GETTING MARRIED, MAKE YOU HEALTHY

                              GETTING MARRIED, MAKE YOU HEALTHY



Getting married is a linkage relationship between two people with different sex and non-muhrim individuals empowered by religion. Marriage is not uncommon things and new things among people. But how the relation among marriage to a person's health, recently the subject of a new study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology on 31 January 2013 and has also described in the article "Single Adults Have Greater Risk Attack" by Tanya Lewis, LiveScience Staff Writer.


In the study presented if a man who chose to live single has a possible risk of heart disease 58 to 66 percent higher than married men. Likewise, for a single woman who would have the possibility of heart disease risk of 60 to 65 percent higher than married women. Single men and women are also more likely to die within 28 days of suffering a cardiac event. Men who are not married have a mortality risk of 60-168 persen/28 day higher than married men, married women do not have the risk of mortality persen/28 71-175 days higher than married women.


This phenomenon is due to the men and women who marry tend to have healthier lifestyles than men and women who live single. Marital life, allows one partner to another and maintain the health of their partners remind each other. This research was conducted to the exclusion factor unhappy marriages (unhappy married).


These results remind us how the Prophet Muhammad SAW to spread Islam very anthusiastic in rocommending the Islam community that has entered the age of legal age and have the ability, it is recommended to get married. If do not have the ability, he advised his people to fast. This solution become reasonable for now because fasting is the most powerful method of health to maintain a healthy body as well as the clarity of his mind. As stated in the hadith Rasul (Prophet Said) :

From Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud Radliyallaahu 'anhu said: The Messenger Muhammad Shallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said to us: " young people, whoever among you has ability to built a family, please get married, because he can lower his gaze and maintain genitalia. Whoever has not been able should fast, because it can control you.


In fact, because it is so important to a marriage - until he threatened any of his people who deliberately do not get married, then they are not the Prophet Muhammad ummah. It was stated as the following hadith


From Anas Ibn Malik Radliyallaahu 'anhu that the Prophet Muhammad Shallallaahu’alaihi wa sallam after praising Allah and lauding Him, said : But I pray, sleep, fasting, iftar, and married women. Whoever hates Sunnah, it does not include my ummah.


The important conclusion for us is really any teaching delivered by the Prophet Muhammad SAW is a good way of life for his people (ummah) to achieve happiness in the world and the hereafter. Because Islam is a religion that best suits our nature as human beings.

FASTING TO WORSHIP minimize the possibility RISK OF DEATH DRIVER ON CAR ACCIDENT

FASTING TO WORSHIP minimize the possibility RISK OF DEATH DRIVER ON CAR ACCIDENT

The development technology is very influential on the human lifestyle. Human behavior is especially striking affected by these developments one of which is human eating behavior. Due to the demands of the times and technological advances that require us to always hunt with the time at work. Busyness is not directly change our eating habits become irregular and less attention to the composition of our diet.

Changes in eating behavior is causing our health impaired. Many medical problems that we suffer because of poor diet this. Starting from ulcer disease until one disease is a scourge for everyone that is Obesity.

WHO Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that pose health risks to the human body. Obesity or overweight is a precursor to the development of various diseases in the human body such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, hypertension, high cholesterol, liver, asthma, and gynecological problems.

How to solve this obesity problem? In the religion of Islam these problems have been anticipated since the 15th century. Namely through FASTING. Fasting is an act that deliberately not eating and drinking from dawn until sunset. How is the relationship between fasting and obesity? Our bodies need energy to do activities. In the non-fasting conditions, energy intake derived from our process of body metabolism to nutritional foods we eat. Meanwhile, when we fast we do not derive energy from food intake, but energy is obtained from a chemical reaction process by outlining the pile up of sugar and fat is converted into energy. Therefore, fasting can reduce fatty deposits in the body. Then the conclusion of fasting, the risk of obesity can be prevented.

How does the discussion of the correlation of fasting and obesity on the risk of death in a car accident?

Recent studies revealed that obesity can increase the risk of dying in a car accident.

In these studies the value drivers of obesity body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 35 then have a risk of death during a car accident by 20% higher than a person of normal weight. As for the driver with a BMI of 40 and above the value at risk of death during a car accident by 80%.

