Pelaburan secara pengumpulan dana masyarakat (crowdfunding) dan isu-isu syariah yang berkaitan
No full textPelaburan secara pengumpulan dana masyarakat atau crowdfunding
telah muncul sebagai suatu alternatif untuk mengumpul dana daripada
masyarakat awam. Di Malaysia, konsep ini berpotensi untuk menjadi
suatu mekanisme baharu bagi aktiviti pengumpulan modal, terutamanya
kepada industri kecil dan sederhana(IKS) serta bisnes baharu yang
bersifat inovatif. Melihatkan kepentingannya, Suruhanjaya Sekuriti
Malaysia telah memperkenalkan suatu rangka kerja perundangan
untuk mengawal selia aktiviti pengumpulan dana masyarakat secara
pembiayaan ekuiti pada tahun 2015. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk
mengkaji tentang konsep pengumpulan dana masyarakat, mekanisme,
rangka kerja perundangan di Malaysia dan beberapa isu syariah yang
berkaitan dengan aplikasinya. Kajian ini merupakan kajian dokumen
melibatkan analisis terhadap buku-buku, artikel-artikel, serta dokumen
polisi yang dikeluarkan oleh Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia. Kajian ini
mendapati bahawa terdapat beberapa isu syariah yang perlu diberikan
perhatian sekiranya pengumpulan dana masyarakat dibentuk dengan
matlamat patuh syariah
The use of Islamic Real Estate Investment Trusts (I-REITs) as a contemporary instrument in developing waqf assets: potential structure, issues and challenges
No full textThe primary objective of this paper is to explore the potential of Islamic Real Estate Investment Trusts (I-REITs) as an effective instrument for financing waqf development activities. This study employs legal research methodology, (the data used were largely library-based and documentary in nature), in which opinions of jurists, classical and contemporary are analysed in discussing the potential of I-REITs as a mechanism to develop waqf assets. Besides, several resolutions issued by relevant market authorities are referred to in this study. The study concludes that despite several challenges, with proper implementation, I-REITs may be adopted by a waqf institution as a mechanism to finance the development of their waqf assets. The novelty of this paper lies in the proposed structure of I-REITs, which can be a useful reference for the policy-makers and REITs issuers in establishing an enabling environment within which waqf I-REITs can potentially operate. Therefore, this study hopes to shed some light on the potential of waqf I-REIT to become an asset class to provide diversity for the public to give waqf
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
