Authors: Munib Abdul
Published: July 2018

Islam is a religion serves as the rahmatal lil alamin,regulates the relation between khaliq and creatures. Islam comes as a regulator of relationships among human beings, such as buy and sells law, marriage, inheritance, etc., the goal is to get peace of people live, justice and love between eachother. The fundamental pinciple statement can be used as a guide of thought and action, arise principles from the results of research and action, the principle is permanent, general and every science has a principle that reflects the "essence" of the truth of the field of science. Principle is basic but it is not an absolute, the application means principles must take into specificaccount and changing circumstances. While muamalah means practice each other. In terms of muamalah divided in the narrow sense, is the rules of Allah swt that regulates human relationships with humans in an attempt to get the tools of his physical needs in a good way, in the broad sense muamalah is God Almighty that must be followed and obeyed in life of society to safeguard human interest in its affairs matters in  wordsocial intercourse.
Effective modeling strategy for drop test analysis of composite curved beam
Authors: Pham DC
Published: July 2018

Recent studies on the drop test analysis of composite structures mainly focus on the unidirectional or quasi-isotropic composite plates. Impact studies on the three-dimensional curved structures with woven fabric composite materials have received much less attention in the literature. This paper presents detailed experimental and computational investigations of the impact behavior of woven fabric Eglass E722-8HS composite curved beam. Experimental drop tests of the curved beam are performed from the drop test tower to obtain the impact forces and deformation at various locations of the beam. Quantitatively experimental observation reveals a discrepancy in the time-dependent reaction forces obtained between two legs of the beam and in the strains measured at correspondingly symmetric positions. To correctly rationalize the mechanical behavior as observed in the experiment, an effective drop test modeling strategy is proposed and implemented by Python script allowing the nonlinear time-dependent response of each leg of the beam to be effectively computed. The predicted results by the drop test model are compared to the experimental data and reasonably good correlations between experimental and numerical results are achieved.

Published: July 2018

Depressive symptomatology is manifested in greater first-person singular pronoun use (i.e., I-talk), but when and for whom this effect is most apparent, and the extent to which it is specific to depression or part of a broader association between negative emotionality and I-talk, remains unclear. Using pooled data from N = 4,754 participants from 6 labs across 2 countries, we examined, in a preregistered analysis, how the depression–I-talk effect varied by (a) first-person singular pronoun type (i.e., subjective, objective, and possessive), (b) the communication context in which language was generated (i.e., personal, momentary thought, identity-related, and impersonal), and (c) gender. Overall, there was a small but reliable positive correlation between depression and I-talk (r = .10, 95% CI [.07, .13]). The effect was present for all first-person singular pronouns except the possessive type, in all communication contexts except the impersonal one, and for both females and males with little evidence of gender differences. Importantly, a similar pattern of results emerged for negative emotionality. Further, the depression–I-talk effect was substantially reduced when controlled for negative emotionality but this was not the case when the negative emotionality–I-talk effect was controlled for depression. These results suggest that the robust empirical link between depression and I-talk largely reflects a broader association between negative emotionality and I-talk. Self-referential language using first-person singular pronouns may therefore be better construed as a linguistic marker of general distress proneness or negative emotionality rather than as a specific marker of depression.

Published: July 2018

We examined event-contingent recording (ECR) of daily interpersonal interactions in a diagnostically diverse sample of 101 psychiatric outpatients who were involved in a romantic relationship. We tested whether the unique effect of borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms on affective responses (i.e., hostility, sadness, guilt, fear, positive affect) to perceptions of rejection or acceptance differed with one’s romantic partner compared to non-romantic partners. BPD symptoms were associated with more frequent perceptions of rejection and less frequent perceptions of acceptance across the study. For all participants, perceptions of rejecting behavior were associated with higher within-person negative affect and lower within-person positive affect. As predicted, in interactions with romantic partners only, those with high BPD symptoms reported heightened hostility and, to a lesser extent, attenuated sadness in response to perceptions of rejection. BPD symptoms did not moderate associations between perceptions of rejection and guilt, fear, or positive affect across romantic and non-romantic partners. For all participants, perceived acceptance was associated with lower within-person negative affect and high within-person positive affect. However, BPD symptoms were associated with attenuated positive affect in response to perceptions of accepting behavior in interactions with romantic partners only. BPD symptoms did not moderate associations between perceptions of acceptance and any of the negative affects across romantic and non-romantic partners. This study highlights the specificity of affective responses characteristic of BPD when comparisons are made to patients with other personality and psychiatric disorders. Implications for romantic relationship dysfunction are discussed.

