The author succeeded offering solutions with various contradictions, conflicts, handling down the novel as manifestation in real life
DIMENSI PSIKOLOGIS PEMAKNAAN AZAB NERAKA DALAM SURAT AL-WAQI’AH (Studi Kasus Kelompok Kajian Al-Miftah Ahmad)
No full textABSTRAK
Azab neraka adalah hukuman dari Allah untuk para pendosa,
baik dari kalangan mukmin maupun non mukmin (orang-orang kafir,
munafik dan musrik). Kehidupan di dunia hanyalah sementara dan
tempat untuk bersenda gurau. Sedangkan akhirat adalah tempat
terakhir kita untuk pulang. Dalam akhirat terdapat dua pilihan dimana
semua yang kita kerjakan di dunia ada pertanggung
jawabannyayaitusurga dan neraka. Ketika kita membahas tentang azab
neraka, tidak menutup kemungkinan seseorang tidak merasakan
respon psikologis baik respon fisik atau non fisik.
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana
pemaknaan azab neraka menurut ustadz Baha‟udin Ahmad selaku
pengajar tafsir di TPA tersebut, perbandingan makna azab neraka
dalam surat Al-Waqi‟ah yang disampaikan oleh sang ustadz dengan
tafsir yang penulis pakai yaitu Tafsir Al-Mishbah karya M. Quraish
Shihab, serta dimensi psikologis kelomok kajian TPA Al-Miftah
Ahmad yang terletak di Desa Karangsari, Kecamatan Ketapang,
Lampung Selatan terhadap penafsiran tentang azab neraka terebut.
Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode
kualitatif dengan pendekatan pustaka dan lapangan. Sumber data
penelitian ini diperoleh dari wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi,
dan ditinjau dari beberapa kepustakaan.
Adapun hasil penelitian ini yaitu: makna azab neraka menurut
kelompok kajian Al-Miftah Ahmad adalah suatu hukuman yang
diberikan oleh Allah untuk orang-orang yang melanggar perintah-Nya.
Dengan adanya makna tersebut dapat ditemukan perbandingan
pemaknaan azab neraka dalam surat Al-Waqi‟ah antara kelompok
kajian Al-Miftah Ahmad dengan M. Quraish Shihab, dalam kitab
tafsirnya Quraish Shihab hanya menjelaskan bentuk-bentuk azab
neraka dalam surat Al-Waqi‟ah tidak menjelakan makna dari azab
nerakanya sedangkan kelompok kajian Al-Miftah Ahmad menjelaskan
secara detail makna dan bentuk azab neraka. Respon kelompok kajian
Al-Miftah Ahmad setelah mendengar ustadz Baha‟udin Ahmad
menjelaskan tentang azab neraka bermacam-macam ada yang takut,
sedih, gelisah, bahkan sampai menangis karena teringat dosa yang
telah mereka perbuat. Semua jam‟ah mempercayai bahwa azab neraka
itu benar adanya.

ABSTRAK
The punishment of hell is a punishment from Allah for
sinners, both believers and non-believers (unbelievers, hypocrites and
polytheists). Life on earth is only temporary and a place for fun. While
the afterlife is our last place to go home. In the afterlife there are two
choices where everything we do in this world is accountable, namely
heaven and hell. When we talk about the punishment of hell, it is
possible that someone does not feel a psychological response, either a
physical or non-physical response.
The purpose of this study was to find out how the meaning of
the punishment of hell according to Ustadz Baha'udin Ahmad as a
teacher of interpretation at the TPA, the comparison of the meaning of
the punishment of hell in the letter Al-Waqi'ah delivered by the ustadz
with the interpretation that the author used, namely Tafsir Al-Mishbah
by M. Quraish Shihab, as well as the psychological dimensions of the
Al-Miftah Ahmad TPA study group located in Karangsari Village,
Ketapang District, South Lampung on the interpretation of the
punishment of hell.
The method used in this research is a qualitative method with
a literature and field approach. The data sources of this research were
obtained from interviews, observations, and documentation, and were
reviewed from several literatures.
