Journey of Illness Management and Recovery (IMR)

Implementation in Brunei Darussalam

ABSTRACT

Objectives

This paper describes the journey and process of conducting Illness

Management and Recovery (IMR) programs in Brunei Darussalam to the

current date.

Contents

In the last decade, Occupational Therapy has focused on Activities of

Daily Living as a non-standardized form of assessment and treatment

approach for clients with mental illness in Brunei Darussalam. Most of

the treatment models used for the clients is effective in reducing the

symptoms but limited in prevention of relapse, empowerment of clients

and less opportunity for involvement of a multidisciplinary team. This

awareness led to the search for evidence-based practices to improve

outcomes. This brought forward the implementation of IMR program for

two groups in RIPAS Hospital. The original modules from Singapore

were translated into Malay Language and Islamic spiritual aspects were

included in parts of the program to provide for congruence with local

cultural beliefs. After the completion of the program, no follow-up was

done on the clients’ chosen goals. In 2014, we were involved with the

Community Rehabilitation Centre of the Psychiatry Department who

piloted this recovery program for a selected group of clients for 3

months. Two days training and hands-on practical exposure were

delivered to the staffs at the center.

Conclusion

Involvement of other staff from the Mental Health setting has facilitated

the evaluation of the effectiveness of the program. However, assessment

of the pilot showed lack of communication, insufficient training, and

usage of non-standardized contents of modules, poor follow-up on

consumers’ goals and lack of relapse prevention plans. Our program

scored reasonably well in the IMR fidelity scale (41/65) although it

scored poorly on the General Organizational Index (15/60).

Implementation of Illness Management and Recovery in Brunei can be

further improved through strong leadership, effective training and

committed staff to ensure the sustainability of an evidence-based

recovery program.

Board diversity and corporate payout policy: Do free cash flow and

ownership concentration matter?

Redhwan Ahmed AL-Dhamari*& Ku Nor Izah Ku Ismail

(UUM), Sintok, Kedah, Malaysia

ABSTRACT

This study investigates the effect of board diversity in terms of gender and

ethnicity on dividend payout policy when a firm has free cash flow agency

problem. It also tests whether the probability of diverse boards would

minimize free cash flow agency problem through making large dividend

payments is more pronounced in firms with high ownership concentration.

We find that our results differ based on how corporate dividend policy is

measured, and vary by the level of free cash flows and ownership

concentration. More specifically, we find that women’s (Malays’) presence

on boards has positive impact on dividend yield (dividend payout), and this

effect conditional on the level of free cash flows generated by firms. Our

results also show that the role of female and Malay directors in forcing

controlling shareholders of firms with substantial free cash flows to cash

out the firms’ resources through making higher dividend payments is more

prominent when the firms’ ownership structure is concentrated in the hand

of largest shareholders. The findings of our study, to some extent, support

the government calls for increasing the number of women participation on

corporate boardrooms and the participation of Malays in corporate sector.

ABSTRACT

In recent times, Nigeria has experienced a remarkable transformation in

commerce with the advent of Internet based businesses. Goods and services

are continuously purchased and delivered electronically. This led to gradual

transformation in the industrial sectors like travel, health and banking.

Computer crime also known as Cybercrime has proliferated in the recent

years especially among the students of tertiary institutions and because of

this, it has become a major concern for organizations, companies and

governments. This paper attempts to provide a conceptual view of the

Cybercrime and examine the level of awareness of computer crime among

students of tertiary institutions in Northern Nigeria. The paper also intends



5




to investigate and determine the level of cyber crime and the ways to

prevent and combat the problem. A survey instrument using Quantitative

research technique has been used to collect the data and descriptive

statistics have been used to analyze and present the data. A sample size of

135 was selected using the random sampling procedure from the targeted

population of 150 in Four tertiary institutions in Katsina State Nigeria

namely, Ummaru Musa Yaraduwa University Katsina, Federal University

Dutsima, Alqalam University Katsina and Hassan Usman Katsina

Polytechnic. One of the The finding has shown that, hacking, and

pornography among others are prevalent crimes among the students of

tertiary institutions across northern in Nigeria. Finally the researcher

therefore recommended that, there should be a cyber police unit who are to

be trained on how to combat cybercrimes in Nigeria, among others.

ABSTRACT

Chia seeds found to be a rich source of dietary fiber contain oil which is

high in omega6 and omega 3 fatty acids and helpful in the control of

cardiovascular diseases. Owing to its spectacular significance present

research has been designed to explore its effect on cholesterol level of the

individuals after consumption of chia seed oil supplemented ice cream.

Project was designed in such a manner that fat of ice cream was replaced

with chia seed oil in different proportions i.e., 25%, 50%,75%,100%.After

physico- chemical and sensory evaluation of ice cream ,best treatment was

selected and used for efficacy trials.

After baseline line study and thorough inclusion criteria 10 individuals

were selected and divided into two groups .One group treated as control

and the other was given chia seed oil supplemented l(50%) ice cream.

Significant decrease in cholesterol level was observed in the treated group

.18% decrease in cholesterol level was observed at 40th day followed by

8% at 20th day. Similarly 20% decrease in LDL cholesterol with 14%

increase in HDL cholesterol. It was recommended that further trials be

conducted with sophisticated techniques to completely replace saturated fat

in ice cream with unsaturated fats and to study its effect in hyperglycemia

and oxidative stress.

ABSTRACT

Information and communication technology (ICT) become a household

term globally and has brought radical change in the way people live, learn

and work. Office technology and management programme being an ICT

accentuated programme is designed to produce hybrid administrative

professionals who will stand up to the challenges of the intensely

computerized work place. Hence, e-learning is considered the best strategy

for achieving the mission of the programme because it provides flexible,

convenient, qualitative and collaborative learning. The paper therefore,

examined e-learning as a strategy for achieving the mission of office

technology and management programme in polytechnics of Nigeria.

Specifically, the paper x-rayed the concept of e-learning, the forms and

prospects of e-learning over the traditional method of teaching. Some

likely challenges were also highlighted and recommendations were made to

address the challenges identified. It is recommended among others that

adequate provision of ICT facilities should be made available to

polytechnics running OTM programme while OTM lecturers should update

their knowledge and skills on ICT to ensure effective adoption of e-

learning in teaching and learning OTM programme course units.

ABSTRACT

Education is the Foundation of sustainable economic, social, political,

spiritual and cultural development of a country and education youth is the

future of every nation. But unfortunately, there are some forces and factors

influencing educated youth to commit crimes in Pakistan. These forces can

be social, socio-economic, political or cultural etc. This study has identified

these forces and causes of crimes in the educated youth, which can be

useful for parents, teachers, employers, planners, policy makers, police,

courts and also for the criminals themselves to find out what forces are

pushing them in the hell of crime and how they can get rid of these forces.

In the study of these, data collected from prisons/jails from different cities

of Pakistan by questionnaire and interview Analysis of data on the Chi-

square test method. The results indicate weaknesses and defects to plan,

organize and control the public sector, because of which a large number of

Abstract

Representations of the women of the developing world frequently termed

as “Third World Women” are deeply focus in this paper. It will also show

the Western attitude towards the developing countries’ women, the result

of their prejudiced view and the created implications and their outcomes.

