Globally, volunteerism has been considered a substantial development of the state, as it almost all the times enhance the social welfare system and provides help for the needed people in society. Even though it has been highly recognised as one of the influential factors for social development in many countries, unfortunately, the involvement of people in volunteerism is lately reported declined, particularly among university students. The declining participation of university students in volunteerism activity is mainly as a result of a hectic schedule, financial problem and the distance of the activity that is too far away from campus. Other factors mentioned are mobility-related problems, have no suitable time, health problems, have no required skill, and focusing only on academic achievement

    Undoubtedly the flag of rhetoric rests on a group Examples and evidence that are shown by their explanation are the second meanings Underlying the first meanings of expression, This requires that the eloquent scholar be familiar in the first sense of the pretense of words, and then look for the hidden meanings of the author. The problem of research lies in the difficulty of the rhetorical lesson of non-Arabic speakers. They must first master language skills and control the first meanings so that they can access the second meanings that are essentially the subject of the rhetorical lesson. In addition, the Arabic language teacher often translates these examples into the language of the learner; if the teacher is not familiar with the source language and understands it and interprets its mother language, he cannot communicate the meaning of those examples. Those who do not master the translation go astray and mislead others. In this research, we have proved the problem of translating the language of the Qur'an in general because most of the examples of the Qur'an are derived from the Qur'an, and we have mentioned the causes of the problem of translating the Qur'an. Then we followed that with the problems of translating the analogy, metaphor and simile. We supported what we mentioned with examples of difficulty The Malay reader to translate the Arabic rhetorical. The result is that Arabic rhetoric is translated into language Malay is varied and makes it very difficult for students who non speak arabic to understand the lesson Rhetorical. The translator must therefore explain this to the Malay reader. Finally, the research provided some solutions to that problem

    It is well recognized throughout the history that religiosity, spirituality and the meditation practice have significant effects to the physical and mental health. Hence, this paper interested to evaluate the effectiveness of spiritual meditation on drug addiction recovery and its effects on psychological and mental health aspects. Three main databases in medicinal and psychology field were screened to identify the eligible studies which are PubMed, Cochrane and Scopus by using Boolean expression. Fourteen papers were included in this review. Standardized mean differences were calculated based on the intergroup mean difference and standard deviation followed by Cochran’s Q and I2 determination for heterogeneity analysis. The mean differences were statistically pooled in the meta-analysis and presented as a forest plot. The risk of bias was high for each study and assessed using the Jadad scale. The meta-analysis showed significant differences in across studies for addiction related outcome (I2 =27%, 95% CI: -1.703, -0.454), anxiety (I2 =0%, 95% CI: -0.874, -0.634) and stress (I2 =100%, 95% CI: -0.874, -0.634). In general, spiritual meditation may promote the addiction recovery as well as improve the psychological and mental health outcomes by reducing the depression, anxiety and stress symptoms. In conclusion, randomized control trial on spiritual meditation gave positive impact on the addiction behavior as well as mental health and clarifies its reliability on addiction therapy problems

    Right of cancellation for booking of short-term accommodation through digital economy platform before movement control order (MCO)

    No full text
    Nowadays, many hotel operators and homestay owners (host) advertise their assets for short-term accommodation through digital platforms in search of a wider market while offering positive options for customers in terms of its compatible prices and variety of choices. However, the recent Movement Control Order (MCO) declared by the Malaysian Government to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Malaysia's tourism industry. This had caused concern on the effect of the existing contracts entered by hosts and the guests via digital platforms as it was impossible for the parties to perform their contract, especially when the customers had made full payment of the bookings. Though MCO's effect has contributed great financial loss to the digital platforms and the hosts, the guests also suffered a loss due to the travel restriction and the money they have paid for the travel. Many hosts argued that since the MCO was an abrupt announcement from the government, they have discretionary power not to grant cancellation of booking since the contract's performance becomes impossible. Additionally, the digital platforms have provided terms or policies concerning the refund of payments, which applies to certain circumstances and the procedures stated in the platforms' policy statement. Thus, this article will analyse the legal effect of the frustrated contract with special reference to a booking made via digital platform before MCO and discuss the nature of the doctrine of frustration and force majeure in the contract law. The authors will adopt doctrinal and statutory analysis. Its findings will highlight the scope and effect of the doctrine of frustration in contracts entered with homestay owners via Malaysia's sharing economy platform

    No full text
    Conjugate gradient (CG) method approaches have been instrumental in solving unconstrained optimization problems. In 2020, Malik et al. have proposed a new hybrid coefficient (H-MS2), a combination of the RMIL coefficient and the new coefficient. In this paper, we propose the new method, which takes the new coefficients from H-MS2. Also, we will compare the new method and some of the classic methods that already based on the number of iterations and central processing unit (CPU) time. The new method fulfills the sufficient descent condition and global convergence properties, and it’s tested on a set functions under exact line search. The numerical results show that the new CG method has the best efficiency between all the methods tested