The results of this study are: the meaning of the punishment
of hell according to the study group of Al-Miftah Ahmad is a
punishment given by Allah to those who violate His commands. With
this meaning, it can be found a comparison of the meanings of the
punishment of hell in the letter Al-Waqi'ah between the study group of
Al-Miftah Ahmad and M. Quraish Shihab, in his book of commentary
Quraish Shihab only explains the forms of the punishment of hell in
the letter Al-Waqi'ah not explained the meaning of the punishment of
hell while the study group Al-Miftah Ahmad explained in detail the
meaning and form of the punishment of hell. The response of the Al�Miftah Ahmad study group after hearing Ustadz Baha'udin Ahmad
explain about the punishment of hell varies, some are afraid, sad,
anxious, even cry because they remember the sins they have
committed. All jam'ah believe that the punishment of hell is true.

Integrating GIS, remote sensing and mathematical modelling for surface water quality management in irrigated watersheds
No full textThe intensive uses of limited water resources, the growing population rates and the various increasing human activities put high and continuous stresses on these resources. Major problems affecting the water quality of rivers, streams and lakes may arise from inadequately treated sewage, poor land use practices, inadequate controls on the discharges of industrial waste waters, uncontrolled poor agricultural practices, excessive use of fertilizers, and a lack of integrated watershed management. This study explores the impact of these pollution problems and the water quality degradation of Irrigated agricultural watersheds When the watersheds have a complex physical basis of interacting water bodies such as canals, drains and coastal lagoons as in the case of irrigated watersheds in coastal river Deltas, and when these environments are ‘data scarce environments’, the problems of managing water quality becomes more obvious and the need for reliable solutions becomes an urgent requirement. This study focused on the management of surface water quality problems in such watersheds and the importance of taking into consideration all the watershed components and the effects of pollution from the upstream canals on the downstream coastal lakes. In this study a generic framework for a (Water Quality Management Information System) is developed depending on the integration of physically based hydrodynamic and water quality models with GIS capabilities and the spatial and temporal capabilities of remote sensing in water quality modeling. The application is developed and tested for the Edko drainage catchment and shallow lake system in the western part of the Nile Delta, Egypt. The developed framework includes a hierarchy of modeling tools: a 1D-2D basic hydrodynamic model for a combined shallow lake-drainage system, a detailed 2D hydrodynamic model of the shallow lake, and a 2D water quality and eutrophication screening models for the lake system. The basic water quality model for the lake system simulates the main water quality parameters including the oxygen compounds, nutrients compounds, temperature, salinity and the total suspended matter (TSM). The complexity of the physical and ecological properties of the lake system implied the use of different methodologies for models calibration using remote sensing. The combination of remote sensing with mathematical modelling, for the calibration and verification of TSM and chlorophyll-concentrations in the shallow lake system showed reliable and successful results.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Federated Resource Allocation for HPC Services
No full textThis paper presents an implementation of a federated resource allocation system (Puhuri), which offers a full set of functions from the application phase for computing infrastructure resources to consumption reporting. The implementation is based on the Puhuri project of Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration (NeIC) [1]. Shared research infrastructures, particularly high-performance computers, necessitate a robust mechanism for allocating resources in accordance with predefined policies. An allocation serves as authorisation to utilise a system in an agreed-upon manner. The impact of Puhuri on shared research infrastructures is to enable multiple resource allocation teams to allocate resources across different domains and organisations. Puhuri has integrated the LUMI EuroHPC supercomputer [2] and the biodiversity digital twin workflow management framework Lexis. Additionally, Puhuri has also been collecting requirements and doing technical integrations in a wider scope. Users accessing the system must be unequivocally identified. This process, known as authentication, ensures that the right individuals utilise the allocated resources to which they are authorised by the resource allocation team. GÉANT has established the MyAccessID service [3] for federated authentication, which Puhuri also utilises. One of the challenges is related to the user identity vetting for the users whose identity provider is not signalling that they are verifying users’ identities in the required manner, which requires them to use commercial third-party services for automatic identity vetting based on user’s identity cards
Usefulness of red cell distribution width in predicting all-cause long-term mortality after non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction
No full textBackground: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a strong predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure, stable coronary artery disease, stroke and acute myocardial infarction. The aim of our study was to explore the predictive value of RDW on all-cause mortality in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Method: This observational study includes 619 NSTEMI patients, discharged from Staten Island University Hospital between September 2004 and December 2006. Patients were divided into equal RDW tertiles and survival was evaluated in each tertile. Result: Patients in the highest RDW tertile (RDW andgt;14) had higher in-patient (7 vs. 1percent) and 4-year (30 vs. 7percent) mortality rates compared to those in the lowest tertile (RDW andlt;13) (Wilcoxon χ 2 = 34.64, p andlt; 0.0001). After controlling for Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events risk profile scores and other confounding variables, the RDW adjusted hazard ratio for 4-year all-cause mortality increased by 1.10 for each one unit increase in RDW (confidence interval 1.004-1.213, p = 0.042). Conclusion: RDW is an independent predictor of all-cause long-term mortality in NSTEMI patients. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms of this association between RDW and adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. Copyright © 2011 S.

