MENGENAL RISALAH NUR KARYA SAID NURSI DAN METODOLOGI PENAFSIRANNYA
Authors: Syauqi Muhammad Labib 
Published: May 2018

An interpretation is a social product and the work of ordinary people, which is inappropriate to be considered a sacred thing and also it is not anti to be criticized. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi interpreted the Qur'an based on the context at that time. Nursi was not only reading the Qur'an from the limited text but was also understanding it relied on the belief of the correctness of the religious texts by using rational thinking approach. This paper will try to explore the methodology used by Nursi in greater depth by examining various Nuriâ€™s quotations of interpretation results in his masterpiece, the Risa>lah al-Nu>r. The methodology is closely related to the result of his thinking, in order to understand the author's line of thought comprehensively.
REPETISI DALAM AL-QURAN PERSPEKTIF AL-KARMANI
Authors: Munirah Munirah 
Published: May 2018

Repetition is a phenomenon of inside Qurâ€™an. Many verses are repeated, the repetition is not aimless but it has many secrets. This article studied the book entitle Asra>r al-Takra>r Fi al-Qurâ€™a>n by al-Karma>ni>. In that book, he mentioned the repetition verses specifically and explained the reasons and secrets. However, this book is not well known among the Islamic scholars. So, this book should be studied with scientific approach to find a knowledge of takra>r development in this era. The method is content analisys with historical and philosofical approach. With this method, I found some conclusions. First, Asra>r al-Takra>r fi> al-Qurâ€™a>n is a interpretation linguistic book with comparative method. Second, takra>r in al-Karma>niâ€™s view is a part of mutasya>bihat verses, the repetition of verses equally, sometimes with addition or shorting. Thirt, the secrets of takra>rin al-Karma>niâ€™s view are to show iâ€™jaz al-Qurâ€™an, to corraberate the meaning before or explain it spesially, and also to glorify.

Collaborative housing and blockchain
Authors: Nasarre-Aznar Sergio 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Access to housing is a crucial issue worldwide. It is still under discussion whether collaborative economy is enhancing or, on the contrary, constraining access. In this context, the concept of ‘collaborative housing’ (collaborative economy applied to the funding, access and organisation of housing) arises to address a range of situations that might potentially help people to access housing, such as co-housing or the so-called ‘intermediate tenures’. Disintermediation through blockchain technology, and the resultant effect of a reduction in the transaction costs of access to housing, is one of those trends regarding collaborative housing. Accordingly, the adaptation of the disintermediation mechanism to the real estate conveyance and land registry, as in many other sectors of the collaborative economy, is timely. This can be achieved by exploring the potential of this mechanism in enhancing traditional methods of this sector through possible technological solutions. This paper presents a preliminary discussion on the different types of collaborative housing and the potentials of the blockchain technology to facilitate access to housing in relation to real estate conveyancing and registration.

Authors: Bikov Dusan , Bouyukliev Iliya 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Some of the most important cryptographic characteristics of the Boolean and vector Boolean functions (nonlinearity, autocorrelation, differential uniformity) are connected with the Walsh spectrum. In this paper, we present several algorithms for computing the Walsh spectrum implemented in CUDA for parallel execution on GPU. They are based on the most popular sequential algorithm. The algorithms differ in the complexity of implementations, resources used, optimization strategies and techniques. In the end, we give some experimental results.
New Results on Binary Codes Obtained by Doubling Construction
Authors: Davydov Alexander A. , Marcugini Stefano , Pambianco Fernanda 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Binary codes created by doubling construction, including quasi-perfect ones with distance d = 4, are investigated. All [17·2r−6, 17·2r−6 − r, 4] quasi-perfect codes are classified. Weight spectrum of the codes dual to quasi-perfect ones with d = 4 is obtained. The automorphism group Aut(C) of codes obtained by doubling construction is studied. A subgroup of Aut(C) is described and it is proved that the subgroup coincides with Aut(C) if the starting matrix of doubling construction has an odd number of columns. (It happens for all quasi-perfect codes with d = 4 except for Hamming one.) The properness and t-properness for error detection of codes obtained by doubling construction are considered.

Authors: Osipov Dmitry , Titov Dmitry 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The following paper adapts the classical Zigangirov-Jelinek algorithm to the decoding of nonbinary block codes under severe mixed jamming. To ensure reliable communications in this scenario we combine reception techniques based on distribution free statistical tests with sequential decoding on syndrome trellises. It will be shown that the proposed approach can ensure relatively high transmission rate with reasonable complexity.