Authors: O'Driscoll Ciarán , bhansali aditi , Bell Vaughan , Shaikh Madiha
Published: July 2018

Objective: Mindfulness involves a range of cognitive and affective processes. Most research has investigated the 'intended' and beneficial processes. The cognitive-emotional regulatory strategies (CERS) and difficulties encountered during mindfulness practice were investigated in order to establish a questionnaire to evaluate concomitant processes that individuals may engage in during mindfulness. Method: Participants (n=402) completed a survey to measure the frequency of CERS use and difficulties experienced during mindfulness. Items and factor structure were evaluated using multidimensional item response theory. Reliability and validity indices were also investigated. Differences in mindfulness practice across socio-demographic groups, levels of experience were also reported. Results: A 3 factor, 22 item mindfulness strategies and difficulties questionnaire (MSDQ) appears to be reliable and valid in assessing CERS and difficulties experienced during mindfulness practice. The factors were predictive of wellbeing and difficulties of mindfulness success. Level of experience and frequency of practice influenced strategy use and difficulties experienced. Discussion: The study validated the measurement of associated CERS and difficulties in a diverse sample of individuals who practice mindfulness. Results highlighted associated processes which individuals engage in during mindfulness while also emphasizing the context dependence of CERS use.

With whom do firms form ties? A meta-analysis on the influence of embeddedness and proximity on inter-organizational tie formation
Authors: van Zelst Marino , Mannak Remco , Oerlemans Leon
Published: July 2018

We meta-analyze the influence of various forms of embeddedness and proximity on interorganizational tie formation with a dataset that encompasses 256,529 ties from 73 studies. First, we uncover the unparalleled importance of relational embeddedness, while the influence of structural and positional embeddedness turns out to be highly dependent on the context. Second, we show that various forms of proximity positively influence tie formation and have unique explanatory power in addition to the embeddedness dimensions. Last, we explore to what extent these effects are contingent on the type of tie, resource munificence, status orientation, level of individuality, and intellectual property regimes. Our study introduces a preliminary contingency theory of interorganizational tie formation and provides directions for future research.
Why do I have to drive now? Post Hoc Explanations of Take-Over Requests
Authors: Körber Moritz , Prasch Lorenz , Bengler Klaus
Published: July 2018

Objective: It was investigated whether providing an explanation for a take-over request in automated driving influences trust in automation and acceptance.Background: Take-over requests will be recurring events in conditionally automated driving which could undermine trust as well as acceptance and, therefore, the successful introduction of automated vehicles.Method: Forty participants were equally assigned to either an experimental group provided with an explanation of the reason for a take-over request or a control group without explanations. In a simulator drive, both groups experienced three take-over scenarios that varied in the obviousness of their causation. Participants rated their acceptance before and after the drive and rated their trust before and after each take-over situation. Results: All participants rated acceptance on the same high level before and after the drive, independent of the condition. Control group’s trust ratings remained unchanged by take-over requests in all situations, but the experimental group showed decreased trust after experiencing a take-over caused by roadworks. Participants provided with explanation felt stronger that they had understood the system and the reasons for the take-overs.Conclusion: A take-over request did not lower trust or acceptance. Providing an explanation for a take-over request had no impact on trust or acceptance, but increased the perceived understanding of the system.Application: The results provide insights into users’ perception of automated vehicles, take-over situations and a fundament for future interface design for automated vehicles.

