Az inulin szerepe és jelentősége a gazdasági haszonállatok takarmányozásában
Authors: Tóth Szandra , Kovács Melinda , Fébel Hedvig
Published: August 2020

Az 1831/2003/EK európai parlamenti és tanácsi rendelet antibiotikum használatot korlátozó előírásai fokozták a prevenciós megoldások iránti igényt az állati takarmányozásban. Az inulin pozitív étrendi hatásáról az 1900-as évek eleje óta vannak feljegyzések. Bár a mai irodalom sok esetben eltérő eredményt ad a cikória kivonat teljesítménynövelő képességéről, szervezetre gyakorolt hatása nem hagyható figyelmen kívül. Az inulin befolyásolja a bél mikrobiom összetételét. A fokozott mikrobiális emésztés hatására nő az illózsírsav koncentráció és csökken a pH a béltartalomban, ami gátolja a patogének elszaporodását az emésztőtraktusban. Hatással van a bél morfológiájára, a szervezet immunrendszerére, klinikai kémiai paramétereire. A mérhető változások függnek az inulin szerkezetétől, az állat fajától, életkorától, egészségügyi állapotától és táplálóanyag ellátottságától. Malacokon végzett megfigyelések bizonyos dózis fölött a takarmányértékesítés és a nitrogén anyagforgalom hatásfokának csökkenéséről számoltak be. A tudományos eredmények tükrében az inulin gyakorlati szerepe megalapozott, mint az egészségi állapotot javító takarmány kiegészítő, azonban a felső határértékek és a hatékonyan működő fruktán szerkezetének pontos vizsgálata még további feladat a tudomány számára.

The experiment was started with 1,508 Rhode Island Red (RIR) and 1,820 Rhode Island White (RIW) type non-beak-trimmed day-old pullets, which were originated from 58 RIR and 70 RIW different pedigree cocks, respectively. From all of the 128 cocks 26 half sibling offspring were tested. The pure line pullets were raised up to 18 weeks of age in a closed building, in deep litter pens and moved to the laying house and placed into three types of keeping systems [furnished cage, alternative pen (litter and floor) and conventional cage] thereafter. The number of dead birds and the cause of mortality were recorded daily during the whole rearing and egg-laying period, up to 72 weeks of age. During the rearing period the most frequent cause of mortality was wasting, which accounted for nearly 36% of the total mortality. Aggression was responsible for 28.3% of the total mortality. Depending on the type of the pullets (RIR or RIW), differences were observed in the frequency of occurrence of mortality causes. For example, oedema and beak deformation occurred only in the RIR, whereas technological injury and aggression only in the RIW pullets during the rearing period. During the egg-laying period aggression was the most common cause of mortality. Its lowest occurrence was observed in the alternative pens. In both of the examined types there were found cocks, whose offspring died exclusively by aggression, and cocks, whose offspring did not show any loss due to aggression. The ratio of these cocks differed significantly (P<0.05) between the two types examined. Based on the results it was established that the genetic background has significant effect on the mortality caused by aggression in non-beak-trimmed laying hens.

Indonesia has signed a trade agreement with Australia and hoped that this agreement can benefit both parties in facing global free trade. Indonesia is not Australia's main trading partner currently and Indonesia's exports to Australia tend to decline in recent years. Indonesia can take advantage of Australia's export market which is experiencing an increase in the value of exports which has risen faster than import prices which has affected the growth of the Australian economy. Indonesia can utilize the export market, especially markets that have trade agreements with Indonesia in order to indirectly increase Indonesian exports by utilizing the issuance of Certificates of Origin from Indonesia as partners of producers of Australian export products. The abundance of natural resources and labor in Indonesia is expected to attract the interest of Australia to invest in Indonesia to build an industry that aims to produce goods for the needs of the country's export market demand and for Indonesia to increase the entry of foreign direct investment to Indonesia.

Published: August 2020

The aim of this paper is to present a picture of return to education in Malaysia over the period from 1984 to 1997 based on earning equations model. The paper employed a set of data comprising micro-level data from the Household Income Survey (HIS) for several years during the period 1984 to 1997. The main finding of this paper is the changes in the wage differentials favouring the middle level of education (secondary level of education) workers.  In general, the results show that the return for each level of qualification declined between 1984 and 1997, especially at the higher levels (diploma and degree). Interestingly, the return to education for females at low levels of education is higher than the return by males. However, at higher levels of qualification, especially for those with secondary and high school qualifications, males traditionally have a higher return compared to females workers.  The results also indicated a significant gender differential, however the differences has fallen over time.

