Comparison between two methods of variable resistance training on body composition, muscular strength and functional capacity among untrained males
No full textSeveral studies have shown a positive association between variable
resistance training (VRT) and improvements in muscular performance.
However, the effects of VRT on body composition among untrained
individuals remain unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the
comparison between of methods of VRT on body composition, muscular
strength and functional capacity among untrained male adults. Fifty healthy
untrained males (age: 21.5 ± 1.95 years) were selected randomly and
assigned into three groups: combined weight and chain (WC), combined
weight and elastic band (WE), and free-weight (CG). All three groups
completed 12 weeks of high intensity resistance training (70-80% of onerepetition maximum) with three sets of 8-12 repetitions two times per week.
Approximately 65% of the whole resistance was provided by free-weights,
while the other 35% of the resistance was provided by chains and elastic
bands for the WC and WE groups, respectively. Dependent variables
including body composition, muscular strength and functional capacity
using bioelectrical impedance analyzer, one-repetition maximum and
maximum repetitions to muscular fatigue were measured, respectively in
pre-test, post-test 1 (week 6) and post-test 2. Significance level was set at P
< 0.05. No differences existed among all groups at baseline for depended variables. A mixed model ANOVA with repeated measurements analysis
revealed that although there were not significant differences in body
composition among the groups (P > 0.05), all groups showed a significant
reduction in fat mass and significant increase in fat-free mass during and
after the intervention (P = 0.0001), and these differences were
insignificantly greater in WE and WC groups compared with CG group.
Furthermore, all three groups showed significant improvements in muscular
strength and functional capacity during and after intervention (P = 0.0001),
and muscular strength and functional capacity were greater in WE and WC
groups compared with the CG group, but there were not significant
differences in muscular strength and functional capacity between WE and
WC groups. However, the WE group showed insignificantly more
improvement in muscular strength and functional capacity compared with
the WC group during and after the intervention. The results of this study
show that VRT has a slightly better effect than free-weight to improve body
composition during and after 12 weeks intervention. Also, WE training had
a slightly better effect than WC training in improving muscular strength and
functional capacity during and after 12 weeks of VRT among untrained
male adults

The usage of google translator apps in translation of the arabic-language book into Indonesia and Malaysia: comparative review
No full textGoogle Translate is a service provided by Google to translate part of a text or web page into another language, with a limitation of the number of
paragraphs or a number of translated technical terms. In some languages, users are asked to attach alternative translations, such as alternative
translations of technical terms, for inclusion in future updates to the translation process. The vibrancy of translation of Arabic language religious books
in Indonesia is seen as significant compared to Malaysia which only records very few. At this point, the paper sheds a light on translation activity in
Malaysia and Indonesia as comparison. This paper intends to identify whether the motivation or motive has a major role behind the great effort of
Indonesia to translate the Arabic language religious books and what are the factors contributing to the slowdown of Arabic language translation in
Malaysia. Based on the observation, many studies in the field of translation involve the translation of foreign languages into Malay such as Thai-Malay,
Chinese-Malay and French-Malay languages but Arabic translation into Malay is very little. This study uses qualitative methods by analysing documents,
articles and studies on translation of Arabic language religious books in Indonesia and Malaysia. The findings show that ideology and education motives
are a key factor for translators in Indonesia to continuously conduct translation activities. In addition, economic motives also encourage translators and
publishers to quickly translate and publish religious books. In Malaysia, there are some challenges and constraints that contribute to the delays in the
translation and publication of religious books, among which are strict censorship and control in the religious ideology. Additionally, publishing activities
thatare more focused on the results of scientific journal writing in educational institutions rather than translation of books also caused translation
activity to be quite slow. Other than that, weak funding and marketing strategies also affect the national book industry. However, the translation
activities of religious books should not be looked down upon. Serious attention is needed by some parties to address these issues in order to ensure that
the world's finest works are well-translated and attract more translators to engage in these fields

No full textUndoubtedly ،poetic verses that support grammatical usages have paramount significance in the
explanation and preservation of the Gracious Quran and its linguistic integrity. Therefore ، Quran
exegetes have been generally keen to collect poetry and quote relevant verses in support of the
opinions and rules they adopted. Going through Mafateeh al-Ghayb ، one will come up with such
distinguishing characteristics that make it a true masterpiece of genuine exegesis. It is
distinguished with various quoted poetic verses that suit relevant subjects. Al-Razi has a special
methodology in quoting these poetic verses as evidences for grammatical usages. This paper aims
to exhibit this methodology with its detailed procedures and steps as compared to other similar
books of Quranic exegesis. The paper employs the analytical approach to explore this methodology
in an attempt to reveal how successful was such a brilliant exegete in quoting supportive poetic
verses and employing them in proper contexts to expound the meanings of Quranic verses and
their implications
Perselisihan antara gerakan al-asya`irah dan salafiyyah: analisis pendekatan ulama ahl sunnah wa al-jamaah
No full textAntara isu yang melahirkan gejala takfir dalam masyarakat ialah
pertelingkahan antara gerakan al-Asya`irah dan gerakan
Salafiyyah. Penulisan ini akan mengulas perselisihan tersebut
dari sudut latar belakang, analisis isu dan melihat isu tersebut
melalui kacamata pendekatan ulama ahl Sunnah wa al-Jamaah.
