MINGGU HALUAN SISWA UNIVERSITI MALAYA NILAM PURI SESI 2010/11

Wednesday, December 1, 2010 | By PuTeRa IsLaMz

Seperti kampus induk Universiti Malaya Kuala Lumpur, Pusat Asasi Pengajian IslamUniversiti Malaya cawangan Nilam Puri,Kelantan (APIUMNP) juga tidak ketinggalan dalam menganjurkan sebuah program suaikenal yang lebih dikenali dengan nama Minggu Haluansiswa(MHS), khusus untuk menyambut kedatangan para penuntutnya yang baru dan bakal menyandang gelaran mahasiswa IPTA. Program yang bermula pada bulan Mei 2010 ini berlangsung selama 5 hari (Ahad sehingga Khamis).

Di sini,para penuntut dari pelbagai pelusuk negeri dibahagikan kepada 4 cabang asasi iaitu :

Pendidikan Islam (PI)
Usuluddin
Syariah
Asasi Pengajian Islam dan Sains (APIDS).

Istimewanya pelaksanaan program MHS di APIUMNP berbanding dengan IPT-IPT terkemuka yang lain ialah penerapan tarbiyah(didikan/penerapan agama) yang dilakukan kepada setiap peserta dan juga pengenalan kepada biah(suasana) solehah yang sedia ada di sini. Sesuai dengan panggilan ‘Serambi Mekah’dan ‘Bumi Para Ulama’ yang telah sekian lama disinonimkan dengan bumi Kelantan ini,tidak hairanlah jika perjalanan program MHS di sini setiap tahun dipadatkan dengan aktiviti-aktiviti berlandaskan syara’ lagi bermanfaat.

Selain daripada sesi-sesi taklimat yang menjadi kelaziman bagi setiap IPT ketika ‘musim pengenalan kepada kehidupan pra-kampus’ ini, program ini turut memuatkan aktiviti-aktiviti lain seperti :

permainan-permainan (games) yang memerlukan resolusi dari sudut keagamaan dan mengandungi nilai pengajaran yang tinggi
aktiviti riadhah seperti senaman aerobic
pertandingan sukaneka
malam persembahan dan lain-lain.

Sememangnya amalan-amalan yang menjadi asas pengukuhan agama seperti

tazkirah selepas Maghrib
solat berjemaah 5 waktu sehari semalam
tilawah Al-Quran
bacaan ma’thurat selepas Subuh dan Asar
Qiamullail

diserap sebagai sebahagian daripada aktiviti-aktiviti penting di sini sebagai satu usaha untuk men’sebati’kan amalan-amalan tiang agama ini ke dalam darah dan daging mereka yang bergelar Muslim.

Seawal ini, pelajar APIDS masih belum berkesempatan untuk menubuhkan organisasi rasminya sendiri. Meskipun begitu, sepanjang seminggu program ini dijalankan , Pelajar APIDS menunjukkan prestasi yang agak memberangsangkan apabila mereka aktif menonjolkan dan melibatkan diri dalam apa jua slot yang diadakan. Pada penghujung program, pelajar APIDS dibahagikan kepada 2 majmuah (kumpulan) :

Majmuah 9
Majmuah 10

manakala pelajar daripada 3 bidang lagi dibahagikan kepada 8 majmuah yang lain.

Classes on the holiday

| By Unknown

اسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Alert APIDS' kids!

There will be some classes to be held on the holidays onwards.

Of course before the final exam.

Let me tell you the exact fact before you express your mumble, frustration, your intention to go back home etc etc whatever not.

As APIDS students we've required to have 18 weeks of Maths subject each (Algebra and Calculus) instead of 14 weeks for Islamic Studies' subjects.

So, there were extra 4 WEEKS more for us to cope all the syllabus.

I've called our beloved Dr. J for the classes, so we will start on TUESDAY 5 OCTOBER 2010.

Any other classes onwards will be told later due to further discussion for date exchanges as our member ALWAYS be busied by other occasions, which was I supposed, more important than Math Classes.

For anyone who had an intention for going back home, think twice.

PASUM's kids had 18 weeks of classes for THE SAME PAPER that will going to be seated, but if you keep on excusing yourself, of course you couldn't cope the syllabus as much as them, unless you're smart enough to score.

