Common Facet

Purpose In Malaysia, Get-Rich-Quick scheme (GRQS) is one of the financial fraud activities prohibited under Malaysian law. The common facet of such schemes involves plans that promise unrealistic rates of returns, and this new scheme continues to proliferate every year as the list of illegal investment companies and websites are growing. Indeed, GRQS will remain proliferating as long as there are people who are easily lured by the promise that wealth can be generated with little skill, effort or time. This paper aims to explain the phenomenon of GRQS in light of the existing laws in Malaysia. This paper also highlights the current development of Australian law pertaining to GRQS for comparative purpose. Design/methodology/approach This paper mainly relies on statutes as its primary sources of information. As such, this paper analyses the scope and provisions of the relevant laws that regulate GRQS and compare the existing GRQS provisions that are equivalent with Australian law. Findings Malaysia has comprehensive laws to combat GRQS activities. However, these laws are far from perfection, and only with immediate amendments, GRQS problems can be resolved more effectively. One of the weaknesses of current Malaysian laws to tackle GRQS is the lack of more stringent punishment against the operators of GRQS as well as the participants of the scheme. A comparison with equivalent GRQS law in Australia demonstrates that Australian laws provide a wide range of punishment to the operators and prohibits participation in GRQS. More importantly, Australia regards the offense as a strict liability offense where the mens rea or guilty mind of the perpetrators is exempted. Indeed, numerous proceedings have been instituted in the Australian Court against the operators and participants of GRQS. Originality/value This paper analyses the scope of relevant laws in Malaysia to combat GRQS and examines the strengths and weaknesses of these laws. This paper also compares Malaysian law with equivalent GRQS-related laws available in Australia. This paper further suggests that Malaysia should regulate sterner punishment for operators and participants of the scheme and that the offense is categorized under a strict liability offense where the mens rea or guilty mind of the offender is exempted.

The causative agent Listeria monocytogenes causes listeriosis, a severe foodborne illness associated with high mortality. Rapid and sensitive methods are required to detect and identify this pathogen in the food production process. The article presents the results of research on the development of technological parameters for the production of biopreparation based on the bacteriophage L. m 4 UlSAU for quick identification of bacteria of the genus Listeria with its help. It was established that for the production of L. m 4 phage of UlSAU with maximum titers, the optimal parameters are: multiplicity of MOI 1 infection, cultivation temperature-28°C, incubation time of the phage/ culture system – 6 hours. Based on these results, we have offered technological scheme for the production of phage biopreparation L. m 4 UlSAU, which includes the following steps: confirmation of biological properties of indicator phage and increasing its titer (if necessary), verification and confirmation of biological properties of indicator culture, production of phage biopreparation and control of its indicators. Accelerated scheme for Listeria identification was offered with the help of prepared biological product based on L. m 4 bacteriophage of UlSAU. The scheme was tested on samples of chicken meat and minced meat semi finished products artificially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria in concentrations 101-105 CFU/ml. It was established that the proposed scheme of listeria identification allows to reduce the duration of studies by 84 hours in comparison with the traditional bacteriological method and to detect listeria at a concentration of 100 CFU/ml (g) in 82 hours. The phagoidentification time at the pure culture typing stage is 18 hours.

AbstractThe establishment by the Real Meat Company of a new ‘brand’ of meat where the quality, purity and welfare are worked up to a standard rather than down to a price is the embodiment of an ‘alternative production system’ for livestock. Any production system needs a market. As a fully independent as well as new company, expansion, development and occasionally survival have depended entirely on how this market can best be served.It is possible to create a secure alternative production system. What is more difficult is to identify correctly the size, loyalty and expectations of the market and find a route to serve them that is convenient. The modern shopper likes easy shopping. No customer likes to take negative attributes into account when choosing a product. Invariably perceived by many as a green get-rich-quick scheme, the controls, attention to detail, complexities of the few retail routes for meat and then portrayal of the ‘message’ to the public have made the Real Meat Company trail at times slow and always arduous. Tor those who support the concept, including the founders, the progress, however difficult, is always rewarding.

Monotonic Convergence

Monotonic convergence of numerical solutions with the computational grid refinement is an essential requirement in estimating the grid-dependent uncertainty of computational fluid dynamics. If the convergence is not monotonic, the solution could be erroneously regarded as convergent at the local extremum with respect to some measure of the error. On the other hand, if the convergence is exactly monotonic, estimation methods such as Richardson extrapolation properly evaluate the uncertainty of numerical solutions. This paper deals with the characterization of numerical schemes based on the property of the monotonic convergence of numerical solutions. Two typical discretization schemes of convective terms were considered; the second-order central difference scheme and the third-order Leonard’s QUICK scheme. A fully developed turbulent flow through a square duct was calculated via a SIMPLER based finite volume method without a turbulence model. The convergence of the numerical solution with the grid refinement was investigated for the mean flow property as well as fluctuations. The comparison of convergence process between the discretization schemes has revealed that the QUICK scheme results in preferable monotonic convergence, while the second-order central difference scheme undergoes non-monotonic convergence. The latter possibly misleads the determination of convergence with the grid refinement, or causes trouble in applying the Richardson extrapolation procedure to estimate the numerical uncertainty.