The Western images regarding women will also be discussed here. Further,

the paper looks into some suggested improvements to much current

Western feminism, recommended from varies authors within critical

feminism, postcolonialism and intersectionality. We will also find

suggestion from modern authors of feminism, postcolonialism and

intersectionality to improve the present status of feminism. This paper will

show a critical analysis of the Western gender perception and it will also

recommend suggestion to illuminate the ways of developing gender

perception, yet it cannot be described as the whole picture of Western

feminism.

ABSTRACT

This paper is an elaboration of the research results generated from three

activities: a meta-analysis, field studies and reflexivity. The fieldwork took

place in Melaka and Dumai. The network of human smuggling in the

Malacca Strait takes three main forms: fraud and demand models and the

other is necessity model. The first two models are most often used as a tool

to investigate elements related to human trafficking, including human

smuggling. There are important differences to human smuggling of the

necessity model. In this area the root problem lies at and around the

invisible actors, including the state and other violence actors which

sometime the researcher tend to ignore. Human smuggling has affected

state security, from territorial security until the state power and sovereignty

including human security. Therefore, the most appropriate way to combat

human smuggling is a defensive strategy in which elements of ethics and


8




responsibility of governance integrated in it. With moral values included,

hence the state could still possible serve as a basis for security policy, and

as a force for improvements in global security governance

ABSTRACT

Traditional Africans are grossly endowed with rich and unprecedented

cultural values with which harmony,solidarity,orderliness,sanctity and

sanity are ensured within their community.Despite the fact that there were

no trained and armed security officers in the olden days as we have

today,yet their community were void of chaos.In view of this,this paper is

set to examine some of these African cultural values and how the force of

modernity has influenced its observance with a particular reference to the

Yorubas of Nigeria.An attempt also will be made to discuss the concept of

modernity and equally on how African cultural values were enforced in the

traditional societies.In conclusion,recommendations will be made on the

need to revive the traditional African cultural values as a panacea to the

high level of moral decadence in the modern African societies.

ABSTRACT

Social development is emerging as a very important sector alongside

Information Technology. Scholars like Amartya Sen have focused on

social development and elaborately dealt of how education, health and

environment are very essential for survival and development of Human

kind. There are number of developmental organizations, trusts and

foundations working for the cause of social development. The Millennium

Development Goals (MDGs) are core canons for human development.

Women Empowerment occupies pivotal place as a tool for social and



9




human development. Many state governments in India since IX plan

identified model of SHG Bank linkage program as ‘best fit’ for women

empowerment. SHG federation model is an improved model of micro

finance which is run under the name Indira Kranthi Patham in the study

area – Ranga Reddy district of Telangana. However, changing times also

observe the ‘melt down’ of high expectations about the transformational

effects of micro finance. Several doubts are raised on genuineness of

gender equity that is brought by mere financial help. It is now widely felt

that a further probe is necessary about the process of empowerment that

exactly takes place.

The present study is an attempt to study the impact of that program on

SHG member – loan beneficiaries. Respondents are divided into two

groups namely micro entrepreneurs and passive beneficiaries and the path

of empowerment for both these groups is identified. Multi group analysis is

done along with the study of pair wise parameters for assessing the

statistical significance of difference in paths. The study concludes that the

paths of empowerment are different for both the groups.

GIC1593062 Perceptions and Awareness of Corruption in Georgia: Public Servants

vs the Public: Preliminary Findings

Nino Ghonghadze

School of Government, Georgian Institute of Public Affairs

ABSTRACT

Theoretically public awareness and perceptions of corruption are directly

connected to the corruption level in a country. Many international

organizations work on promotion of public corruption awareness as means

of reducing it in different countries. It is implied that high public awareness

of corruption, understanding of its negative effects and relevant laws, helps

society better regulate government, increase public scrutiny and thus make

officials be more cautious about their behavior. On the other hand, citizens’

perceptions of what is acceptable or unacceptable might be decisive in any

government’s efforts to curb corruption.

This study aims to find answers to the following research questions: What

are public officials’ and the general public’s perceptions and awareness of

corruption in Georgia? What they think corruption is? What is their

acceptance of different acts of corruption, such as bribery, nepotism or

influence peddling? Are there differences in their perceptions and

awareness? Are factors such as gender, age and education related to their

perceptions and awareness?

Data are obtained through questionnaires consisting of a number of short

scenarios about different kinds of potentially corrupt acts. The

questionnaires will be completed by representatives of the Georgian public

service as well as by the general public. Non-probability sampling

technique will be used to generate the sample.

The findings of the study are of interest for several reasons. First, in the

light of Georgia’s anti-corruption efforts it is important to explore how

“ready” the representatives of the public service are for possible reforms, as


10




their awareness and perceptions must be connected with their future

choices of behavior. Second, it would be wise for any government to

consider social conceptions of corruption while developing their anti-

corruption policies. And third, the findings might have implications for

general study of corruption, for observing social attitudes and analyzing

how it fits within the general picture of corruption in a given country might

well provide ways to better understanding the phenomenon.

ABSTRACT

Traditional institution was the most relevant institution in all the Yoruba

towns and villages in the pre- colonial period. It represented the central

point of the people’s cultural, social, economic, political and spiritual

engagement. Traditional Yoruba rulers were the trustees of the various

communities and also responsible for the general well- being of their

people. For most of these functions to be achieved, there was the need for

laws and orders to guide the action and day to day life of the people. The

paper therefore sets to look at the roles played by the Yoruba traditional

institution in the maintenance of these laws and orders. The paper

articulates the structure of Yoruba traditional institution, the sources of

their laws and the instruments used in the maintenance of the laws and

orders .Historical analysis approach is explored in written this paper.

Monitoring and Evaluation of sustainable community development

and social programmesin South Africa

ABSTRACT

There is a strong ethical case to redress poverty and inequality in South

Africa and the South African Corporate sector is being called upon to take

responsibility for the ways their operations impact societies. They are now

concerned with applying sustainability principles to the ways in which they

conduct their business specifically in their social interactions with

stakeholders. This sees the South African corporate sector investing

millions to support sustainable community development and social

programs.




11




One of the more fundamental issues about sustainability in a business

context is the fact that directors have a fiduciary duty to take into account

interests of those stakeholders other than investors/shareholders. This

therefore places major importance on sustainability reporting through

reports on governance, economic, social and environmental performance

and is increasingly being regarded as a key form of stakeholder

engagement, and the most accepted formal way of communicating

sustainability and non-financial information to all stakeholders. Overall,

stakeholder responsive corporate governance results in a more

comprehensive understanding of corporate risk and opportunity while

contributing to a strong reputation over time.

As companies increasingly consider stakeholder issues and concerns when

making decisions, boards may incorporate a stakeholder engagement or

governance model, managing companies to increase value for all

stakeholder groups.

A number of methodologies may exist for the development of

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies or “how-to guides” for

community engagement and investment, however, it lacks development in

the field of CSR Programme Evaluation. Integrated approaches to the

measurement thereof are still in burgeoning stages of development and

statistical data and/or empirical evidence is lacking at this point.

Trust and relationships take time to build but are valuable assets. To build

trust, a company must show it has listened and acted in response to

stakeholder concerns, this therefore means that ongoing communication

and reporting back to stakeholders is a very important component in any

engagement strategy. It is therefore important for the corporate sector to

not only evaluate the effectiveness of their CSI Programmes, but also to

measure the impact on both their beneficiary communities and their

business and subsequently on the Return on Investment (ROI)

This paper will therefore emphasize the role of the business sector in

community development. This paper will highlight a case of the South

African corporate sectors attempts to evaluate its effectiveness and impact

on beneficiary communities and how they quantify the impact of the

investment through successful CSR interventions.

