Hukum Meriwayatkan dan Mengamalkan Hadis Daif untuk Fadhail al-A'mal
Authors: Yusram Muhammad
Published: October 2019

This study explains the matter of “The Ruling and Acting on Weak Hadits of Fadhail al A’mal”. Hadits is undeniable to be one source of the Islamic Syari’ah law and legality, but not all is attributed as the sayingss of the Prophet Mohamed (PBUH). The scholars of Hadits had agreed on the acceptance of the sound (Sahih) Hadits and good (Hasan) Hadits as the guidance in rulings and law determination. However, there are differences among them in terms of weak (Da’if) hadits, primarily that concerns with Fadhail A’maal. The scholars have 3 different perspectives on it; some scholars prohibit, some permit and the rests of them permit it with certain strict conditions. The first argument is adopted by most of the scholars of Hadits and it appears as the strongest arguments with regard to its  accuracy so as to prevent ones from falsehood in the name of The Prophet Mohamed (PBUH). Moreover, the conditions of its permission referred by a group of scholars seems difficult to implement. The existence of Sound (Sahih) Hadits and Hasan (Good) Hadits also suffices the Moslem needs as guidance in their various life aspects.

Furthermore, the results show that the Index of Syariah Financial Inclusion is negatively correlated with the poverty level. This conclusion suggests the promotion of Syariah Financial Inclusion to be a policy priority in Indonesia to achieve the central goals of inclusive growth, welfare and economic development.
Sejarah Lembaga Pendidikan Islam di Indonesia sebelum Kemerdekaan (Abad 7 dan 8 Masehi)
Authors: Iskandar
Published: October 2019

The history of Islam inscribed on the archipelago is actually inseparable from the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. To be precise, the development of Islamic education has an age that is almost the same as the history of Islamic travel in Indonesia. The history of Islamic education is as old as the entry of Islam into Indonesia. This is because the followers of Islam who were still relatively new at that time, will certainly learn and understand about the teachings of Islam. Even though in a simple sense, the learning process that time had happened. From here, Islamic education began to emerge. Where at frst they studied in homes, langgar/surau, mosques and later developed into boarding schools. The development of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century has implications for the spread of Islam to various parts of the world with several channels of the Islamization process in Indonesia, namely, trade, marriage, art, and education.

Entrée en vigueur de la loi interdisant les contrats zéro heure : quelle avancée pour les travailleurs précaires ?
Authors: Delahaie Noélie
Published: October 2019

En décembre 2018, le gouvernement irlandais a adopté une loi interdisant, sauf cas exceptionnels, le recours au contrat zéro heure. Entrée en vigueur en mars 2019, cette loi, qui répond aux revendications des syndicats, témoigne d’un engagement fort du gouvernement en faveur des salariés précaires. La victoire des syndicats ne pourrait être toutefois que symbolique puisque la loi concerne explicitement les salariés ( employees ) et non les travailleurs sous contrat sans garantie de travail. Le risque d’exclusion des plus précaires reste ainsi de mise.
Le lent processus d’intégration de la médecine chinoise en France
Authors: Parent Fanny
Published: October 2019

L’article questionne le rôle des acteurs étatiques et professionnels dans les processus de traductions et de transferts de pratiques et savoirs médicaux – ceux de la médecine chinoise traditionnelle – entre deux pays – la Chine et la France. À l’aide de la sociologie des groupes professionnels appliquée à la question des transferts internationaux, nous montrons que les possibilités d’importation, et les formes et modalités de celle-ci, sont déterminées en grande partie par les jeux d’acteurs du pays importateur. Si l’enquête empirique porte sur la France métropolitaine, nous avons suivi les démarches des professionnels et la manière dont ils mobilisent le transnational et l’international dans leurs luttes juridictionnelles locales.

Authors: Ganapathi Parameshwar , Abu-Shanab Emad Ahmed
Published: October 2019

The recent boom in online food ordering and delivery in Qatar has led to increased competition among service providers within the industry. Identifying the gap in research in the context of Qatar's online food industry, this study aims to determine the key success factors that lead to customer satisfaction and loyalty, as well as customers' satisfaction levels with their respective service providers. 263 surveys were randomly collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed to test the hypotheses of the research model and answer the research questions. By applying path analysis to assess the proposed model, this study confirms that while restaurant quality has no direct effect on customer satisfaction and loyalty, service provider quality does. Moreover, this study sheds light on the mediation role of customer satisfaction on the relationship between service provider quality and loyalty. Overall, the study provides valuable insights for the successful operation of online food ordering services in Qatar.