Human Resource Retention Practices From The Faculty’s Perspective: Case for a Private University In Bangladesh
Authors: Mohammad A. Ashraf , Joarder Mohd. H. R.
Published: August 2020

Human resources and personnel management is one of the burning issues today. Employee retention is thus being considered as one of the core challenges faced by many organisations especially in the private sector of the economy. In this research, a conceptual model was developed and applied in the context of the faculty retention policy of a private university in Bangladesh. The study was conducted in 2008 by collecting 54 data which were employed primarily to evaluate the current human capital retention practices of the university from the faculties’ point of view. The research identified the core elements of human resource practices, which strongly influence the decision of faculty members to remain in the organisation. Several statistical analytical techniques such as Factor Analysis, Multiple Regression Analysis, ANOVA, and correlation analyses have been used to measure the level of incentives of the faculties rendered by the concerned university. The result showed that university culture and policies, work environment, teamwork relationship, and challenging opportunities are significantly related with the faculty retention policies practised by the university.
The Global Crisis, Trade, and the Malaysian Economy
Authors: Nambiar Shankaran
Published: August 2020

The importance of trade to the Malaysian economy cannot have been more strongly expressed than through the recent global crisis. Malaysia was vulnerable being a small open economy that has an export-dependent manufacturing sector. The very countries that generate the demand for Malaysia’s exports were struck by the crisis. As can be expected, Malaysia’s exports plummeted. The impacts of the crisis, consequently, caused reduced activity in the manufacturing sector and resulted in a sharp contraction in output. The crisis demands that policy makers take the challenge of strengthening the export sector more seriously.

Published: August 2020

Dengan menggunakan data HIS2000 dan pengiraan beberapa indeks kemiskinan dan agihan pendapatan (positif dan normatif), kertas kajian ini menganalisis isu kemiskinan dan jurang pendapatan mengikut kaum dan wilayah dalam negeri Perak. Kajian ini mendapati kemiskinan di negeri ini berdimensikan kaum dan wilayah apabila isi rumah Melayu adalah yang paling ramai miskin dengan jurang pendapatan di antara kaum ini dengan kaum-kaum lain jelas ketara. Selain itu, kemiskinan negeri ini juga bercirikan luar bandar dengan jurang pendapatan antara bandar dengan luar-bandar juga jelas ketara. Bagi memperbaiki ketidakseimbangan ini, kertas ini mencadangkan agar kaum yang terkebelakang ekonominya diberikan peluang yang lebih baik bergiat dalam sektor pembuatan dan perkhidmatan dan begitu juga, kawasan luar bandar perlu ditingkatkan prasarana ekonominya. Kedua-dua cadangan ini boleh diselaraskan dalam satu strategi pembangunan yang sedia ada dalam peringkat negeri dan persekutuan (NCER).   Kata kunci: Ukuran kemiskinan positif dan normatif, pencerakinan agihan pendapatan, nisbah jurang pendapatan dan ukuran kebajikan.

Authors: Mohd Salleh Norlida Hanim , Othman Redzuan , Jaafar Abdul Hamid
Published: August 2020

