    No full text
    Makalah ini membahas tentang pelajaran penting dari orang-orang Rohingya yang dianiaya di Myanmar. Rezim Myanmar tidak mengakui keberadaan orang-orang Rohingya sebagai warga negara, karena mereka dianggap sebagai orang Bengali yang berasal dari Bangladesh. Masalah penolakan kewarganegaraan telah menyebabkan orang-orang Rohingya tinggal di limbo. Tidak seperti etnis lain di Myanmar, mereka ditolak haknya sebagai warga negara yang berdaulat. Situasi menjadi lebih buruk ketika warga setempat lainnya, karena alasan etnis dan agama, bergabung dengan rezim dalam melanggar dan menyalahgunakan hak-hak orang Rohingya. Oleh karena itu, orang-orang Rohingya dibiarkan sebagai individu tanpa kewarganegaraan di negara mereka sendiri dan dipaksa menjadi pengungsi untuk mencari kehidupan yang lebih baik. Kasus orang-orang Rohingya di Myanmar bisa menjadi pelajaran bagi warga Malaysia yang tinggal di negara multiras ini. Pemerintah dan rakyat Malaysia harus sadar bahwa kebijakan yang tidak adil dan kekerasan fisik dapat meningkatkan intensitas konflik dan menyebabkan implikasi buruk dalam hal perdamaian dan harmoni di negara ini. Oleh karena itu, beberapa prakarsa proses perdamaian yang memungkinkan dari pembangunan berkelanjutan harus diperkenalkan untuk mengubah kebijakan tertentu dan semakin memperkuat hubungan etnis di Malaysia untuk memastikan semua orang hidup bersama dalam kedamaian dan keharmonisan. This paper examines about the lesson learned of persecuted Rohingya people in Myanmar. The Myanmar regime does not recognize the Rohingyas as their people and accused them as Bengalis from Bangladesh. The issue of denied citizenship has caused the Rohingya people to live in limbo. Unlike other ethnics in Myanmar, they are denied the rights as sovereign citizens. The situation becomes worse when the other local citizens, for the reason of ethnic and religion matters, join forces with the regime in violating and abusing the Rohingyas. Therefore, the Rohingyas are left as stateless people in their own country and are forced to become refugees to seek a better life. The case of the Rohingya people in Myanmar can be a lesson learned for Malaysians who are living in a multi-society country. The government and the people have to be aware that unfair policy and physical violence could increase the intensity of conflict and cause bad implication in terms of peace and harmony in the country. Hence, several possible peace process initiatives of sustainable development must be introduced to transform the certain policy and further strengthen the ethnic relation in Malaysia to ensure everyone lives together in peace and harmony

    Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that had been used in poultry industry as alternative sources for antibiotic. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of probiotic mixed with cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta) on Cherry Valley Duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality. Lactobacillus spp. was used in this experiment to see its effectiveness in enhancing quality of cassava leaves as potential feed towards optimum growth performance of ducks like body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio, carcass characteristics and meat quality. 34 tails of Cherry Valley ducks aged 14 days with average weight of 500 g were randomly assigned to four treatments in triplicates. Treatments for the 35 days feeding trial were T1 at 0% probiotic + 75% commercial diet + 25% cassava leaves (control), T2 (0.15% probiotic + 75% commercial diet + 25% cassava leaves), T3 (0.30% probiotic + 75% commercial diet + 25% cassava leaves) and T4 (0.45% probiotic + 75% commercial diet + 25% cassava leaves) respectively. Proximate analysis was also conducted to determine nutritional content like protein, lipid, moisture, ash and fiber. Results show that supplementation of probiotic at 0.15% Lactobacillus spp. into 25% of cassava leaves and 75% commercial pellet gave highest body weight gain (BWG), low feed conversion ratio (FCR), highest carcass yield and good meat quality. It can be concluded that inclusion of probiotic at 0.15% in cassava leaves as duck’s diet gives good growth performance and may become an alternative super diet for duck in future

Also that how many claims were made to its simplification, books and literature were classified to make it easier and this is a vision in facilitating e-learning the rules of Arabic grammar through networked cooperative e-learning strategy. So the question is can introduce the rules of the Arabic educational grammar in an electronic template using modern technology means? To make it easier for learners of Arabic grammar to understand its rules and that is through application models in the light of the Quranic text, to understand it and to understand its context. Keeping pace with modern technological developments (inventions), the requirements and developments of the time, these factors push specialists of Arabic grammar to think about presenting its rules in various new ways. Maintaining its constants while benefiting from modern electronic technologies away from traditional ones that are concerned with preserving the rules in deaf molds, which led to the exclusion of many from learning the rules of Arabic grammar. There are many claims made to facilitate the teaching of Arabic grammar, beginning with Ibn Maḍ āʾ Al-Qurtubi in his book “al-Radd 'ala` al-Nuhat” Response to specialists of Arabic grammar. Second is Ibrahim Mustafa in his book “Revival of grammar,” and third Dr. Shawqi Daif in his preface of the book “Responding to specialists of Arabic grammar” by Maḍ āʾ Al-Qurtubi where he called for the necessity of a new classification of grammatical material. There are some other claims went in the field of renewal and facilitation

    Prayer is a must-do for every Muslim, starting from childhood. There is no denying that there are Muslim families who value prayer and some who are still lazy or do not perform prayers. Some issues were raised regarding the problem of not performing prayers in Muslim families, especially children. Among them is the need to design a special product as a supporter for this group to perform prayer without stress. So, this study explains the development of Islamic-based special product serves as a catalyst for early systematic training of prayer to Muslim children aged 7 to 10 years in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia. Although Terengganu is declared as the first Islamic state in the country, but to this day unfortunately many of the children of the age mentioned above have not performed their prayers properly. This may be due to the factors of laziness to prayer caused by the influence of entertainment from digital devices, the lack of prayer guidance from parents and guardians or the absence of special prayer products in the market. From the point of view of applied research methods, the special Islamic-based product has been produced through innovative design concept in which three essential elements are implanted namely aesthetics, practical and portable, and cultural and manufacturing acceptability. Further, the observation and interview techniques are performed when conducting the pilot tests, henceforth four design processes such as ideation and development, refinement and detailing, digital production and model making stages are used to complement the image of subject matter is well-fitted to the outcome of the study that offers low production costs, uniqueness looks and multipurpose applications. Therefore, the results of this study are in line with religious claims through the Quran and Hadith, besides helping the children to increase their devotion to God as a first step towards becoming a virtuous and responsible person

    Shoot generation and callus induction of Dioscorea hispida Dennst by different plant growth hormones and basal media

    No full text
    Dioscorea hispida Dennst produces tuber which possess valuable medicinal properties but unsustainable harvesting has led to its reduction. The plant propagates slowly because of its low tuber sprouting rate. In average, Dioscorea hispida Dennst tubers took approximately 60 d to break dormancy and sprout. Hence, callus culture is proposed as a possible efficient type of culture for manipulation of this species. In the present study, calli were induced from stem segments to evaluate callus culture potential of Dioscorea hispida Dennst. Results indicate that the combination of 1 mgL-1 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 1 mgL-1 6- benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.5 mgL-1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) in Gamborg (B5) medium improved callus multiplication and differentiation in the stem culture as opposed to those in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. The findings from the present study provide the basis of callus culture protocol for stem explant of Dioscorea hispida Dennst with B5 being the more effective basal medium
