An overview on hermeneutics method application to the Quran by Muslim thinkers
Authors: Zainatul Nadra Zainol Nur , Abdul Majid Latifah , Faizulamri Md Saad Mohd 
Published: November 2018

Hermeneutics method was introduced by modern Islamic thinkers where they see the need to apply the methods of hermeneutics in the interpretation of the Quran. Among of the thinkers are Fazlur Rahman, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd and Arkoun who applying hermeneutics. Thus it occur a debate among Muslim scholars. Hence, this study aims to analyse the methods introduced by these scholars which were emphasizing in hermeneutics aspects.In this paper, the method of content analysis conducted can gatherrelevant facts on hermeneutics methods that have been applied against the Quran by modern thinkers as well as collecting information in other forms of interpretation that have been conducted by these modern thinkers. The views of contemporary scholars onthe true interpretation of Quran was also identified to argue the opinions of the modern thinkers who justify the hermeneutics methods.this study shows those modern thinkers have used the theories of hermeneutics as literary criticism, history and semiotic study of the Quran. The use of the method has downgraded the Quran by equating the Quran as literary works. Reinterpretationof the verses of the Quran based on the current context has made the issue of fiqh change and become controversial and this is against the opinion of the majority of scholars.Â Â

University students are among those who are responsible in setting the goals of national development. Therefore, they should possess good values in which portraying their personal identities, thus reflects the multiracial culture of Malaysia. However, a number of incidents such as the issue of National Anthem (Negaraku), AUKU conflicts, campus political extremes, gangstersâ€™, conflict of identity and so on do ruin their images as the ones who are intellectuals. This condition leads to the question of studentsâ€™ nationalism, particularly engineering students, where they are more concentrating on their technical courses compared to university requirement courses. This research was a survey designed research. The objectives of the research were (i) to determine the engineering studentsâ€™ level of appreciation towards Malaysian Nationhood course, (ii) to determine studentsâ€™ perception towards Malaysian Nationhood course, and (iii) to identify the studentsâ€™ preferences on university courses. A total of 200 students were randomly selected as the respondents of the research. The frequencies and percentages were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Findings showed that the engineering studentsâ€™ level of appreciation towards the Malaysian Nationhood course was at moderate level as they perceived the attendance to the course was mandatory. Almost students agreed that they would not enroll in the course if they were given the choice. Overall, it showed that the students attended the class as it was a compulsory course set by the ministry. The findings portrayed the studentsâ€™ nationalism.Â Based on these findings, it is suggested that a more comprehensive modules and approaches which fulfill the needs of students should be prepared in order to emphasize the importance of nationalism among the students.Â Â Â

Patent Pool and Deprivatization of Patents
Authors: Wu Weimin 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Most economic theories on patent pools focus exclusively on patent owners’ licensing practices in explaining why patent owners voluntarily form a patent pool. Such an approach ignores the “property” root of patents. Judge Posner emphasized the importance of using economic theories on physical properties to analyze intellectual properties. Led by this spirit, I applied the evolutionary theory of property rights, formulated by Chicago School economist Harold Demsetz, to analyze the formation of patent pools. Demsetz’s theory posits that a transition in property rights structures results from interacting parties’ efforts to maximize utilities in face of changes in external factors that bear on the parties’ benefit-cost calculation. Later studies by various property rights economists have found that the existence of externalities, the cost of enforcing the right to exclude, and the economy of scale can respectively change the benefit-cost calculation of property owners/users, and drive property rights structures towards either privatization or deprivatization. I argued that the formation of patent pools can be understood as deprivatization of patents – a transition from a private property system to a commons system – in response to three phenomena in the patent system: complementary patents, high costs of enforcing patent rights, and excessive patent fragmentation. When transaction costs of patent pooling are outweighed by its benefits, we can expect to see more patent pools being established.

