The month of June this year (2019) is a month of protests and strikes in Hong Kong. This is one of the biggest street protests since the return of Hong Kong to China. Even business people who usually pledge their support for the establishment and central government threw in their support in striking this time. This is due to Hong Kong government

Degloving injury is severe and commonly results from a huge rotational force which avulses the skin and subcutaneous tissue from its underlying fascia. This injury is associated with high morbidity and mortality if mismanaged. Perineal degloving injury commonly associated with urethral injury which can be further classified into anterior and poster

Epididymo-orchitis is a medical condition characterised by inflammation of epididymis and testis which is a common urological diagnosis encountered by healthcare professionals. Misdiagnosis and under treatment can lead to poor outcome such as infarction and abscess formation. We presented a 33-year-old man, with no known medical illness, presented

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to identify the important performance indicators used in assessing public private partnership (PPP) performance in terms of the two aspects of PPP which are “financing and markets” and “innovation and learnings”; and second, to investigate the differences in the perception between public

Estimating functions have been used in estimating parameters of many continuous time series models. However, this method has not been applied to models involving count data. In this paper, we use quadratic estimating functions (QEF) to derive estimators for the joint estimation of the conditional mean and variance parameters of count data models, s

Negeri Perak, Terengganu, Selangor, Melaka dan Negeri Sembilan mengambil langkah positif memperkenalkan suatu enakmen khusus bagi menguruskan hal ehwal wakaf, sedangkan negeri lain masih dalam proses memperkenalkan undang-undang yang sama, dan terdapat negeri yang masih menggunakan peruntukan yang sedia ada dalam Enakmen Pentadbiran Hal Ehwal Islam

Recently, there has been a growing interest in integer-valued time series models. In this paper, using a martingale difference, we prove a general theorem on the moment properties of a class of integer-valued time series models. This theorem not only contains results in the recent literature as special cases but also has the advantage of a simpler

Aims: This study focus on the presence of cyanobacterial toxin in Malaysia and anatoxin-a-encoding gene was detected in this study and the status of cyanobacterial toxins in Malaysia can now be clarified. Methodology and results: As part of status determination of cyanobacterial toxins in Malaysia, cyanobacterial strains have been isolated from dif

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) rely on the absorption of photons by the dye molecules which are transported to the conduction band of the TiO2 electrode. The microstructure, energy gap and the absorption spectra of the TiO2 electrodes highly affects the efficiency of the cell. In this paper, the absorption spectra and energy gap has been studie

Purpose – The objectives of this present study are twofold. First, it aims to investigate the performance objectives of PPP implementation in Malaysia. Second, it aims to examine the differences in the perceptions of two PPP key players – the public and private sectors – pertaining to the performance objectives. Design/methodology/approach �
