Middle East and African Student (MEAS) perceptions of Islam and Islamic moderation: a case study
Authors: Ebrahimi Mansoureh , Yusoff Kamaruzaman , Ismail Rozmi 
Published: June 2021

Islamic Moderation is such a fundamental concept that without it understanding faith is inadequate at best. Muslims are required by definition of the term ‘Muslim’ to remain on the middle path in everything pertaining to the life ways. They must not overstep the bounds (tafrit) and become trapped in the extremist quagmire (ifrat). As an Islamic doctrine par excellence, moderation inherently finds solutions for injustice and the violation of human rights. Nonetheless, some schools of Islamic thought (madhhabs) attend extremist ideology, particularly those of Middle East and African savour. These have spread a frightful spirit of intolerance throughout the world that has indelibly blackened Islam’s image by choosing to deny Islam’s characteristic spirit of moderation. In so doing, they marginalize any proper implementation of authentic Islam and block all corrective political discourse. Militant radicals clearly neglect moderation as a doctrinal position that is traditionally essential to the creed. This paper presents a broad exposure to Islam’s middle path with a focus on 192 respondents in a survey taken by Middle Eastern and African students (MEAS) studying in Malaysia. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to achieve four significant findings indicating these students do not understand the nature of being a good Muslim.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
The exit slope of Chenjiapo Tunnel is located directly above the exit of Chenjiapo Tunnel on Enshi to Laifeng expressway. During the excavation of the exit of the right line of the tunnel, the left side of the front edge of the slope slips. Under the joint action of excavation and rainfall, a large landslide of 6.27×10 4 m 3 and a huge unstable slope of 8.69×10 5 m 3 are formed. The landslide body and unstable slope body not only cause the tunnel to be shut down, but also directly threaten the operation safety of the later expressway. Therefore, in order to study the stability change process of the exit slope of Chenjiapo tunnel under the condition of long-term rainfall, the finite element calculation of the slope is carried out by GeoStudio software. The results show that under the condition of long-term continuous rainfall, the safety factor of the slope decreases with the increased rainfall time, but the reduction rate gradually slows down, and finally tends to be stable. The safety factor of the slope is reduced from 1.187 in the natural state to 1.015, which indicates that the slope is still in a stable state under the condition of long-term continuous rainfall, but the safety reserve is not high, and it is easy to lose stability and damage due to the influence of external adverse factors. As the rainfall continues, the seepage line inside the slope is rising, and the saturated area of the soil at the toe of the slope is increasing. Until the slope begins to drain outwards, the seepage field inside the slope is basically stable. The maximum horizontal displacement of the slope increases with the increased rainfall time, but the increase rate gradually slows down until it tends to be stable. The maximum horizontal displacement of the slope occurred in the middle surface of the slope at the beginning of the rainfall, and gradually transferred to the toe of the slope within 7 days of the rainfall and continued until the end of the rainfall. At the end of the rainfall, the maximum horizontal displacement of the toe of the slope is 0.128 m, and the toe of the slope will be damaged first. At the beginning of the rainfall, the plastic zone of the slope is only scattered at the slope surface and the slope toe. And then as the rainfall continues, the distribution range of the plastic zone in the slope surface, the slope toe and the slide zone gradually widen, and the slope stability gradually decreases. The maximum horizontal displacement and plastic zone of the slope are concentrated at the toe of the slope, the slope presents obvious traction failure characteristics. According to the results of field survey, there are small-scale gravel soil collapses and shear outlets at the front edge of the slope, and the survey results are consistent with the simulation results. It is suggested to set up perfect drainage engineering in the middle and back of the slope, and set anti slide piles and drainage holes at the toe of the slope to reinforce the slope.
Distributed Adaptive Formation Control for Underactuated Quadrotors with Guaranteed Performances

Published: June 2021

Abstract
This paper investigates a distributed adaptive formation control problem for underactuated quadrotors with guaranteed performances. To ensure a robust and stable formation pattern with predefined behavior bounds, by transforming the original constrained formation synchronization error dynamics into an equivalent unconstrained one, a prescribed performance mechanism is introduced in the translational loop to render the formation regulation as a prior. Based on the graph theory and Lyapunov stability analysis, a state estimator-based minimal learning parameter (SE-MLP) neuroadaptive consensus strategy is developed for follower quadrotors to achieve a distributed cooperative formation with prescribed tracking abilities via exchanging local information with neighbors. The presented control scheme has the following salient merits: 1) the formation synchronization errors can be guaranteed within pre-assigned bounds with desired transient behaviors despite of uncertain disturbances; 2) by using a state estimation error to update neural network (NN) parameters, rather than the tracking error that widely applied in traditional NN approximators, and with the help of MLP technique, the proposed SE-MLP observer capable of decreasing the computational complexity can achieve a fast identification of lumped disturbances without causing high-frequency oscillations even using a large adaptive gain, and the transient solutions of L 2 norm of the differential of neural weights are established to illustrate the mechanism of SE-MLP observer in reducing chattering behaviors. Simulation results are given to validate the efficiency of developed technique.

