The determinants of Bursa Saham Malaysia market price / Hasinah Jasli
Get PDFThere are too many variable that can affect the stock price in the market. The most popular determinants of stock price that researcher always use is the Price earnings ratio (PER), Earnings per share (EPS) and Dividend per share (DPS) and the findings that have been gathered are difference from each other. So this lead to the uncertainty for that past study related. A regression model along with some diagnostic testing was applied using STATA, the current study results show that by using panel data analysis and a sample of 100 companies taken from Bursa Malaysia for the period of 2010-2013 it indicates that there are significant positive relationships between the stock price and its determinants consist of PER, EPS and DPS

The study of dynamic modulus thermal analysis on different types of polymer / Fadiatul Hasinah Muhammad
Get PDFThis study was conducted to determine dynamic mechanical properties for different types of pure polyethylene like high density polyethylene (HDPE) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) with references to frequency and temperature. Temperature scan in the range of (-120°C to 150°C) were performed and determined with Perkin Elmer DMA-7 in three point bending mode. Storage modulus (E'), loss modulus (E") and mechanical loss factor (tan 5) were recorded during testing. Storage modulus (E'), loss modulus (E") were found to be decreasing whereas the mechanical loss factor (tan 8) increasing due to temperature employed. Storage modulus (E') for high density polyethylene (HDPE) is higher than low density polyethylene (LDPE) because the molecular chain for high density polyethylene (HDPE) consists of lower degree of branching. It also observed that as frequency increase, the values of tan 5 and loss modulus (E") decrease whereas the value of storage modulus (E') increase in the case of both high density polyethylene (HDPE) and low density polyethylene (LDPE)
Structural and electrical properties of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte / Fadiatul Hasinah Muhammad
No full textThe insolubility of chitosan in a wide range of organic solvents has limited its practical application especially in electrochemical systems. In order to improve its solubility, acyl modification of chitosan was carried out in the present study. Films of
hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte were prepared by solution casting technique. Lithium perchlorate (LiC104) was used as the doping salt while titanium oxide (Ti02) was used as the inorganic filler. In the present study, the plasticized hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte was prepared by employing dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as the plasticizing solvent. The X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and impedance spectroscopy (IS) were used to characterize the prepared samples. With addition of 30 wt.% LiC104, the conductivity of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte was enhanced from 2.37 x 10' 13 to 1.85 x 10"5 S cm'1. For composite polymer electrolyte system, the highest ionic conductivity was achieved at 3.06 x 10~4 S cm"1 with incorporation of 6 wt.% TiC>2. The highest ionic conductivity value of 4.09 x 10"4 S cm' 1 was obtained with addition of 15 wt.% DMC to hexanoyl chitosan-LiCKVTiC^ electrolyte system. The conductivity increased is due to the increase in the number of free ions and their mobility while the decrease in conductivity is attributed to the ion association which decreases the number of charge carriers available for ionic conduction. Conductivity of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolytes was also studied as a function of temperature ranging from 283 to 333 K. the conductivity is found to increase with
increasing temperature. The regression values, R2 are in the range of 0.97 to 0.99 indicating that all points stretch out in an almost straight line and therefore implying that the conductivity is thermally assisted and can be described by Arrhenius law. Ac
conductivity and scaling behaviour of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolytes were studied at different temperatures. The Jonsher’s universal power law was used to discuss the ac conductivity behaviour of the samples. The temperature dependence of the power law exponent s for the salted hexanoyl chitosan follows the Overlapping Large Polaron Tunneling (OLPT) model while the conduction mechanism for composited hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte systems are interpreted

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
A study on the policies and procedures of anti-money laundering framework practiced by Am Assurance / Norhazwani Hasinah Haniffuddin
Get PDFMoney laundering is the process by which criminals attempt to conceal the true origin and ownership of the proceeds of their unlawful activities such as smuggling offence, false trading, bucketing, inducing persons to invest money, dangerous drugs, kidnapping, theft, robbery, slavery, extortion, terrorism and others. The issue is how the launderers clean their “dirty money” from an illegal business through bought an Insurance policy. The objectives of this study to know the meaning of the money laundering because money laundering and terrorist financing is a worldwide phenomenon besides it is very important information and serious case but it is seemed less popular and not everybody knows about this topic. Then, to identify the Policies and Procedures of Anti-Money Laundering Practiced by Am Assurance and to identify the manner how Money Laundering in Insurance industries. In order to evaluate the Policies and Procedures of Anti-Money Laundering Framework Practiced by Am Assurance, the researcher has obtained data from primary and secondary sources. Primary source is obtained from the conduct minor interview with the branch manager, agency manager, agents and staff of company in order to get more information regarding issues of Anti-Money Laundering. Meanwhile, secondary source are obtained from both internal and external. Internal source obtained from published material from the company such as financial statement, Private and confidential AMLA Framework by BNM and website of the company. Basically, for external sources obtained from book, journal and article from internet. During the researcher in the Am Assurance, researcher found the agent of Am Assurance does not do further investigation of their clients’ background if in general the client’s portfolio as provided involving with legal activities or business and do not practiced “Know Your Customer” even though BNM has introduced the circular and guideline of “Know Your Customer”
IMC-PID controller with fractional-order filter for steam distillation essential oil extraction process / Siti Nur Hasinah Johari
Get PDFOne of the main compounds in the pharmaceutical, food and perfumery industries is essential oil. Essential oil is volatile and sensitive to excess heat. Many studies had shown that the major influence of the quality of essential oil is the temperature during the extraction process. In this study, the steam distillation method had been considered. Steam distillation is a separation process for temperature-sensitive substances where the steam is injected into the plant to release the aromatic molecules. The steam needs to be maintained at a certain range of temperature to give a satisfactory quality of the essential oil. In order to maintain the desired steam temperature, this study proposed an Internal Model Control (IMC) based PID with fractional-order filter (IMC-PID FOF) as a controller to control the temperature during extracting the essential oil. IMC is a model-based control structure where the process model and the internal model are assumed identical. The assumption of equality in both processes contributes to the ability of disturbance estimation. In the development of the IMC, there are two parts involved where the first part is the internal model of the plant and the second part is the control filter that affects the IMC controller's response which has proven to be robust when used in the control loop of common industrial processes. The implementation of a fractional-order filter cascaded to the IMC controller may enhance the system robustness to process gain with its iso-damping properties. This study was conducted by simulation using MATLAB R2018a. The comparison in terms of step test, set point change test and load disturbance rejection test between the proposed IMC-PID FOF, IMC-PID and IMC based PI Improved (IMC-PIIM) controllers were conducted. The results indicated that the IMC-PID FOF controller produced the best response in all tests where the transient is faster with minimal overshoot below 3%. The proposed controller did also respond well to an external disturbance which injected during simulation where it had the fastest recovery time of 198.70 seconds
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
