Effects of Different Harvesting Ages on Chemical Composition of Five Napier Grass (Pennisetum Purpureum) Varieties
No full textThe objective of this study is to determine the effects of the different harvesting ages (45 days, 60 days and 75 days) on the chemical composition of five Napier grass varieties. This research was conducted at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) Farm in Pasir Akar, Besut, Terengganu. The proximate analysis was used to analyze the chemical compositions of moisture, ash, crude fiber, crude protein and fat, while the mineral compositions of magnesium, potassium, aluminium, phosphorus, and calcium were analyzed and measured using the dry ashing method and Induced Couple Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The findings of this study showed that most chemical compositions of five Napier varieties were decreased (p < 0.05) as harvesting age increased. The proximate composi-tions of all varieties show significantly decreased (p < 0.05) as age increased which is the moisture, ash, crude fiber, crude protein, and fat were decreased at age 75 days. Among the five varieties, Dwarf Napier shows the highest of crude protein (25.51%) followed by In-dia Napier (22.44%), Uganda Napier (18.45%), Red Napier (18.26%) and Zanzibar Napier (16.78%), respectively. The mineral composi-tions of potassium and phosphorus of five varieties were decreased as age harvesting increased. Thus, this study showed that the harvest-ing ages affect to the chemical composition of the Napier grass and day 45 is the optimum age for harvesting which is providing high nutritive value of animal feed
Assessment of Seasonal and Spatial Surface Marine Water Quality Variation in Semerak River Estuary, Malaysia
No full textMangrove estuary is a part of the mangrove ecosystem which plays an important role for the whole ecosystem. Purposely, this study is to assess the spatial and seasonal variation of surface marine water quality in Semerak River estuary. Dissolved oxygen (DO), unionized ammonia (NH3N), total suspended solid (TSS), nitrate (NO3), oil and grease (O&G), phosphate (PO4), faecal coliform (FC), pH, salinity and conductivity are the measured parameters using in-situ and ex-situ technique. Surface marine water samples collected in two mon-soon -Southwest Monsoon (July 2016 to September 2016) and Northeast Monsoon (November 2016 to January 2017). The analytical and statistical results indicate that the surface water of the Semerak River estuary that the possible pollution sources coming from major agri-culture, fertilizers, fishing boat and sand mining, natural environment from weathering of geologic sources, surface runoff and oil-spill from fishing boat. Marine water samples of future monitoring studies in mangrove estuary will benefit by enabling understanding of pollution loading and coastal water quality. It is essential to plan a workable water quality modelling as powerful tool to simulate marine water quality and forecast future consequences to facilitate mangrove biodiversity conservation. The chemical composition of surface marine water in both season is strongly influenced by anthropogenic inputs
Evaluation on Accessibility and Usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT): Insights from Smallholders in Johor, Malaysia
No full textIn today’s age of modernization, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has played a very important role in the development of agriculture sector. This technology has brought a significant change in agricultural development where farmers can directly communi-cate with traders, government, buyers, and producers. However, due to lack of knowledge and information, farmers are not getting the benefits from these technologies. To understand this, a study was conducted to find out the level of accessibility of ICTs among small-holder farmers. To further understand this issue, the study aims to determine the determinants or critical factors that influence the level of ICT accessibility among oil palm smallholders. A random sampling technique was used to select a total of 85 smallholders in the study area while an administered structured interview schedule on the selected respondents were used for data collection. Frequency counts, percentages and a multiple regression analysis were used in the data analysis. Results revealed that majority of the respondents were males (96.5%), a high percentage (71.8%) chose to use personal computer as their ICT tools while 24% used mobile phone to get access or gain more agricultural and inputs information. The paper concluded that network factor and socio-economics such as age and educa-tional level were the most significant factors that influenced the accessibility of ICTs among oil palm smallholders in Johor, West Ma-laysia

أسباب المفردات الفقهية عند أئمة المذاهب
No full textMany followers do not understand the disagreement and differences in opinion amongst Islamic jurists. Adequate explanation regarding the various motives for jurisprudential vocabulary by Imams of the schools of Islamic jurisprudence could provide followers with useful information. This study aims to provide detailed explanation about the rationale behind jurisprudential vocabulary in order to increase understanding of religion. The study focuses on religious texts and how to deal with issues whose rules are not established. The researcher used inductive and comparative methods to gather and analyze these motives. One of the most important findings of this study is that the motives for jurisprudential vocabulary constitute a collection of processes involved in every disagreement amongst the scholars. These motives can be summed up into several key points: First, regarding the narration and knowledge about the texts; second, pertaining to the competence in terms of understanding and knowledge of its requirements; third, regarding what it does or does not incorporate of issues whose rules are not established; and fourth: a person working on Ijtihad (juristic deduction) must strive to produce valid evidence, and such person is excused for any mistake and rewarded for Ijtihad. A situation whereby the person who has not been informed of the Hadith or considers it inaccurate in a ruling and based the jurisprudence on a Shar'ia evidence is considered closest to the truth. This is because realizing the truth in all rulings is impossible. The differences in opinion amongst the scholars are neither on the basics of religion nor at the core of Shariah, but only differences in the understanding of certain religious texts and their application

(PENSION RETIREMENT IN ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE AND THAILAND LABOUR LAW)
No full textA pension retirement is a type of insurance and termination indemnity if the specified
conditions are met. The worker is entitled to the sum of the money, or to the dependents, that
the pension is a sum of money due to the employee or employee after the termination of
employment or when he reaches a certain age or because of his retirement from work, and
pension also guaranteed until the death of the person, and under the Thailand Labor Law
on pensions and retirement they did not address for civil institutions or companies because
workers or employees in enterprises or companies did not have a pension and retirement
scheme.The methodology used by the researcher in the preparation of this research is under
two methodology: first the Inductive Method, under this method the researcher tried to
deduce first the texts of the Holy Quran, then the Prophetic Sunnah (Hadith), and then the
sources of other Islamic legislation that related to the subject, and the second method is the
Descriptive Analytical Approach. The researcher in this study analyzed the views of the
scholars on the subject. All statements and evidence are stated along with indications of the
evidence of relation and mental evidence that we need, and the most important findings of
the study is to say that the jurists have entered the pension after the completion of his
service, we find that the law has a defect and lack of reality on this matter, and the end of
service reward in Islamic jurisprudence, we find that the worker is entitled to reward end of
his service if the conditions are met, and the remuneration from either the State or the
company or factories paid at the end of the work, and the end of service and the beneficial
in the Thailand Labor Law has addressed under Article (118) and it depends on the workers
according to the length and time of work if they are working for the long term they will
receive the end of service reward at a large amount. May Allah Bless our Prophet
Muhammad SAW and his all families and companions. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the
