Binatang ternak dalam Al-Qur’an : kajian tematik ayat-ayat Al-An’am dengan pendekatan sains

Al-Qur’an menyebutkan beberapa binatang dalam bentuk yang berbeda-beda, Misalnya binatang ternak. Dari semua penyebutan binatang ternak, peneliti memfokuskan pada Q.S. al-An’am yaitu dengan membatasi kata “al-An’am” dalam surat tersebut. dalam Q.S. al- An’am terdapat 165 ayat, akan tetapi dalam surat ini hanya ada 5 ayat yang membahas tentang binatang ternak diantaranya : ayat 136, ayat, 138, ayat 139, ayat 142 dan ayat 143. Dari semua penyebutan jenis binatang ternak dalam al-Qur’an, tentu ada pelajara yang bisa kita peroleh. Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apa saja hikmah dan manfaat dari binatang ternak dalam al-Qur’an. Pada penelitian ini penulis mengunakan jeis penelitian kepustakaan atau library reseach, yaitu dengan menelaah semua sumber data, baik sumber data primer maupun sumber data sekuder. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan skripsi ini adalah metode tematik (maudhu’i ). Hasil penelitian terhadap ayat-ayat al-Qur’an yang berkaitan dengan binatang ternak menyatakan : pertama bahwa dalam tafsir al-misbah dijelaskan bahwa ayat tentang binatang ternak menyimpulkan sanggahan kepada kaum musyrikin bahwa binatang ternak itu diharamkan, tetapi kenyataan pengharaman yang mereka katakan tidak demikian. Ini berarti Allah tidak mungkin mengharamkannya karena, jika Allah yang mengharamkannya pasti tidak akan berbeda-beda karena hukum yang bersumber dari Allah pastilah sama dengan segala hal selama sifat dan keadaanyya sama. Sedangkan dalam tafsir ibnu katsir dijelaskan bahwa tentang kebodohan bangsa arab sebelum islam datang yaitu mereka mengharamkan dari jenis binatang-binatang ternak, tetapi Allah tidak mengharamkan sedikitpun dari itu, seluruhnya diciptakan untuk manusia, baik untuk dimakan, dikendarai dan lain sebagainya. kedua Dalam pendekatan sains, binatang ternak (sapi, kambing, domba, unta) mempunyai sel-sel, jaringan dan strukktur organisme yang berbeda-beda seperti anatomi bintang ternak, morfologi binatang ternak, dan reproduksi hewan ternak baik struktur dalam maupun struktur luar. Isyarat pendekatan ilmiah tentang objek kajian hewan ternak yang diungkapkan oleh al-Qur’an ialah bahwa kajian ini mengajarkan kepada manusia tidak hanya mengambil manfaat dari binatang ternak, tetapi juga mengajarkan bagaiamana mempelajari struktural sel dan organ dalam binatang khususnya binatang ternak dengan penjelasan ayat-ayat al-Qur’an

A facile solid-state heating method for preparation of poly(3,4-ethelenedioxythiophene)/ZnO nanocomposite and photocatalytic activity

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/zinc oxide (PEDOT/ZnO) nanocomposites were prepared by a simple solid-state heating method, in which the content of ZnO was varied from 10 to 20 wt%. The structure and morphology of the composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic activities of the composites were investigated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye in aqueous medium under UV light and natural sunlight irradiation. The FTIR, UV-vis, and XRD results showed that the composites were successfully synthesized, and there was a strong interaction between PEDOT and nano-ZnO. The TEM results suggested that the composites were a mixture of shale-like PEDOT and less aggregated nano-ZnO. The photocatalytic activity results indicated that the incorporation of ZnO nanoparticles in composites can enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of the composites under both UV light and natural sunlight irradiation, and the highest photocatalytic efficiency under UV light (98.7%) and natural sunlight (96.6%) after 5 h occurred in the PEDOT/15wt%ZnO nanocomposite