Published: November 2018

AbstractThe effect of subsequent annealing on the electrochemical properties of an AZ31 magnesium alloy processed by extrusion and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was investigated. The electrochemical properties were evaluated using potentiodynamic tests in corrosion solution of 0.1 M sodium chloride. The electrochemical changes after annealing were correlated with microstructure evolution. The microstructure was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The evolution of dislocation density was determined by positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS). The annealing for 1h at temperatures ranging from 150∘C to 250∘C resulted in higher polarization resistance in all cases. The polarization resistance of sample annealed at 250∘C was ~17% higher compared to just ECAPed material. Combination of gradual decrease of dislocation density, grain growth and second phase particles dissolution played the crucial role in the corrosion resistance improvement.

Abstract

Background
Although numerous studies have proven that estrogen (Est) has a protective effect on the development of hypertension, more research needs to be done to show its detailed mechanism in a variety of hypertension. The important role of active oxygen species in blood pressure is well defined. We examined whether or not sex hormones change the growth of reactive oxygen species (ROS) ‎in kidneys after central microinjection of angiotensin II (Ang II).‎

Materials and methods
Female Wistar rats, 8 weeks old (200 ± 10 g) were used in this study. The animal groups were (1) Sham, (2) Ovariectomy (OVX), (3) Sham-Hypertension (Sham-Hyper), (4) OVX-Hypertension (OVX-Hyper), (5) Sham-Hyper-Est, (6) OVX-Hyper-Est‎;‎ (7) Sham-Hyper-Testosterone (Tst) and (8) OVX-Hyper-Tst. Solutions of 1% NaCl and 0.1 KCl ‎were used and desoxycorticostrone (doca-salt) was injected (45 mg/kg) 3 times a week in Hypertension groups. Estradiol and Tst (2 mg/kg and ‎5 mg/kg‎; daily; subcutaneously) for 4 weeks. Ang II (50 μM, 5 μL) was microinjected by intracerebroventricular ( i.c.v.) infusion and malondialdehyde (MDA) and thiol in the kidneys were measured.

Results
MDA in the kidneys was increased by Ang II and doca-salt treatments. Both estradiol and Tst decreased the kidney’s MDA. The level of thiol was higher in Hyper ‎groups and reversed after treatment with estradiol and Tst.

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that central effect of Ang II on blood pressure and kidney ‎disease is accompanied with increased levels of oxidative stress in the kidneys. Indeed sex hormones change the ROS level in the kidneys after central ‎microinjection of Ang II.‎‎
MAPE - An Alternative Fitness Metric for Prony Analysis of Power System Signals
Authors: Rao Krishna , Shubhanga K.N 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Phasor Measurement Units have facilitated tracking of oscillations in power system response signals. This has provided an impetus for identifying unstable component modes directly from oscillatory signals. Prony analysis, the earliest method proposed for this purpose, throws up some trivial modes. These not only distract the analyzer but also prolong processing time thereby delaying corrective action. Hence the fitness metric chosen should serve to minimize the number of trivial modes. The conventional fitness metric is Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), which is actually Signal-to- Estimation error Ratio (SER). This paper proposes that Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) can also serve well as a fitness metric. It is shown through case studies carried out on well-known four-machine power system that there are a few cases where MAPE performs better than SER while in some instances SER works better. This inference is verified even in the presence of measurement noise. Hence a novel fitness metric is proposed combining MAPE with SER. Case studies on simulated signals obtained from New England-power system prove that this novel metric can achieve considerable reduction in processing time. Besides, an exponential binary search has been suggested for determining the optimal model order in minimum number of iterations.
Sign Language Semantics: Problems and Prospects
Authors: Schlenker Philippe 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
‘Visible Meaning’ (Schlenker 2018b) claims (i) that sign language makes visible some aspects of the Logical Form of sentences that are covert in spoken language, and (ii) that, along some dimensions, sign languages are more expressive than spoken languages because iconic conditions can be found at their logical core. Following nine peer commentaries, we clarify both claims and discuss three main issues: what is the nature of the interaction between logic and iconicity in sign language and beyond? does iconicity in sign language play the same role as gestures in spoken language? and is sign language Role Shift best analyzed in terms of visible context shift, or by way of demonstrations referring to gestures?
