Record 2 of 36Author(s): Wolffers, I; Fernandez, I; Verghis, S; Vink, MTitle: Sexual behaviour and vulnerability of migrant workers for HIV infectionSource: CULTURE HEALTH & SEXUALITY, 4 (4): 459-473 OCT-DEC 2002Language: EnglishDocument Type: ArticleAbstract: This paper presents findings from qualitative research carried out by the CARAM SoutheastAsia Research Network in the period 1997-1999. In several countries in Asia, interviews and focus groupdiscussions were held with migrant workers about their working conditions, access to health care, andfactors affecting Vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Factors that have an impact on migrants' sexual behaviourinclude the country of destination and the availability of a commercial sex sector. Cultural differences withrespect to sexual behaviour are also important. As social control in migrant communities is often limited,sexual relationships that are prohibited at home are often possible abroad. Besides continuing to belong

to their home communities, migrants gradually adapt to their new communities abroad. In so doing, theyadopt a so-called 'migrant identity' which can lead to a denial of certain (sexual) behaviours. This canmake them difficult to reach by means of conventional HIV/AIDS prevention approaches.Addresses: Free Univ Amsterdam, Dept Hlth Care & Culture, Ctr Med, NL-1081 BT Amsterdam,Netherlands; Vrije Univ Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Coordinat Act Res AIDS & Mobil, KualaLumpur, MalaysiaReprint Address: Wolffers, I, Free Univ Amsterdam, Dept Hlth Care & Culture, Ctr Med, Van derBoechorststr 7, NL-1081 BT Amsterdam, Netherlands.Cited Reference Count: 24Times Cited: 18Publisher: TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTDPublisher Address: 4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLANDISSN: 1369-1058DOI: 10.1080/1369102011014335629-char Source Abbrev.: CULT HEALTH SEXISO Source Abbrev.: Cult.

Record 6 of 36Author(s): Cragg, P; King, M; Hussin, HTitle: IT alignment and firm performance in small manufacturing firmsSource: JOURNAL OF STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS, 11 (2): 109-132 JUN 2002Language: EnglishDocument Type: ArticleAuthor Keywords: alignment; small firms; strategy; matching; moderation; IT strategy; survey researchKeyWords Plus: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OBJECTIVES; SMALL BUSINESSES; SYSTEMS;ENTERPRISES; MANAGEMENT; COMPANIES; FITAbstract: The concept of IT alignment has been discussed in the literature, but almost always in thecontext of large firms. Similarly, attempts to measure alignment and relate it to performance have beenmade, but primarily based on work in larger firms. This study focused on measuring the alignment ofbusiness strategy and IT strategy (ITS) among small UK manufacturing firms and then investigated thelink between alignment and performance. The method built on prior studies, developing approaches toalignment used with larger firms and integrating other concepts and measures from the small firmliterature. Using a mail questionnaire, data from 250 firms was collected on nine strategy areas so thatbusiness and ITS responses could be compared. IT alignment was explored using both the matching andmoderation approaches. The moderation approach appeared more effective in identifying IT alignment.The results indicated that a significant proportion of small firms had achieved high IT alignment.Furthermore, the group of small firms with high IT alignment had achieved better organisationalperformance than firms with low IT alignment. This is consistent with findings in large firms and opens uppossibilities for further study of IT alignment in small firms. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

The analysis is based on an integerprogram that seeks to minimize total costs related to moving empty containers, subject to meetingrequirements for moving loaded containers. A case study of potential container-on-barge operationswithin the Mississippi River basin illustrates the effects of planning horizon length on mode selection. Alonger planning horizon can encourage the use of inexpensive, slow transportation modes, such asbarge. The impact depends on the number and location of container storage pools.

