The relationship between macroeconomic variable and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) shares / Amirah Fatin Mohamad

Macroeconomics applies an overview perspective to an economy by examining economy wide variables, such as inflation, unemployment, growth of the economy, money supply and national income for developing country. This macroeconomic variable will be affect to the shares prices positively or negatively. These studies are focusing and elaborate more about the relationship between macroeconomic variable (inflation rate, unemployment rate, Consumer price index) and TNB shares. The monthly closing price of TNB shares in 5 year’s period of study from 1January 2006 until 31 December 2010 were collected and the findings reveals that only CPI has significant related to TNB shares while other variables not

Small bowel perforation secondary to intestinal tuberculosis in patient with chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis

Idiopathic myelofibrosis is a clonal hematopoetic stem cell disorder due to a mutation in the signaling regulator gene Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2).The condition is widely treated with Ruxolitinib which is a JAK2 inhibitor along with prednisolone. However, these treatment despite promising has been linked with the risk of opportunistic infections and reactivation of tuberculosis.We reported a patient with chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis who developed small bowel perforations secondary to flare up of gut tuberculosis. The perforation sites were resected and double barrel stoma was created.peer-reviewe

Recent advances in agricultural waste-based adsorbents for the removal of pollutants in water (2017-2020)

Rapid human activities result in the increasing production of pollutants from both industrial processes and agricultural practices, which negatively impact the environment and human health. Most of chemical pollutants are discharged either intentionally or accidentally via water bodies. Therefore, various pollutants removal techniques have been developed including utilization of agricultural waste as adsorbents. Agricultural waste-based adsorbents are easily prepared, cheap and moderately to highly efficient. A good understanding of agricultural waste-based adsorbents would be beneficial for future research improvements as well as industrial applications. Thus, this review aims at shedding light on recent advancements (from year 2017-2020) in the preparation, characterizations and application of agricultural waste-based adsorbents for removal of different types of chemical pollutants in water and wastewater
