Infectious disease can start and spread beyond hospital grounds that arise both epidemic and pandemic depending on its scale and effect. This presentation focuses only within the ambit of hospitals and its operation as place and space where ‘infected patients’ present themselves or be referred to for diagnose, observation, treatment, rehabilitation and at time-preparation for the dead. As a multidisciplinary workshop, the intent is to demonstrate how healthcare and specifically infectious disease has an impact on the way design is shaped to support the care through reviews of case studies on past and current designs within Malaysia and selected few worldwide. The purpose is to provide direction and examples as well as to get feedback on what had worked and what had not when these facilities were in use for future direction

Due to the interest and demand to apply Shariah compliance products in business transactions, with the advent of takaful and its products that cover areas including risks in construction works, it is observed that more Contractors are using Contractor’s All Risks (CAR) Takaful certificates in lieu of the conventional CAR policies. However, the lack of transparency and accountability on the way in which claims for construction works loss and damage were assessed have led to critiques and concerns raised on such issues on CAR Takaful. Consequently, a study with the aim to ascertain transparency and accountability in the practice of assessment of claims for loss and damage under CAR Takaful was conducted via critical review of literature and discussions with the experts of construction, Shariah and insurance/takaful fields. The key results from the study sugg...

Consequently, a host of policies aimed at facilitating achieving economic integration was initiated and implemented commencing 2015. However, published empirical study is scarce especially one that concerns the policies, the awareness, understanding and acceptance by the people of the ASEAN member countries. This paper attempts to patch the presence of such a gap in the literature. Specifically, this paper reports on a study to identify key policies related to the ASEAN Economic Community 2015 and assesses the ASEAN peoples’ awareness and acceptance of the identified policies. The study combined desk research with a questionnaire survey, the latter comprised of respondents carefully drawn from selected member countries of ASEAN. The results from the desk study identified the key policies that would drive ASEAN 2015 while the results from the survey suggest that on the whole the respondents are aware of ASEAN 2015, its po...

The policies relate to almost all sectors of the ASEAN’s economy. In relation to labour mobility, the policy on free movement of skills and unskilled across the 10 member countries of ASEAN may bring economic and non-economic implications to both the host and exporting member countries. However, empirical study on the subject matter is scarce. Consequently, a study employing desk research and a questionnaire survey among respondents from selected member countries of ASEAN was carried out. The findings from the study highlight the potential impacts of labour mobility may have, economically and socially, to both the host and exporting member countries.

Due to geographical situation, Albania was densely frequented by Turkish and Arab missionaries; no matter it was a commercial, religious or military purpose. The Islamization of Albanian Community went all the way through progressive growth as it is reflected from the customs of the community as well as from their architecture. The mosques remained the focal points for teachings of Islam and were considered as the core of the Muslim society as the mosques played the role not only for growing peoples religious needs but also had significant impact on the overall development of the community. From the beginning, the mosques were the places for prayer, meditation, religious instructions, political discussions, and learning places. Unfortunately the role of the mosques at the present time has been minimized only in performing daily prayers and few other religious activities. Hence today the mosques do not play sufficient role in social and cultural developments of the Albanian Muslim community especially the Muslims living in Durres city of Albania. This paper attempts to analyse the social and cultural role of the Great Mosque Duress, Albania and how far it has the impact on the development of the Muslim Community living in Durres. In this regard the case study of Great Mosque of Durres has been conducted to unfold the facts of deterioration of Muslim life style in Durres. Eventually this study will reach to a model design with some necessary added functions so that the new model design of Mosque should play the vital role in revitalizing the Islamic practices as it was observed in the past to develop the Muslim community in Durres, Albania

The Pottery Water Wall is a combination of a Water Wall and Porous Ceramic Pipes for evaporative cooling. First, the study will evaluate the efficiency of the Pottery Water Wall in cooling and heating in the most extreme climatic conditions of winter and summer in Luxor, Egypt. This study will aid determining the ability of the Pottery Water Wall to cool and heat buildings and its ability to achieve thermal comfort. The study found that the Pottery Water Wall's cooling ability ranges between 4°C to 10°C, while its heating ability ranges between 4°C to 15°C. The Pottery Water Wall achieved thermal comfort for 62.5% of a day resembling extreme summer and achieved thermal comfort 62.5% of a day resembling extreme winter. In conclusion, the Pottery Water Wall can reduce cooling and heating demand by 88% at the ext...