RECONSTRUCTION OF INTEGRATIVE ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE PROFETICAL EDUCATION FRAMEWORK
Authors: Umam Muhamad Khoirul
Published: July 2018

Scientific disruptions today, or appearing on the surface in a wide variety of scientific integration projects known as Islamization of science, integralization of science, or interconnections create complex problems with the many ideas of integrative education through transformative prophetic education. Various phenomena of the problem then there are two things that become important points that we can make the lens to see the phenomenon of illness of education today. Firstly, Education has no soul in question in education here about re-presenting the mission of religious prophetic values to be presented to the public sphere. Secondly, the existence of human model as role model (uswatun hasanah). In education, especially character education that has become an agreement decision making education of Indonesia must display the human figure in the role model or model that must be imitated as according to the output of character education itself. But it aims to describe the implementation of integration of Islamic education in Islamic educational institutions from the perspective of integration between educational institutions, family and community and prophetic-based with transformative values. This research yields One offer of thinking about alternative education which is expected to reduce deadlock in developing integrative education with standard and figure of really strong and irrefutable model that is Prophet Muhammad Saw and return to activity, feeling, thinking in interpreting Al- Quran and Sunnah.

The complex neurobiology of resilient functioning after child maltreatment
Authors: Ioannidis Konstantinos , Askelund Adrian Dahl , Kievit Rogier , Van Harmelen Anne-Laura
Published: July 2018

Childhood Maltreatment has been associated with significant impairment of social, emotional and behavioural functioning in later life. Nevertheless, some individuals who have experienced childhood maltreatment function better than expected given their circumstances. Here, we provide an integrated understanding of the complex, interrelated mechanisms that facilitate such resilient functioning after childhood maltreatment. We aim to show that resilient functioning is not facilitated by any single ‘resilience biomarker’. Rather, resilient functioning after childhood maltreatment is a product of complex processes and influences across multiple levels, ranging from ‘bottom-up’ poly-genetic influences, to ‘top-down’ supportive social influences. We highlight the complex nature of resilience and suggest how future studies could embrace a complexity theory approach and investigate multiple levels of biological organization and their temporal dynamics in a longitudinal or prospective manner. This would involve using methods and tools that allow the characterization of resilience trajectories, attractor states and multi-dimensional, multi-level assessment of functioning. Such an approach necessitates large, longitudinal studies on the neurobiological mechanisms of resilient functioning after CM which cut across and integrate multiple levels of explanation (i.e. genetics, endocrine and immune systems, brain structure and function, cognition and environmental factors) and their temporal inter-connections. As such, a turn towards complexity is likely to foster collaboration and integration across fields, and is a promising avenue towards guiding future studies aimed to promote resilience in those who have experienced CM.

Storytelling as adaptive collective sensemaking
Authors: Bietti Lucas M , Tilston Ottilie , Bangerter Adrian
Published: July 2018

Storytelling represents a key element in the creation and propagation of culture. Three main accounts of the adaptive function of storytelling include (1) manipulating the behavior of the audience to enhance the fitness of the narrator, (2) transmitting survival-relevant information while avoiding the costs involved in the first-hand acquisition of that information, and (3) maintaining social bonds or group-level cooperation. We assess the substantial evidence collected in experimental and ethnographic studies for each account. These accounts do not always appeal to the specific features of storytelling above and beyond language use in general. We propose that the specific adaptive value of storytelling lies in making sense of non-routine, uncertain or novel situations, thereby enabling the collaborative development of previously acquired skills and knowledge, but also promoting social cohesion by strengthening intra-group identity and clarifying intergroup relations.

Discussing modern updated criteria for judging autoimmune disease
Authors: Hu Wan-Chung
Published: July 2018

Witebsky’s criteria for autoimmune diseases were used for decades since 1957. His postulates are: 1. Direct demonstration of free circulating antibodies active at body temperature 2. Recognition of the specific antigen 3. Production of antibodies against same antigen in experimental animals 4. Experimental animal demonstrates same tissue changes in human. More updated and applicable criteria for autoimmune disorders are required due to recent advance in molecular immunology. Here, I propose new criteria. Possible criteria is HLA association. Probable criteria is HLA association plus TH subtype restriction without pathogen. Definite criteria is experimentally reproducible by autoantibody or self reactive T cell transfer. Optional criteria is Clinical or pathology clues. This new criteria is more practical. It should help to explore the actual disease pathophysiology and lead to better diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Published: July 2018