Keywords: Monitoring, evaluation, sustainability, engagement, corporate

social responsibility.

ABSTRACT

Last few decades, the problematique of ethnicity and Nation building has

attracted the attention of a large number of scholars of diverse theoretical

predilections. In this theme, they hardly provide a holistic perspective in

terms of the complex linkages of ethnicity and nation-building. In India a

congeries of multi-ethnic societies is challenging field. Ethnicity has been a

critical variable in the formation and reformation of the state structures. A


12




brief discussion of concepts like ethnic, ethnicity, nation and state building

as well as other related issues and also a various approaches dealing with

the dynamics and patterns of inter-ethnic group relationship. Such an

exercise will be followed by an analytical framework consisting of a set of

interrelated proposition to appraise the dynamics of ethnicity and nation

building in India.

After independence, the processes of socio-politico and economic

change, the ethnic dimensions of the power structure and the policies,

strategies as well as tactics adopted by various time to cope with the urges

and aspirations of various ethnic groups provide the wider setting for an

understanding of ethnicity and the processes of nation building. Ethnic

groups raise their voices against the power authority for their ethnic

identity, language identity, socio-economic backwardness as a whole

affirmative discrimination. So they demand autonomy, six scheduled,

separate land within state. Sometimes they raise voices as sub-nations for

example- “jai Gorkha land, jai Bharat”, “jai Kamtapur, Jai Bharat.” In my

paper, I shall try to highlight the origin of the problems and way out the

right path for solving the problem.

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the impact of low patronage of ‘made-in-Nigeria’

goods on economic growth of Nigeria, using textiles products as a case

study. One hundred and seventeen respondents comprising manufacturers,

marketers and consumers of locally manufactured textiles were interviewed

through self administered questionnaire. Using statistical method of chi-

square, t- test, and correlation analyses, the results showed that while

Nigerians are fairly satisfied with made-in- Nigeria goods due to low

quality, the goods are also not well publicized by the marketers. The study

also confirmed that there exists no variation between male and female

preference for foreign products. Implications for marketing management

for domestic promotion campaign and directions for further studies were

also addressed.

The Sacred and The Secular: The Effect of Reflective Cognitive Style

on Religious and Secular Belief

Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Teknologi Sumbawa

ABSTRACT

Present study aims to find factor that can shape the process of leaving

religion and accepting secularism other than what previous theories

mentioned. The factor is named reflective cognitive style. Hypothetically,

manipulation of reflective cognitive style should influence religious and

secular belief. This hypothesis is manifested within two studies. First study

aims to answer whether there is difference on religious belief between

participants that is given manipulation that favor reflective cognitive style

and participants that is given manipulation that dislike reflective cognitive

style. For this study, the samples are 56 college students of Universitas

Indonesia. Manipulation for second study is no different with first study.

But for second study, secular belief is measured as dependent variable. The

samples are 64 college students of Faculty of Psychology Universitas

Indonesia. Statistical test shown that there is no effect of reflective

cognitive style manipulation on religious belief, but there is effect on

secular belief. Secularization model, are thus, being formulated. In this

formulation, secularization is linked with secular belief but not with

religious belief. And so, reflective cognitive style became one factor that

can influence individual secular belief.

ABSTRACT

Mother tongue is the first language that is learned by language speakers.

UNESCO captures the concerns to the world that continue to lose their

mother languages. UNESCO estimates that approximately 3,000 languages

will extinct by the end of this century. In the midst of these concerns there

are still some tribes in Indonesia who still retain their mother tongue,

among others, the Bugis and Madura tribe in the village of Kemujan,

Karimunjawa. Both tribes have their own reasons and ways to maintain

their native language. The purpose of this study is to find out why and how

the preservation of Bugis and Madura language are. The method used is

descriptive qualitative method. Stages in the method include the

preparation, dissemination of research instruments, data collection, data

analysis, and reporting. Meanwhile, the data collection techniques used are

interview and the distribution of questionnaires. The results of the study are

in the form of reason and manner of Bugis and Madura tribe in

maintaining their language. The language used is preserved due to several

reasons, including Bugis and Madura society appreciates language brought

by the ancestors, wants to show identification, communication needs,

economic needs, and feel they have their own native language. Some of

these reasons applied in two ways, namely retention in the family

environment and preservation in the community. The research results can

be used as a reference for mother tongues in Indonesia and other country

which have extinct mother tongues. So with those preservation efforts of

the mother tongues can be preserved well.

Women Folk In Sokoto Caliphate: A Historical Overview On Their

Roles And Contributions in the 19th

ABSTRACT

In some parts of the world, Women are regarded and considered inferior to

their Male counterparts in the development of the Society. Certainly, the

role of Women in any Society is very enormous. They are the mothers and

thus, the backbone of any Society. There is a saying “behind every

successful man is a Woman”. Women have been vicissitudes of time. But

yet, the most striking thing is that very little attention has actually been

accorded to their contributions. In West Africa, research and studies have

been conducted on Women in different societies in the region. The findings

however, were not well adequate and properly documented. Therefore,

serious attention is to be given to the role of Women in old and

contemporary Societies more especially in the Islamic sub region which

recoded various progressive Societies in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Among these Societies included Sokoto Caliphate were Women left an

indelible mark in the success of the jihad Movement. They contributed to

the development of the Society intellectually, morally and economically.

This necessitates the need to set out an outline on the contributions of

Women to the progress and prosperity of this great Caliphate.

GIC1593072 The concept of beauty in the holy quran

Moshtaq Ali

Dept. of Arabic Language & Literature, Islamic University,Kushtia,

Bangladesh

ABSTRACT

Al-Quran is the holy scripture of Muslims. It is undoubtedly believed to

contain all the possible solutions of all human issues. Being the final

revelation of Allah, It is enriched with a huge number of features that are

working as tools to ensure its inimitability, uniqueness and timeless

effectiveness. Its language is crafted with such a sophisticated linguistic

excellence that even the pagan Arabs (the first non-believing recipients)

used to be amazed and speechless. The Quranic challenge to imitate even a

single one of its verses is yet to be attempted. Sinse its very revelation and

onward it attracted a huge concentration of western and eastern scholars of

various disciplines of thought. The artistic set up of the Quranic language,

the ever renewing significance of its thoughts and its much leaning and

human friendly dealings with problematic human issues are believed to be

the premier motivations of all such scholarly studied. Among these most

recently developed disciplines the aestheticians are the most modernist



16




thinkers to approach the holy Quran. These thinkers noticed that; the holy

Quran frequently used the terms jamal, husn, ahsan , zeenah etc. words

which refers to beauty in a good number of its verses. The appeal becomes

so obvious when the prophet (S.A) states: certainly Allah is beautiful and

he prefers beauty”. Moreover the Quran has directed the thoughtful people

to investigate into the beauty embedded within the universe around.

Furthermore the Quran has not only emphasized on beauty as the core

essence of all creation but also called all humankind to worship Allah

keeping this sense of beauty with whatever they offer to attain Allah’s

nearness. So it is among the core duties of a believer to develop a

beautified attitude and respect in whatever he performs

matters from a different point of view than that of eastern ones; which is in

the long run generated a quiet different understanding of the said matters.

