EvoWallet / Muhammad Fais Md Taha ... [et al.]
No full textWallets are becoming more and more redundant lately as smartphones progressively replace cash and cards, but the EvoWallet is the latest attempt to keep the wallet relevant in the 21st century. Aside from acting as a power bank and smart tag holder, the ultra-smart wallet also incorporates some nifty security features in case when someone where struck by a pilfering pickpocket.
Pairing a wallet with a smartphone, or adding GPS-tracking capacities, don't seem to be new innovations in the world of sensible wallets. EvoWallet incorporates both features into its design with wallet or phone signaling an alarm if he/ she forget one of the other. GPS tracking also lets users follow their wallet in real time if it gets snatched or lost.
The most novel part of EvoWallet is the tiny camera built into it. If the wallet is stolen and enters "lost mode", the camera takes sneaky snaps of anyone who opens it. The pictures are immediately sent to paired smartphone, meaning ones can not only track where the wallet is in real time, but also watch the thief go through owner’s stuff. This is made possible by a SIM card embedded within the wallet. Rounding out the list of functions is a built-in power bank that can charge smartphone, either with a cable or wirelessly if the device has that capability

No full textMuhammad Abduh Al Fais. 15420088. Eksperimentasi Strategi Tasyji‟ Al-lughah Dalam Pembelajaran Mufradat Bahasa Arab Kelas X di MAN 1 Sleman Tahun Pelajaran 2018/2019. Skripsi. Yogyakarta: Fakultas Ilmu Tarbiyah dan Keguruan Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga, 2019. Latar belakang dalam penelitian ini adalah adanya fakta bahwa strategi pembelajaran mufradat yang diterapkan di MAN 1 Sleman masih monoton dan kurangnya bimbingan terhadap siswa untuk menghafalkan mufradat. Oleh sebab itu penulis mencoba menerapkan strategi
Tasyji’ Al-lughah sebagai suatu strategi pembelajaran alternatif. Penulis juga berharap bahwa strategi ini dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa tentang penguasaan mufradat bahasa Arab.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk : (1) mengetahui penerapan strategi Tasyji’ Al-lughoh dalam pembelajaran mufradât bahasa Arab di kelas X MAN 1 Sleman tahun pelajaran 2018/2019. (2) mengetahui adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol dalam meningkatkan penguasaan kosa kata bahasa Arab. Sampel ini adalah kelas X MIPA 3 sebagai kelompok eksperimen dan kelas X MIPA 2 sebagai kelompok kontrol. teknik pengumulan data menggunakan teknik test, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Test dalam penelitian ini meliputi pretest dan posttest. Penelitian ini menggunakan Pretest Posttest Control Group Design sebgai desain eksperimen.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa (1) Proses pembelajaran mufradat bahasa Arab menggunakan strategi Tasyji‟ Al-lughah. Peserta didik menulis mufradat yang diberikan oleh guru. Kemudian peserta didik menghafalkan dengan mengulang-ngulang mufradat dengan di bimbing oleh guru. Kemudian peserta didik berlatih membuat kalimat menggunakan mufradat yang telah dihafalkan sebelumnya.(2) Sebagaimana hasil rata-rata nilai pretest kelompok eksperimen sebesar 66,86 menjadi 86,77 dan kelompok kontrol memiliki nilai pretest semula 66,23 menjadi 76,73. Masing-masing kelompok memiliki peningkatan terhadap penguasaan mufradat bahasa Arab, kelompok eksperimen 19,91 dan kelompok kontrol 10,50, sehingga nilai kelompok eksperimen lebih meningkat dibandingkan kelompok kontrol dan memiliki perbedaan yang signifikan. Selain itu diperkuat dengan analisis uji Wilcoxon antara pretest-posttest kelompok eksperimen dan pretest-posttest kelompok kontrol menunjukkan taraf signifikansi 0.000 < 0.05 dan disimpulkan bahwa Ha diterima dan terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontro
Concentration and distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the town of Kota Bharu, Kelantan Darul Naim
No full textThis study was carried out to determine the concentration and distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soils of Kota Bharu, Kelantan Darul Naim. A total of 20 sampling sites were chosen covering the town center and surrounding suburban area of this district. PAHs in soil matrix were extracted using ultrasonic agitation technique with dichloromethane as extraction solvent. Fractionation of PAHs were done using silica alumina column and the characterization of these individual components were carried out using GCMS. Priority PAHs (PAH16 as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) were predominantly represented by four to six ring compounds with concentration ranging between 0.022 μgg-1 to 24.06 μgg-1. Based on ratios of selected molecular markers, it can be concluded that PAHs in soil were generally derived from combustion sources. A strong correlation between benzo (g,h,i)perylene with total identified PAHs strongly suggest that vehicular emission is the major constituent of this combustion sources

