Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether there has been a change in the level of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure and to determine whether corporate governance attributes influence CSR disclosure in corporate annual reports of Malaysian government-linked companies (GLCs). Design/methodology/approach – The an

Theses and journals are key indicators for academic achievement of a University. Analyzing these academic output assists in assessing and evaluating not merely the quality of students' researches but also the productivity level of supervisors and the contributions made by the faculties and departments of the University. It would also help in id

The present study investigated the Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and free radical scavenging activity of Nauclea subdita (Korth) Steud. which might reflect the potency of the plant extract as antioxidant. Young and matured trees of N. subdita were harvested and cut into three heartwood parts (top, middle and bottom) and grounded into powdered forms.

Statistical modeling of extreme rainfall is essential since the results can often facilitate civil engineers and planners to estimate the ability of building structures to survive under the utmost extreme conditions. Data comprising of annual maximum series (AMS) of extreme rainfall in Alor Setar were fitted to Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distr

In network layer protocols, the most efficient way of sending similar packets to a group of nodes is via multicast. Multicast is a profound concept that has been around for some time and has seen through its implementation in various aspects of today’s network access technology. The IEEE 802.11 wireless standards, however, loosely honor IP layer

A multi-valued logic outputs for analog to digital (ADC) have been implemented in this paper. The use of multiple-valued logic outputs for ADC design offers the possibility of an overall reduction in circuit complexity and size. The ADC generates multi-valued logic outputs rather than the conventional binary output system. The design implements cur

The interconnect and increasing chip density is still poses major threats to the continued development of large scale binary integrated systems and implementation in VLSI using traditional binary logic system. The design and simulation of a Multiple Valued Logic (MVL) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) circuit is presented in this paper. The ADC gen

A 2-digit higher radix analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit consisting of a combination of a pipelined ADC and a set of cascaded current comparator cell has been proposed. The ADC generates multi-valued logic outputs rather than the conventional binary output system. The design is implemented using 0.25μm CMOS process. The performance analysi

Waiting time is one of the factors that could affect a patient’s satisfaction. A study in the Ministry of Health (MOH) primary care clinic showed the average waiting time from registration to consultation was 41 minutes. In IIUM Family Health Clinic (FHC), we adopt MOH client charter for waiting time. The MOH waiting time for registration, consul

Critical thinking skills is one of the essential life-long learning skill which has always been recognized as an essential element in tertiary education. Thus it is incumbent for educators to incorporate critical thinking skills at all levels. At the International Islamic University Malaysia, this skills is introduced in the English for Academic Wr