The research was based on data from a car accident during the period from 1996 to 2008. The main reason why obesity is more dangerous for car accidents because obese people tend to have health problems such as cardiovascular disease can increase the risk of driver death during a car accident.

 In addition, changes in car design may be necessarily to better protect obese drivers in car crashes, the researchers said. One study found obese drivers traveled farther in their seats before their seat belts engaged in the pelvis area during a crash compared to normal-weight drivers. The delay in seat-belt activation was due to more soft tissue in the abdomen that prevents the belt from fitting close to the pelvis, the researchers said. While the legs and abdomen traveled father from the seat in obese people compared to normal- weight individuals, the upper body was held back, the researchers said. (source: www.livescience.com)

From the results of research on the effects of exposure to obesity to the driver fatality risk level in a car accident then we can draw a logical correlation "fasting able to reduce the possible risk of driver death in motor vehicle accidents."

Conclusions on the further strengthening of Islam as a religion that is always grounded in the fundamental truths conveyed by divine revelation by our master Prophet Muhammad.

Penggunaan Fly Ash sebagai Bahan Geopolimer

Penggunaan Fly Ash sebagai Bahan Geopolimer

 Geopolimer merupakan polimer anorganik berasal dari sintesis senyawa alumino-silikat yang diaktifasi oleh larutan alkalin kuat (Nicholson, 2005). Proses sintesis geopolimer dikenal dengan istilah geopolimerisasi. Reaksi geopolimerisasi adalah eksotermis , berlangsung pada tekanan 1 Atm, dan pada temperatur rendah (dibawah 100 0c) (Panias, 2006). Pada dasarnya struktur geopolimer hampir sama dengan zeolit, keduanya mengandung kerangka Si-O-Al. Namun, terdapat perbedaan utama yang membedakan struktur zeolit dan geopolimer yaitu geopolimer cenderung amorf. Geopolimer sebagai material yang relative baru sangat potensial untuk menggantikan semen Portland terutama dalam aplikasinya sebagai bahan dasar pembuatan beton.

Geopolimer sebagai material yang relatif baru sangat potensial untuk menggantikan semen portland terutama dalam aplikasinya sebagai bahan dasar pembuatan beton. Hal ini dikarenakan geopolimer memiliki mechanical properties yang bagus yaitu memiliki kuat tekan tinggi (lebih dari 100 Mpa), tahan terhadap panas (lebih dari 1400 C) dan tidak meleleh serta ramah lingkungan (Xu and van Deventer, 2002). Geopolimer dapat disintesis dari bahan baku Fly ash, berasal dari abu pembakaran batu bara.

Penelitian tentang pemanfaatan fly ash sebagai starting material dari geoplimer telah banyak dilakukan. Diantaranya dengan menggunakan fly ash dari PLTU dari PT Semen Gresik yang dilakukan oleh Arik Alfiah, S.Si. Hasil sintesis geopolimer dengan menggunakan fly ash dari PLTU PT Semen Gresik dapat menghasilkan kuat tekan hingga 106,69 MPa.

Dari hasil penelitian ini memberikan alternatif lain bagi kita untuk menghasilkan bahan beton dengan bahan yang relatif murah dan ramah lingkungan.

Utilization of Fly Ash as Polypropylene Filler

Utilization of Fly Ash as Polypropylene Filler

 Fly ash is the finally mineral residue resulting from the combustion of the char coal in electric generating plant. Fly ash consists of inorganic matters in the coal that has been fused during coal combustion. Fly ash generally consists of SiO2, Al2O3, SO3, CaO and other mineral. Fly ash particle generally are spherical in shape. Fly ash particles also have 10 - 20μm in size. Fly ash can dissolve in water so being problem for environment. Fly ash also can being problem for human health such as irritating eyes, skin, nose and inhalation and cancer (MSDS, 2005).

At this moment, some reseacher examine how fly ash become usefull for human. One of that research, made fly ash as the material filler of polypropylene. Fly ash make polypropylene more strenght than pure polypropylen as the result. It is signed that polypropylene modified by fly ash filler with 0.15% w/w in plypropylen at composition can improve their ultimate tensile strenght 12.8% higher than the pure polypropylene. Polypropylene Modificated by adding fly ash filler in, are not change its chemical resistance.

