MANAJEMEN MASJID DALAM MEMAKMURKAN MASJID ISLAMIC CENTER SYEKH ABDUL MANAN INDRAMAYU DI BIDANG IMARAH
No full textThe management of imarah which is applied by the mosque management in prospering the Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu Mosque is the center of attention and how the mosque management faces the opportunities and challenges that exist because it is an icon of Indramayu. The purpose of this research is to find out how the management system of the Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu Mosque in the field of emirates and to find out the opportunities and challenges in prospering the Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu Mosque. The research method uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this research indicate that the process of prospering mosques implemented by mosque administrators has met the requirements of existing mosque management knowledge, therefore the author can say that the Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu Mosque can be used as an example as well as a benchmark for mosques that others, especially those in the City of Indramayu, because the mosque management applied is almost close to perfection.
Manajemen imarah yang diterapkan oleh pengurus masjid dalam memakmurkan Masjid Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu menjadi pusat perhatian serta bagaimana pihak pengurus masjid dalam menghadapi peluang dan tantangan yang ada karena merupakan ikon Indramayu. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana sistem manajemen Masjid Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu di bidang imarah serta untuk mengetahui peluang dan tantangan dalam memakmurkan Masjid Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara dan doumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa proses dari memakmurkan masjid yang diterapkan oleh pengurus masjid sudah memenuhi syarat-syarat ilmu manajemen masjid yang telah ada, maka dari itu penulis dapat mengatakan bahwa Masjid Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu dapat dijadikan contoh sekaligus patokan untuk masjid-masjid yang lain, khususnya yang ada di Kota Indramayu, dikarenakan manajemen masjid yang diterapkan hampir saja mendekati kesempurnaan
Sea lice population and sex differences in P-glycoprotein expression and emamectin benzoate resistance on salmon farms in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada.
No full textParasitic sea lice are a major challenge for salmon aquaculture. This is especially due to recent development of resistance to emamectin benzoate (EMB) in the parasite. We investigated 1) whether EMB treatment success in Grand Manan, Bay of Fundy, NB, can be explained through EMB bioassay and P-gp mRNA expression studies, 2) if other populations of sea lice not under EMB selective pressure possess similar EMB sensitivity as Grand Manan sea lice populations, and 3) heritability of EMB resistance in L. salmonis.
EMB bioassay results indicated population, species, sex, and temporal differences in EMB EC50 values. RT-qPCR analyses revealed population and sex differences in P-gp mRNA levels, correlating with the bioassay results. Laboratory-reared sea lice maintained their EMB sensitivity status up to the F3 generation. Caligus elongatus, collected from Grand Manan showed >2 fold lower EMB EC50 values compared with L. salmonis collected from the same site. Concurrent exposure to EMB and verapamil yielded no increase in C. elongatus sensitivity to the parasiticide.
Sea lice bioassay and P-gp mRNA studies can be used to track EMB resistance and sex differences in EMB sensitivity and P-gp mRNA levels exist in the parasite
Determinants of Non-Alcoholic Beverages: A Case of Punjab Pakistan
Get PDFThis current research endeavors to study important factors having a significant impact on consumer’s choice of beverages in Punjab province of Pakistan. Beverages in two major categories of ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ have been studied to examine consumer consumption pattern. Data has been collected through interview from 80 respondents belonging to these two major cities of Punjab i.e. Lahore and Faisalabad by incorporating stratified random sampling technique. These two cities of Punjab were selected because of their big departmental stores like Metro cash and carry store, ALFateh and others. A pre-tested and well-arranged questionnaire was used for data gathering from the respondents. To estimate the outcome of factors affecting the choices of consumers (demand function), multiple regression was incorporated. Results of this research showed that consumption pattern of cold beverages was affected significantly by consumer income, cold beverages prices, city selected for survey and number of adolescents in a family whereas factors which affected the consumption of hot beverages were food expenditure, living area, marital status, income, working persons in a family and family size. Due to availability of various brands of beverages, consumption is accelerating with the passage of time and consumers are willing to pay for beverages due to change in various socio-economics factors in the society. So, local industry should produce cost effective and quality drinks to enhance the usage
A letter to the Right Hon. Earl Bathurst, Lord Goderich, and the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London : in refutation of some of the gross misstatements contained in the newspaper reports of their speeches in the House of Lords, on the motion of the Right Honourable Lord King, "for a committee to be appointed, to inquire into the expenditure of the public money, granted to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, in His Majesty's colonies of North America."

Integrated optical phased arrays for three-dimensional display applications
No full textThis electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2020Cataloged from student-submitted PDF of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 154-164).The compatibility of silicon photonic platforms with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication processes has facilitated a surge in the development of silicon-based integrated optical phased arrays (OPAs) for light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and free-space communications. However, silicon is limited to operating at infrared wavelengths since its bandgap prevents visible light transmission. The development of integrated OPAs for arbitrary complex wavefront synthesis in the visible spectrum would enable the expansion of this technology into a multitude of new applications spaces such as optical trapping, imaging through scattering media, underwater LiDAR, optogenetic stimulation, and three-dimensional (3D) displays. Silicon nitride, a CMOS-compatible material that is transparent in the visible spectrum, may be used as the waveguiding material in phased array systems designed for the above applications.In this work, we develop large-scale visible light integrated OPA systems fabricated in a silicon-nitride-based platform for 3D display applications. We begin by presenting the first demonstrations of visible light integrated OPAs. Building on this, we demonstrate a chip-scale architecture for autostereoscopic image projection using a system of multiple integrated OPAs to reconstruct virtual light fields. Specically, we generate a static virtual 3D image with horizontal parallax and a viewing angle of 5. Next, we present an architecture for realizing a transparent near-eye direct-view augmented/mixed reality (AR/MR) display using a system of integrated OPAs to directly project holographic images onto the user's retina. This display architecture was developed to address the deficiencies in current AR/MR headsets with respect to brightness, field of view (FOV), and the vergence-accommodation conflict, which causes eye fatigue.Here, we present a passive demonstration of the display as well as a number of key photonic components required to realize a system for 3D video.by Manan Raval.Ph.
