Inter-firm linkages and business strategies serve as an important instrument for the way of small industrial cluster development in developing countries. The present study utilizes the case of selected manufacturing micro and small enterprises (MSEs) that operate in various small industrial clusters in Central Java, Indonesia. The focus of this stu

The study focuses on Malaysia and the main aim is to investigate the perception of accounting students towards the existing accounting practices of Murabahah financing according to MFRS 118 and the guidelines of MASB TRi-4. The study utilizes inferential statistical analysis techniques, namely, the Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson

In addition to systematic and unsystematic risks faced by traditional financial institutions, Islamic banks are widely exposed to Shari’ah risks with regards to the needs for ensuring Shari’ah compliance of its operational activities and financial products. In order to mitigate these additional risks, IFIs are urged to establish a comprehensive

Kenaf-core sandwich panels were prepared by hand lay-up method with the optimum characteristics. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of modified epoxy on the mechanical properties of the sandwich panel. Mechanical test such as flexural, drop impact and tensile test were performed to investigate the optimum system of kenaf-core sandwic

Metal injection moulding (MIM) feedstock is a mixture of metal powder and binder. The function of the binder system is to provide flow ability of the metal particles and shape retention of the moulded parts. The behaviour of the feedstock depends greatly on the binder formulations and its composition. In these studies, the possibility of using ther

DR RADHIANA HASSAN KULLIYYAH OF MEDICINE INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA INTRODUCTION •A total of 166,768 trauma patients admitted to the ED from eight participating centres . •The majority of the injuries were fro

Objective: The aim of the study is to compare inter-observer agreement between general radiologists in the classification of mammographic breast density using TABAR’s pattern and BI-RADS classification from two-view Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM). Methods: A data set of 400 mammograms was evaluated by three general radiologists. The radiol

Looking at the state of the world and the environment today, we recall what Alan Greenspan, the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of U.S.A. wrote in 2007, namely The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World (Penguin Books 2007). Although his focus was on the financial tumult of recent times, particularly in the U.S.A., the title of h

This paper presents a nonlinear adaptive backstepping algorithm for position control of an anthropomorphic robotic hand. The contraction force of PAM actuator has been modeled based on an empirical approach and the overall finger is represented as a nonlinear second order system, taking into account the system uncertainty caused by hysteresis pheno

A novel numerical scheme using the combination of flowfield-dependent variation method and arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method is developed. This method is a mixed explicit–implicit numerical scheme, and its implicitness is dependent on the physical properties of the flowfield. The scheme is discretized using the finite-volume method to give f