This research is being a new era for human equipment industry. You can imagine in your mind how if human equipment that is made by mineral or iron can be replaced by polymer material. It will be light in weight and also made our life easier.

Penggunaan Fly Ash sebagai Filler Polipropilen

Penggunaan Fly Ash sebagai Filler Polipropilen

Fly ash merupakan abu ringan yang dihasilkan dari pembakaran batubara. Ukuran partikel fly ash berkisar antara 10 - 20μm dengan bentuk partikel sperti bola. Fly ash mengandung mineral SiO2 amorf, SiO2 kristalin, Al2O3, CaO, TiO2, Fe2O3 dan MgO. Komposisi fly ash sangat tergantung pada jenis batubara dan sistem pembakaran batubara tersebut. Sifat fly ash yang ringan menyebabkan beberapa permasalahan lingkungan khususnya bagi kesehatan penduduk di sekitar industri yang menggunakan bahan bakar batubara. Permasalahan kesehatan yang diakibatkan oleh fly ash adalah iritasi pada mata, iritasi pada kulit, iritasi pada membran mucuous, penyakit pada organ pernafasan seperti pada paru-paru dan penyakit kanker. Sifat fly ash yang dapat larut di dalam air menyebabkan oksida logam yang terkandung di dalamnya tersebar dalam lingkungan sehingga fly ash menjadi polutan bagi lingkungan (MSDS, 2005).

Dewasa ini sering digalakkan penelitian untuk pemanfaatan fly ash. Diantaranya dengan memanfaatkan fly ash sebagai material filler dalam polipropilen. Material filler merupakan material yang digunakan untuk bahan pengisi rongga kosong dalam polipropilen. Penggunaan material filler memberikan efek terhadap sifat mekanik, ketahanan terhadap bahan kimia dan bahkan konduktivitas dari polipropilen.

 Penggunaan fly ash sebagai material filler ditritmen terlebih dulu dengan bahan silana. Bahan silana berfungsi sebagai konektor antara polipropilen dan fly ash (coupling agent).Sehingga fly ash dapat lebih compatible dengan polipropilen.

 Polipropilen yang dimodivikasi dengan fly ash mengalami perkembangan sifat mekanik dan ketahanan terhadap bahan kimia. Pada kadar 0.15 % b/b fly ash dalam polipropilen dapat menaikkan nilai ultimate tensile strenght dari polipropilen sebesar 12.81% terhadap polipropilen tanpa fly ash serta sifat ketahanan terhadap bahan kimia yang tidak mengalami banyak perubahan (Salam, 2009).

 Hasil penelitian ini sangat bermanfaat bagi kehidupan kita. Penelitian ini merupakan awal kemajuan teknologi dan science untuk menggantikan peralatan yang terbuat dari baja atau logam yang berat dengan peralatan yang terbuat dari bahan polimer yang tentunya akan lebih ringan beratnya

DEMOCRACY IS GAMBLING

DEMOCRACY IS GAMBLING

Democracy is a system of government that heralded as a modern governance system and the best one today. The system of government is basically putting all the decisions based on the will of the people who intended to make dreams of the people most. Each of the people without any exception background have equal rights in determining the direction of government policy.

This system offers a cursory ° Based justice system. Yes, just as all people without exception have the same right to fulfill his wish. But it was the principle of justice is what backfired for the government taking this democratic system. All of a policy decision to be a kind of gambling because the end decided by voting. Any means taken to achieve the most votes. Start of ways that the legal approaches to socialization and exposure to media up on the way - illegal means such as bribery, coercion and practice and other corruption practices.

Once the decision is taken, there is always a party - a neglected minority party. Finally the aspiring our opinion in public places were taken (demonstration). Ranging from speeches, to the action - any action taken anarchist. The point there is no word in any decision ENDS policies adopted by a vote that is rooted in the democratic system. So the word democracy is Democracy is gambling.

Since the democratic system is also similar to gambling, the results of any measures and rules taken also as a gamble. The result could be good or could be bad depending on who is likely to choose and support the policy. At stake is the future of a village, a district / city, a province and even the country. So who is taking advantage of the implementation of this system, those in power and rich one is. They freely profit from this bet. Why, because the role of the They could be double that as a player and also as the bookies.

