Authors: Shofwan Arif Muzayyin 
Published: November 2017

Sebelum para pakar Barat memperkenalkan metode belajar kepada dunia secara luas, sebenarnya Islam sudah memiliki metode belajar sendiri untuk para pelajar. Metode belajar tersebut telah ditulis oleh salah satu intelektual muslim abad pertengahan yang bernama Imam Zarnuji dalam kitab berjudul Kitāb Ta’līm al-Muta’allim. Tulisan ini bertujuan menelaah sekelumit biografi Imam Zarnuji dan metode belajar yang ditawarkan. Adapun metode penulisan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan riset perpustakaan dengan mengambil berbagai literatur yang sesuai dengan kajian. Tulisan ini menghasilkan dua temuan, yaitu: Pertama, Imam Zarnuji merupakan salah satu intelektual muslim abad pertengahan yang telah menulis metode belajar secara sistematis sebelum para pakar Barat memperkenalkan metode belajar modern. Kedua, dalam pandangan Imam Zarnuji, apabila para pelajar ingin sukses mendapatkan manfaat dari ilmu pengetahuan, maka ada dua hal yang harus dilaksanakan, yaitu: (1) hendaknya melakukan dengan benar ketika menapaki jalan atau metode dalam menempuh ilmu pengetahuan; (2) hendaknya melaksanakan syarat-syarat dalam menempuh ilmu pengetahuan. Dengan melaksanakan kedua hal tersebut, maka para pelajar akan mendapatkan ilmu pengetahuan serta mendapatkan manfaat ilmu pengetahuan yang dicita-citakan,
A Simplified Method for the Design of Steel Beam-to-column Connections
Authors: Kristóf Imola , Novák Zsanett , Hegyi Dezső 
Published: November 2017

The moment resistance of beam-to-column connections is frequently utilised in steel structures. Eurocode 3 suggests the component method to analyse such connections, and it implements the equivalent T-stub method to determine the resistance of the end plate of the beam. The latter method requires tedious and concentrated work. A simplified method is suggested to reduce the number of calculations and enable the designer to focus on construction aspects in the pre-design phase, or in education.The resistance of the T-stub covers three possible failure modes: the yield of the plate, the failure of the of the bolt and simultaneous yield. The yield of the plate and simultaneous yield depend on numerous parameters, and they are verified by multiple equations. The failure of the bolts are more easily checked.In the present paper, requirements for geometric ratios are defined for the widely used steel sections to assure failure of the bolts at a lower level of the load than the yield of the plate. These parameters facilitate the simple calculation of the resistance of the bolts instead of the tedious work needed for the end plate resistance.The paper presents a proper explanation for the design rules and the effect of the geometric parameters on the resistance of the end plate. Geometric parameters are suggested for the widely used hot rolled and typical welded beam sections. All the parameters fulfil the requirements of the equivalent T-stub method of Eurocode 3.

Abstract
We report high-resolution spectroscopic detection of TiO molecular signature in the day-side spectra of WASP-33b, the second hottest known hot Jupiter. We used the High Dispersion Spectrograph (HDS; R ∼ 165,000) on the Subaru telescope in the wavelength range of 0.62–0.88 μm to obtain the day-side spectra of WASP-33b. We suppress and correct the systematic effects of the instrument and the telluric and stellar lines using the SYSREM algorithm after the selection of good orders based on Barnard’s star and other M-type stars. We detect a 4.8σ signal at an orbital velocity of

km s−1 and systemic velocity of

km s−1, which agree with the derived values from a previous analysis of the primary transit. Our detection with the temperature inversion model implies the existence of a stratosphere in its atmosphere; however, we were unable to constrain the volume mixing ratio of the detected TiO. We also measure the stellar radial velocity and use it to obtain a more stringent constraint on the orbital velocity,

km s−1. Our results demonstrate that high-dispersion spectroscopy is a powerful tool to characterize the atmosphere of an exoplanet, even in the optical wavelength range, and shows a promising potential in using and developing similar techniques with high-dispersion spectrograph on current 10 m class and future extremely large telescopes.
Detection of Enhanced Central Mass-to-light Ratios in Low-mass Early-type Galaxies: Evidence for Black Holes?
Authors: Pechetti Renuka , Seth Anil , Cappellari Michele , McDermid Richard , Brok Mark den , Mieske Steffen , Strader Jay 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
We present dynamical measurements of the central mass-to-light ratio (M/L) of a sample of 27 low-mass early-type