Solid organic fertilizing for organically sweet corn production should be combined with foliar application to improve fertilizing effectiveness. Each sweet corn variety had different response to particular liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). This experiment aimed to determine growth and yields of three sweet corn varieties to local-based LOF was conducted at CAPS research station (950m above sea level) from March to June 2015, arranged in a factorial completely randomized block design with three replicates. The first factor was three sweet corn varieties, i.e. Talenta, Jambore and Asian Honey, and the second factor was five LOF concentrations,i.e. 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm, respectively. Results indicated that sweet corn varieties significantly affected plant height, plant leaf area, root fresh-weight,weight of husked ears, weight of unhusked ears, but did not affect diameterof unhusked ear and shoot fresh weight. LOF concentrations did not affect all observed parameters. So did the interaction between varieties and LOF concentrations, except on shoot fresh-weight. Asian Honey variety had the highest plant height, plant leaf area, roots fresh-weight, weight of husked ears, and weight of unhusked ears. There were no different in plant diameter and shoot fresh weight among the tested varieties. Further research should be focused on the use of higher concentration of local-based LOF to provide effective complementary organic fertilizing in sweet corn production.
Olfactory Cues from Romantic Partners and Strangers Moderate Stress Responses
Authors: Hofer Marlise , Collins Hanne K. , Chen Frances , Whillans Ashley
Published: July 2018

The scent of another person can activate memories, trigger emotions, and spark romantic attraction; however, almost nothing is known about whether and how human scents influence responses to stress. In the current study, ninety-six participants were randomly assigned to smell one of three scents (their romantic partner’s, a stranger’s, or a clean scent) and were exposed to an acute stressor (Trier Social Stress Test). Perceived stress was lowest for participants who were exposed to their partner’s shirt. Cortisol levels were highest for participants who were exposed to a stranger’s shirt. Mediation analyses indicated that the initial elevated perceived stress experienced by people exposed to a stranger’s scent (versus their partner’s scent) explained differences in the cortisol responses between the two groups. The current work speaks to the critical role of human olfactory cues in social communication and reveals that the scent of other people impacts both psychological and physiological reactions to stress.

The objective of this research was to assess the total metal content and bioavailability ofthese elements in the sediment of the Duck‘ lagoon (Laguna Los Patos), Sucre state, Venezuela.By using extractions with HNO3: HClO4: HCl in 3:1:1 ratio to total metals and acetic acid to 10%for the bioavailable fraction, was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry with air acetyleneflame, that total metals show at their peak concentrations (μg/g), a descending order: Fe (1304.13) > Mn (177.14) > Zn (31.74) > Pb (12.62) > Cu (10.27 )> Cr ( 5.92) > Cd (0.56), associatedwith the particles of the kind of mud. The lagoons presents a deterioration with focus oflead pollution in the central part and copper, nickel and lead towards the far south, where asewage treatment plant is located. Iron, manganese, copper, zinc and nickel are in the bioavailablefraction with values between 2.01-99.62%; 12.00-52.82%; 4.53- 18.88%; 26.52-45.91% y2.93-91.59% respectively, of the total of each present metal in the sediment. The heterogeneityobserved in the distribution of residual and bioavailable fractions, reflects a wide variability ofthe sedimentary matrix. Moreover, the presence of these five metals in the bioavailable fractionshows a progressive risk for biota of the lagoon, due to the ability of these elements to bioaccumulatein organisms, suggesting a magnification of these impacts in the future, under the weakflow of the waters of this ecosystem.
Get a Sample for a Discount: Sampling-Based XML Data Pricing
Authors: Tang Ruiming , Amarilli Antoine , Senellart Pierre , Bressan Stéphane
Published: July 2018

While price and data quality should define the major trade-off for consumers in data markets, prices are usually prescribed by vendorsand data quality is not negotiable. In this paper we study a modelwhere data quality can be traded for a discount. We focus on the case ofXML documents and consider completeness as the quality dimension. Inour setting, the data provider offers an XML document, and sets boththe price of the document and a weight to each node of the document,depending on its potential worth. The data consumer proposes a price.If the proposed price is lower than that of the entire document, thenthe data consumer receives a sample, i.e., a random rooted subtree ofthe document whose selection depends on the discounted price and theweight of nodes. By requesting several samples, the data consumer caniteratively explore the data in the document. We show that the uniformrandom sampling of a rooted subtree with prescribed weight isunfortunately intractable. However, we are able to identify several practical casesthat are tractable. The first case is uniform random sampling of a rootedsubtree with prescribed size; the second case restricts to binary weights.For both these practical cases we present polynomial-time algorithmsand explain how they can be integrated into an iterative exploratorysampling approach.
Mathematical Analysis A Continuous Vaccination Strategy Effect against to spread of Measles by Using the Epidemic SVIR Models
Authors: Marentek Tonaas Kabul Wangkok Yohanis
Published: July 2018