Record 8 of 36Author(s): Baharumshah, AZ; Masih, AMM; Azali, MTitle: The stock market and the ringgit exchange rate: a noteSource: JAPAN AND THE WORLD ECONOMY, 14 (4): 471-486 DEC 2002Language: EnglishDocument Type: ArticleAuthor Keywords: exchange rates; equity market; augmented monetary model; cointegrationKeyWords Plus: LONG-RUN EQUILIBRIUM; AUTOREGRESSIVE TIME-SERIES; MONETARYAPPROACH; COINTEGRATION VECTORS; CO-INTEGRATION; RATE MODEL; UNIT-ROOT; MONEY;DEMAND; STATISTICSAbstract: This paper presents and tests an augmented monetary model that includes the effect of stockprices on the bilateral exchange rates. The model is applied to the ringgit/US dollar (RM/US) andringgit/Japanese yen (RM/JY) exchange rates. The empirical analysis is conducted by the Johansenmethod of cointegration. Using the data from the recent float that ends with 1996:Q4, the study ismotivated, among others, by an interesting preliminary finding that although the augmented monetary

6

model is cointegrated, it is subject to parameter instability and that the parameter time dependency canbe attributed at least partly to a particular subset of the variables in the system including stock prices. Wefind that a restricted VAR model which imposes exogeneity restrictions on l(l) variables, such as stockprices, among others, exhibits both cointegration and parameter stability. In addition, we demonstrate thatexchange rate adjusts to clear any disequilibrium in the long-run relationship. The empirical findings tendto suggest that the equity market is significant in affecting the exchange rate and in explaining at least inpart the parameter instability evidenced in the cointegrating system. Hence, we conclude that models ofequilibrium exchange rate should be extended to include equity markets in addition to bond markets. (C)2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Record 9 of 36Author(s): Omar, I; Yusof, AMTitle: Indigenous land rights and dynamics of the land market in Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaSource: HABITAT INTERNATIONAL, 26 (4): 507-521 DEC 2002Language: EnglishDocument Type: ArticleAuthor Keywords: indigenous land rights; urban redevelopment; dynamics of property markets; KualaLumpurAbstract: This paper raises a number of important issues relating to legal and economic developmentconcepts. It concentrates on the supply constraints affecting land development decisions of both privateand public landowners in releasing land for development purposes. With reference to the indigenous landrights in Kuala Lumpur. this paper focuses on the restrictions in interest, which may limit the land frombeing transferred in the open market. With a limited market. the indigenous land achieves a lower value inthe market place because transactions are limited within a particular group of people only. As a result, themarket forces are restricted and the land development process for urban regeneration often comes to ahalt. In examining the role of the indigenous land market in the redevelopment process of Kuala Lumpur,the study uses an institutional analysis to show the way, in which these restrictions in interest affectlandowners' decisions and, thus, restrict the supply of land to real estate redevelopment. In conclusion,the paper shows various causes for land supply constraints and ways to improve these with the aim toundertake urban redevelopment initiatives considering pressure for more land in the market.

