Receiving information from indirect sources is common in daily lives. This may be due to the time constraint, giving priority to one’s current engagement, physical distance, mandatory non-face-to-face communication, and other factors. In fact, most of an individual’s time is spent on processing indirect information whether one deals with his office work or family matters. This chapter shows the extent of congruence that is identified by a co-author based on the description of the other two co-authors who attended the talk on the topic of “Budi,” “Sejahtera,” and “Leadership.” The lead author created and sent an attachment that contains a combination of dichotomous and open-ended questions related to the three-terminology theme to the other co-authors for their independent views. He analyzed their textual opinions and produced his analysis of the converging and diverging themes based on the opinions provided. This case study helps people become aware of the varying amount and depth of information acquired by listeners to a public lecture, moreover via online platform rather than among the audience of a lecture in a hall. In this case, only two listeners are involved, making content analysis easy.

Sirrul asrar (book review)
No full textOverview of the Book:
The book deals with many Islamic Sufi teachings and practices. The author, As-Syeikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jailani (1077-1166) is a great Sufi scholar who hails from Persia, presently known as Iran.In his book the author explains many issues with regard to Ibadah viewed from the Syariah and Tariqat perspectives. Written in the Sufi way, the book has a blend of philosophy, metaphysics and religion (Islam) in it. Sometimes it is difficult for a reader to differentiate the information as to whether it is the religious teaching of Islam or a philosophical idea. Among other things the book engages its readers in discussing whether is it possible to have a vision through the (Basyirah Batin/eye of the heart) of Allah in this worldly life, disciplining of the Nafs (the human self), the concept of happiness and misfortune, who is a Fakir (the one dependent on Allah), Cleanliness, Solat (Prayer), Fasting (Saum) Charity(Zakah), Pilgrimage (Haji), Religious Seclusion (Khalwah& Uzlah), Sleep & Dream interpretation, etc. The great passion that has gone into producing this work raises a crucial question as to whether it was written by the Great Syeikh or by his disciples, upon the demise of the master. It looks as though many things were written in an exaggerated way by his disciples, perhaps a recollection of ideas communicated to them by the master
Ramadan fasting alters food patterns, dietary diversity and body weight among Ghanaian adolescents
No full textAbstract Background Ramadan is a monthlong fast for healthy adolescents and adult Muslims. The quality of foods eaten and eating patterns in Ramadan may be different from other months of the year. Food intake of adolescents is a concern as energy and nutrient requirements are higher and needed to support the growth spurt of this stage. The objective of the present study was to describe the food patterns, dietary diversity and body weight changes among adolescents during Ramadan. Methods A prospective cohort study design with four measurement points (baseline, midline, endline and post endline) was conducted among 366 adolescents in Junior High Schools. Food pattern was assessed with a food frequency questionnaire, a 24-h dietary recall was used to assess dietary diversity and body weight was measured using an electronic scale. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare changes in dietary diversity scores (DDS) and weight of pupils. Results Half of the pupils (50.3%) were female and average age was 15.9 ± 1.8 years. Pupils fasted for an average of 28.3 ± 4.0 days and 14.3 ± 0.5 h a day (dawn to dusk) during Ramadan. The number and types of dishes taken at meal times differed substantially between Ramadan periods and outside Ramadan. Consumption of vitamin A-rich fruits, other fruits, and milk and milk products increased markedly during Ramadan. However, fasting came with a reduction in consumption of foods from roots and tubers, legumes and nuts, and dark green leafy vegetables while other food groups remained unchanged. Mean DDS increased significantly during Ramadan (F (2.933, 1070.573) = 7.152, p < 0.001) while mean daily meal frequency decreased (F (2.936, 1071.623) = 51.653, p < 0.001). There was significant body weight loss (-1.5 kg (95% CI: -1.1 kg to -1.6 kg)) among adolescents (F (2.656, 958.95) = 304.90, p < 0.001). Weight loss was short-lived; regained one month after Ramadan. Conclusion In this prospective cohort study among schooling Ghanaian adolescents who fast during Ramadan, fasting was characterised by marked changes in usual food patterns, increased dietary diversity and significant body weight loss
Dietary patterns and associated factors of schooling Ghanaian adolescents
No full textAbstract Background Assessment of single nutrients or foods does not normally reflect the diet of population groups. Dietary pattern analyses are useful in understanding the overall diet and its relationship with disease conditions. The objective of the present study was to determine the dietary patterns and associated factors among schooling adolescents in Northern Ghana. Methods A cross-sectional study involving 366 pupils in 10 junior high schools in the Tamale metropolis was conducted. A Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) which consisted of 60 commonly consumed foods was used to assess pupils’ 7-day intake. Foods grouped (14) from FFQ data based on shared nutritional value were used to identify dietary patterns using principal component analysis (PCA). Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the association between identified patterns and sociodemographic, anthropometric status, and household characteristics of pupils. Results Half of the pupils were female (50.3%) and average age was 15.6 ± 2.0 years. PCA identified two dietary patterns which in total explained 49.7% of the variability of the diet of pupils. The patterns were sweet tooth pattern (STP) with high factor loadings for sugar sweetened snacks, energy and soft drinks, sweets, tea and coffee, and milk and milk products, and a traditional pattern (TP) which showed high factor loadings for cereals and grains, local beverages, nuts, seeds and legumes, vegetables, and fish and seafood. Logistic regression showed that pupils who lived with their parents [AOR = 1.95; 95% CI (1.1–3.4); p = 0.019], those who went to school with pocket money [AOR = 4.73; 95% CI (1.5–15.0); p = 0.008], and those who lived in the wealthiest homes [AOR = 3.4; 95% CI (1.6–7.5); p = 0.002)] had higher odds of following the STP. The TP was associated with high dietary diversity (p = 0.035) and household wealth [AOR = 3.518; 95% CI (1.763–7.017); p < 0.001)]. None of the patterns was associated with anthropometric status of pupils. Conclusion Adolescents in the present study followed a sweet tooth or a traditional diet pattern which associated more with household- and individual-level factors but not anthropometric status
DDS and Seasonality Data_Abizari et al 2016.sav
No full textData-set on the effect of seasonality on the Dietary Diversity of school children in northern Ghana. We assessed the dietary diversity score (DDS) of the school-age children
at two different time points using a qualitative 24-hour dietary recall (24hR).
