Generally, the international second home retirement develops from the need for better life quality of the ageing population globally. ‘Malaysia My Second Home’ (MM2H) is an international second home scheme that aims to attract inbound retiree market in Malaysia. This study explores the retirement motivations and their influences on ISH decision using the combination of push-pull travel motivation theory and tri-reference point theory, while simultaneously comparing the British and the Japanese retirees. We in-depth interviewed twenty six MM2H participants and content analyzed the data with qualitative NVivo software. Other than common motivations shared by both groups, there are also distinct differences, especially with regards to environmental preference and risk taking. Only two motives fit into all the three elements of tri-reference point, with most motives are either explained by a single or dual-reference point. Based on the findings, the study proposes its knowledge, marketing, and managerial implications.

Comparison is fundamental to the practice and subject-matter of philosophy, but has received scant attention by philosophers. This is even so in “comparative philosophy,” which literally distinguishes itself from other philosophy by being “comparative.” In this article, the need for a philosophy of comparison is suggested. What we compare with what, and in what respect it is done, poses a series of intriguing and intricate questions. In Part One, I offer a problematization of the tertium comparationis (the third of comparison) by examining conceptualizations of similarity, family resemblance, and analogy, which it is sometimes argued can do without a tertium comparationis. In Part Two, I argue that a third of comparison is already required to determine what is to be compared, and insofar as that determination precedes the comparison that tertium may be called “pre-comparative.” This leads me to argue against incomparability and to show how anything can indeed be compared to anything. In Part Three, I relate my arguments to what is today commonly labelled “comparative philosophy.” Finally, I raise some questions of ontology and politics in order to demonstrate the relevance of a philosophy of comparison.

Biodiesel fuels have the potential to become a reliable substitute for diesel which is used moderately to meet the current energy demands. This fuel can be produced from new or used vegetable oils, non-edible sources and animal fats, which are non-toxic, biodegradable and renewable. In spite of the many advantages of using biodiesel, most of the researchers have reported that they produce higher NOx emissions compared to diesel, which is a deterrent to the market expansion of these fuels. In this study, the different paths to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engines by applying several technologies, such as using additives into fuel, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), water injection (WI), emulsion technology (ET), injection timing retardation (ITR), simultaneous technology (ST) and low temperature combustion (LTC) mode are reviewed briefly. The impacts of different NOx mitigation technologies on biodiesel-fueled diesel engine performance and emissions are also analyzed critically and different methods of their implementation are shown. This paper also provides a comparison of different NOx mitigation technologies based on previous articles related to this topic. From this comparative study, it was found that the average reduction of NOx emissions by using additives, EGR, WI & ET, ITR, ST and LTC are in the ranges 4-45%, 26-84%, 10-38%, 9.77-37%, 22-95% and 66-93% respectively, compared to biodiesel combustion without applying technologies. However, the average reduction of NOx emissions by using those technologies for biodiesel are reasonable, 36-46%, 3-34%, 21-37%, 33-92% and 8.68-70% respectively, when compared to diesel. The results of this paper show that using new NOx mitigation technology, such as LTC, is more efficient and promising than the others because of its having the capability to reduce both NOx and particulate matter (PM) emissions simultaneously without significant penalties with regard to engine performance. However, applying this technology has increased CO and HC emissions in several cases due to the reduction in their oxidation rates in the combustion chamber. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
