Publication Genomic DNA Analysis of Chromolaena Odorata(Kolej PERMATA Insan, 2023-12-23) ;A’wani Aziz Nurdalila ;Khadija Maisarah Zaizul Azizi ;Nurul Aulia Nasha Nazeri ;Dania Kirana Nor Rahmat ;Wan Kamilah Wan IbrahimMohd Zuhaifah Mohamed JamilThe Chromolaena odorata is often referred to as the Siam Weed and is a member of the Asteraceae family. Known locally as the Kapal Terbang plant, it is noted for its various health benefits given that several parts of this herb have been used to treat wounds, burns, and skin infections in addition to possessing qualities namely anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Hence, the purpose of conducting this research is to contribute more information on the DNA extraction of Chromolaena odorata. Subsequent DNA extraction protocols will hinge upon the application of a commercial kit from Promega. The quantification of extracted DNA will be meticulously assessed against a Lambda DNA/ HindIII Marker standard, employing electrophoresis within a 1% agarose gel in the research findings. This systematic approach holds promise for shedding light on the genetic underpinnings of the plant's medicinal properties, potentially paving the way for novel applications in the field of healthcare and medicine. In addition, it endeavours to provide scientific evidence to support the identification of Chromolaena Odorata - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Genomic Dna Analysis of Chromolaena Odorata(Penerbit USIM, 2024) ;A’wani Aziz Nurdalila ;Nurul Aulia Nasha Nazeri ;Dania Kirana Nor Rahmat ;Wan Kamilah Wan IbrahimMohd Zuhaifah Mohamed JamilThe Chromolaena odorata, commonly known as Siam Weed, is a member of the Asteraceae family. Locally referred to as the Kapal Terbang plant, it is known for its health benefits, with various parts used to treat wounds, burns, and skin infections due to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Siam Weed has been thriving in the market. However, the identity of the plant sparks confusion albeit the identical physical characteristics as Chromolaena Odorata. This research aims to identify genomic DNA analysis of the Chromolaena odorata plant using the Promega commercial kit. The extracted DNA will be quantified against a Lambda DNA/HindIII Marker standard through electrophoresis in a 1% agarose gel. Results indicate successful DNA extraction, enabling further analysis through agarose gel viewing and imaging. This process will help in avoiding false identification by accurately sizing base pairs. This study relates to a hadith by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) illustrating that physical traits can reappear after skipping generations due to ancestral traits. The concept of genetic inheritance applies to both human and plant genetics. Different species may exhibit similar phenotypes, but the underlying genetic makeup is key to their identification. This approach could annotate the genetic foundations of the plant’s medicinal properties, potentially leading to new healthcare applications. In addition to its scientific contributions, this research underscores the significance of Islamic scientific knowledge in genetics. The evidence for Chromolaena odorata DNA identification aligns with the hadith’s implications on genetic variation and inheritance, demonstrating the relevance of historical wisdom in modern science. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Removal of Macro and Micro Wastes using Water Boat Collector(Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, 2021-02-18) ;Bunyamin Mohd Yussof ;Dania Kirana Nor RahmatLiyana Amalina AdnanIn the 4th industrial revolution era, vital income of most countries comes from factories such as oil companies, electronic industries, dye factories, paper industry and etc. However, the desperation of these industries to gain profit has diverted their focus and interest to the environmental care, thus brings catastrophic affect such as uncontrollable waste disposal. This irresponsible action will lead to breeding of pathogens, viruses, and bacteria that further initiate global pandemic. Islam also instructs in surah Ar-rum verse 41, where human will suffer from their irresponsible activities if no actions taken. Therefore, environmentalist and green chemists are expected to develop and innovate various treatments to combat this problem. Our project focuses on the adsorption and removal of wastes such as macro- and micro-garbage, oils, pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals and etc in river using boat waste collector. This boat is auto-generated by chemical energy and operated by latest version of Arduino, Uno R3 sensor with ArduinoDroid- Arduino/ESP8266 IDE programmer. For waste collector, we used conveyer belt covered with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofiber film. This is the first project that utilized PVA nanofiber membrane to adsorb and remove organic pollutants and heavy metals. The economical sensor, and eco-friendliness of solar energy of this boat would help to preserve and protect our environment thus secured optimal health for all living things.
