This study examines the effect of firm internal and external characteristics on risk reporting practices among the Malaysian public listed firms. Specifically, this study focuses on three internal characteristics namely, duality of board leadership, the presence of stand-alone risk management committee, and length of CEO tenure and external characteristics namely, competition, debt governance and auditor quality on the risk reporting practices among the Malaysian public listed firms. Using, content analysis on 200 top public listed firms in Bursa Malaysia, this study shows that one of the external characteristics namely, debt governance significantly influence risk disclosure among the Malaysian public listed firms. This study however, shows that none of the internal characteristics influence risk disclosure among the Malaysian public listed firms. The finding of this study provide further understanding on the nature of risk disclosure of Malaysian public listed firms.

Information dissemination across the supply chain to consumers about chemicals’ hazardous properties and presence in consumer products has been recognized as insufficient to improve to enable both producers and end-users to avoid hazardous chemicals and to manage risks to human health and the environment. A comparative analysis of the information requirements in four EU legislations (the CLP, the Cosmetics regulation, REACH, and the Toys Safety Directive) and three US legislations (California's Proposition 65 and Senate Bill 509, and the national TSCA) was conducted with the aim of studying to what extent existing regulatory information approaches require information to be disseminated to consumers. In general, the European legislations address and promote consumers’ access to information on chemicals in products more comprehensively than the American legislations, but the amount and type of information required to be disseminated to consumers varies widely. These differences include which chemicals are prioritised, if the chemical is used in a mixture or an article, what information dissemination strategies are used, and who is responsible for consumers accessing the information. It is recommended that chemical information policies should, at minimum, require chemical suppliers to inform consumers of hazardous chemicals present in their products and, if possible, recommend risk management measures to ensure a safe use of consumer products.

The objective of this study is to examine the determinants of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) adoption in Malaysian Public Listed Companies (PLCs). The study focuses on ten industries from five hundred and seventy four Public Listed Companies in Malaysia for the period 2007. These ten industries include industrial products, trading/services, consumer products, properties, constructions, plantations, infrastructure projects, technology, hotels and mining. Logit regression approach will be employed, and a dummy variable equals one if companies adopt ERM and zero otherwise, is used as the dependent variable. Seven independent variables used are Size, Leverage, Profitability, International Diversification, Ownership, Chief Risk Officer and Turnover. The main results of this research is that companies with high turnover, hiring Chief Risk Officer and companies that are not diversified internationally are more likely to adopt ERM. Interestingly, Size, Leverage, Profitability, and Ownership are not significant determinants of ERM practices.

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from all three waveband regions of the UV spectrum, UVA (320-400 nm), UVB (290-320 nm), and UVC (200-290 nm), can be emitted by some medical devices and consumer products. Sunlamps can expose the blood to a considerable amount of UVR, particularly UVA and/or UVB. The percent transmission of each waveband through the epidermis to the dermis, which contains blood, increases in the order of increasing wavelength: UVC (10%) < UVB (20%) < UVA (30%). To investigate the effects of UVR on white blood cells, we chose transmission electron microscopy to examine the ultrastructure changes in L5178Y-R murine lymphoma cells.
