Export performance of Malaysian Telecommunication products: market prospect and challenges

This study tries to examine the export competitiveness of selected telecommunication products by using indicators like Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Constant Market Share (CMS)analysis and Shift-share method and these are used for identifying potential export markets. The selected four categories of telecommunication products are taken into account on the basis of three digit level Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) for the period between 2000 and 2011. The RCA calculation clearly indicates an increasing strength of comparative advantage of Malaysia, except for the products(SITC-763) and (SITC-764). This is mainly due to the negligible import for these products. The CMS results suggest that export gain s of Malaysia for telecommunication products are largely attributed to the size of the market and also to its competitiveness effects. The CMS analysis also depicts that the competitiveness effect of telecommunication products are subsequently improved in general during the period III and I (2008-11and 2000-03) as compared to those of the period I and II (2000-03and 2004-07) and period II and III (2004-07 and 2008-11).The shift-share indicates that the USA, UK, Netherlands, Switzerlands, Japan and Germany are biggest importing countries of Malaysian telecommunication products although major challenges are the asian countries here

Inhibition of pain during the rehabilitation of knee ligament injuries: an interpretive phenomenological analysis

Background: In the UK, on average, 1-1.5 million people per year use Accident and Emergency services as a result of injuries sustained during sporting participation (Boyce and Quigley, 2004, Emergency Medical Journal. 21, pp.704-706). Many of these admissions reveal long-term injuries requiring extensive rehabilitative work. Much research in the broader rehabilitation domain has emphasised a strong link between individual psychology and pain management during such processes. Indeed, it has been noted that as many as 80% of amputees still experience – and therefore have to manage - pain in limbs that are no longer neurologically attached to the body (Davidson et al., 2010. Disability and Rehabilitation, 32(22) pp.1855-1862). The bulk of pain-related literature in the specific area of sport rehabilitation, however, remains strongly anchored to physiological questions and solutions, with psychological investigations (and particularly qualitative variants thereof) in a distinct minority. Purpose: This paper, using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, reports qualitative findings on experiences of pain, strategies for pain management, and how these interact with an injury rehabilitation process among a purposive sample of five male amateur soccer players, aged 20-60 years old, from the North West of England. Results: Three superordinate themes were revealed. 1) “Rhythms of life”, encompassing the subordinate themes of routine, life’s demands and responsibilities and aging (both maturity and immaturity). 2) “Pain expression”; encompassing the subordinate themes of reflection and emotion, including regret and bravado characteristics. 3) “Pain control” encompassing the subordinate themes of learned experience, coping mechanisms for dealing with isolation, and self-distraction. Participants highlighted, during the recovery process, many nuanced difficulties in accepting and accommodating with their pain experiences, and corollary physical restrictions and limitations. It was suggested by some that they may have benefitted from being more supported psychologically, but it was also evident that greater maturity, life experience and responsibility, which might typically be associated with positive outcomes for the recovery experience, could actually hinder as well as help. Conclusion: It is proposed that this research answers some practice-focused questions and raises others regarding (a) the extent to which and (b) the manner in which pain might psychologically impact upon injury recovery, and for whom

Pengaruh Perbedaan Waktu Aplikasi Dan Konsentrasi Giberelin (Ga3) Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Hasil Tanaman Cabai Besar (Capsicum Annuum L.)

Upaya peningkatan produksi cabai besar dapat dilakukan salah satunya dengan pemberian zat pengatur tumbuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respon tanaman cabai besar terhadap perbedaan waktu aplikasi dan konsentrasi giberelin (GA3) serta untuk memperoleh waktu aplikasi dan konsentrasi giberelin (GA3) yang tepat bagi pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman cabai besar terutama dalam pengurangan jumlah biji.Penelitian dilaksa-nakan di Kebun Percobaan Jatikerto FP-UB, Desa Jatikerto, Kecamatan Kro-mengan, Kabupaten Malang pada bulan Mei – September 2013. Percobaan disusun menggunakan Rancangan Petak Terbagi (RPT) dengan 3 ulangan. Petak utama, waktu aplikasi GA3 terdiri dari 3 taraf, yaitu W1 : Aplikasi GA3 saat berbunga, W2 : Aplikasi GA3saat berbuah dan W3 : Aplikasi saat berbunga dan berbuah. Anak petak, konsentrasi GA3 terdiri dari 5 taraf, yaitu K0 : 0 ppm, K1 : 25 ppm, K2 : 50 ppm, K3 : 75 ppm, dan K4 : 100 ppm.Aplikasi GA3 pada saat berbunga maupun saat berbuah tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang nyata seiring dengan penambahan konsentrasi GA3 yang diberikan.Aplikasi GA3 pada saat berbunga dan berbuah dengan konsentrasi 100 ppm menunjukkan persentase fruit set lebih tinggi dibanding-kan perlakuan kontrol. Waktu aplikasi GA3 pada saat awal berbuah dapat meningkatkan jumlah bunga dan panjang buah. Konsentrasi GA3 50 ppm maupun 100 ppm meningkatkan tinggi tanaman cabai. Aplikasi GA3 menurunkan bobot per buah, panjang buah, dan jumlah biji per buah
