Methamphetamine dependence remains a worldwide problem and Malaysia is no exception. The widespread of methamphetamine dependent has given an impact that can be felt at various levels, from the individual, to the individual’s family, community and society. Unfortunately, there are not many studies done on the issues of methamphetamine dependence in Malaysia. We are still lacking in published data especially in terms of prevalence, psychiatry morbidity, genetic risk factors and treatment aspect. Based on the result of the study, we found that the prevalence of psychiatric co-morbidity was 54.4% and the prevalence of suicidality was 12.1 %. The subjects had …

On The Value Relevance Of Retailer Advertising Spending And Same-Store Sales Growth, Kapil Tuli, Anirban Mukherjee, Marnik G. Dekimpe Jan 2011

On The Value Relevance Of Retailer Advertising Spending And Same-Store Sales Growth, Kapil Tuli, Anirban Mukherjee, Marnik G. Dekimpe

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

In response to recent calls to study factors that determine a retailer's stock price, this study draws on signaling theory to examine the impact of two key marketing metrics that are widely disclosed by retailers to investors, advertising spending and growth in same-store sales (COMPS), and highlights the moderating role of various firm- and sector-specific factors. Using a stock-response model estimated on a sample of 1,646 observations for 257 retailers, the authors find that the value relevance of advertising spending and COMPS depends on the financial condition of, and the competitive pressures faced by, the retailer. In addition, the positive …


Reshaping Exercise Design In Assessment Centers: Theory, Practice, And Research, Filip Lievens, Eveline Schollaert Jan 2011

Reshaping Exercise Design In Assessment Centers: Theory, Practice, And Research, Filip Lievens, Eveline Schollaert

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Upon looking at this title, an obvious question is whether assessment center (AC) exercises need to be designed differently from what was done in the past. AC exercises have been around since World War I and their longevity attests to their success. So why propose some changes to this monument in personnel selection and development? Let us first acknowledge that we concur that ACs are in still in good shape. However, every good brand needs some adjustments (which is a more appropriate term than “changes” in this context) once in a while, based on new theoretical insights and empirical research. …


Consolidating Or Non-Consolidating Queues: A Game Theoretic Queuing Model With Holding Costs, Kwan Eng Wee, Ananth Iyer Jan 2011

Consolidating Or Non-Consolidating Queues: A Game Theoretic Queuing Model With Holding Costs, Kwan Eng Wee, Ananth Iyer

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

We consider a two-server queueing system in which the servers choose their service rate based on the demand and holding cost allocation scheme offered by the demand generating entity. We provide an optimal holding cost allocation scheme that leads to the maximum possible service rate for each of a pooled and a split system. Our results suggest that careful allocation of holding costs can create incentives that enable minimum turnaround times using a common queue.

Understanding Investor Sentiment: The Case Of Soccer, Gennaro Bernile, Evgeny Lyandres Jan 2011

Understanding Investor Sentiment: The Case Of Soccer, Gennaro Bernile, Evgeny Lyandres

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

We examine the extent to which the stock market's inefficient responses to resolutions of uncertainty depend on investors’ biased ex ante beliefs regarding the probability distribution of future event outcomes or their ex post irrational reactions to these outcomes. We use a sample of publicly traded European soccer clubs and analyze their returns around important matches. Using a novel proxy for investors’ expectations based on contracts traded on betting exchanges (prediction markets), we find that within our sample, investor sentiment is attributable, in part, to a systematic bias in investors’ ex ante expectations. Investors are overly optimistic about their teams’ …

The nature of organizational life requires questioning the role of worker autonomy. An impressive amount of management research has been devoted to autonomy issues in organizations. Autonomy is at the forefront of research on job design and the management of employees. Therefore, we review evidence in the area of job design and management practices that deeply affect worker autonomy. Throughout this discussion, we evaluate the cross-cultural applicability of research and practice and offer future directions based on self-determination theory.

Terf2 Gene Expression In Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia / Lelamekala Vengidasan, Lelamekala Vengidasan

Student Works (2010-2019)

Advances in the understanding of cell biology in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL) have led to sophisticated risk-stratification based therapeutic interventions targeting individual patients. Despite these advances, approximately 10-20% of children with ALL still relapse. Thus, identification of new prognostic indicators will allow for better targeted treatment. TERF2, one of the main components of the shelterin complex (telosome), has been found to be over-expressed in a variety of epithelial malignancies, including lung, skin and breast cancer. This study aims to investigate the level of expression of TERF2 in pediatric ALL and in different cALL patient subgroups and its potential as …

Trust In Co-Workers As A Mediator Of Co-Workers' Trustworthiness, Social Undermining Behaviour, And Job Performance / Ong Lin Dar, Lin Dar Ong

Student Works (2010-2019)

This study tested whether the relationship between perceptions of co-workers’ trustworthiness and employees’ job performance is mediated by trust in co-workers. The study also examined the extent to which trust in co-workers mediates the relationships between co-workers’ social undermining behaviour and employees’ job performance. All the measures were adopted from the work of past authors. The items were altered slightly to reflect the reference to co-workers. Three structured questionnaires were designed to collect data from employees, their co-workers, and immediate supervisors. There were 502 employees from ten organisations in Malaysia that participated in the survey. The IBM SPSS Statistics 17 …

Extraction Behaviour Of Cu(Ii) And Fe(Iii) From Chloride Medium To The Hydrophobic Ionic Liquids Using 1,10-Phenanthroline / Nurul Yani Rahim, Rahim Nurul Yani

Student Works (2010-2019)

The study of liquid-liquid extraction of Cu(II) and Fe(III) ion was carried out using a series of hydrophobic ionic liquid; 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C4mimPF6]), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophospahate ([C6mimPF6]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bistrifluoromethylsulfonyl imide ([C4mimNTf2]) and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bistrifluoromethylsulfonyl imide ([C6mimNTf2]) as the extraction phase. Cu(II) showed a preferential extraction into less hydrophobic ionic liquid, [C4mimPF6]. The extraction behavior of Cu(II) ions depend on the type of counter ion present. The extraction process of Cu(II) ion in ionic liquid proceeded via similar mechanism to that of a molecular organic solvent. From the results obtained, an ion pair mechanism is proposed for the extraction of Cu complexes …
