Penanaman aqidah pada anak usia dini banyak petunjuk dan cara yang dapat dilakukan berdasarkan ajaran Islam. Salah satu cara yang dapat dicontohi dalam penanaman aqidah anak usia dini adalah mencontohi Lukmanul Hakim yang telah sukses mendidik anaknya dalam penanaman aqidah. Kesuksesan Lukmanl Hakim mendidik anaknya telah diabadikan dalam alquran yang tercantum pada surat Lukman ayat 13 sampai 19. Dari ayat tersebut terdapat lima inti dalam mendidik anak di usia dini yakni Penanaman aqidah, Berbakti kepada kedua orangtua, mendirikan sholat, Akhlak, Amar ma’ruf dan Nahi mungkar. Adapun yang melatar belakangi lahirnya penelitian ini, dimana peneliti melihat bahwa masih banyaknya orang tua yang belum memahami pentingnya penanaman aqidah pada usia dini. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian pustaka (library research), dengan mengumpulkan data dari berbagai literatur. Literatur yang diteliti tidak terbatas pada buku-buku namun diperlukan pula beberapa bahan lainnya seperti majalah, surat kabar, jurnal dan dokumentasi yang ada hubungnan dengan penelitian. Adapun pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif, yaitu dengan menekankan analisisnya pada proses penyimpulan komparasi serta pada analisis terhadap dinamika hubungan fenomena yang diamati dengan menggunakan logika ilmiah.

The possible changes in the haematological parameters of Clarias gariepinus juveniles exposed to acute concentrations of butachlor was examined in this study. One hundred and twenty juveniles of C. gariepinus were used for the study. The acute toxicity bioassay was a completely randomized design consisting of six treatments, with varying concentrations of butachlor (0.0, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0 mg/l) all in duplicates. The post-exposure haematological parameters results revealed that the exposed fish showed significant (p < 0.05) progressive reduction in packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin (Hgb), total protein (TP) and total red blood cells count (TRBC) as the concentration of the toxicant increases. However, the values of total white blood cells count (TWBC), tends to increase with an increase in concentration of the toxicant. The absolute blood indices, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), showed fluctuating values though no significant differences (p>0.05) was observed among the treatments.

Aim: In this study, moringa seed flour was subjected to treatments (boiling and roasting) and used to fortify sorghum flour (Kunun Zaki flour). Study Design: The blend ratios of Kunun Zaki flour and Moringa seed flour were 100:0 (control), 95:5, 90:5, 85:15, and 80:20 which were subjected to standard methods for evaluation of physicochemical properties of the flours while flour samples were further processed into a gruel and subjected to sensory evaluation. Result: The results of the proximate analysis indicated an increase in moisture, protein, fat, ash, and fibre from 9.06 – 9.34, 11.12 – 13.09, 3.64 – 5.74, 2.95 – 3.32, 7.65 – 8.24% respectively and decreased in carbohydrate (65.53 – 60.62%). The pH increased (3.90 – 4.37) while the titratable acidity decreased (0.87 – 0.68). All the phytochemicals (alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, sterols, phenols, cyanides, and phytates) increased as the moringa seed flour was added. T The addition of moringa seed flour increased vitamins A, C, B1, B2, and B6. It also led to an increase in sodium and composite flour.

Geographical conditions affect human physical and physiological conditions, one of the examples is the height of residence that can make the respiratory system different among population groups. This study aims to compare the respiratory system between highlanders and lowlanders in terms of hemoglobin levels, blood oxygen saturation, and breaths frequency. The research model used was a comparative study with a purposive sampling method based on: age criteria with a range of 16-19 years, a minimum of 6 months stayed at the research location, and there is no recorded respiratory system disease. Data analysis used was independent t-test with Shapiro-Wilk prerequisite test for normality and one-way ANOVA for homogeneity, then Mann-Whitney test for follow-up non-parametric test. The results showed that the highlanders generally have oxygen saturation and hemoglobin levels with an average value of 98.81% and 14.69g/dL higher than those in the lowlands with a value of 97.86% and 13.14g/dL. On the other hand, the average value of breath frequency of highlanders is 17.38/minute which tends to be lower than that of lowlanders with 24.17/minute. The prerequisite test showed highlanders oxygen saturation data that were not normally distributed with a significance value of 0.003, then oxygen saturation data and breath frequency were not homogeneous with a significance value of 0.000 and 0.003 respectively. The comparative test showed a significance value of 0.002 for hemoglobin through independent t-test, then obtained asymptomatic significance values ​​of 0.004 and 0.000 for oxygen saturation and breaths frequency through the Mann-Whitney test. Based on the significance value obtained, it can be stated that there are significant differences in hemoglobin levels, oxygen saturation, and breaths frequency per minute between highland and lowland residents. It is recommended to conduct further research on lung capacity and chest cavity index to provide a more holistic explanation of the differences in the respiratory system between highland and lowland residents.