Abstract
Chronic Renal failure patients on dialysis are at a high risk of death due to vascular calcification (VC). This study aimed at investigating the effect of omega3- fatty acids on the vascular calcification biomarkers fetuin-A and Osteoprotegerin (OPG) in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) who are undergoing hemodialysis. This prospective, open-label, controlled, parallel study included 60 hemodialysis patients who were randomized to receive either omega-3 fatty acids capsule along with their standard care of treatment (omega-3 group) or their standard care of treatment only (control group). Serum levels of fetuin-A, OPG, calcium, phosphorus, hemoglobin, parathyroid hormone (PTH), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), albumin (ALB), serum creatinine (SCr), and serum triglycerides (TG) were measured at baseline and after six months of intervention and follow-up of both groups. Significantly increased levels of fetuin-A and OPG (p<0.001) were observed in the omega-3 group six months after the intervention compared with the control group. Levels of calcium, phosphorous, hemoglobin, parathyroid hormone, BUN, albumin, SCr, and TG were not significantly changed in the omega-3 group or the control group after six months of intervention. Our study concluded that omega-3 may have a clinically beneficial effect in decreasing cardiovascular events by increasing the levels of the protective vascular calcification inhibitors fetuin-A and osteoprotegerin in chronic renal failure patients who are undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract
Background: To compare ureteroscopy (URS) complementary treatment following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) failure with primary URS lithotripsy for proximal ureteral stones ＞ 10 mm, and try to find out optimal SWL session followed by safe URS.Methods: This was a retrospective study following approval from Medical Ethics Committee of People's Hospital of Chongqing Banan District. Patients (n=340) who received URS in our hospital for stones ＞10 mm from Jan 2015 to June 2020 were divided into two groups according to their previous SWL history. Group 1 consisted of 160 patients that underwent unsuccessful SWL before URS. Group 2 encompassed 180 patients without SWL before URS. Patient’s operative outcomes were compared. Receiver operator characteristics were used to identify the optimal SWL session, regarding the intra-operative complications of URS.Results: The group 1 required more surgery time (41.38 ± 11.39 min vs. 36.43 ± 13.36 min, P=0.01). At the same time, more intra-operative (68.1% VS 22.8%, p = 0.000) and post-operative (35% VS 18.0%, p = 0.001) complications occurred in group 1. Need more hospital stay in group 1 (2.7 ± 1.2 days vs 1.6 ± 1.1 days, p < 0.05). More patients in group 1 need further URS (16.3% VS 6.7%, p = 0.004). After second URS, the SFR of URS was insignificant differences (82.5% VS 88.9%, p＞ 0.05). The median (25% - 75%) of SWL sessions before URS was 2(1-3) in group 1. The optimal SWL session followed by URS were 0.5 (Area Under Curve = 0.718, p ＜ 0.001) with a sensitivity of 67.7% and specificity of 71.5%. Intra-operative complication rates of URS treatment were higher in patients who suffered ＞ 1 SWL failure (72.6% vs 57.4%, p = 0.047).Conclusion: There was no optimal SWL session that could be followed by URS with fewer intra-operative complications. Patients who underwent previous SWL were likely to suffer more intra-operative complications, the average operating time, hospitalization time, and needing further treatment, during URS treatment for proximal ureteral stones larger than 10 mm.

Abstract
High-performance quantum memory for quantized states of light is a prerequisite building block of quantum information technology. Despite great progresses of optical quantum memories based on interactions of light and atoms, physical features of these memories still can not satisfy the requirement for applications in practical quantum information systems, since all of them suffer from trade off between memory efficiency and excess noise. Here, we report a high-performance cavity-enhanced electromagnetically-induced-transparency memory with warm atomic cell in which a scheme of optimizing the spatial and temporal modes based on the time-reversal approach is applied. A quantum memory with the efficiency up to 78 + 1% and the noise level close to quantum noise limit has been experimentally achieved. The realized quantum memory platform has been capable of preserving quantized optical states, and thus is ready to be applied in quantum information systems, such as distributed quantum logic gates and quantum-enhanced atomic magnetometry.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Low-grade waste heat is an abundant and underutilised energy source, and the promise of thermo-electrochemical cells to harvest this resource and power applications such as wearable devices and sensors is increasingly being realised. However, despite substantial advances in performance in recent years, understanding the interior processes occurring within these devices remains a challenge. Here we report an operando magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach that can provide quantitative spatial maps of electrolyte temperature and redox ion concentrations in functioning thermo-electrochemical cells. Time-resolved images are obtained from liquid and gel electrolytes, allowing the effects of redox reactions and competing mass transfer effects such as thermophoresis and diffusion to be visualised and correlated with the device performance via simultaneous electrochemical measurements. This method offers valuable insights into these devices and will greatly aid their future design and optimisation.