The last word : IS IT APPROPRIATE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM STILL BEEN MAINTAINED?

SEJUMLAH TANYA UNTUK WAKTU

SEJUMLAH TANYA UNTUK WAKTU

Apakah waktu ?

Secara harfiah waktu merupakan seluruh rangkaian saat ketika proses, perbuatan atau keadaan berada atau berlangsung (kamus besar Bahasa Indonesia 1997). Saat kita kecil bahkan sampai sekarang sering terlintas dalam pikiran kita tentang mesin waktu. Yakni alat yang mampu membawa kita berjalan melintasi waktu. Pikiran – pikiran liar itu pun semakin tertantang saat kita dulu masih duduk dibangku sekolah dan menyimak penjelasan guru kita tentang relativitas waktu (teori Einstein). Namun dari sekian gagasan – gagasan yang muncul dari pikiran liar itu, yang mendominasi adalah bagaimana usaha kita untuk kembali kemasa lalu. Bukan berjalan melintasi waktu menuju masa depan.

Kenapa demikian ? karena Kita berharap untuk mengulangi dan memperbaiki setiap peristiwa yang kita alami. Sehingga harapan terakhirnya adalah mendapatkan masa sekarang dan masa depan yang lebih baik.

Apakah itu aneh ? tidak sama sekali. Karena itu adalah sifat fitrah dari manusia. Gagasan untuk bisa kembali kemasa lalu sebenarnya merupakan bentuk lain dari penyesalan kita akan kesalahan yang diperbuat kita dimasa lalu. Sehingga juga merupakan fitrah manusia untuk berupaya memperbaiki kesalahan pada masa lalu kita.

Apakah perjalanan ke masa lalu bisa terwujud? Jawabannya, dengan teknologi yang ada saat ini adalah BISA. Bagaimana? Dengan perkembangan teknologi yang ada saat ini perjalanan kemasa lalu tidak lagi hanya dilakukan sendirian dengan menjalankan memori otak kita untuk mengenang masa lalu. Saat ini kita bisa menikmati perjalanan ke masa lalu bersama orang – orang tercinta dan sahabat – sahabat karib disekitar kita. Yakni dengan memutar kembali foto/video rekaman masa lalu kita (yang telah direkam sebelumnya).

Namun apakah kita mampu melakukan perbaikan/editing terhadap masa lalu kita sehingga kita bisa mendapatkan kehidupan kita yang sekarang dan dimasa depan menjadi lebih baik? Jawabannya dapat dipastikan adalah TIDAK. Akan tetapi kita bisa mengambil hikmah/pelajaran dari masa lalu kita untuk menjalankan masa kehidupan kita yang sekarang  dengan harapan mendapatkan masa depan yang lebih baik.

Mengapa demikian? Karena waktu diciptakan dan ditakdirkan oleh Allah SWT tidak untuk berjalan mundur ke masa lalu. Waktu akan terus berjalan kedepan tanpa memperdulikan kita yang lagi tersengal – sengal kelelahan menjalani hidup ini. Waktu tidak akan pernah menunggu kita untuk beristirahat sejenak sembari kita masih bingung dalam membuat suatu keputusan. Apalagi  kembali ke masa lalu untuk membiarkan kita memperbaiki setiap kesalahan - kesalahan yang telah kita lakukan dimasa lalu secara sadar atau karena khilaf.

Siapakah waktu ?

waktu adalah makhluk ALLAH SWT. 

Waktu adalah mahluk ciptaanNYA yang paling konsisten. Konsisten untuk selalu berjalan kedepan menyusuri takdirnya bersama – sama kehidupan makhluk ciptaanNYA yang lain. 

Waktu yang dengannya  ALLAH SWT bersumpah dalam firmanNYA.

Waktu adalah yang dengannya ALLAH SWT memperingatkan hamba – hambaNYA untuk tidak menjadi hamba yang merugi. 

Waktu adalah yang dengannya ALLAH SWT memperingatkan hamba – hambaNYA akan pedih dan dahsyatnya adzabNYA

Waktu adalah yang denganNYA ALLAH SWT menentukan masa kehidupan makhlukNYA. 

Waktu adalah yang denganNYA ALLAH SWT menentukan saat –saat bagi hambaNYA untuk beribadah kepadaNYA.