A PARTIAL EDITION OF LES FAIS DES ROMMAINS
No full textLes Fais des Rommains is an early fifteenth century copy of an anonymous prose translation of Roman history with Julius Caesar as the central figure. The subject matter is primarily based upon histories of Sallust, Suetonius, Julius Caesar, and Lucan. Less frequently used sources are works by Isidore of Seville, Flavius Josephus, Petrus Comestor, St. Augustine, as well as the Bible. It is an ambitious attempt on the part of the author to glean from the best Roman historians a history of Roman civilization with intentional didactic emendations suitable to a medieval audience. These changes include instructions on leading a life of virtue and invented battle scenes similar to those in the chansons de geste. Fifty-nine manuscripts of the translation are accounted for to date. The oldest known one was written in the thirteenth century and is the only edited manuscript on the subject. It is supplemented by another from the same century. The manuscript discussed in this study is located in the British Museum. It is perhaps that manuscript of the best group which is most representative of the fifteenth century. Therefore, it is the most suitable for a new edition. In spite of the widely extended popularity of the topic during the Middle Ages, relatively scant scholarship has been devoted to the subject until more recent years. Because of the need for a new and modern edition of the translation, the author of this dissertation intends to publish a complete critical edition, incorporating substantial portions of the material of the study into the introduction and notes. In the dissertation, Les Fais des Rommains is partially edited, ending with Book IV of Julius Ceasar\u27s De bello Gallico. It is demonstrated that the most noteworthy feature and that which best illustrates the value in translating and editing this particular version is to be found in the changes in syntax and style as well as in miscellaneous unclassifiable changes which are occasioned consciously or unconsciously in the course of perhaps two centuries, between the edited thirteenth century verion and the fifteenth century rendition under discussion in this study. The procedure used is to present an explanation of the type of change taking place, while indicating the particular variants by means of striking contrasting examples from both the fifteenth and thirteenth century versions of the subject matter. It is shown that while the scribe of the fifteenth century copy frequently condenses the style found in the older work, at times he is much more elaborate. The copyist of the newer version tends to replace parts of speech in the older rendition with more recent forms which often better clarify the material. His work also includes examples indicative of more recent French syntax. His manuscript likewise presents examples which are the antithesis of the equivalents in the earlier edition, and which at times are lacking in sense. There are many instances in which the Latin proper names in both versions differ from each other. However, it is shown that there are many more instances in which proper names in both works differ from the original Latin sources. Many of the changes between the two versions show the imagination of a scribe raisonneur. On the eve of the introduction of printing when the ideal of complete fidelity to the author\u27s words would be realized, the scribe of Les Fais des Rommains reminds one that no two manuscripts are identical. Here a scribe is faithful to his text, but echoes the thoughts and language of his times

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive brain disorder which is characterized by
progressive memory loss and a wide range of cognitive impairments.1 Although the precise cause of AD is
not completely known, there are some factors that seem to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of AD.
Since AD is characterized by a forebrain cholinergic neuron loss and a progressive decline in acetylcholine, a
possible therapeutic strategy involves the use of cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors to restore the
neurotransmitter level and thus alleviate AD symptoms.2
Benzofuran scaffold has drawn considerable attention over the last few years due to its profound
physiological and chemotherapeutic properties. Recent studies have also investigated their inhibitory activity
towards ChEs.3,4
In this study, a series of 2-phenylbezonfurans compounds were synthesized and their inhibition
activity towards the ChE enzymes were investigated. We further combined biochemical analysis and
molecular modelling studies to identify selective butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition by benzofuran
scaffold. In particular, two compounds exhibited the highest BChE inhibition with IC50 values better than the
standard cholinesterase inhibitor compound. Molecular modelling studies highlighted the importance of
catalytic and peripheral site residues in BChE inhibition. Subsequently, the biosafety of the two promising
compounds was evaluated, in NSC-34 cells at the concentration in which BChE activity is inhibited, and no
considerable cytotoxic effect was found.