Software Aging Forecast Using Recurrent SOM with Local Model
Authors: Yan Yongquan
Published: October 2019

Studies of software aging problems are important since they are related to QoS. Previous studies have used many methods to guarantee QoS. In this article, a recurrent self-organizing map with multi-layerperceptron is proposed to forecast resource consumption in a web server which suffered from a software aging problem. First, a resource consumption series in a web server is split into p dimensional space vectors. Second, the split series is clustered into local sets by using a recurrent self-organizing map. Last, a local prediction method called multi-layerperceptron is used to predict on each local set. The results indicated that the recurrent self-organizing map with multi-layerperceptron generates a slightly better estimation than multi-layerperceptron and autoregressive integrated moving average in the resource consumption predictions of system and application level of web server.
Remuneração variável no tempo de mandato é a causa do oportunismo dos CEOs? Evidências do gerenciamento de resultados no Brasil
Authors: Dal Magro Cristian Baú , Dani Andreia Carpes , Klann Roberto Carlos
Published: October 2019

Esta pesquisa verificou a influência da remuneração variável na relação entre o tempo de mandato dos CEOs e as práticas de gerenciamento de resultados. A amostra compreendeu 183 empresas listadas na BM&FBovespa, num período de análise entre 2009 a 2015, totalizando 1.281 observações. Os resultados indicaram que o último ano de mandato dos CEOs é determinante para a prática de gerenciamento de resultados, tanto pelas escolhas contábeis quanto pelas decisões operacionais. No entanto, verificou-se que os CEOs de longo mandato não apresentam intenções para o gerenciamento pelas escolhas contábeis, e nas decisões operacionais suas intenções são de reporte de resultados mais conservadores. Conclui-se que a remuneração variável não provocou efeito sobre a relação entre tempo de mandato dos CEOs e o gerenciamento de resultados pelas escolhas contábeis. Porém, para o gerenciamento por decisões operacionais, a remuneração variável provocou efeito sobre as intenções dos CEOs com longo mandato, reduzindo ainda mais suas intenções conforme o aumento na proporção da remuneração variável.

The wingless and integration site growth factor-5a (Wnt5a) is a ligand of the receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor-1 (ROR1). Because both Wnt5a and ROR1 are expressed in circulating chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, and because in other cell types, STAT3, which is constitutively activated in CLL, induces Wnt5a signaling, we wondered whether STAT3 induces the expression of Wnt5a in CLL cells. Sequence analysis detected four putative STAT3 binding sites in close proximity to the Wnt5a gene promoter’s start codon. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and EMSA revealed that STAT3 binds to the Wnt5a gene promoter, and a luciferase assay showed that STAT3 activates the Wnt5a gene. Additionally, transfection of peripheral blood CLL cells with STAT3 short hairpin RNA downregulated Wnt5a mRNA and protein levels, suggesting that STAT3 binds to the Wnt5a gene promoter and induces the expression of Wnt5a in CLL cells. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy determined that both Wnt5a and its receptor ROR1 are coexpressed on the surface of CLL cells, and Western immunoblotting showed an inverse correlation between Wnt5a and ROR1 protein levels, implying that, regardless of CLL cells’ ROR1 levels, blocking the interaction between Wnt5a and ROR1 might be beneficial to patients with CLL. Indeed, transfection of CLL cells with Wnt5a small interfering RNA reduced Wnt5a mRNA and protein levels and significantly increased the spontaneous apoptotic rate of CLL cells. Taken together, our data unravel an autonomous STAT3-driven prosurvival circuit that provides circulating CLL cells with a microenvironment-independent survival advantage.
A Dynamic Variation of Pulmonary ACE2 Is Required to Modulate Neutrophilic Inflammation in Response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa Lung Infection in Mice

