INOVASI MENGHAFAL AL-QURAN 30 JUZ DALAM WAKTU SATU BULAN DI MESJID AS-SALAM PT. SALAMDAN SALAM DESA MANDALAWANGI KECAMATAN SALOPA KABUPATEN TASIKLAMAYA

Al Quran adalah bacaan, dalam arti hafalan, karena pada zaman rosululloh Saw Al-Quran belum di bukukan yang disebut mashaf, itu terjadi pada masa Utsman bin Affan ra menjadi khalifah. Oleh karena para huffadz banyak yang gugur syahid di medan pertempuran, Kholifah merasa khawatir akan hilangnya Al quran, maka dibukukanlah Alquran itu dengan sebutan Mashaf Utsmani. Akan tetapi, Al Quranul karim dijaga oleh Alloh SWT keasliannya dari kerusakan dan perubahan, lewat para huffadz, sebab bentuk mashaf atau file dalam memori digital sangat rentan untuk hancur dan bahkan dirubah. Oleh karenanya saat ini kesadaran umat islam mulai bangkit lagi untuk kembali menjaga keaslian dan keutuhan Al Quran lewat orang yang mencintai Al Quran untuk dihafal, sehingga terlahir para Hafidz dan Hafidzoh. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui inovasi berupa konsep, metode, dan kelemahan yang dilaksanakan dalam proses menghafal cepat Al-Qur’an di Mesjid As-Salam PT. Salamadan Salam, Desa Mandalawangi Kecamatan Salopa Kabupaten Tasikmalaya sehingga dapat mengafal cepat Al-Qur’an 30 juz dalam kurun waktu satu bulan. Hasil yang dicapai dapat meningkatkan prestasi sehingga mayoritas dapat memenuhi target kriteria ketuntasan minimal. Kelemahan dan masalah yang muncul kurang partisipasi aktif dari berbagai pihak yang terkait dalam pelaksanaan inovasi tersebut. Disarankan untuk dikembangkan inovasi baru baik melalui penelitian lanjutan maupun perbudayaan

Some approximation problems in the theory of stationary processes

AbstractIn this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for the regularity of a general (multivariate) stationary process are obtained. These subsume all the known criteria of regularity for such processes

Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the book theme, motivating the need for high-performance and time-predictable embedded computing. It describes the challenges introduced by the need for time-predictability on the one hand, and high-performance on the other, discussing on a high level how these contradictory requirements can be simultaneously supported

Promotion of healthy aging within a community center through behavior change: health and fitness findings from the AgeWell pilot randomized controlled trial

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to determine if behavior change through individual goal setting (GS) could promote healthy aging, including health and fitness benefits in older adults who attended a community “AgeWell” Center for 12 months. Seventy-five older adults were randomly allocated to either a control or a GS group. Health outcomes were measured at baseline and after 12 months of the participants’ having access to the exception of Agewell Center facilities. The findings demonstrate that participation in the Center in itself was beneficial, with improved body composition and reduced cardiovascular risk in both groups (p < .05), and that this kind of community-based resource offers valuable potential for promoting protective behaviors and reducing health risk. However, a specific focus on identifying individual behavior change goals was required in order to achieve increased activity engagement (p < .05) and to bring about more substantial improvements in a range of health, diet, and physical function measures (p < .05)

A simple method for measuring plasma power in rf-GDOES instruments

A method for determining plasma power in rf-GDOES is presented. It is based on an effective resistance located in the inductive coil of the impedance matching. The amount of electrical power consumed in the matching system depends on the capacitive current flowing through the matching system, which depends on the applied voltage, the stray capacity, and the frequency. This correction method is experimentally evaluated and compared with the integral plasma power calculatio

Cost-effectiveness findings from the Agewell pilot study of behaviour change to promote health and wellbeing in later life

Background: Participation in cognitive and physical activities may help to maintain health and wellbeing in older people. The Agewell study explored the feasibility of increasing cognitive and physical activity in older people through a goal-setting approach. This paper describes the findings of the cost-effectiveness analysis.Method: Individuals over the age of 50 and attending an Agewell centre in North Wales were randomised to one of three conditions: control (IC), goal-setting (GS), or goal-setting with mentoring (GM). We undertook a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing GS vs. IC, GM vs. IC and GM vs. GS. The primary outcome measure for this analysis was the QALY, calculated using the EQ-5D. Participants’ health and social care contacts were recorded and costed using national unit costs.Results: Seventy participants were followed-up at 12 months. Intervention set up and delivery costs were £252 per participant in the GS arm and £269 per participant in the GM arm. Mean health and social care costs over 12 months were £1,240 (s.d. £3,496) per participant in the IC arm, £1,259 (s.d. £3,826) per participant in the GS arm and £1,164 (s.d. £2,312) per participant in the GM arm. At a willingness to pay threshold of £20,000 per QALY there was a 65% probability that GS was cost-effective compared to IC (ICER of £1,070). However, there was only a 41% probability that GM was cost-effective compared to IC (ICER of £2,830) at a threshold of £20,000 per QALY.Conclusion: Setting up and running the community based intervention was feasible. Due to the small sample size it is not possible to draw a firm conclusion about cost-effectiveness; however, our preliminary results suggest that goalsetting is likely to be cost-effective compared to the control condition of no goal-setting, the addition of mentoring was effective but not cost-effective

Targeting danger molecules in tendinopathy: the HMGB1/TLR4 axis

Objectives: To seek evidence of the danger molecule, high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) expression in human tendinopathy and thereafter, to explore mechanisms where HMGB1 may regulate inflammatory mediators and matrix regulation in human tendinopathy. Methods: Torn supraspinatus tendon (established pathology) and matched intact subscapularis tendon (representing ‘early pathology’) biopsies were collected from patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Control samples of subscapularis tendon were collected from patients undergoing arthroscopic stabilisation surgery. Markers of inflammation and HMGB1 were quantified by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. Human tendon-derived primary cells were derived from hamstring tendon tissue obtained during hamstring tendon anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and used through passage 3. In vitro effects of recombinant HMGB1 on tenocyte matrix and inflammatory potential were measured using quantitative RT-PCR, ELISA and immunohistochemistry staining. Results: Tendinopathic tissues demonstrated significantly increased levels of the danger molecule HMGB1 compared with control tissues with early tendinopathy tissue showing the greatest expression. The addition of recombinant human HMGB1 to tenocytes led to significant increase in expression of a number of inflammatory mediators, including interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-33, CCL2 and CXCL12, in vitro. Further analysis demonstrated rhHMGB1 treatment resulted in increased expression of genes involved in matrix remodelling. Significant increases were observed in Col3, Tenascin-C and Decorin. Moreover, blocking HMGB1 signalling via toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) silencing reversed these key inflammatory and matrix changes. Conclusion: HMGB1 is present in human tendinopathy and can regulate inflammatory cytokines and matrix changes. We propose HMGB1 as a mediator driving the inflammatory/matrix crosstalk and manipulation of the HMGB1/TLR4 axis may offer novel therapeutic approaches targeting inflammatory mechanisms in the management of human tendon disorders