To us the difference of philosophy and the ethical tradition of the both

parties are mostly responsible for such contradictions. In this article the

prime focus will be on the eastern approach of understanding the

previously mentioned Quranic terms and related verses to examine the

most popular claim that the holy Quran is not only a religious scripture but

also is a masterly exposure of Allah’s beauty through wards and his

creation is purely the translation and interpretation of that beautiful sense.

Taking all this issues into consideration the thinkers systemically

approached the holy Quran. They firstly developed a methodology of

research to study this trend in the Holy Scripture; and accordingly they

tried to analyze the meaning, context and effect of these lexes in

maximizing the output of its phraseology. Secondly; they examined the

philosophical, metaphysical and axiological aspects and facts of this beauty

centric approach of the holy Quran.

ABSTRACT

The unparalleled managerial concern in Contemporary lifestyle is ever

increasing. One has to cope up with the challenges at work and the stress

along with it. The problem is in difficult times when economy is terrible,

stress at home and workplace keep arising. Due to change in technology,

innovative demands, demographical changes, increased competition and

increase in workload, psychological problems related to occupational stress

have augmented rapidly. Jobs provide an abundance of opportunities to

experience personal satisfaction, growth and social acceptance as well as

jobs are also the representation of source of stress and can put a great deal

of nervous tension . Stress produces strain, disrupts equilibrium, and it is

the source of any number of emotional, physical, economic and social

problems. Stress management is an uninterrupted process of monitoring,

diagnosing, and prevention of excessive stressors that adversely affects

employees and their productivity. Therefore, stress management is as much


17




the responsibility of employees as it is managers. In fact retention of key

employees is critical to the long-term health and success of any

organization. Employee retention matters, as, organizational issues such as

training time and investment, costly candidate search etc., are involved.

Hence, failing to retain a key employee is a costly proposition for any

organization. In this paper the analysis has been done on stress

management with a sample size of 100 following with various causes of

stress, reasons why attrition arises, managing attrition, and various

employee retention policies with a conclusion to improve employee

retention.

Turkey’S Humanitarian Diplomacy Strategy And Food Insecurity Of

Mena Countries.

Sabri Aydin

Department of International Relations, Uludag University Turkey

ABSTRACT

In recent years, Turkey’s expenditures in humanitarian aid tremendously

escalated from 85 million dollars in 2003 to 3.5 billion dollars in 2013.

Turkey, ranked the fourth among emergency donor countries of the world,

has been providing humanitarian aid to more than one hundred countries on

five continents. Substantial amount of these aids, provided for Middle East

and North African (MENA) countries, consist of nutrition and aimed to

meet the food demand in crisis areas, carrying out Turkey’s humanitarian

diplomacy strategy of consolidating its existence in such turbulent zones.



18




This region is also the world’s most food import dependent region that

imports half of its wheat needs, and consequently is affected socially and

economically from the peaks in global food prices. Given such conditions

of the region, it is believed by this study that Turkey’s humanitarian

diplomatic initiatives toward MENA countries should exceed the aim of

existing in crisis areas, and be somehow leading for prevention of such

food insecurity in the region. Following this way, by the aid of its

governmental and non-governmental humanitarian aid agencies, Turkey

should try to provide technical assistance for decreasing food import

dependency of regional countries and establishing necessary local food

systems that would not be severely affected from the volatility in global

food prices.

ABSTRACT

Traditionaly, our understanding of poverty has been based on comparisons

of standardized quantitative measures including income and welfare

statistics. However, measuring changes over time requires consistent

definitions and measurement of poverty indicators. Likewise, Malaysia’s

poverty assessments have relied largely upon data derived from census

which is of quantitative in nature. However, aggregate data based on

quantitative method alone do not reveal the more subjective elements of

poor people’s experiences of poverty or the ways in which individuals

cope. Besides, recent studies show a shift in paradigm towards qualitative

methods. Given the multi-dimensional nature of poverty, quantitative

methods need to be complemented with qualitative measures. Having said

that, is the qualitative method practical and fitting enough to measure the

human perspective in poverty? This paper attempts to demonstrate that

both quantitative and qualitative methods are essential in providing holistic

understanding of poverty. Available research on poverty was scrutinized to

illustrate this.. The paper concludes by providing implication of using both

methods. Based on content analysis, extensive review of secondary data

was undertaken to examine and understand the rising phenomenon of

current paper on poverty in Malaysia. . Given the multi-dimensional nature

of poverty, quantitative methods need to be complemented with qualitative

measures.

from devoting their intellectual to knowledge, they also have to strive for

getting financial independency. Majority students in college especially

private college needs financial supports in order to live in comfort student

life. Thus, this study eexplores the potential of Zakat in minimizing

Muslim students’ financial difficulties. Secondly, this study discovers the

realities of students’ life and their challenges. Thirdly, this study

recommends solutions in solving students’ problems. The study employed

conceptual research method by reviewing various literature and 2014

reports from Zakat institutions in Malaysia. The findings showw that, in

principle, students can be eligible to be included in the eight Asnaf and

hence able to receive Zakat. Furthermore, the methods of Zakat distribution

among students need to be more proactive either by accessing the students

by institution or making arrangement through institutions. Zakat also plays

a vital role in improving Muslims life by encouraging them in having

knowledge advancement. These are parallel with the objectives of Shari’ah

(Maqasid Shari’ah). This research is significant as it gives Zakat

institutions opportunities to find more of its potential and roles in assisting

and improving societies. Students also will be benefited with the proactive

implementation of Zakat.

ABSTRACT

Traditional Africans are grossly endowed with rich and unprecedented

cultural values with which harmony, solidarity, orderliness, sanctity and



20




sanity are ensured within their community. Despite the fact that there were

no trained and armed security officers in the olden days as we have today,

yet their community were void of chaos. In view of this, this paper is set to

examine some of these African cultural values and how the force of

modernity has influenced its observance with a particular reference to the

Yoruba of Nigeria. An attempt also will be made to discuss the concept of

modernity and equally on how African cultural values were enforced in the

traditional societies. In conclusion, recommendations will be made on the

need to revive the traditional African cultural values as a panacea to the

high level of moral decadence in the modern African societies.

ABSTRACT

Rhizosphere is a rich niche of microbes and should be explored for

obtaining plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which enhance

the growth of the plant either directly or indirectly. A total of 144

rhizobacteria were isolated from rhizospheric soil of Z. armatum DC. A

total of 12 different genera were identified. 29.17% were Bacillus followed

by Pseudomonas (21.53%), Klebsiella, Micrococcus (6.25%) each,

Staphylococcus, Azotobacter, Flavobacterium and Serratia being 4.86%

each, Xanthomonas (3.47%), Alcaligenes and Enterobacter (2.78%) each

and Azospirillium (0.69%). All isolates were tested for PGPR properties.

IAA ranged from 0.693±0.83µg/ml to 73.41±1.95µg/ml. The ability to

solubilize phosphate was positively exhibited by 67 isolates, ranging from

21.4±1.02% to 309.1±1.63%. A total of 61 isolates produced siderophore

and 92 isolates showed positive results for ammonia production. Based on



22




partial gene (722 to 1245 bp) sequence using the BLAST query, two

isolates (S1BDW2, S3GS3) were identified as Bacillus thuringiensis.

Isolates S2DR1 and S3KR2 were shared maximum identity to value of

99% with Pseudomonas poae. Two isolates (S2KW5 and S2DS7) were

identified as Bacillus subtilis (98% similarity) and B. megaterium (97%

similarity) respectively. One isolates (S3KS4) was identified as

Pseudomonas syringae (99% similarity).

