al-Mu'amalah ma'a al-Bi'ah fi Manzur al-Qur'an al-Karim: Dirasat al-Tafsir al-Mawdu'i al-Siyaqi
Authors: Mustaqim Abd 
Published: December 2018

Krisis lingkungan merupakan salah satu isu aktual yang perlu mendapat perhatian serius, bukan saja dari para ilmuan, tetapi juga para agamawan, karena kerusakan alam telah sedemikian menggurita dan diperlukan “agama baru” yang memiliki konsern terhadap problem lingkungan. Untuk itu, Al-Qur’an sebagai sumber etik tertinggi bagi umat Islam perlu dikaji secara komprehensif untuk menemukan prinsip-prinsip etik dalam berinteraksi dengan lingkungan. Membiarkan lingkungan alam rusak, tanpa upaya untuk memeliharanya, sama artinya dengan menandatangi kontrak bagi kehancuran alam dan eksistensi manusia itu sendiri. Dengan pendekatan tafsir tematik-kontekstual, setidaknya ditemukan beberapa kesimpulan bahwa interaksi manusia dengan lingkungan secara baik merupakan bagian dari pengamalan agama. Barangsiapa yang akidahnya benar, maka akan benar pula dalam berinteraksi dengan lingkungan. Ini karena, dalam pandangan al-Qur’an, lingkungan setidaknya merupakan sign of God (âyat Allah (tanda kekuasaan dan eksistensi Tuhan). Setidaknya lingkungan alam memiliki tiga ciri khas yaitu, fungsional, dialektik, dan estetis dalam kehidupan manusia. Hal itu meniscayakan pentingya memegang teguh prinsip-prinsip etik dalam berinteraksi dengan lingkungan alam, yaitu: 1) tidak melakukan kerusakan, 2) berlaku adil, 3) berbuat ihsan dan 4) seimbang dan tidak eskploitatif dalam menggunakan sumber daya alam.
Hegemony of Involvement of Tafsir in Political Identity
Authors: Herlambang Saifuddin , Kurniawan Syamsul 
Published: December 2018

Tafsir is a process of text transmission that is inseparable from the ideological and theoretical framework as well as the influence of socio-political conditions and intellectual traditions of interpreters in which the interests will always be present in all the transmission process. This research focuses on the clarity of interpretation in identity politics, which departs from the writer’s anxiety about the phenomena of dragging tafsir in identity politics, as well as the prevalent trends occurring today in Indonesian politics as in the context of the Jakarta Local Election where the QS al-Maidah (5) verse 51 is not only a debatable issue but had also dragged the legitimacy of whether or not to vote for non-Muslim leaders. This research is a qualitative study with descriptive approach, which is hermeneutically analyzed.[Tafsir merupakan proses transmisi teks yang tak terlepas dari kerangka teoretis ideologis dan pengaruh kondisi sosial politik serta tradisi intelektual penafsir di mana kepentingan akan selalu hadir dalam semua proses transmisi tersebut. Fokus kajian ini adalah tentang keterseratan tafsir dalam politik identitas, yang berangkat dari kegelisahan penulis tentang fenomena keterseretan tafsir dalam politik identitas, sebagaimana kecenderungan yang marak terjadi dewasa ini dalam perpolitikan di Indonesia. Seperti, pada konteks Pilkada DKI Jakarta di mana ayat pada QS al-Maidah (5) ayat 51 tidak hanya menjadi modal perdebatan tetapi juga diseret-seret dalam legitimasi tentang boleh atau tidaknya memilih pemimpin yang non muslim. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif, yang dianalisis secara hermeneutika.]
New Public Monuments: Urban Art and Everyday Aesthetic Experience
Authors: Lehtinen Sanna 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The role and function of public art is currently undergoing some large-scale changes. Many new artworks which are situated within the already existing urban sphere, seem to be changing the definition of public art, each in their own way. Simultaneously, there exists a trend that endorses more traditional forms of public art. Juxtaposing and comparing the aesthetic implications of different types of artworks, it is possible to see how they contribute to the contemporary understanding of the urban sphere. In this paper, I take a look at the explicit and implicit aesthetic values that these simultaneously existing contemporary forms of public art are based on. The cases selected for closer look are examples of prominent and recent works of public art from downtown Helsinki: He who Brings the Light (unveiled in 2017) by Pekka Kauhanen and Running Man (performed in 2016-17) by Nestori Syrjala. What space and what kind of position is subscribed to the perceiver by these very different types of yet equally established artworks? What kind of experiences and possibilities of participation do these works entail? The focus is on the undergoing redefinition of public art that revolves around these questions.
Self-dual Leonard pairs
Authors: Nomura Kazumasa , Terwilliger Paul 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Let F denote a field and let V denote a vector space over F with finite positive dimension. Consider a pair A, A* of diagonalizable F-linear maps on V, each of which acts on an eigenbasis for the other one in an irreducible tridiagonal fashion. Such a pair is called a Leonard pair. We consider the self-dual case in which there exists an automorphism of the endomorphism algebra of V that swaps A and A*. Such an automorphism is unique, and called the duality A ↔ A*. In the present paper we give a comprehensive description of this duality. In particular,we display an invertible F-linearmap T on V such that the map X → TXT−1is the duality A ↔ A*. We express T as a polynomial in A and A*. We describe how T acts on 4 flags, 12 decompositions, and 24 bases for V.
Bayesian Inference Based on Multiply Type-II Censored Samples of Sequential Order Statistics from Pareto Distribution
Authors: Shafay A. R. , Sultan K. S. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In this article, Bayesian estimation and prediction are discussed based on multiply Type-II censored samples of sequential order statistics from the Pareto distribution. The posterior distributions are derived, and then the Bayesian estimators, with respect to the squared error loss function, are obtained for the two unknown parameters. Also, the reliability and hazard rate functions are estimated. Next, the Bayesian predictive and survival functions for a future sequential order statistic from the observed samples as well as that from a future unobserved sample from the same population are derived, and then the point and interval predictions are developed. Finally, some numerical results are pointed out for illustrating all the inferential methods developed here.
Experimental Study of Sinkhole Failure Related to Groundwater Level Drops

