Hai everyone.......!!!

Drug??? I am also agree with Yana said that drug abuse is becoming a serious problem among students in Malaysia.The drug addiction trend is not only prevalent among school leavers but also among students.There are many people and organizations in our culture who are trying very hard to make sure that Drug Addiction is NOT seen as a disease or as the result of genetic or biological predisposition. These people have a strong personal and social interest in an entirely nonphysiological model of addictive human behavior. Their perspective of social problems is based primarily on a philosophical orientation with a social perspective, heralding socio-political correctness as its goal.

Throughout history, and from my observation also, a great many people and institutions have tried to help alcoholics and addicts. Currently, there are thousands of different programs in Malaysia trying to help those people who have a social or personal problem with drugs or alcohol. Yet, the success rate for these programs is extraordinarily low considering the effort and investment made.

There are countless reasons why these programs are not working, however the main reason is yet to be realized. Existing programs are not working because they're based on false assumptions of philosophy and human nature. They do not address the motivations and emotions of addictions.

Today, drug treatment and rehabilitation centers are typically operating on the belief that social or philosophical factors are causing the addictive behavior, and that if we could change an addict's belief system, or his social support structure we could end his addictive behavior. And yet, the success an individual attains, typically doesn't last as long as the treatment. This superficial view comes from our governmental and religious orientations which maintain that addiction is the result of bad personal choices, weak character, and anti-social or irreligious behaviors.The rehabilition centre also operating in some university to detect their student who are involve in drug addiction.

Sociologists, religious adherents, and government agents see addictive behavior as being criminal or sinful. These kinds of social judgments do little to help the addict, yet, they do cause harm, making the addict feel shameful, weak, or helpless. Suddenly he feels like a child who wets the bed, or cant control his impulse to explore, and then is shamed or punished. Trying to demand or force a behavior which is in direct conflict with the natural drives and motivations of the individual is dangerous....Lastly,I hope that this serious problem can be solved successfully and we as good student and have many friends must be alert on this issue....


That's all from me....
thank you...

HELLO Everyone ! Emm...It is not too late for me to wish Mdm Faridah and my friends, “SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI”
This is my third time posting a comment. Due to the issue brought up by Ying Ying on SHOULD homosexual marriage be legalised??? ... I would say that its must be legalised !!!
From the Statement of Affirmation and Reconciliation by the Quaker meeting in Aotearoa,
“Each individual's journey through life is unique. Some will make this journey alone, others in loving relationships - maybe in marriage or other forms of commitment. We need to ponder our own choices and try to understand the choices of others. Love has many shapes and colors and is not finite. It cannot be measured or defined in terms of sexual orientation."
From the statement above, it’s true that everyone has the rights to make their own choice and in accepting choices of others but it is considered as long as it is not against the religious practices. I believe that every religion have the reasons for prohibiting things that may lead to harm.
Marriage is a social recognition and approval..of a couple's engaging in sexual intercourse and bearing and rearing children.. it’s mean that the heterosexual unions provide the procreative foundation of the family unit that is the chief social building block of civilization. Just like what Ying Ying had mentioned, marriage is more than recognising people who love each other and want to spend their lives together. Through marriage, the society marks out the relationship of two people who will together transmit human life to the next generation and nurture and protect that life and without a shadow of doubt, homosexual marriage wouldn't ensure that..
The point that homosexual partnership is inherently sterile as no one can neither choose nor change their sexual orientation. It is against the marriage concept on bearing and rearing children for the next generation. Can we imagine the world without kids? Or abandon partners with the same sex? I’m sure it will be horrify looking at the couples. Of course it’s not a good practice and values that can be shown to the children. What will they think about it? Just ask ourselves, do we want the children to follow that bad attitude? Obviously it’s against the religious practices and indirectly against God’s creation. God had created us as what we should be. We shouldn’t change the fact.

I ‘m not really understood with Brian. He doesn’t agree and not oppose homosexual marriage as their lifestyle is out of the norm and it is indeed ethically wrong. But later he said that he don’t want to be one sided and just follow the flow. In my opinion, yes it’s true that we don’t have the rights to judge them as all of us are the creation of god. But as a human we are responsible to fix what is wrong and prevent thing that is not right.

