RAZNOLIKOST IHTIOFAUNE JUŽNIH OBALNIH VODA BANGLADEŠA: POSTOJEĆE STANJE, PRIJETNJE I MOGUĆNOSTI OČUVANJA

Despite the enormous anthropogenic and environmental hazards affecting wild fisheries resources, southern coastal waters are still considered one of the aquatic biodiversity hotspots in Bangladesh. Therefore, the present study was conducted to make a complete account of fishes and to assess their condition and conservation status in the rivers spread across four southern coastal districts of Bangladesh. During the study period from January to December 2014, a total of 98 species of fish were recorded belonging to 81 genera, 48 families and 13 orders. Perciforms were recorded as the most diverse fish group in terms of both number and individuals of species observed. Of the 98 species, 26.53% were listed as Locally Threatened in Bangladesh, including 11.22% species listed as Vulnerable, 10.20% as Endangered and 5.10% as Critically Endangered. Four population indices viz, Shannon–Wiener index (H), Simpson’s dominance index (D), Simpson’s index of diversity (1-D) and Margalef’s index (d) were applied to demonstrate the species diversity, richness and evenness of fish in sampling areas and their overall values were 3.54-3.70, 0.04-0.05, 0.95-0.96 and 7.48-8.67, respectively. To sustain the prospect of fisheries biodiversity in the southern coastal areas of Bangladesh, management and conservation strategies like restocking economically important fish species, establishing and maintaining fish sanctuaries, banning indiscriminate fishing and destructive fishing gears, identification and protection of the breeding and nursery grounds should be taken into consideration with utmost priority.Unatoč visokoj ugroženosti brojnim antropogenim i ekološkim faktorima koji utječu na ribolovne resurse, južne priobalne vode se još uvijek smatraju jednom od vodenih vrućih točki biološke raznolikosti u Bangladešu. Ova je studija provedena da bi se utvrdila brojnost riba, ocijenilo njihovo stanje i status zaštite u rijekama koje se prostiru preko četiri južne priobalne oblasti Bangladeša. Tijekom istraživanja, u razdoblju od siječnja do prosinca 2014. godine, zabilježeno je ukupno 98 vrsta riba koje pripadaju 81 rodu, 48 porodica i 13 rodova. Najveću raznolikost u broju jedinki i broju vrsta utvrđena je kod skupine Perciformes. Od 98 vrsta, 26,53% su navedene kao lokalno ugrožene u Bangladešu, uključujući 11,22% vrsta koje su navedene kao ranjive, 10,20% kao ugrožena i 5,10% kao kritično ugrožene. Pri istraživanju četiri populacije utvrđeni su Shannon–Wiener indeks (H), Simpsonov indeks dominacije (D), Simpson indeks raznolikosti (1-D) i Margalefov indeks (d) kako bi se utvrdila raznolikost i bogatstvo vrsta u području istraživanja, čija je ukupna vrijednost iznosila 3,54-3,70, 0,04-0,05, 0,95-0,96 7,48-8,67. Za održanje perspektive ribarske bioraznolikosti u južnim priobalnim područjima Bangladeša, treba uzeti u obzir s najvećim prioritetom strategiju upravljanja i očuvanja kao i poribljavanja gospodarski važnih vrsta riba, uz uspostavljanje i održavanje ribljih skloništa, te zabranu nekritičnog ribolova i destruktivnih ribolovnih alata, identifikaciju i zaštitu područja mrijesta i rastilištu

Total Quality Management: An Islamic Perspective

Quality management has occupied a vast space of the management literature in general and the quality management literature in particular. Academics as well as practitioners devoted much attention to the Total Quality Management (TQM) philosophy and its impact on business performance. It is found that the roots of TQM and its successor can be traced to more than 1400 years ago in the holy book Al-Qur’?n and the teachings of Prophet Mohammad, Peace and Blessings of All?hbe upon him. Many verses in the holy Qur’an stressed the impact of good deeds and doing the right things. Not only we will explain these principles, but we will give some business applications of these principles from an Islamic perspective. This paper is therefore structured as follows. First, we will offer some of the existing concept of the quality management paradigms, literature review and suggest definition to reflect our contribution from an Islamic perspective. Second we will discuss the dimensions of the philosophical under pinning of quality management from Islamic Perspective and then principles quality management from Islamic perspective and finally quality leadership for quality management

Penilaian Kanun I Esasi 1876 sebagai sumber pembentukan Perlembagaan Johor 1895

Kanun I Esasi 1876 dan Undang-undang Tubuh Kerajaan Johor 1895 merupakan perlembagaan yang telah dihasilkan pada abad ke-19M. Sarjana berpandangan Kerajaan ‘Uthmaniyyah telah memberikan kesan dalam proses pembentukan perlembagaan tersebut. Melalui pandangan tersebut, kajian ini direncanakan melalui pemilihan Kanun I Esasi untuk dinilai dari segi persamaan dan perbezaan di antara kedua-dua teks. Kajian ini berbentuk kajian kualitatif yang menggunakan pendekatan komparatif. Data kajian diperoleh daripada simpanan Arkib Negara Malaysia dan koleksi terbitan The American Journal of International Law. Kajian ini mendapati tiada jalinan khusus yang wujud antara Kanun I Esasi dan Undang-undang Tubuh Kerajaan Johor. Oleh yang demikian, ketiadaan jalinan ini diperkukuhkan dengan pemerian berkenaan asas hubungan di antara Johor dan ‘Uthmaniyyah

Distribution of Risk and Return: A Statistical Test of Normality on Dhaka Stock Exchange

The present study deals with the normal distribution of risk and return of the capital market of Bangladesh. Normal distribution of return is an essential assumption in the field of efficient market hypothesis which posits that the returns of a market must follow the random walk behaviour. Again it is an integral part of Capital Asset Pricing Model, which suggests that if an investor wants to get higher return then he must consider higher risk, this denotes to the normal distribution of risk and return. This study has used a set of parametric and non-parametric tools to examine the returns calculated from the three indices of Dhaka Stock Exchange: DGEN (from 2002 to 2010), DSE20 (from 2002 to 2010) and DSI (from 2006 to 2010). As positive skewness and kurtosis are evident in most of the cases, the returns are found to be suffering from some extremities. Daily, weekly and monthly returns are not normally distributed which shows the contra-evidence of random walk behaviour of market return. Besides the inconsistency between risk and return (daily and weekly) is found, which suggests that additional return may be achieved without having exposure to additional risk.

