The practice of reporting shariah non-compliant income in the annual financial report of Islamic Commercial Banks in Malaysia
No full textBank Negara Malaysia (BNM) telah memperkenalkan Polisi bagi Pelaporan Kewangan untuk Institusi Perbankan Islam yang berkuatkuasa pada 1 Januari 2018. Polisi ini bertujuan untuk memudahkan penilaian terhadap kedudukan kewangan, prestasi dan pematuhan Syariah bagi institusi kewangan Islam. Walau bagaimanapun, pelaporan daripada jawatankuasa Penasihat Syariah beberapa bank Islam mungkin tidak memenuhi piawaian yang ditetapkan oleh BNM dari segi melaporkan pendapatan tidak patuh Syariah dalam laporan kewangan tahunan mereka. Oleh itu kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji sejauh mana bank-bank Islam mematuhi Polisi yang ditetapkan oleh BNM, khusus kepada pelaporan Bank Perdagangan Islam di Malaysia terhadap pendapatan tidak patuh Syariah dalam laporan kewangan tahunan mereka. Kaedah kualitatif digunakan sebagai metodologi penyelidikan utama kajian ini untuk mendapatkan maklumat daripada laporan kewangan tahunan bank, serta kajian yang berkaitan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa sembilan daripada enam belas bank Perdagangan Islam di Malaysia telah memenuhi piawaian yang disediakan oleh Bank Negara dalam melaporkan pendapatan tidak patuh Syariah dengan terperinci dan lengkap dalam laporan kewangan tahunan mereka. Walau bagaimanapun, bank Perdagangan Islam yang selebihnya tidak melaporkan pendapatan tidak patuh Syariah mereka dalam laporan tahunan. Penyelidikan ini akan menyumbang kepada para pengamal Bank Perdagangan Islam dari segi menyediakan maklumat yang telus mengenai urusan perniagaan dan kewangan
Combination of program evaluation and review technique (PERT) and critical path method (CPM) for project schedule development
No full textOne of the problems faced by the contractors is an inappropriate scheduling method. For project scheduling, the contractor using Bar chart. Although this method still can be used, but in its application is limitedto scheduling large-scale projects, because this method cannot describe the interdependence of activity. The problem can be solved using Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM). PERT is a method that can be used to estimate the duration of activity and can calculate the probability of project time completion, while CPM is a scheduling method used to find the path of critical path and can describe the relationship between activities. Scheduling results using CPM found that the minimum duration to complete the project was 135 days with 20 activities on the critical path with 50% project probability. Further analysis using PERT found that for a greater probability of the project completion was 68% for 139.78 days duration, 95% for 144.56 days, and 99.7% for 149.34 days

Pembangunan program remaja adalah penting untuk negara dalam pelbagai cara kerana kesejahteraan hidup remaja boleh dianggap sebagai petunjuk utama kepada kemakmuran negara. Sebaliknya, jika remaja terjebak dengan pelbagai masalah sosial menjadikan mereka sebagai golongan yang tidak matang yang sentiasa mencabar norma-norma kemasyarakatan. Walaupun golongan remaja dianggap penting dalam kemajuan sesebuah negara, ada ketikanya mereka terpinggir dan dikecualikan daripada mengambil bahagian sepenuhnya dalam masyarakat dan institusinya. Apatah lagi, apabila mereka yang mempunyai pengalaman hidup negatif dan berkecenderungan bergelut dengan masa, ruang, sumber dan pembentukan identiti. Mereka juga sering mempamerkan tingkah laku anti-sosial
Kandungan kemarmaran stik Ribeye dan kesannya terhadap ciri-ciri kualiti tekstur dan mikrostruktur daging
No full textKajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti kandungan lemak intraotot (kemarmaran) dan kesannya terhadap ciri-ciri kualiti tekstur dan mikrostruktur daging stik ribeye daripada empat baka lembu berbeza iaitu Wagyu, Angus, Brahman dan Kedah-Kelantan (KK). Darjah kemarmaran diukur dengan menggunakan analisis imej berkomputer dan didapati mempengaruhi kelembutan daging. Keputusan menunjukkan sampel Wagyu yang mempunyai lemak intraotot yang tinggi (33.90%), turut mempunyai kapasiti pengekalan lemak (86.32%) yang tinggi secara signifikan (p<0.05) dan daging yang paling lembut (p<0.05) berbanding sampel Angus, Brahman dan KK. Berdasarkan ciri-ciri mikrostruktur daging, ruangan antara gentian otot dan diameter gentian otot didapati lebih besar bagi Wagyu berbanding sampel lain masing-masing pada ukuran 23.40 dan 47.01 ?m. Perbezaan kandungan lemak intraotot sampel Wagyu dan KK turut diperlihatkan dalam imej mikrograf sampel daging
Articulatory distortions when using different types of mouthguard
No full textA non-randomised controlled trial was conducted to compare the articulatory distortions of plosive sounds when using different types of mouthguards. Female national rugby players aged 18 and above were recruited, all of whom were native speakers of Malay without speech or hearing impairment. Boil-and-bite and custom-fitted mouthguards were provided for each participant. The articulation of phonemes with plosive sounds (/p/, /b/, /d/ and /t/) was recorded in a quiet room for the following conditions in a predetermined sequence: not using a mouthguard, using a boil-and-bite mouthguard, and using a custom-fitted mouthguard. A washout interval of one hour was implemented among the conditions. The recorded speech waveforms were digitised and transcribed into the Praat software version 6.0.39 for spectrographic analysis. The mean voice onset time (VOT) for all phonemes was measured in milliseconds. Friedman test was used as the omnibus test with a level of significance set at ? = 0.05, while Bonferroni-corrected Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for pairwise comparisons. A total of 25 participants completed the follow-up. A statistically significant difference was found in the articulation of all plosive sounds among control, boil-and-bite mouthguard and custom-fitted mouthguard (P < .001). All pairwise comparisons were statistically significant (P < .001). Although the articulation of plosive sounds was distorted when boil-and-bite and custom-fitted mouthguards were used, distortions were more notable in the boil-and-bite mouthguard

Therefore, this study aims to investigate the aspect of spirituality and coping strategies with psychological distress in haemodialysis patients. Participants were 64 patients undergoing haemodialysis in Kepala Batas, Pulau Pinang.

Results showed that there were significant correlations between spirituality aspects and psychological distress. This study also confirms that there was a significant relationship between problem-focused engagement and emotion-focused engagement with psychological distress. Likewise, emotion-focused disengagement and problem-focused disengagement also reported having a significant relationship with psychological distress. Additionally, emotion-focused disengagement was the leading cause of psychological distress among patients. Therefore, it implies that spirituality aspects and using the right coping strategies can help in managing patients\u27 psychological distress to lead a more positive and improve everyday life