GIC1593083 Applicability Of International Criminal Law During Forced Migration

Of Women

Shreyas Negi, Naini Swami

Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur

ABSTRACT

This paper concentrates on the gender paradigm of international criminal

law and highlights the significant ignorance towards the sufferings which

women endure in consequence of armed conflict. To analyse this issue, this

paper concentrates on the crimes against women, which are scarcely

discussed in the framework of International Criminal law. These harms

encompass assault, rape, sexual violence and other harms which do not fall

under the ambit of conventional criminal structure, but are the product of

opportunistic acts during forced displacement.

The initial part of this paper covers the harms suffered by refugees at the

hands of relatives, acquaintances and strangers, who are not acting in

furtherance of any dispute. It further examines the purview of the Rome

Statute with respect to these crimes. Even though the provisions of the

Rome Statue do not cover such opportunistic acts directly, but a liberal

interpretation of such provisions with the assistance of international

refugee law offers a means through which the ambit of these provisions can

be adequately expanded.

The core objective of international criminal law is to focus on crimes of

such a grave nature that they could be brought under the broad umbrella of

harms against all humankind. Atrocities against women in situations of

forced displacement are often deemed sufficiently grave to be considered

as a significant part of this goal.

International criminal law requires a fundamental reconstruction, which

will include expansion of the scope and application in situations of crimes

against women during forced displacement. Arigid, well-defined structure

and provisions which specifically focus on opportunistic crimes against

women in cases of forced migration, would be the most efficient means to

deal with this crucial and pertinent issue. Other legal avenues like human

rights laws can also be sought in finding a solution to this issue. This issue


23




demands the immediate and urgent attention of the international criminal

law framework.

ABSTRACT

This research focuses on minority groups in Pakistan, their living

condition, role and constitutional rights as Pakistani nationals. This study

tries to find out causes behind violation of rights of minorities in Pakistan

and poses suggestions for safeguarding their rights. Pakistan is rated among

the most dangerous places in the world, not only for international tourists

also for minorities that are part of Pakistani social fabric as lawful citizens.

There are several reasons that cause failure to safeguard rights of minorities

in Pakistan. Religious elite and political elite professing the religion of

majority namely Islam are directly responsible for the violence against

minorities in Pakistan. As violence and intolerance has set stronghold into

the social dealings, it has smeared Pakistan's international identity from

that of a heterogeneous and tolerant society to fundamental Islamist and a

terrorist state. Government has failed to deliver its duty as a mediator and a

governing body in order to ensure enforcement of laws without impartiality

where human life is under threat, or when blasphemy laws are being

manipulated to settle personal differences.

Pakistan’s history and significant personalities involved in the

independence struggle have believed in the idea of Pakistan as a

harmonious one, where all factions of the society, religious, sectarian,

sexual and racial could live together under single national identity, as only

Pakistanis.

This study has utilized primary and secondary sources to analyze the

causes behind political manipulation of religion and poses suggestions for

accountability. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used

by the researcher. Interviews and survey has been conducted to understand

the problem. Research methodology is analytical and descriptive in nature.

It has been concluded that because there isn’t any fear of consequences to

violators of human rights, and because justice system is plagued with

corruption, while government entities are involved in instigating religious



24




and sectarian hate in order to achieve personal political goals, situation has

only worsened over time.

Factors Affecting Social Entrepreneurship in Mauritius: A study

Among Mauritian Third Sector Organisation.

Asrani Gopaul

Department of Social Studies, Faculty of Social Science and

Humanities, University of Mauritius

ABSTRACT

In recent years, the concept of social entrepreneurship and its obvious

relationship with the economic development and social change has gained

some level of importance across the world and in the general discourse of

academics and policymakers. However its lack of understanding prevents

the third sector to spouse social enterprise processes and bring about a real

change in the lives of the vulnerable groups. The aim of this study is to

explore the problems faced by not for profit organizations and suggests the

measures to remove the constraints to social entrepreneurship development

in order to bring sustainability in the NGO world in Mauritius .

Survey datas were collected from 39 leaders from the NGO sector

illustrated in three distinct steps. The study starts by investigating on

profile of NGOs and the entrepreneurial features in the activities of NGOs

in Mauritius. The second part investigates about the problems faced by

NGO to adopt such programmes and evaluate the effectiveness and

relevance that it might provide to the local social landscape. The third part

seeks to examine the existence of social motives that enhance the element

of care, linkages with the community and social resilience.

The study suggested a number of internal and external factors in the areas

of: policy and legal framework, knowledge and opportunity development,

human and financial resources, contextual factors such as markets and

social value. It further brings to surface a debate of the implications for

practitioners, policy makers and researchers in social entrepreneurship.

This study implies that to develop a comprehensive social enterprise

culture in the third sector, a relevant policy framework, positive

reinforcement through financial inputs and expertise will foster the

necessary climate for the development of social entrepreneurs in Mauritius.

However, the study does not concentrate on a particular NGO and does not

target a specific region in Mauritius.


25




Based on first hand information and research on entrepreneurial practices,

this paper captures the essence of identification of the constraints faced by

NGOs and facilitating the identification of implementable strategies and

approaches necessary for the promotion of social entrepreneurs in

Mauritius. Thus this study makes a first step towards constituting an aid to

policy makers, researchers, and CSR for making social entrepreneurship a

workable social economy in Mauritius.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study to examine the relationship among characteristics

of professional accountant, accounting practice quality, and stakeholders’

acceptance in Thailand. The study draws on theories of framing to help

explain the clearly understandings and practices currently encompassed by

the accounting practice quality. The empirical of the study is based on a

collect with questionnaires from accountants in Thailand. The results



27




indicate that characteristics of professional accountant consists of

accounting knowledge, individual learning, and profession experience have

positive relationship with accounting practice quality and stakeholders’

acceptance. This study helps both regulators realized on credibility of

accounting information and characteristics of professional accountant

justify key components that may be more critical in rigorously accounting

practice quality and stakeholders’ acceptance. Accountants should utilize

professional to succeed in their accounting practice. These accountants may

put more emphasis on accountant professional orientation than on other

variations. Beyond accountant consider specialize in supply a certain level

of accounting practice quality if stakeholders wish to focus on accounting

practice quality. Hence, in view of characteristics of professional

accountant, that is increasing accounting practice quality by stakeholder’s

acceptance. The study makes two contributions to the theoretical literature

on characteristics of professional accountant. First, generally, the resource

based view of the firm (RBV) theory addresses in firm’s phenomena. In

addition, the RBV is confirmed with many disciplines such as human

resource management, e-commerce, economics and finance, marketing,

and international business (Barney, 2001). Hence, motivation found study

gap to apply the RBV in accounting discipline. To illustrate, the resources

of accountant are characteristics of professional accountant that gaining

accounting practice quality. Contribution of this study examines the

relationship among characteristics of professional accountant, accounting

practice quality, and stakeholders’ acceptance.

ABSTRACT

Integrating culture into sustainable development has been an ongoing

research topic, but has not yet been of interest to the green building

community. Existing green building programs, including standards,

certification and auditing schemes, focus on technical assessment. By

assuming that a building is a cultural resource, which reflects the past and

shapes the future of a society, we added cultural sustainability for green

buildings by recognizing the three roles of cultural Sustainable

Development: (1) ‘culture in Sustainable Development’ – a fourth

dimension to be safeguarded; (2) ‘culture for Sustainable Development’– a

mediating and balancing factor for other dimensions; and (3) ‘culture as

Sustainable Development’ – an essential foundation to achieve Sustainable

Development. We proposed cultural sustainability criteria and indicators as

a framework to be adopted by green building communities through an in-

depth review of the relevant indicator systems, ecosystem services,

sustainable regional/urban planning and existing green building programs.