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a potent negative regulator capable of restraining overactivation of the renin–angiotensin system, which contributes to exuberant inflammation after bacterial infection. However, the mechanism through which ACE2 modulates this inflammatory response is not well understood. Accumulating evidence indicates that infectious insults perturb ACE2 activity, allowing for uncontrolled inflammation. In the current study, we demonstrate that pulmonary ACE2 levels are dynamically varied during bacterial lung infection, and the fluctuation is critical in determining the severity of bacterial pneumonia. Specifically, we found that a pre-existing and persistent deficiency of active ACE2 led to excessive neutrophil accumulation in mouse lungs subjected to bacterial infection, resulting in a hyperinflammatory response and lung damage. In contrast, pre-existing and persistent increased ACE2 activity reduces neutrophil infiltration and compromises host defense, leading to overwhelming bacterial infection. Further, we found that the interruption of pulmonary ACE2 restitution in the model of bacterial lung infection delays the recovery process from neutrophilic lung inflammation. We observed the beneficial effects of recombinant ACE2 when administered to bacterially infected mouse lungs following an initial inflammatory response. In seeking to elucidate the mechanisms involved, we discovered that ACE2 inhibits neutrophil infiltration and lung inflammation by limiting IL-17 signaling by reducing the activity of the STAT3 pathway. The results suggest that the alteration of active ACE2 is not only a consequence of bacterial lung infection but also a critical component of host defense through modulation of the innate immune response to bacterial lung infection by regulating neutrophil influx.
A Scalability Study of the Multirotor Biplane Tailsitter Using Conceptual Sizing
Authors: Sridharan Ananth , Govindarajan Bharath , Chopra Inderjit
Published: October 2019

This paper presents a methodology for preliminary sizing of unconventional rotorcraft using a physics-based approach to estimate the weight of primary load-carrying members and rotor efficiencies. The methodology is demonstrated for a quadrotor biplane tailsitter, a tilt-body configuration
that can operate in both helicopter and airplane mode. A beam lattice framework for the airframe structure is iteratively adjusted in the sizing loop to accommodate the limit loads. A similar semianalytical approach is followed to size and estimate weight of the rotor blades. Using this analysis,
a consistent combination of vehicle macrodimensions (rotor radius, wing span) and tip speed as well as detailed design parameters (spar height, skin thickness, and cross-section weight) are obtained simultaneously. To compare the effectiveness of various power plants within a weight class,
the sizing methodology was modified to identify the payload for three different vehicle takeoff weights: 20, 50, and 1000 lb. To enable operation within constrained urban canyons, the effect of restricting maximum vehicle dimensions to 10 ftfor the 1000-lb designs is also examined. An electric
transmission model is used in these designs owing to its relative insensitivity of transmission efficiency to the operating RPM. A variable-pitch and variable-RPM rotor design allows for control redundancy within each rotor.

Stress and the predisposition to sport injuries
Authors: Schomer Hein H.
Published: October 2019

Stressful experiences like accidents and close misses produce distinct emotional responses in those going through them. Short-term stressors of this kind make one appreciate the effects long-term stressors must have on one's capacity to adapt and react appropriately and safely to an ever-changing, demanding environment. Acute trauma and injuries are associated with an increased perception of persistent stressful events. Studies of athletes indicate that the risk of injury increases in direct relationship to the accumulation of challenging life change events which demand radical adaptation and coping behaviours from the individual experiencing them. Life change events are situations the individual interprets as overwhelming, threatening, unsatisfying and contradictory. The impact of life change events on psychological dimensions constitutes no simple process; it is complex and multi-factorial. Implications for the prevention and rehabilitation of sport injuries have to be appraised with this back-drop in mind.

