Skala Tahi Bristol - Bristol Stool Chart

Perbualan berkenaan tahi ini mungkin dianggap perkara yang tak senonoh, busuk, dan menjijikkan. Tetapi dalam waktu yang sama, kita semua menjalani rutin membuang air besar hampir setiap hari. Malah ada yang buang air besar hampir 2-3kali sehari. Itulah hakikatnya, semua orang malu membicarakan soal tahi. Tapi tahukah anda, tahi itu mencerminkan sebagus mana diet yang anda semua praktikkan?
Berdasarkan “Bristol Stool Chart”, “Meyers Scale” atau dalam bahasa melayunya “Skala Tahi Bristol”. Tahi boleh dikelaskan kepada 7 jenis. Skala ini telah dinamakan “Skala Tahi Bristol” kerana skala ini telah diperkenalkan oleh Lewis S.J. dan Heaton K.W di University of Bristol, UK.
Berikut adalah kelas-kelas tahi yang dimaksudkan:




  • Jenis 1: Berbentuk biji-biji, agak keras seperti ketulan batu.
    • Jenis 2: Berbentuk seperti sosej, tetapi berketak-ketak.
    • Jenis 3: Juga berbentuk seperti sosej, tetapi macam merekah sedikit.
    • Jenis 4: Berbentuk seperti ular, agak licin, halus dan lembut. Just Nice.
    • Jenis 5: Bergumpal-gumpal, lembut dengan potongan hujungnya jelas.
    • Jenis 6: Yang ni dia macam cirit sikit, likat, gabungan cecair dan pepejal.
    • Jenis 7: Sangat cair, tiada pepejal. 



    Tahi  jenis 1 dan 2
    Sekiranya anda mempunyai tahi seperti ini, itu maksudnya anda sedang mengalami sembelit. Kalau dapat tahi sebegini, memang susah sedikit nak ‘meneran’ sebab tahi itu dah menjedi keras. Selalunya situasi ni terjadi kalau seseorang tu malas untuk berak setiap hari. Semakin lama tahi berada dalam usus besar, semakin banyak air daripadanya yang akan diserap, maka semakin keraslah ia. Jadi, lepas ni jangan malas untuk buang air besar lagi ye.

    Tahi jenis 3 dan 4
    Seperti juga berat badan, tahi juga ada kategori yang ideal  iaitu normal, dan kategori ideal untuk tahi ini jatuh pada jenis yang ke-3 dan ke-4. Selalunya tahi sebegini dihasilkan kalau seseorang itu rajin ke tandas setiap hari.

    Tahi jenis 5,6 dan 7
    Bagaimana pula dengan jenis 5 hingga 7? Kalau pernah mengalami yang ke-5, itu mungkin disebabkan angin atau gas yang terlalu banyak dalam usus, atau anda telah mengambil sesuatu yang boleh menyebabkan anda cirit birit seperti susu berlaktosa. Namun untuk kategori 6 hingga 7, anda kena berhati-hati sedikit kerana itu mungkin membawa maksud ‘diarrhea‘ iaitu masuk ke tandas dan cirit lebih daripada 3 kali sehari. Ingat, diarrhea yang berterusan boleh membawa maut!
    Diet juga sangat mempengaruhi rupa tahi yang dihasilkan. Jangan sesekali mengabaikan sayur dan buah-buahan. Itu merupakan sumber serat nombor satu yang harus diambil secara berterusan selagi kita masih bernafas. Dan jangan malas untuk buang air besar!

    New Malaysia Green Building in Coming


    The Malaysia government are working for new Malaysia Green Building Ratings System. The system will utilize the carbon emission as universal unit for the Green Criteria, however not all criteria can be convert to CO2 emission.

    The situation in Malaysia is currently like the Halal Certification, the are more and more Green Rating System developed locally, not only GBI. Even Penang Authorities also come with their own Green Rating System. This might be because there are so many complaint on GBI. The authorities not really happy, then JKR have developed their own pHJKR, the developer also not really happy, REHDA developed GreenRE (RE stand for real estate, Penang Authority develop Penang Green Office, CIDB developed GreenPASS. Now is time to have the national rating system.