28




Like democracy and globalization, the concept of sustainable development

has become one of the most ubiquitous, contested, and indispensable

concepts of our time. Although the concept was first introduced in response

to environmental concerns, it has been defined primarily by the mainstream

tradition of economic analysis, which tends to marginalize the issue of

ecological sustainability itself. This paper examines the presuppositions,

logic, and major themes of mainstream sustainable development theory,

primarily within economics, and explores the critiques of mainstream

analysis offered by various poststructuralist cultural theorists and

ecological Marxists. Although considered to be superior in their greater

emphasis on ecological sustainability, neither of these critical approaches is

deemed adequate in itself. The argument here instead leads to the

conception that an adequate approach to sustainable development requires

combining insights from various critical approaches and perspectives.

Before Insurance: A Case For The Embedment Of Non-Probabilistic

Traditional Risk Management (Trm) Practices In Disaster Prone

Environment.

Research Student-Putra Business School, University Putra Malaysia

[email protected]

ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on a priori risk management alternatives open to

individuals and organisations, especially small business organisations

(SBOs) in emerging communities. It is an examination of the various TRM

practices considered to be non-probabilistic. It proposes a natural way of

managing risk prior to considering conventional and contractual risk

management method like insurance, especially where it is expensive and

probably unaffordable. The emergent of natural disasters at homes,

workplaces and habitable environments and the attendant and almost

unmitigated loss exposure through insurance system has called for this

investigation. And because insurance is just one method of managing risk,

there is need to explore other complementary methods that may not

necessarily involve the intrigues of probability calculations, premium

payment and claim administration. Being a conceptual paper, the method of

inquiry is basically a review of extant literature with intensive archival and

document readership (ADR).The various TRM loss-related areas examined

include property, liability, personnel and non income loss exposures. The

TRM practices found to be useful in managing these loss exposures include

parameter fencing, intangible heritage, control of urban sprawling,

preserving traditional mud-brick and timber-laced dwellings, cross training,

succession planning, drainage surveillance and good land use and forest

conservation etc. In conclusion, these practices are natural ways of

preventing the occurrence of undesired event and does not provide for

probabilistic calculations and prediction of uncertain future events. Now

that catastrophic risk occurrence has assumed a new dimension, TRM

constitute a priori expected risk management framework for managing risk

by individuals and organizations while thinking about conventional

insurance in emerging communities.

ABSTRACT

We repeatedly hear that we have crossed the Information Revolution, live

at the Age of Information, and as far as developing countries are

concerned, we are moving towards the Information Society. ICT is the

framework within which these dialogues are formed and terms are defined.

But how far Africa has enjoyed from ICT possibilities and achieved its

consequences. It is a bitter fact that for example though Sub-Saharan Africa

accommodates 10% of the world’s total population it enjoys less than

0.1%(namely one tenth of one percent) of ICT applications—according to

some estimates. But what are the obstacles to exploit the opportunity of

taking ICTs in the service of the realization of Third World Countries

Development? --And how to overcome them?

If the road to sustainable developments passes through Science and

Technology, S&T is now more accessible, easier, and cheaper for Africa,

Asia, and Latin America through ICTs and by means of Virtual

Universities, e-journals, e-libraries, Virtual Research, Joint-Projects by

Networking to include Diaspora, etc etc . Moreover ICT can greatly

facilitate the economic progress(new jobs, better productivity, digital

communication services), social development(bridging social gaps,

promoting education via IT based technologies) , cultural

advancement(promoting tolerance, dialogue, awareness), and political

achievements(increasing participation via e-services, NGOs, transparency).

The paper will embark on the details of these opportunities possible for the

developing world.

ABSTRACT

Communication, along with management direction, was identified as most

important if the organization was to succeed. However, an imbalance exists

between the perceived importance of communications and the actual

attention and resources given toward it. Internal communication is often

overlooked as being common sense, and is usually left to the devices of the

human resources department at the policy-making level. Therefore,

although increasing awareness concerning the importance of effective

internal communications to organizations exists, knowledge appears to


32




have rarely translated into practice or there is lack of guidance to

effectively practicing it. For organizations to be succeeded, emphasis on

promoting effective internal communication in order to encourage

employees understanding and even promote organization’s shared meaning

should be put in place.

ABSTRACT

The issue of corruption is a matter of concern both for governments and for

the masses. So it draws special attention of the academicians, particularly

to the political scientists. Like all developing countries India also faces

high level of corruption. Various political scams and scandals have dolled

the Indian political scenario. Not only political corruption but also

bureaucratic or judicial corruption have dolled the world’s one of the most

largest democratic country India. Moreover corruption has left a deep

impact on our national economic growth, we loose our national wealth as a

form of black money, the level of poverty, the difference between the poor

and the rich, criminal activities in the society has increased day to day.

So recently in 2011 an anti-corruption movement was launched by the

Gandhian social activist Anna Hazare and ‘India Againt Corruption’ group

against the Indian government. From these movements emerged one of the

most controversial political parties in Indian politics in recent times –the

Aam Admi Party( AAP). Arvind Kejriwal and the founder leader of the

party ultimately achieved a huge success (twenty eight seats out of seventy

seats in the Delhi Legislative election)against the most popular Congrees

party leader and three time Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, within sixteen

months of its formation. Famous journalists and political analysts Goutam

Chikermane and Soma Banerjee wrote in their book “ more surprising was

the unsolicited support Congress gave to AAP, almost dragging it, kicking

and screaming, to power. Overnight, the former Income Tax Commissioner

Arvind Kejriwal who had turned into an anti-corruption activist and had

fought a long battle to bring an anti-corruption law, became the Chief



33




Minister of Delhi, only to resign in forty-nine days.”( quoted from ‘Arvind

Kejriwal And the Audacious Rise of AAP’) AAP took participated in the

upcoming Lok Sabha election 2014. But AAP could won. Only four seats

which belongs to Punjab and in Delhi AAP could not get any seats. After

nine months later AAP again took participate in the 13th Delhi legislative

election and unexpectedly AAP won sixty seven assembly seats out of

seventy seats and most importantly AAP can achieved this huge success

within the so called ‘Wave of Modi’.

Thus the rise, fall and again the marvelous success of AAP in Indian

politics were both unexpected and miraculous which started a new way of

politics against the mainstream political parties which called ‘alternative

politics’.

ABSTRACT

This article describes the existing knowledge of convenience in physical

store channel as well as online channel before embarking on the

multichannel side of convenience. Convenience is likely to vary across

industries and services. Even among consumer market segments,

convenience value may differ. Building a consumer –focused convenience

into products and service offerings is important in retailing to consumers

who value time and who do not want to take so much effort in acquiring

what they want. It has been found that convenience i.e. space availability

and information dissemination influence satisfaction which in turn

influences their loyalty to certain retailers. In Multichannel retailing

benefits are gained by customers when two (2) or more retail channels are

coordinated; more value (benefit) is gained from convenience compared to


35




a single channel.

