The ability to read legal cases is one of the most essential skills for law students aiming for success in their discipline. It is particularly fundamental since case law is one of the main sources of law. Christensen (2006) in her research entitled “Legal Reading and Success in Law School: An Empirical Study” shows that students who are able t

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate and compare the extent of voluntary disclosure in the annual reports of Shariah- and non–Shariah-compliant companies in Indonesia. Further, the study examines the relationship between voluntary disclosure and company characteristics (i.e. size of company, profitability, type of auditor, type

The purpose of the research is to ascertain the extent and nature of accountants’ involvement in the formulation phase of corporate strategy in Malaysian public listed companies (PLCs). This is achieved using the triangulation approach consisting of survey questionnaires and interviews. The findings reveal that accountants in Malaysia are involve

ZSM-5 crystals have been morphologically prepared through the combination of Fluoride and Low-Water Synthesis Routes. This was done in order to bring about larger zeolite crystals with high Si/Al ratio and surface area suitable for environmental applications. The zeolite was analyzed to have crystal size between 200 – 218μm with a micropore volu

The Nigeria agricultural sector is faced with many unprecedented problems including loss of focus, abandonment, and inadequate motivation to farmers. This shocking situation has deprived Nigerians of abundant food at affordable prices. In addition, employment in this sector is at an all-time low. The root cause of this problem is the complete aband

Over the past 50 years, oil palm has become an important major crop in the agricultural sector in Southeast Asia. Its expansion is widely distributed in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. This phenomenon is response to the large increase in the world demand for vegetable oils and biofuel needs, which is expected to double

This review focuses on the problem of obesity from an asian perspective and the current evidence that supports the benefits of Bariatric surgery over conventional treatment for sustained weight loss. The requirements for an effective Bariatric surgical service are highlighted. Principles of peri-operative management and the currently practiced oper

The effect of variation of FeCl2 concentration on the properties of magnetic nanoparticles produced by Massart's procedure was investigated. Samples with different FeCl2 concentration of 0.1, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5 M were produced. In this technique, an aqueous mixture of ferrous and ferric chloride was co-precipitated under controlled condition

First, the superparamagnetic maghemite nanoparticles were synthesised using Massart's procedure. Then, the nanocomposites of the synthesised maghemite nanoparticles and silica were produced by dispersing the as-synthesised maghemite nanoparticles into the silica xerogel prepared by sol-gel technique. The system was then heated for 3 days at 140

Organic matter and particles in wastewater are usually held responsible for most membrane pore blockings ultimately resulting in fouling during treatment processes. This study was conducted, for the first time, to elucidate the ultrafiltration (UF) membrane fouling phenomena caused by residual particulates in an adsorbed biotreated palm oil mill ef
