Teacher trainees perception towards teaching practice

We now live in a fast-paced nature of the world that needs us to react immediately to our surroundings and at the same time follow the norms and value that have been predetermined. But sometimes we cannot cope with the situations that occurred around us. As a result, we will feel tense and cannot work efficiently. This situation may lead to stress that will affect our daily performances. Laughlin (1984: 18) believes stress is the degree of tension, anxiety or pressure experienced by us which lead to the feelings of apprehension, agitation or annoyance. Even though we do not notice it, stress has become a part of our life. Stress will definitely have an effect on our lives, family and health if we let it conquer our life. Up to 80 percent of all illnesses may well be stress-related. According to Smith (1993), stress is an important component of heart disease, cancer, respiratory disorders, ulcers, alcoholism, accidents, drug abuse and is the all leading causes of death in the West

Analysis data of the 22 years of observations on the young crescent moon at Telok Kemang observatory in relation to the Imkanur Rukyah criteria 1995

The main challenge in the young crescent moon (YCM) observation is the ability to detect the appearance of the YCM, which has varying contrast due to the phenomenon of twilight. The advancement of technology in digital imaging helps the faint and thin image of the YCM to be detected and taken during observation. The techniques used in the observations of the YCM were naked eyes, telescope, and telescope with cameras. A digital imaging technique is also being used in the observations to assist in detecting and recording the image of the YCM more effectively. This paper presents the analysis of the YCM observation data recorded at Telok Kemang Observatory from 2000 to the present. A total of 275 observation sessions were conducted during this study, with 87 positive sightings successfully recorded. The studies found that the smallest elongation and the minimum altitude at sunset of the YCM successfully recorded were 6.81° and 5.40°, respectively. The moon was recorded at an altitude of 3.37°, while the sky is still bright with the sun at an altitude of –2.64° using the digital imaging technique. Based on the records, the YCM which has the minimum criteria of Imkanur Rukyah, i.e., altitude of 2° and elongation of 3° at sunset was never detected or recorded during the 22 years of observations. Therefore, this work suggests the need to change the visibility of Imkanur Rukyah criteria used since 1995 to a more potentially observable criterion. In other aspects, the lengthy observation activities have contributed to the development of a database system for JAKIM that other researchers can access
