Daylight efficiency correlates to window design. Guidelines recommend a 20 per cent window-to-floor ratio (WFR) at 900mm windowsill height, where acceptable 300 lx to 500 lx measured at 900mm working plane height.  However, Islamic religious schools use a 300mm height table known as ‘rehal’. Studies neglect the difference in required working plane height that effect window design and the illuminance level. A study was established to propose Syaheeza’s Daylight Rule of Thumb (DRT) for Islamic religious schools. This paper aims to highlight the reliability of the methodology framework used in Syaheeza’s DRT, such as surveys, Arabic handwriting performance assessment and computer simulations.

Sustainable aspects of buildings became one of the most crucial aspects of the built environment. The thermal performance can be improved through sustainable design guidelines and, thus, reduce energy consumption. This review covered studies that addressed Window Wall Ratio (WWR) and Window Orientation (WO) and their effect on thermal performance. WWR as a design variable that deals with window design, while the WO as an environmental variable that deals with orientation. The results will help to highlight open issues and research directions in the context of WWR, WO and integrations with other factors in buildings.

This paper introduces a joint program between the University of Malaya and Kuala Lumpur City Hall undertaking the Therapeutic Sensory Stimulation Garden at University of Malaya Medical Centre to promote an inclusive society through sensory therapy. Good universal design practices of sensory gardens visited in the UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong is highlighted. Outcomes showed that users’ engagement with the landscape features promotes positive developments in social behaviours. In contrary, it proved a limited partnership between practitioners, researchers, authorities and users as well as non-availability of design guidelines for these gardens. Both outcomes are a significant argument in the conclusion.2398-4295 © 2016. The Authors. Published for AMER ABRA by e-International Publishing House, Ltd., UK..

Green fabrics that comprise of roadside tree planting play a vital element in an urban ecosystem. Inappropriate roadside tree planting implementation and even during its post-execution of management practices affect streetscape quality of life (QOL). Roadside tree planting condition in every country and town in Malaysia tend to have different in quality as different authority conducts management and maintenance for different area. This study is to serve as a discussion of non-numerical data on the potential of attributes and approaches that can be executed in the Malaysian context.Keywords: Streetscape Design; Roadside Tree Planting; Tree Sensitive Urban Design TheoryeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

This study aimed to determine the difference in postnatal confinement practice between two different generations. It was an unmatched cross-sectional study involving 200 women. Women aged less than 50, and 50 years old or more, were grouped as younger and older generation, respectively. This study showed there were significant differences in postnatal confinement practice including the pattern of food restriction and some traditional postnatal care practices (less sexual abstinence, hot compression, herbal bath and avoiding social outing among women from younger generations). Clinically proven intervention should be recommended, and harmful practices should be discouraged to ensure a safe confinement practice.Keywords:  post-partum; puerperium; traditional; era eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

The medieval Islamic cities were described to be systematically managed by the institution of hisba, henceforward, inspiring modern Muslims to revive the Islamic paradigm of urban management. Nevertheless, not much is being discussed on the role of muhtasib as an urban regulator. Furthermore, it has been wrongly understood only as a market inspector. Thus, employing the content analysis approach, this article examines the roles of muhtasib in urban management, based on selected manuals of muhtasib, written during the medieval times. Interestingly, the findings indicate a series of Islamic principles on urban management that match modern urban management, albeit the difference of time.

Because of age growth, activation, promotion of creativity in children is extremely valuable. In order to improving creativity, there are some methods to encourage children’s mind to new thinking and develop the creativity. One of these methods is the impact of natural or artificial environment to increase children’s creativity. Because children spend a lot of their time with family at home, physical environment of house, effects on the children talent development and creativity. In the present study, based on combining analysis of the survey, we proposed some design principles of residential spaces to enhance children’s creativity.

Professionalism among health care practitioners is a critical value. This study aimed to determine the acceptable level of professional conduct from the perspective of undergraduate Health Sciences students of UiTM Puncak Alam and compare the difference of perspectives between the years of study. From 320 participants, the results showed the low level of acceptance towards poor scenarios and significant differences in perspectives between the year of study in scenarios 2,3 and 6; forging experimental results(χ²=18.66,p<0.01); intellectual dishonesty(χ2=11.11,p=0.01) and forging classmate’s signature(χ2=11.18,p=0.01). The findings provided faculty’s administrators with an acceptable level of professional conduct from the perspective of their students.
