Publication An Overview of STAKCERT Framework in Confronting Worms Attack(IEEE, 2009) ;Saudi, MM ;Cullen, AJ ;Woodward, ME ;Hamid, HAAbhalim, AHA procedure is one of the most important elements that should be emphasized when handling any incident related with the cyber world. It is easily forgotten by many organizations, IT administrator and users, especially when dealing with the worms attack. Using the incident response methodology as the basis to build up the STAKCERT framework, the researchers have proposed this novel framework which helps to increase the efficiency in handling worm incident, thus facilitate the process of responding to the worm incident The STAKCERT framework consists of 2 phases where in phase 1, a novel standard operating procedure in worm detection and analysis have been introduced. In phase 2 of the framework, the worm isolation procedure is inspired by apoptosis. Apoptosis is also known as cell programmed death borrowed from the biology term. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Credit cards preferences of Islamic and conventional credit card(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2015) ;Dali, NRSM ;Yousafzai, SHamid, HAPurpose - The main aim of this paper is to identify whether certain consumers behave irrationally when it comes to select banking products. This paper builds on one of the most significant banking products that is the credit card. Design/methodology/approach - This is an exploratory research paper. Therefore, only descriptive analysis on the differences between three credit card user groupssuch as the Islamic credit card users, conventional card users and users who decide to use both credit cards, conventional and Islamic, were presented. Findings - The demographic and psychographic factors for the three different groups differ. In addition, there are four factors that influence the credit card selection. The factors are insurance/takaful provided by the credit issuers, cost associated with the credit card, the reward points programme offered and the convenience factors. Furthermore, the study found that three of the factors except insurance/takaful are significantly different between three credit card groups. Research limitations/implications - This paper is limited to the context of Malaysia and the respondents are mostly from the same ethnic. Therefore, it could not be generalised in the context of other countries and further studies comparing different culture or ethnic could benefit and enrich the topic of study. Practical implications - The Islamic and conventional banks could focus on several factors influencing customers' selection and could focus to improve certain lacking areas as perceived by the consumers. The ability to increase the perceptions of the consumers regarding their credit cards will enable their products to be chosen in the market. Originality/value - There was a significant amount of literature discussed in the Islamic banking selection factors. However, little attention being paid to the selection of a specific bank's product. This study offers a study that looks into the selection of the credit card offered by the banks in respect to the irrational behaviours of the religious consumers in economic activities as compared to the conventional economists. This paper will contribute to the body of existing literature of banking selection. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Factors Contributing Knowledge Sharing In Higher Learning Institution(Univ Utari Malaysia-Uum, 2008) ;Alwi, NHM ;Abu Bakar, AHamid, HAThis paper is to discuss the factors that might be the contributors to the knowledge sharing in a Higher Learning Institution of Malaysia. Currently a study is conducted at a higher learning institution to identify the factors that can enhance the practice of knowledge sharing among the staffs regardless academic staffs or non-academic staffs. The study will be carried out by using two major approaches that are questionnaire survey and case studies. Therefore, the final product of this study is to compose the factors that have been determined within the study and it will be conferred in this paper. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Relationship between Education and Cognitive Performance among Healthy Malay Adults(Univ Kebangsaan Malaysia, 2016) ;Hamzah, AIZA ;Abu Bakar, ZH ;Sani, NFA ;Tan, JK ;Damanhuri, MHA ;Aripin, KNN ;Rani, MDM ;Noh, NA ;Razali, R ;Mohamad, M ;Makpol, S ;Mazlan, M ;Hamid, HANgah, WZWHigher level of education is associated with better cognitive performance and lower risk of developing dementia. However, the effect of education on cognitive performance varies across different cognitive domains and in different populations. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between education and performance of different cognitive domains among healthy Malay adults. A total of 53 individuals aged 29 to 77 years participated in a battery of neurophysiological tests consisting of Mini-Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, digit span, visual reproduction and digit symbol speed test (DSST). Blood test was performed for each participant to obtain their biochemical profile. Educational level was divided into level 1 (PMR), level 2 (SPM), level 3 (STPM), level 4 (Diploma) and level 5 (Degree). Simple linear regression indicated that years of education was positively associated with scores of delayed visual reproduction (b=1.348, p=0.002) and DSST (b=3.257, p=0.012). However, scores of all the tests were not significantly different among different levels of education after controlling for age, gender and blood test profile by ANCOVA. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that MMSE score was associated with red cell distribution width (b=-0.628, p=0.005), age (b=-0.119, p<0.001) and there was interaction between high density lipoprotein (HDL) with age (b=0.047, p<001). MoCA score was associated with age (b=-0.121, p<0.001), gender (male compared to female, b=1.870, p=0.020) and HDL (b=1.681, p=0.047). Age was associated with backward digit span (b=-0098, p<0.001) and immediate visual reproduction (b=-0.348, p<0.001), resp. Delayed visual reproduction was associated with age (b=0.323, p<0.001) and potassium level (b=-4.471, p=0.016). DSST was associated with age (b=-0.911, p<0.001) and alanine aminotransferase (b=-0.754, p=0.002). The lack of association between educational level and cognitive performance after adjusting for confounders in this study maybe due to multiple factors influencing cognitive performance and further studies with a larger sample size are needed to further identify the factors involved. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Religiosity scale development(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2019-03-04) ;Dali, NRSM ;Yousafzai, SHamid, HAPurpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an Islamic religiosity measurement which can be applied in many various sectors and fields. Design/methodology/approach The religiosity measurement developed by the authors had undergone systematic qualitative and quantitative approaches taking into consideration the expert opinion survey in ensuring the measurement content validity and reliability. Findings The study found that Islamic religiosity measurement is multi-dimensional. The dimensions found were beliefs and commitment or practice. Research limitations/implications -The research limitation of the study is that the research is in its exploratory stages and needs to be replicated and to be tested in different contextual settings. Originality/value -The instrument was developed through a rigorous systematic database search, qualitative and quantitative scale development stages which can be used as the basis in measuring Islamic religiosity.
