Efektivitas Penggunaan Metode Iqra’ Untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Membaca Al-Qur’an Bagi Siswa Muallaf

This study examines the effectiveness of using the iqra' method to improve the ability to read the Qur'an to convert students at Assalam Islamic Solidarity School in Jantho City. Based on the facts in the field, the convert students who are already young have not been able to read the Qur'an well. This institution seeks to improve the quality of convert students in the Qur'an reading, which aims to be one of the motivations for other students to study the Qur'an well. This research has two objectives, namely: How is the ability to read the Qur’an, and the use of the iqra' method to convert students at Assalam Islamic Solidarity School in Jantho City. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Respondents in this study were teachers and students. Data collection techniques in this study are using observation and interviews. From the results of the study found by researchers that the use of iqra' method has been effective against the ability to read for convert students, although there are difficulties in the learning process, caused by lughat (pronunciation) their tongues are still stiff. From this study it can be concluded that every educational institution that is specifically in charge of the education of the Qur'an must be able to improve its quality in carrying out the Qur'anic learning process especially in terms of reading the letters, so that every student, especially converts, can learn the Qur'an 's well and correctly so that they can instill Islamic laws based on the Qur'an and as-Sunnah

Scanning Electron Microscopic Study of Effect of Various Agents on Urinary Crystal Morphology

Crystals seen in human urinary stones namely whewellite, weddellite, brushite, octocalcium phosphate, apatite, struvite and newberyite were grown in vitro in silica gel medium. The crystal growth medium was reproduced with addition of known inhibitors of crystallisation namely tartaric acid and citric acid and urine samples of stone patients and normal controls. The size and shape of the crystals were studied in the original setup and on addition of various agents as observed under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM appearance of crystals was uniformly reproducible. Addition of known inhibitors produced alteration of crystal habit and stunting of growth. Urine of stone patients produced changes in crystal appearance. Normal urine samples produced reduction in size of crystals and altered shapes. It is surmised from the observations that normal urine contains inhibitors of crystallisation and these are absent in the urine of certain stone formers

Improved methods for the analysis of circadian rhythms in correlated gene expression data

Circadian clocks regulate biological behaviours, such as sleeping and waking times, that recur naturally on an approximately 24-hour cycle. These clocks tend to be influenced by a variety of external factors, sometimes to the extent that it can have an impact on health. As an example in pharmacology, the effects of chemicals on the circadian rhythm in patients can be key in clarifying the relationship of drug efficacy and toxicity with dosing times. While pre-clinical experiments conducted to elucidate these effects may produce correlated data measured over time, such as gene expression profiles, existing methods for fitting parametric nonlinear regression models are however inadequate and can lead to unreliable, inconsistent parameter estimates and invalid inference. A de-trending method is widely used as a pre-processing step to address the non-stationary problem in the data before fitting models based on the assumption of independence. However, as it is unclear that this approach properly accounts for the correlation structure, alternative methods that specifically model the correlation in the data based on conditional least squares and a two-stage estimation procedure are proposed and evaluated. A simulation study covering a wide range of scenarios and models show that the proposed methods more efficient and robust to model mis-specification than de-trending and, furthermore, they lead to reduced bias in estimation of the circadian period and more reliable confidence intervals

Pembuatan Nugget Ikan Kembung Dengan Penambahan Jamur Tiram

The purpose of this study was to obtain the best ratio of oyster mushrooms in addition to the quality of mackerel fish nugget. The research method used a completely randomized design CRD experiment consisting of four treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of KJ1 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 70:30), KJ2 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 60:40), KJ3 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 50:50), and KJ4 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 40:60). The data obtained were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance and continued with Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that the ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms significantly affected moisture, ash, protein, and crude fiber content, as well as descriptive sensory assessments such as color before and after frying, aroma before and after frying, texture before frying, elasticity, taste and overall hedonic assessment. The best treatment was KJ3 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 50:50) which of 56.45% moisture 1.11% ash, 15.40% protein, and 2.98% crude fiber content. The overall sensory assessment of the nugget was slightly white color before frying, yellowness after frying, a little oyster mushroom flavoring before and after frying, a little soft texture, chewy, and slightly oyster mushroom taste

Extraction of Cerium (IV) Using Di–n-butylsulfoxide in Chloroform from Nitric Acid and Determination with Arsenazo (III) as Chromogenic Reagent

A new and advantageous extraction procedure was developed for extraction of cerium (IV) from nitric acid with di-n-butylsulfoxide (DBSO) in perchloric acid. The extracted Ce (IV) was determined spectrophotometrically using 0.01 % solution of arsenazo-III in 3Mper-chloric acid. Various parameters such as equilibration time, metal ion concentration, effect of temperature and diverse ions on the extraction of the Ce (IV) were established. U (VI), Th (IV) and Pb (II) interfere whereas only phosphate and fluoride suppress the extraction among anions. The stoichiometric composition of the cerium complex withDBSO was determined by slope analysis and found to be 1:4. The process of extraction was found to be exothermic. Deionized water was the most appropriate solvent for back extraction of cerium. This method is easier and more sensitive than many of the reported procedures.KEYWORDS Cerium, extraction, DBSO, perchloric acid, arsenazo-II

Population Attributable Fraction of Early Age of Onset of Alcohol Use in Alcohol Abuse and Dependence: A 3-Year Follow-Up Study in University Students

Background: we aimed to determine the risk factors and associated population attributable fractions (PAFs) for the age of onset of alcohol use and also to identify protective factors. Methods: we analyzed follow-up data collected between autumn 2011 and spring 2016 (n = 5170) from the first two cohorts (2011, 2012) of the Spit for ScienceTM project. The dependent variables were alcohol abuse and dependence, and the independent variables were age of drinking onset, residence, ethnicity, religiosity, sexual orientation and work status. We determined the odds ratios (OR) using multilevel logistic regression for repeated measures in SPSSv.20. Results: the early onset of alcohol use was associated with an increased risk of alcohol abuse and dependence among females (OR = 14.98; OR = 11.83) and males (OR = 7.41; OR = 6.24). The PAFs for the early onset of alcohol use in alcohol abuse and dependence were respectively 80.9% and 71.7% in females and 71.0% and 63.5% in males. Among females, being white (OR = 1.58; OR = 1.51), living off-campus (OR = 1.73; OR = 2.76) and working full-time (OR = 1.69; OR = 1.78) were also risk factors. Strong religious beliefs were found to protect males from alcohol abuse (OR = 0.58), while same-gender sexual orientation increased the risk among females (OR = 2.09). Conclusion: delaying the age of onset by one year would reduce alcohol abuse among young adultsSpit for Science: The Student Survey was supported by the Virginia Commonwealth University, the NIAAA [P20 AA107828, R37AA011408, K02AA018755, and P50 AA022537] and the National Center for Research Resources and National Institutes of Health Roadmap for Medical Research [UL1RR031990]S
