“Going for Broke” on Palestine
Authors: Steiner Barry H. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThis article, a corrective to long-time frustration experienced by the United States in mediating Israel-Palestine differences, argues for American recognition of a Palestinian state to reach a two-state solution. Recognition, though not even-handed, constitutes legitimate mediation, as confronting one or another primary antagonist can be a useful mediation strategy. Though Israel is likely to object tousrecognition of Palestine, analysis suggests the objection is not likely to lead to a break in Israel-American relations, which would jeopardize the valued Israel-American alliance. Recognition as a fallback option is recommended for the Trump administration’s way forward in mediating the conflict.

Objective:
To investigate feasibility and safety of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy in the management of prostate cancer while employing MR/CT fusion for delineation, fiducial marker seeds for positioning and Varian RapidArc with flattening filter free (FFF) delivery.

Methods:
41 patients were treated for low-intermediate risk prostate cancer with initial prostate-specific antigen of ≤20 ng ml−1, Gleason score 6–7. Patients had MR/CT fusion for delineation of prostate ±seminal vesicles. CT/MR fusion images were used for delineation and planned using flattening filter free modality. Verification on treatment was cone beam CT imaging with fiducial markers for matching. Patients had Radiation Therapy Oncology Group scoring for genitourinary and gastointestinal symptoms at baseline, week 4, 10 and 18.

Results:
Clinically acceptable plans were achieved for all patients, all plans achieved the objective clinical target volume D99% ≥ 95%, and for planning target volume D95% ≥ 95%. Rectum dose constraints were met for 95.1% for V18 Gy ≤ 35%, 80% V28 Gy ≤ 10%. A total of 32 (78.0%) plans achieved all rectum dose constraints.
Grade 1 acute genitourinary symptoms were 53.7% of patients at baseline, 90.2% [95% CI (76.8–97.3%)] (p = 0.0005) at treatment 5, falling to 78.0% (62.4–89.4%) at week 4, and 75.0% (58.8–87.3%) by week 10 and 52.5% (36.1–68.5%) (p = 1.00) at week 18.
Acute gastrointestinal symptoms were 5% at baseline, 46.3% [95% CI (30.7–62.6%)] at treatment 5, week 4 43.9% [95% CI (28.5–60.3%)], week 10 25.0% (11.1–42.3%), and declined slightly by week 18 [–20.095% CI (12.7–41.2)] p = 0.039. Overall 75.6% (31/41) of patients experienced Grade 1–2 toxicity during or after treatment.

Conclusion:
This planning and delivery technique is feasible, safe and efficient. A homogeneous dose can be delivered to prostate with confidence, whilst limiting high dose to nearby structures. The use of this technology can be applied safely within further randomized study protocols.

Advances in knowledge:
Multimodality imaging for delineation and linac-based image-guided RT with FFF for the treatment of prostate stereotactic ablative radiotherapy.
Kekerasan Intelektual Dalam Islam (Telaah Terhadap Peristiwa Mihnah Mu’tazilah)
Authors: Faiz Fahruddin 
Published: January 2018

Religious violence is a term that covers phenomena where religion, in its diversity, is either the subject or object of violent behaviour. Religious violence is, specifically, violence that is motivated by or in reaction to religious precepts, texts, or doctrines. Islam has been associated with violence in a variety of contexts, including Jihads (holy wars), violent acts by Muslims against perceived enemies of Islam, violence against women ostensibly supported by Islam's tenets, references to violence in the Qur'an, and acts of terrorism motivated and/or justified by Islam. Muslims, including clerics and leaders have used Islamic ideas, concepts, texts, and themes to justify violence. One among popular religious violence in Islamic History is mihnah (inquisition). To socialize Mu’tazilah teaching, Al-Ma’mun and his successors managed Mihnah or inquisition, that is the dispersion of this belief and teachings forcefully and even violently. As the ruler, Al Ma’mun thought that it was his duty to maintain the purity of the religion and the truth enforcement in the state community. As described in this article, Mihna is a kind of intellectual violence conducted by Mu’tazilah and Al-Ma’mun as a kind of coalition between religion and politics.

The existence of the world is getting older impact to the vulnerability of natural structure that ultimately ended the catastrophic events known. But, consciously or not, natural disasters are not always started from the already fragile condition of the world, but it was related to human intervention in the process. Morality is the basic for the creation of a harmony, not only between man and man but a man by nature, started to abandoned and forgotten, made worse by the existence of religion is often only seen as mere appendages identity. Impact, the stability of the world that has been designed in such a way by God became unstable and fragile, that lead to the occurrence of damage and natural disasters. In order to repair and restore the world's harmony, people are required to understand the values of morality and the nature of religion, because it should be the value of morality and religion become the main reference in behaving.