Peningkatan perbelanjaan pelancong akan membawa kesan kepada meningkatnya permintaan akhir barangan dan perkhidmatan negara yang dilawati. Keadaan ini mempengaruhi atau memberi kesan kepada peningkatan tingkat keluaran dan pendapatan, serta kutipan cukai kerajaan daripada sektor tersebut. Sesetengah keperluan pelancong merupakan barang akhir atau barangan yang menggunakan asas input yang diimport. Ini bermakna perbelanjaan mereka juga merangsang peningkatan import. Kajian ini membincangkan secara konseptual dan disusuli secara praktikal bagi menganggarkan impak sebenar yang terhasil daripada perbelanjaan pelancong. Bagi tujuan tersebut kaedah Input-Output (I-O) akan digunakan. Untuk menggunakan kaedah ini, Jadual I-O yang dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia yang merujuk kepada I-O 2000 telah diagregatkan mengikut kesesuaian kajian. Hasil kajian mendapati beberapa subsector pelancongan seperti hotel dan restoran, borong dan runcit, pengangkutan serta sektor pembuatan yang bukan merupakan subsektor pelancongan adalah antara sektor utama penjana ekonomi keseluruhan. Nilai pengganda bagi keluaran, pendapatan dan kutipan cukai kerajaan yang dicatatkan berada pada kadar yang memberangsangkan (10–50 peratus). Sungguhpun perbelanjaan pelancongan secara keseluruhan menyebabkan import barang dan perkhidmatan dari luar negara meningkat, namum peningkatan import adalah sekitar 20 peratus sahaja. Hasil kerja ini dapat dijadikan panduan dalam membina polisi pelancongan serta membantu pelajar lebih memahami keterkaitan yang wujud dalam sebuah sistem ekonomi.   Kata Kunci: Pelancongan Malaysia, impak ekonomi, pengganda, analisis Input-Output.

Keputusan ujian statistik ini menunjukkan bahawa sikap positif terhadap wang di kalangan pekerja yang mempunyai kepuasan kerja intrinsic berupaya menghalang hasrat mereka untuk berhenti kerja secara sukarela. Manakala, sikap positif terhadap wang di kalangan pekerja yang mempunyai kepuasan kerja ekstrinsik tidak berupaya menghalang hasrat mereka untuk berhenti kerja secara sukarela. Dapatan kajian mengesahkan bahawa sikap terhadap wang hanya bertindak sebagai pemboleh ubah penyederhana separa dalam model kepuasan kerja dalam organisasi kajian. Selanjutnya, perbincangan dan implikasi kajian turut dihuraikan.   Kata kunci: Kepuasan kerja, sikap terhadap wang, keinginan untuk berhenti kerja secara sukarela.

Published: August 2020

This research attempts to examine the relationships between service quality, switching barriers and brand image and customer loyalty in the Universiti Utara Malaysia sector. Based on the theoretical model, a comprehensive set of hypotheses were formulated and a methodology for testing them was outlined. These hypotheses were tested empirically by means of questionnaires to demonstrate the applicability of the theoretical model. The results indicate that service quality, switching barriers, and brand image are separate constructs that combine to determine loyalty, with service quality and switching barriers exerting a stronger influence than brand image. Hypotheses H1, H2 were supported, while hypothesis H3 was rejected.   Keywords: Customer loyalty, brand image, switching barriers, service quality.
Effects of Cooking Oil Subsidy Removals on Related Markets in Malaysia: A Comparative Static, Multicommodity, Multi Stage Production Approach
Authors: Othman Jamal , Jafari Yaghoob
Published: August 2020

Malaysia is contemplating removal of most of her subsidy support measures including subsidies on cooking oil which is largely palm oil based. This paper aims to examine the effects of cooking oil subsidy removals on the competitiveness of the oil palm subsector and related markets. This is done by developing and applying a comparative static, multi-commodity, partial equilibrium model with multi-stages of production function for the Malaysian perennial crops subsector which explicitly links different stages of production, primary and intermediate input markets, trade, and policy linkages. Results partly suggest that export of cooking oil will increase by 0.2 per cent due to a 10 per cent cooking oil subsidy reduction, while domestic output of cooking oil may eventually see a net decline of 1.97 per cent. The results clearly point out that the effect of reducing cooking oil subsidies is relatively small at the upstream levels and therefore it only induces minute effects on factor markets. Consequently, the market for other agricultural crops is projected to change very marginally.   Keywords: Multicomodity, comparative statics, partial equilibrium model, output supply-factor markets linkages, effects of cooking oil subsidy removals.

