State Level Log Production Planning Using Linear Programming

This study aims to develop a log production planning model and to apply it at State-level planning. In the near future,Malaysia will have to rely more and more on the Permanent Forest Estate (PFE), after the State land forests have all been converted for agricultural development. A more efficient and effective log production planning model is essential to ensure that the forestry sector continues to contribute to the socio-econamic development of the country. A log production planning model (LPPM) was developed, consisting of a stand projection (STANDPROJ) model and a Linear Programming (LP) (LOGPROD) model. Data for the models were collected fran the State of Negeri Sembilan. STANDPROJ estimates forest yield which are used, together with forest areas am forest management policies, to generate an LP problem matrix in LOIUS spreadsheet. The matrix is accessed am solved by an LP optimizer. The optimizer also transmits the solution back to LOIUS which acts both as a matrix generator and report writer

Accounting regulatory issues on investments in Islamic bonds

The main objective of this paper is to examine contemporary accounting regulatory issues on investments in Islamic bonds or sukuk. Investments on Islamic bonds (sukuk) give rise to a number of accounting and reporting issues related to recognition, measurement and disclosure. The underlying rationale of this paper is that proper development of Islamic financial market requires a well regulated Islamic financial instruments and one of the key elements of regulation is accounting regulation. Therefore, a well regulated Islamic financial market requires a sound accounting and reporting standard of Islamic financial instruments that, first, meet the requirements of syari’ah, and, second, relevant to be practiced in our time. The need for Islamic accounting that deals with Islamic financial instruments has prompted AAOIFI recently to introduce Financial Accounting Standard No.17 on investments in securities ( AAOIFI FAS 17, 2003). The need for a codified Islamic accounting standard are primarily stemmed from the need that Islamic accounting objectives, concepts and principles to be developed based on syari’ah requirements. However, the Islamic accounting regulation also needs to adapt to the modern accounting regulatory environment to make it relevant to be practiced in our time. The examination of AAOIFI FAS 17 shows that AAOIFI has been pragmatic in its approach by considering both requirements when developing its standard. This is a pro-active step to provide a sound accounting regulation as part of a comprehensive regulation of Islamic financial institutions

Management accounting and risk management practices in financial institutions

The aim of this paper is to report the results of a study on management accounting and risk management practices in financial institutions. The research method involved administering a questionnaire to 106 financial institutions listed on the Malaysian Central Bank’s website and the respondents were the chief financial officers (CFO) or the most senior positions in the finance department of the institutions. Based on the IFAC’s (1998) framework, it was found that the most widely practiced were the management accounting practices at Stage 1, followed by practices of Post 1995. This finding shows that despite the emergence of contemporary management accounting practices (Stage 4 onwards), traditional management accounting that focuses on financial performance and budgetary control is still widely practiced by financial institutions in Malaysia. As for the risk management practices, most of the firms have either implemented a complete or partial Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework. The findings from the survey showed that management accounting practices related to financial statement and ratio analysis were perceived to contribute most towards risk management. Budgetary control, budgeting and strategic planning were also perceived to be important in managing operational risks

Challenges of the 21st century: instructional innovative leadership as a solution

In the globalization era of education, instructional leadership practices remain relevant and can contribute to the success of a school (Hallinger, 2005; Department of the Prime Minister, 2010). The Malaysia Education Blueprint (PPPM) from 2013 to 2025, has been designed by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the transformation of the education system.One of the main goals of this blueprint is to reduce the administrative burden so that principals can focus on instructional leadership practices (Jamelaa Bibi, 2012). The blueprint delineates that, school leaders will be guided by the District Education Office and the Department of Education through a professional collaboration effort that focuses on school improvement and the development of the school staff’s potentials and capabilities. Accordingly, the principal is required to be an excellent instructional leader and act as anagent of change in order to move the organization forward in the academic and co-curricular activities. In theory, a pattern of effective principal leadership will affect the professionalism of teachers and students' academic achievement (Sergiovanni, 2001). School leaders need to fulfill their role as administrators and instructional leaders to make improvements and monitor the progress of a school on an ongoing basis

Trust in Organizational and Workplace Deviant Behavior The Moderating Effect of Locus of Control

This study seeks to investigate the moderating role of locus of control (LOC) in the relationship between trust in organization (TiO) and workplace deviant behavior (WDB). Three forms of deviant behavior are identified: interpersonal deviance, production deviance, and property deviance. The regression analyses carried out on a sample of 355 employees show mixed results. Trust in organization (TiO) demonstrates a negative relationship with production deviance and property deviance. In contrast, trust in organization (TiO) is positively related to interpersonal deviance. Furthermore, locus of control (LOC) is found to moderate the relationship between trust in organization (TiO) and deviant behaviors. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed

Determinants Influencing Supply Chain Technology Adoption towards the Performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in Malaysia

Supply chain technology (SCT) is a tool to improve MSMEs' performance. Although SCT is widely utilised in various industries, its adoption by MSMEs is limited. Hence, this study aims to determine the relationship and develop the framework of technological, organisational, and environmental factors and MSME's performance using SCT adoption as a mediator. This study will employ the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) theories. Data will be collected through a questionnaire and analysed using (PLS-SEM). This study will provide significant information for MSMEs to further utilize the benefits of SCT adoption for improving organisational performance.

Writing behavior, strategies and styles National Defence University: a contrastive rhetoric study of three ethnic groups / Abdul Rahim Abdul Rahman

The thinking processes, verbalization and writing text could provide coherent and clear understanding on language, psychology and communication processes relationship within a diverse multicultural setting such as Malaysia. It started with Kaplan (1966) who introduced contrastive rhetoric concept in a seminal paper that studied hundreds of essays produced by his foreign students who are studying in the States universities and he introduced five doodles that represent five ethnic groups when communicating in English writing. In this study, in honoring the views proposed by Kaplan (1966) and Connors (1996), this study incorporated writingbehavior, writing strategies and writing styles as the centerfold of the ESL writing studyconducted at National Defence University, Malaysia. Three respondents that represent three main ethnic groups in Malaysia are selected as the writers of this study. The respondents’ ethnics groups are the Malay, Malaysian of Chinese Descendants and Malaysian of Indian Descendants.In order to analyze that different culture affected the English writing, Hayes (1996) writing model was selected as the conceptual framework in collecting the data of this study. With Hayes (1996), this research can be conducted by assigning respondents with collaborators that come from the same ethnic groups of which the model acknowledged. This concurs with the aim of this study that analyzes the differences between individuals who come from different ethnic background when writing English essay. The instruments used in understanding this study are Narrative Inquiry (NI) notes, Thinking Aloud Protocols (TAP) transcripts and the Text Produced So Far (TPSF) writing text. It was found that the individual differences emerged though1 generalization is not permitted. This study is successful in determining that there are differences in term of writing behavior, strategies and styles with the aid of the introduction of the contrastive rhetoric tree as the centerfold concept of this research. At the end, this study summarized that each individual in an ethnic groups is as ‘a tree in a forest’ and with that concept, the EL officers instructor and instructors in the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) would benefited the concept of ‘knowing the individual tree in a forest’ as opposed to ‘knowing the forest, you know the trees’ concept that as the preferred methodology in planning their English writing class
