In addition to containing a lot of historical information about
Javanese and Islamic culture, the book Saya, Jawa, dan Islam by Irfan
Afifi provides the meaning contained in it, besides that, the author
also tells the process to find out more about how a thought can be
formed. and its connection with religion and culture, apparently also
contains an implied message of da'wah. This research examines the
da'wah messages contained in the book Saya, Jawa, dan Islam by
Irfan Afifi.
The method used is content analysis using Philipp Mayring's
content analysis model, namely research intended to examine the
content. The primary data sources for this research are the texts of My
Book, Javanese and Islamic, while the secondary data sources are
books, journals, and previous research that are related to this
research. The data collection techniques used in this research are
documentation and interviews.
The results of this research show that the da'wah message in
the book "I, Java, and Islam" by Irfan Afifi covers three main aspects:
aqidah, sharia, and morals. However, in this research it was found
that the moral da'wah message is the most dominant in this book,
while the sharia da'wah message does not appear to be as much as the
da'wah message in other categories.

I felt that i was benefiting someone: Youth as agents of change in a refugee community project
No full textYouth can be 'powerful catalysts' in their own and their community's development. The paper describes the experience of youth based on their participation as decision makers in and implementers of a community-based research project in a Palestinian refugee camp of Beirut, Lebanon. In-depth interviews were conducted with 18 youth and 10 of their family members or friends. The participants were asked to describe the reasons they joined the project, why they stayed on, what they liked most-least about the project, how the project influenced their lives and what they would change about the project. Thematic analysis identified recurrent themes. Youth joined the program because of its benefit to children and their community. They stayed with the program because of the solidarity they found with the team and because of their relationship with the children. They perceived that they had an important role to play in the project's success. Youth acknowledged all the skills they gained from the project. Focus groups with others corroborated their statements. This project confirmed that youth can be powerful change agents in their own development and that of their communities. An Enabling Attributes Model is proposed for projects that aim to actively engage youth as community catalysts. © The Author 2012. Published by Oxford University Press.

Process evaluation of a community-based mental health promotion intervention for refugee children
No full textPublic health interventions are complex in nature and composed of multiple components. Evaluation of process and impact is necessary to build evidence of effectiveness. Process evaluation involves monitoring extent of implementation and comparison against the program plan. This article describes the process evaluation of the 'Qaderoon' (We are Capable) intervention; a community-based mental health promotion intervention for children living in a Palestinian refugee camp of Beirut, Lebanon. The manuscript describes the context of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, the intervention, the process evaluation plan and results. The process evaluation was guided by the literature and by a Community Youth Committee. Findings indicated that attendance was 54 and 38percent for summer and fall sessions, respectively. Session objectives and activities were commonly achieved. Over 78.4percent of activities were reported to be implemented fully as planned. Over 90percent of the children indicated high satisfaction with the sessions. Contextual facilitators and challenges to implementing the intervention are discussed. The most challenging were maintaining attendance and the actual implementation of the process evaluation plan. Findings from process evaluation will strengthen interpretation of impact evaluation results. © The Author 2011.Abdulrahim S, 2010, J URBAN HEALTH, V87, P1017, DOI 10.1007-s11524-010-9507-8; Afifi RA, 2011, HEALTH POLICY PLANN, V26, P508, DOI 10.1093-heapol-czr001; Afifi RA, 2011, LANCET; Balsano AB, 2009, J RES ADOLESCENCE, V19, P249, DOI 10.1111-j.1532-7795.2009.00595.x; BASCH CE, 1985, HEALTH EDUC QUART, V12, P315, DOI 10.1177-109019818501200311; Beaulac Julie, 2010, Health Promot Pract, V11, p61S, DOI 10.1177-1524839909353738; Bruene-Butler L, 1997, PRIMARY PREVENTION W; Campbell M, 2000, BRIT MED J, V321, P694, DOI 10.1136-bmj.321.7262.694; CARLETON RA, 1995, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V85, P777, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.85.6.777; Durlak J.

