A fiscal needs approach to equalization transfers in a decentralized federation
No full textThe author reviews the conceptual basis for fiscal equalization transfers, analyzes the theoretical implications for optimal design of equalization transfers, and suggests quantitative approaches for assessing the fiscal needs of subnational governments and determining their entitlement to transfers. The author illustrates proposed methods using data for local and provincial Canadian governments. The proposed methods could be useful tools, he says, for undertaking systematic objective reviews of aggregate and sectoral public spending in developing countries. The author argues that in a decentralized federation, fiscal inefficiencies and inequities arise because of subnational governments'differing levels of ability to provide comparable public services at comparable tax rates. Fiscal equalization transfers that reduce or eliminate differentials in net fiscal benefits create a rare instance in economics when considerations of equity and efficiency coincide. These transfers must allow for differences in the spending needs and revenues-raising abilities of the various subnational governments. The author argues for a two-tiered approach to equalization. The first tier would be a federal responsibility to equalize the burden of federal taxes. The second tier would be an interprovincial equalization fund to be administered by the Council of Provincial Finance Ministers. It would entail a comprehensive equalization system that takes into account provincial spending needs. The standard of equalization would be negotiated.Public Sector Economics&Finance,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,National Governance,Environmental Economics&Policies
The impact of leverage on shareholders' return / Muhammad Anwar Ramlan
No full textThe use of leverage by the company may give big impact toward shareholders' return either in positive or negative way. The study aims to investigate the impact of leverage on shareholders' return. This research are using five (5) independent variable which are debt ratio (DR), long term debt ratio (LTBR), price to book ratio (PTBR), firm size (F S), and tax rate (TR). While the dependent variable is return on equity (ROE). The sample of 100 listed companies randomly selected from Bursa Malaysia was chosen for this study with the time period about 10 years which from 2007 to 2016. The data that had been used in this research is quantitative secondary data and the data structure is panel data. Moreover, the research are conducted by using panel least squares method to generate result for this study. The finding indicate that two independent variable show the significant result which are price to book ratio (PTBR) and tax rate (TR). While the rest show the insignificant result. The price to book ratio (PTBR) show the positive significant impact toward return on equity (ROE) which mean increase in price to book ratio (PTBR) will cause the increase in return on equity (ROE) and vice versa. In contra, the tax rate (T R) show the negative significant impact toward return on equity (ROE) which mean increase in tax rate (T R) will cause the decrease in return on equity (ROE) and vice versa
Linguistic and extra-linguistic problems in the translation of the Holy Qur'an
No full textThis thesis is the first to study the English
translations of the : Holy Qur'an, and is mainly concerned
with the translators' approach in handling
the linguistic (lexical & syntactic) , and extra-linguistic
(variant readings & cultural ) problems of the text.
The works that are the subject of the study
are those of six English translators (Sale, Rodwell,
Palmer, Pickthall, Bell, and Arberry), as well as one
of a non-English Muslim translator from Pakistan (Maulana
Muhammad Ali).
The translators' renderings of the problematic
instances are compared with) the expositions of the
exegetes (whom the translators have been familiar with),
in order to investigate the commentators' influence
on the translators. The similarities between the
translators' renderings are also checked to find out
the degree of dependence between the translators.
The translators are found to be heavily reliant on
the exegetes. The degree of dependence between the
translators is found to be considerable. Some problems
have been resolved by means of- the context (i.e. the
text as a whole); whereas others are left unresolved.
The translations that have been studied are closer to
commentaries than the text. The main conclusion is
that the Holy Qur’an is untranslatable in the strict sense
Smart honeycomb tile for small satellites
No full textTraditional satellite technologies integrate solar
panels, thermo mechanical subsystems, power management,
data processing and harness subsystems together in a late stage
of design. More recently this approach has become inefficient
and its limitation can easily be overcome with modern
manufacturing technologies. This paper proposes an innovative
approach to embed power, signal processing and harness
together with thermo mechanical subsystem(s) and when
required, solar panels. The approach has been developed for
the AraMiS architecture for low-cost modular satellites, but it
can easily be adapted to other architectures, missions and
spacecraft sizes. The architecture consists of tiles or panel
bodies containing solar panels on exterior side and all necessary
electronic subsystems on the interior side. The proposed
approach uses very thin commercial PCBs (0.2 or 0.3mm thick)
as the lateral skins for honeycomb structure. The interior side
also contains commercial tile processors and plug & play
connectors for any desired subsystem placement. The
processors implement common functionalities for signal
processing, data communication and control operation. The
interior side can also host power conversion, for an improved
fault-tolerant interface of solar panels with the power
management subsystem. A high-performance power
distribution bus has also been tested, for a distributed
approach to satellite power management. The proposed design
uses exclusively the UML diagrams for illustration purpose and
software handling of housekeeping data
An Appraisal of Sheikh abid Sindhi`s Tawali -al- Anwar Sharh Durr –ul- Mukhtar: A Jurisprudential Analysis
No full textSheikh Abid Sindhi (d. 1252 A.H) was one of the most distinguished Islamic scholars, jurists, and prolific authors of the Hanafī School of jurisprudence in the twelfth-century A.H from Sindh. He was widely regarded as one of the foremost experts on Hadīth and one of the omniscient men of the recent era of Hanafī Jurisprudence. His expertise in various branches of Islamic knowledge is unique. The most monumental and significant work of Sheikh Abid Sindhi is a commentary on Durr -ul- Mukhtar named: Tawali -al- Anwar Sharh -al- Durr -ul- Mukhtar. Though the commentaries on Durr -ul- Mukhtar are many and varied, the most famous and widespread commentary is Radd -al- Muhtar by Muhammad Amin ibn Abidin Shami (d.1252 A.H). This book is very crucial among Islamic scholars, but Tawali -al- Anwar is a comprehensive, extensive, rich, and authoritative commentary from every aspect of research. It was studied from the Qur‘ānic perspective, referenced from the verses of the Holy Qur‘ān, Qurānic exegesis (Tafsīr), Hadīths, Science of Hadīth, and jurisprudential approaches of Hanafī scholars and intellectual evidence. Undoubtedly, it deserves to be acknowledged as the finest and comprehensive and informative commentary on Durr-ul-Mukhtar. This study focuses on the author`s biography, methodology, and its importance in the Hanafī School of jurisprudence.

The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
