Publication Collaborative procurement for developing a sustainable campus(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2016) ;Nifa F.A.A. ;Rahim S.A. ;Rani W.N.M.W.M. ;Ismail M.N. ;Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment ;Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) ;Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)It is particularly challenging to achieve sustainability in campus universities, where a high volume of users and activities has made it more imperative to promote green buildings that reduce energy and water consumption while having a minimal carbon footprint. At present, the frameworks for sustainable campus have seldom focused on the project procurement method which would improve construction team integration in developing the physical aspect of campus development. Therefore, in response to that challenge, this paper investigates how the delivery team, responsible for the design and construction of a project, can be integrated to work together more efficiently and more using the collaborative procurement method known as partnering. This paper reports part of a previous research and sets the base for ongoing research on the critical factors in partnering for sustainable campus development. The outcome or result of this study will meet and support the requirement for construction, maintenance, and operation process for universities towards sustainable building/campus in the future. � 2016 Author(s). - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Forecasting volatility using bootstrap MCEWMA following Sukuk Ijarah issuances(Medwell Journals, 2015) ;Rahim S.A. ;Ahmad N. ;Faculty of Economics and MuamalatUniversiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)The aim of this study is to estimate Sukuk volatility using volatility forecasting model which is: Moving Centerline Exponential Weighted Moving Average (MCEWMA) for the period between 2008 and 2011. This research also aims to estimate the best method to find out the Sukuk volatility by Sukuk Ijarah structure for the period between 2008 and 2011. It is also important to examine the best performance between the real model of MCEWMA and the hybrid model of Bootstrap MCEWMA (BMCEWMA). This study focuses on FTSE Bursa Malaysia Emas Shari'ah Index (FBM EMAS) and FTSE Bursa Malaysia Hyrah Shari'ah Index (FBM Hijrah). The sources of data come from data stream, bloomberg database, securities commission Malaysia and Bursa Malaysia. The results show the hybrid model of Bootstrap MCEWMA is better than the real Model. It concludes that the application of BMCEWMA is better than MCEWMA. The researcher advices policy makers to guide regulators, investors and issuers to the best Sukuk that remained stable during a crisis. This analysis will provide valuable information and guidelines to issuers, policy makers, regulatory bodies and investors to Islamic bonds.

Publication Towards developing a sustainable campus: Best practice approach(ExcelingTech, 2016) ;Nifa F.A.A. ;Wan Mohd Rani W.N.M. ;Ismail M.N. ;Rahim S.A. ;Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment ;Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) ;Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)Campus Sustainability has become challenging because it requires active participation and coordination of related stakeholders particularly the campus community itself. Previous research has pointed out that for a campus to be sustainable, consideration to the three pillars of sustainable development is essential. This refers to the preservation of the environment, continuous economic growth and social sustainability. Good governance and best practice is the key to achieve a sustainable campus. This could be achieved through active coordination and participation between the management, administrative and operational departments, and the academic department and its local community. Continuous support of the efforts to achieve a sustainable campus will be reflected in the quality of the teaching, learning and other related activities. Hence it is important to frame out the best practice that comprises a holistic approach and strategies to achieve a sustainable campus. This paper provides a review on the status of higher education development in Malaysia that also looks into the issues and challenges of achieving a sustainable campus. Subsequently, the authors propose a conceptual framework of best practice to achieve sustainable campus aimed at improving the current campus sustainability plan. � ExcelingTech Pub, UK.
