Esensi Metode Pendidikan Islam

It is strongly connected to the strategies used throughout the teaching and learning process in education. A teacher has to master the technique in order to meet the predetermined objectives. Students will learn the required lesson material if the proper techniques are used, in line with the subject matter, the circumstances, and the current conditions. After realising the value of approaches and techniques in education, educators must be skilled in creating these strategies. Education professionals need to be aware of the benefits and drawbacks of each approach being utilised if they want to encourage students to be more critical and participatory in the learning process. The fact that pupils get their intended outcome with this strategy is the most crucial factor. This study's aim is to explain the kind of instructional practises used in Islamic schools.

قياس قيم الضجيج التي يتعرض لها حديثو الولادة في غرفة حواضن

تعتبر غرف الحاضنات للأطفال حديثي الولادة من أكثر البيئات تعرضاً للضجيج بسبب الكادر والتجهيزات ذات الإنذارات الصوتية. ويعتبر التعرض للضجيج مسبباً لمخاطر تتعلق بتطور الجهاز السمعي، زيادة معدل التنفس وضربات القلب، ارتفاع ضغط الدم والتوتر. ويهدف البحث لقياس مستوى الشدة الصوتية (الضجيج) وتحسين البيئة الصوتية داخل غرفة الحاضنات موضوع البحث. وسنحاول في هذه الدراسة التعرف على الخصائص الفيزيائية للصوت وكيفية قياس الضجيج في إحدى غرف الحاضنات في إحدى المستشفيات، لتحديد قيم الضجيج في الغرفة خلال فترات زمنية وحالات مختلفة. محاولين تحديد الأماكن الأكثر تعرضاً للضجيج، ومصادر هو مقارنة قيم مستويات الضجيج مع القيم المعيارية الموضوعة من قبل الأكاديمية الأمريكية لطب الأطفال AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics)؛ وذلك لحماية الأطفال والكادر من التعرض لها. انطلقنا في هذا البحث من مجموعة من الدراسات السابقة التي أجريت في غرف حاضنات الأطفال. استخدمنا لقياس الضجيج أربعة أجهزة قياس لمستوى الشدة الصوتية، وقد تبين أن أغلب القيم المقاسة تتجاوز القيم المعيارية الموضوعة من قبل الأكاديمية الأمريكية لطب الأطفال AAP. لذا كان من الواجب زيادة الوعي حول الآثار السلبية للضجيج داخل غرف حواضن الأطفال، وتنفيذ برامج لتخفيضها

Confining spaces, resistant subjectivities: toward a metachronous discourse of literary mapping and transformation in postcolonial women's writing

This thesis takes as its starting point Chandra Talpade Mohanty’s argument that it is the way in which “Third World” women’s narratives are read and understood that is crucial, together with the need to locate them contextually. My original contribution to knowledge is to develop a deconstructive, cultural analysis through the re–reading of a selection of core postcolonial women’s texts written in former colonial societies, at a time prior to the full emergence of postcolonialism as a set of theoretical concepts and before feminism had developed its major contribution to academic scholarship. These theories are examined in the first three chapters of the thesis. This re–reading is of texts which arguably prefigured in many ways some of the main debates later articulated in postcolonial feminist criticism, thus (re–)interpreting them through a contemporary, critical lens. The objective of the textual analysis, among other things, is to underline the function of literary mapping in postcolonial women’s writing and the ways in which this resonates with key issues in postcolonial feminist studies. For example, the texts subvert the figure of the “universal woman” challenged by several critics, undermine images of women’s sameness, and transform marginalising spaces such as prison and home into sites of possible resistance. Overall, the main contribution of this thesis is twofold. Firstly, the interpretation of postcolonial women’s writing as a metachronous discourse of literary mapping in order to reclaim rather than deny the difference and complexity inherent in women’s texts and identities. This lends a wider dimension to the literary representations of women and justifies my attempt to order the texts as following an inverted rite of passage. Secondly, this thesis demonstrates that postcolonial women’s writing constitutes a discourse of literary activism and a cultural archive of prismatic female narratives which demands a responsive reading of the texts. This is to form a collective, critical consciousness from which, it is hoped, present and future communities of women can learn to change their lives

Online banking operations management: security concerns on trust in mobile banking system

This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University LondonWhile trust is considered a central aspect of the success of mobile banking systems, privacy and security concerns are seen as the biggest obstacles to building trust in this system. Due to the high level of perceived risk, it is critical for mobile banking managers to reduce the effect of these concerns and foster users’ trust in order to increase the adoption of this service. However, while existing studies have identified the antecedents to trust and their direct effect on it, we still do not know how a persuasive message, which includes privacy and security polices of the mobile banking services, can change trust in this service and how privacy and security concerns play a role in this persuasion process. Determining the variables that are related to developing trust in mobile banking services is crucial in the development of successful tools to improve the consumption of this service. Therefore, this study has set out to investigate and explain the persuasion process used to increase trust in the mobile banking system, with a focus on privacy and security concerns. In particular, it is argued that security and privacy concerns play a positive moderating role in the persuasion process. In particular, this study has involved developing and testing a framework built on the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), which is one of the most widely used theoretical frameworks for explaining how peoples’ attitudes are affected by persuasive messages. Thus, built on the ELM, this thesis tests the effect of both the quality of the argument and the credibility of the source of trust. Source credibility includes two common dimensions, which are source expertise and trustworthiness. Security and privacy concerns are added as moderators to test whether they affect the link between the argument of quality and trust. The research framework has been implemented with a sample of 358 mobile banking users in the UK. By using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 20, the data analysis shows significant support for the research model. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to this growing area of research by developing a theoretical model based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model for trust in mobile banking, which could significantly extend the reliability and validity of the previous research. The result of the current research is important for mobile banking managers. It will help to increase trust in this service, which will provide benefits to users and banks alike

Microwave-assisted synthesis of levulinic acid from low-cost, sustainable feedstocks using organic acids as green catalysts

BACKGROUND: Modern day scientific endeavour strives towards global sustainability through the smart utilisation of renewable resources as base materials for chemicals. Until now, the most common commercial process to produce levulinic acid (a mass-produced platform chemical) depends on a two-stage mineral acid-catalysed reaction, which generates harmful environmental waste. In this work, an environmentally friendly levulinic acid production route using less harmful organic acids assisted by microwave heating from biomass feedstocks is reported for the first time. RESULTS: Using aluminum sulfate as a green Lewis acid catalyst and seven organic acids, levulinic acid was successfully produced from barley straw under microwave heating, with maleic acid giving the highest catalytic conversion. A Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach was used to rapidly and effectively examine the effect of five reaction variables on the productivity of the levulinic acid. A wide range of different biomass wastes (barley straw, brewery waste, olive cake, spent tea leaves and potato, tomato, and mandarin peels) were subsequently screened to produce the levulinic acid. The highest yield of 86 wt% based on cellulose content from mandarin peel (a value comparable to a lengthier ‘non-green’ route) was achieved under the following optimized reaction conditions: 180 °C, 38 min, 2 M maleic acid concentration, 0.1 g Al 2(SO 4) 3 and 1:22 biomass: maleic acid ratio (g mL −1). CONCLUSIONS: The proposed method is a promising new route towards the green, high yield production of levulinic acid from a variety of agricultural and household lignocellulosic biomass wastes, without the need for pre-treatment
