Withdrawing and witholding medical treatment: a comparative study between the Malaysian, English and Islamic law by Jahn Kassim, Puteri Nemie, Omipidan, Bashiru Adeniyi

“…Their arguments maintain that for patients who are totally dependant on machines to ensure the work of some bodily functions, living may amount to little more than survival as dying is prolonged. Furthermore, the prolonging of life of the dying patient has profound implications on patients themselves, their relatives, dependants and medical providers. …”

ECG biometric recognition in different physiological conditions using robust normalized QRS complexes by Sidek, Khairul Azami, Khalil, Ibrahim, Smolen, Magdalena

“…The results of the experiment show that QRS complexes in different activities from the same subject were strongly correlated to each other by obtaining correlation values of more than 0.9. A classification accuracy of 96.1% when using the proposed normalized method as compared to 93.4% without using the normalized QRS complex proves to distinguish between subjects.…”

Ibn Khaldun’s (1332-1406) concept of al-Assabiyya – Obsolete notion or enduring reality? by Yousif, Ahmad

“…Nevertheless a change in environment had the potential of generating tyrannical tendencies among those who rule, because they become less dependent on their biological or even ideological kinsmen. After more than six hundred years of the death of Abdu-ar-Rahman Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), it is important to reexamine his ideas on al-Assabiyya, discover why loyalty to the group took priority over religious ties, and whether The paper will begin with a brief introduction to Ibn Khaldun’s concept of al-Assabiyya as found in al-Muqqadimah (Introduction), whether or not the concept is rooted in the Islamic tradition, and the extent to which it is relevant today. …”
