<#LINE#>Bank Choice Behaviour among Malaysian Muslims: A Qualitative Approach<#LINE#>AhmadAzrin@Adnan,MohdNasir@NoorAzeanti,DalfizaMohd@Yusof<#LINE#>1-8<#LINE#>1.ISCA-IRJSS-2013-182.pdf<#LINE#> Faculty of Business Management and Accountancy, Sultan Zainal Abidin University, Gong Badak, Kuala Terengganu, MALAYSIA<#LINE#>14/11/2013<#LINE#>15/12/2013<#LINE#>  This paper aims to understand the key motivations for Islamic bank patronage among Muslims using in-depth interviews and non-participant observation. This research used in-depth interviews and non-participant observation of Muslim customers of Islamic banks located in Terengganu, the earliest state to receive Islam in Malaysia and is well-known in adopting the Islamic governance system. 15 customers were determined to comprise the resultant sampling frame. The identified factors developed the four themes of customer profiling: i. ability (taufeeq) and guidance (hidayah); ii. guidance (hidayah) without ability (taufeeq); iii. ability (taufeeq) without guidance (hidayah); and iv. no ability (taufeeq) and guidance (hidayah). The “completeness of prayer” factor is a new discovery that could lead consumers to demonstrate an ideal behaviour according to Islamic teachings. Thus, the actual problem of the Islamic banking system especially among Muslims community is not the availability of shariah-compliant products or services, but the lack of shariah-adherent behaviour among Muslims. <#LINE#> @ @ Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki and Nurdianawati Irwani Abdullah, Why do Malaysian customers patronize Islamic banks?, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 25(3), 142-160(2007) @No $ @ @ Gait A., and Worthington A., An empirical survey of individual consumer, business firm and financial institution attitudes towards Islamic methods of finance, International Journal of Social Economics, 35(11), 783-808 (2008) @No $ @ @ Erol C. and El-Bdour R., Attitudes, behaviour and patronage factors of bank customers towards Islamic banks, International Journal of Bank Marketing,7(6), 31-37 (1989) @No $ @ @ Erol C., Kaynak E. and El-Bdour R., Conventional and Islamic bank: Patronage behaviour of Jordanian customers, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 8(5), 25-35(1990) @No $ @ @ Edris T.A. and Almahmeed M.A., Services considered important to business customers and determinants of bank selection in Kuwait: A segmentation analysis, International Journal of Bank Marketing, 15(4), 126-133 (1997) @No $ @ @ Umer H.S.H., The implications of Islamic beliefs and practice on the Islamic financial institutions in the UK: Case study of Albaraka International BankUK, Unpublished PhD thesis, Loughborough University (1992) @No $ @ @ Mohd Amy Azhar Mohd Harif, Khairul Anuar Adnan, and Ali Badron Mokhtar., Perbandingan kriteria pemilihan sistem perbankan Islam: Dari perspektif pelanggan [Malay article], paper presented at the National Seminar in Islamic Banking and Finance Kuala Lumpur, 25-26 (2006) @No $ @ @ Jasim Al-Ajmi, Hameeda Abo Hussain and Nadhem Al-Saleh., Clients of conventional and Islamic banks in Bahrain: How they choose which bank to patronise?

It is a critical evaluation of forty eight films. It explores the characters of women portrays in Urdu and Punjabi film of Pakistan. Using content analysis, as the portrayal of women in Urdu and Punjabi films is not reflective of true Pakistani women rather this portrayal presents a negative image of Pakistani women in the viewer's mind. These movies do not address the women's issues nor do they present solutions to these problems faced by Pakistani women. So far as the findings show that the portrayal of women in Urdu and Punjabi films are not free from male prejudices and these films do not portray the true social and political role performed by actual Pakistani women. The analysis shows that the portrayal of women in Urdu and Punjabi films is based on the assumptions.  <#LINE#> @ @ Elsaesser T. and Buckland W., Studying Contemporary American Films, A guide to movie analysis,New York: Oxford University press,(2002) @No $ @ @ St. Vincent.

Construction and operation of dams have always been associated with changes in the social, physical and biological environment. Some of the negative impacts of hydroelectric projects include loss of vegetations, topographical disturbances, changes in rivers flow patterns, involuntary resettlement, health problems, loss of cultural values and marginalization of local people. The impacts due to hydropower development, especially of reservoir and dams are always extensive in term of space. It covers upstream, on site, and downstream areas and surrounding of hydropower plants. Generally that all the hydroelectric projects in Chamba district have been given all attention regarding its technical design and economical issues of the project and very least or almost negligible attention on social and environmental factors, which are much more important in context to the  remote, tribal culture rich and very high earthquake sensitive zone of Chamba district of Northwest Himalaya. <#LINE#> @ @ Xiaocheng F., Tao T., Wanxiang J., Fengqing L., Naicheng W., Shuchan Z. and Qinghua C., Impacts of small hydropower plants on macroinvertebrate communities, Acta Ecologica Sinica, 28(1) 45-52 (2008) @No $ @ @ Tabwassah C.A. and Obiefuna G.I., Geophysical and  Geotechnical Investigation of Cham Failed Dam Project, Ne Nigeria, Research Journal of Recent Sciences, ), 1-18 (2012) @No $ @ @ Agarwal A., ASocio-Psychological Survey of the Rehabilitation Oustees of Tehri Dam An Unpublished M.Phil Dissertation, Department of Psychology.

It is a place where children can shape and mold their behaviours. Hence an inclusive setup too should provide children with opportunities for social interaction which can facilitate both disabled and non-disabled children in their interpersonal relationship. Hence in the present study an attempt has been made to assess the social behaviour of sensory challenged and non-disabled children attending inclusive schools. The investigator developed a self structured rating scale to assess the social behaviour of sensory challenged and non-disabled children.  10 sensory challenged children and 10 non-disabled children in the age group of 10-15 years were identified for the purpose of pilot study in Bangalore city, by using purposeful sampling technique. The study included a pre and post method with an intervention programme. Data collected was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the data revealed that the intervention programme had positive influence on social behaviour of sensory challenged and non-disabled children in inclusive schools. The result of the study also highlights the need for emphasizing, fostering and developing social behaviour of both sensory challenged and non-disabled children in an inclusive school. <#LINE#> @ @ Carrie Renea., Sensory Impairment, (2010) , http://www. slideshare.net/CarrieRenea/sensory-impairments  @No $ @ @  Smith T.E.C., Polloway E.A., Patton J.R. and Dowdy C.A., Teaching students with Special Needs in Inclusive Settings (New Delhi: PHI Learning Private Limited), 317(2011) @No $ @ @ Donna Lene., SENESE Inclusive Education, (2012)  http://www.seneseinclusive-edu.ws/definition-of-inclusive-education@No $ @ @ Roger Abrantes., Social Behavior (2012)  http:// rogerabrantes.wordpress.com/tag/social-behavior/  @No $ @ @ Graydon Gordian., The Meaning and Importance of ProSocial Behavior, (2012) , http://www.sesameworkshop.org /our-blog/2012/02/21/the-meaning-and-importance-of-pro-social-behavior/  @No $ @ @  Bronfenbrenner U., Influences on Human Development.

In 1972, Planning Commission suggested the implementation of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme in all the States of India. Under this scheme, a package of services, consisting of supplementary nutrition, immunization, health check-up, referral services, health education and non–formal pre–school education is provided to children below 6 years of age and pregnant women and nursing mothers in the age group of 15-45 years in an integrated manner.