Prise en charge médicale de la leptospirose chez le chien
Authors: Barthélemy Anthony
Published: October 2019

La leptospirose est une zoonose ré-émergente à l’origine de manifestations cliniques variées et dont l’intensité est variable. La prise en charge médicale de cette grave affection repose sur l’antibiothérapie (la doxycycline et les pénicillines étant les antibiotiques de choix) mais également sur les mesures de soutien de toutes les grandes fonctions vitales altérées par cette maladie. Les techniques d’épuration extrarénale utilisées pour suppléer la fonction rénale défaillante ne doivent pas être entreprises en dernier recours, mais envisagées rapidement afin d’améliorer le pronostic de ces chiens.
L’éducation thérapeutique en médecine vétérinaire, une adaptation possible ? Exemple de la dermatite atopique canine
Authors: Bensignor Emmanuel
Published: October 2019

La dermatite atopique canine est un des principaux motifs de consultation en dermatologie vétérinaire : il est estimé que 10% des chiens sont, peu ou prou, atopiques. Il s’agit d’une maladie chronique, dont le traitement est multifactoriel. En outre chaque animal est unique et la thérapeutique doit être adaptée au cas par cas. Chez l’homme, pour les maladies chroniques, l’éducation thérapeutique a montré son intérêt, initialement dans le diabète puis dans les maladies allergiques (asthme et dermatite atopique). Le but de cette approche est de permettre au patient d’acquérir des compétences qui lui permettent de participer de manière autonome à sa prise en charge. Ce concept est tout à fait transposable au chien, notamment dans une maladie pérenne, qui nécessite des traitements réguliers, comme la dermatite atopique. Nous évoquerons dans cet article la définition de l’éducation thérapeutique en médecine vétérinaire, ses modes d’application dans le cadre de la dermatite atopique et insisterons sur une approche originale, validée chez l’homme, la mise en place d’une «école de l’atopie» qui permet de faciliter la formation des propriétaires aux soins.
La maladie de Lyme chez le cheval : un défi clinique et diagnostique
Authors: Dupuis-Tricaud Marie-Capucine , Depecker Marianne
Published: October 2019

La maladie de Lyme, infection causée par des bactéries spirochètes du genre Borrelia, reste une maladie controversée chez le cheval. De nombreux signes cliniques non spécifiques ont été attribués à cette maladie sur le terrain (fatigue, boiteries, troubles du comportement, hyperesthésie, fonte musculaire, fièvre isolée…) alors qu’ils n’ont jamais été reproduits lors d’infections expérimentales. La symptomatologie exacte lors d’infection naturelle reste très peu documentée, les rares cas publiés dans la littérature correspondent à des tableaux cliniques peu fréquents et probablement sous-diagnostiqués (uvéite, neuroborréliose et atteinte cutanée de type «pseudo-lymphome» ). Les tests sérologiques restent les examens complémentaires les plus utilisés, la PCR sur le sang étant presque systématiquement négative. Néanmoins, les résultats sérologiques doivent être interprétés avec précaution : un résultat positif traduit une exposition au pathogène, ce qui ne veut pas dire que le cheval souffre de maladie de Lyme (la plupart des infections étant asymptomatiques). D’autre part, un résultat négatif ne permet pas d’exclure totalement l’hypothèse (du fait de la cinétique particulière des anticorps et de la variabilité des réponses immunitaires). Actuellement, le traitement se justifie sur des chevaux sérologiquement positifs présentant des signes cliniques pour lesquels les autres causes potentielles ont été exclues. Il n’existe pas de consensus sur le choix du protocole mais les tétracyclines sur plusieurs semaines restent les plus utilisées. Enfin, il est reconnu qu’une réponse positive au traitement ne peut être utilisée comme critère diagnostique.

La fièvre Q est une maladie abortive des ruminants transmise par voie aérienne à partir de l’environnement contaminé par les produits d’avortements, de mises-bas et par les excréments. Néanmoins, la relation entre survenue d’avortements et contamination environnementale reste mal définie. Notre objectif était d’estimer la fréquence de détection et les charges de Coxiella burnetii dans la poussière des bâtiments d’élevage en relation avec l’occurrence d’épisodes abortifs attribués à la fièvre Q. Des échantillons de poussière (n= 109) ont été prélevés dans les élevages bovins, ovins et caprins, cliniquement atteints de fièvre Q ou non. L’ADN de C. burnetii a été détecté par PCR quantitative dans de nombreux échantillons. La probabilité de détection était plus grande dans les élevages caprins et ovins que dans les élevages bovins, et dans les élevages cliniquement atteints de fièvre Q que dans les élevages non cliniquement atteints. La poussière des bâtiments pourrait donc constituer un indicateur du statut des élevages pour la fièvre Q.

