The Prohibition of Riba and the alternative methods of home financing : a case study of Malaysian Muslim home buyersOthman, Shizatul Fazrina Binti January 2010 (has links)
The objective of the "The Probihition of Riba and the alternative methods of home financing: a case study of Malaysian Muslim home buyers" thesis is to analyze the Islamic home loan financing offered by banks and financial institutions in Malaysia and the characteristics of Malaysian home buyers and/or home owners towards the product. In the thesis, consideration has been given to economic, social and environmental parameters which selection and factors influencing have been ranked accordingly. This study uses quantitative study similar to what was employed in previous researches. A self-administered survey questionnaire to 320 respondents in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was held in October 2007 which 301 respondents returned the survey with a response rate of 89 percent. In this study, the results were presented from mean analysis, indepedent t-test, ANOVA and logistic regression analysis. The study presents interesting findings on Al-Bay Bithaman Ajil (BBA) concept of home loan financing to the alternative Musharakah Mutanaqisah (MM) home loan financing, which MM home loan financing has more benefit than BBA home loan financing. Currently, only BBA home loan financing has been widely used within bank and/or financial institutions in Malaysia. The study also indicated that despite of religion or race, every respondent has their own view provided they were given sufficient information and/or know of the Islamic home loan financing. The logit model developed in this study identified "education" and "sources of Islamic home loan financing" as having an influence on purchasing home behavior with "home cost" variable taken into account. Hitherto with Bumiputra privileges and certain pro-Bumiputra policies in Malaysia, Malays community has more opportunities than non-Malays community in buying homes due to Bumiputra Laws which have been established in the Malaysian New Economic Policy (NEP) since 1971. The NEP adopts the goal of poverty eradication and economic restructuring so as to eliminate the identification of ethnicity with economic function. Bumiputra privileges and quotas are based on Article 153 of the Constitution that provided special rights for the Malays. With all privileges given by the Government abovementioned, it may affect the socio-economic characteristics which influence to the decision to purchase a home. Nevertheless, regardless of ethnicity or religion, Islamic banks have greater social and moral responsibility to ensure that their principles of financing are fair to everyone. The Malaysian Islamic financial sector is seen as one of the most progressive and atrractive in the world given the numerous incentives planned and further liberation in the coming years. Malaysia has a comprehensive regulatory and supervisory framework that caters to the unique charactertics of Islamic finance with the strong financial standards, such as that corporate governance, transparency, disclosure, accountability, market discipline, risk management and customer protection. With these elements, new attractive schemes can be developed to meet Malaysian bank customers' needs. This study provides various views of Islamic home loan financing in Malaysia as an alternative to conventional home loan financing.

Roles and impacts of accounting and auditing organization for Islamic financial institutions (AAOIFI) in dealing with the accounting and disclosure of Zakah and Interest (Riba)Ahmad Nadzri, Farah Aida January 2009 (has links)
The issues of zakah and interest for IFIs have been highlighted for several years and attracted many arguments among Islamic scholars and public. The increasing public interest on the Islamic Banking since 1970s has been driven by the increasing sensitivity among Muslims to the relationship between religion and economic activities. With the emergence of IFIs, Muslims community has demanded for an establishment of an accounting body to develop a set of accounting standards that adhere to the Islamic tenets, hence AAOIFI was established. However, the journey of AAOFI in achieving such objective has not been smooth. This paper intended to study the effectiveness of AAOIFI in dealing with the issues of zakah and riba for IFIs by examining the disclosure practice of 25 IFIs worldwide. Based on the analysis conducted, it is concluded that the extents of disclosure by the IFIs are much lower than the AAOIFI requirements. The study also found that leverage and origin factors might contribute to the level disclosures of zakah and financial products. In addition, the test performed also revealed that the adopters of AAOIFI do provide more disclosure as compared to the non-adopters. However, the mean result is relatively low to suggest full compliance with the AAOIFI standards.

