The doctoral research abstracts Vol:2 2012 / Institute of Graduate Studies, UiTM

Foreword:
Congratulations to Institute of Graduate
studies on the conscientious efforts to publish
yet another issue of the doctoral research
abstracts. The second issue, I believe reflects IGS
continuity in the pursuit of academic excellence
in research following the inaugural publication
during the 76th convocation ceremony.
The publication epitomizes knowledge par
excellence and marks UiTM acknowledgment and
tribute to the 27 doctorates whose achievements
we proudly celebrate. Doctoral researches
transcend beyond academic achievements
which launch doctorates wherever they want to
go or whatever they want to do. It is indeed the
beginning of a lifelong learning and merely not
a milestone, but a stepping stone in the lives of
doctorates.
This issue features the PhD abstracts from across
the faculties from the disciplines of science and
technology, social science and humanities; and
business and administration.
May the Almighty guides us to the straight path,
in our endeavor for academic excellence and
grant us success in this world and the next.
