No full textBeach ridges interspersed with swales (BRIS) soil is identified as one of Malaysia\u27s problematic soil since this type of soil contains a plethora portion of sand texture that contributes to water and nutrient leaching causes infertile soil. A polybag trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of wood vinegar and rice husk biochar on soil properties and growth performances of immature kenaf. The plant was arranged in a completely randomised design with four treatments and three replications. The factors taken for the experiment were four different media compositions, i.e., T1(control), T2(BRIS soil amended with wood vinegar, WV), T3(BRIS soil amended with rice husk biochar, RHB) and T4(BRIS soil amended with wood vinegar and rice husk biochar, WV+RHB). Rice husk biochar and a combination of wood vinegar with rice husk biochar significantly improved soil properties in terms of soil moisture content, organic matter, water retention and soil porosity, as well as significantly increased the kenaf stem diameter. However, there was no significant difference in plant height, number of leaves, leaves area and chlorophyll content on different treatments medium. In conclusion, the application of rice husk biochar and wood vinegar in this study enhanced BRIS soil properties and showed a positive effect on the growth of immature kenaf
Challenges Faced by Non-Professional Interpreters in Interpreting Church Sermons in Malaysia
No full textThis paper aims to identify the challenges faced by non-professional church interpreters in church interpreting in Malaysia and explore the solutions to resolve those challenges. Using a qualitative approach, six church interpreters were interviewed and observed using an adapted semi-structured interview and an observation checklist. Data analysis revealed that grammatical issues such as SVO reconstruction and tense ambiguity were the most prominent challenge faced, followed by culture-specific items and limited working memory. Interview responses elucidated one main solution employed by church interpreters, which permeates across different domains of challenges as an applicable one-for-all solution, i.e. practice. Moreover, it was concluded that church interpreters are widely non-professionals and essential to the congruent rendering of the sermons in both languages, therefore, they deserve the recognition as an established body of Interpreting studies. Future research could look into prospects of “natural interpreters” and demographics-exclusive qualitative benchmarks for non-professional church interpreting
Taksiran Zakat Pendapatan di Malaysia: Perlukah Penilaian Semula Kaedah Taksiran dengan Tolakan-Tolakan yang Dibenarkan
No full textKajian ini bertujuan meneliti realiti konsep hajat asliyyah yang digunakan sebagai asas pertimbangan bagi kaedah pengiraan zakat pendapatan dengan tolakan yang dibenarkan di negeri-negeri di Malaysia. Melihat kepada perbezaan yang wujud antara institusi zakat di setiap negeri dalam menafsirkan item-item tertentu sebagai hajat asliyyah atau sebaliknya, kajian ini melontarkan persoalan; mengapakah situasi ini berlaku dan bagaimanakah tafsiran yang tepat bagi hajat asliyyah dalam konteks zakat yang selari dengan situasi semasa dan bertepatan dengan maqasid syarak boleh dilakukan? Melalui kaedah deskriptif dan analisis ke atas teks-teks perundangan Islam, serta dibantu oleh data-data sekunder, kajian ini meneliti dan membandingkan realiti kaedah taksiran zakat pendapatan di sebahagian negeri di Malaysia dan konsep hajat asliyyah dari perspektif fiqh Islam dan maqasid. Kajian mendapati bahawa perbezaan tafsiran mengenai hajat asliyyahmenyebabkan jumlah pendapatan wajib zakat antara sebahagian negeri berbeza-beza yang mana individu dengan jumlah pendapatan tertentu mungkin layak mengeluarkan zakat pendapatan mengikut kaedah taksiran sebahagian negeri dan tidak dikenakan zakat mengikut kaedah taksiran negeri lain. Kajian juga mendapati bahawa konsep hajat asliyyah adalah dinamik kerana perkara yang dianggap perlu bagi setiap individu adalah berbeza-beza dan mungkin tidak akan berakhir pada satu garis sempadan yang jelas dan perlu diukur selari dengan realiti kehidupan individu dan masyarakat dalam konteks semasa dan setempat. Justeru, adalah menjadi keperluan untuk membina suatu parameter bagi hajat asliyyahyang dibina berdasarkan kajian yang bersifat kuantitatif dan statistikal bagi meneliti realiti dan mengukur manifestasi hajat asliyyah di dalam kehidupan masyarakat setempat supaya kaedah taksiran yang dilaksanakan lebih seragam dan dekat dengan kehidupan masyarakat

Effects of Socio-Economic Factors on Entrepreneurship Activities in Cape Coast, Ghana
No full textEntrepreneurship involves the creation of jobs and wealth in the economy, normally through a small business management. There may be problems in performing these functions by entrepreneurs, because of certain factors, which affect their involvement in entrepreneurial activities. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of socio-economic factors on entrepreneurial activities in Cape Coast, Ghana. A simple random sampling method is used to select 181 entrepreneurs from Cape Coast for the study. The Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square version 2.0 is used for the analysis. The finding reveals that inflation, high tax rate, religion, and life style of the entrepreneurs significantly influence their entrepreneurial activities and performance. The study concludes that for a successful entrepreneurship performance to be achieved, there is a need for good socio-cultural conditions and sound economic policies to be put in place. The study recommends that the government should reduce the interest rate to make borrowing flexible to entrepreneurs and a lower tax regime should be commenced to encourage low-level income earners to have access to funding for entrepreneurship activities in Cape Coast, Ghana
Food and Non-food Expenditure Trends Among the Poor and Needy in Kelantan, Malaysia
No full textThis article attempts to analyze the food and non-food expenditure among the poor and needy zakat recipients in Kelantan, Malaysia, which holds the lowest quartile of poor population. This study is motivated by the lack of concern in providing the perfect amount of food and non-food items in zakat distributions as a poverty alleviation program for these groups. The difference between food and non-food expenditure that does not reflect the true expenditure among the poor and needy can make poverty alleviation (zakat distribution) ineffective. The Kelantan state was selected because of their achievement of being among the highest zakat fund collectors and distributors (fourth in Malaysia and the highest among the government zakat agencies) (MAIK, 2014). Conversely, the state of Kelantan also has among the highest number of poor and needy in Malaysia (EPU, 2014). A sample of 505 households from the 2014 Household Expenditure Survey (HES) among the poor and needy zakat recipients in Kelantan is used in this study. Descriptive statistics is used to profile the pattern of household expenditure on food and non-food items, expenditure patterns of food and non-food items across poverty status and an estimation of the effects of household characteristics on food and non-food expenditures. Household characteristics include age, region (rural/urban), gender, size, and household head?s marital status. The findings show that the expenditure pattern among the poor and needy is different based on food and non-food items? shares. The result of this study indicates that not all poor and needy in Kelantan spend most of their expenditure on food items. Thus, applying the same higher food items on each poor and needy household would overstate the food expenditure and devalue the cost of non-food items. Therefore, it will create a flawed poverty line which will further create a flawed poverty assessment
