The Relationship

The Malaysian Property Market Report 2016 reported that Malaysian properties transactions were down, office occupancies were down, and simultaneously unsold units were up. Almost two thirds of the total homes that developers launched remained unsold, comprising 90,491 units at the end of 2016 including of those completed, under construction, and not constructed. In recent years, the declining phenomenon in the property market is getting worse apparently. The reason behind this situation is mainly due to the rising cost of living which causes the purchasing power to be weakened; therefore, to buy a property or even goods for daily use has become difficult as the overall spending power of the Malaysians has decreased. Determining the important factors that impact upon the decision making of the house purchasing process could develop a better understanding for both buyers and home providers which eventually could avoid the ‘unsold’ properties scenario in the market. Hence, the objective of this research is to evaluate the relationship between the three main factors identified which are financial, location, and neighbourhood towards the housing preferences of homebuyers in Kuala Lumpur. A total of 100 respondents, ranged between 25 to 34 years old, responded to the survey, and the results were derived using the multiple regression analysis. The results favour the locational factors that contribute significantly to the determination of a buyer’s preferences when purchasing a house.

The article is devoted to the problems of disturbed lands that are part of urban territories, the need for reclamation and the creation of recreational spaces based on them. There are a large number of quarries on the territory of the Belgorod region, many of which are no longer functioning and they need to be transformed. The work in this direction entails an improvement in the environmental situation, increases the quality of the urban environment and makes these objects attractive for investment. The authors consider the main factors affecting the reclamation of the territory, analyze the types of soil and identify the relationship of geodesy with the architectural component of reclamation, present foreign and domestic experience in solving problems related to disturbed lands, comply a table of the main quarries of the Belgorod region in order to identify features characteristic of this region. As a result of the research, proposals and methods are put forward, taking into account regional peculiarities, for the reclamation of a chalk quarry in order to create a recreational space and then integrate it into the forest park framework in Belgorod, which will lead to an improvement in the environmental situation and aesthetic perception of the city as a whole.

In Malaysia, the introduction of the Islamic calligraphy, especially after the spread of Islam in the 14th century has impacted on the further development of decorative art in the built environment. While Islamic calligraphy has witnessed significant developments in the past decades, it still lacks a profiling classification system of calligraphy scripts that give impact to the contemporary mosque. The objectives of the study are to analyse the visual qualities of the calligraphy scripts in the mosque components and its compositional categories and to determine the relationship between the calligraphy placement and the mosque architecture within the interior and exterior fabrics of the buildings. This research involved an analytical review of the Islamic calligraphy found in the 10 selected mosques in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and their depiction in various components. Face-to-face interviews with the mosque authorities and local calligraphers on the types and styles of scripts used in the mosque components were conducted as a complementary measure to the analytical method. The analysis reveals the application of cursive and angular style of scripts, fabricated in specified shapes, sizes and dimensions of the mosque components. Selection and depiction of calligraphy, especially in Thuluth and Kufi scripts suggest their strong preference to the traditional major styles ranging from its composition to the determination of its positional layout regardless of differences in the mosque architecture style.

Abstract Factors affecting biological variation in total cholinesterase activity in plasma were studied in a population of 3372 apparently healthy subjects at least four years old. Determination of the dibucaine number, after inhibition of the activity by dibucaine, made it possible to specify the contributions of genetic and physiological characteristics to variations in the total activities by using a statistical method of segmentation. The main factors modifying plasma cholinesterase activity in males are genetic status (dibucaine number) and degree of overweight (subscapular skinfold). In females, hormonal status (puberty or menopause), genetic status (dibucaine number), and the use of oral contraceptives are the factors mainly responsible for the variations of plasma cholinesterase activity. These data allow us to propose reference limits for total plasma cholinesterase.
