The research method used is a literature review where the author collects data on the educational thoughts of KH Ahmad Dahlan, independent curriculum and discusses how it is implemented. The results of the study show that the thoughts of KH Ahmad Dahlan are implemented in the independent curriculum in several aspects including: in the education system, namely the integration of religious and Scientific knowledge curricula, in the aspect of educational goals, namely the formation of students who are religiously knowledgeable and intelligent in insight and scientific views which are reflected in the Pancasila student profile, in terms of technical implementation, namely indications of pending development of educational implementation, in terms of learning methods namely contextual learning which is reflected in intracurricular and cocurricular learning models on independent curriculum. In addition to these four aspects, both KH Ahmad Dahlan and the concept of independent curriculum focus on developing students both individually and socially. The implication of this research is the formation of educational institutions that truly become an answer to the needs of students in facing the development of time, not just schools as a formality to get a diploma. As for educators, they should be more open-minded so that they are ready to develop and ready to become a solution for student development
Developing Guidebook of Sexual Violence Prevention and Control in Universitas Ahmad Dahlan
No full textHigher education should be a safe and comfortable place for students to receive education. However, in reality, many cases of sexual violence occur in the university environment. Many victims of sexual violence do not dare to report the incident to the authorities. Meanwhile, some victims who have reported their cases have not received a resolution to the problems they complained about. Based on the results of a student needs survey, as many as 64.7% of students need a guidebook for preventing and controlling sexual violence. Based on the survey results, the author aims to research and develop a guidebook for preventing and controlling sexual violence. After going through four stages of R&D 4D model, this guidebook contains the background, scope, juridical and empirical studies, and mechanisms for preventing and controlling sexual violence. Based on the results of media expert validation tests, this book obtained an Index Aiken’s V Coefficient of 0.81 which is in the high category. Meanwhile, the results of material expert validation tests show that the Index Aiken’s V Coefficient of this book is 0.83, which is also included in the high category. This guidebook will be used as a reference in realizing efforts to prevent and overcome sexual violence in the higher education environment, especially at Universitas Ahmad Dahlan
Flexible superconducting ceramic polymer composites and method of making same, U.S. Patent 5,108,981
No full textSuperconducting ceramic material is woven into an interconnected structure and embedded in a polymer to produce a flexible, superconducting ceramic material. The polymer also provides protection from moisture. The ceramic polymer composite is fabricated by soaking a carbon fabric in a solution of metal nitrates, ethylene glycol and citric acid to yield a nominal composition of, for example, YBa2Cu3O7-x. Heat treatment results in the decomposition of the nitrates, organics and carbon fabric to produce an interconnected structure of the superconducting ceramic material which takes the shape of the original carbon fabric on a reduced scale. In addition, the processing conditions yield significant grain orientation. The superconducting grains of the ceramic material align along the direction of the original fabric weave which provides an improvement of the critical current densities
TAFSIR DAN PEMBAHARUAN PEMIKIRAN ISLAM DI INDONESIA ERA KEMERDEKAAN: (STUDI ANALISIS KITAB TAFSIR AL-FURQAN KARYA AHMAD HASSAN)
No full textThe conflict dynamics of revivalist and traditionalist Islamic groups always colorize development of ideological contest of religious live in Indonesia. One of the important episodes of this conflict dynamic occurred in the era of independence. Through this paper, the author is interested in portraying episodes of Islamic Revivalist dynamics in the independence era through the thoughts and works of influential revivalist scholars, namely Ahmad Hassan. This study aims to reveal the form of mediation of Ahmad Hassan's Islamic renewal in his book of tafsir Al-Furqan. The author uses a descriptive method of analysis with literature study techniques in reviewing the interpretation of Al-Furqan as the main object of research. The results showed that in mediating Ahmad Hassan's Islamic renewal, Kitab tafsir Al-Furqan accommodates and mediates Islamic renewal in two ways, namely formative and substantive ways. Formative way of mediation is indicated through the form of tafsir Al-Furqan as a literal and meaningful translation of tafsir. Critically, this form of translation aimed to make Al-Furqan accessible for Indonesian people at that time when they haven’t had proper understanding on Arabic literacy so that people could understand and refer to the meaning of the Qur'an directly. This is in line with Ahmad Hassan's renewal though about the Qur'an and hadith as the main sources of muslims. As for the substantive ways of mediation, tafsir Al-Furqan contains and expresses the thoughts of Ahmad Hassan's renewal as a substance in interpreting the verses of the Qur'an

Breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes and practices among adolescent teenage mothers at Crossroads, Western Cape, South Africa
No full textBackground: Breastfeeding is important in supporting the normal growth and development of infants and young children. Evidence shows that breastfeeding is protective against infectious diseases such as upper and lower respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal illnesses, and otitis media, during the infant period. South Africa has a low exclusive breastfeeding rate. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months is the best start for health and development. Adolescent pregnancy is detrimental to the health of mother and child and is a common public health problem worldwide. The identification of factors that promote or inhibit breastfeeding behavior is vitally important for the design of evidence-based policies and interventions. Despite the available knowledge of benefits of breastfeeding, this has not translated into practice in South Africa. Objective: This study aimed to investigate breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, and practices among adolescent mothers at Crossroads, Western Cape, South Africa. Study- Design and Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with 77 mothers aged between 16 and 19 years old, attending Crossroads Community Day Centre located in Mitchell's Plain sub-district, Western Cape. A skilled research assistant performed an in-person meeting with each mother in either English or isiXhosa. Closed-ended questions were used to gather information on socio-demographic characteristics, breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Results: The study analyzed the breastfeeding practices and knowledge of 77 mothers, all of whom reported initiating breastfeeding. However, 31.5% reported discontinuation at the time of the interview. Almost sixty percent of the mothers in this study were unemployed. Most of mothers reported that healthcare workers emphasized the importance of breastfeeding and educated them on appropriate breastfeeding practices. However, only 52.8% of mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding. Most mothers recognized the benefits of breastfeeding for their babies, including reduced respiratory infections (72.6%), increased intelligence (86.7%), and protection from allergies (94.8%). They also acknowledged benefits for themselves, such as preventing breast Breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes and practices among adolescent mothers at Crossroads, Western Cape, South Africa engorgement (79.5%) and lowering the risk of breast cancer (50.0%). However, many mothers were unaware of the benefits of breastfeeding for child spacing (65.5%), and 56.8% of mothers lacked knowledge on breastfeeding and pre-pregnancy weight. The study found a statistically significant difference in mean knowledge scores for breastfeeding benefits to the baby and the mother. Conclusion: The importance of breastfeeding in babies' lives has been established. However, in low-income communities such as Crossroads, knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding was variable, and the majority did not practice exclusive breastfeeding. it is important to implement promotional and educational programs in these communities to increase awareness of the vital role of breastfeeding in ensuring optimal development of children

This is because for most of the ‘modern history’ of forest management in the country, the forest resources have been at the monopoly of the state. In fact, there have been an increasing number of local people’ struggles for obtaining meaningful and legal access to the state forest resources in the country. In response to these, the forest administration has implemented a community forestry program. This paper aims to observe the transformation the people’s access to the forests, whether the community forestry program improve the access to the state forest resources. Employing the theory of access provided by Ribot and Peluso (2003), which defines access as the ability to benefit from a resource either legal or illegal, this paper finds that the community forestry program actually reduces the people’s access to the forests