Vaccination is one way to minimize the spread of disease. To complete a vaccination, it is usually done several times and there should be a fixed time interval. Considering vaccination in the basic SIR model, SVIR model assumes that individuals are vaccinated do not get immediate immunity means that individuals who are vaccinated still allow infected. So according to the process of vaccination on SVIR model, there are two strategies which continuous vaccination strategy (CVS) and disconnected vaccination strategy (PVS). In this study only addressed continuous vaccination strategy in epidemic model SVIR. Results from the study indicate that the dynamics of the CVS system is fully dependent on the basic reproductive number. If the basic reproductive number is less than one then the fixed point asymptotically stable disease-free will which means that eventually the disease will disappear from the population. Conversely, if more than one fixed point is asymptotically stable endemic would mean that the disease will still exist in the population. Mathematical results show that vaccination helps to minimize the spread of disease by reducing the basic reproductive number. But there is a necessary condition for the disease can be eradicated. If the time for the vaccine recipients to obtain immunity or the possibility of vaccine recipients infected neglected, the condition of the disease will disappear and the disease will always be eradicated. This can lead to over-evaluating the effect of vaccination.
Preservice teacher mobile investigation and interpretation of everyday mathematics across settings
Authors: Kalir Jeremiah (Remi)
Published: July 2018

This study reports upon design-based research that enacted mobile mathematics learning for preservice teachers across classroom, community, and online settings. The integration of mobile learning within mathematics teacher education is understudied, and it is necessary to better understand mobile technology affordances when locating disciplinary inquiry across settings. A curriculum module was designed to support preservice teachers’ participation in two mathematics education and mobile learning repertoires: a) mobile investigation of disciplinary concepts situated in community locations and circumstances, and b) mobile interpretation of connections between school and everyday mathematics. This exploratory case study analyzes three module iterations and identifies the qualities of preservice teachers’ cross-setting disciplinary connections. Reported mobile learning outcomes include connections preservice teachers produced among mathematics concepts, mathematical actions, and material objects, and also connections produced between school mathematics and everyday circumstances. Findings indicate preservice teachers established disciplinary connections when participating in commercial and civic activities relevant to their daily lives. Yet other mathematics concepts and practices were either seldom investigated, only vaguely described, or not representative of K-12 students’ interests and cultures. Design recommendations and implications are suggested for subsequent attempts at situating preservice teacher learning outside of the mathematics teacher education classroom and across multiple settings through mobile learning.
Interpretation Gone Wrong

Just because data can be made more accessible to broader audiences does not mean that those people are equipped to interpret what they see. Limited topical knowledge, statistical skills, and contextual awareness can prompt people to read inferences into, be afraid of, and otherwise misinterpret the data they are given. As more data is made more available, what other structures and procedures need to be in place to help people interpret what's available?

Along with dense and accurate 3D geometric data, laser scanners also collect return intensity information. Inclusion of this spectral information has potential to improve the working of the above mentioned processes. However, these intensity values need to be normalized, prior to their use, as they are subject to a large number of errors. This paper presents a technique to carry out normalization of intensity values using the range and incidence angle corrections. The developed approach has been tested on a large number of data and results are found satisfactory.

Translatability Problem of Geodesics on Algorithmic Manifolds
Authors: Yabu Takuya
Published: July 2018

In the previous paper, I define algorithmic manifolds simulating deterministic Turing machines and by determining the start point and end point of the algorithm in a P problem on the algorithmic manifold, there is the optimal algorithm as the length minimizing geodesic between the start point and the end point, and the length minimizing geodesic can be derived by determining the start point and the end point also in a NP problem.　In this paper, I show that the possibility of translating algorithms from geodesics on algorithmic manifolds is equivalent to the halting problem of Turing machine. I will also discuss the problems of translating from geodesics using existing algorithms.
Optimality of Social Choice Systems: Complexity, Wisdom, and Wellbeing Centrality
Authors: Boik John C.
Published: July 2018

