Impact of Climate Variability on Reservoir Based Hydro-Power Generation in Jebba Dam, Niger State, Nigeria
No full textThis study examined impact of climate variability on reservoir-based hydro-power-generation in Jebba dam, Niger State of Nigeria. Data of rainfall, temperature, evaporation, reservoir inflow and outflow and power output for thirty-one years were obtained from Jebba Hydropower Station [JHP]. The Man-Kendall and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) were used to establish the influence of weather parameters on the reservoir inflow and outflow. Findings showed increased electricity generation during dry season than wet season. The highest annual mean amount of the electricity generated was in 2016 having mean of 689.12mwh, dry season (352.26mwh) and wet season (336.86mwh). Reservoir inflow showed negative trend with severe fluctuations in 1998 (1436.42M3/Sec), 1999 (1581.08M3/Sec) and 2010 (1641.08M3/Sec) with steady increase in 2016 (1556.0042M3/Sec), 2017 (1556.4242M3/Sec) and 2018 (1635.7542M3/Sec). The reservoir outflow pattern showed tremendous and negative trend in fluctuation with increase in 1998 (1421.75M3/Sec) 1999 (1581.58M3/Sec) and 2010 (1641.16M3/Sec) and a steady increase in 2016 (1535.00M3/Sec), 2017 1558.83M3/Sec and 2018 (1632.00M3/Sec). Thus, rainfall and reservoir inflow had strong relationships with the amount of power generated than temperature and evaporation. Therefore, the government should increase the water carrying capacity of the reservoir construction by storing water to be used during dry periods

No full textABSTRAK
Selama ini dikesankan bahwa Praktek tasawuf seakan-akan tidak bersumber dari Hadis-hadis Nabi Saw, hal itu terbukti dengan seringkali dinyatakan bahwa kemunculan Tasawuf berasal dari Persia, terpengaruh oleh Mistisisme Kristen, dan diisukan sebagai hasil dari buah Pemikiran Ahli Filsafat Yunani. Hal tersebut semakin menguat karena Para Sufi sudah keluar daripada esensi Ajaran Nabi Saw dengan melakukan praktek-praktek yang bertentangan dengan Syariat Islam. Oleh karenanya Penulis terdorong untuk melakukan Penelitian terhadap Hadis-hadis tasawuf yang terdapat dalam kitab Al-I’lām Bianna Al-Tasawuf Min Syarīat Al-Islām yang ditulis oleh Abdullah al-ghummari, ketertarikan Penulis pada sosok Abdullah al-Ghummari adalah karena ia merupakan Tokoh Sufi teoritis dan praktis sekaligus sebagai salah satu Ahli Hadis diabad ke 14 Hijriyah. dalam Penelitian ini, Penulis Fokus pada dua hal yaitu menganalisa Sumber dan Metode Tasawuf Abdullah al-Ghummari, sementara tujuan daripada Penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan Informasi terkait sumber hadis yang dikutip oleh Abdullah al-Ghummari dan Motode tasawufnya yang merupakan hasil daripada Pemahaman terhadap hadis-hadis tersebut.

مستخلص البحث
منذ زمان يقال بأن عملية التصوف لا يصدر من الحديث النبوي، و سبب هذه المشكلة قول المستشرقين بأن أصل وجود التصوف يأتي من الفارسية أو مؤثر بروحانية المسيحية أو نتيجة الفكر الفلسفي اليونانية، ومع هذا كان المتصوفون يخرجون عن الشريعة الإسلامية. ولذالك يود الباحث لتحليل الأحاديث الصوفية في كتاب " الإعلام بأن التصوف من شريعة الإسلام " للسيد عبد الله الغماري، ويختار الباحث عبد الله الغماري لأنه صوفي سواء كان نظرية وتطبيقية وكذالك يعد من المحدثين في القرن الرابع عشر هجرية. وفي هذا البحث يركز الباحث في شيئين، الأول تحليل مصادر الحديث والثاني تحليل منهجه الصوفي حول فهم الأحاديث من هذا الكتاب.
هذه الرسالة مكونة من الدراسة المكتبية بمقاربة الفيلوسوفي، والمصادر في هذه الرسالة كتب السيد عبد الله الغماري والكتب الآخر التي لها علاقة بعنوان هذه الرسالة، والتحليلية البيانية مكونة من تحليل البيانات الوصفية والإستقرائية.