Authors: Ali Khan Mohd Noor Azli , Ismail Noor Azizi
Published: August 2020

Makalah ini mengulas sorotan literatur berkaitan penyelidikan pelaporan kewangan menerusi Internet (PKMI). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan terma, dimensi dan penklasifi kasian berkaitan PKMI tidak konsisten dalam kalangan penyelidik. Perbezaan ini menyumbang kepada perbezaan dapatan kajian dan seterusnya gagal menerangkan dengan jelas faktor penentu yang mempengaruhi PKMI. Penelitian terhadap kajian PKMI turut mendapati sedikit sahaja kajian yang memberi fokus kepada pembinaan indeks pelaporan bagi menerangkan tahap PKMI. Pengajaran yang dapat dicungkil daripada perbincangan dan ulasan tersebut ialah perlunya satu kajian yang lebih komprehensif bagi membincangkan isu berkaitan PKMI.   Kata kunci: Terma, dimensi, faktor penentu dan pelaporan kewangan menerusi Internet.

Work and Family: The Perception of Balance Among Female Teachers in Northern Malaysia
Authors: Aziz Azelin , Chang Artemis
Published: August 2020

Women’s participation in paid employment has become a common scenario even in non-western developing countries. For example in Malaysia, the trend is growing although the traditional gender role remains strong in Malaysian society. Even though working, women are still expected to assume major responsibilities at home. Thus, as opposed to men, women in this society face the challenge to satisfactorily balance work and family. This study was carried out to explore how Malaysian women perceive the meaning of a balanced work-family life. Sampling women teachers, the interview findings revealed that work-family balance was mainly perceived in terms of an individual’s ‘ability to fulfill role obligation’ appropriately in both the work and family domains. A few participants also viewed balance in the context of role satisfaction and role interference. Overall, the results support the assumption in the literature that perceptions of work-family experience are not universal, rather, the construct of work-family balance is culture-specific.   Keywords: Work-family interface, cross-culture, role demands.
Roles of Job Satisfaction in Ensuring Quality of Working Life
Authors: Rosli Rozaini , Ab. Wahab Norailis
Published: August 2020

At present many companies around the world are struggling to meet the challenges presented by the organization’s global trends. The workforce has been continuously reminded of the competitiveness and increasing productivity in ensuring better working life. Not forgetting to balance the routines, job satisfaction needs also to be deliberated in any organization. In the current business scenario, the workforce in Malaysia has often been called to acquire core competencies and maintain their competitiveness in a liberalized and globalized market. Further, with the implementation of various policies pertinent to employment including the retirement age and minimum wages, the workplace is no more a pleasant place. Workers need to be more innovative, creative and talented to sustain employment. For such reasons, this paper attempts to examine the relationship between organizational support and job satisfaction in the insurance industry. The results showed that satisfaction with the job (M = 3.68); successful people, directed or influenced by its own commitment to achieve organizational goals (M = 3.55); know and understand the policies and processes to do their job better (M = 3.54). This result is important in that it clearly shows that the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational support are intertwined and closely related to organization performance. This paper proposed a practical model that helps management or decision-makers to highlight the most influential factors that influence the quality of employees’ working life in their organizations.   Keywords: Job satisfaction, quality of working life, insurance industry.
The Effect of Muslim Products as an Islamic Retail Store Attribute: A Study on Muslim Consumer Patronage Behaviour in Malaysia
Authors: Mohd Fauzi Waida Irani , Mohd Mokhtar Sany Sanuri , Yusoff Rushami Zien
Published: August 2020

As Malaysian Muslim consumers are more concerned about religious teachings, the doubt about the halalalness of the ingredients, processing and handling of the products has attracted Muslim consumers’ attention. Recently, Muslims are not only concerned about halal but the issue of “halalal tayibbah” has obtained great attention. In order to verify the “halalal tayibbah” concept, the acceptance of Muslim-made products is increasing in the market. With the spirit of helping the economy of the ummah, Muslim consumers tend to give their support to Muslim products. With a high demand for Muslim products, an initiative to introduce an Islamic-focused retail store has shown significant growth. Essentially, the store will provide a range of Muslim products as a substitute for previous brands. With regard to this phenomenon, the present study investigates the effect of Muslim products in an Islamic retail store on Muslim consumer-patronage behaviour. In order to get feedback, self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 384 patrons of Islamic retail stores in the northern region of Malaysia. The result of the partial least square analysis concluded that the provision of Muslim products has a significant impact on the patronage-behaviour of Muslim consumers. By buying Muslim products, Muslim consumers feel more confident that they are buying products that are religiously allowable and it prompts Muslim consumers’ buying-decisions in patronizing a store.   Keywords: Muslim product. Muslim and patronage behaviour.
