TERAPI JIWA MENURUT AL GHAZALI: TUMPUAN KEPADA AMALAN DAN KEPENTINGAN TAFAKUR

Abstrak: Tafakur adalah satu amalan yang amat penting dalam menyediakan jiwa yang sejahtera dan boleh disifatkan sebagai kunci kepada segala amal salih sama ada amal zahir atau amal batin. Ini adalah kerana sesuatu amalan tidak akan dapat dilaksanakan dengan sempurna melainkan kebaikannya dapat dilihat terlebih dahulu dengan jelas di dalam hati. Kejelasan kebaikan sesuatu amalan akan terserlah menerusi amalan tafakur yang akan menjadikan hati terang diselubungi nur makrifat. Dari sudut yang lain tafakur memperlihatkan kepentingan ilmu kasbi yang kebiasaannya diperolehi menerusi cara belajar dan membaca. Amalan tafakur tidak mungkin dapat dilaksanakan dengan berkesan tanpa kewujudan premis ilmu yang menjadi asas untuk membuahkan ilmu yang baru. Bertitik tolak dari ilmu ini akan mencetuskan perubahan ahwal hati yang akan membawa kepada peningkatan kuantiti dan kualiti amalan sama ada zahir atau batin yang melayakkan seseorang disifatkan sebagai hamba Allah SWT yang sebenar.Kata Kunci: terapi jiwa, al-ghazali, tafaku

Systems success measurement: instrument & framework a new perspective

There are major concerns regarding the previous research that can be said as having poor measurements, lack of theoretical grounding, and concern heavily on investment justifies. Some are also considered as having weak survey instruments, inappropriate data collection approaches, and lack of agreement on the dependent variables measurement that resulted in its incompatibility. Several related issues pertaining to high rates of systems’ failure that justify the heavy investment costs and affect the systems’ success of measurement. This matter had raised a high concern, especially for the researchers, practitioners, organization managers and systems administrators. Thus, the successful measurement of any systems is vital. The purpose of this study is to provide a framework and a high-quality validated instrument based on the literature review and experts’ validation. Subsequently, it can be used in the future studies to efficiently assist in the systems’ success measurement. The statistical test of 344 users with the smart PLS for the instrument shows an excellent result

Nias-mukalla web based systems success measurement and students satisfaction evaluation based on security factor of systems quality engineering theory (ISO 25010) and other factors

Latest studies reported that systems success measure suffers from mix of results and limited models that help in success measurement and evaluation. Because of systems models are domain specific and context related, there is a dire need for taking the measure to other perspectives like using related external factors such as management support or using software engineering theories such as ISO 25010. This study aimed to move the measure from a business perspective to other perspectives. This study investigated NIAS-Mukalla student satisfaction based on security, management support, computer anxiety and usefulness. All these independent variables found to be positively and significantly affected the satisfaction of the users. NIAS-Mukalla students were satisfied with the web-based systems

Green synthesis and characterization of gelatin-based and sugar-reduced silver nanoparticles

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been successfully prepared with simple and “green” synthesis method by reducing Ag+ ions in aqueous gelatin media with and in the absence of glucose as a reducing agent. In this study, gelatin was used for the first time as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The effect of temperature on particle size of Ag-NPs was also studied. It was found that with increasing temperature the size of nanoparticles is decreased. It was found that the particle size of Ag-NPs obtained in gelatin solutions is smaller than in gelatin–glucose solutions, which can be related to the rate of reduction reaction. X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible spectra, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy revealed the formation of monodispersed Ag-NPs with a narrow particle size distribution

The Impact Of Road Pavement On Urban Heat Island (UHI) Phenomenon

An urban heat island (UHI) is a climatic phenomenon caused by modifications to the climate due to changes in the form and composition of the land surface and atmosphere. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of road pavement types for mitigating or intensifying UHI. This study was conducted in the Kota Samarahan area. Since Kota Samarahan is classified as a suburban area, it is still a developing district. Hence, there is still an opportunity for proper planning, such as choosing the most suitable type of pavement, before this area becomes a UHI. Data was collected by studying four types of pavements (asphalt, concrete, permeable, and industrialised building system (IBS) StormPav) in terms of their characteristics, performance, and maintenance costs. Additionally, their surface temperatures were investigated using ThermaCam and then plotted against the surrounding air temperature. Interview sessions were also conducted with the personnel of Jabatan Kerja Raya to obtain valuable information for this research. As a result, this study found that the construction of asphalt pavement can produce numerous potential impacts on the environment, which further contribute to air pollution and the UHI effect. Concrete, permeable, and IBS StormPav pavements retained less heat compared to asphalt, and can be implement to mitigate the UHI phenomenon. Furthermore, the implementation of green walls, cool roofs, vegetation and trees, and altering the properties and construction of asphalt pavement can help in mitigating this phenomenon

Effect of economic vulnerability on entrepreneurial competencies among Malaysian micro-entrepreneurs

Purpose - This study aims to investigate the impact of economic vulnerability upon entrepreneurial competencies (i.e. commitment competency, conceptual competency, opportunity recognition competency, organizing competency, relationship competency and strategic competency) among respondents from varied development initiatives established by the eKasih program (National Poverty Data Bank) in Peninsular Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach - Upon adopting the cross-sectional design, data were randomly gathered from selected 300 micro-entrepreneurs from the list of development organizations available in the eKasih (National Poverty Data Bank), located at four states in Peninsular Malaysia. The quantitative data were gathered by performing structured interview sessions from September until November 2017. Findings - The outcomes of the study displayed that economic vulnerability has a significantly negative effect upon commitment, opportunity recognition, organizing and strategic competency. On the other hand, the results showcased that economi c vulnerability has a significantly positive effect on competency, but insignificantly positive impact upon conceptual competency. Originality/value - These study outcomes appear to extend the scope of the resource-based view, apart from enriching the existing entrepreneurial competency literature, particularly within the Malaysian context. Hence, it is recommended that the government of Malaysia and development organizations should focus on maximizing the level of competency among micro-entrepreneurs as a viable approach to decrease the effect of economic vulnerability
