AL - SIRAT ACCORDING TO MU'TAZILA AND THE RESPONSE OF SUNNITES TO THEM

Praise be to Allah; All Prayers and Blessings of Allah be upon our master, the most noble Prophet Muhammad (Allah’s blessing and peace be upon him and upon his family and companions). This research deals with the topic (Al - Sirat according to Mu'tazila and the response of Sunnites to them). I have researched an ample amount of books and resources in order to achieve a broad understanding of this topic and all matters related to it, where I gathered, scrutinized, abridged and criticized the material. I have clarified issues which no scholar had ever discussed in detail, and I highlighted issues no one had ever approached; This is what will be, God willing, evident throughout the research,  "May Allah grant me success in this endeavor”.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui: 1) Pengaruh lingkungan belajar terhadap kemandirian belajar pada mahasiswa FKIP UMS Progdi Pendidikan Akuntansi angkatan 2011. 2) Pengaruh kreativitas belajar terhadap kemandirian belajar pada mahasiswa FKIP UMS Progdi Pendidikan Akuntansi angkatan 2011. 3) Pengaruh lingkungan belajar dan kreativitas belajar terhadap kemandirian belajar pada mahasiswa FKIP UMS Progdi Pendidikan Akuntansi angkatan 2011. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Akuntansi Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta angkatan 2011 yang berjumlah 200 mahasiswa dengan sampel sebanyak 127 mahasiswa yang diambil dengan teknik Simple Random Sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan metode angket yang telah diuji cobakan dengan uji validitas dan uji reliabilitas. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah regrasi linier berganda, uji t, uji F, sumbangan relatif dan sumbangan efektif. Hasil dari analisis data diperoleh persamaan garis linier Y=10,546+0,524X1+0,246X2. Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil dari penelitian ini adalah: 1) Ada pengaruh antara lingkungan belajar terhadap kemandirian belajar. Hal ini terbukti dari hasil uji t yang memperoleh thitung > ttabel yaitu 5,654 > 1,979 (α = 5%) dan nilai signifikansi ttabel yaitu 2,722 > 1,979 (α = 5%) dan nilai signifikansi Ftabel yaitu 32,086 > 3,069 dengan nilai signifikansi < 0,05 yaitu 0,000; 4) Variabel lingkungan belajar memberikan sumbangan relatif sebesar 73,4% dan sumbangan efektif sebesar 25,1%, variabel kreativitas belajar memberikan sumbangan relatif sebesar 26,6% dan sumbangan efektif sebesar 9,1%. Hasil uji koefisien determinasi (R2) diperoleh 0,341 yang berarti 34,1% kemandirian belajar dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan belajar dan kreativitas belajar sisanya sebesar 65,9% dipengaruhi oleh variabel lain yang tidak diteliti

Design of an optimal micro direct methanol fuel cell for portable applications

The main constraint for the commercialization of micro Direct Methanol Fuel cell (μDMFC) for small power generation is the performance of the fuel cell. In this study, a high-power μDMFC with a power output of 14.10 mW on an active area of 4 cm2 and catalyst loading of 0.5 mg cm-2 cathode was successfully developed. The optimal parameters for methanol concentration and catalyst loading were determined. Besides that, testing of performance, long term and open circuit voltage (OCV) was also performed

Thermal Radiation and Variable Pressure Effects on Natural Convective Heat and Mass Transfer Fluid Flow in Porous Medium

The study investigates the interaction of free convective flow with thermal radiation and variable pressure on natural convective heat and mass transfer fluid flow in porous medium. Solutions for time dependent energy, concentration and momentum equations were obtained by the perturbation series method after transforming into ordinary differential equations. The effect of various flow parameters such as: suction/injection ( δ) radiation (R ) magnetic field (M ) heat source (S ) chemical reaction ( Rc) on the skin friction, rate of heat transfer, velocity, temperature, and concentration profile influencing the physical situation were discussed with the aid of line graphs.

Stroke in children with sickle cell anaemia in Sokoto: a ten-year review

Objective: Stroke (cerebrovascular accident) generally occurs more often in children than once suspected, with its attendant potential consequences. It is an under recognized cause of neurologic disabilty in children, with varied causes. Stroke is a devastating and potentially life threatening complication of sickle cell anaemia (SCA). Children with sickle cell haemoglobinopathy have a life time increased risk of developing a stroke. This study aims to assess the pattern of stroke presentation among SCA children in Sokoto, North-Western Nigeria.Methodology: A review of all the clinical records of children with SCA who were diagnosed and managed for sickle cell related stroke at Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital (UDUTH) Sokoto; Nigeria, over a ten-year period (May, 2004 – April, 2014) was undertaken. Data analysis was done using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20.Results: Fifteen cases of Paediatrics stroke were identified, out of a total of 416 registered children with SCA, giving a stroke prevalence of 3.6%. Male: Female ratio was 1:1. All the stroke cases were of haemoglobin SS electrophoresis; with a mean age at diagnosis of SCA of 2.2 (±1.5) years and mean age at stroke onset of 6.3 (±2.8) years. Mean time of hospital presentation after the stroke onset was 10 (±2.5) days. Hemiparesis and expressive aphasia were the predominant presenting features. Based on the neuroimaging findings, majority of the stroke types were infarctive (71.4%). No mortality was recorded.Conclusion: The prevalence of sickle cell related childhood stroke of 3.6% in this series is relatively low. Majority of the patients presented to hospital very late, after the stroke onset. There is therefore the need for increased awareness on childhood stroke in our community, in order to facilitate early hospital presentation and prompt management to improve the outcome.Keywords: Paediatric stroke, Sickle cell anaemia, Late Presentation, Outcom