ونتيجة هذه الرسالة أن الأحاديث في هذا الكتاب من المصادر الأصلية والفرعية وحكمها مختلف بين علماء نقد الحديث، وأما المنهج الصوفي لعبد الله الغماري : 1. منهج المشاهدة والمقاربة على فهم حديث " الإحسان "، 2. منهج المجاهدة والفناء على فهم حديث " محاربة الله لمن عادى أولياءه"، 3. علم الظاهر والباطن وللقرآن ظهر وبطن على فهم حديث " قصة موسى والخضر "، 4. أن عليا ابن ابي طالب أستاذ الصوفية على فهم حديث " مناقب علي "، 5. إثبات علم الحقيقة على فهم حديث " انكار المغرورين " .

It has been suggested, to this point, that the practice of Sufism does not seem to originate from the Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad. This is supported by the fact that it is often identified that the beginning of Sufism originated in Persia, was influenced by Christian Mysticism, and was rumored to be the result of the thoughts of Greek philosophers. This claim is getting stronger and stronger because the Sufis have come out of the essence of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad by carrying out practices that are contrary to Islamic Sharia. Therefore, the author is encouraged to conduct research on the traditions of Sufism contained in the book al-I'lām Bianna al-Tasawuf Min Syarīat al-Islām written by Abdullah al-Ghummari.
The author interested in the figure of Abdullah al-Ghummari due to he is a figure of theoretical and practical Sufi as well as one of the Hadith experts in the 14th century of Hijri. In this study, the author focuses on two things: analyzing the sources and methods of Abdullah al-Ghummari's Sufism, while the purpose of this study is to obtain information and evidence related to the sources of Hadith quoted by Abdullah al-Ghummari and his Sufism method which is the result of understanding the hadiths.
This research is classified as library research, using a philosophical approach, research sources are originated from the works of Abdullah al-Ghummari and supported by other relevant works. Data analysis in this study uses descriptive data analysis and induction-deduction method.
Sources of Hadith quoted by Abdullah al-Ghummari are the traditions enclosed in primary source (Al-Mashādir al-Ashliyyah) and secondary source (al-Mashādir al-Far'iyyah) and concerning the authentic and dhaif hadiths which the validity of the hadith is long-debated among Naad scholars. On the other side, Abdullah al-Ghummari's Sufism method is the Musyāhadah and Murāqabah which is comprehended from the “Al-Ihsan” hadith, the Mujāhadah and al-Fanā' method which is understood comprehended from the “Muhārabatullah Liman 'Ādā Auliyāah” hadith. The knowledge method and the meaning of The Qur'an is externally and spiritually understood from the hadith “The Story of Moses and Khidir”, the main method of Sufism is Ali which is understood from “the Manāqib Ali”, and the utter method of knowledge of Hakikat which is understood from the hadith “Inkar al-Magrūrīn”

No full textBetween obedience and rebellion: a field study on the young women of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
No full textThis research explores the perceptions young Saudi women in Jeddah have of their lives. It seeks to uncover the role and different degrees that obedience and rebellion feature in the everyday lives of the young Saudi women in Jeddah. The subjects of the research were young Saudi women aged 16-21, all living in Jeddah at the time of the study and studying at either high school or university. The study employed a qualitative methodology to identify the extent of obedience and rebellion and their manifestations in the young women’s daily lives. The research relied on in-depth semi-structured interviews as the principal data collection method. By analysing the data derived from this process, I sought to explore the range, subtleties and continuum of rebellion and obedience in terms of three major themes: Hijab, gender relations, and young women’s private spaces. The study found that the participants associated Hijab with high social and religious values and had great respect for it. The conceptualization and practice of wearing Hijab, was associated with freedom and access to ‘the public sphere’ for many participants.In contrast, the study found that Qiwama (Guardianship), a religious Islamic concept that regulates family life, was much less respected by the participants, at least in its traditionalist incarnation that prevails in Saudi Arabia. The traditional Qiwama, per the findings, is a patriarchal structure that results in the reproduction of the social reality that marginalizes women, relegating them to follower status. The female participants rejected this as an incorrect interpretation of religious text. A majority of participants also pointed out that the definition of rebellion differs from one generation to the next. In fact, the participants noted that the actions of young Saudi women that are often classified as rebellious are actually demands for personal rights and an attempt to remove some of the restrictions they face in a subtle way that does not directly clash with family, religion and state policy.This study is important because it represents the unique contribution of giving a voice to young Saudi women to narrate their experiences and explore their ways of subtly negotiating with or conforming to social realities and by so doing enables the examination of the connections between obedience, rebellion, or subtle negotiation