Kumpulan yang dimaksudkan dengan gerakan Salafiyyah dalam
perbincangan ini, ialah mereka yang berpegang dengan fahaman
yang dipelopori oleh Taqiyuddin Ibn Taymiyyah (1262 – 1327
M) dan Muhammad ‘Abd Wahab (1702-1787 M). Dari sudut
fikah, mereka tidak terikat dengan mazhab yang tertentu.
Sementara pengertian gerakan al-Asya`irah pula, ialah mereka
yang mendokong pendekatan akidah yang dibawa oleh al-Imam
Abu Hasan al-‘Asy`ari (874 – 936) dan al-Imam Abu Mansur alMaturidi. Dari aspek fikah pula mereka berpegang dengan
mazhab Syafie. Pengertian gerakan Salafiyyah dan al-Asya`irah
di atas mengikut penelitian penyelidik adalah dilihat melalui
kerangka umum. Penulisan ini meneroka dari aspek punca
pertembungan serta meneliti pendekatan ulama ahl Sunnah wa alJamaah dalam menangani isu ini. Berdasarkan kepada
pendekatan tersebut, tuduhan takfir tidak wajar dilemparkan
antara kedua-dua pihak, pertama, kerana kekufuran hanya boleh
disabitkan oleh nas dan ijmak ulama. Kedua, pendekatan tidak
menentukan kekufuran kepada peribadi tertentu secara khusus
dan ketiga, tidak boleh mengumumkan kekufuran kepada umat
Islam yang melakukan perkara-perkara bidaah dan khurafat.
Apatah lagi, jika mereka yang jahil agama dan kejahilannya itu
adalah penghalang yang mewajarkan tuduhan takfir
Determine the impact of the internal environment on empowering female employees in the academic field at Istiqlal university
No full textThis study aims to identify the impact of the internal environment and its relation with the
empowerment of employee (female/) in the academic field: Case study (Ali Istiqlal University).
This study is descriptive according to qualitative approach using a non-probable sample by social
survey by the sample method in the College of Administrative Sciences. The total of the study
community has reached (141) faculty members at Istiqlal University, and the sample was
restricted to faculty members in the Department of Public Administration at the Faculty of
Administrative Sciences and they are (15) faculty members. In this connection the researcher
relied on an interview guide from his preparation, and the interviews were conducted from the
viewpoint of the faculty members in the Department of Public Administration. Where the results
of the study revealed that the university environment is a bureaucratic environment dominated by
the male style, which is a reflection of the prevailing societal culture, as the candidates for senior
positions are always men, being more influential from the point of view of the institution and there
is no feeling that they are possible in the organization or influences in general in their workplace
This may be because of selectivity as the challenges facing academies in the administrative
environment due to centralization and the lack of a clear system of incentives and rewards prevent
their empowerment, there is a great shortage in terms of the material aspect of the university of
furniture and office equipment and the lack of complete infrastructure in the fact that the
university is modern and under development. The results of the study reached a set of
recommendations, the most prominent of which is the removal of bureaucratic obstacles
hindering the leadership of faculty members and finding a gender balance in employment and
scholarships by Palestinian higher education through systems that guarantee the right to equal
access to opportunities, and reducing centralization through delegation and empowerment And responsibilities for academies. Create a clear, stable and fair system of incentives and rewards,
provide appropriate financial conditions, fight wasta and adopt transparency in employment
