So, it is encouraged that Muslims who become Facebook users to join the site with good intention such as to strengthen relationships with family members and friends, to build useful network, and to support an Islamic group. Therefore, this study tries to find out the motives for using Facebook among its users at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) based on the Uses and Gratifications Theory. The specific objectives of this study are: (1) to find out the characteristics of Facebook users among IIUM undergraduate students; (2) to find out the patterns of usage among Facebook users; (3) to find out the religious motive for using Facebook among IIUM undergraduate students; and (4) to find out the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook use among IIUM undergraduate students. This study used a survey research design. Descriptive statistics was employed to answer the research objectives. The results showed that the majority of IRKHS students are Facebook users. Many of them are extrovert Malaysian females, aged 22 years and above. They are heavy users of Facebook and highly connected with others. IRKHS students do use Facebook for religious motive.

Metode pelaksanaan mencakup empat tahap, pertama adalah identifikasi, pendekatan sosial, persiapan, dan pelaksanaan kegiatan. Hasil pelaksanaan terlihat bahwa masyarakat antusias terhadap pelaksanaan kemitraan yang kami bangun, keberhasilan yang bermula dari identifikasi kebutuhan masyarakat seperti potensi masyarakat dalam membentuk suatu perkumpulan dan lahan kosong disekitar pemukiman yang tidak dimanfaatkan. Untuk Desa Salimbatu, beberapa masyarakat transmigrasi ditempat tersebut tidak sekedar bercocok tanam padi, namum juga berkebun harena hasilnya menjanjikan, sehingga kegiatan yang kami lakukan adalah pelatihan pembuatan pupuk organik. Kedua adalah pembentukan organisasi PKK sebagai wadah para ibu rumah tangga sebagai prospek katering untuk perusahaan sawit. Untuk Desa Tanjung Buka, hasil identifikasi dan pola masyarakat adalah ketersediaan lahan pekarangan di sekitar pemukiman yang tidak dimanfaatkan, jadi kegiatan yang kami laksanakan pertama adalah pemahaman masyarakat transmigrasi akan jamu sebagai pengganti obat kimia. Kedua pemanfaatan lahan kosong, dan ketiga bersama-sama membuat Apotik Hidup. Abstract:  The purpose of implementing this service is to maximize the potential of the community and transmigration land in Tanjung Buka Village and Salimbatu Village. The implementation method includes four stages: identification, social approach, preparation, and implementation of activities. The implementation results show that the community is enthusiastic about implementing the partnership that we have built, the success of which stems from the identification of community needs such as the potential of the community in forming an association and vacant land around settlements that are unutilized. For Salimbatu Village, several transmigration communities in that place grow rice and garden because the results are promising. The activity we do is training in making organic fertilizers. The second is the formation of the PKK organization as a forum for housewives as a catering prospect for palm oil companies. For Tanjung Buka Village, the identification results and community patterns are the availability of unused yards around the settlements, so the first activity we carried out was the transmigration community's understanding of herbal medicine as a substitute for chemical drugs. The second is the use of vacant land, and the third jointly make the Living Pharmacy.

The rights of children on the move in Indonesia : implementation and challenges

For decades ago, children have migrated for various reasons, such as avoiding conflict and persecution in their home countries, leaving poverty, seeking a better life in another country, uniting families who had already been in another country, and other reasons. Currently, children are a huge part of population movements. Soon, children will be positively affected due to globalization, socio-economic life changes, and natural changes. Although there is increasing attention to these migrated children’s fate, there has not yet been a complete legal instrument or other policies to protect these children’s fundamental rights while in Indonesia. This research aims to map the framework of fulfilling the rights of children on the move in the Indonesian constitution and its implementation and challenges. This research is essential considering that Indonesia is one of the parties to the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which requires each state-party to fulfil children’s rights regardless of national status, immigration status, and completeness of documents. This is a normative legal research with conceptual and statute approaches. The realization of these children’s rights is a benchmark for Indonesia’s commitment to obedience to international law obligations. The results show that Indonesia has been doing extra miles to fulfil the rights of children on the move, especially their educational and health rights

Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker initiation on organ support-free days in patients hospitalized with COVID-19

IMPORTANCE Overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may contribute to poor clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Objective To determine whether angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) initiation improves outcomes in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In an ongoing, adaptive platform randomized clinical trial, 721 critically ill and 58 non–critically ill hospitalized adults were randomized to receive an RAS inhibitor or control between March 16, 2021, and February 25, 2022, at 69 sites in 7 countries (final follow-up on June 1, 2022). INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomized to receive open-label initiation of an ACE inhibitor (n = 257), ARB (n = 248), ARB in combination with DMX-200 (a chemokine receptor-2 inhibitor; n = 10), or no RAS inhibitor (control; n = 264) for up to 10 days. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was organ support–free days, a composite of hospital survival and days alive without cardiovascular or respiratory organ support through 21 days. The primary analysis was a bayesian cumulative logistic model. Odds ratios (ORs) greater than 1 represent improved outcomes. RESULTS On February 25, 2022, enrollment was discontinued due to safety concerns. Among 679 critically ill patients with available primary outcome data, the median age was 56 years and 239 participants (35.2%) were women. Median (IQR) organ support–free days among critically ill patients was 10 (–1 to 16) in the ACE inhibitor group (n = 231), 8 (–1 to 17) in the ARB group (n = 217), and 12 (0 to 17) in the control group (n = 231) (median adjusted odds ratios of 0.77 [95% bayesian credible interval, 0.58-1.06] for improvement for ACE inhibitor and 0.76 [95% credible interval, 0.56-1.05] for ARB compared with control). The posterior probabilities that ACE inhibitors and ARBs worsened organ support–free days compared with control were 94.9% and 95.4%, respectively. Hospital survival occurred in 166 of 231 critically ill participants (71.9%) in the ACE inhibitor group, 152 of 217 (70.0%) in the ARB group, and 182 of 231 (78.8%) in the control group (posterior probabilities that ACE inhibitor and ARB worsened hospital survival compared with control were 95.3% and 98.1%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this trial, among critically ill adults with COVID-19, initiation of an ACE inhibitor or ARB did not improve, and likely worsened, clinical outcomes.

The existence of Islamic education is to preserve the proper value system of piety. Because it is human nature that specific value systems also demand a developed education system, the strategies adopted, the techniques used, the subject matter as content, and the policies from the lowest level of an institution to the main level with a comprehensive and integrated curriculum system, all of which should not be contrary to the Islamic value system as a fitrah. This research uses qualitative research by taking data at Madrasah Hurrasul Aqidah Tarakan City as the object of research, data collection techniques used are observation, interviews and documentation; analytical tools used are Miles and Huberman qualitative analysis models, checking the validity of data using triangulation. This study resulted in five doctrinal values ​​through the curriculum, namely: strengthening the Islamic aqidah uluhiyah-rububiyah-asma wa shifat in students' daily lives, emphasizing habituation of sunnah worship integrated with fiqh subjects, habituation of civilized characters with examples and directions, tahfidh al-qur'an it is mandatory for all students to have the vision of creating a Qur'anic generation, and tadabbur alam (knowing God's creation) as natural learning media.