Gender differences in determinants of weight-control behaviours among adolescents in Beirut
No full textObjective: To investigate the association between self-esteem, physical activity, engaging in risky behaviours, social and cultural capital, attitudes towards thinness, parental and personal characteristics with weight-control behaviours among adolescents in Beirut, Lebanon.Design A community-based cross-sectional study. A stratified cluster sampling design was used and information gathered by means of a questionnaire. Associations were investigated using multinomial logistic regression, accounting for the survey design. Odds ratios were calculated for trying to lose weight, or trying to gain weight, compared with no weight-control behaviour.Setting The study was conducted in three underprivileged urban areas of Beirut in 2003.Subjects The sample size was 1294 adolescents aged 1319 years.Results: Determinants of weight-control behaviour among girls included their attitudes towards thinness (OR loss = 429, gain = 038), dissatisfaction with weight (OR loss = 109, gain = 963), engaging in physical activity ( loss = 222), smoking (OR loss3) and the mother working (OR loss = 277). Determinants of weight-control behaviour in boys included their attitudes towards thinness (OR loss = 147, gain = 035), dissatisfaction with weight (OR loss = 156, gain = 177), being involved in a cultural activity ( gain = 251), engaging in a fight ( loss = 525, gain = 164) and engaging in physical activity ( loss = 256, gain = 217).Conclusions: Attitudes towards thinness, weight dissatisfaction and physical activity are common determinants for weight-control among boys and girls, although to varying degrees of influence. Self-esteem, social capital, cultural capital and parental characteristics were not significant predictors when accounting for the other variables.Ackard DM, 2002, J PSYCHOSOM RES, V52, P129, DOI 10.1016-S0022-3999(01)00269-0; Adams K, 2000, ETHNIC HEALTH, V5, P79; Afifi-Soweid RA, 2002, INT J EAT DISORDER, V32, P52, DOI 10.1002-eat.10037; Austin SB, 2001, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V91, P446, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.91.3.446; Barker M, 2000, APPETITE, V35, P161, DOI 10.1006-appe.2000.0345; Caulfield LE, 2004, AM J CLIN NUTR, V80, P193; Crocker P, 2001, CAN J PUBLIC HEALTH, V92, P428; Crow S, 2006, J ADOLESCENT HEALTH, V38, P569, DOI 10.1016-j.jadohealth.2005.05.019; de Onis Mercedes, 2004, Food Nutr Bull, V25, pS27; DELISLE H, 2001, SHOULD ADOLESCENTS S; Djazayery A, 2004, East Mediterr Health J, V10, P731; Dunkley TL, 2001, ADOLESCENCE, V36, P265; Field AE, 2001, PEDIATRICS, V107, P54, DOI 10.1542-peds.107.1.54; Flood V, 2000, AUST NZ J PUBL HEAL, V24, P96, DOI 10.1111-j.1467-842X.2000.tb00733.x; Franko DL, 2002, J PSYCHOSOM RES, V53, P975, DOI 10.1016-S0022-3999(02)00490-7; Fulkerson JA, 2003, J ADOLESCENT HEALTH, V32, P306, DOI 10.1016-S1054-139X(02)00566-9; John U, 2006, EUR J CLIN NUTR, V60, P372, DOI 10.1038-sj.ejcn.1602325; KELDER SH, 1994, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V84, P1121, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.84.7.1121; Khatib O, 2004, East Mediterr Health J, V10, P778; Khawaja M, 2006, J URBAN HEALTH, V83, P444, DOI 10.1007-s11524-006-9051-8; Khawaja M, 2004, J EPIDEMIOL COMMUN H, V58, P352, DOI 10.1136-jech.2003.010785; Kilpatrick M, 1999, J SCHOOL HEALTH, V69, P148; Kreuter M.

Prevalence and determinants of suicide ideation among Lebanese adolescents: Results of the GSHS Lebanon 2005
No full textThe current study examined prevalence and risk factors for suicide ideation in 5038 Lebanese adolescents using Global School Health Survey data. Around 16percent of Lebanese adolescents thought of suicide. Multivariate logistic regression models showed that risk factors for suicide ideation included poor mental health (felt lonely, felt worried, felt sad or hopeless), substance use (got drunk, used drugs), victimization (was bullied, was sexually harassed), and lack of parental understanding. Recommendations for future research and interventions are discussed. © 2010 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.Abu-Saba MB, 1999, J TRAUMA STRESS, V12, P201, DOI 10.1023-A:1024766920789; Afifi Mustafa, 2004, Neurosciences (Riyadh), V9, P207; Baasher T.

Applicability and Implementation of U.S. Green Building Council Rating System (LEED) in Egypt (A Longitudinal study for Egyptian LEED Certified Buildings)
No full textAbstractAccording to the USGBC projects’ directory, there are only Six LEED Certified projects and 17 registered projects in Egypt. This implies the limited number of LEED projects in Egypt. That's why most of the empirical studies conducted about LEED Rating System were performed on other markets than the Egyptian one; Accordingly This paper is the result of a longitudinal study that was performed on Three Egyptian LEED Certified projects as a part of a master thesis research that was submitted to Cairo University in 2013 by the first author where the second and the third author were the main supervisors. The objective of this study was to investigate the implementation of the LEED Rating system credits in Egypt through a comparative analysis of Three Egyptian LEED Certified projects.The results of this study included a classification for the most achieved and targeted credits within the Egyptian market. This study may also contribute to a better understanding of the concept of implementing LEED green building rating system in Egypt and may suggest some recommendations for future studies
Novel azo disperse dyes derived from aminothiophenes: Synthesis and UV-visible studies.
No full textA number of red to violet thienyl-2-azo and thienyl-5-azo disperse dyes were prepared using Gewald's methodology. Structural characterization of these novel dyes was carried out using IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. UV–visible studies of these azo dyes in a number of polar solvents showed a considerable difference in the λmax. The introduction of various substituents to these azo dyes as well as the polarity of solvents resulted in absorption in the visible region ranging from 461 to 555 nm
Synthesis and electrochemical studies of cationic organoiron dendrimers.
No full textA no. of routes to the synthesis of dendrimeric materials coordinated to the cationic cyclopentadienyliron moiety were explored. As an example, reaction of dichloroarene cyclopentadienyliron complexes with a triphenolic compd. resulted in the formation of a trimetallic ether complex contg. terminal chloro groups. The resulting complex was subsequently reacted with other arom. ether complexes using a convergent approach to yield organometallic dendrimers with the metallic moieties pendent to the backbone of the macromols. The redox properties of these materials were explored using cyclic voltammetry. These studies showed that the organoiron species were reduced between -1.2 and -1.4 V, with the peripheral and inner cyclopentadienyliron moieties being distinguishable at low temps. and low sweep rates. Arom. ether complexes were also synthesized to include other functional groups in their backbones. For example, functionalization of the branches with carboxylic acid groups resulted in the arom. ether dendrimers being sol. in basic water
