Survey dataset of Malaysian perception on rising cost of living.

ABSTRACT: The introduction of good and services tax (GST) that has replaced the sales and services tax (SST) had contributed to the rising cost of living in Malaysia. The focus of this research was to present a data article on the response and perception of Malaysian households about the increasing cost of living. A descriptive research design was adopted in this study. Data were obtained from randomly selected 751 respondents of households across Malaysia. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using tables and percentages. The findings show the negative perceptions of Malaysian households on the increase in the cost of living. There are various causes of the rising cost of living and can be inferred based on the perspective of income changes, price changes and patterns household consumption expenditure.

Survey dataset on the level of sustainable consumption of Malaysian households from the perspective of income and consumption expenditure.

Project description:Unsustainable consumption promotes discouraging patterns of consumption with negative impacts on society. It also contributes to inequalities and poverty. Unsustainable patterns of production and consumption undermine development goals in terms of inefficiency and overconsumption. This research explores the level of sustainable consumption of Malaysian households from the perspective of income and consumption expenditure. The analysis is based on cross-sectional data obtained from questionnaires distributed to 635 Malaysian households in eight districts in Terengganu (urban and rural areas) using stratified random sampling. The findings show that the level of sustainable consumption expenditure of Muslim households in Terengganu is still low. Achieving sustainable consumption patterns is more technically and politically complex than changing production patterns because it raises important issues such as human values, equity and lifestyle choices.

Dataset on leaching properties of coal ashes from Malaysian coal power plant.

Project description:Coal combustion by-products (CCPs) (i.e. fly (FA) and bottom (BA) ashes) generated by power plants contain heavy metals. This research presents leaching properties of coal ashes (FA and BA) collected from Jimah coal-fired power station, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan using USEPA standard methods namely toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), and synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP). Heavy metals like lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and arsenic (As) were quantified using atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). The leached of heavy metals fluxes were Cu < Zn < Pb < As. As leached the most whilst indicating of possible contamination from As. Overall, the ranges of leached concentration were adhered to permissible limits of hazardous waste criteria for metal (Pb and As) and industrial effluent (Zn and Cu). The presented data has potential reuse as reference for the coal ash concrete mixed design application in construction industries.

Dataset for assessing the efficiency factors in Malaysian ports: Dry bulk terminal.

Project description:This research paper provides for the identification of dry bulk terminal efficiencies on the basis of 10 key performance factors in Malaysian ports. Data were collected from 18 dry bulk ports in Malaysia in 2017 through an online questionnaire and distributed via e-mail. The dispersion of the respondents corresponds approximately to the structure of the Malaysian maritime terminal in dry bulk. The data provides port management perceptions towards 10 variables that have been surveyed. Each perception assessed the level of efficiency factors based on a percentage rate of 100%. Efficiency factors in dry bulk terminals have been identified with varying characteristics based on a descriptive analysis table. The dataset presented consists of a brief analysis of all 10 variables involved, including the minimum, maximum, mean, interquartile median and standard deviation. In addition to the descriptive analysis, the normality test and histogram were also performed. Data can be used to measure ports-efficiency factors in another research.

Dataset on farmers' perception of commodity futures market.

Project description:The commodity futures market plays a major role in reducing the price risk for the participants. Unfortunately, the farmers' participation in the futures market particularly from the Tamil Nadu region is very less. A survey was conducted using the interview method to identify the information sources used by farmers for taking pricing decisions, the awareness and perception of farmers towards the futures market, and its effect on preferred marketing alternatives. The data cleaning process was done using content validity, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability test using Cronbach's alpha, and the assumptions of normality and multicollinearity were examined. The data will be of potential use to researchers who wish to explore farmers' behavior towards hedging in the commodity futures market.

A survey dataset on the perception of public-sector corruption in Mauritius and a framework analysis of corruption court cases.

Project description:This data article provides research data on the perception of public-sector corruption in Mauritius, captured using a survey questionnaire as well as a thematic framework for the analysis of corruption court cases prosecuted by the national anti-corruption body, namely, the Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC). A sequential mixed methods design was adopted. First, a quantitative approach was used, whereby a questionnaire was developed and administered on 600 persons to gauge public opinion on the perceived seriousness of the phenomenon of public-sector corruption in the country while at the same time recording citizens' perceived effectiveness of the ICAC in its fight against public corruption in Mauritius. Second, to cross-validate the quantitative findings on the perceived effectiveness of the ICAC in fulfilling its mandate as an anti-corruption agency, a content analysis of court judgments prosecuted by ICAC from 2002 to 2018, was conducted to find out whether or not the respondents' perceptions of the prosecutorial efficacy of the ICAC was justified. The questionnaire, the raw dataset as well as the analysis of court judgments can be downloaded from the Mendeley Data repository (https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/h8k5ghvhgh/1). The data may be reused for similar research in other parts of the world. The research findings have been published in The International Journal of Law, Crime, and Justice.