Kejaksaan merupakan lembaga yang mempunyai kewenangan di bidang penuntutan. Sedangkan Jaksa dalam menjalankan fungsinya bekerja atas nama rakyat dalam melakukan tugasnya menuntut seseorang yang diduga melakukan tindak pidana. Proses prapenuntutan sering terjadi, sehingga berkas perkara bolak balik dari penyidik ke Jaksa Penuntut Umum, kurang lengkapnya berkas perkara akan membawa dampak dalam proses prapenuntutan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengembalian berkas perkara oleh Jaksa Penuntut Umum dalam prapenuntutan. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan kasus, perundangan, dan analisis. Hasil penelitian diperoleh sebagai berikut, karena tidak adanya satu ketentuan yang memberikan pembatasan berapa kali berkas perkara dapat dikembalikan, hal ini dapat dikaitkan dengan tujuan hukum terhadap hak asasi seseorang, serta demi kepastian hukum bagi pencari keadilan, maka pengembalian hasil penyidikan ataupun hasil penyidik tambahan oleh Jaksa Penuntut Umum kepada penyidik, haruslah memiliki kriteria pembatasan yang tegas. Akibat yang ditimbulkan bila berkas perkara tidak dikembalikan dari pihak Jaksa Penuntut Umum apabila dalam tujuh hari tidak mengembalikan berkas perkara maka berkas perkara penyidikan dianggap selesai.

Background Cardiac rehabilitation (CR), an integral component of cardiovascular disease (CVD) management in developed countries, is yet to become mainstream in India. With the prevailing gross mismatch between the need and the availability of CR services, an alternative model such as home-based CR may be the potential solution to challenges such as accessibility issues, transportation cost and lack of time. Purpose This study aimed to compare the efficacy of home-based versus centre-based CR in an Indian CVD population. Methods All CVD patients who participated in our centre-based and home-based CR programs between mid-2014 and mid-2022 were included in the study. Subjects who did not complete their post program evaluation (n=15) were excluded. Demographic data and data pertaining to CVD risk factors, nature of CVD, procedure undergone and details of CR program provided were documented for all subjects. A multidisciplinary team consisting of Physician, Physiotherapist, Dietician, and Counseling Psychologist provided the CR program in-person or using telehealth platforms for the centre-based and home-based programs respectively. Subjects who attended some in-person and some home-based sessions were categorized based on the nature of the majority sessions. Results Age of the subjects (n=106) was 60±13 years, 94 (89%) were male and 22 (21%) were residing outside Chennai. While the risk factor and disease profiles were comparable, the home-based group was younger, had more out of Chennai participants and attended more sessions over a longer duration compared to the centre-based group (Table 1). The higher number of hybrid revascularization procedures in the home-based group corroborates with this being the preferred modality for acute coronary syndrome management during the pandemic-led lockdown. There was a significant improvement in body mass index, systolic blood pressure, 6-minute walk distance and left ventricular ejection fraction in those who completed the centre-based as well as home-based CR programs (Table 2). Conclusions Home-based CR is as efficacious as centre-based CR, is easier to deploy and helps overcome challenges inherent to centre-based CR such as transportation and time constraints. Home-based CR has potential to become the main mode of CR delivery in low-resource settings in the future.

Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background We have witnessed a dramatic dip in adherence to cardiovascular health behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from across the globe has shown that risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as decreased physical activity, poor diet, and increased depression, loneliness, and stress have peaked during the pandemic. Having been badly affected by the pandemic and having had prolonged periods of countrywide lockdown, the at-risk and established CVD population has faced a major challenge in adhering to a healthy lifestyle in India. Purpose This study aimed to analyze the change in cardiovascular health behaviors brought about by a comprehensive lifestyle intervention program (CLIP) during the pandemic in India. Methods All at-risk and CVD patients who had participated in the CLIP from mid 2020 to mid 2022 and had completed the internally validated health behavior assessment questionnaire, pre and post-program, were included in this retrospective study. A multidisciplinary team consisting of Physician, Physiotherapist, Dietician, and Counseling Psychologist provided the sessions online and/or in-person for the home-based and hybrid programs respectively. When a combination of online and in-person sessions were provided for a subject, it was called a hybrid program. The core components of the CLIP were exercise training, education on relevant health topics, nutritional guidance and psychosocial counseling. Results Age of the subjects (n=50) at enrolment was 54±13 years and 40 (80%) were male. The time between pre-program and post-program assessments was 110 (IQR 47) days. Number of at-risk and CVD patients attending home-based and hybrid programs are shown in the Figure. There were 4 couples in the study cohort; 21 (50%) of the remaining 42 subjects had at least 1 other family member attend the majority of sessions. There was a significant improvement in all the cardiovascular health behaviors, namely adequate daily intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, choice of heart-healthy foods between meals, sufficient weekly exercise and a reduction in self-reported chronic stress, upon completion of the CLIP (Table). Conclusions A comprehensive lifestyle intervention program that incorporates a multipronged approach to behavior modification is effective in improving cardiovascular health behaviors in individuals at-risk as well as with established cardiovascular disease in India. The ripple effect of behavior modification in the accompanying family members needs to be studied systematically.

Study design: Experimental study Place and duration of study: Aga Khan University, Karachi and Khyber Medical University, Peshawar Pakistan from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2020 with collaboration of University of Verona, Italy. Methodology: Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were segregated into two groups; treatment and control. In treatment group received FTY720 at 1 mg/kg, intravenously 15 minutes prior to the experiment. Both groups were exposed to myocardial ischemia (30 m) reperfusion (2 h). Blood gas analysis, lymphocyte count, myeloperoxidase assay and TUNEL assay were performed and analyzed to observe the effect of FTY720 on neutrophil infiltration and apoptosis. Results: FTY720 treated group had improvement in blood gas levels in contrast to the control, treatment group also experienced decrease in neutrophil infiltration, lymphocyte count and myeloperoxidase enzyme expression. Conclusions: FTY720 pre-treatment reduce lymphocyte count that leads to reduce the level of apoptosis and salvage the myocardial damage incurred by ischemia reperfusion. Keywords: Fingolimod, Cardiopulmonary bypass, Lymphocyte, Neutrophil, Myeloperoxidase

Pertumbuhan penduduk yang semakin meningkat menyebabkan peningkatan produksi sampah secara signifikan. Kesadaran masyarakat untuk sekadar memilah dan memisahkan sampah pun masih rendah. Sosialisasi pemilahan sampah dan pembentukan usaha bank sampah sebenarnya sudah makin marak. Namun, karena kurangnya promosi bank sampah atau kurang baiknya sistem manajemen bank sampah menyebabkan bank sampah saat ini sepi peminat. Hal ini dialami oleh bank sampah mitra, yaitu Bank Sampah Guyub Rukun. Kesadaran masyarakat di sekitar Bank Sampah Guyub Rukun untuk menabung sampah pun masih rendah. Selain itu pengurus juga masih belum mampu mengelola bank sampah secara profesional. Oleh karena itu, solusi yang ditawarkan: (1) melakukan pelatihan mengenai pengelolaan keuangan, (2) melakukan pelatihan pembuatan paving blok dari sampah plastik, dan (3) melakukan sosialisasi Bank Sampah Guyub Rukun kepada masyarakat yang lebih luas.

Empati adalah kemampuan merasakan emosi orang lain baik secara fisiologis maupun mental yang terbangun pada berbagai keadaan batin orang lain. Perubahan biologis ini akan muncul ketika individu berempati dengan orang lain. Hal yang tidak sesuai dengan diharapkan adanya pengasuh yang cuek, tidak peduli dan antipati, sehingga membuat anak asuh tidak berani berkomunikasi langsung dengan pengasuhnya sehingga membuat anak asuh kurang nyaman dan betah tinggal di panti asuhan. Oleh karena itu yang menjadi tujuan umum penelitian ini yaitu: untuk mengetahui identifikasi sikap empati pengasuh pada anak binaan pada Panti Asuhan Bumi Moro Kecamatan Darul Imarah Kabupaten Aceh Besar. Sedangkan tujuan khususnya yaitu: untuk mengetahui bentuk-bentuk empati pengasuh dalam pengasuhan anak binaan, untuk mengetahui sikap pengasuh yang menunjukkan empati pada anak binaan dilihat dari verbal dan non verbal, untuk mengetahui respon anak binaan terhadap empati yang diberikan oleh pengasuh. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi, dokumentasi dan wawancara dengan teknik purposive sampling dengan 5 kriteria dan 7 orang responden, teknik analisis data menggunakan reduksi data, penyajian data, penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil yang di peroleh dalam penelitian ini meliputi: (1) Bentuk-bentuk empati pengasuh dalam pengasuhan anak binaan sudah berhasil dilakukan dengan cara memeluk, meranggkul dan mengusap kepala anak asuh ketika mendengarkan persoalan yang dialami anak asuh di panti asuhan. (2) Sikap pengasuh yang menunjukkan empati pada anak binaan dilihat dari verbal dan non verbal pengasuh sudah memberikan perhatikan terhadap anak asuh dengan cara menjenguk anak asuh ke kamar, duduk bersama anak asuh, ikut makan bersama dan sebagainya sehingga anak asuh merasa ada yang peduli terhadap dirinya. (3) Respon anak binaan terhadap empati yang diberikan oleh pengasuh diketahui bahwa anak asuh bahagia dan nyaman tinggal di panti asuhan karena memiliki pengasuh yang lemah lembut dan perhatian terhadap diri anak asuh. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa sikap empati pengasuh dapat membantu mengetahui perasaan dan kondisi yang dialami oleh anak binaan.

