The permanent nature of waqf results in the accumulation of waqf properties that are devoted to provide capital asset that produce a flow of revenues to serve its objectives. In Malaysia, tremendous potential waqf property (land) is available that could generate a steady stream of income and contribute to the development of Muslim’s economy if it has been managed and invested properly. However, most of that are not given proper attention, resulting in a vast amount of these properties do not yield their greatest benefits to the economy and society. One of the major reasons highlighted by most of State Islamic Religious Councils (SIRCs) in Malaysia was due to insufficient fund and professional to develop those properties. Responding to this issue, corporate waqf model is seen to be the best instrument to develop waqf properties in Malaysia. Thus the study is attempts to discuss on the establishment of corporate waqf model in the in Malaysia which looking at three (3) particular states which are: Federal Territory, Selangor and Johor. The study is using a content analysis method where the selected established model will be analyzed and a comparative analysis also took place in the research method. Then the finding from an analysis also concludes that all established corporate waqf model in Malaysia shown a positive impact towards the development of economy and society however there is still a few elements to be improved which includes the concept, structure, outcome and output from the project developmental process in order to ensure the corporate waqf model will positively contribute to the economy and society.

A survey methodology was used to execute the study as well as a field method to collect data. Data collection tool was communicational skills, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction inventory. Formal validity and content validity of questionnaires were obtained by college professors and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, respectively, and reliability obtained by Cronbach’s alpha was >0.90. To analyze data considering conceptual model, the study used path analysis test, Pearson, measurement model and structural equation modeling. KMO index and Bartlett test were used to measure model fitness (KMO>0.6; P<0.001; in three inventories). Finally, the model was fitted to data in two parts, measurement model and structural model. The results by 99% confidence indicate that there is a significant relationship between communicational skills (feedback, verbal, listening) and organizational commitment and job satisfaction of educators; as well, job satisfaction is a factor to explain organizational commitment.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare corporate culture differences between Taiwan and Vietnam. The concept of corporate culture is adopted from Trompenaars and Turner’s four types of corporate culture. Trompenaars and Turner (2012) categorized corporate culture into four main types: the Family, the Eiffel Tower, the Guided Missile and the Incubator. The ANOVA approach is employed to describe and analyze the collected data. A total of 477 employees from public and private corporate sectors in Taiwan and Vietnam participated in this study. Out of 477 respondents 246 are Taiwanese and 231 are Vietnamese. The competing value framework (CVF) (Cameron & Quinn, 2006) is the main reference for developing the questionnaire. The results of the study show that there are significant differences in corporate cultures between Taiwan and Vietnam on three out of four aspects of corporate culture introduced in this study.

This study is about opportunities for the use of outdoor classrooms in tropical climates, such as Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. It investigates the possible advantages of teaching and learning school subjects at primary level, in outdoor classrooms in Malaysia, using the outdoor environment to improve student comfort levels and to provide enhanced learning opportunities. Such as the implementation of Problem Based Learning (PBL) Preliminary investigations of hypothetical post occupancy evaluations and thermal comfort studies have shown positive results for outdoor classrooms in ‘heat island’ urban areas such as Kuala Lumpur. The paper also considers the economic benefits of reduced building costs. This paper reports on the ongoing research towards possible improvements to the ‘indoor exam orientated’ school system in tropical countries like Malaysia.

Nowadays we face a technological revolution, modern age, technology age, data collection, processing and distribution of data and computer. World of computer in short time had observed lots of innovations and developments. On the other hand, it changed to a field of committing crimes. Crime can be committed in any environment and any condition. Since it’s not easily possible to recognize identity of people on the internet, it’s not hard for computer specialists to commit computer crimes such as violating private information, illegal wiretapping, internet espionage, theft and fraud and any crime and violation of law can be committed on this space. This article, apart from referring to the concept of security as a natural right and need, is going to analyze internet crimes based on jurisprudence and Islamic point of view. Then, crimes such as desecration, insult to Muslims, and illegal search will be analyzed.

This paper aims to explore the family boundary in East Asian Countries. Most Asian countries are regarded as one of the Confucian countries even though each country has its own historical and cultural background. Thus, little is known how people in different Asian countries perceive their family boundaries. This study is an attempt to compare the perception on the family using Asian Family Index data in three East Asian countries, China, Japan and Korea.We have examined the family perception of people in three East Asian countries and found substantial differences among three countries. First, in terms of family membership boundary, Chinese showed widest and paternally extended family perception. People in Korea included almost equal numbers in family with China, but their family perception developed bilaterally. In contrast with two countries, People in Japan perceived only blood tied, intimate relations as a family member. In addition, the family perception did not show substantial difference between the genders in Japan as well as China, but South Korea showed difference between males and females. Males perceived family boundary much more widely than females. This phenomenon implies that women have greater family burden than men in Korea. Considering the heterogeneity in family perceptions in three East Asian countries, this paper tries to explain how social institutions interact with individuals and give impacts on their family perception. Finally, this paper concludes that it is inappropriate to tie the three East Asian countries as ‘Confucian civilizations’ in terms of family perception.

Use the method of Human Impact Assessment (HIA) for coastal local municipalities allows evaluating the nature-ecological state / environmental situation of coastal local municipality, estimate the marine and harbor activity influence on the environment, given an opportunity to show the hierarchy of municipalities and determining the HIA, vulnerability and its opportunity for future development. In the paper the indicator method of HIA estimation for coastal local municipalities and its main assumptions are formulated, including the task of controlling and forecast of the pollution level of the coastal local municipalities. Due to the HIA analysis the list of factors of estimation of the nature-ecological state / environmental situation of coastal local municipality was obtained. For each selected factor the method of indicator value calculation, as well as the calculation of value of the integrative indicator of the nature-ecological state for coastal local municipality (or HIA estimation value for coastal local municipalities) as average of indicators, is proposed. Application of the method is considered for coastal local municipalities of the Eastern Gulf of Finland. Based on the indicators and integrative indicator values recommendations to reduction of human impact as well as marine and harbor activity influence, for controlling and forecast of the pollution level for coastal local municipalities are made.

Global warming issue generated by greenhouse gases (GHG, majorly CH4 and CO2) from various sources (fossil fuel burning, landfill, and power generation) has urged researchers to search for sustainable solutions to attenuate or suppress these emissions. Dry reforming of methane process utilizes these two major greenhouse gases, however, the process hampered by carbon deposition. This study focuses on the preparation of Ni nanoparticle and support Ni/MgO catalysts by microemulsion assisted synthesis. The study of different synthesis parameters depicted that higher surface area and smaller Ni nanoparticles will be obtained at lower water content due to their small microemuslion droplet size. The addition of MgO support to the microemulsion system leads to the drastic reduction in particles size and provides protective shell as depicted by TEM analysis. XRD analysis for pure NiO, MgO and NiO/MgO reveals the formation of a mild type of NiO-MgO solid solution formation. H2-TPR results indicate the lower reduction of NiO/MgO catalysts due to the lower free NiO available compared to pure NiO catalysts. Higher catalytic activity of supported catalysts was dedicated to its higher surface, smaller particle size and a strong metal-support interaction compared to Ni nanoparticles.