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Sinkholes are natural geohazard phenomena that cause damage to property and may lead to loss of life. They occur in very distinctive karst settings, where carbonate, limestone, dolomite, or gypsum are encountered as the bedrock. Predicting the formation and the collapse of a sinkhole based on current ground investigation techniques is limited by the high uncertainties level of the soil’s properties and behavior. A laboratory-scale sinkhole model was constructed to physically simulate the sinkhole phenomenon. This model is spatio-temporal in nature. The physical model was designed to monitor a network of radially distributed groundwater wells over time around a predetermined sinkhole location. The physical model proved experimentally that the groundwater forms a water cone of depression that is related to the sinkhole development. It is postulated that this phenomenon may be used to identify the potential location of the sinkhole at an early stage of the underground cavities formation. In addition, an abnormal pattern of the groundwater table readings, which is due to the presence of the sinkhole, was observed and analyzed utilizing time–frequency analysis technique. It is observed, based on the model, that sinkhole development is accompanied by progressive drops of groundwater table readings punctuated with certain time lags. These progressive drops and time lags are analyzed and correlated to the time and location of the collapse of the sinkhole.
A Life Prediction Model for High-Reliability Products and Its Application to VFD Based on Constant-Stress ADTs
Authors: Zhang Jianping , Zong Yu , Yi Meng , Wu Helen 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
For many high-reliability and long-life products, the accuracies of some existing life prediction models are not high enough, which may limit their fast development. For this purpose, four groups of constant-stress accelerated degradation tests (ADTs) were carried out by increasing the temperature of a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) cathodic filament, and the equivalent average luminance degradation model (EALDM) was proposed to predict VFD life. In this model, firstly, a two-parameter Weibull function was used to fit average test data at each accelerated stress, and the corresponding formula of luminance degradation was obtained. Secondly, a power function was determined to fit multi-groups of data points formed by an accelerated stress and time at different given luminance, and then the work time under normal stress was extrapolated. Finally, by reusing the Weibull function to fit the data points, including the work time and given luminance, the life prediction of products was achieved. The results indicate that the test design of constant-stress ADTs is correct and feasible; the Weibull function well reveals the VFD luminance decaying law at both accelerated and normal stresses, and the power function objectively reflects the relationship between work time and stress. It is found by comparing the predicted life with the reference value that EALDM has high precision, which paves the way for following research in life prediction methodology and acts as a guide for professional technicians.
Shear Moduli of Metal Specimens Using Resonant Column Tests
Authors: Kumar Jyant , Shinde Ninad Sanjeev 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The shear moduli of cylindrical metal specimens were determined by performing resonant column tests in a torsional mode of vibration. The tests were performed on four different metals, namely (i) aluminum, (ii) brass, (iii) copper, and (iv) mild steel. Keeping the length (L) of the specimens the same, different diameters (d) were chosen to vary the torsional stiffness and, thereby, the resonant frequency. Additional circular plates were attached to the top of the drive mechanism to have different resonant frequencies with the same torsional stiffness (KT). The shear moduli (G) were established by two different methods, namely (i) from the evaluation of KT and (ii) by first determining the mass moment of inertia (Jd) of the drive mechanism and then finding G from the measured circular resonant frequency (ωn). Both the methods provide exactly the same answer(s). For aluminum and brass, the measurement of the shear modulus was found to be much more accurate; the maximum variation of the shear modulus with diameter (8–12 mm/15 mm) for the same driving input voltage (torque) was around 3.3 % for aluminum and 1.2 % for brass. On the other hand, in the case of mild steel and copper, the variation of shear modulus was around 9.2 % and 7.2 %, respectively. The measured values of the shear moduli were found to compare well with the data reported from literature for the different chosen metals.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
The compressive strength of slag-blended cement paste under steam curing was evaluated using a nondestructive electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method. In the slag-blended cement paste, four slag replacement ratios (0 %, 20 %, 50 %, and 70 %) and two curing conditions (standard curing and steam curing) were employed. The topological structure of the EIS was analyzed, inclusive of the Nyquist diagram and the Bode diagram. In the analysis of the Bode diagram, a parameter called the diffusion impedance had an inverse ratio to the porosity of paste. Results showed that the diffusion impedance reduced with increasing the slag replacement ratio at 3 days, while the influence of the slag content on the diffusion impedance was negligible at 28 days. The diffusion impedance of slag-blended cement paste under standard curing was lower than that under steam curing at 3 days, while the difference at 28 days was not evident. In addition, an exponential model between the compressive strength and the diffusion impedance was proposed. A relatively weak relationship of the model was found in the paste containing 70 % slag, with 0.87 regression coefficient. Nevertheless, a strong correlation was found in the cement paste when the slag replacement was no more than 50 %, where the regression coefficient was above 0.95.
Discrimination and Prediction of Tool Wear State Based on Gray Theory