Humiliation as a Consequence of Human Offenses (A Study of the Interpretation of the Verses of Azabulkhizyi from the Perspective of Tafsir al-Maraghi)
No full textEvery human being has consequences for what they have done. Especially because of their lack of faith and trust in themselves. Allah has warned his servants about the consequences of doing things that Allah has forbidden. One of them is punishment. Although there have been several essays on doom, the author tries to convey how to avoid doom. The word doom means God\u27s punishment that is rewarded to humans who violate religious prohibitions. doom also means all kinds of suffering (misery). There are many assumptions about the cruelty of God about the punishment given but not realizing the mistakes that have been made. This study examines the interpretation of the word doom in Tafsir al-Maraghi by Sheikh Ahmad Mustafa al-Maraghi. This study focuses on two main things: first, the interpretation of Shaykh Ahmad Mustafa al-Maraghi on the verses related to punishment. Second, how efforts to avoid doom in Tafsir al-Maraghi. The research method used is library research with a thematic approach using the Qur\u27an and Tafsir al-Maraghi as the main source. The results and conclusions show that al-Maraghi\u27s interpretation of the verses of azabulkhizyi is interpreted as an act that causes Allah\u27s punishment to befall humans. These actions include disobeying and fighting Allah and His Messenger, showing hypocrisy, spreading false teachings, and doing vain deeds. This finding indicates that azabulkhizyi tells how the consequences of human beings about what they have violated from Allah\u27s provisions.Setiap manusia memiliki konsekuensi atas apa yang telah dilakukannya. Terlebih karena kurangnya iman dan kepercayaan pada diri mereka. Allah telah memperingatkan hambanya tentang konsekuensi melakukan hal yang sudah Allah larang. Salah satunya yaitu azab. Walaupun sudah ditemukan beberapa karangan mengenai azab, penulis berusaha menyampaikan bagaimana upaya menghindari azab. Kata azab bermakna siksa Tuhan yang diganjarkan kepada manusia yang melanggar larangan agama. azab juga diartikan segala macam penderitaan (kesengsaraan). Banyak anggapan tentang kejamnya Allah tentang hukuman yang diberikan tapi tidak menyadari kesalahan yang telah diperbuat. Penelitian ini mengkaji penafsiran lafadz azab dalam Tafsir al-Maraghi karya Syeikh Ahmad Mustafa Al-Maraghi. Penelitian ini memusatkan pada dua hal utama: pertama, penafsiran Syaikh Ahmad Mustafa Al-Maraghi pada terhadap ayat-ayat yang berkaitan dengan azab. Kedua, bagaimana upaya menghindari azab dalam Tafsir al-Maraghi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kajian kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan tematik menggunakan Al-Qur’an dan Tafsir Al-Maraghi sebagai sumber utama. Hasil dan kesimpulan menunjukkan bahwa penafsiran al-Maraghi terhadap ayat-ayat azabulkhizyi dimaknai sebagai perbuatan yang menyebabkan azab Allah menimpa manusia. Perbuatan tersebut seperti memushui dan memerangi Allah dan Rasul-Nya, memperlihatkan kemunafikan, menyebarkan ajaran palsu, dan melakukan perbuatan yang sia-sia. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa azabulkhizyi menceritakan bagaimana konsekuensi manusia tentang apa yang telah mereka langgar dari ketentuan Allah
Waterpipe tobacco and cigarette smoking among university students in Jordan
No full textSETTING: While waterpipe and cigarette smoking have been well studied in Syria and Lebanon, data from Jordan are limited. OBJECTIVES: To characterize the relative prevalence of waterpipe tobacco and cigarette smoking among university students in Jordan, and to compare the demographic and environmental factors associated with each form of tobacco use. DESIGN: We surveyed 1845 students randomly recruited from four universities in Jordan. We used multivariable logistic regression controlling for clustering of individuals within universities to determine associations between demographic and environmental covariates and waterpipe tobacco and cigarette use. RESULTS: Waterpipe tobacco smoking rates were 30percent in the past 30 days and 56percent ever, while cigarette smoking rates were 29percent in the past 30 days and 57percent ever. Past 30-day waterpipe tobacco smoking rates were 59percent for males and 13percent for females. Females had substantially lower odds than males of being current waterpipe (OR 0.12, 95percentCI 0.10-0.15) or cigarette (OR 0.08, 95percentCI 0.05-0.14) smokers. Current cigarette smoking was more significantly associated with markers of high socioeconomic status (SES) than waterpipe tobacco smoking. CONCLUSION: Waterpipe tobacco smoking is as common as cigarette smoking among Jordanian university students. While cigarette smoking is consistently associated with high SES, waterpipe tobacco smoking is more evenly distributed across various populations. © 2012 The Union.Afifi RA, 2010, EUR J PUBLIC HEALTH, V20, P456, DOI 10.1093-eurpub-ckp173; Akl EA, 2010, INT J EPIDEMIOL, V39, P834, DOI 10.1093-ije-dyq002; Almerie MQ, 2008, INT J TUBERC LUNG D, V12, P1085; Al Rashidi M, 2008, FOOD CHEM TOXICOL, V46, P3546, DOI 10.1016-j.fct.2008.09.007; Azab M, 2010, NICOTINE TOB RES, V12, P606, DOI 10.1093-ntr-ntq055; Barnett TE, 2009, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V99, P2014, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.2008.151225; Cobb C, 2010, AM J HEALTH BEHAV, V34, P275; Dar-Odeh NS, 2010, HARM REDUCT J, V7, DOI 10.1186-1477-7517-7-10; Dugas E, 2010, PEDIATRICS, V125, P1184, DOI 10.1542-peds.2009-2335; Eissenberg T, 2009, AM J PREV MED, V37, P518, DOI 10.1016-j.amepre.2009.07.014; Eissenberg T, 2008, J ADOLESCENT HEALTH, V42, P526, DOI 10.1016-j.jadohealth.2007.10.004; Jensen PD, 2010, SUBST USE MISUSE, V45, P1245, DOI 10.3109-10826081003682909; Khabour OF, 2011, ENVIRON MOL MUTAGEN, V52, DOI 10.1002-em.20601; Khader Y.

A framework for using data analytics to measure trust in government through the social capital generated over governmental social media platforms
No full text© 2018 is held by the owner/author(s). It has been noted that citizens\u27 trust in public institutions is continuously declining. Low social capital has been confirmed as one of the main reasons for this decrease in trust towards government. As social media offer a number of features that could foster social capital, governments worldwide are embracing these new tools in an attempt to restore citizens\u27 trust. Having an existence on social media doesn\u27t guarantee that it would increase trust; it can even compromise on the reputation of a public agency in the absence of a clear strategy targeted towards developing confidence and trust. To ensure the reflection of this strategy on the content of governmental social media, there should be a mechanism that measures the degree of trust on social media in government taking into account different aspects related to trust. Despite the importance of this kind of evaluation, it is though overlooked in both academia and practice. This paper therefore aims to fill this research gap through suggesting a standard technique to measure different trust dimensions on social media accounts of governments. A proposed framework for evaluating trust was applied on Facebook accounts of three Egyptian ministries -selected based on their apparent contribution to the national economy- taking into account six dimensions of trust: Responsiveness, Accessibility, Transparency, Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Participation.https://fount.aucegypt.edu/faculty_book_chapters/1225/thumbnail.jp
A framework to measure e-participation level of government social media accounts
No full text© 2019 held by the owner/author(s). Publication rights licensed to Association for Computing Machinery. There is a rising attention to the importance of social media for e-participation due to its value in creating a convenient communication channel with citizens. Evaluating e-participation is eventually an important milestone for progress. The objective of this research is to provide guidelines for a framework that assesses e-participation on government\u27s social accounts. Based on the work of Tambouris at el., 2007 [1] and Nelimarkka at el., 2014 [2], the research proposes a framework that could be applied to Facebook government accounts. This research though covers three major gaps in previous e-participation assessment research: scarcity in evaluating eparticipation within developing contexts, reliance on limited rather than large-scale empirical data, focusing on online government portals as an assessment e-participation platform and not considering social accounts\u27 performance. This research is supported by Crowd Analyzer [3], a social media monitoring tool, to enable data crawling and users comments\u27 sentiment analysis