ABSTRACT

Different forms of media have become the most powerful source of news

updates through platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest,

Blogger, Myspace, Linkedin and many other news channels. Social media

has become an important resource for the mobilization of collective action

and the creation, organization and implementation of social movements

around the world. It has been instrumental in supporting political and social

movements by providing opportunities for political expression, symbolic

identification for collective action, and information exchange. In the

political realm, all forms of media have played a significant role in the

revolutions that has struck the world. According to the research conducted

through primary as well as secondary sources that includes studies of

different articles and journals, and a field survey from different students we

conclude that media does play an important role in political mobilization.

ABSTRACT

Pakistan is under severe terrorists’ attacks for the past few years and it has

almost shaken the national infrastructure to the core. On December 16,

2014, terrorists attacked Army Public School and brutally massacred the

students and teachers. Various steps were taken to counter terrorism prior

to this attack but this incident brought all institutions on the same page to

devise a concrete policy against the terrorists. One of the solutions

Pakistan’s army put forward was the establishment of military courts in the

country so that prompt decisions on punishments can be taken. This

research study was designed to know the effectiveness and long term

impacts on the security policy of the country and its significance. The

objectives to carry out this research were designed to analyze the situation

before and after the establishment of military courts and to identify the

viability of military courts in Pakistan. To accomplish these objectives, a

primary as well as secondary study comprised of semi-structured

interviews from different army men, lawyers and people from the academia

and articles from different newspapers and research articles was conducted.

It can be concluded from the study that the establishment of military courts

is a viable decision but civilian courts along with National Internal Security

Policy of the Government is to be kept in lined to avoid rifts and




37




disagreement on such sensitive issue Pakistan is going through. It was also

clarified by the respondents that civilian courts and military courts should

work together to get rid of the menace of terrorism in Pakistan.

ABSTRACT

Technologies have made it easier for use to create, access, manage and

deliver information online. The emergence of the Internet and particularly

of web 2.0 based social media has reduced the geographical barriers and

changed the ways people interact with each other. Anyhow, there are

potential concerns associated along with this increased connectivity and

interaction. These applications are the future of communication. However,

less efforts have been made to understand people behavior for these

services. Understanding people acceptance or adoption to these service’s

important and challenging job in IS research. In the domain of information

system and behavioral sciences, there are a number of theories and models

that are applied to find the most suitable answers, which sometimes fails to

provide the needed results. Prior literature commented that integrating of

models or selecting factors across the available resources, is a better step to

understand the desired behavior. The objective of the current study to know

the effectiveness of model’s integration across IS domains. The study

reviewed the literature, particularly integrated models or theories such as

TAMs, UTAUT, and Big Five. It is concluded from the review that

integration of TAMs and Big Five can better positively explain technology

acceptance behavior.

GIC1593114 Size, Value, and Momentum Premiums across Economic States in

Malaysia

National University of Malaysia

ABSTRACT

While there have been a range of asset pricing studies in Malaysia, none

has looked at macroeconomic risk explanations. The objective of this study

is to examine the performance of size, value, and momentum factors across

economic states in Malaysia over the period 1992 to 2013. First, the

consistency of the performance of size, value, and momentum premiums is


38




analysed across different investment horizons. The findings show that

small stocks outperform big stocks prior to the Asian financial crisis. In the

post-crisis period, big stocks generally outperform small stocks. These

findings hold for all investment horizons. Further, value stocks generally

outperform their growth counterparts across all investment horizons. In

addition, the momentum premium is substantially negative in the period

surrounding the Asian financial crisis but moderately positive or near zero

in other times. Second, variations in the returns on size, value, and

momentum mimicking portfolios across economic states are examined by

employing discrete state analysis. The results indicate that the size

premium is countercyclical. In contrast, value and momentum premiums do

not vary significantly across economic states irrespective of the variable

employed to define economic states, suggesting that these anomalies may

not be related to macroeconomic risk factors in Malaysia.

GIC1593113 Post-Earnings Announcement Drift in the Malaysian Stock Market

School of Management, Faculty of Economics and Management, The

National University of Malaysia

ABSTRACT

This study is a novel attempt to examine the existence of post-earnings

announcement drift (PEAD) and its determinants in the Malaysian stock

market. This study examines whether the PEAD anomaly is attributable to

market risk, arbitrage risk, liquidity, transaction costs, size, book-to-market

ratios and investor sophistication. The findings reveal that an earnings

surprise has strong predictive power with respect to PEAD. Further, the

results show a significant negative effect of turnover on PEAD, suggesting

that liquidity encourages arbitrage activities and enhances the extent to

which earnings information is efficiently priced. The results are robust to

using three different sample periods and alternative measures of liquidity

and arbitrage risks. The findings are also robust to constructing

standardised unexpected earnings portfolios based on the ex-ante quintile

breakpoints and using a sample of stocks that trade every day of the 60-day

event window following the announcement date. Moreover, a strategy

based on PEAD yields a three-month post-announcement return of

approximately 3.35 per cent. However, estimated transaction costs

eliminate all profits generated from strategies based on PEAD. The results

have significant implications for market participants to identify mispricing

and execute earnings-based investment strategies.

ABSTRACT

The dynamic of the American family has changed rapidly over the past 30

years. Long gone are the days of the traditional breadwinning fathers and

care giving mothers. Most households are now comprised of duel income

parents and single parent families. The changes in family structure call for

new approaches in how businesses and families adjust to work-life conflict.

This study looks at the major changes in family structure and the common

work- life challenges faced by the different family dynamics. The first part

of the study will define traditional and nontraditional families. The next

portion will focus on the common work-life issues associated with each

family structure. Finally, the last section will offer suggestions for both

workplaces and families to improve work-life balance in America.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to determine the public preference towards a

health supplement product known as hibiscus tea to be made from the

flower of Hibiscus rosa sinensis. It is also to understand the factors deemed

important by the consumer. In September 2015, 120 questionnaire sets

were distributed to the students of Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Jeli

Campus, and the people around Jeli, Kelantan for feedbacks and

knowledge of this product especially the benefit of hibiscus flower to the

health of the consumer. The survey analysis showed that most of

respondents are concerned about their health, but not many of them take

health supplements. Hibiscus tea produced from the hibiscus flower will be

introduced as a health supplement. The survey showed good acceptances

among the consumers as most of respondents had positive response to the

health beverage concept of tea. From this study it was apparent that

hibiscus tea would be suitable as health supplement product. This study is

also hoped to change the perception towards hibiscus as not only a

decorative plant but also of health and wellness value.

School Of Business Management, Universiti Utara Malaysia

ABSTRACT

Technopreneurial potential of graduates has become one of the national

agenda and has been attracting the interest of policy makers, educationists

and development agencies. In this respect, a major expectation has been

placed upon higher education to play a leading role in generating

enterprising graduates in general and into self-employment in business in

particular through scientific research. In Malaysia, the numbers of

graduate students participate in technopreneur development and incubation

programs (TEDIP) are still far below the expectation and financial

allocation by the government. This study aims to identify key the

influencing factors among participants to participate and to remain in the

TEDIP, as well as to construct new theories that contribute to the

knowledge on technopreneur development (TED). Mix method research

was applied in the study. The samples were chosen based on judgment

sampling i.e. government and Malaysian IHL key informant for the


42




primarily study to define the research Problem; and sampling frame which

comprise of Master of Science Technopreneurship participants in

Malaysian IHL for both quantitative and qualitative study. The quantitative

data was completely collected through electronic questionnaire survey

using ShareSurvey software. To ensure the internal consistency reliability

of the data, all data gathered from surveys were tested with Cronbach's

alpha. Descriptive analyses were used to analyze and summarize data

including of frequency and central tendency. Feedback from quantitative

study was used to design unstructured interview form for the qualitative

study which can sharpen the clarity of results, strengthen the validity of

findings, and enhance the credibility of conclusions. The result highlighted

Seven (7) primary factors and Ten (10) secondary factors that have

influenced the TEDIP participants to participate, as well as Eighteen (18)

primary factors for participants to remain in the program. On the basis of

finding, the model developed will hopefully help the TED organization to

increase the number of participants in TEDIP. The policy makers and the

TED agencies may utilize this result to develop further TED program in the

country.