Well, this is what I think and my opinion regarding this issue. I’m sure that other peoples have their own opinion. Till then, thank you. Have a nice day! -NIK FATIN SARAH A116830-

ORGAN DONATION

Organ donation is the removal of the organs or tissues of the human body from a person who has recently died, or from a living donor, for the purpose of transplanting them into other persons. People of all ages may be organ and tissue donors. Organ and tissue donation is the ultimate humanitarian act of charity.

The commonly transplanted organs are kidneys, heart, liver, lungs and pancreas
(currently no pancreas transplant has been done in Malaysia) while the transplantable tissues are cornea (eyes), arteries or veins, intestines, tendons, ligaments ,bones, skin and heart valves.

There are two sources of organ donation, which are from the living donors or from cadaveric donors. Most living donors were closely related to the
recipient, usually family members. Such close relatives were likely to have
close tissue match to the recipient, resulting in excellent outcomes. It is now possible to achieve similar outcomes using living
donors who are unrelated to the recipient, but only emotionally related such as
spouses are sometimes found to have a compatible blood group and tissue
match to the potential recipient, with the advent of improved immunosuppressive medications (anti-rejection medications).

Other than that, organs from cadaveric donors are allocated to the best tissue matched patients on the transplant waiting list. Potential cadaveric donors with a history of cancer or transmissible viruses such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV are not considered for organ donation. There are 2 sources of cadaveric donors, which are the heart-beating donors and the non heart-beating donors.

The heart-beating donors have suffered severe trauma to the brain. These patients must be ventilated in an intensive care unit and medically certified as 'brain stem" dead (meaning that all functions of the brain have ceased), in order to be considered as organ donors. In other words, life cannot be sustained. Heart beat and lung function are artificially maintained by a respirator. Heart, kidney and liver transplants are only possible from heart beating donors. For non heart-beating donors, tissue such as cornea (eye), skin and heart valves are donated. These tissues can only be procured after cardiac death.

However, there are more advantages of receiving organs or tissues from living donors. Firstly, it reduces time dependent on dialysis, particularly important for diabetics and young children. It also allows for specific planning of operation(the best time for donor and recipient).Moreover, the recipient requires less immunosuppressive drugs, therefore having fewer side effects. Lastly, it is more likely to be successful if the donor is related to the recipient.

hai..

Salam and hello to everyone…..!!!!

Today I want to share with all of you some tips to study. Maybe most of you have your own study style and maybe this is your secret how you success in your study. As we know, the dentistry course needs us to study more than our expectation. We need to study like a medical doctor although we just see teeth in our future occupation. So we need a good study technique in order to pass the entire exam with flying colors.

Try to make your study table as a conducive place to study. Get away all the mess that will make become uncomfortable. Make your table tidy and just put the book that you want to study. Put other heavy and thick book at your rack. When your study table is not in a good condition, you can focus on what you are studies, unless you are a messy person.

Many of us like to listening a radio while studying. I don’t care you are listening fly.fm. hot.fm ,era.fm or your own mp3… as long as you are listening a music. I have read in some book that told us about the badness to listening music while studying. He said that our brain can not focus and accept that entire thing we are read effectively. But we can listen a music that has no voice of singer,I mean here, only a tone of music equipment. It will relax your mind. For Muslim, it is better to listening the Al Quran while you are studying. It will help you to memorize better.

While you are studying, try to take more attention with the parts which are not understood. Read with your own first and then try to discuss with your friend. This is important to make sure that you are not misunderstood with what you have reads before. Jot some key words and important point and this will not make you miss that thing when you revise it again.

Don’t forget to take some rest while you are studying. Take a rest about 5 to 10 minutes to relax your mind. You can take a short nap or make some activity that will refresh your mind. Our brain also need to rest. I want to give some advice to all of you….”don’t sleep while your ear are listening a radio”. Your body is rest, but your brain needs to work to interpret what you are listen.

