    Accumulation Of Metallic Elements In Commercial Fish Species Of Setiu Coastal Waters, Terengganu As Pollution Bioindicator
    (Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2018) Muhammad Izzat Bin Kamaruzaman
    The pollution from Metallic Elements (MEs) becoming one of the major concern in assessing potential human risk on food consumption. Wild commercial fish exposed to the natural environment are the main source of exposure to human. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the concentration of MEs in selected commercial fish of Setiu coastal water and to study the correlation of the metals with the fish sizes. Ten types of MEs including chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) were detected in both the liver and muscle of five commercial species collected namely Auxis sp., Megalaspis cordyla, Rastrelliger sp, Selaroides sp. and Nemipterus sp. Fishes were dissected for muscle and liver and digested using Teflon Bomb digestion method. The concentration of MEs in the organ were detected using the Inductive Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrophometer. The data obtained show selected MEs were higher in the liver than the muscle except for Cr for all fish species collected. Overall concentration of all fish species shows that the concentration of Fe>Zn>As>Cu>Cd>Mn>Cr>Hg>Ni>Pb in the liver and the concentration of Fe>As>Zn>Cr>Cu>Mn>Ni>Hg>Pb>Cd in the muscle. The size of fish and the trophic level does not influence the MEs concentration in the fish. The concentration of MEs in the liver can safely say that does not affect the concentration of MEs in the muscle means that the fish diet is not the main source of metal content for muscle.

    Adoption Of Computerized Accounting Information System (Cais) Among Malaysian SMEs
    (Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2014) Wan Nur Syahida Binti Wan Ismail
    SMEs represent a vital segment of the Malaysian economy. Previous studies had indicated that the adequacy and reliability of an accounting system appears to be important to the survival of SMEs. Today, with efficient computer operations such as the computerized accounting information system (CAIS), an adequate accounting system could be achieved much easier than via the manual method. However, despite having greater access to computer technology than before, the potential of information technology is still underexploited by many SMEs. Furthermore, early CAIS adopters might not have fully utilized the potential of the technology. CAIS is considered important for SMEs to plan, record, trace and report their financial transactions. Hence, using CAIS could well help SMEs to achieve their financial aims

    Age And Growth Estimation Using Growth Band Counts Of Orange Mud Crab, Scylla Olivacea (Herbst, 1796) From Setiu Wetlands, Peninsular Malaysia
    (Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2018-05) Nurul Hasyima Binti Ismail
    Orange mud crab, Scylla olivacea (Herbst, 1796) is an important fishery products in Malaysia. Age study is important to generate the information on growth, recruitment, longevity, mortality for mud crab stock assessment. The aim of this study is to investigate the Growth Band Counts (GBC) deposited in thin sections of gastric mill of S. olivacea as age indicator for this species. A total of 90 wild caught S. olivacea were sampled from Setiu Wetlands, Peninsular Malaysia (February – October 2016) and 25 individuals of S. olivacea were reared in the hatchery of Institute of Tropical Aquaculture, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu for one year (March 2016 - March 2017). The periodicity of GBC in gastric mill of S. olivacea was validated using reared of known age samples. The results revealed that the presence of one GBC in reared S. olivacea were parallel to the age one year old of S. olivacea absolute age. One to three GBC were present in wild caught S. olivacea which indicated the age of one to three years old, respectively. There was a significantly positive relationship between Carapace Width (CW) and age, as the number of growth bands increased with putative age. The accuracy of bands counting was assessed by lower coefficient of variation values of reared and wild caught S. olivacea with 6.00 – 6.23% and 8.52 – 8.40%, respectively. Using the von Bertalanffy Growth Model equation, the growth parameters of S. olivacea was estimated and growth curves was fitted to CW at age data. The growth parameters such as asymptotic CW (CW∞), growth coefficient (K year -1 ) and initial condition parameter (t0) of the known age S. olivacea were narrower at 20.07 cm, 0.31 year -1 and - 0.20 than the wild samples at 28.01 cm, 0.36 year -1 and - 0.73 for female and at 29.34 cm, 0.38 year -1 and - 0.79 for male, respectively. The age composition suggested that S. olivacea population found in the Setiu Wetlands, Peninsular Malaysia has at least reached the age of 2 years old. The findings obtained from this study would substantially improve the direct age - based assessment for biological and ecological studies of mud crabs.

    Al-Bid'ah al-I'taqadiyyah
    (Terengganu: Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2014) Firdaus Khairi Abdul Kadir
    Perbahasan tentang pertentangan antara bid'ah dan sunnah telah berlangsung sekian lama. Pertentangan besar ini adalah berkait rapat dengan ketamadunan sesebuah masyarakat dan budaya. Ini adalah kerana, rentetan daripada budaya bid'ah akan merencatkan kemajuan tamadun Islam. Umat Islam akan asyik dengan ibadat rekaan sehingga melekakan mereka sebagai khafifah untuk mengimarahkan dunia ini. Hadith Rasulullah (SAW) telah menekankan bahawa kesan bid'ah adalah kesesatan, manifestasi kepada kesesatan adalah kemusnahan akidah. lantaran itulah, para ulama' silam seperti Imam AI-Shafi'i (150 H-204H), Imam Malik (164 H-241H), ai-ShatibT (790 H), Imam I'zzu ai-Din bin Abdul Salam (577H-660H) dan ramai lagi, telah cuba menjelaskan tentang pengertian sebenar konsep bid'ah dalam Islam sebagaimana dirakamkan dalam kitab besar mereka seperti AI-I'tisam, Qawaid a/-Ahkam dan banyak lagi. Dalam konteks kini, ulama' masakini seperti AI-Qaradawi, AI-Ghazali dan AI-Zuhaili yang turut sama menjelaskan tentang persoalan dasar yang mampu menggugat kemurnian akidah Islam.

    Al-I‘Józ Al-‘Ilmô Dalam Al-Qur´Ón: Persepsi Golongan Agama Di Kuala Terengganu
    (Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2012-03) Wan Helmy Shahriman Bin Wan Ahmad
    Al-Qur´Én merupakan salah satu daripada banyak mukijizat yang diberikan kepada Rasul yang terakhir nabi Muhammad (s.a.w). Kehebatannya terus berkekalan sejak lebih kurang 1430 tahun yang lalu dan dijamin kekal sehingga hari kiamat. Antara hikmah berkekalan mukjizat al-Qur´Én itu agar umat manusia pada akhir zaman ini dapat menguatkan lagi keimanan mereka terhadap agama suci ini secara amnya dan kebenaran kitab Allah (s.w.t) khasnya. Justeru, mereka menjalani kehidupan di muka bumi ini berpandukan kepada kitab suci tersebut demi mencapai kebahagiaan di dunia dan akhirat. Kehebatan al-Qur´Én boleh diklasifikasikan kepada beberapa aspek. Antaranya aspek bahasa, syariat dan ilmiah yang mustahil ditandingi oleh sesiapapun di alam ini. Allah (s.w.t) telah mencabar seluruh makhluk yang masih meragui kebenaran al-Qur´Én agar mendatangkan sebuah kitab sepertinya. Namun begitu, sehingga kini tiada sesiapapun yang berjaya.