Sama2lah memperbaiki diri untuk masa yang akan mendatang. Kami bagi pihak APIDS mengharapkan lebih banyak aktiviti seperti ini dianjurkan yang melibatkan kami.

Snoring , not Funny not hopeless

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 | By Ariff

Some 45% of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 25% are habitual snorers. Problem snoring is more frequent in males and overweight persons, and it usually grows worse with age.

More than 300 devices are registered in the U.S Patent and Trademark Office as cures for snoring. Some are variations on the old idea of sewing a tennis ball on the pajama back-to force the snorer to sleep on his side. (Snoring is often worse when the person sleeps on his back). Chin and head usually disappointing as snoring cures. Many electrical devices have been designed to produce painful or unpleasant stimuli when the patient snores. The presumption was that a person could be trained or conditioned not to snore. Unfortunately, snoring is not under the person’s control whatsoever; and if these work. It is probably because they keep the snorer awake.

What cause snoring?? The noisy sounds of snoring occur when there is an obstruction to the free flow of air through the passages at the back of the mouth and nose. This is collapsible part of the airway where the tongue and upper throat meet the soft palate and uvula (the fleshy structure that dangles from the roof of the mouth back into the throat). When these structures strike against each other and vibrate during breathing- that is snoring. Persons who snore have at least one of the following problems:

1. Poor muscle tone (lack of tightness) in the muscle of the tongue and throat.

2. Excessive bulkiness of tissues of the throat.

3. Excessive length of the soft palate and uvula.

4. Obstructed nasal airway.

Also, deformities of the nose or nasal septum frequently cause such obstruction. “deviated septum” is a common term for a deformity inside the nose in the wall that separates one nostril from the other.

Can snoring be cured? By far the majority of snores can helped. For adults who are mild or occasional snores, the following self-help remedies are worth trying.

1. Adopt an athletic life-style and exercise daily to develop good muscle tone and loose weight.

2. Avoid tranquilizers, sleeping pills and antihistamines before bedtime.

3. Avoid alcoholic beverages within 4 hours of retiring.

4. Avoid getting overtired; establish regular sleeping patterns.

5. Sleep sideways rather than on the back. Consider sewing a pocket on the pajama back to hold a tennis ball. This help to avoid sleeping on your back.

6. Tilt the entire bed with the head upward 4 inches.

7. Allow the non-snorer to get sleep first.

Remember! Snoring means obstructed breathing, and obstruction can be serious. It is not Funny and it is definitely not Hopeless.

Limits and Infinity

| By Ariff

One of the mysteries of Mathematics seems to be the concept of "infinity", usually denoted by the symbol $\infty$ . So what is $\infty$ ? It is simply a symbol that represents large numbers. Indeed, numbers are of three kinds: large, normal size, and small. The normal size numbers are the ones that we have a clear feeling for. For example, what does a trillion mean? That is a very large number. Also numbers involved in macro-physics are very large numbers. Small numbers are usually used in micro-physics. Numbers like 10^-75 are very small. Being positive or negative has special meaning depending on the problem at hand. The common mistake is to say that $-\infty$ is smaller than 0. While this may be true according to the natural order on the real line in term of sizes, $-\infty$ is big, very big!

So when do we have to deal with $\infty$ and $-\infty$ ? Easy: whenever you take the inverse of small numbers, you generate large numbers and vice-versa. Mathematically we can write this as:

$\begin{displaymath}\frac{1}{0} = \pm \infty\;\;\mbox{and}\;\; \frac{1}{\infty} = 0\;.\end{displaymath}$

Note that the inverse of a small number is a large number. So size-wise there is no problem. But we have to be careful about the positive or negative sign. We have to make sure we know whether a small number is positive or negative. 0+ represents small positive numbers while 0- represents small negative numbers. (Similarly, we will use e.g. 3+ to denote numbers slightly bigger than 3, and 3- to denote numbers slightly smaller than 3.) In other words, being more precise we have

$\begin{displaymath}\frac{1}{0+} = +\infty\;\;\mbox{and}\;\; \frac{1}{0-} = -\infty\;.\end{displaymath}$

Remark. Do not treat $\pm\infty$ as ordinary numbers. These symbols do not obey the usual rules of arithmetic, for instance, $\infty +1=\infty$ , $\infty -1=\infty$ , $2 \cdot\infty=\infty$ , etc.