The baseline
assessment (October 2010) was conducted before the intervention and corresponded
with the onset of the dry season and the harvest of most crops especially
cereals, legumes like cowpea and some root tubers particularly sweet potatoes.
On the contrary, the follow-up assessment (May 2011) was conducted at the end
of the intervention and was in the rainy season coinciding with the lean period
when many households have their staple food (cereal and root tubers) stocks depleted. </div
Pembangunan politik era pemerintahan Najib Razak
No full textSetiap pemimpin yang menduduki kerusi nombor satu negara pasti berazam melakukan
perubahan yang lebih baik berbanding kepimpinan sebelumnya. Perubahan yang
dimaksudkan ini tertumpu kepada perubahan polisi atau dasar penting yang akhirnya
membawa kesejahteraan kepada rakyat secara umumnya. Apabila Najib Razak mengambil
alih tampuk pemerintahan negara daripada Abdullah Badawi pada tahun 2009, visi utama
beliau di dalam pentadbiran beliau ialah untuk melakukan perubahan yang positif dalam
aspek ekonomi, mobilisasi sosial, dan institusionalisasi politik terutamanya susulan
kemerosotan prestasi BN dalam PRU-12. Kajian ini menyelidik pembangunan politik ketika
era pemerintahan Najib Razak memimpin Malaysia. Skop temporal kajian ini adalah bermula
pada April 2009 sehingga 2018. Konsep utama yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah
konsep pembangunan politik Francis Fukuyama dan konsep modenisasi politik. Kajian ini
menggunakan reka bentuk penyelidikan kualitatif dengan datanya diperoleh dari sumber
primer dan sekunder. Sumber primer diperoleh menggunakan kaedah temu bual secara semi
struktural yang dijalankan dengan sembilan orang informan autoritatif. Sumber sekunder pula
diperoleh dari bahan-bahan seperti buku, jurnal, majalah, dan lain-lain lagi di beberapa
perpusatakaan terkemuka seperti Perpustakaan Negara, Perpustakaan Za’ba, Perpustakaan
Parlimen dan Perpustakaan Tun Sri Lanang. Hasil kajian ini mendapati berlakunya
pembangunan politik ketika era pemerintahan Najib Razak dalam aspek pertumbuhan
ekonomi, mobilisasi sosial, dan institusionalisasi politik. Dalam aspek pertumbuhan ekonomi,
era pemerintahan Najib Razak menyaksikan dasar ekonomi yang dipanggil sebagai
Najibnomics telah dilaksanakan seperti MEB, Program Transformasi Ekonomi, dan beberapa
dasar ekonomi yang seperti liberalisasi ekonomi, memperkenalkan BR1M, BB1M dan
pengenalan cukai GST yang lebih efisyen dan telus, berbanding SST. Hasil daripada dasardasar
tersebut, pertubuhan KDNK negara semakin positif selain kadar kemiskinan dan
pengangguran dapat dikurangkan dan pendapatan perkapita rakyat meningkat. Selain itu,
hasil kajian juga menunjukkan bahawa mobilisasi sosial ketika era pemerintahan Najib Razak
juga menunjukkan perubahan yang lebih baik. Hasil daripada pelaksanaan PTP menyaksikan
beberapa akta kontroversi dipinda dan dimansuhkan, partisipasi politik yang lebih aktif dapat
dilihat dan kebebasan media juga semakin terbuka. Di samping itu, dalam aspek
institusionalisasi politik hasil kajian mendapati keempat-empat institusi politik iaitu institusi
eksekutif, legislatif, kehakiman, dan birokrasi telah mengalami perubahan ketika era
pemerintahan Najib Razak iaitu dari 2009 hingga 2018. Perubahan positif yang wujud dalam
aspek pertumbuhan ekonomi, mobilisasi sosial, dan institusionalisasi politik ketika era
pemerintahan Najib Razak. (Abstract by author