Title: Practices, attitudes and motives for domestic waste recyclingSource: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND WORLD ECOLOGY, 9(3): 232-238 SEP 2002Language: EnglishDocument Type: ArticleAuthor Keywords: domestic recycling; solid waste management; attitude; motivational factorsKeyWords Plus: PREDICTORS; BEHAVIORS; PROGRAMAbstract: Solid household waste management in Malaysia has reached a critical stage. Increasingpopulation, urbanization and changing patterns of lifestyle have instigated the phenomenon. The 15 000tonnes of garbage produced daily are thrown into 230 landfills nationwide, where 80% of them have onlytwo years of life span left. Although recycling programmes were launched as early as 1990, only 5% ofthe wastes are recycled. The purpose of the present research was to ascertain the current managementof household solid waste, attitude and motivational factors towards recycling. Data were collected usinginterview survey on 150 households in an urban residential area. The findings demonstrated that therespondents had very low awareness and knowledge regarding local domestic waste management.Separation of organic and non-organic wastes was rarely practised by 76% of the respondents. Mostwaste was thrown away, except for newspaper and aluminium cans which were regularly recycled, whilefurniture, and electrical items were reused by giving away or trading-in. The attitude of the respondentstowards recycling was modest. Of the five motivational factors, intrinsic satisfaction and individualcommitment were more important reasons for recycling than convenience, economic motivation andsocietal commitment. The results of the study indicated that, in order to overcome the solid waste crisis,the conscience of the individual needs to be raised through environmental awareness and concern,inculcation of sustainable consumption practices and education on waste management.Addresses: Univ Putra Malaysia, Fac Human Ecol, Dept Chem & Environm Engn, Serdang 43400,Selangor, Malaysia; Univ Putra Malaysia, Dept Resource Management & Consumer Studies, Serdang43400, Selangor, MalaysiaReprint Address: Aini, MS, Univ Putra Malaysia, Fac Human Ecol, Dept Chem & Environm Engn,Serdang 43400, Selangor, Malaysia.Cited Reference Count: 27Times Cited: 2Publisher: PARTHENON PUBLISHING GROUPPublisher Address: RICHMOND HOUSE, WHITE CROSS, SOUTH ROAD, LANCASTER LA1 4XQ,ENGLANDISSN: 1350-450929-char Source Abbrev.: INT J SUSTAIN DEV WORLD ECOLISO Source Abbrev.: Int.

It isassociated with poor farmers, small farm systems, the landless, resource endowments, thesocioeconomic environment and externalities, Over 75% of the poor live and work in rural areas, trappedin a poverty-adaptation-fragile lives-little hope-low life expectancy complex, with an enduring hope forself-reliance and a more comfortable life tomorrow. Since agricultural growth is central to improvedlivelihoods, strategies that focus on promoting such growth are critical: improved efficiency in naturalresource management (NRM), of which animals are a part, can directly contribute to productivityenhancement and reduced poverty. It is estimated that approximately 678 million of the rural poor keepanimals, within which the largest ownership of animals is seen in mixed crop-animal systems. The roleand contribution of animals is discussed with reference to household benefits - current, medium-term andlong-term savings, increased productivity of mixed farm systems, sustainability of agricultural systemsand the environment, and enhancement of social stability. Mile large ruminants (buffalo and cattle) arevery valuable for agriculture and farm security, milk and beef, ploughing and dung production, smallanimals (goats, sheep, chickens, pigs and ducks) are particularly important for nutritional and householdsecurity. The link between gender and animals is emphasized, especially the implications of the verystrong relationship between women and children and small animals. This paper describes in detailcharacteristics of poor farmers and small farm systems. It discusses opportunities for NRM, and presentsexamples of data from different categories of animals and the extent of their contribution to total farmincome, which in Asia ranges from 7-69%. It is concluded that improved animal production systems canincreasingly make a significant contribution to improved human welfare, rural growth and reduced

10

poverty. To achieve this, however, much more investment in agricultural research and development isnecessary that can target less-favoured rainfed areas, coupled with participatory and interdisciplinaryapproaches, effective public-private sector partnerships, and commitment to purpose.Addresses: Kasetsart Univ, Bangkok 10900, Thailand; Int Livestock Res Inst, Nairobi, KenyaReprint Address: Devendra, C, 130A Jalan Awan Jawa, Kuala Lumpur 58200, Malaysia.Cited Reference Count: 56Times Cited: 8Publisher: I P PUBLISHING LTDPublisher Address: COLERIDGE HOUSE, 4-5 COLERIDGE GARDENS, LONDON NW6 3QH,ENGLANDISSN: 0030-727029-char Source Abbrev.: OUTLOOK AGRISO Source Abbrev.: Outlook Agric.Source Item Page Count: 15Subject Category: Agriculture, MultidisciplinaryISI Document Delivery No.: 595ZP

