Occupational physical activity measurement among nurses in Universiti Malaya Medical Centre / Syamsul Rizal Bin Abu Amin
Get PDFAlthough many studies have investigated the correlates of physical activity, these were mostly conducted in the leisure time domain. There is still lack of understanding about correlates physical activity exclusively in the workplace setting, as most study in the occupational domain are coupled with transportation domain. This study objectively examined the correlates of physical activity only in the occupational setting, where different backgrounds of female nurses were examined within the similar physical, social and working environment.
Objectives:
The primary objective is to examine relationships between correlates and components of physical activity in occupational setting. Secondary objectives are to investigate the prevalence of nurses who met the minimum recommended bout of physical activity and the characteristics of those who do.
Method:
37 female nurses in an urban hospital were monitored at work with accelerometer. Nurses who met the recommendation are those who performed activities of >3.0 METs for 10 continuous minutes. Linear regression model were fitted to analyse the correlation and association of sedentary time, averaged intensity of the performed occupation and walk amount with nurses‟ age, BMI and working experience. Independent sample t-test was used to examine differences between 2 groups of nurses – those who met and did not meet the minimum recommended bout.
Results:
Sedentary time is positively associated with age (r=0.51, β=1.6, p<0.01), BMI (r=0.43, β=1.8, p<0.01) and working experience (r=0.48, β=0.14, p<0.01). Averaged intensity of occupation is negatively associated with age (r=-0.51, β=-0.03, p<0.01), BMI (r=-0.59, β=-0.1, p<0.01) and working experience (r=-0.41, β=-0.03, p<0.01). Walk amount is negatively associated with age (r=-0.40, β=-178, p=0.01) and working experience (r=-0.48, β=-14, p=0.04) but not BMI (p=0.87). 56.8% (n=21) of the nurses met the minimum recommendation. These nurses are significantly (p<0.01) younger, smaller BMI, and less experience. They significantly (p<0.01) spent less time being sedentary, scored higher MET values and walked more.
Conclusion:
The findings of this study have not only confirmed the relationships between the correlates occupational physical activity, but further extended the evidence that workplace activities can contribute to meeting the ACSM-AHA 2007 physical activity recommendations. Age, BMI and working experience are important considerations to increase both incidental and structured physical activity interventions at workplace

TINJAUAN HUKUM ISLAM TERHADAP PELAKSANAAN SEPASARAN PADA AQIQAH DALAM ADAT JAWA (Studi Kasus: Desa Karya Indah Kecamatan Tapung Kabupaten Kampar)
Get PDFABSTRAK
Syamsul Rizal (2025): Tinjauan Hukum Islam Terhadap Pelaksanaan
Upacara Sepasaran Pada Aqiqah Dalam Jawa (Studi
Kasus: Desa Karya Indah Kecamatan Tapung
Kabupaten Kampar)
Adat atau dalam Islam dikenal dengan ‘Urf, merupakan sekumpulan norma,
kebiasaan, dan praktik yang berkembang dalam kehidupan masyarakat sebagai
pedoman dalam berperilaku. Dalam Islam ada ‘Urf saheh dan ‘Urf Fasid, ‘Urf
Saheh ialah ‘Urf yang dibolehkan, sedangkan ‘Urf Fasid merupakan ‘Urf yang
dilarang. Di Desa Karya Indah terdapat tradisi dalam menyambut hari kelima
kelahiran bayi dalam adat jawa, yang dikenal dengan upacara sepasaran. Upacara
sepasaran ini pada perakteknya dianggap melenceng dari ajaran Islam, dikarenakan
terdapat unsur syirik dan mubazir pada saat pelaksanaannya.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana praktek pelaksanaan
upacaara sepasaran pada aqiqah di Desa Karya Indah, serta mengkaji
pelaksanaannya berdasarkan perspektif hukum Islam.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi
lapangan yang mana lokasi penelitiannya berada di Desa Karya Indah. Data primer
pada penelitian ini diperoleh melalui wawancara informan, yang mana pada
penelitian ini terdapat tiga jenis informan yaitu informan kunci, utama dan
pendukung, yang menjadi informan kunci pada penelitian ini berjumlah 12 orang,
informan utama berjumlah 6 orang dan informan pendukung berjumlah 15 orang.
Data sekunder diperoleh dari kajian pustaka terkait hukum Islam, konsep aqiqah,
dan adat sepasaran. Cara memperoleh datanya yaitu melalui observasi dan
wawancara lansung bersama informan di Desa Karya Indah. Dari hasil observasi
dan wawancara tersebut barulah data tersebut diolah dan dikembangkan menjadi
hipotesisi penelitian kemudian dianalisis dan diambil kesimpulan.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan aqiqah di Desa Karya
Indah sesuai dengan Syariat Islam karena memenuhi ketentuan aqiqah, seperti
penyembelihan hewan kambing atau domba sesuai aturan Islam. Sebaliknya, tradisi
sepasaran dikategorikan sebagai ‘Urf Fasid (adat yang rusak) karena tradisi
sepasaran dinilai mengandung unsur syirik dan mubazir. Syirik dikarenakan
memberikan sesajen kepada Kakang Kawah Adi Ari-Ari dalam bentuk
penghormatan yang berlebihan, kemudian mubazirnya disebabkan bubur yang
dijadikan sesajen untuk Kakang Kawah Adi Ari-Ari tersebut tidak boleh dikonsumsi
karena sudah dikhususkan untuk Ari-Ari tersebut. Masyarakat Jawa mempercayai
bahwasanya Ari-Ari tersebutlah yang nantinya akan memakan bubur tersebut.
Tradisi aqiqah dapat dilestarikan karena sejalan dengan ajaran Islam. Sementara
itu, upacara sepasaran perlu untuk direformulasikan yang mana semulanya terdapat
unsur syirik maka diganti dengan doa atau kegiatan ibadah yang sesuai dengan
ajaran Islam. Kemudian sebagai penganti elemen mubazirnya, maka bubur yang
semulanya dibuang maka bisa dioptimalkan dengan menjadikannya sebagai
hidangan makan tamu yang hadir.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
