Financial Depression and the Profitability of the Banking Sector of the Republic of Korea: Panel Evidence on Bank Specific and Macroeconomic Determinants
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The paper provides new empirical evidence on factors that determine the profitability of the banking sector of the Republic of Korea. The empirical findings indicate that the banks of the Republic of Korea with high capitalization levels tend to have higher profitability levels. However, the impact of credit is consistently negative under both cont

The Evolution of Malaysian Banking Sector’s Efficiency During Financial Duress: Consequences, Concerns, and Policy Implications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

By employing the non-stochastic data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, the present paper provides empirical evidence on the efficiency of the Malaysian banking sector around the Asian financial crisis. The empirical findings suggest that the foreign banks (FB) have exhibited higher technical efficiency (TE) compared to their domestic bank counterp

Shariah Inspection of Surplus Distribution in Takaful Operations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research intends to shed light on a number of issues related to surplus distribution in takāful. The first part is devoted to revisiting the main financial concepts related to the surplus such as the underwriting surplus and profit. Modes of distribution such as pro-rata and offsetting will also be discussed in the light of equity principle a

Sources of Banks’ Productivity Growth in a Developing Economy: Efficiency Change or Technological Progress?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper examines the sources of total factor productivity in the Thailand banking sector during 1999–2008. We employ the output-oriented Malmquist productivity index first, proposed by Shephard (1970) to isolate efforts to catch up to the frontier (efficiency change (EFFCH)) from shifts in the frontier (technological change (TECHCH)). We also

Waqf Effectiveness in Nigeria: Problems and Solutions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The efficiency of the institution of Waqf in alleviating poverty is undisputable and Nigeria as a country with a significant Muslim population stands to benefit immensely from well-functioning Waqf institutions. Despite the presence of Waqf in Nigeria, the country still experiences increasing levels of poverty. This study aims to find the problems

Aerodynamic Pressure Mapping Technique from Cfd to Fem Model of N219 Winglet
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Due to relatively complex geometry of N219 winglets, CFD simulations have to be conducted to predict the aerodynamic load by the structure in some critical flight conditions. Since the aerodynamic CFD model is not the same as the finite element model of the structure, there is a need to accurately transform the load data between the two models. Thi

Effect of High Temperature Chemical Etching on Surface Roughness of Tungsten Carbide Substrate
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

High hardness, lower thermal expansion and friction coefficient, chemical inertness and strength are the most important characteristics of cutting tools, which can be enhanced by coating the tool surface with a thin layer of diamond. A variety of surface pretreatment methods have been developed to enhance diamond nucleation rate density and adhesio

Manganese Doping on Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Ceramics for Machanical Improvement
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

SUMMARY Manganese doped biphasic calcium phosphate powders have been synthesized via sol-gel method. The powders are of nanosize and high crystallinity. Dense pure BCP and Mn-doped BCP ceramics were fabricated via uniaxial pressing using the sol-gel derived powders. The compacted discs were sintered in air atmosphere with temperatures ranging from

Effective Composting of Oil Palm Industrial Waste by Filamentous Fungi: a Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Palm oil production is a major agricultural industry in Malaysia, in which palm oil mill effluent (POME) and oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) are considered as major waste products from the palm oil industry. These waste products create an environmental hazard and entail high disposal costs every year. Composting is a biologically based process whi

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Urf (custom) and al-maṣlahah al-mursalah (public interest) are among the sources of law disputed by uṣūlīs; however, the majority of scholars are aware that public interest and its guidelines revolve around the Sharī‘ah Objectives and that custom is legally authoritative and can be referred to for judgment. It is widely known that the stat