Theauthor predicted that work-family conflict would be negatively correlated with well-being. In a sample of310 Malaysian employed women with families, work-family conflict was a significant predictor of both jobsatisfaction and distress-negatively related to job satisfaction and positively related to symptoms ofdistress. More important, the results provided support for the effects of all 3 pathways of control on therelationship between work-family conflict and well-being, depending on the outcome measure: For jobsatisfaction, locus of control had direct effects, acted as a partial mediator, and played a significantmoderating role. In contrast, only the direct effect of locus of control predicted distress. The authordiscusses those findings with reference to the literature on work-family conflict, locus of control, and theissue of stress-distress specificity.Addresses: Int Islam Univ, Dept Psychol, Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaReprint Address: Noor, NM, Int Islam Univ, Dept Psychol, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.Cited Reference Count: 51Times Cited: 18Publisher: HELDREF PUBLICATIONSPublisher Address: 1319 EIGHTEENTH ST NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036-1802 USAISSN: 0022-454529-char Source Abbrev.: J SOC PSYCHOLISO Source Abbrev.: J.

This study applies an integratedinternational risk framework to investigate the relationship between risk perceptions and the choice offoreign market entry mode. Data from 69 Malaysian public companies yielded a high degree of correlationamong I I international risk variables that were broadly grouped into two categories: external risks andinternal risks. A significant relationship was found between the level of perceived risk and choice of entrymode, such that low risk perceptions were associated with high control modes of entry and high riskperceptions were associated with low control modes of entry.

However, firms must first be aware of the availability of these promotionprograms before they can make use of them. This study examines the channels through which Malaysian

12

firms obtain information on export promotion programs, and assesses the level of awareness of 13 suchprograms among Malaysian firms in four industry groups. Data collected from 53 manufacturing firmsindicated that the available sources of information on export programs were not readily consulted, and thefirms' overall awareness of export programs was not high. The results suggested that governmentagencies, in particular, need to do more to promote their role in developing external trade. Creating ahigher level of awareness of export promotion tools, particularly among small- and medium-sized firms,should be given greater emphasis.

The disaggregated components of real incomeare final consumption goods, expenditure on investment goods, and exports. Other determinants aredomestic interest rate and exchange rate. Using Malaysian annual data over the period 1973-1998, theresults of the 'bound' test based on Unrestricted Error-Correction Model estimation (Pesaran et al., 2001),indicates a long run equilibrium relationship between demand of real M3 and its determinants. The resultsalso highlight that different domestic demand components yields different effects on money demandbehaviour. The results have important policy implications.Addresses: Monash Univ Malaysia, Sch Business & Informat Technol, Petaling Jaya 46150, SelangorDarul, MalaysiaReprint Address: Tang, TC, Monash Univ Malaysia, Sch Business & Informat Technol, 2 Jalan Kolej,Petaling Jaya 46150, Selangor Darul, Malaysia.Cited Reference Count: 26Times Cited: 7

A study applying the single case approach to formal thought disorder inschizophreniaSource: NEUROCASE, 8 (3): 233-244 2002Language: EnglishDocument Type: ArticleKeyWords Plus: LANGUAGE; APHASIA; LINGUISTAbstract: It has been suggested that formal thought disorder, the incoherent speech of schizophrenia,may involve a language disturbance among other abnormalities, or even be a form of dysphasia. Sixpatients with and seven without formal thought disorder were evaluated on an aphasia test battery.Spontaneous speech was also analysed using Brief Syntactic Analysis. Poor performance on the aphasiatest battery was found to be associated with general intellectual impairment but not with formal thoughtdisorder. Naming was preserved in both groups. Patients with formal thought disorder, but not thosewithout, produced semantic errors in their spontaneous speech, and these were unrelated to generalintellectual status. The disorder of language in formal thought disorder thus appears to be one ofexpressive semantic abnormality, which, however, spares naming. Further analysis of two intellectuallypreserved patients suggested that formal thought disorder may be associated with an additional difficultyin constructing an appropriate model for generating one's own speech.Addresses: Fulbourne Hosp, Cambridge CB1 5EF, England; Univ Sains Malaysia, Dept Linguist, GeorgeTown, Malaysia; Univ Cambridge, Dept Expt Psychol, Cambridge CB2 1TN, EnglandReprint Address: McKenna, PJ, Fulbourne Hosp, Cambridge CB1 5EF, England.Cited Reference Count: 51Times Cited: 12Publisher: OXFORD UNIV PRESSPublisher Address: GREAT CLARENDON ST, OXFORD OX2 6DP, ENGLANDISSN: 1355-479429-char Source Abbrev.: NEUROCASEISO Source Abbrev.: NeurocaseSource Item Page Count: 12Subject Category: Clinical Neurology; Psychiatry; PsychologyISI Document Delivery No.: 584BD

