Analisis Komunikasi Dakwah Dalam Khutbah Jumat Menurut Teori Lasswell Terhadap Jemaah Di Masjid Jami At-Taqwa Desa Mekarjaya Kecamatan Gantar

This study examines the problems in the Friday sermon, because the preaching message conveyed by the preacher cannot be well received by the congregation. The problems that arise are the way the preacher is delivered that is less than optimal and the behavior of the congregation does not reflect as a good recipient of the message. This research method uses a qualitative approach, through interview techniques to 4 preachers and 12 congregations, as well as observation and documentation techniques. The results of this study indicate that the da'wah communication carried out by the preacher in the Friday sermon is not optimal, because the message of his da'wah does not reach the congregation. The obstacles in carrying out the Friday sermon according to Lasswell's theory at the Jami At-Taqwa Mosque are that the preacher is less prepared before delivering the Friday sermon so that the message conveyed is not acceptable to the congregation, the media used does not function properly, and the congregation has various reasons. All these things have an impact on the disruption of the da'wah communication process in the Friday sermon which ultimately makes the message of da'wah not well absorbed by the congregation at the Jami At-Taqwa Mosque, Mekarjaya Village, Gantar District.Keywords: Analysis; Da'wah Communication; Friday Sermon; Lasswell Theory AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji permasalahan dalam khutbah Jumat, karena pesan dakwah yang disampaikan khatib tidak dapat diterima dengan baik oleh jemaah. Permasalahan yang muncul yaitu cara penyampaian khatib yang kurang maksimal dan tingkah laku jemaah yang tidak mencerminkan sebagai penerima pesan yang baik. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, melalui teknik wawancara kepada 4 khatib dan 12 jemaah, juga dengan teknik observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi dakwah yang dilakukan khatib dalam khutbah Jumat belum optimal, karena pesan dakwahnya tersebut tidak sampai kepada jemaah. Adapun hambatan dalam pelaksanaan khutbah Jumat menurut teori Lasswell di Masjid Jami At-Taqwa yaitu khatibnya kurang mempersiapkan diri sebelum membawakan khutbah Jumat sehingga pesan yang disampaikan kurang bisa diterima jemaah, media yang digunakan tidak berfungsi dengan baik, dan jemaahnya yang memiliki berbagai macam alasan. Semua hal tersebut berdampak pada terganggunya proses komunikasi dakwah dalam khutbah Jumat yang akhirnya membuat pesan dakwahnya tidak terserap dengan baik oleh jemaah di Masjid Jami At-Taqwa, Desa Mekarjaya, Kecamatan Gantar.Kata Kunci: Analisis, Komunikasi Dakwah, Khutbah Jumat, Teori Lasswel

Pola Asuh Orang Tua Demokratis, Efikasi-diri Dan Kreativitas Remaja

Research for studies both simultaneous or partial correlations of democratic parenting and self-efficacy to creativity. Subject are 123 mid adolescence (60 boys and 63 girls), ages from 16 to 18 years old. Data taken from scales of C.O.R.E for creativity, P.A.O.D. for democratic parenting and ED-G for self-efficacy. Result of simultaneous test it R = 0,384, F = 10,349, p = 0,000 (p < 0,05). Democratic parenting and self-efficacy simultaneously and significant would have predicting creativity. R2 = 0,147 refer that 14,7% varians proportion on creativity would hava explained from democratic parenting and self-efficacy, othre for 85,3% could explained from other factors that not self-efficacy. Constant of 146,671 is score of creativity if no democratic parenting and self-efficacy. Result of partial test of democratic parenting t = 0,420, p = 0,675 (p > 0,05). Democratic parenting partially wasn't correlated with creativity. Result of partial test of self-efficacy t = 4,534, p = 0,000 (p < 0,05). Self-efficacy partially was significantly positive correlated with creativity. The findings are disscussed in terms of their implications for mid adolescent context

Frequency of etiologies of acute kidney injury in Faisalabad and surrounding districts