Published: December 2018

Abstract
In allusion to the problems that random noise causes that interfere with the extraction of wear characteristics from cutting vibration signals and cause low accuracy of lathe tool wear state discrimination and prediction, a new method was proposed in this study. The proposed method extracted the wear time-domain characteristics of tool vibration signals through wavelet packet transform and the correlation coefficient method. Next, noises in wear time-domain characteristics were reduced by singular-value decomposition. The gray proximity correlation between the characteristic data series corresponding to the initial cutting and current cutting was calculated and used to represent the characteristic of tool wearing and discriminate the wear state. The gray decision-making model of metabolism GM(1,1) was established based on the wear characteristic series and was used to predict the variation trend of tool wear state, thus deciding the necessity of cutting tool changing. Cutting wear experiments and wear state predictions were carried out on the ZCK20 numerical control lathe (Tuoman, Zhejiang, China) by using three pieces of WNMG080408-TM T9125 lathe tools (Tungaloy Corporation, Iwaki, Japan). Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method could eliminate noise effectively, acquire the optimal wear characteristics of tools, and discriminate and predict the wear state of tools accurately.
Integration of Growth and Cell Size via the TOR Pathway and the Dot6 Transcription Factor in Candida albicans

Published: December 2018

Abstract
In most species, size homeostasis appears to be exerted in late G1 phase as cells commit to division, called Start in yeast and the Restriction Point in metazoans. This size threshold couples cell growth to division, and, thereby, establishes long-term size homeostasis. Our former investigations have shown that hundreds of genes markedly altered cell size under homeostatic growth conditions in the opportunistic yeast Candida albicans, but surprisingly only few of these overlapped with size control genes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we investigated one of the divergent potent size regulators in C. albicans, the Myb-like HTH transcription factor Dot6. Our data demonstrated that Dot6 is a negative regulator of Start, and also acts as a transcriptional activator of ribosome biogenesis (Ribi) genes. Genetic epistasis uncovered that Dot6 interacted with the master transcriptional regulator of the G1 machinery, SBF complex, but not with the Ribi and cell size regulators Sch9, Sfp1, and p38/Hog1. Dot6 was required for carbon-source modulation of cell size, and it is regulated at the level of nuclear localization by the TOR pathway. Our findings support a model where Dot6 acts as a hub that integrates growth cues directly via the TOR pathway to control the commitment to mitotic division at G1.