Biodiversity is defined by the richness in species, genes and ecosystems but also and especially by their interrelations, i. e. the system functioning. To develop biodiversity, this functioning requires considering both different types of species and different scales of processes, including the global scale of the territory (dispersion of individuals). In town, the ecological services provide by biodiversity are fundamental to urban sustainability. An urban planning paradigm shift must register geography and functional ecology in diagnostics, as well as mobility for example. Consequently, the non-built areas could have an important meaning as building and the ecology of areas could be considered at the same level as architecture.
An IMPC Based Parking Assistance System
Authors: Ouyang Qianyu , Jia Xianzhe
Published: October 2019

This paper summarizes progress and outcome from our research projects on adaptive model predictive control based parking management system, including parking motion planning and control strategy, as well as a localization strategy for parking spot. IMPC here refers to interactive model predictive control regime, which is characterized in that multiple agents implementing separate MPC strategy are incorporating information about their state, objective, and constraints. To predict future parking parameters, we proposed a practical framework which integrates anticipatory techniques with a model predictive approach that robustly models the uncertainty intrinsic of parking environment. The control regime puts comprehensive consideration into the interactions between vehicle subsystems, thus capable of optimizing trajectory under complex input disturbances under real-world driving scenarios. Moreover, Adaptive model predictive control is utilized to optimally minimize a cost function regarding time elapse, peripheral convenience and vehicle dynamics correspondent with surrounding vehicle states. The objective function is solved by dynamic programming under calibrated constraints in terms of velocity and steering accuracy, which yielded superior performance in comparison with convex programming. A dedicated guidance system was developed for navigating user to the parking spot for ease of locating parking location, which is characterized in that swift location and path are generated by BLE-based sensor fusion. Upon parking action finalization, the BLE sensor transmits the parking location to preferred communication equipment of user, which serves as goal of parking retrieve assignment. Simulation results show promising expected cost minimization in typical parking environments under consideration of numbers of trials, parking time and distance to destination. The achieved accuracy of MPC-led parking management strategy is able to improve the precision up to 0.3 meter, within the simulated highly disorganized parking environment. Meanwhile, the state of art park spot search module is able to shorten the time for drivers to locate their vehicle with positioning error of less than 1.2 meter.
Harnessing the expertise and enthusiasm of university students for assistance in disasters

Published: October 2019

The University of Nebraska Medical Center’s, College of Public Health modeled a student response team after similar successful programs at Emory University and the University of North Carolina. The team was created for three specific scenarios: epidemiology outbreak assistance, points of dispensing assistance, and monitoring social media in a disaster. Graduate students in public health are an overlooked volunteer resource. Many have prior work experience and are eager for the opportunity to gain additional practical experience while demonstrating classroom knowledge about the foundations of public health. Requesting agencies gain access to a dependable, replenishable volunteer pool. Academic institutions are encouraged to create teams to serve local communities, giving students access to serve local communities and to give students access to valuable applied experience that can be beneficial as they enter the public health workforce.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and
candidate genes that affect growth intensity is a prerequisite for the
marker-assisted selection of economically important traits. The number of
QTL studies on sheep is relatively small in comparison to those on cattle
and pigs. The current QTL sheep database – Sheep QTLdb – contains information on
1658 QTLs for 225 different traits. A few genes and markers associated with
growth, carcass and meat productivity traits have been reported. The
information about QTLs from the Sheep QTLdb cannot be directly used in
marker-assisted selection due to the lack of essential information such as
effective and reference alleles, the effect direction etc., and it requires
manual curation and validation. In this study we performed a comprehensive
search for QTLs focusing on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
associated with growth and meat traits in sheep. The database contains
information about 156 SNP–trait associations (123 unique SNPs) and a list of
165 associated genes. The updated information is freely available at
https://github.com/Defrag1236/Ovines_2018 (last access: 18 September 2019). This
information can be useful for further association studies and preliminary
estimation of genetic variability for economically important traits in
different breeds.
Lightning NO2 simulation over the contiguous US and its effects on satellite NO2 retrievals