Abstract
Because of dysprosium's unique physical and chemical properties and limited supply, the price of rare earth dysprosium has been high in recent years. Therefore, the study of the method of high efficiency selective separation of dysprosium has the double value of scientific research and practical economy. In this paper, we used periodic cellulose nanocrystals as the basic structure, polyethylenimine and graphene oxide were introduced, combined with imprinting technology, to construct porous imprinted aerogel and use it for selective adsorption of Dy(III). The physical and chemical properties were characterized by SEM, TEM, FT-IR and TGA. It was proved that both polyethylenimine and graphene oxide were crosslinked effectively with cellulose nanocrystals. Adsorption experiments showed that the composite imprinted aerogel could selectively adsorb dysprosium effectively, and the maximum adsorption capacity for Dy(III) was 39.027 mg g− 1. The reproducibility experiment showed that aerogel had good regeneration ability. In conclusion, cellulose nanocrystals aerogel, which is environmentally friendly, efficient and repeatable, is expected to provide a new direction for the recovery of rare earth elements.

Abstract
ObjectivesWe expected to explore the associations of hearing loss and hearing thresholds at different frequencies with total and cause-specific mortality.Methods11,732 individuals derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2012 were included in this study. Data of death was extracted from the NHANES Public-Use Linked Mortality File through December 31, 2015. Cox proportional hazards models were used to explore the associations between hearing loss, hearing thresholds at different frequencies and total or cause-specific mortality. ResultsA total of 1,253 deaths occurred with a median follow-up of 12.15 years. A significant positive dose-response relationship between hearing loss in speech frequency and total mortality was observed, and the HRs and 95% CIs were 1.16 (0.91, 1.47), 1.54 (1.19, 2.00) and 1.85 (1.36, 2.50), respectively for mild, moderate and severe speech-frequency hearing loss (SFHL) with a P trend of 0.0003. In addition, moderate (HR: 1.90, 95%CI: 1.20-3.00) and greater (3.50, 1.38-8.86) SFHL significantly elevated risk of heart disease mortality. Moreover, hearing thresholds of >25 dB at 500, 1000, or 2000 Hz were significantly associated with elevated mortality from all causes (1.40, 1.17-1.68; 1.44, 1.20-1.73; and 1.33, 1.10-1.62, respectively) and heart disease (1.89, 1.08-3.34; 1.95, 1.21-3.16; and 1.89, 1.16-3.09, respectively). Conclusion﻿Hearing loss is associated with increased risks of total mortality and heart disease mortality, especially for hearing loss at speech frequency. Preventing or inhibiting the pathogenic factors of hearing loss is important for reducing the risk of death.

Abstract
Background: MLL-PTD is a special MLL rearrangement gene that occurs in about 5-10% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a normal karyotype and in 5-6% of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is currently one of the curative therapies available for AML and MDS with excess blasts (MDS-EB). However, how the prognosis of patients with high levels of MLL-PTD after allo-HSCT, including AML and MDS, and whether MLL-PTD could be used as a reliable indicator for minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring in transplant patients remains unknown. Our study purposed to analyze the dynamic changes of MLL-PTD peri-transplantation and the best threshold for predicting relapse after transplantation.Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical data of 48 patients with MLL-PTD AML or MDS-EB who underwent allo-HSCT in Peking University People’s Hospital. The MLL-PTD was examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) at the diagnosis, before transplantation and the fixed time points after transplantation. Detectable MLL-PTD/ABL>0.08% was defined as MLL-PTD positive in this study.Results: The 48 patients included 33 AML patients and 15 MDS-EB patients. The median follow-up time was 26(0.7-56) months after HSCT. In AML patients, 7 patients (21.2%) died of treatment-related mortality (TRM), 6 patients (18.2%) underwent hematological relapse and died ultimately. Of the 15 patients with MDS-EB, 2 patients (13.3%) died of infection. The 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and TRM were 13.7%±5.2%, 67.8%±6.9%, 68.1%±6.8% and 20.3%±6.1%, respectively. ROC curve showed that post-transplant MLL-PTD≥1.0% was the optimal cut-off value for predicting hematological relapse after allo-HSCT. There was statistical difference between post-transplant MLL-PTD≥1.0% and MLL-PTD<1.0% groups (3-year CIR: 75%±15.3% vs. 0%, P<0.001; 3-year OS: 25.0±15.3% vs. 80.7%±6.6%, P<0.001; 3-year DFS: 25.0±15.3% vs. 80.7%±6.6%, P<0.001; 3-year TRM: 0 vs. 19.3±6.6%, P=0.277). However, whether MLL-PTD≥1% or MLL-PTD<1% before transplantation has no significant difference on the prognosis. Conclusions: Our study indicated that MLL-PTD had a certain stability and could effectively reflect the change of tumor burden. The expression level of MLL-PTD after transplantation can serve as an effective indicator for predicting relapse.
