    The Life of Hedonism from the Perspective of Al-Tabari and Sayyid Muhammad Rashid Rida (Comparative Study of Tafsir Surah Ali Imran: 14)

    No full text
    The Qur'an not only tells us about prohibitions and commands, but also talks about the problems of the lives of previous people. Among them are illustrated by the human lifestyle that prioritizes pleasure and physical luxury. Based on the hedonistic lifestyle, it certainly has 'ibrah that can be learned if an in-depth study of the life of hedonism is carried out. The author wants to examine the life of hedonism from the perspective of al-Tabari and Sayyid Muhammad Rasyid Rida. This paper uses a qualitative approach that is classified into library research with library materials, especially Jami' al-Bayan fi Ta'wil Ayi al-Qur'an and Tafsir al-Manar and uses comparative data analysis. The conclusion in this paper is that the life of hedonism according to al-Tabari and Sayyid Muhammad Rasyid Rida is an excessive human lifestyle and indulges in lust in reaching the pleasures of the world. The similarities and differences according to these two mufassirs are almost the same in interpreting the life of hedonism in surah Ali Imran verse 14 that Allah SWT makes beautiful in human views of the pleasures of the world, namely women, children, large assets of gold and silver, selected horses, livestock and rice fields. Sayyid Muhammad Rasyid Rida besides agreeing with Imam al-Tabari, he added that human love for the beauty and pleasure of the world is not only specific to the Jews, but is general

    Developing domain-specific mashup tools for end users

    No full text
    The recent emergence of mashup tools has refueled research on end user development, i.e., on enabling end users without programming skills to compose own applications. Yet, similar to what happened with analogous promises in web service composition and business process management, research has mostly focused on technology and, as a consequence, has failed its objective. Plain technology (e.g., SOAP/WSDL web services) or simple modeling languages (e.g., Yahoo! Pipes) don't convey enough meaning to non-programmers. We propose a domain-specific approach to mashups that "speaks the language of the user", i.e., that is aware of the terminology, concepts, rules, and conventions (the domain) the user is comfortable with. We show what developing a domain-specific mashup tool means, which role the mashup meta-model and the domain model play and how these can be merged into a domain-specific mashup meta-model. We apply the approach implementing a mashup tool for the research evaluation domain. Our user study confirms that domain-specific mashup tools indeed lower the entry barrier to mashup development.

    Introduction:&nbsp;Basic life support (BLS), is the chain of survival and decreases the rate of cardiac arrest; health care professionals should know at least how to perform BLS individually as they may encounter such emergency very often. In the developed world, sudden cardiac death represents the single largest cause of natural death accounting for 12–18% of total mortality and 50% of cardiac mortality. Objectives:&nbsp;To determine the level of awareness regarding Basic Life Support and knowledge of involved skills and its practice among medical and non-medical personnel. Methodology:&nbsp;A retrospective study conducted by using valid questionnaire regarding Basic Life Support by 323 personnel. The results were analyzed with SPSS version 16. Results:&nbsp;Twenty-five questions were used to assess the level of knowledge/awareness and skills after BLS training. The percentage of correct answer varied from 33.1% to 95.7% for knowledge related items; and for skills items, it was varied from 35.3% to 68.4%. Conclusion:&nbsp;We recommend that Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation/Basic Life Support should be a basic skill across all medical and non-medical personnel. Key words:&nbsp;Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, Basic Life Support, KAP

    Stereotip dan fitnah terhadap wanita dalam Al-Quran: Analisis tafsir Al-Azhar terhadap surat Ali Imran ayat 14 dan surat Yusuf ayat 23-24