Published: October 2019

Abstract. Lightning is an important NOx source representing ∼10 % of the global source of odd N and a much larger percentage in the upper troposphere. The poor understanding of spatial and temporal patterns of lightning contributes to a large uncertainty in understanding upper tropospheric chemistry. We implement a lightning parameterization using the product of convective available potential energy (CAPE) and convective precipitation rate (PR) coupled with the Kain–Fritsch convective scheme (KF/CAPE-PR) into the Weather Research and Forecasting-Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model.
Compared to the cloud-top height (CTH) lightning parameterization combined with the Grell 3-D convective scheme (G3/CTH), we show that the switch of convective scheme improves the correlation of lightning flash density in the southeastern US from 0.30 to 0.67 when comparing against the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network; the switch of lightning parameterization contributes to the improvement of the correlation from 0.48 to 0.62 elsewhere in the US.
The simulated NO2 profiles using the KF/CAPE-PR parameterization exhibit better agreement with aircraft observations in the middle and upper troposphere. Using a lightning NOx production rate of 500 mol NO flash−1, the a priori NO2 profile generated by the simulation with the KF/CAPE-PR parameterization reduces the air mass factor for NO2 retrievals by 16 % on average in the southeastern US in the late spring and early summer compared to simulations using the G3/CTH parameterization. This causes an average change in NO2 vertical column density 4 times higher than the average uncertainty.
Impact of isotope composition on the humidity dependency correction of water vapour isotope measurements with infra-red cavity ring-down spectrometers
Authors: Weng Yongbiao , Touzeau Alexandra , Sodemann Harald
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Advances in laser spectroscopic techniques now enable high-frequency in situ measurements of the water vapour isotope composition on platforms such as ship and aircraft. However, the isotope compositions and the d-excess measured by this technique can be substantially affected by water concentrations, especially at low humidity. This measurement artefact is known as the "humidity dependency", and is commonly corrected for uniformly across all isotope compositions. Here we systematically investigate the behaviour of the humidity dependency on three commercial cavity ring-down spectrometers for different water standards within a humidity range of 500 to 23'000 ppmv. We find that the isotope compositions of measured water do have a substantial impact on the shape of the humidity dependency at low humidity (below 4'000 ppmv). This isotope composition dependency can, for example, create an offset of ±0.5 and ±6 ‰ for δ18O and δD at ~2'000 ppmv in the case of a Picarro L2130-i, resulting in an offset of 2–3 ‰ for the d-excess. We show that the combined isotope composition–humidity dependency can be expressed by a surface function, which allows to build a correction framework. The impact of this correction is illustrated for a case of aircraft measurements and ship-based measurements in cold environments. A ystematic assessment of the robustness of our findings for three laser spectrometers shows overall constant behaviour with time (for periods ranging from one month to two years), independent of the method of characterisation (discrete liquid injection and continuous vapour streaming), dry gas supply (N2 and synthetic air), or the sequence of humidity levels. Based on our analysis, we recommend a procedure for the characterisation and subsequent correction of the combined isotope composition–humidity dependency for this type of laser spectrometers when performing water vapour measurements in cold and dry conditions.

Abstract. The aim of this study was to model the surface urban heat island (SUHI) based on remote sensing data, urban morphology parameters and partial least square (PLS) regression using Santa Rosa, California, USA as a case study. Night-time Land surface temperature (LST) was estimated for all the available Landsat 8 night-time data from august to November for the year 2013. Urban morphology parameters such as Building Volume (BV) and Sky View Factor (SVF) were calculated using available LIDAR data of the study area and Normalized Difference Vegetation (NDVI), Index based Built-up Index (IBI) were calculated using Landsat 8 data sets and were used to identify the impact of urban surface characteristics on land surface temperature. Partial least square (PLS) regression analysis was used to assess the correlation and statistically significance of the variables on LST and model the night time LST of the study area. The results of the analysis showed that the LST has a strong positive relationship with IBI and BV and negative relationship with SVF and NDVI and also at night-time, results showed that SVF has a stronger impact on LST differences than NDVI where areas with high density trees had higher temperature than obstacle free vegetated areas. The result of night time LST modelling of the study area was R-square with value of 0.81 between estimated and predicted LST and RMSE with value of 1.02 °C.