As part of the science , the study of hadith needs to get development and innovation. Therefore, it is necessary for the reconstruction of critical studies chains and Matan. This article will discuss the possibility of reconstruction critical studies chains and Matan hadith. Sanad criticism (kritik sanad) needs to be developed on the use of data derived from the book in addition to the books of Rijal that conclusion on levels of integrity and intellectual person can be formulated more accurately and emphasize objectivity. Meanwhile, critical studies of matan also need to be developed by applying the hermeneutical method in understanding the text of the Prophet, in order to reject the mindset of tasâhul in the weakness of traditions as well as traditions that gave birth to the meaning of its as shâlih likulli zamân wa makân.[Sebagai bagian dari ilmu pengetahuan, studi hadis perlu mendapatkan pengembangan dan inovasi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan adanya rekonstruksi atas kajian kritik sanad dan matan. Artikel ini akan membahas kemungkinan rekonstruksi kriitk sanad dan matan hadis. Kritik sanad perlu dikembangkan pada pemanfaatan data-data yang berasal dari kitab selain kitab-kitab rijâl agar konklusi atas kadar integritas dan intelektualitas seseorang bisa diformulasikan secara lebih akurat dan menekankan aspek objektivitas. Sementara itu, kritik matan juga perlu dikembangkan dengan menerapkan metode hermenetika dalam memahami teks Nabi, supaya bisa menolak pola pikir tasâhul dalam pendhaifan hadis sekaligus juga melahirkan makna hadis yang shâlih likulli zamân wa makân.]
PEREMPUAN YANG MEMBATALKAN SHALAT
Authors: Syaikhudin Syaikhudin 
Published: January 2018

The hadith that states that “Women, donkeys and dogs break prayers” is a controversial one. Because to many feminine thinkers, it subordinates women to the same level as those two other furry animals, and thus contradictory to universal values of humanity and equality and should therefore be rejected. What is also interesting to note is that this was also questioned in the time of the prophet by Aisyah, who claimed that this tradition insulted women and likened them to bad beasts. Such critical objection is controversial and vital, since Aisyah was one of the people close to the prophet and herself a prominent historical actor of the time.

Published: January 2018

This paper discusses the dynamics of violence against women in informal marital relations based on the experience and institutional data of RifkaAnnisa Yogyakarta. This paper will discuss the characteristics of victims and perpetrators in informal marriages, the dynamics of violence experienced by victims and the factors behind informal marriages. This research will affirm that all women who are victims of violence in informal and polygamous marriages experience physical, sexual, economic and emotional violence. The myth that second wives or young wives are pampered compared to first wives is disproved here. Even though it may happen occasionally, they are still at risk of economic violence. The most common form of economic violence are in the forms of abandonment or forcing their wives to work. Informal marriage and polygamous marriages continue to happen due to several conducive factors, among them: the low legal awareness of victims and lack of legal sanctions for perpetrators of informal marriages, the view that religion opens the possibility for informal marriages, the social paradigm which strengthens the superiority of men over women, family support and society’s permissiveness to informal marriages and the ongoing violence against women.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
In the first part of the study, we have pointed out that mining tourism is a new, undervalued and less used a form of tourism, geotourism. We present its definition and present its specifics that make it unique on such a scale - by which it can be defined as a separate form of tourism. Mining tourism can be thought to contain virtually all objects, phenomena and processes, which, from prehistory till today, were related to one of the oldest human activities - mining and their subsequent access to and inclusion in tourism. In the world, underground quarries are currently used for various purposes, such as environmental, cultural centers, concert halls, wineries, churches, warehouses, and tourist destinations.In the second part of the study, we deal with mining tourism on the example of the most extensive underground stone quarry in Slovakia. Quarry, Veľká Stráň currently serves as the goal of unorganized ‘mining‘ natural tourism as part of a geological site protected as a nature reserve. However, underground stone has the potential to become the destination of organized mining tourism not only for school educational excursions but also for the general public.
Sensitivity Study of Different RegCM4.4 Model Set-Ups – Recent Results from the TVRegCM Experiment
Authors: Chervenkov Hristo , Ivanov Vladimir , Gadzhev Georgi , Ganev Kostadin 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe oncoming climate changes will exert influence on the ecosystems, on all branches of the international economy, and on the quality of life. Global Circulation Models (GCMs) are the most widespread and successful tools employed for both numerical weather forecast and climate research since the 1980s. However, growing demands on accurate and reliable information on regional and sub-regional scale are not directly met by relatively coarse resolution global models, mainly due to the excessive costs affiliated with the use of the model in very high resolution. Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are important instruments used for downscaling climate simulations from GCMs. Main aim of the numerical experiment Tuning an Validation of Regional Climate Model (RegCM-TVRegCM) is to quantify the impact of some tunable factors in the RegCM set-up on the model outputs. Thus, on the first stage of the study, the skill of 20 different model configurations in representing the basic spatial and temporal patterns of the Southeast European (SE) climate for the period 1999-2009, is evaluated. Based on these outcomes, the present work is dedicated on more detailed inspection of the model set-ups with recognizable better performance. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient between the time series of the temperature and precipitation of the 6 most promising model set-ups and the E-OBS on monthly basis are calculated. The main conclusion is that this test does not reveal single one model set-up that definitely over performs the other considered ones.
Comparison of RNA-Seq Differential Expression Methods
Authors: Palejev Dean 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
There are many methods designed to find differentially expressed genes using RNA-seq data. Their outputs differ a lot, some genes are determined to be differentially expressed by most or all methods, and others - by very few or even by just one method. Here we derive a systematic approach to quantifying the proximity of such methods, allowing us also to discover patterns and to determine whether some of them are significantly different than others.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Hochschule Wismar, Germany, has been implementing Master programmes for international students since 1992. However, for most European universities, it is a rather new phenomenon. The purpose of the work is to analyse scientific literature on European higher education programmes for international students and to outline a theoretical framework of European higher education programmes for international students underpinning elaboration of new research question on master programmes for international engineering students. The research methodology comprises the study of the meaning of the key concepts of “framework”, “theoretical framework” and “international students”. Moreover, the logical chain of analysis is shown: theoretical framework → empirical study within a multicultural environment → conclusions. The case study research is applied. The empirical study was carried out at Hochschule Wismar, Germany in March 2017. Semi-structured interview served as the basis for data collection. The empirical findings allow complementing the elaborated theoretical framework consisting of the concepts on reasons for, language and impact of Masetr programme for international students with such a concept as European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Directions of further research are proposed. The novel contribution of the paper is the newly formulated research question on master programmes for international students.

