In the Islamic context, investing is highly recommended so that the future can be guaranteed. Of course, investments made by Muslims must be in accordance with Islamic rules. Investing in economy Islamic concepts will provide a sense of security and comfort for Muslim investors, without fear of deviating from Islamic teachings. As a devout Muslim, of course, investment choices must be appropriate and in accordance with the concept of Islam. The difference between conventional Islamic investment lies in the benefits given. The advantages of Islamic investment are in the form of profit sharing, while the conventional concept is interest. In the teachings of Islam, interest is haram, because it does not recognize value for money. In the view of Islam, money will not developed by itself but must go through productive and ruleful efforts. The purpose of making this paper is to discuss the advantages and risks in Islamic investment. This paper uses a literature review approach that comes from journals, books, the internet, and other sources. The results show that the advantages of Islamic investment are riba-free, minimal risk, Islamic management, halal and promoting social activities. Meanwhile, the risks that may be faced by investors are the risk of losing capital, the risk of uncertainty of return, and the difficulty of selling investment products. From the results, it was found that currently Islamic investment products are favored by non-Muslims alike. The concept of profit sharing is considered more profitable than interest. It can be concluded that Islamic rules can now be accepted by various groups of people in the world.

Abstrak Terapi bekam merupakan salah satu terapi kesehatan tertua di dunia. Hal ini dibuktikan, bekam sudah ada di dalam catatan kedokteran tertua Papyrus Ebers, yang ditulis 1550 SM pada era Mesir kuno. Terapi bekam sendiri terbagi menjadi dua jenis, yakni bekam basah dan bekam kering. Yang membedakan antara bekam basah dan bekam kering adalah keberadaan darah yang dikeluarkan. Kajian (review) ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui mekanisme, keamanan, dan juga manfaat bekam. Dari beberapa artikel penelitian yang telah didapatkan, umumnya dengan pemanfaatan bekam mendapatkan hasil yang baik. Sementara jumlah penelitian pemanfaatan bekam masih sedikit, sehingga masih diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mendapatkan bukti yang lebih baik dan meyakinkan. Di Indonesia, pelayanan kesehatan tradisional bekam diatur dalam PMK 61 tahun 2016 tentang Pelayanan Kesehatan Tradisional Empiris. Secara regulasi pelayanan tradisional bekam tidak direkomendasikan karena termasuk ke dalam tindakan dengan perlukaan. Padahal, kenyataannya pelayanan tradisional bekam ini ada dan diminati oleh masyarakat. Melihat khasiat dan antusias masyarakat, diharapkan pelayanan tradisional bekam tetap dapat dilakukan di Griya Sehat dengan menjadikan faktor keamanan sebagai fokus utama dalam pelayanan. Hal ini tentunya dapat didukung dengan adanya pembinaan secara menyeluruh mengenai keamanan pelayanan kesehatan tradisional bekam terhadap para praktisi bekam. Kata kunci: bekam, kesehatan tradisional, penyehat tradisional, manfaat terapi bekam Abstract Cupping therapy is one of the oldest health therapies in the world. This was proven by an ancient Egypt paper in 1550 SM as cupping was mentioned in their medical journal. Cupping therapy has been classified into two categories, which were wet and dry cupping. The difference between wet and dry cupping is the presence or absence of blood being released. This literature review aims to find out the history, development, and also the use of cupping. From some research articles that have been obtained, we generally get good results from the use of the cupping method. However, because research on cupping utilization is still limited, further research is needed to obtain better and more convincing evidence. Regulation of traditional cupping service is not recommended because it is an invasive action, when in fact this traditional cupping service exists and is in demand by the community. Seeing the efficacy and enthusiasm of the community, it is hoped that traditional cupping services can still be carried out in a griya sehat with regard to efficacy. Of course, can be supported by the existence of comprehensive guidance on the efficacy of traditional cupping health services for cupping practitioners. Keywords: traditional health service, cupping, safety, benefits

Here Glissant discusses a number of writers: the ethnographic and poetic work of Michel Leiris; Aimé Césaire; Saint-John Perse; Kateb Yacine; Mallarmé’s dream of writing the ‘Book of the World’, contrasted with Segalen’s embracing of diversity; and a detailed account of Yves Bonnefoy’s Du mouvement et de l’immobilité de Douve, and its influence on other poets. There is also a section devoted to Nelson Mandela. Glissant goes on to highlight the similarities between Islam, Christianity and Judaism as monotheistic religions. He then returns to issues he has already raise earlier in the book: the difference between books and the internet; the ‘Chaos-World’ and invariants; different ways of reading, linked to difference between language and langage, and, finally, a definition of the ‘Whole-World’.

The Information SuperHighway, Email, The Internet, FTP, BBS, Modems, : all buzz words which are becoming more and more routine in our daily life. Confusing terminology? Hopefully it won't be in a few minutes, all you need is to have a handle on a few basic concepts and terms and you will be on-line with the rest of the "telecommunication experts". These terms all refer to some type or aspect of tools associated with a range of computer-based communication software and hardware. They are in fact far less complex than the instruments we use on a day to day basis as microscopist's and microanalyst's. The key is for each of us to know what each is and how to make use of the wealth of information which they can make available to us for the asking. Basically all of these items relate to mechanisms and protocols by which we as scientists can easily exchange information rapidly and efficiently to colleagues in the office down the hall, or half-way around the world using computers and various communications media. The purpose of this tutorial/paper is to outline and demonstrate the basic ideas of some of the major information systems available to all of us today. For the sake of simplicity we will break this presentation down into two distinct (but as we shall see later connected) areas: telecommunications over conventional phone lines, and telecommunications by computer networks. Live tutorial/demonstrations of both procedures will be presented in the Computer Workshop/Software Exchange during the course of the meeting.

Background. Nearly all of the research on sex differences in mass media utilization has been based on samples from the United States and a few other Western countries. Aim. The present study examines sex differences in mass media utilization in four Asian countries (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore). Methods. College students self-reported the frequency with which they accessed the following five mass media outlets: television dramas, televised news and documentaries, music, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet. Results. Two significant sex differences were found when participants from the four countries were considered as a whole: Women watched television dramas more than did men; and in Japan, female students listened to music more than did their male counterparts. Limitations. A wider array of mass media outlets could have been explored. Conclusions. Findings were largely consistent with results from studies conducted elsewhere in the world, particularly regarding sex differences in television drama viewing. A neurohormonal evolutionary explanation is offered for the basic findings.