    Perkuburan Islam di Cheras - Kedudukan Kubur Yang Senget Menjadi Tanda Tanya




    Kedudukan beberapa kubur di Cheras menjadi tanda tanya. Pelbagai persoalan yang muncul.
    Adakah kerana kekurangan tanah yang kosong atau ada sebab yang lain.

    Bertanya pada salah seorang pelawat kubur tersebut, namun beliau pun tidak mengetahui sebabnya.

    Ada sesiapa yang mengetahui sebabnya?

    Is Malaysia really represented the world's highest deforestation rate ? Amazing Info

    Malaysia has the world's highest deforestation rate, reveals Google forest map

    November 15, 2013


    Malaysia had the world's highest rate of forest loss between 2000 and 2012, according to a new global forest map developed in partnership with Google.

    Malaysia's total forest loss during the period amounted to 14.4 percent of its year 2000 forest cover. The loss translates to 47,278 square kilometers (18,244 square miles), an area larger than Denmark.

    Malaysia's forest loss was partly offset by a 25,978 sq km gain in vegetation cover resulting from natural recovery, reforestation, and establishment of industrial timber and oil palm plantations. During the period, Malaysia's oil palm estate grew by roughly 50 percent or 17,000 sq km.

    But tree plantations don't stack up well to natural forests into terms of biodiversity, carbon storage, or maintenance of ecosystem services, indicating that Malaysia suffered very extensive decline of its natural capital base. Most of Malaysia's forest loss occurred in its densest forests, those with tree cover exceeding 50 percent, which generally store the most carbon and are richest with wildlife, including endangered orangutans, pygmy elephants, Sumatran rhinos, and clouded leopards.




    After decades of unsustainable logging, which depleted timber stocks and undermined the viability of traditional forestry management, Malaysia's forests are increasingly being converted for industrial oil palm plantations. The palm oil industry is a powerful political force in the country.

Middle column: the fate of land following forest conversion (in the lower left corner is the annual rate of deforestation). Right column: net land use change over each five year period.

    Dan Zarin, program director of the Climate and Land Use Alliance, an association of philanthropic foundations, says trading natural forests for planted forests represents a net loss for the planet.

    “You can't ‘net out’ deforestation by planting trees," said Zarin, "because newly planted forests are far less valuable for carbon, biodiversity and forest-dependent people than standing native forests.”

    Malaysia's rate of forest loss during the period was nearly 50 percent higher than the next runner up, Paraguay (9.6 percent). Its area of forest loss ranked ninth after Russia, Brazil, the United States, Canada, Indonesia, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Australia. Malaysia's net forest loss — 21,480 sq km — ranked 12th globally.

    The data was released in a breakthrough map developed by a team of researchers from the University of Maryland, Google Inc, NASA, USGS, South Dakota State University, the Woods Hole Research Center, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Foundation. The map, which is detailed in today's issue of the journal Science, is based on 650,000 images captured by NASA Landsat cameras at 30 meter resolution.

    According to the project's led developer, Matthew Hansen of the University of Maryland, the map represents a significant advancement toward understanding ecological changes that accompany changes in forest cover.

    “This is the first map of forest change that is globally consistent and locally relevant,” said Hansen. “Losses or gains in forest cover shape many important aspects of an ecosystem including, climate regulation, carbon storage, biodiversity and water supplies, but until now there has not been a way to get detailed, accurate, satellite-based and readily available data on forest cover change from local to global scales.”



    Forest loss in Peninsular Malaysia. Some of Malaysia's forest loss included replanting of existing plantations — the current version of the map does not distinguish between natural forest cover and plantations.


    Hansen adds the tool could be used to develop and implement policies to reduce deforestation.

    “Brazil used Landsat data to document its deforestation trends, then used this information in its policy formulation and implementation,” said Hansen. “Now, with our global mapping of forest changes every nation has access to this kind of information, for their own country and the rest of the world.”

    Whether Malaysia decides to use the information for that purpose remains to be seen.