Abstract
The PEESA II project promotes the exchange between German and Southern Africa’s students in order to increase the number of highly qualified experts in the field of renewable energies and the quality of curricula developed in the previous PEESA project. However, the students are from different cultures and with different educational backgrounds. The guiding research question is as follows: How to organize the exchange between German and Southern Africa’s students who are from different cultures and with different educational backgrounds? The purpose of the work is to work out the organizational model of intercultural and interdisciplinary students’ exchange underpinning analysis of the students’ evaluation of their participation in an intercultural and interdisciplinary team. The research methodology comprises the study of the meaning of the key concepts of “culture”, “intercultural” and “interdisciplinary”. Moreover, the analysis demonstrates how the key concepts are related to the idea of renewable energies. Explorative study was carried out during the PEESA II Summer School in Vanderbijlpark, South Africa, in 2017. The empirical findings indicate that the students evaluation of their participation in an intercultural and interdisciplinary team is positive. Directions of further research are proposed. The novel contribution of the paper is the newly formulated hypothesis.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
The human abilities to use nature’s materials and force to their benefit, by means of engineering applications has made the human development possible. Multiple factors have influenced the human development, sometimes accelerating it, other times slowing it down to annulation. Although it is known and accepted that creativity’s role is essential in engineering performances, the neglecting of creativity in engineering education is not understood. The graduates from Anglo-Saxon countries and Europe reduced creative potential and the lack of necessary abilities concerning the solving of the companies’ problems have been emphasized by specialists in education and governmental reports reinforces the need to creativity in engineering education. The diagram of engineering education presented in the paper defines in conceptual terms the way engineering study programs can be developed with an adequate creative composition. The evaluation of the students’ creativity level at the master and doctoral levels of engineering programs belonging to two European universities has shown the need for improving creativity solutions. The development of creative abilities can be realized by formulating creative objectives which are specific to learning: creative evaluating topics, open projects, answering topics, originality of solutions and the use of projects method.
An Evaluation Model of Colleges Pioneering Education Quality Based on Extension Theory
Authors: Xuehui Wang 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Based on matter-element and extension set theories, a novel evaluation method of colleges pioneering education quality is proposed. According to the actual situation of the school, the model of matter-element for pioneering education is established on the ideal of multi-factor optimization integration; pioneering education quality is evaluated by qualitative means based on the matterelement theory and quantitative means based on dependent function. Proposed method not only formally describes the status of the various effecting factors of pioneering education, but also gives an accurate evaluation of the pioneering education quality. In order to verify the validity and feasibility of proposed method, a college’ pioneering education is assessed as example.
Crime and Punishment in pre-Hispanic Nahua City-States Tenochtitlan and Texcoco
Authors: Vyšný Peter 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe article focuses on the delinquency existing in pre-Hispanic Tenochtitlan and Texcoco as a particular type of human behavior, having many concrete forms that the wider society perceived (and condemned) through certain concepts and that it sought to both prevent and suppress. The first part of the article deals with the reflections and forms of delinquency existing in Tenochtitlan and Texcoco. In the second part of the article the mechanisms of prevention and repression of delinquency are examined. Although the pre- Hispanic society existing in Tenochtitlan and Texcoco can be considered as a so-called shame culture, in the conclusion of the article it is suggested that it could be a shame culture, which over time has changed, to a certain extent, to a so-called guilt culture.
