Amalan hijau dalam kalangan usahawan wanita: kajian kes di Negeri Kedah Darul Aman
No full textIn stabilising global warming, greenhouse gas emission needs to be reduced by 50% upon the year 2100. The Women and Environment sector through the Women Development Action Plan in the National Women Policy has been given attention to sustain the growth of green practices in the industry including Small and Medium
Enterprises (SME). Kedah Darul Aman is the eighth largest state with SME distribution in Malaysia with 11, 832 (24.2%) owned by women. Previous study revealed that 67.2% of housewives in the state of Kedah Darul Aman are prone to environmental welfare and have the potential to implement green practices. Does this imply 24.2% of these women entrepreneurs? The exploration is important, but the number of women practicing it in the business is still unknown. The objectives of this study are to explore the level of green practice; to identify factors that influence entrepreneurs in practicing or not; and further suggest guidelines on how the government can promote green practices. The exploratory case study is conducted in a semi-structured interview of five women entrepreneurs based on the purposive sampling method. The data was analyzed using the content analysis method through the analytic category development tool and category analysis review. The findings of the study found that the applicability of green
practice of respondents is closely related to the type of business, the popularity and acceptance. The respondents were found to be incapable of taking additional initiatives to implement green practices that were not business-related or difficult to implement.
Women entrepreneurs practice green by expecting returns to themselves (cost or income) and others (environmental or welfare). However, they do not practice green due to entrepreneurial capacity (knowledge, awareness and time) and external factors (support system). Therefore, the guidelines needed should focus on the spreading of awareness, enforcement by the government, early exposure practices, effective communication and incentives to practitioners

Risk analysis related to operations in oil and gas plant : the challenges for quantitative and qualitative analysis
No full textThis research is related to the circle of risk management in an oil and gas industry which only discussing the items with regards to risk analysis phase only instead of embedded up to whole of phases in the managing risk. In this industry, there are onshore and offshore sectors. Additionally, the scope of this research is only covering the plant in onshore sites. This research is conducted as there are several flaws or weaknesses in analyzing risks in the onshore plant. These weak points caused the risk analysis done previously seems relatively not effective since there is still accident happened in the plant. Therefore, this research was carried in order to search out what are the challenges that contribute to the existence of those flaws. This research was also done to determine the types of risks that have high possibilities to take place in undesirable future condition as well as investigating the types of risk analysis practiced by the personnel in analyzing these risks. The scope of this research is not over than the states of Pahang and Terengganu in the East Coast region of Malaysia. By referring to the previous academic sources, the term “risk” itself could brings either positive of negative definition. In the nature of risk, there are sequences of risk attitude when dealing with risk. The major types of risk attitude are risk averse, risk neutral and risk acceptance. The sources also discussed on the operations of the oil and gas plant as well as the types of risks identified that related to those operations. The most important parts of the information are the knowledge of the types of techniques used to analyze risk such as FMEA and HAZOP as well as the challenges that have been identified in conducting risk analysis in other industries generally. The type of sampling method used in this research was the simple random sampling which is the most suitable method to choose the targeted samples. By thorough discussions on the findings, there are five major types of risks exist in the onshore oil and gas plant which are fire, explosion, gas and equipment or machinery risks as well as maintenance risk. There are more than one type of risk analysis technique practiced in the plant such as the HAZID, HAZOP, FMEA, fault tree analysis and the HIRARC. Moreover, this research highlighted four specific challenges faced during the risk analysis process like limited of data, optimistic estimating, complex measurement and communication of risks and last but not least interpreting past data to predict or make decision of future risks

A model of knowledge mapping in visualizing the hotspot of dengue
No full textFormulation process is very important in model development. Due to that, this study was performed as a formulation process for the K-Map model development in order to visualize the dengue hotspot. Purpose of this study is to find the appropriate technique on knowledge visualization and also to identify the contributing parameters for the dengue outbreak. Methodology that has been used is by analysing the literature review from empirical paper. Result from this study shows that Venn diagram is one of the technique that can be used to visualize the dengue hotspot while the environmental parameter is one of the contributing factors in dengue transmission and distribution. Ten environmental parameters that are land use, housing types, Land Surface Temperature, Elevation, Soil Moisture, Greenness, Population Density, rainfall, temperature and humidity have been identified. As a conclusion, climate change impact is one of the environmental parameter, which influences the trend of dengue transmission and distribution. The impact of climate change on the transmission patterns of dengue diseases can be both direct and indirect. A direct impact describes how the changes in precipitation and temperature trend can influence the trend of the dengue transmission and distribution pattern. Instead indirect impact describe how the factors such as human population dynamics and their effects on exposure risk, changes in vegetation, hydrology and other landscape features can influence the trend of dengue transmission and distribution pattern