RESULTATS DU TRAITEMENT DU VOLVULUS DU SIGMOÏDE A N’DJAMENA, TCHAD

The sigmoid colon volvulus is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in Africa. This work aimed to describe the treatment of sigmoid volvulus in N'djamena, Chad. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study realized in the General Surgery Ward of the Hopital General de Référence Nationale of N'Djamena, Chad during the period from 1/1/2010 to 31/12/2014. The records of patients operated during that period were the source of the studied data collection. The study parameters were: age, gender, physical findings and functional signs, para clinical examinations, the presence or not of colonic necrosis, the type of treatment, length of hospital stay, morbidity and mortality. Results: Sixty six cases were retained. The sigmoid volvulus constituted 9% of the operated intestinal obstruction during the study period. They were 64 men (96.7%) and 2 women (3.03%) or a sex ratio of 32/1. The clinical signs were: abdominal pain (91.2%), abdominal distension ( 88.6), and a cessation of stools and gas. (73.6%) Moreover, vomiting was found in 58 % and fever in 29,% of cases. The mean time to diagnosis was 37.7 hours (range 6 hours and 101h). The necrosis rate was 16.6% or 11 cases. The operative techniques were: resection - colostomy according Hartmann in 33 cases (50%); resection followed by immediate colo-colonic anastomosis in 23 cases (34.85%), and a simple untwisting in 10 cases (15.15%). Morbidity was 13.6% represented by two anastomotic leaks in the group of resection anastomosis, 4 parietal wall suppurations, and two medical complications. The average hospital stay was 11.2 days (range 5 days and 58 days). Mortality was 5.4%, and all concerned three patients over 60 years and with comorbidities. Conclusion: In the management of sigmoid volvulus, the Hartmann procedure is the safest method in our context. Ideal colectomy may be propsed in selected cases. The simple untwisting of the colon by laparotomy is not recommended, because of frequent relapses

ISLAMIC BANKING REVOLUTION IN MALAYSIA: A REVIEW

Purpose of the study: The study aims to review the development of Malaysian Islamic banks from year 2008 to 2015 and its role in financing Malaysian economy. Methodology: The sources of data were collectted from Malaysian banks, the reviews of the experience of Islamic banks in Malaysia has been discussed, then this study analysed the roles of Islamic banks in the allocation of resources in the banking system. finally, this study explined the  overall development of performance in Islamic banks in Malaysia. Main Findings and Novelty: The results of this study show that the Malaysian Islamic banks have contributed on the structure of the Malaysian economy; particularly in supporting the SME (small and medium entrepreneurship) industries as well the large projects, which create a good positive impact on Malaysian economy and became one of the main financial sources of Malaysian investment. Applications of this study: Achieving the required requirements for the success of the desired Islamic financial system such as adherence to ethical controls and behavior would reduce the problematic ethical risks and the risks of information asymmetry and emphasis on the importance of participations in the banking system and the need to adopt them

On Parameter Estimation by Aggregated Poisson Observations

We consider the problem of parameter estimation by the observations of inhomogeneous Poisson processes. The intensity function of the process is supposed to be a smooth function with respect to the unknown parameter. We propose a Chi-square statistic on the base of agregated observations and we define a Minimum Chi-square Estimator with the help of this statistics. We show this that estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal. We discuss possible generalizations of the obtained results

Identification of Source Contributions to Air Pollution in Penang Using Factor Analysis

Penang is one of the rapidly developed states in Malaysia with large numbers of population industrial activities, motor vehicles density and development projects.  The concentrations of air pollution parameters in Penang were investigated and analyzed together with meteorological parameters in order to determine their characteristics and contributions to air pollution in Penang using factor analysis (FA).  The air pollution parameters include ground level ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and particulate matters of less than 10 microns in size (PM10) while the meteorological parameters include relative humidity, wind speed and temperature.  The data was obtained from the Department of Environment (DOE) for the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) monitoring station for the period of 10 years from 2004 to 2013.  In this study, concentrations of PM10 was found to be the highest among the air pollutants and the concentrations was at its highest between the months of June to September for almost all years of observation due to the southwest monsoon.  As for the source contributions of air pollutions, O3 and meteorological parameters were found to be the largest contributor to air pollutions in Penang, followed by the traffic emissions and industrial activities