A literatura de Caio Fernando Abreu como máquina de guerra
Authors: Costa Dhemersson Warly Santos , De Brito Maria Dos Remédios 
Published: December 2018

A máquina de guerra é um conceito criado pelos filósofos Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, que não tem relação com o poder bélico de um Estado, mas, sobretudo, é uma potência inventiva, imbricada em um nomadismo, capaz de fissurar as organizações da máquina estatal (sedentária), abalando suas estruturas, escapando dos sistemas dominantes, inventado linhas de fugas. O nômade, inventor da máquina de guerra, cria para si outros modos de habitar no mundo, inventa seu próprio território, vagando por trajetos indefinidos. Nesta perspectiva, a intenção desta proposta é tencionar ressonâncias entre o conceito filosófico de máquina de guerra e a literatura de Caio Fernando Abreu. Parte-se do pressuposto de que a máquina de guerra compõe o elemento (des) arranjador de toda a obra do autor, uma verdadeira máquina literária que explode em linhas de fuga por todos os lados, declarando a guerra dos sexos, dos desejos, das sexualidades, das identidades. *** The Literature of Caio Fernando Abreu as a war machine ***The war machine is a concept created by the philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, who has nothing to do with the military power of a State, but above all, it is an inventive power, imbricated in a nomadism, capable of fissuring the organizations of the machine state (sedentary), shaking its structures, escaping from the dominant systems, invented escape lines. The nomad, inventor of the war machine, creates for himself other ways of inhabiting the world, fashions his own territory, wandering on indefinite paths. The intention of this proposal is to consider resonances between the philosophical concept of war machine and the literature of Caio Fernando Abreu. It is assumed that the war machine composes the element (dis) arranger of all the author’s work, a true literary machine that explodes in lines of escape on all sides, declaring the war of the sexes, the desires, the sexualities, identities.Keywords: war machine; Caio Fernando de Abreu; Deleuze and Guattari; literatura.
Testemunho: entre a ficção e a realidade. Uma análise do romance Os Cus de Judas, de António Lobo Antunes
Authors: Adorno Karen Neves 
Published: December 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise a partir do viés memorialístico procurando situar a obra publicada em 1979, Os Cus de Judas, de António Lobo Antunes, como um romance de caráter testemunhal. Na obra, o autor descreve os vinte e sete meses em que combateu na guerra das colônias portuguesas situadas na África. Através de um narrador autodiegético, ele relembra seus tempos de criança e sua longa jornada na idade adulta como médico das Forças Armadas Portuguesa. Neste romance, Lobo Antunes provoca a diluição da tênue linha que separa ficção e realidade, o que se caracteriza pelo dilema presente no gênero testemunhal. A análise se deu a partir de autores como Assmann (2011), Derrida (2004), Lobo Antunes (2008), Reis (2005), Lejeune (2008), Seligmann-Silva (2003 e 2010) e Pollak (1989 e 1992). *** Testimonial: between fiction and reality. An analysis of António Lobo Antunes’ novel, Os Cus de Judas ***The present work aims to present an analysis from the memorialist perspective seeking to frame António Lobo Antunes’ book, published in 1979, The Land at the End of the World, in 2011, as a testimonial character novel. In his work, the author describes 27 months during which he fought in the Portuguese Colonial War in Africa. Through an autodiegetic narrative, the author recollects his infant memories and his long journey at adult age as an army doctor by the Portuguese troops. In this novel, Lobo Antunes provokes the dilution of the thin line between fiction and reality, which is a characteristic of the testimonial genre’s dilemma. The analysis is based upon authors such as Assmann (2011), Derrida (2004), Lobo Antunes (2008), Reis (2005), Lejeune (2008), Seligmann-Silva (2003 and 2010) and Pollak (1989 e 1992).Keywords: The Land at the End of the World; romance; testimony; fiction; reality.
