The beneficial of wetland Tanjung Piai to community

Wetlands are one of the natural resources that can be seen are suffering for the past few years from human activities. The destruction of wetlands not only came from human activities but also from natural event such as continuous erosion that occurs at Tanjung Piai. The destruction of wetlands not only occurs in Malaysia but also in other country. The study was carried out at wetlands located in Tanjung Piai to identify the beneficial of wetland Tanjung Piai to community and wildlife. For the past few years, problem related to water such as flooding and water pollution worsen but wetlands seems to be one of the method to reduce these events. Wetland becomes storage area that accepts rainwater that cannot be accepted by river. Water that went through as groundwater recharge will go through filtration first thus, reducing the unwanted material in the water. Other than that wetland also acts as habitat for animals and measures to reduce erosion. Despite of the benefit of wetlands to community, wetland suffers from pollution, extinction of the mangrove and climate change. The study was carried out through observation and interview on the person in charge of the Tanjung Piai wetland. The objectives of the study are to identify the benefit of the wetland, problems that was suffered by wetland and measures to make sure wetland are in good condition

Penterjemahan unsur budaya Arab dan Melayu menurut pembahagian Hasan Ghazala

Bahasa sebagai alat komunikasi antara manusia mengandungi unsur budaya yang mengambarkan cara fikir sesebuah masyarakat. Maka, penterjemahan merupakan wadah terpenting bagi menghubung dan merapatkan jurang kebudayaan antara dua bahasa yang berlainan. Namun begitu, penterjemah sering mengalami kekeliruan untuk menggunakan kaedah yang sesuai dalam menterjemah, terutamanya dalam teks-teks yang mempunyai banyak unsur budaya. Oleh sebab itu, pengkaji menggunakan pembahagian unsur budaya oleh Ghazala (2015) bagi menganalisis unsur-unsur budaya dalam teks antara bahasa Arab dan bahasa Melayu. Pengkaji akan menyertakan contoh-contoh yang berkaitan untuk mengupas isu terjemahan berdasarkan lapan pembahagian unsur budaya, iaitu agama, sosial, politik, mental dan emosi, linguistik, sastera, ekologi, dan material. Kajian ini akan menyumbang pengetahuan baharu kepada dunia tentang penterjemahan antara dua budaya. Pengetahuan baharu tersebut melibatkan pemahaman menelusuri unsur budaya dalam bahasa sumber untuk diungkapkan secara betul dan tepat dalam bahasa sasaran yang amat diperlukan untuk mendapatkan terjemahan yang baik. Penterjemah harus memahami budaya bahasa sumber dan bahasa penerima sebelum menterjemahkan sebarang teks kerana penterjemah bukan sekadar memindahkan kata, tetapi juga perasaan dan nilai budaya penulis ke dalam bahasa lain. ************************************************************************************** Language as a means of communication between people contains cultural elements that reflect the way a society thinks. Translation, therefore, is an important medium for bridging cultural gaps between two different languages. However, translators often find it difficult to use appropriate methods to translate, especially texts with many cultural elements. Therefore, the researchers used the categorization of culture by Ghazala (2015) to analyze the cultural elements in the Arabic and English texts. The researcher will include relevant examples to address the issues of translation based on eight categories of culture, namely, religious, social, political, mental and emotional, linguistic, literary, ecological, and material. This study will contribute new knowledge to the world of translation between the two cultures. The new knowledge involves understanding the cultural elements of the source language in order to be expressed properly and accurately in the target language that is essential for good translation. A translator must understand the culture of the source language and the recipient’s language before translating any text because the translator is not just translating the words, but also the feelings and values of the author’s culture into other languages

The effect of cooling rate during multiple reflow soldering on intermetallic layer of Sn-4.0 Ag-0.5Cu/ENImAg

The effect of intermetallic compound layer between Sn-4.0 Ag-0.5Cu solder bump and electroless nickel/immersion silver (ENImAg) surface finish under different cooling rate during multiple reflow condition was investigated. The results show that the interfacial (Cu, Ni)6Sn5 intermetallic compound were formed at the early stage after the first reflow process. After multiple reflow processes, both (Cu, Ni)6Sn5 and (Ni, Cu)3Sn4 appeared as needle-shaped at interface due to the amount of copper concentration into a solder balls. The spalling intermetallic compound of (Cu, Ni)6 Sn5 was spotted in the solder which was caused by the formation of needle-shaped from the gaps of (Cu, Ni)6Sn5. The intermetallic compound thickness and grain sizes became thicker and coarser with increasing reflow time, respectively. The results also perceived that the cooling rate condition can influence the growth of intermetallic compound formation. Faster cooling rate produced thinner intermetallic layer as well as smaller grain sizes compared to slow cooling rate. Hence, the cooling rate is a necessary parameter in the solder reflow process because it has an impact on the microstructure of morphology and intermetallic growth

Language Pattern of Arabic Debaters of International Islamic University Malaysia in Debating

This study aims to explain the Arabic debating language pattern among International Islamic University Malaysia Arabic debaters. It will focus on debating terms and phrases that are widely circulated in Arabic debating in this university whereby these terms distinguish debate from any other language activities such as forums, discussions and public speaking. This study will show examples of styles and phrases that are used by the debaters when they perform their roles as members of two opposing teams, which are the government and the opposition. This collection of examples can be used as a reference for those who participate in Arabic debate as well as for debate trainers. It can be a useful helping tool when training the novice. Although it may not be the best reference as there are too many language styles and phases debaters use, at the very least it can help debaters to have a grasp of basic debating phrases and terms and therefore, will lead to betterment in choosing the right phrases and words when they debate. It is important for them to have a good grasp of these phrases and terms on the basis, that debating is not a regular dialogue or discussion, but it is also an art of systematic and constructive argumentation. Furthermore, the debate skill requires a high accuracy of words used, clarity of ideas and ‘straight to the point’ manner of speaking without any elongation of the time allocated for every speaker/debater is very limited

Globalizing zakat assistance for humanitarian crisis: issues and challenges

Zakat is a mandatory alms-giving that formed as a part of Muslims’ obligation. It is made compulsory for those who have the means to carry it out. It promotes the production of human capital and improves economic growth, and is a form of wealth redistribution. Islam has placed, more specifically the Islamic finance, an emphasis on Zakat as an important socio-economic tool. Lately, Zakat receives a growth of attention for its potentials. With the existence of frequent humanitarian crisis such as the refugee crisis, there is a call for a better utilization of Zakat at the global landscape. Looking closely to the latest development, this research looks closely to the issues and challenges in globalizing Zakat for the humanitarian assistance and overcoming the refugee crisis. This research adopts the qualitative research methodology and doctrinal legal analysis. It is found that issues and challenges in globalizing Zakat for humanitarian assistance are inter-related. Such issues and challenges may be differed from one country to another country. A comprehensive structured governance, the regulatory framework, human capital, the effective collection and distribution of Zakat, a strong trust from Muslims to the Zakat institutions or a specific collector, and the efficient collaboration between countries are needed in globalizing Zakat for the humanitarian assistance
