Publication Characterization of Hydrophobic and Oleophilic Properties of Paraffin Immersed Polyurethane Sponge by Using Contact Angle MethodIn this study, a simple and low cost wax-infused sponge was fabricated from home ready appliances. The wax-infused sponge was fabricated by immersing cleaned and dried polyurethane sponge into liquefied paraffin wax then let solidified at room temperature. The properties of hydrophobicity and oleophilicity were measured and tested by using the contact angle method. The water contact angle measurement on the surface of the wax-infused sponge showed a higher reading (> 90°) than on untreated polyurethane sponge. Meanwhile, the cooking oil contact angle reading on wax-infused sponge was found immeasurable as the oil droplet instantaneously absorbed into the porous structure of the wax-infused sponge which showed excellent oil absorbing ability. Additionally, the water and cooking oil contact angle measurement significantly showed that the wax-infused sponge material exhibits both properties of hydrophobic (water repelling) and oleophilic (oil absorbing) properties at the same time.11 102 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Child Marriage in Malaysia: Its Factors, Consequences and Islamic Perspective(Penerbit USIM, 2022) ;Azzaratul AzmanNur Bahirah Binti Abdul ManafEvery year, the practice of child marriage sacrifices millions of children’s lives and futures. Although there are laws regarding the minimum age for marriage, this practice remains widespread and has become a problem in many countries. In 2014, a United Nations special expert discouraged child marriage as this practice leads to premarital sex and child abandonment. Moreover, the persistence of this practice also strips girls of their right to proper education and better job opportunities. Although the practice of child marriage was not accepted in some societies, this practice still takes place in many parts of the world. Among the factors that led to child marriage are family poverty, education, religious and cultural norms, and unwanted pregnancy. Therefore, based on online research studies, this paper argues that the practice of child marriage should not be normalised as it affects children’s education, health, and safety. This paper will explain in detail the factors and consequences of child marriage. Furthermore, this paper will argue the views of child marriage according to the Islamic perspective. To sum up, this paper will conclude all the topics and give several recommendations in the hope that this research will help other researchers in their findings.69 207 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Consanguineous Marriages: Between Science and Religious Perspectives(Penerbit USIM, 2022) ;Nurbahirah Binti Abdul Manas @ ManafAzzaratul AzmanConsanguineous marriages are commonly practised even from the early existence of humanity. Until now, consanguinity has been widely practised in many countries, including Malaysia, with variable prevalence and reasons depending on religion, culture, education, and geography. A high proportion of marriages in South and Middle East Asia are contracted between close biological relatives due to cultural preference, which is a deeply rooted social fashion among these societies. Even though consanguineous marriage has become a cultural preference in the community, the normalisation of that culture can affect and interfere with the well-being of the new generation due to health problems because of parental consanguineous marriage. Based on library research, this paper argues that consanguineous marriages should not be normalised and become a tradition or trend as they may lead to genetic diseases. It can be seen that adverse effects may be associated with the expression of genes received from a common ancestor, which may result in the mortality and morbidity of the offspring. Although Islam allows such marriages, permitting them does not mean Islam encourages them, together with the views of other religions. Besides, many countries’ opinions of consanguineous marriage are also elucidated in this paper. This paper will end with several recommendations for raising awareness pertaining to the issues raised.