Example. Consider the function

$\begin{displaymath}f(x) = \frac{1}{x-3}\;\cdot\end{displaymath}$

When $x \rightarrow 3$ , then $x-3 \rightarrow 0$ . So

$\begin{displaymath}\lim_{x \rightarrow 3-} f(x) = \frac{1}{0-} = -\infty\;\;\mbo... ...d}\;\; \lim_{x \rightarrow 3+} f(x) = \frac{1}{0+} = +\infty\;.\end{displaymath}$

Note that when x gets closer to 3, then the points on the graph get closer to the (dashed) vertical line x=3. Such a line is called a vertical asymptote. For a given function f(x), there are four cases, in which vertical asymptotes can present themselves:

(i): $\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow a-} f(x) = -\infty$ ; $\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow a+} f(x) = -\infty$ ;
(ii): $\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow a-} f(x) = -\infty$ ; $\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow a+} f(x) = +\infty$ ;
(iii): $\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow a-} f(x) = +\infty$ ; $\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow a+} f(x) = -\infty$ ;
(iv): $\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow a-} f(x) = +\infty$ ; $\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow a+} f(x) = +\infty$ ;

Next we investigate the behavior of functions when $x \rightarrow \pm\infty$ . We have seen that $\displaystyle \frac{1}{\pm \infty} = 0$ . So for example, we have

$\begin{displaymath}\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} \frac{1}{x} = 0\;\;\mbox{and}\;\; \lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{1}{x} = 0\;.\end{displaymath}$

In the next example, we show how this result is very useful.

Example. Consider the function

$\begin{displaymath}f(x) = \frac{2x+1}{x-1}\;\cdot\end{displaymath}$

We have

$\begin{displaymath}\frac{2x+1}{x-1} = \frac{2+\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}}{1-\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}}\end{displaymath}$

which implies

$\begin{displaymath}\lim_{x \rightarrow \pm \infty} f(x)= \frac{2+0}{1-0} = 2\;.\end{displaymath}$

Note that when x gets closer to $\pm\infty$ (x gets large), then the points on the graph get closer to the horizontal line y=2. Such a line is called a horizontal asymptote.

In particular, we have

$\begin{displaymath}\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} \frac{a}{x^r} = 0\;\;\mbox{and}\;\; \lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{a}{x^r} = 0\end{displaymath}$

for any number a, and any positive number r, provided x^r is defined. We also have

$\begin{displaymath}\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} x^r = \infty\;.\end{displaymath}$

For $-\infty$ , we have to be careful about the definition of the power of negative numbers. In particular, we have

$\begin{displaymath}\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} x^n = (-1)^n \infty \end{displaymath}$

for any natural number n.

Example. Consider the function

$\begin{displaymath}f(x) = \frac{2x^4 -3x^2 + 5}{3x^4 + 2x +5}\;\cdot\end{displaymath}$

We have

$\begin{displaymath}\frac{2x^4 -3x^2 + 5}{3x^4 + 2x +5} = \frac{\displaystyle 2 -... ...5}{x^4}}{\displaystyle 3 + \frac{2}{x^3} +\frac{5}{x^4}}\;\cdot\end{displaymath}$

So we have

$\begin{displaymath}\lim_{x \rightarrow \pm \infty} f(x) = \frac{2 -0 + 0}{3 + 0 +0} = \frac{2}{3}\;\cdot\end{displaymath}$

Example. Consider the function

$\begin{displaymath}f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{4x^2 +2}}{3x+1}\;\cdot\end{displaymath}$

We have

$\begin{displaymath}\sqrt{4x^2 + 2} = \sqrt{x^2\left(4 + \frac{2}{x^2}\right)} = \vert x\vert \sqrt{4 + \frac{2}{x^2}}\end{displaymath}$

and then

$\begin{displaymath}\frac{\sqrt{4x^2 +2}}{3x+1} = \frac{\vert x\vert}{x} \frac{\d... ...ystyle \sqrt{4 + \frac{2}{x^2}}}{\displaystyle 3 + \frac{1}{x}}\end{displaymath}$
