MALAYSIA@50: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, DISTRIBUTION, DISPARITIES

Peninsular Malaysia, then known as the Federation of Malaya, gained independence from Britain in 1957. An expanded federation of Malaysia was formed in September 1963 by federating the Federation of Malaya with the former Straits Settlements island colony of Singapore to the south of Malaya, Sabah (previously run by the British North Borneo Company, set up by royal charter) and the former Bro…

OFFSHORE INVESTMENTS That SAFEGUARD CASH Your CASH

The first thing that should be said to someone who is thinking of “going offshore” is that it is like going into major surgery. The outcomes can differ enormously, depending on the skill of the surgeons and what they are trying to accomplish. You may simply want to protect your money from volatility that comes with market crisis, economic instability, and a turbulent U.S. dollar. Or maybe …

Demystifying the IPsec Puzzle

For quite a long time, computer security was a rather narrow field of study that was populated mainly by theoretical computer scientists, electrical engineers, and applied mathematicians. With the proliferation of open sys- tems in general, and the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) in particular, this situation has changed fundamentally. Today, computer and network practitioners are equally…

HIGH-IMPACT HUMAN CAPITAL STRATEGY

This new book focuses directly on how to develop a human capital (HC) strategy in today’s turbulent and changing environment . Too often, HC strategy encompasses a classic and traditional approach to human resources (HR): recruit- ing the best people, preparing them for assignments, motivating them for high performance, and retaining them for several years . While this is all necessary, it is…

International Law for Energy and the Environment

The first edition of this book, Energy Law and the Environment, was published in 2002 and was the first one in the field that considered the legal environmental imperatives for the energy sector. The first edition was written to be accessible to both lawyers and non-lawyers alike and the same theme continues in this, the second edition. However, the interest and concerns of policymakers, multin…

PhoneGap Social App Development

Welcome to PhoneGap social app development. Social networking has changed the way we share information in our world. Where it used to be an e-mail to a friend (or even a letter!), now it's a tweet or a Facebook post, often for the world to see. What's even more amazing is how relatively young the various social networks are and how quickly they have changed the way we communicate and consume in…

Wireless and Mobile Network Security

Wireless networks and security might be considered an oxymoron. Indeed it is hard to believe in security when it is so easy to access communication media such as wireless radio media. However, the research community in industry and academia has for many years extended wired security mechanisms or developed new security mechanisms and security protocols to sustain this marriage between wireless/…

Introduction to Credit Risk Modeling

The first edition of this book appeared eight years ago. Since then the banking industry experienced a lot of change and challenges. The most recent financial crisis which started around May 2007 and lasted in its core period until early 2009 gave rise to a lot of scepticism about whether credit risk models are appropriate to capture the true nature of risks inherent in credit portfolios in gen…

Risk Analysis in Finance and Insurance

This book deals with the notion of “risk” and is devoted to analysis of risks in finance and insurance. We will study risks associated with financial and insurance contracts, by which we understand risks to be uncertainties that may result in financial loss and affect the ability to make payments associ- ated with the corresponding contracts. Our approach to this analysis is based on the …

Reconnecting Marketing to Markets

Marketing is an activity and process in a market context. Thus most people will agree that marketing and markets are connected, both in theory and in practice. However, the title of this book, ‘Reconnecting Marketing to Markets’, suggests that not only has there been a disconnection in academic research sometime in the past but also that the editors and authors entertain ideas about a possi…

Statistical Physics

This book is essentially based on the lecture course on “Statistical Physics”, which was taught by the author at the physical faculty of the Ural State University in Ekater- inburg since 1992. This course was intended for all physics students, not especially for those specializing in theoretical physics. In this sense the material presented here contains the necessary minimum of knowledge o…

Revealing art

In the Tate Modern there is a version of Auguste Rodin’s The Kiss (1901–4) which can be seen on the cover of this book. A couple emerges from the block of marble in a rapturous embrace, the meeting of their lips deliberately concealed from the viewer. The woman leans into the embrace, turning and pulling the man down. Her leg presses over his thigh, gently prising his legs apart, whilst h…

Law from the Tigris to the Tiber: The Writings of Raymond Westbrook

On July 23, 2009, as the preparations for this collection were nearing completion, Raymond Westbrook, the W. W. Spence Professor of Semitic Languages in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Johns Hopkins University, passed away. We had been contemplating the production of these volumes for some time and began work on them in earnest about one year ago, spurred in part by the progression of…

Managing TRUST in Cyberspace

Traditional security mechanisms restrict access to authorized users only, in order to protect resources from malicious users. However, in many con- texts, we must protect ourselves from those who offer resources, so that the problem is in fact reversed. This improper usage cannot be addressed by traditional security mechanisms, and the issues relate more to trustworthiness than security. Trus…

Foundations of Business

Regardless of how you define success or what your personal goals are, we wrote this text with one purpose: To help you succeed not only in today’s competitive business world, but also in your personal life.

Integrated Business Model

Enterprises throughout the ages have always had to deal with processes of change. The invention of printing with movable type almost wholly superseded the medi- eval business model of—usually monastic—scriptoria in the space of just a few decades. Change, therefore, is not a modern phenomenon. Yet what is new is the number and growth of influencing factors that now determine business action…

How the Stock Market Works

Making money demands effort, whether working for a salary or investing. You get nothing for nothing. Anyone who tells you the stock market is an absolute doddle, and money for old rope, is either a conman or a fool. And the proof of that became very clear with the stock market depressions starting in 2007. But doing a bit of work does not necessarily mean heavy mathematics and several hours eve…