galaxies. We consider all

galaxies with 9.7 < log(

< 10.5 in our analysis, selecting out galaxies with available high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data, and eliminating galaxies with significant central color gradients or obvious dust features. We use the HST images to derive mass models for these galaxies and combine these with the central velocity dispersion values from

data to obtain a central dynamical M/L estimate. These central dynamical

are higher than dynamical

derived at larger radii and stellar population estimates of the galaxy centers in ∼80% of galaxies, with a median enhancement of ∼14% and a statistical significance of 3.3σ. We show that the enhancement in the central M/L is best described either by the presence of black holes in these galaxies or by radial initial mass function variations. Assuming a black hole model, we derive black hole masses for the sample of galaxies. In two galaxies, NGC 4458 and NGC 4660, the data suggest significantly overmassive black holes, while in most others only upper limits are obtained. We also show that the level of M/L enhancements we see in these early-type galaxy nuclei are consistent with the larger enhancements seen in ultracompact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), supporting the scenario where massive UCDs are created by stripping galaxies of these masses.
Hétérogénéité des préférences individuelles, perception de la qualité et choix d’alimentation en eau potable en France
Authors: Beaumais Olivier , Veyronnet Paul 
Published: November 2017

Nous explorons les déterminants des choix individuels d’alimentation en eau potable en France. Parmi ces déterminants, nous nous concentrons plus particulièrement sur la qualité perçue de l’eau du robinet mesurée par le niveau de satisfaction déclaré par les individus. En réponse à une qualité perçue comme insuffisante, ou insatisfaisante, les individus peuvent adopter des comportements d’évitement et acheter de l’eau en bouteille ou des systèmes de filtration plutôt que de consommer directement l’eau du robinet. Toutefois, la qualité perçue de l’eau du robinet, comme prédicteur des choix d’alimentation en eau potable, est susceptible d’être endogène. Nous proposons donc une méthodologie novatrice, combinant l’estimation d’un modèle Logit multinomial à facteurs d’échelle ( scaled multinomial Logit ) et une correction de l’endogénéité par la méthode d’inclusion des résidus en deux étapes ( two-stage residual inclusion ). En utilisant une coupe instantanée d’environ 3 500 individus, nous montrons que le niveau de satisfaction est bien un déterminant des choix individuels d’alimentation en eau potable. Nous montrons également que la correction du problème d’endogénéité change sensiblement les résultats relatifs aux sources de l’hétérogénéité des préférences individuelles en matière de choix d’alimentation en eau potable.
Visual and Refractive Outcomes of Children After Early Secondary Cataract Extraction Following Wound Repair for Penetrating Ocular Trauma
Authors: Arora Kamaldeep , Arora Priyanka , Ganesh Suma , Gupta Shriya , Das Rashmi Ranjan 
Published: November 2017

Purpose:
To evaluate the visual and refractive outcomes in children 8 years of age or younger with corneal laceration and cataract following penetrating ocular injuries who underwent primary corneal tear repair followed within 1 to 8 weeks by early secondary cataract extraction.

Methods:
This retrospective, non-comparative case series reviewed the admission and operative charts of children 8 years of age or younger (range: 3 to 8 years) who underwent corneal wound repair as the primary surgical procedure followed within 1 to 8 weeks by cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation, with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. The main outcome measures were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and refractive error as the spherical equivalent at the final follow-up visit.

Results:
A total of 47 children (33 boys, 14 girls) were included. The mean age at the time of injury was 5.9 ± 2.2 years (range: 3 to 8 years). Follow-up periods ranged from 6 months to 3 years (median: 18 months). The mean time gap between the wound repair and cataract extraction was 5 weeks (range: 1 to 8 weeks). Approximately 36 (77%) eyes obtained BCVA better than 6/18. All but one eye achieved BCVA better than 6/60. The deviation from emmetropia was less than 1.00 diopter (D) in 23 (54%) eyes, 1.00 to 3.00 D in 15 (35%) eyes, and more than 3.00 D in 5 (12%) eyes.

Conclusions:
Early removal of cataract with intraocular lens implantation 1 to 8 weeks after the primary wound repair in young children with penetrating corneal injuries can result in excellent visual and refractive outcomes with early intervention and aggressive amblyopia treatment.

