    No full text
    This article discusses the figure of Hashim ibn ‘Abd Manaf as the leader of the Quraish nation. He is the ancestor of Rasulullah Saw, who was the first to open a new trade route outside the city of Mecca twice a year. By using literature research, this article finds historical information that the success of the Quraish nation was pioneered by one of the traders, who later became known as a leader and trading figure among them. Hashim ibn ‘Abd Manaf's character can be seen from his expertise in seeing opportunities to change the trade route (silk route) in the northern region, which was often disrupted by wars between Rome and PersIa. With his diplomatic techniques, Hashim ibn ‘Abd Manaf succeeded in proposing a change in the trade route from the north to the south that crossed Mecca. This path became known as the rihlat al-shita wa al-sayf path and was immortalized in the Koran with the revelation of the Quraish letter. The findings of this article provide an illustration that the success of a nation can be built through the nation's ability to seize opportunities. Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf was a leader who was able to see these opportunities and apply them to leading the Quraish nation.  Artikel ini membahas tentang sosok Hashim ibn ‘Abd Manaf sebagai pemimpin bangsa Quraish. Ia adalah nenek moyang Rasulullah Saw, yang merupakan orang yang pertama kali membuka rute baru perjalanan dagang ke luar kota Makkah sebanyak dua kali dalam setahun. Dengan menggunakan studi pustaka, artikel ini menemukan informasi historis bahwa keberhasilan bangsa Quraish dipelopori oleh salah seorang pelaku dagang yang di kemudIan hari dikenal menjadi pemimpin dan tokoh dagang di kalangan mereka. Ketokohan Hashim ibn ‘Abd Manaf terlihat dari kepIawaIannya dalam melihat peluang perubahan jalur dagang (jalur sutera) wilayah utara yang seringkali terganggu oleh peperangan antara Romawi dan PersIa. Dengan teknik diplomasinya, Hashim ibn ‘Abd Manaf, berhasil mengusulkan perubahan jalur dagang wilayah utara ke wilayah selatan yang melintasi Makkah. Jalur ini kemudIan dikenal sebagai jalur rihlat al-shita wa al-sayf dan dIabadikan dalam al-Quran dengan diturunkannya surat Quraish. Temuan artikel ini memberikan gambaran bahwa keberhasilan suatu bangsa, dapat dibangun melalui kepIawaIan meraih peluang yang dilakukan oleh bangsa itu sendiri. Hashim ibn ‘Abd Manaf merupakan seorang pemimpin yang mampu melihat peluang tersebut dan menerapkannya dalam memimpin bangsa Quraish.   &nbsp

    Late harvest associated with P and S fertilization enhances yield and quality of forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), grown as a rainfed crop in Pakistan

    To investigate the effect of harvest time associated with P and S fertilization on yield and quality of forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), grown as a rainfed crop in Pakistan, a field study was carried in summer 2009. Three levels of phosphorus (0, 30 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1), in combination with three levels of sulphur (0, 20 and 40 kg SO4 ha-1), in combination with three harvest times (35, 45 and 55 days after emergence; DAE), were tested in a factorial randomized block design. At each harvest, morphological, functional, yield and quality traits were assessed on plant samples. Extending the growing season from DAE 35 to 55 enhanced almost all the traits and greatly benefited dry biomass yield (ca. +100%). The longer growth also determined a higher efficiency in the accumulation of dry biomass per unit time and land surface (crop growth rate ca. +30%), as well as per unit time and leaf surface (net assimilation rate ca. +100%). Quality traits also improved when plants were harvested at a more advanced maturity: leaf hydrocyanic acid content, a toxic component to livestock, decreased by ca. 30%; stalk soluble-solid content, an indicator of forage juiciness and palatability, increased by ca. 50%. On concluding, the combined effects of harvest delay, P and S fertilization on sorghum are deemed able to significantly increase forage production in warm, relatively dry areas of the world

