Book Review Lived Islam: Agama Koloqial dalam Tradisi Kosmopolitan

Dua fakta yang tampak seolah-olah kontradiktif selalu muncul ketika peneliti mencoba mengkaji Islam: pertama, adanya keberbagaian variasi yang menakjubkan dari praktik-praktik dan keyakinan-keyakinan Islam; kedua, kaum muslim, terlepas dari beragam perbedaan nyata dalam praktik maupun keyakinan tersebut, tetap saling memperlakukan dan menganggap satu dengan lainnya sebagai sesama pemeluk Islam yang berbeda dari pemeluk agama lain. Buku ini merupakan hasil ikhtiar akademik A. Kevin Reinhart yang mencoba menyodorkan sebuah tawaran pendekatan dalam mengkaji dua realitas keislaman yang kerap membingungkan sebagian para peneliti tersebut sembari tak lupa mengklarifikasi dan menjernihkan ulang makna sesungguhnya terma “Islam” ketika para peneliti menggunakannya. Sebab, menurut Kevin Reinhart, ada kecenderungan umum di kalangan sebagian para pengkaji Islam untuk meletakkan “Islam” sebagai kata yang kabur, samar, dan bahkan tanpa makna. Padahal, kajian Islam sangat bergantung pada pemahaman ihwal kata “Islam” tersebut: apakah Islam yang dikaji adalah yang dianggap sebagai suatu esensi yang stabil, atau Islam yang merupakan sesuatu yang berbeda sesuai dengan tempat di mana dan untuk siapa ia hadir, atau Islam sebagai “diskursus” dalam pengertian yang ditawarkan Talal Asad,  misalnya? Saat dihadapkan pada ekspresi praktik dan keyakinan Islam yang sangat majemuk pada tempat dan waktu yang berbeda-beda, sebagian peneliti, di satu sisi, menilai praktik-praktik tertentu sebagai sesuatu yang benar-benar islami (authentically or essentially Islamic); di sisi lain, sebagian praktik-praktik keislaman kaum muslim mereka nilai sebagai sesuatu yang tidak islami karena terkontaminasi aspek-aspek asing dari keyakinan maupun kebudayaan lokal. Para peneliti, pada titik ini, sebenarnya sedang mengambil alih peran dan tugas para agamawan atau teolog

Kaum Minoritas Muslim Di Barat: Tantangan Dan Masa Depan

The Muslim minorities in the West face various challenges originally come from within Muslim communities as well as Western\u27s negative attitudes upon them. Unfortunately, those challenges often lead Western Muslims to take two different attitudes with similar danger: preaching isolationist stance that considers everything seemed more or less characteristic of the West in manners or style as dangerous and they contrives to forbid or avoid it as much as possible; or campaigning assimilation, in its literal sense—complete adaptation to the Western way of life. This book deals with the challenges of Western Muslims and the theoretical-practical efforts they must undertake for their better future as well. Tariq Ramadan calls all Western Muslims to reread their Islamic classical texts as well as ground them in Western socio- political context. In so doing, Tariq Ramadan contends that, through fresh interpretations of universal Islamic principles, the path towards an authentic integration is open for Western Muslims

Monitoring of air ducting using mechanical robot for indoor air quality (IAQ) improvement

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has become public concern recently. Air ducting is used in Mechanical Ventilation and Air Conditioning (MVAC) system to deliver air to the building occupants. Without proper maintenance of the ducting system, it will affect the IAQ of overall building. Monitoring air ducting is the preliminary step to get real view inside the ducting. This study focused on the development of the Mechanical Ducting Robot (MerDuct) to monitor the ducting and data collection at real time (in�situ). The developments of the MerDuct have been performed in three phases. MerDuct were controlled wirelessly, and equipped with lamp and camera to get real visual inside the ducting. Case studies were visually performed suing MerDuct in three different scenarios namely full operation ducting, second is seldom operation ducting and third is abandoned ducting. Three case studies had been conducted in Block A4 Academic Office Building UTHM, Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) at Thermal Environmental Laboratory UTHM, and Building Services Laboratory Block E6, Faculty of Engineering Technology UTHM respectively. MerDuct was designed to be able travel to the various ranges along the ducting and using analog joystick to make it user friendly .The seldom operation of ducting was clearly shows clean ducting without any trapped dust and web since the LEV was only used once a week and it is only less than 1 year old. The other two scenarios clearly showed trapped dust and web from photo captured by MerDuct. From the experimental data, MerDuct was successfully performed as monitoring robot to detect Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problem source. The image taken by MerDuct could help building owner to predict necessary time to perform the duct cleaning to improve the IAQ based on occupational safety and health for sustainable development