Thirty-six bodydimensions were measured. Mean, variation measures, percentiles, 4 indices, and correlation coefficientsbetween body dimensions were calculated. Effects of age were studied. Data of Algerian farmers andfarmers from both developed and developing countries are compared. Body dimensions results werepresented in one table so that they can easily be used by designers. It has been found that both statureand weight correlated significantly with many body dimensions. In addition, age was found to affect bodyheight and weight. Moreover, it was found that stature and weight have increased with time. These daysfarmers are taller and heavier than farmers of the 1960s. Algerian farmers are also taller and heavier thanfarmers of many developing countries. However, when Algerians are compared with the farmers ofdeveloped countries, they are shorter and lighter.Addresses: Int Islam Univ, Dept Psychol, Kuala Lumpur 53100, MalaysiaReprint Address: Mokdad, M, Int Islam Univ, Dept Psychol, Jalan Gombak, Kuala Lumpur 53100,Malaysia.Cited Reference Count: 26Times Cited: 4Publisher: ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVPublisher Address: PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

Quality assurance of medical practice requires assessment of doctors'performance, whether informally via a system such as peer review or more formally via one such ascredentialing. Current methods of assessment are, however, subjective or implicit. More objectivemethods of assessment based on statistical process control technique such as cumulative sum procedure(CUSUM) may be helpful.Objective. To determine the usefulness and acceptability of CUSUM charting for assessing doctors'performance.Method. We applied CUSUM charting to assess doctors' performance of endoscopic retrogradepancreatography, renal and breast biopsies, thyroidectomy, and instrumental delivery. A CUSUM chart isa graphical representation of the trend in the outcome of a series of consecutive procedures. Atacceptable levels of performance, the CUSUM curve is flat, while at unacceptable levels of performance,the curve slopes upward and eventually crosses a decision interval. When this occurs, the CUSUM chartindicates unsatisfactory performance. Thus, it provides an early warning of an adverse trend.Results. All participating doctors found the technique useful to objectively measure their proficiency.CUSUM charts showed the progress of trainees in acquiring new skills. As they become more skilful withtraining, their CUSUM curves flatten. Among consultants, level CUSUM curves demonstrated ongoingmaintenance of competence. All participants found the technique acceptable as a self-assessment tool.They were, however, less certain of its acceptability as a basis for credentialing.Conclusion. We recommend the use of CUSUM charting as a tool for personal audit at an individual level.It may also be used to show proof of technical competence for the purpose of credentialing.Addresses: Minist Hlth, Hosp Kuala Lumpur, Clin Res Ctr, Kuala Lumpur 50586, MalaysiaReprint Address: Lim, TO, Minist Hlth, Hosp Kuala Lumpur, Clin Res Ctr, 1st Floor,Main Block, KualaLumpur 50586, Malaysia.Cited Reference Count: 22Times Cited: 24Publisher: OXFORD UNIV PRESSPublisher Address: GREAT CLARENDON ST, OXFORD OX2 6DP, ENGLANDISSN: 1353-450529-char Source Abbrev.: INT J QUAL HEALTH CAREISO Source Abbrev.: Int.