Integration of waste minimisation strategies into the design process of buildingsOsmani, Mohamed January 2015 (has links)
The construction industry is by far the greatest consumer of resources and waste producer of all industries in the UK; being responsible for 32% of total waste generation, which equates to three times the combined waste produced by all households. Consequently, construction waste management and minimisation became a priority in the EU and UK environmental policy programmes resulting in a combined plethora of government-driven waste related legislation and guidance documents to curb construction waste production. Similarly, an ever-increasing global research on construction waste has been conducted over the last decade ranging from ‘soft' onsite waste auditing tools and methodologies to ‘hard' material and recycling technologies. However, the current state-of-research is largely dominated by endeavours to manage waste that has already been produced. Very few studies have been undertaken on how architects could go about minimising waste through a change in design practices. Hence, this research set out to construct and validate a Designing out Waste (DoW) Framework to assist architects in embedding design waste reduction strategies in each design stage.

Integrating language literacy skills in teaching physical sciences in Riba Cross District, South AfricaMogofe, Romulus Asaph January 2016 (has links)
Thesis (M. A. (Education)) -- University of Limpopo, 2016 / Poor performance, by English Language Learners (ELLs), in Science examinations
remains a thorny issue in countries where English is not the home language.
Research around the world and the Department of Basic Education in South Africa
have long recommended the integration of Language Literacy skills in the teaching of
Physical Sciences in order to solve this issue. Despite that, learners’ poor
performance in Physical Sciences examinations has been found to be positively
related to low language literacy skills. The questions are: Do Physical Sciences
teachers integrate language literacy skills in teaching the subject?; If yes, to what
extent is the integration of language literacy skills practiced in Physical Sciences
classroom? In an attempt to answer the above questions, a quantitative survey was
carried out in Riba Cross District of Sekhukhune Region of Limpopo Province in
South Africa. 211 learners and five teachers from selected nine schools took part in
the study and questionnaires were used to collect data. Data were analysed using
descriptive and inferential statistics and the Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSS) version 22 was used. The results indicate that Language Literacy
skills are integrated into the teaching of Physical Sciences in Riba Cross District,
despite concerns raised by the teachers. The areas of concern include letting
learners to argue using evidences and writing reports. Furthermore, schools with
large classes have challenges in integrating Language Literacy Skills in the teaching
of Physical Sciences. Therefore, further studies are recommended which should
integrate both qualitative and quantitative approaches in school contexts.

The use of massively multiplayer online games to augment early-stage design process in constructionZhang, Christina Yan January 2012 (has links)
Traditional 2-D contour models, Physical Models, Computer-Aided Architectural Design (CAD), Virtual Reality models, Google SketchUp, and Building Information Modelling (BIM) have all greatly enhanced the design process by enabling designers to visualise buildings and the space within them prior to their construction. A recent development is Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) such as Second Life (SL). These offer users the opportunity to interact with other participants in real time, and so offer an excellent opportunity to experience the environment, layout and form of virtual buildings. However, the effectiveness of such applications to some extent depends upon how realistic the interactions of those using virtual spaces are in relation to interactions within the real world. This research examines the potential of this technology for enhancing and informing the early stage building design process. Initially, the tools currently used by architects at early stages of the RIBA Plan of Work were evaluated through interviewing architects. Then, the advantages of using MMOG over current tools at early-stage design were evaluated through interviews in SL. A virtual model was developed to examine how realistic the visualisation and interaction between end-users in an MMOG was. This was used to propose and validate guidance to incorporating MMOG into the early stages of the RIBA Plan of Work. It revealed that the virtual model created, the validated guidance and a successful example combining 2D sketches, Google SketchUp and MMOG at early-stage design can be used to guide architects to manage the complex decision making process in a simple, easy, cost-effective way, while effectively engaging both professional and non-professional stakeholders.

