    قراء الصحابة الذين تلقوا عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ووصلتنا أسانيدهم (Reciters Among The Companions of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) Who Received From The Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him), and Their Chai

    Qira'at is a followed Sunnah that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) received it on the authority of Gabriel, then the Companions on the authority of the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah bless him and grant him peace). Moreover, the Muslims received it on the authority of greatest scholars of the time. Except it appeared those who claim that Qira'at does not need to put effort and hard work until they reached their case to the mistake of those who are wholly engaged in and preoccupied with the teaching of Qira'at one-on-one . So herein lies the problem. The study aims to explain the Companions who received on the authority of the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and their chain of narrators, as found in the books of the categories of Huffaz (experts of Quran &Qira'at), in order to show that Qira'at must be taught in person and one-on-one at the time. In this study researcher used the descriptive analytical method. In addition, the researcher concluded in it that the reciters among the Companions who were mentioned by the scholars in the first generation are not confined to these groups only. Rather, they mentioned only those whose chain of narrators reached us, or their students were famous, and were famous for their reading. There are reciters among the Companions whose chain of narrators did not reach us, such as Salim Mawla ibn Abu Hudhayfa. There are also reciters among the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them and satisfied with them, who were famous for reciting such as Ibn Abbas and Abu Hurairah, but most likely, they received most of the Holy Qur’an from other companions. Therefore, who wrote in the history of Huffaz and their categories, counted them among those who did not receive it from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Companions gave preference Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) when collecting and compiling the Noble Qur’an over Ibn Masoud. It was not because Zaid was better than Ibn Masoud in Quran & Qira'at (Ibn Mas’ud was known for his command and majesty of his worth) but because Zaid was more skilled in calligraphy and this was the occasion of writing at that time

    Molecular profiling and detection methods of microRNA in cancer research

    No full text
    A large portion of human genome was believed to be “useless” and termed as “junk DNA” in the past, given that these sequences did not have any protein coding role. However, with more researchers dwelling into the world of these mysterious genetic codes, a group of non-protein coding RNA (ncRNA) known as microRNAs (miRNAs) is now being recognized to play important roles than they were thought to be. In truth, the first discovery of miRNA was in a simple organism -nematode (scientific name: Caenorhabditis elegans), whereby a mutant displayed aberrant morphological changes. Years after that, researchers then realized that these miRNAs are actually important regulatory molecules — controlling cell division signaling, apoptosis and so on. In fact, the unusual expression of miRNAs has also been associated in etiology of various cancers. Acting like a “double-edge” sword, miRNAs can control and/or act as tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes, thus any unwanted alterations in their expression would bring upon disastrous effects on the host. Therefore, the current review aims to summarize the molecular detection tools that are available for miRNA profiling in cancer research

    The breathing technique helps in anxiety management based on psycho-physiological correlates of slow breathing. The psycho-physiological changes due to the brain-body interaction are observed in normal individuals and anxiety patients. Patients trained and practicing diaphragmatic breathing technique and people who practice breath control by meditation have demonstrated slowing down of breath frequency. There are limited studies regarding mechanisms involving breath control and its psychophysiological effects. This review study is aimed at exploring psychophysiological mechanisms underlying slow breathing techniques followed in the east and west and their effects on healthy subjects. This literature review completed using electronic databases such as PubMed, Medline, and Scopus databases using keywords such as breathing techniques, psychophysiology of breath control, meditation and breath control, relaxation and breathing technique, cardiorespiratory fitness and relaxing the nervous system. The current study analyzed 62 articles from the year 1970 to 2019. The main effects of slow breathing techniques have proven psychophysiological correlation paving to psychological/behavioral outputs that had increased comfort, relaxation, pleasantness, vigor and alertness, and reduced symptoms of arousal, anxiety, depression, anger, and confusion

    The current demand of education has changed the teaching and learning processes from traditional face-to-face learning to online distance learning (ODL). This study aims to explore students’ readiness in experiencing ODL. This study utilised quantitative approach to obtain the data. The instrument used was questionnaire with seven sections. The questionnaire was distributed to the Diploma and Bachelor’s Degree students from public and private universities. The data were analysed using SPSS v 25 software and presented in the tables in the form of means, t-test and one-way ANOVA. Based on the results, there is a significant difference between students of different levels of education in terms of their readiness to undergo ODL. The six aspects of ODL readiness significantly determine how ready the students were in terms of availability of technology, use of technology, self-confidence, acceptance, self-directed learning, and training. It can be concluded that most of students seemed to be unsure whether they were ready to experience ODL in the aspects of the availability of technology and their acceptance to learn through ODL. Other than that, the students are almost ready in adapting themselves to go through ODL. The significant stakeholders such as, universities, faculties and educators need to have better understanding of students’ readiness to undergo ODL and be prepared to experience more of ODL

    A study was carried out to investigate the effects of various growing media on the reproductive and vegetative rose plants growth. The rose seedling was collected from a commercial nursery, located at Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. Five growing media (Bris soil + perlite as control, agropolis media, microbial media, garden soil media, and Garden soil + poultry manure) were used. The tryout was set in accordance with Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 replicates. Garden soil with addition of poultry manure showed the best growing media for the production of Rosa hybrida in terms of the number of flowers, total soluble solids content of leaf, the diameter of flower, the length of petal, the number of petals, the length of root and the carotene content of the rose petal. Flower longevity in potted rose plants was also highest in garden soil plus poultry manure media. There was a linear correlation among flower number, leaf TSS content and between flower longevity with leaf TSS content in potted rose plants. Results of the study provided how the growth and development quality of cut flower production in Rosa hybrida could be improved

    Recently, e-learning has grabbed researchers’ attention due to its crucial role on most levels of education and learning patterns, especially in higher education and postgraduate levels. Consequently, there is a dearth of research that explored e-learning perceptions in mainstream K-12 classes. This study aims to identify teachers’ and students’ perceptions of e-learning in primary schools in a technology supportive school in RiyadhSaudi Arabia. A quantitative research design was followed; Two web-based questionnaires were conducted and analysed using descriptive statistical analysis, using five-point Likert scale. Findings revealed positive perceptions of e-learning from both teachers (M=4.07) and students (M=4.08). Overall teachers agreed that e-learning helped them to develop their technological skills which made the learning process more effective and efficient and led to improvements in their productivity and promoted their knowledge. Students, on the other hand, revealed that e-learning helped them to promote their computer skills and motivated them to learn better because it supported them with better opportunities to use different technological tools to conduct research, get knowledge and to interact more effectively with their peers and teachers. Surprisingly, both teachers and students agreed that e-learning was not the only way to deliver knowledge in schools though it facilitated the learning process and made it more accessible. Overall perceptions of both surveys reflected teachers’ and students’ satisfaction of e-learning. However, as e-learning is a developing field in Saudi Arabia and the entire world, this study adds new perspectives to the modest literature conducted so far in primary schools and literature on this vein

    The influence of modern video games on children’s second language acquisition

    No full text
    This study investigates the influence of modern video games on children’s Second Language Acquisition (SLA). The study employs a qualitative, case study approach. The data were obtained through observations from a 7-year-old child selected via purposive sampling. The data were analyzed through a deductive thematic approach and discussed using Schema Theory to evaluate the participant’s usage of the English language learned from video games. By analyzing and understanding this phenomenon, the researchers are inclined to understand how modern video games enable children to absorb knowledge and acquire a second language faster than other methods. We hypothesize that the acquisition of a second language is caused by the Critical Period Hypothesis (CPH) through the facilitation of communication and context between the player and the video games. This research aspires to provide more insights into the prospect of video games as a tool for language acquisition