ABSTRACT

This research paper is to examine and to discuss the importance of skills

and experiences in technology entrepreneur new venture creation among

young technical graduate. The study employs mixed methods research

design approach with in-depth interviews and surveys, followed by

interviews with the Control Group. The samples were chosen based on

convenience sampling among undergraduate technical students (UGTS) for

quantitative study and, and judgment sampling among young high-tech

venture companies from Malaysia and other two developed countries i.e.

United Kingdom (UK) and United States of America (USA). The finding

shows that both skills and experiences are correspondingly important for

technology entrepreneur new venture creation (TENVC) among technical

students and IHLs. This finding is convergent with the outcome from the

case study analysis that both factors are among the key indicators for

TENVC among UGTS and also the achievement level of TENVC in IHLs.

The technology entrepreneur development organizations (TEDO) may

utilize this result in developing TENVC in their institution.

ABSTRACT

In this paper we aim to examine the effectiveness of Al-Rahnu (Islamic

pawn broking) services in fulfilling and enhancing socio-economic needs

of its users as an alternative source of managing short term cash flow

problem. To achieve our objectives we conducted a survey in two cities of

Malaysia: Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu in the states of Pahang and

Terengganu respectively. A sample of 128 users of Ar-Rahnu services were

used to collect data through distributing a semi-structured questionnaire.

The results were analyzed via the cross tabulation using excel spreadsheets.

The findings from this study revealed that the community, especially the

Malay ethnicity found Al-Rahnu services effective in fulfilling their needs

of getting access to small short term loans with fast and hassle freeway and

hence making them loyal to Al-Rahnu services. This implies that the Ar-

rahnu services are well accepted as a better mean to ease short term

financial difficulties and hence able to empower socio-economic needs of

the people. The fulfillment of needs are derived from two main components

of Al-Rahnu survey questions i.e. the loan tenure and the loan sufficiency.

ABSTRACT

The rapid and simultaneous increase in the rate of development and

population growth is a unique problem facing nations in Southeast Asia.

As nations in the region develop, scores of people flock to cities for jobs

and a better life. As a result of the improved prosperity they experience,




44




deaths are delayed, while more births are facilitated. However, many

nations in Southeast Asia do not have the land space and regulatory

structure to manage the convergence of development and population

growth. This paper addresses the challenge of nations in the region, such

as Singapore, face in crafting policy that effectively continues economic

growth, while also taking into account the need to construct and maintain

infrastructure capable of managing the increasing strain placed on urban

centers. Using Singapore as a case study, we examine the city-state’s use

of underground space to identify effective land-use policies and present

policy options for other burgeoning nations in Southeast Asia, which are

forced to balance land constraints and rapid population growth.

ABSTRACT

This paper explores the place of non-governmental organisations (NGOs)

in China where the Communist Party of China (CCP) has such an extensive

influence over society that the Western notion of NGOs operating in civil

society has to be reconceptualised. To analyse this unique situation, this

paper examines the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC), a member of the

International Federation that has had a distinct role in China but also

provides a general exemplar of how NGOs operate within a Party-State

environment. The research traces the origin of the Red Cross Society of

China, exploring the reasons why it moved to Taiwan in 1949 and how it

was reorganised in Mainland China. This research is significant as it goes

beyond services the Red Cross Society of China provides to citizens and

places these services within Western theories on the public sphere and civil

society. It surveys archives to support the perspective on theoretical and the

changing of the Red Cross Society of China.

A study of economic reasons for out-migration of Moroccan women to

France

ABSTRACT

Moroccan economy is an underdeveloped economy, dependant on its

colonial masters to support its economy. There has been close ties of

Morocco and France historically, as France colonised Morocco and

Moroccan population was used by France to serve them as soldiers in wars,

slaves etc. This led to an increased immigration of Moroccan population to

France. Following the Moroccan male immigration to France, Moroccan

women also started migrating to France. The reasons of Moroccan women

migration have changed over a time as now most Moroccan females

migrate for economic or educational reasons to France. Over the years,

there has been an increased migration of Moroccan women to France. The

reasons for this immigration has been diverse mostly economic. Moroccan

population suffers at the hands of issues like unemployment, poverty, and

scarcity of infrastructural facilities in Morocco. This makes the Moroccan

women more vulnerable and left with less or no economic opportunities

making them flee from their country to France. France offers Moroccan

women with better facilities and opportunities to earn their living. France

offers Moroccan women with better job opportunities than Morocco, which

makes them, immigrate to France. It is important to analyse these reasons,


46




which can serve for better economic development in Morocco. There could

be a better prospect of multi-dimensional development in Morocco if better

infrastructure facilities are developed back in Morocco equal for all men

and women, it would serve for a better development of not only Moroccan

economy but also its masses.

ABSTRACT

Pari Island is located in the cluster of the Seribu Islands, Jakarta. In the

island, there are three unique tropical coastal ecosystems, which are rich

with living resources that provide a wide range of beneficial products and

environmental services for the communities of Pari Island. However, along

with the growing population, the ecosystems and living resources in Pari

Island are under heavy pressure from pollution and overfishing. This

exploitation is destructive without considering the conservation and

sustainability of resources. There are many strategies for the management

and conservation of living resources. One of the most effective strategies is

environmental education. Previous studies have shown that most adults in

Pari Island have awareness about marine environmental issues, but they

rarely participate in conservation efforts. Rather than focusing on adults,

conservation education at earliest possible age has the potential to improve

environmental practices on Pari Island. This paper suggests an early

childhood education program for coastal conservation of Pari Island: (1) to

make children more knowledgeable and aware how to manage coastal

resources, and (2) to develop skills or strategies to protect the Pari Island

coastal zone.

UNESCO captures the concerns to the world that continue to lose their

mother tongues. UNESCO estimates that approximately 3,000 language

will extinct by the end of this century. In the midst of these concerns there

are still some tribes in Indonesia who still retain their mother tongue,

among others, the Bugis and Madura tribe in the village of Kemujan,

Karimunjawa. Both tribes have their own reasons and ways to maintain

their native language. The purpose of this study is to find out why and how

the preservation of Bugis and Madura language are. The method used is

descriptive qualitative method. Stages in the method include the

preparation, dissemination of research instruments, data collection, data

analysis, and reporting. Meanwhile, the data collection techniques used are

interview and the distribution of questionnaires. The results of the study are

in the form of reason and manner of Bugis and Madura tribe in

maintaining their language. The language used is preserved due to several

reasons, including Bugis and Madura society appreciates language brought

by the ancestors, wants to show identification, communication needs,

economic needs, and feel they have their own native language. Some of

these reasons applied in two ways, namely retention in the family

environment and preservation in the community. The research results can

be used as a reference for mother tongues in Indonesia and other country

which have extinct mother tongues. So with those preservation efforts of

the mother tongues can be preserved well.