    Begayah / Batrisyia Abdul Manaf

    Begayah is a sewing workshop that sells traditional batik bags for young men and women as well as a variety of traditional clothing, including bridal costumes. The workshop's head, Rogayah binti Hashim, has been running it since its founding in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, in 1998. Begayah produced a large number of traditional batik bags using her own sewing abilities; she didn't rely on technology as much as they do now, but the workshop still uses years of knowledge and their own sweat and hard work to produce high-quality clothing and bags. Donating batik bags and dressing traditionally could raise awareness of Terengganu's customs and culture. Begayah was able to establish a complete tradition in the form of a bag because there weren't many companies offering batik bags. This way, visitors who have visited Terengganu may be drawn to them and be able to buy them as keepsakes. The biggest disadvantage is using unsightly advertising that only includes a picture and no information about the goods. Moreover, the company only keeps up a Facebook page; it doesn't have any other social media accounts or websites that provide adequate details about the product and company. I have to create a new identity for the customer in order to give the audience and buyers additional information. I will also create them a new website with additional ideas and tools. After that, instead of just using some text that seems random, I will create a more representative logo that represents the real goods the company sells. To advertise the new product I am designing, I also have to make merchandise, a new staff uniform, a car livery, and other things. I will then redesign print ads, posters, banners, and more—especially for online platforms. Lastly, and perhaps most crucially, I will make some recommendations for a brand-new advertising campaign to launch it

    Ru: Новая рекурсивная или же матричная модель мышления В этой статье на базе «функциональной асимметрии ЦНС» строится новый подход к механизму мышления, объединяющей подходы некоторых причастных дисциплин, в том числе психологии, неврологии, нечеткой логики и др. Утверждается, что циркуляция информации между полушариями, диверсифицируя ее, создает некую матрицу (калейдоскоп), расшифровка которой соответствует универсальным философским категориям и логическим понятиям. Парные наделения философских терминов (материя-движение, количество-качество…), их универсальность для всего человечества, параллелизм между философскими и лингвистическими категориями (материя = имя существительное, движение = глагол, количество = числительное, качество = прилагательное…) и др. считается результатом этой межполушарной ротации. --------------------------------------------------------------- En: NEW RECURSIVE OR MATRIX MODEL of THINKING In this article based on the "functional asymmetry of the Central Nervous System", a new approach to the mechanism of thinking, unifying approaches of some involved disciplines, including psychology, neuroscience, fuzzy logic, and others, is built. It is argued that the circulation of information between the hemispheres, diversifying it, creates some matrix (kaleidoscope), transcript of which corresponds to the universal philosophical categories and logical concepts. Paired endowing philosophical terms (the matter-and-movement, the number-and-quality, etc.), their versatility for all mankind, the parallelism between the philosophical and linguistic categories (materia = noun, movement = verb, number = numeral, quality = adjective, etc.) and others, is considered as a result of this interhemispheric rotation. In this paper a particular scheme of this mechanism is set out

    Construction of brick buildings is not new in building construction as it has been existed since many years ago. The buildings that are being constructed using the bricks might have their own identity and architectural style. However, the building will experience the changes as it grows over a period of time. It is important to take an action to protect the building from being destroyed physically before it worsens. In other words, those actions can be described as conserving action to the building as the actions involve making good to the building. These can be seen physically as the building facade is being protected and maintained for its appearance and function. Development of bricks building has been established since hundred years ago which every building has its own identity. Each building constructed will show the identity of surrounding culture and the time it was being constructed. However, the building that grew through a period of time will undergo the changes that can be seen physically. Hence the buildings need to be conserve so that the building can have longer life time performance. Conserving bricks building is not easy as it has some restrictions in achieving the purpose of the conservation. The bricks behavior itself contributes to the restriction. For instance, the bricks are a porous material which can permits water movement into the bricks. In a long term period, the water can penetrate into internal wall, which is one of the building problems

    Final Year Project Report Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Of Bachelor of Sciences (Hons.) Physics in the Faculty of Applied Sciences Universiti Teknologi Mara NOVEMBER 2010 Natural light is an important element in visual comforts. Daylighting is the practice of using natural light to provide illumination which includes direct, reflected and diffused light. Daylighting can be transmitted into the interior space of a building by using light pipe, window, lightshelf, skylight etc. In this project, the light pipe was used to transmitted the light into the interior space. Light pipe is a simple structure that allows transmission of daylight from outside to the inside of the room by means of reflection. However, the indoor illuminance is also affected by the colors of the interior walls due to the fact that different colors have different surface reflectance. In this study, the effect of the wall colors has quantified based on the real experiment under the real sky condition. The results should be a significant contribution as additional input data to studies related to energy effeciencies in buildings. This study presents the results of the effect of wall colors on indoor illuminance due to light pipe. Four interior colors were chosen in this experiment i.e white, blac
