Sebagai masyarakat minoriti di Malaysia, Bugis cenderung menyerap masuk leksikal daripada bahasa lain khususnya tempatan kawasan mereka akibat proses asimilasi yang berlaku. Justeru, kajian ini dilakukan untuk menjawab persoalan: (1) bagaimana strategi adaptasi kata pinjaman digunakan dalam penyerapan asing ke Bugis, dan­­­­ (2) berlaku itu dapat dijelaskan menggunakan pendekatan ­­­Koresponden...

Feeding a 14% coconut oil/0.5% cholesterol (CNO/chol) diet to rabbits resulted in plasma triglycerides that were, on average, 15 times higher than basal levels. Plasma triglycerides in rabbits fed a 14% olive oil/0.5% cholesterol (OO/chol) diet were significantly below baseline levels. Differences in postprandial triglyceride response and postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity (LPL) in ...

AIM To assess the association between ABO blood group genotypes and genetic risk factors for thrombosis (FV Leiden, prothrombin G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T mutations) in the Croatian population and to determine whether genetic predisposition to thrombotic risk is higher in non-OO blood group genotypes than in OO blood group genotypes. METHODS The study included 154 ...

Olive oil (OO) is the primary source of fat in the Mediterranean diet and has been associated with longevity and a lower incidence of chronic diseases, particularly CHD. Cardioprotective effects of OO consumption have been widely related with improved lipoprotein profile, endothelial function and inflammation, linked to health claims of oleic acid and phenolic content of OO. With CVD being a le...

A key problem in providing enterprise-wide information is the integration of databases that have been independently developed. A major requirement is to accommodate heterogeneity and at the same time preserve the autonomy of component databases. This article addresses this problem and presents a strategy to integrate heterogeneous OO schemas. As compared to the existing methodologies, this appr...

W hile it has long been recognized that software process improvement requires measuring both the process and its performance, experience has also shown that few universal met-rics exist. The most effective measurement tools are specialized to some aspect of the task or domain being measured. This condition motivated our initial academic work with Shyam Chidamber in object-oriented (OO) metrics,...

This paper presents a state-of-art review of empirical research on object-oriented (OO) design. Many claims about the cognitive benefits of the OO paradigm have been made by its advocates. These claims concern the ease of designing and reusing software at the individual level as well as the benefits of this paradigm at the team level. Since these claims are cognitive in nature, its seems import...