    INDONESIA: Skripsi ini mencoba mengangkat permasalahan masih adanya asumsi dalam masyarakat terhadap Stereotip dan fitnah wanita yang memposisikan mereka sebagai subordinasi, marginal, diskriminalisasi,sumber fitnah dan nafsu. Kedatangan Islam yang dibawa oleh Rasulullah Muhammad SAW, merupakan agama kasih sayang yang dalam ajarannya perempuan merupakan sosok yang dimuliakan. Penelitian ini bermaksud menjelaskan makna dan konteks stereotip dan fitnah terhadap wanita dalam Surat Ali Imran Ayat 14 dan Surat Yusuf Ayat 23-24 dalam Tafsir al-Azhar serta implikasi penafsiran ayat-ayat tersebut terhadap pemahaman masyarakat tentang peran dan kedudukan wanita. Dalam penelitian penulis menggunakan jenis Penelitian Normatif (library research) dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui kajian historis,konseptual dan interpretatif. Hasil penelitian ini penulis menyimpulkan bahwa Hamka salah satu mufassir Indonesia dalam Tafsir al-Azhar menjelaskan pada Q.S Ali Imran ayat 14 konteks stereotip wanita dengan sebutan an-nisa` merupakan makhluk diciptaan Allah yang menarik dan menjadi sosok yang disukai lawan jenisnya yakni laki-laki. Sedang wanita yang digambarkan pada Q.S Yusuf Ayat 23-24 pada hakekatnya makhluk secara fitrah memang memiliki hasrat nafsu terhadap lawan jenis dengan kondisi psikologisnya mengawali rayuan sebagaimana digambarkan dalam kisah Yusuf dan istri Raja. Pemahaman tafsiran ayat tersebut bukanlah bermaksud mengintervensi wanita sebagai sumber fitnah atau nafsu, ditegaskan bahwa laki-laki dan perempuan mempunyai potensi sang sama dalam hal itu, namun masing-masing seharusnya menjaga kehormatan dengan menggunakan akal sehat dan tetap memegangi aturan agama. ENGLISH: This thesis tries to raise the problem of the existence of assumptions in society regarding Stereotypes and slander of women that position them as subordinate, marginal, discriminated against, sources of slander and lust. The arrival of Islam brought by the Prophet Muhammad SAW, is a religion of compassion in whose teachings women are glorified figures. This study aims to explain the meaning and context of stereotypes and slander against women in Surah Ali Imran Verse 14 and Surah Yusuf Verse 23-24 in Tafsir al-Azhar and the implications of interpreting these verses on society's understanding of the role and position of women. In this study, the author used the type of Normative Research (library research) with a qualitative approach through historical, conceptual and interpretative studies. The results of this study, the author concluded that Hamka, one of the Indonesian mufassirs in Tafsir al-Azhar, explained in Q.S Ali Imran verse 14 the context of the stereotype of women with the term an-nisa` is a creature created by Allah who is attractive and becomes a figure that is liked by the opposite sex, namely men. While women described in Q.S Yusuf Verse 23-24 are essentially creatures who by nature have lust for the opposite sex with their psychological condition initiating seduction as described in the story of Yusuf and the King's wife. Understanding the interpretation of this verse is not intended to intervene in women as a source of slander or lust, it is emphasized that men and women have the same potential in this regard, but each should maintain their honor by using common sense and still adhering to religious rules. ARABIC: تحاول هذه الرسالة إثارة قضية الافتراضات المستمرة في المجتمع فيما يتعلق بالصور النمطية والافتراءات على المرأة والتي تضعها في موضع تابع، هامشي، معرض للتمييز، ومصدر للافتراء والشهوة. إن وصول الإسلام الذي جاء به النبي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، هو دين المحبة الذي كانت المرأة فيه شخصية عظيمة في تعاليمه. يهدف هذا البحث إلى توضيح معنى وسياق الصور النمطية والافتراء على المرأة في سورة آل عمران الآية ١٤ وسورة يوسف الآيتين ٢٣- ٢٤في تفسير الأزهر وكذلك انعكاسات تفسير هذه الآيات على فهم المجتمع لدور المرأة ومكانتها. في هذا البحث استخدم المؤلف أسلوب البحث المعياري (البحث المكتبي) بمنهج نوعي من خلال الدراسات التاريخية والمفاهيمية والتفسيرية. وتوصلت نتائج هذه الدراسة إلى أن حمكة، أحد المترجمين الإندونيسيين في تفسير الأزهر، يشرح في سورة آل عمران الآية ١٤ أن سياق الصورة النمطية للمرأة التي يطلق عليها اسم النساء هي مخلوق خلقه الله جذاب وشخصية محبوبة من الجنس الآخر أي الرجال. في هذه الأثناء، فإن المرأة الموصوفة في سورة يوسف الآيتين ٢٣-٢٤ هي في الأساس مخلوق لديه بطبيعته رغبات شهوانية تجاه الجنس الآخر مع حالتها النفسية التي تبدأ الإغواء كما هو موصوف في قصة يوسف وزوجة الملك. وليس المقصود من فهم تفسير هذه الآية التدخل في المرأة كمصدر للقذف أو الشهوة، بل يؤكد أن الرجل والمرأة لديهما نفس الإمكانات في هذا الصدد، ولكن يجب على كل منهما الحفاظ على شرفه باستخدام المنطق السليم مع الالتزام بالقواعد الدينية
