The concept is stated in the Hadith saying that Allah not merely sent Muhammad SAW except for an important task to edify mankind. Islamic education that focuses on the formation of akhlak is essential. Akhlak-based Islamic education studies and practices good behaviour and teaches students to avoid reprehensible behavior.

New Religious Movement di Indonesia: Studi Kasus Agama Pran-Soeh di YOGYAKARTA

This paper describes the dynamics and development of Pran-Soeh: the local Javanese mysticism with followers of approximately 700 people in Yogyakarta and Central Java. It concludes that the emergence of Pran-Soeh is motivated by its followers' move to acommodate the mainstream religius belief with the local Javanese mysticism at the backdrop of mounting pressures from the spread of other formal religious belief in the country. As a minority religious group, Pran-Soeh's historical development has been very much influenced by its dialectical interaction with other formal religion in Indonesia. The article also highlights that the hegemony of the government-endorsed religiosity has obstructed the development of Pran-Soeh

The questionnaires and tests were used at baseline, after 12 weeks intervention, and three months after the intervention. Participants in the intervention group received twelve 90-min sessions of the standard dialectical behavior therapy for the bipolar disorder. Results: The results showed that the intervention group had a lower score in mania, and depression. Also, the intervention group had a higher score in executive functions after three months intervention and three months follow-up.

Background: Several studies have shown the dangers of cigarette smoking among daily smokers. However, another group that has recently been investigated is a nondaily smoking group. The nondaily smokers experience the adverse health effects of smoking more than nonsmokers. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of depression and anxiety among daily and nondaily smokers. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study with snowball sampling, 385 male residents of Kashan were selected and divided into three groups of daily smokers (118), nondaily smokers (114) and nonsmokers (135). Depression and anxiety were measured by the Beck depression inventory and beck anxiety inventory. Results: The results of the current study showed no significant difference in the prevalence of depression and anxiety in both daily and nondaily smokers (P<0.05). Also, depression and anxiety levels in daily smokers and nondaily smokers were significantly higher than nonsmokers (P<0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of depression and anxiety among nondaily smokers is the same as the daily smokers. Thus, in both groups, in addition to smoking, special attention should be paid to anxiety and depression disorders

The escalation of unemployed graduate’s phenomena not only is a local issue but have become global. Clark (2009) reported that graduate unemployment in UK has soared 44 per cent in a year and is at its highest for more than a decade while 81,046 Malaysian graduates registered on labour exchange seeking job (Electronic Labour Exchange, Ministry of Human Resources, 2009). Through a lot of discussion and research done by researcher, academicians and authorities, half of the findings pointing back to education policies and educators. Thus in order to overcome this problem from becoming huge, ones must go back to the root factor that is the educators. As a human, certain individual needs must be satisfied first before they could deliver their knowledge appropriately. These include need for belongingness that contains affection and interaction with other people (eg. Organization, supervisor and co-worker) and esteem need that are gained through recognition. Nevertheless, the different workplace expectations brought by the new generation (McShane & Von Glinow, 2009) might give a different connotation to this situation. Therefore a study on the relationship of perceived support and intention to leave among new academician will be conducted. The purpose of this study are to examine the direct relationship between perceived support and intention to leave and then examine which type of support (namely organisational, supervisor and co-worker support) give the most influence to intention to leave. Data on 113 permanent new lecturers (served less than 3 years) in UiTM Segamat will be obtained using questionnaires and recorded and further analyse using SPSS Version 17. It is assumed that perceived support and intention to leave has a direct negative relationship and supervisor support is the most influential factor of intention to leave

Knowledge management is an important factor that can influence the success of organizational operations. This makes it apparent as well that there is a need to establish knowledge sharing within an organization.