Chronic exposure assessment of toxic elements from agricultural soils around the industrial areas of Tangail district, Bangladesh

The present research was conducted to evaluate the potential ecological and human health risk of toxic elements (Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd and Pb) from agricultural soils around the industrial areas of Tangail district in Bangladesh. Potential ecological and human health risk were assessed through enrichment factor (EF), contamination factor (Cif), geoaccumulation index (Igeo), pollution load index (PLI), toxic unit analysis, exposure pathway, hazard quotient and hazard index. The mean concentration of Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd and Pb in the studied soils were 5.88, 13.92, 18.07, 5.90, 2.19 and 8.08 mg/kg, respectively. The mean values of enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index, contamination factor, pollution load index and toxic units were found low for all metals excluding Cd. Considering the severity of potential ecological risk factor for single metal (Eir), the descending order of pollutants was Cd > As > Cu > Ni > Pb > Cr. In the perspective of potential ecological risk (PER), soils from all sampling sites indicated moderate to very high PER. Chronic daily intake values were higher in children than the adult for both ingestion and dermal contact as body weight of children was lower than the adult. The non-cancer health risks related to individual element exposure through soil ingestion, dermal contact and inhalation was low for all investigated elements resulted in a HQ < 1, indicating low risk for both adults and children. Considering the total exposure of hazard index of ingestion, dermal contact and inhalation, there was no chance of having non-cancer risk for the inhabitants of the studied industrial area. Carcinogenic risks for both adult and children lying between an acceptable ranges.Banglades

Penelitian Terhadap Wakaf Kediaman dan Pendidikan di Malaysia Menerusi Komperatif Negara Terpilih [Research on Residential and Education Endowment in Malaysia through Comparative Selected Countries]

Kebejatan tanah wakaf di Malaysia masih lagi berlaku walaupun isu ini sudah lama dibangkitkan. Selain daripada populasi penduduk di Malaysia yang semakin meningkat, taraf hidup di Malaysia juga tinggi. Bilangan golongan masyarakat B40 semakin meningkat disebabkan graf pengukuran kelas masyarakat B40 meningkat. Masih ramai yang memerlukan kediaman sebagai tempat tinggal dan pendidikan sebagai elemen teras kehidupan. Justeru, kajian ini untuk melihat sejauh mana pelestarian wakaf terhadap pendidikan dan pembangunan perumahan yang di bina di atas tanah wakaf untuk membantu masyarakat Islam Melayu khususnya di Malaysia. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif yang menggunakan reka bentuk kajian tinjauan. Kajian mendapati bahawa isu tanah wakaf yang telah lama berlaku ini mula ditangani seperti di beberapa buah negeri yang telah melaksanakan wakaf kediaman dan wakaf pendidikan. Namun hanya beberapa negeri sahaja yang berjaya dalam membendung isu kebejatan tanah wakaf dengan menjadikan hartanah wakaf untuk kediaman dan pendidikan. Oleh yang demikian, pembinaan kediaman wakaf dan institut pengajian wakaf adalah wajar untuk diperkasakan kerana penempatan dan pelajaran merupakan keperluan bagi masyarakat untuk membina tamadun yang sejahtera. The corruption of waqf land in Malaysia is still happening even though this issue has been raised for a long time. Apart from the growing population in Malaysia, the standard of living in Malaysia is also high. The number of B40 community groups is increasing due to the increase in the B40 community class measurement graph. There are still many who need housing as a place to live and education as a core element of life. Thus, this study is to see the extent of preservation of waqf for education and housing development built on waqf land to help the Malay Muslim community, especially in Malaysia. This study is a qualitative study that uses a survey research design. The study found that the issue of waqf land that has been going on for a long time is starting to be addressed as in some states that have implemented residential waqf and educational waqf. However, only a few states have succeeded in curbing the issue of waqf land corruption by making waqf properties for residence and education. Therefore, the construction of waqf residences and waqf study institutes should be empowered because settlement and education are a necessity for the community to build a prosperous civilization

Is Capital Structure Study Still A Puzzle? Southeast Asian Panel Data Evidence

Issues on inconclusive results in capital structure studies are still unresolved todate. Various perhaps and justifications being put forward by researchers past and present to rationalize their inconsistent findings. Different leverage definitions used in the studies is identified as one of the main factors that lead to inconsistent results recorded in the literature. Different leverage definition serves differently according to the needs of the study thus produces inconclusive findings. Different models employed also play a significant role in this issue of inconsistencies. Different natures of models employed influence greatly the results in capital structure studies throughout. The three countries selected for this study, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore prove that inconsistent results reported within each country are due to the different definitions of leverage (six leverage measures used) as well as the different models (the static and dynamic models) employed. Inconsistencies are more rampant in the use of different leverage definitions with the same model as compared to different models with the same leverage definition. The Fixed Effect Model and Partial Adjustment Model are employed representing the static and dynamic models respectively. Therefore, the capital structure studies are still craving for one universally accepted leverage definition and also one appropriate model to satisfy the needs of in depth understanding of the relationship between capital structure decisions and value of a firm