Since circa 1900, civilization has experienced radical changes including changes in the size and distribution of populations, the power of technologies, the magnitude of energy and materials use, and the depth of scientific knowledge. With these have come increasingly complex challenges and elevated risks, and thus a heightened need for wise decision making. Accordingly, the need has grown for efficient and functional decision-making systems, also called social choice systems. I use these terms to refer to economic, governance, and legal systems. The seeming inability of societies, both individually and collectively, to effectively mitigate excessive climate change, poverty, income inequality, pollution, habitat loss, and other major problems suggests that underlying social choice systems are sub-optimal relative to need. I raise two overarching questions: (1) What characteristics would more optimal social choice systems exhibit? (2) How could research and development of more optimal systems best proceed? The answers I explore in this paper are based on the premise that the relative optimality of a social choice system is a measure of its relative capacity to help communities solve problems and organize activities such that collective wellbeing is elevated. The characteristics of complex adaptive systems, successful problem-solving systems found in nature, are explored in order to suggest useful design motifs and monitoring indicators. I emphasize the need for research and development of new social choice system designs, and argue that field testing of these can best occur at the local (e.g., community, city, or county) level. Efforts in this direction by the science and technology sectors and academic community are still nascent. The work described here suggests a new multidisciplinary program that I term wellbeing centrality: the design, testing, promotion, and operation of social choice systems that place wellbeing measurement, evaluation, forecasting, and deliberation at the center of decision-making activities.

Bicycles are an environmentally friendly device of transportation. Today many big cities are facilitating bicycle users with a special bicycle lane. Yogyakarta is a place of cultural acculturation. One of the cultures presented is the culture of walking and cycling for the society. One of the famous location of cycling place in Yogyakarta is in Malioboro area. Aside from being the Central Bussines District (CBD) of Yogyakarta, Malioboro area is also an iconic area for travelers to enjoy the atmosphere in it. This research aims to determine Comfort Level Of Bicycle Lane in Malioboro and presents it into a spatial data that can be easily understood. The comfort level of cyclists can be extracted from remote sensing data and field survey data. The level of comfort is extracted into parameters that affect the comfort level of cyclists, especially in the area Malioboro Yogyakarta. The parameters used in this study resulted from high-resolution remote sensing data extraction are shade vegetation, side obstacles, bike lane mark, path position, traffic density, and relief. The results show that there are 8 bike paths with very comfortable class, 16 bicycle lanes with comfortable class, 7 lines with medium grade, 38 bike lines with uncomfortable class and 20 bike lanes with very uncomfortable class
A new approach for Internet advertisements
Authors: Palacios Angel
Published: July 2018

Traditional video ads in TV are not well suited for Internet sites. If the user feels a site is forcing him/her to watch long video ads, will stop visiting that site. Therefore, the current approach is to allow the user to skip the ad after a few seconds, despite this means that the ads will have little impact. This paper presents a new approach that engages the user with the brand, while at the same time keeping the user in the website. The approach works by asking the user a question relating to the ad, and if the user responds correctly, the ad is immediately removed. The benefit for the user is that (s)he can skip the ad immediately. This approach presents benefits both for users and advertisers. The benefit for the advertiser is that by putting mental effort on the brand, the brand has more impact on the user.

Published: July 2018

Dalam dunia pertanian hasil panen yang melimpah sangat diinginkan bagi para pembudidaya, oleh sebab itu berbagai cara budidaya yang baik dan dapat menghasilkan hasil yang baik terus diterapkan. Baik tanaman sayuran, tanaman pangan dan tanaman perkebunan.Teknik Budidaya Sawi Hijau meliputi beberapa perlakuan diantaranya Pembenihan, Pengolahan Tanah, Penyemaian, Penanaman, Transplanting, Penyiraman, Pengendalian Hama dan Penyakit, Pemupukan dan panen. Budidaya Tanaman Sawi tidak jauh beda dengan budidaya tanaman sayuran lainya. Hanya yang perlu diperhatikan pada tanaman sawi pada semua proses pada pengendalian Hama dan penyakit karena begitu tanaman sawi terserang hama dan penyakit maka tanaman sawi akan rusak dan tidak bisa dikonsumsi atau dijual dipasaran.