伊斯蘭銀行和一般銀行的比較研究:以甘比亞和英國為例 / Comparative Study on Islamic and Conventional Banks: Cases in The Gambia and United Kingdom杜荷萍, Drammeh, Habibatou Unknown Date (has links)
This research paper investigates the performance of Islamic and Conventional banks in The Gambia and United Kingdom for the periods 2008/2009 to 2012. Islamic banking is conceived by many as a recent phenomenon which in the last few decades attracted lots of attention and discussions. Islamic banking is a system of banking that is in consistent with Islamic law (Sharia). Islam does not allow the payment or acceptance of interest charges (Riba) in banking activities such as lending and depositing of money. Whiles Conventional banks deal with Interest, Islamic banks method of operation is strictly based on Sharia principles (profit, loss and risk sharing).
The objective of this study is to analyze and investigate the impact of the financial crisis on the performance of some Islamic and Conventional banks in The Gambia and United Kingdom. Financial ratios are used to measure Profitability, Liquidity and Financial Leverage of the banks. The empirical results of the analysis showed that the Islamic banks selected for the study generally fared better than their counterpart Conventional banks in terms of Liquidity and Financial Leverage during and after the financial crisis. Among other findings, the selected Conventional Banks in this study are found to be relatively more profitable than their peer Islamic banks from 2008/2009 to 2012.

Ekonominio augimo ciklai Lietuvoje / Economic growth cycles in lithuaniaBarakauskaitė-Jakubauskienė, Neringa 26 June 2014 (has links)
Šiuolaikinės ekonomikos augimo teorijos remiasi ekonomikai būdinga savybe - cikliškumu. Ekonominėje aplinkoje vykstantys svyravimai labai įvairūs – periodiški, nuolatiniai, trumpalaikiai, ilgalaikiai. Ekonominių svyravimų pokyčių visuma suformuoja ekonominio augimo ciklo realų vaizdą su jam būdindais bruožais, atspindinčiais pagrindinių makroekonominių rodiklių kitimo tendencijas nuo ekonominio bumo iki krizės, kurios sąlygoja daugelyje ekonominės veiklos rūšių stebimais aktyvumo kitimais. Kiekviena ekonominio augimo ciklo stadija – vienai pasibaigus, o kitai prasidėjus savaip įtakoja ir paveikia Pasaulio šalių, valstybių ekonomikas, socialinį bei politinį visuomenės gyvenimą, bei sukuria savo pasekmių ir priežasčių grandinę. Šiame magristriniame darbe tiriamas Lietuvos ekonominio augimo ciklas 1991-2009 m. laikotarpyje. Remiantis logistinės kapitalo valdymo teorijos (Girdzijauskas, S.) esminiais teiginiais tiriamas Lietuvos ekonominis augimo ciklas bei ekonominius svyravimus įtakojantys veiksniai, sąlygojantys ekonominio augimo ciklo pasikeitimo stadijas. Darbe atlikata logistinė Lietuvos BVP analizė 1991-2009 m.laikotarpyje, Lietuvos ekonominiam augimo ciklui įtaką darančių veiksnių koreliacinė regresinė analizė 1995-2009 m. laikotarpyje, bei Baltijos šalių makroekonominių rodiklių koreliacinė regresinė analizė. / Modern economic growth theories are mostly based on the typical feature of the economy- cycles in economy. Fluctuations in the economic environment are very miscellaneous - periodical, regular, short term and long term. Totality of economic fluctuations form the real picture of economic grow cycle with characteristic terms and features, which reflect the main macroeconomic trends from the economic boom till the crisis, which caused many economic activities in the observed variation in activity. Each stage of the of economic growth cycle (one end and the other start) influencing and affecting economies of world nations and countries, social and political life of society and create their own chain of causes and consequences. These conclusive thesis deals with Lithuanian economic growth cycles in period from 1991 till 2009. Lithuanian economic growth cycles and factors influencing economic fluctuations and stages of change in the economic growth cycle are analysed according to the key findings of logistic management of capital theory (Štreimikienė D., Girdzijauskas, S.). In this study was performed logistic analysis of Lithuania GDP in between 1991-2009, correlation regression analysis of the factors influenced Lithuanian economic growth cycle in 1995-2009 period, and correlation regression analysis of macroeconomic ratios of the Baltic countries.