You need to choose the best time to study. The best time to study is at the morning after you wake up from the sleep. Your brain is much active and you can digest what you have read easily. Don’t stay at night because we need enough sleep. Try to sleep early and also wake up early at the morning. But, this is depends on person, some like to study at night, some like to study at day. No matter what time, as long as you can study properly.

Last but not least, don’t easily give up while studying because we need to taste the bitter first, then you will taste how sweet it later. Nothing is easy in this world, we need to compete to get the best..so, wake up my friend. Are you still dreaming????

hellloooo....

Salam and hello to everyone…

I don’t know to write about what in our blog. This is bcoz it is a long time I didn’t open our blog..hehe its may about a month..i just want to share with all of you about our national issue which is the problem that are very common in every student nowadays.
The problem is they like to play truant..in easy words, they don’t want to go to school anymore.

If we look back to our old generation, only a few of people can go to school which their family able to send them to the school. Unfortunately, our millennium generation are prefer to stay at home or go to everywhere than go to the school. They don’t like to go to school anymore although their parents had paid a lots of money to send them to school..
How could this happen? Everybody knows that education is important in order to get a bright future. There are some reasons why nowadays many students like to play truant.

One of the reasons is most of them have not interest to study anymore. They think study is useless and they can replace their time to study with other activity which is more exciting like surfing internet and playing games. Maybe their parents have enough money and they think it is adequate to support them until they become old. If they have no more interest to study, how could they accept all the things that teacher teach them at school? Thye will not pay attention during the class. Teacher need play an important role to make them more interest to study. They should make the academic session will become more exciting and more student will pay more attention.

Besides that, their parents also don’t take care about their children. Most of them are busy with their work and don’t have enough time to discuss any problems with their children.
Most of the student which is still growing and not matured anymore needs full attention of their parents. They need a lot of love and take care. If their parents are busy to work and have no time to spend with their children, their children will become out of hand.
Therefore, parents need to become more responsible in train their children.

Moreover, most of the student like to play truant because the education system is quite burden to them. Many things need to study in short time. This will cause them become stress and give up to study. Our ministry of education need to investigate about the education system and improve it to make sure it is suitable to the level of each student.

The last reasons which I can include here is the influence of friends. Besides teacher and parents, fried also play an important role in character the student attitude. If they find good friends, the percentage of the student to become a good student is also high. They will like to go to school to be friend with other. Besides that, they are some bully cases in school and this will cause student afraid to attend the class. The bully case is very familiar with the junior and senior.

Before I finish, I hope my entire friend didn’t play truant. We as the university students is matured enough to think which is good and which is bad. Just attend the class and we will get the benefits for aou whole life..~aisyah~(“,)…

drug addiction

Hai everybody, and first of all for the Muslim I want to wish Happy Raya Day and I hope all of you have enjoy your Raya break. As my tradition need I to visit my relatives during Hari Raya, the last 3 days I was visit my hometown and I heard many problems of drug addiction especially in Felda areas like my hometown. Here I want to share my opinion about this problem.
Drug abuse is becoming a serious problem among students in Malaysia. The number of students who take drugs has increased tremendously over the last few years.
How can we recognize drug addict? There are many symptoms of drug addiction. The drug addict normally loses weight and has red, watery eyes and a running nose. Sometimes you can see scratches and marks on his arm. He will also feel very tired most of the time.
There are many effects of drug addiction. The addict usually gets sick because he has no apatite and doesn’t eat enough. He may also have difficulty remembering things, or even concentrating on anything as he cannot think clearly. Continued drug addiction can even caused death. Many young people have died because of drug abuse.
Some people feel that stress causes students to take drugs. They can’t cope with the pressure of school work so they take drugs. Many parents too expect excellent examination results from their children and this causes more stress. The students are also very easily influenced by their friends. They listen to their friends and do what their friends do. Many students have become addicts because they follow their friends. Parents are also to blame for this problem. They are too busy at work or lead active social lives. Thus they don’t spend enough time with their children and so the children feel neglected and unwanted.
Schools do warn the students about the dangers of dangers of drug abuse. However, the mass-media and parents should also do their part to control the spread of drug abuse.-yana-