Authors: Lindner Johannes 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Entrepreneurs keep our economy and society vibrant by implementing new ideas, which is why our society needs people with entrepreneurship competences. The development of our entrepreneurship competences does not begin with the start of our professional lives, but is initiated in earlier phases of our socialisation. Entrepreneurship education can trigger and support this process. A common goal of entrepreneurship education is to strengthen entrepreneurs with value orientation for a sustainable society. All entrepreneurs of the future are in school today, the nature of their value-oriented education and their willingness to participate is shaped by today’s learning. This article provides information about entrepreneurship education, with a focus on Entrepreneurial Challenge-Based Learning for a sustainable future. Entrepreneurial Challenge-Based Learning touches on the basic personal and social issues of responsibility and autonomy and is intended to foster a culture of solidarity in our society.
Eco-Schools Indian Ocean: Relating Contemporary ESD Theory to Real Change on the Ground
Authors: Copsey Olivia 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Several high-level strategies devote special priority to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Given the seriousness of the ESD agenda in SIDS, it is vital that ESD programmes perform at a level where potential positive impacts on schools and communities can be realised. Contemporary literature on ESD has shed light on the most effective educational approaches for addressing the types of complex sustainability problems facing islands. This study set out to identify the types of changes which Indian Ocean ESD professionals are working towards on the ground, and how these relate to contemporary ESD theory. Despite the practical and urgent issues facing Indian Ocean SIDS, this research reveals a general rejection of traditional expert-driven instrumental/behaviourist approaches in favour of a dominant emancipatory approach and full grasp of the need for transformative change and a holistic ‘whole institution approach’ to ESD among ESD professionals in the Indian Ocean. The study goes on to illuminate how the professionals believe transformative change can be recognisable in Indian Ocean schools, and finally proposes four indicators for evaluation.

Non-storage summer
dry onion crop is among the top 10 agricultural commodities in New Mexico (NM),
USA. In 2000, NM was ranked the second in the nation as the leading state in
growing summer dry onion. According to USDA statistical records, onion
production or sales in NM was valued at $91.4 million. Mesilla Valley is one of
the major onion-producing regions of NM. Due to many years of drought in the
region and the concern for climate change, irrigation managers and decision
makers are interested in quantifying water use or evapotranspiration (ET) and
the number of acreage of onion crop grown in the Valley. This information can
then be used for managing the scarce water resources of the region. Plant phenology, Landsat-8 satellite data,
and USDA crop data were used to identify onion crops in the Valley (area of
about 47,000 ha) and to determine their consumptive water use or ET using
remote sensing Regional ET Estimation Model (REEM) from 2014 through 2016. Time
series of NDVI clearly identified Fall and Spring-season onion crops in the
Valley. REEM estimated Spring-season onion crop maximum ET of 973 mm in 2015 and
975 mm in 2016 during the growing season. These values compared reasonably well
to ET estimates of 894 and 955 mm for the same periods (i.e. 2015 and 2016)
using FAO-56 crop coefficient based method.
The methodology presented could be used in other regions to identify
onion crops and their consumptive water use.Key words:Onion, NDVI, Evapotranspiration, Landsat-8,

Crises in a Doctoral Research Project: A Comparative Study
Authors: Katz Reuven 
Published: May 2018

Aim/Purpose: To present quantitative results of an investigation that assessed crises reported by doctoral candidates while working toward their degree.

Background:	Crises that candidates encounter during their doctoral journey may lead to attrition from the doctoral program. A crisis in a doctoral project has several characteristics that must be understood in order to identify the crisis and, if possible, take corrective actions. Our study investigates various types of potential crises and the way candidates experience them.

Methodology: We conducted a survey among enrolled doctoral candidates at five universities in Israel and three technological universities in Western Europe. We compared the answers of Israeli Social Sciences and Humanities candidates with those of Israeli Science and Engineering candidates; we also compared the answers of Israeli Science and Engineering students with their Western European peers. We applied statistical analysis to identify and compare significant patterns of reported crises among these three groups of candidates. In addition, we tried to find significant relationships between the reported crises and selected parameters that characterize the candidates’ background and learning habits.

Contribution:	The research presents quantitative results of typical crises patterns in a comparative study. It shows that while many candidates experience crises, few seek professional assistance.

Findings:Our investigation showed that about 60% of enrolled doctoral candidates reported a crisis. Of the candidates who reported crises, about 70% did not seek professional assistance. Emotional crises were reported by a significantly higher percentage of Social Sciences and Humanities students than of Science and Engineering students. Conversely, expectation crises were reported by a significantly higher percentage of Science and Engineering students than of Social Sciences and Humanities students. Significantly, more Social Sciences and Humanities students reported economic crises than did Science and Engineering students. Students who experienced a crisis reported that it caused delays in the research and affected its quality. As a result of their crisis, over 25% of Science and Engineering students seriously considered terminating their studies.

Recommendations for Practitioners	:The results and discussion may be useful as a guide for advisers to better understand the formation of crises among their doctoral students.

Recommendation for Researchers:	The quantitative methodology presented in the paper may be applied to investigate additional phenomena in the field of doctoral studies.

Impact on Society	: The paper demonstrates that doctoral students are aware of potential crises due to the stressful environment they face. By reducing the number of crises, it may be possible to reduce the current rates of attrition, which have a significant impact on national economy.

Future Research	In future work we plan to expand the research to include the US in the comparative study.
