the evidentiary basis of higher education assessment. When students can produce polished and technically plausible outputs with AI support, final submissions alone may no longer provide suf...

Unmasking the dark side: how does fossil fuel financing hurt the carbon neutrality targets?

The significance of carbon neutrality objectives in global climate mitigation efforts cannot be underestimated. Fossil fuels are widely believed to be a major culprit behind global climate change, and top polluting economies are still heavily investing in fossil fuels. Thus, the...

Essential oil production technologies: A systematic review of circular economy strategies and sustainability performance

Essential oil production is increasingly framed not only as an extraction challenge but as a circular biorefinery problem in which essential oil, hydrosol, process water, and solid residues should be jointly valorized. This systematic review synthesized evidence on production tec...

Kramer’s rule with or without transcutaneous bilirubin screening for neonatal jaundice in primary healthcare clinics: a cost-minimization analysis

Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) is a prevalent condition requiring timely detection and management to prevent severe hyperbilirubinemia and its long-term sequelae. In Malaysia, NNJ screening in primary care predominantly relies on Kramer’s Rule (KR), followed by total serum bilirubin (TS...

A Redox-Initiated Cascade Approach to Furan-Functionalized Polyisoprene with Time-Dependent Antibacterial Activity

A novel furan-functionalized polyisoprene (Furan-PIP) was synthesized via a one-pot, redox-initiated cascade approach using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) as the initiating system. The polymerization of isoprene proceeded through radical emulsio...

Occupational strain and post-retirement rehabilitation among older factory workers

Background Long-term factory work involves repetitive, physically demanding tasks that contribute to musculoskeletal degeneration in later life, particularly affecting the knee and cervical spine among ageing workers. Qualitative evidence on how retired industrial workers perceiv...
