Difficulties to understand health disaster become part of the urban planning and its institutional challenge to support disaster risk reduction for the community. Hence, it needs a shift from reactive to proactive approach towards the community and institutional resilience. The current focus on physical disaster of Malaysia’s Policy Directive No.

The research on river-based tourism in terms of community participation and readiness for river-based tourism development is still limited, especially in the Malaysian context. For instance, this study intends to explore the readiness and participation of local community for river-based tourism development in Sabak Awor, Muar. A qualitative approac

An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model ττ backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed µµ events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except

A search for the pair production of heavy fermionic partners of the top quark with charge 5/3 (X5/3 ) is performed in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data sample analyzed corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 . The X5/3 quark is assumed always to decay into a

This study examines the impact of hedging on firm value of Shariah compliant firms (SCFs) in a –non-linear framework. Design/methodology/approach This study employs the system-GMM for dynamic panel data to examine the influence of derivatives usage on firm value (Tobin’s Q, ROA and ROE). The sample comprised of 59 non-financial SCFs engaged in

Purpose This study investigates the impact of derivatives as risk management strategy on the value of – Malaysian firms. This study also examines the interaction effect between derivatives and managerial ownership on firm value. Design/methodology/approach The study examines 200 nonfinancial firms engaged in derivatives for – the period 2012–
