Sustainable land development is a global agenda. New policies are being drafted from time to time to meet the planning and development expectation. Unfortunately, in many situations the laws are always one step behind. There are hundred laws dealing with land but there is doubtful as to the number of laws that promote sustainable development and th

Banking sector plays a very important role in economic development through stimulation of savings and investment. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the banking efficiency between public, private, and commercial banks in Indonesia. The data were collected from consolidated annual reports of 21 commercial banks for the period

Modern Islamic finance has grown from a mere complement to conventional finance into a more viable and competitive form of financial intermediation in the world. It has received remarkable patronage from many Muslim majority countries since the advent in 1963. The Gambia is a Muslim majority West African nation where Islamic banking began in the co

Question posed on women leadership are common both in Western countries and Muslim countries. There have been many researches carried out in the past, which discussed about women's ability to become a leader. In this paper, leadership of women is discussed in a broader sense, and it does not only confine to leader in an organisation or a state.

Pollution has become an intense danger to our environment. The lake pollution model is formulated into the three-dimensional system of differential equations with three instances of input. In the present study, the new iterative method (NIM) was applied to the lake pollution model with three cases called impulse input, step input, and sinusoidal i

This paper aims to investigate the performance of linear quadractic regulator (LQR), robust H∞ and passive controller for active suspension of the quarter car model. The presented approach is based on linear model well supported by computer-aided control systems design (CACSD) tool which yields faster control design approach. The linear active su

The synthesis of graphene and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) employing various approaches with a range of precursors, chemicals, and parameters has been reported. Most of the top-down and bottom-up techniques employ strong and hazardous chemical environments, complicated and tedious procedures, are time-consuming, and often require special equipment.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have shown remarkable application prospects due to their outstanding chemical and physical properties. In this research, cellulose nanocrystals were isolated from grass waste using alkali, bleaching and acid hydrolysis treatments and further used as nanofiller in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films. The valorisation of the g

Thin films of ZnO and ZnTe semiconductors were deposited on ITO conducting glass substrates by sputtering and electrodeposition techniques respectively. On the other hand thin films of ion conducting solid polymer electrolyte were prepared by solution cast technique. The polymer is a blend of 50 wt% polyethylene oxide and 50wt% chitosan. To provide

The main objective of the Shariah is to provide a basis to govern all aspects of Muslim life socially, economically as well as politically. The ultimate goal of the Shariah is to be a blessing for mankind. This is the primary purpose for which the Prophet Muhammad (Saw) was sent to this world. There is also a common belief among all societies aroun