Prevalence and factors associated with substance abuse among adolescents in public and private secondary schools in Katsina State, Nigeria
No full textAbstract Background Globally, substance abuse has been identified as a major public health issue. The aim of the study was to determine and compare the prevalence, pattern, and predictors of substance abuse among adolescents in public and private day secondary schools in Katsina State. Methods A cross-sectional comparative study was employed to investigate 1126 adolescents obtained through multistage sampling technique in selected public and private day secondary schools across geopolitical zones spanning both rural and urban LGAs in Katsina State. Data was collected over eight weeks with the aid of pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire and was analysed using IBM SPSS version 25. Ethical approval was obtained from Katsina State Ministry of Health. Results Overall, majority (25.1%) of respondents were 18 years of age (majority, 28% in public and 25.2% in private schools were 17 and 18 years of age respectively. Overall mean age of the study population was 16.98 ± 1.27 years (Public; 16.97 ± 1.237 years and Private;16.99 ± 1.309 years). Overall, most of the respondents were in SS3 (44.1%), (Public; 47.4% and Private; 40.8%). Proportion of adolescents who ever used any substance at least once was 22.02% (7.99% public, 14.03% private). Factors independently associated with substance abuse were being in SS3 class (p = 0.022), coming from monogamous family (p = 0.014) and peer substance abuse (p = 0.017). The logistic regression model reveals that current users in SS3 class, from monogamous setting and whose peers abuse substances are 7 times more likely (aOR = 7.12), 5 times more likely (aOR = 5.4) and 20% more likely (aOR = 0.209) to be in private than in public schools, respectively. Conclusion Prevalence of substance abuse was high. Major predictor was peer substance abuse. Consequently, the state Ministry of Education in collaboration with Ministry of Health and NDLEA should design a substance abuse prevention programme with a view to reducing the menace of substance abuse in the state
Task shifting roles, interventions and outcomes for kidney and cardiovascular health service delivery among African populations: a scoping review
No full textAbstract Background Human resources for health (HRH) shortages are a major limitation to equitable access to healthcare. African countries have the most severe shortage of HRH in the world despite rising communicable and non-communicable disease (NCD) burden. Task shifting provides an opportunity to fill the gaps in HRH shortage in Africa. The aim of this scoping review is to evaluate task shifting roles, interventions and outcomes for addressing kidney and cardiovascular (CV) health problems in African populations. Methods We conducted this scoping review to answer the question: “what are the roles, interventions and outcomes of task shifting strategies for CV and kidney health in Africa?” Eligible studies were selected after searching MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL, ISI Web of Science, and Africa journal online (AJOL). We analyzed the data descriptively. Results Thirty-three studies, conducted in 10 African countries (South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Malawi, Rwanda, and Uganda) were eligible for inclusion. There were few randomized controlled trials (n = 6; 18.2%), and tasks were mostly shifted for hypertension (n = 27; 81.8%) than for diabetes (n = 16; 48.5%). More tasks were shifted to nurses (n = 19; 57.6%) than pharmacists (n = 6; 18.2%) or community health workers (n = 5; 15.2%). Across all studies, the most common role played by HRH in task shifting was for treatment and adherence (n = 28; 84.9%) followed by screening and detection (n = 24; 72.7%), education and counselling (n = 24; 72.7%), and triage (n = 13; 39.4%). Improved blood pressure levels were reported in 78.6%, 66.7%, and 80.0% for hypertension-related task shifting roles to nurses, pharmacists, and CHWs, respectively. Improved glycaemic indices were reported as 66.7%, 50.0%, and 66.7% for diabetes-related task shifting roles to nurses, pharmacists, and CHWs, respectively. Conclusion Despite the numerus HRH challenges that are present in Africa for CV and kidney health, this study suggests that task shifting initiatives can improve process of care measures (access and efficiency) as well as identification, awareness and treatment of CV and kidney disease in the region. The impact of task shifting on long-term outcomes of kidney and CV diseases and the sustainability of NCD programs based on task shifting remains to be determined
