IMPACTO E APLICAÇÃO DA WEB 2.0 EM BIBLIOTECAS: UM ESTUDO DE CASO DE 12 BIBLIOTECAS NACIONAIS DE NAÇÕES DESENVOLVIDAS
Full text linkO drástico avanço das tecnologias, particularmente as tecnologias da Internet, mudou a maneira dos indivíduos procurarem e obterem informações. O surgimento de novas linguagens de programação para o ambiente Web propiciou aplicações para transformações da rede mais dinâmicas. Essa mudança das tecnologias na Web que possibilitam várias atividades online é comumente conhecida coma Web 2.0. Existe pouca pesquisa que, por sua vez, se concentra no impacto da aplicação da Web 2.0 nas bibliotecas. O presente estudo comprometeu-se em explorar o impacto e aplicação da Web 2.0 em bibliotecas, para tanto, restringiu-se o estudo a apenas 12 (doze) Bibliotecas Nacionais de países desenvolvidos
Profit-Sharing Deposit Accounts in Islamic Banking: Analysing the Perceptions and Attitudes of the Malaysian Depositors
Full text linkIslamic banking deposits are fundamentally structured in a different way than the conventional banking deposits. Each type of Islamic banking deposits, such as savings, demand, and timed deposits, is devised using the approved Shari’ah contracts such as qard, wadiah, murabahah, and mudarabah. These contracts are opposed to the conventional concepts, as they are based on the concept of a ‘lender-borrower’ relationship. In addition, the Shari’ah-approved contracts are unique as they feature a different nature of risk and return. This is especially the case for mudarabah contracts (henceforth referred to as profit-sharing contracts). The uniqueness of profit-sharing contracts in deposit products has been given due recognition in theory and also in practice, as most of the Islamic banks in Malaysia offered this product. In addition, the unique features and characteristics of profit-sharing based deposit accounts are also highlighted in the prudential standards issued by prominent regulatory bodies such as AAOIFI and IFSB which, have been adopted by the Bank Negara Malaysia (Central Bank of Malaysia).
Nevertheless, it is argued by many Islamic banks practitioners, especially in Malaysia, that the concept of profit-sharing in deposits products is not practical in reality, because the depositors do not behave according to, nor accept the principles that have been laid down in the Shari’ah. Thus it is argued that both the depositors and the Islamic bankers have treated the product similar to any other conventional banking deposits products.
The main aim of this study, hence, is to explore and examine the level of awareness, knowledge, perceptions, and attitude of the Islamic banking depositors in Malaysia towards characteristics of profit-sharing deposits accounts in accordance with the fundamental Shari’ah principles but also the regulations prevailing. In addition, this research also attempts to explore the significant determinant factors that encourage the depositors to engage with Islamic banking deposits accounts in general and profit-sharing deposits accounts in particular.
In fulfilling the aim of the study, primary data collection research was adopted through a survey questionnaire technique. The questionnaires were distributed to eight Islamic banks representing various types of Islamic banks in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The questionnaire asked various pertinent questions, which intended to elicit the depositors’ opinions, perceptions, and attitudes towards the unique characteristics of profit-sharing contract as specified in Shari’ah muamalah principles. The characteristics among others are: (i) concept of uncertain deposits returns; (ii) concept of non-guarantee for the deposits; (iii) concept of profit equalization reserve. A total 649 of the returned questionnaires were complete and fit for analysis purpose. The data were analysed using various statistical analysis techniques ranging from simple frequency distribution analysis to the more advanced analyses such as non-parametric statistical analysis, factor analysis, and logistic regression.
In general, the results of the study show that the level of awareness of the need to have Islamic banking deposits accounts because of religious reasons is considered as high among the Malaysian depositors. Nevertheless, the results also indicate that a high level of awareness is not being translated into a high level of understanding concerning the objectives of the products which are structured in accordance to the Shari’ah-compliant contracts. This can be seen in the major findings of this study: the characteristics of profit-sharing contracts, which arguably are the most desirable Shari’ah-compliant contracts, are not acceptable to the depositors. This indirectly implies that they are still strongly influenced by the nature of conventional banking products. In addition, the logistics regression results further proved that related factors (‘financial services’ and ‘income’) emerged as the main determinants in creating demand for profit-sharing deposits accounts.
The results of the research should draw the attention of the Islamic bankers and also the regulators to finding ways for improving the level of understanding among the depositors. However, the critical successful factor in educating the depositors is highly dependent on the level of knowledge exhibited by the Islamic bankers themselves, which can be a real concern as highlighted by the findings of this study
IMPACT AND APPLICATION OF WEB 2.0 IN LIBRARIES: A CASE STUDY OF 12 NATIONAL LIBRARIES OF THE DEVELOPED NATIONS
Full text linkThe dramatic advances in technologies, particularly in Internet technologies have changed the way individuals seek and obtain information. The emerging of new programming languages for the web has promised new transformation for more dynamic web applications.

Kajian pemikiran Badiuzzaman Said Nursi terhadap kenabian berdasarkan kitab Rasail an-Nur / Muaz Hj Mohd Noor … [et al.]
Full text linkThis study is an attempt to elaborate on metaphysical thinking of a mujaddid, a highly influential intellectual and reformer of the 20th century, Sheikh Badiuzzaman Said Bin Mirza (Said Nursi) on the question of prophethood. This study gives emphasis on several key concepts associated with the prophetic nature, such as the concept of divinity, miracles, and importance messages of the prophet. This study focuses on the great books of Said Nursi, Rasāil an-Nūr, which is sourced from the al-Qurān and al-Hadith. For further interpretation of each debate, the author has presented an overview of some 'scholars' of various schools of thought as a comparison. From the aspect implementation of the study, the authors have adopted the use of documentation to gather all the necessary data, while the method of inductive, deductive and comparative is used to analyze all the data collected. The findings of this study show that prophecy is an important issue and so fundamental in Islam. This is because through their intercession Islam is erected today.

Recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance: A single-center analysis
No full textIntroduction: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance (DFSP) is an uncommon soft-tissue tumor with low-to-intermediate-grade malignancy, characterized by relatively slow but progressive growth and a high propensity for recurrence. Recurrence is probably due to initial conservative excision without an adequate margin of clearance. We here share our analysis of 22 recurrent DFSP cases treated in our institute. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 22 consecutive patients with recurrent DFSP who were treated surgically with a minimum 4 cm margin in the host institution over the past 10 years was performed, with special emphasis on outcome and disease-free survival, as well as the rate of recurrence over a mean follow-up 47.12 months. Results: The clinicopathological features and results were reviewed. Wide local excision resulted in the eradication of the disease in all the patients, with disease-free survival throughout the study duration. Conclusion: The results of this study and a review of the literature support the notion that aggressive surgical resection with disease-free margin is the key to successful treatment in the absence of chemotherapy or radiotherapy and offers an excellent probability of cure. The accumulated data also confirm that patients with DFSP should be followed up for extensive periods to be vigilant as a late recurrence can occur
