Establishing relationship between vitamins, total phenolic and total flavonoid content and antioxidant activities in various honey types

Honey is a well-known natural sweetener and is rich in natural antioxidants that prevent the occurrence of oxidative stress, which is responsible for many human diseases. Some of the biochemical compounds in honey that contribute to this property are vitamins and phenolic compounds such as phenolic acids and flavonoids. However, the extent to which these molecules contribute towards the antioxidant capacity in vitro is inconsistently reported, especially with the different analytical methods used, as well as other extrinsic factors that influence these molecules’ availability. Therefore, by reviewing recently published works correlating the vitamin, total phenolic, and flavonoid content in honey with its antioxidant activities in vitro, this paper will establish a relationship between these parameters. Based on the literature, vitamins do not contribute to honey’s antioxidant capacity; however, the content of phenolic acids and flavonoids has an impact on honey’s antioxidant activity

The contradictory views on Ancient literary works as a foundation of world historical development

Contradictory views on ancient literary works provide a panorama of historical development. However, the validity of the texts was considered as issue of prime importance. The critics on its literary authenticity would reveal whether it was real or just a fabrication. The Epic Gilgamesh was ascertained by Said Ghanimi to be unauthentic. The contentions by S. N. Kramer and Taha Baqir were with regard to the differences of language usage in the Epic Gilgamesh either Sumerian or Akkadian as well. The acknowledgement of the West on Iliad and Odyssey by Homer as the first document written in world history was unfounded although this was highlighted by B. Lansberger in 7th conference in Paris on 1958. The Code Hamurabbi is a well preserved Babylonian Code of laws, unfortunately, it was considered as a fabrication of Old Testament which came 800 years later, especially on the narration of Big Flood Story as mentioned in the Book of Genesis. It is regrettable that the paucity of materials on the ancient history of the ancient people available from the Muslim sources poses as a constraint on this study. The research is compelled to refer almost entirely to Western and Jews sources. Thus, the approach used in this study is based primarily on historical and linguistic analysis of ancient literary works

Penerimaan dan penolakan masyarakat bukan Islam di Malaysia terhadap hukum jenayah Islam : perbincangan dari sudut budaya Malaysia

Undang-Undang Islam sebenarnya sudah lama berakar umbi di Malaysia sejak kedatangan Islam di kepulauan Melayu. Hal ini boleh dilihat dengan kodifikasi perundangan di Kerajaan Kesultanan Melaka yang menggubal Hukum Kanun Melaka dan Undang-Undang Laut Melaka yang berteraskan syariah dan adat. Perkara ini juga diikuti oleh kerajaan kesultanan yang lain seperti Pahang, Johor dan Terengganu. Malah, semasa kedatangan penjajah British, undang-undang Islam diiktiraf sebagai undang-undang di tanah ini. Namun, setelah sekian lama penjajahan oleh dunia Barat, perundangan di negara kita sudah berubah. Malah, selepas kemerdekaan negara kita, perundangan Islam tidak dapat dilaksanakan secara menyeluruh. Terdapat beberapa pihak yang tidak bersetuju dengan pelaksanaan perundangan Islam, terutamanya hukum jenayah Islam di Malaysia kerana sebab-sebab yang tertentu. Artikel ini membincangkan hukum jenayah Islam dari sudut budaya Malaysia. Selain itu, artikel ini juga akan menganalisis penerimaan dan penolakan masyarakat bukan Muslim di Malaysia terhadap hukum jenayah Islam serta menghuraikan cadangan penambahbaikan terhadap hukum jenayah Islam di Malaysia. Pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif digunakan bagi melaksanakan kajian ini seperti kajian kepustakaan dan soal selidik kepada responden-responden. Dapatan daripada soal selidik yang dilakukan menampakkan keputusan yang pelbagai, ada yang bersetuju dan ada yang tidak bersetuju. Secara umumnya, penulis berpendapat bahawa memberi penerangan yang lebih menyeluruh dan tidak apologetik akan dapat membantu pemahaman mereka berkenaan dengan hukum jenayah Islam, serta dilakukan dengan berhikmah dan berhemah

Evaluating the effectiveness of wildlife educational program on knowledge, attitude and awareness among three selected secondary schools students in Perak, Malaysia

Habitat loss and wildlife encroachments have been the major factors diminishing the wildlife populations globally. Wildlife conservationists around the world are working hard to sustain wildlife populations through various possible ways, and one of them is through cultivating the awareness among young generation especially school children. In this study, we analysed the level of knowledge, awareness and attitude about wildlife among three selected secondary school students in Perak, Malaysia through a self-administered survey. The analysis was separated into two parts; pretest and post-test, which was before and after mini education program called 'Care for Wild Animal' was conducted. Results from this study showed lower secondary school students (aged 13 years old) have lower level of knowledge and awareness on wildlife compared to upper secondary students (aged 16 years old). Male students had more knowledge and awareness towards wildlife and the conservations compared to female student who were culturally limited to external exposure. We believe that limited details of wildlife education in school syllabus could be the reason for the difference. Therefore, incorporating more information or a specific chapter on wildlife education and conservation starts from elementary school level will benefit the environment and the future of wildlife in our Malayan ecosystem and to produce nature loving generations