Background: To find out the causes of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in population.Methods: A total of 150 patients were enrolled from medical, surgical, gynecology and obstetrics units of Allied Hospital and Madinah Teaching Hospital, Faisalabad, Pakistan. History, physical examination and investigations were recorded on specially designed proforma. Patients were evaluated to find out the etiologies of AKI. All patients were subjected to urine analysis, complete blood count, blood biochemistry (urea, creatinine, electrolytes, uric acid, calcium and phosphorus) and ultrasound scan of the abdomen and pelvis. Renal biopsy, immunological assays, such as hepatitis B surface antigen, anti-hepatitis C virus antibody, complements level, antinuclear antibody, anti-double-stranded DNA, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody and anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody were performed in selected cases.Results: Male (36%) and female (64%). Pre-renal AKI was most common and was reported in 80 patients (53.33%). Intrinsic Renal azotemia in 56 patients (37.33%). Post renal azotemia in 14 patients (9.33%). Among 80 patients of prerenal AKI, hemorrhage in 45(56.25%), gastroenteritis in 16(20%), sepsis in 8(10%), cardiac diseases in 4(5%), hepatorenal syndrome in 3 (3.75%), peritonitis in 2 (2.50%) and burns in 2(2.50%) were the main causes of Pre-renal AKI. Among 56 patients of intrinsic renal AKI, 40(71.4%) had acute tubular necrosis (ATN), 12(21.4%) with multifactorial causes and 4(7.14%) were found to have glomerulonephritis. Among 14 patients of post renal AKI, 6(42.9%) were having calculi, 6(42.9%) were to have enlarged prostate and 2(4.3%) were having stricture urethra. In this study, contribution of obstetrical, medical and surgical etiologies were recorded as 40%, 36% and 20% respectively.Conclusions: In contrast to study reported from neighbouring country, this study shows rather increase in pregnancy related AKI

SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Seroprevalence in Jakarta, Indonesia

The SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics in low- and middle-income countries remain poorly understood. This study aimed to estimate the SARS-CoV-2 antibodies seroprevalence in Jakarta, Indonesia, and to increase knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in urban settings. A population-based serosurvey among individuals aged one year or older was conducted in Jakarta. Employing a multistage sampling design, samples were stratified by district, slum, and non-slum residency, sex, and age group. Blood samples were tested for IgG against three different SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Seroprevalence was estimated after applying sample weights and adjusting for cluster characteristics. In March 2021, this study collected 4,919 respondents. The weighted estimate of seroprevalence was 44.5% (95% CI = 42.5-46.5). Seroprevalence was highest among adults aged 30-49 years, with higher seroprevalence in women and the overweight/obese group. Respondents residing in slum areas were 1.3-fold more likely to be seropositive than non-slum residents. It was estimated that4,717,000 of Jakarta's 10.6 million residents had prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. This suggests that approximately 10 infections were undiagnosed/underreported for every reported case. About one year after the first COVID-19 case was confirmed, close to half of Jakarta's residents have been infected by SARS-CoV-2

Regionally Specific White Matter Disruptions of Fornix and Cingulum in Schizophrenia

Limbic circuitry disruptions have been implicated in the psychopathology and cognitive deficits of schizophrenia, which may involve white matter disruptions of the major tracts of the limbic system, including the fornix and the cingulum. Our study aimed to investigate regionally specific abnormalities of the fornix and cingulum in schizophrenia using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We determined the fractional anisotropy (FA), radial diffusivity (RD), and axial diffusivity (AD) profiles along the fornix and cingulum tracts using a fibertracking technique and a brain mapping algorithm, the large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM), in the DTI scans of 33 patients with schizophrenia and 31 age-, gender-, and handedness-matched healthy controls. We found that patients with schizophrenia showed reduction in FA and increase in RD in bilateral fornix, and increase in RD in left anterior cingulum when compared to healthy controls. In addition, tract-based analysis revealed specific loci of these white matter differences in schizophrenia, that is, FA reductions and AD and RD increases occur in the region of the left fornix further from the hippocampus, FA reductions and RD increases occur in the rostral portion of the left anterior cingulum, and RD and AD increases occur in the anterior segment of the left middle cingulum. In patients with schizophrenia, decreased FA in the specific loci of the left fornix and increased AD in the right cingulum adjoining the hippocampus correlated with greater severity of psychotic symptoms. These findings support precise disruptions of limbic-cortical integrity in schizophrenia and disruption of these structural networks may contribute towards the neural basis underlying the syndrome of schizophrenia and clinical symptomatology

Arcuate Fasciculus Abnormalities and Their Relationship with Psychotic Symptoms in Schizophrenia

Disruption of fronto-temporal connections involving the arcuate fasciculus (AF) may underlie language processing anomalies and psychotic features such as auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia. No study to date has specifically investigated abnormalities of white matter integrity at particular loci along the AF as well as its regional lateralization in schizophrenia. We examined white matter changes (fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (AD), asymmetry indices) along the whole extent of the AF and their relationship with psychotic symptoms in 32 males with schizophrenia and 44 healthy males. Large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping and Fiber Assignment Continuous Tracking were employed to characterize FA and AD along the geometric curve of the AF. Our results showed that patients with schizophrenia had lower FA in the frontal aspects of the left AF compared with healthy controls. Greater left FA and AD lateralization in the temporal segment of AF were associated with more severe positive psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia. Disruption of white matter integrity of the left frontal AF and accentuation of normal left greater than right asymmetry of FA/AD in the temporal AF further support the notion of aberrant fronto-temporal connectivity in schizophrenia. AF pathology can affect corollary discharge of neural signals from frontal speech/motor initiation areas to suppress activity of auditory cortex that may influence psychotic phenomena such as auditory hallucinations and facilitate elaboration of delusional content