Representations of history andhistorical leaders tended to be hegemonic or consensual, showing low levels of conflict across ethnicityand nationality, even regarding the separation of these two nations. Tendencies towards in-groupfavoritism andontogeny were slight, but statistically significant on some measures. National and ethnicidentity were positively correlated, with ethnic identity stronger than national identity in Malaysia, andstrongest among Malays in Malaysia. National identity was strongest among Chinese in Malaysia,followed by Chinese in Singapore. Results of regression analyses on national identity suggest thatethnicity is more sensitive in Malaysia than in Singapore. Results are interpreted through the frameworksprovided by social representations theory and social identity theory. It is argued that hegemonicrepresentations of history are associated with positive correlations between national and ethnic identity.Addresses: Victoria Univ Wellington, Sch Psychol, Wellington, New Zealand; Univ Malaya, KualaLumpur 59100, MalaysiaReprint Address: Liu, JH, Victoria Univ Wellington, Sch Psychol, POB 600, Wellington, New Zealand.Cited Reference Count: 25Times Cited: 44Publisher: BLACKWELL PUBL LTDPublisher Address: 108 COWLEY RD, OXFORD OX4 1JF, OXON, ENGLANDISSN: 1367-222329-char Source Abbrev.: ASIAN J SOC PSYCHOLISO Source Abbrev.: Asian J.

It isargued that the rapid progress and financial market liberalization that is occurring in emerging financialmarkets could provide additional evidence for testing the expectation hypothesis. This article employsdata from the Malaysian government securities market which represents one of the examples of anemerging financial market. Cointegration and error correction analyses show significant empirical validityfor the expectation hypothesis. The long- and short-term interest rates are shown to be cointegrated andsubject to a long-run equilibrium path. In addition to shedding some light on the experience of emergingfinancial market, this article explicitly identifies the process of adjustment towards the long run equilibrium.For the long-run, the results are in favour of the long-to-short version of expectation hypothesis withlonger-term interest rates playing a greater role as equilibrium attractor. However, in the short run causalimpact runs from short- to long- term interest rates. The empirical findings of the article generally supportthe proposition of expectation hypothesis.Addresses: Univ Kebangsaan Malaysia, Fac Business Management, Dept Finance, Bangi 43600,Selangor, MalaysiaReprint Address: Ghazali, NA, Univ Kebangsaan Malaysia, Fac Business Management, Dept Finance,Bangi 43600, Selangor, Malaysia.Cited Reference Count: 69Times Cited: 3Publisher: ROUTLEDGEPublisher Address: CUSTOMER SERVICES DEPT, RANKINE RD, BASINGSTOKE, HANTS RG24

However, in a surprisingly large number of cases, itwas found that employee empowerment remains a dream. Instead, in some cases, with theimplementation of TQM, employees found the organization even more hierarchical and their power isfurther eroded. In most of these cases, employee resentment was so strong that quality improvement wasimpaired. This problem arises mainly due to management's belief that a separate organization may becreated to implement TQM above the existing organization structure in the company. Evidence hasshown that this does not work and could be one of the main reasons for the implementation failure ofTQM. For TQM to work there is a necessity to revamp or level the whole organization structure.

In this paper, we describe an experimental studyof the benefits of integrated information display, using a computerized simulation of a highly automatedship's bridge. The study compared three types of interface design, which presented radar and electronicchart information to the operator in different ways: (a) integrated display, (b) functionally-separate display,and (c) spatially-separate display. Effects were examined in relation to time on watch and scenariocomplexity. Following extensive training on the task, 39 participants were tested over a 4-h experimentalsession, during which they encountered a sequence of collision scenarios of varying complexity. Using adual-task methodology, a range of measures of primary and secondary task performance were taken,together with assessment of information sampling behaviour and subjective operator state (workload,fatigue, anxiety and situation awareness). The results indicated slight navigational advantages of theintegrated display over the two alternative display types, although it also incurred higher levels of operatorcost, particularly fatigue. There were no marked effects of time on watch, but more complex scenarioswere associated with impaired performance, increased workload and reduced situation awareness.