This study examined the behavioral changes induced by butachlor to the juveniles of Clarias gariepinus. The experiment consists of five treatments (0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0 mg/l) and a control. Ten fishes were allotted in each test tank in duplicates. Observations on behavioral responses were made at 0, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours post-exposure. The opercular movement and tail fin beat rates were observed as counts per minute using a stopwatch. The behavioral patterns of the fish in the control group were normal, whereas in the exposed groups the fish tend to lose equilibrium and swim erratically with vigorous jerky movements. At the 12th and 24th hours the fish in the exposed groups showed hyper-active movement, but became hypoactive at the 48th hour. The mean values of the tail fin beat of the exposed groups were significantly higher (p

It is often assumed that intellect is the most important element in determining whether or not a person would be successful in learning a second language. When compared to someone with a moderate IQ, someone with a high IQ learns a second language faster. However, this is not always the case. In my perspective, not every person with a high IQ finds it difficult to learn a second language. Other research discovered other factors that influence someone's performance in learning a second language. This demonstrates how various things impact someone's decision to learn a second language. The most significant variables in learning a second language are social variables. As a result, if they have medium intellect, learning a second language is not an issue. If they acquire a second language in a supportive atmosphere, they will be able to master the second language. As a result, selecting a decent social context in which to learn a second language is the most efficient approach to master it.

Background: The risk factors of neonatal jaundice are largely known, yet there is little agreement on the association between it and perinatal asphyxia. Aim: To investigate the association between severe perinatal asphyxia (SPA) and the risk of clinical jaundice (NNJ) among neonates managed at the Federal Medical Centre, Azare, Nigeria. Methodology: Case control design was employed. Medical records of 315 babies managed at the special care baby unit from 1st January, 2011 to 31st December, 2018 were analysed. The exposure of interest was SPA and the outcome was jaundice. Logistic regression was applied to demonstrate the relationship between neonatal jaundice and SPA. Relative risk was provided as odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Results: Sixty-three cases and 252 controls were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the cases (4.39) and that of the controls (4.95 ) did not differ significantly (t= -0.52, P= 0.30). One hundred and fifty-six (61.9%) of the controls were males while 34 (54.0%) of the cases were females. For 59 (93.7%) of the cases treatment for jaundice was done with phototherapy and 1.6% required exchange blood transfusion. SPA significantly reduced the risk of developing NNJ (adjusted OR = 0.27, P-value ˂ 0.01). Conclusion: We demonstrated a significantly reduced risk of developing neonatal jaundice with prior exposure to severe perinatal asphyxia. Prospective multicenter and community based studies correlated with serum bilirubin levels are recommended.

Ruqyah which is the method of treatment of the Prophet Muhammad is ruqyah shariah where the treatment uses verses of the Qur'an and prayers that come from as-sunnah by focusing on the belief that Allah SWT gave the disease and to Him, we ask for healing because of Allah Allah who gives healing. In this study, we discuss the study of ruqyah with the use of Al-Qur'an verses as treatment by students of PONPES Al-Fatah Pekalongan so that we can know what is done by students is ruqyah shariah which is allowed not to lead to shirk as ruqyah syirkiyyah. The study of the living Qur'an on the existence of ruqyah syar'iyah, which is increasing to sahabah to Allah SWT and making human knowledge about the great verses of Allah SWT can affect human health both on physical, mental, and non-medical health.