Resistant Infantile Bacterial Conjunctivitis in Egypt: A Microbiology Study
Authors: Hashish Aiman Abdeltawwab , Elbakary Molham Abdelhafez , Allam Waleed Abdelhady 
Published: November 2017

Purpose:
To study the microbiological aspects of infantile bacterial conjunctivitis resistant to empirical topical antibiotic therapy in Egypt.

Methods:
Ninety-two eyes of 86 infants with bacterial conjunctivitis were included in this prospective study. They all failed to show evidence of clinical improvement after 2 weeks of empirical topical antibiotic therapy. Conjunctival swabs were obtained from all patients for bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing.

Results:

The age of the participants ranged from 4 to 6 months. Culture results revealed infection with a solitary organism in 48.9% of eyes. Mixed bacterial growth was reported in 47.8% of eyes, whereas 3.3% of eyes showed no bacterial growth. The most commonly isolated organisms were
Staphylococcus aureus
,
Streptococcus pneumoniae
, and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
. These organisms were highly sensitive to fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and norfloxacin), followed by chloramphenicol, vancomycin, and amikacin, and were resistant to carbapenems (imipenem and meropenem), fusidic acid, and pipracellin.

Conclusions:
Bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing provides beneficial diagnostic and therapeutic information when dealing with infantile resistant bacterial conjunctivitis.

IL-33–Responsive Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells Are Regulated by Female Sex Hormones in the Uterus
Authors: Bartemes Kathleen , Chen Chien-Chang , Iijima Koji , Drake Li , Kita Hirohito 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) reside in multiple organs in the body, where they play roles in immunity, tissue homeostasis, and metabolic regulation. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of ILC2s in different organs. Here, we identified ILC2s in the mouse uterus and found that they express cell surface molecules, including the IL-33 receptor, ST2, that are roughly comparable to those expressed by lung ILC2s. Both in vivo and in vitro treatment with IL-33 induced type 2 cytokine production in uterine ILC2s, suggesting that they respond to IL-33 in a manner similar to ILC2s in other organs. Importantly, uterine ILC2s were nearly absent in ovariectomized mice and were increased in wild-type mice by estrogen administration, whereas lung ILC2s were unaffected by both ovariectomy and estrogen administration. Likewise, a marked reduction in uterine ILC2s was observed in mice deficient in estrogen receptor α or estrogen receptor β. Furthermore, uterine ILC2s highly expressed estrogen receptor α, and in vitro culture of isolated uterine ILC2s with 17β-estradiol modified expression of a number of genes. Finally, an increased prevalence in neonatal mortality was observed in litters from dams lacking the IL-33 receptor, ST2. Taken together, our findings indicate that unlike lung IL2Cs, uterine ILC2s are regulated by female sex hormones, which may specialize them for specific physiological functions.
Technology and Occupation: Past, Present, and the Next 100 Years of Theory and Practice
Authors: Smith Roger O. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
During the first 100 years of occupational therapy, the profession developed a remarkable practice and theory base. All along, technology was an active and core component of practice, but often technology was mentioned only as an adjunct component of therapy and as if it was a specialty. This lecture proposes a new foundational theory that places technology at the heart of occupational therapy as a fundamental part of human occupation and the human experience. Moreover, this new Metaphysical Physical–Emotive Theory of Occupation pushes the occupational therapy profession and the occupational science discipline to overtly consider occupation on the level of a metaphysical-level reality. The presentation of this theory at the Centennial of the profession charges the field to test and further define the theory over the next 100 years and to leverage technology and its role in optimizing occupational performance into the future.
Double Act
Authors: Nadel Ira 
Published: November 2017

“The story of Stoppard’s life is a compelling one and it is laid out with extraordinary detail in this first major biography” – Evening Standard
Double Act is the first major biography of one of the world’s celebrated most writers, From his early theatrical success as the youngest playwright ever produced at the National Theatre, to his Academy Award for Shakespeare in Love, Tom Stoppard’s work is renowned for its dazzling wit, invention and box-office appeal. But his real life is a more complicated affair still; and this acclaimed and authoritative book reveals the remarkable private story of a man who from childhood had to invent his own personality, and whose multi-layered dramas reflect the enduring contradictions of his life.
“An impressive biography ... it makes a good story out of that most unpromising subject, an unqualified and extended triumph.” Spectator
“Appealingly embellished with Stoppard’s shrewd witticisms about his work and full of keen perceptions of its own, Double Act offers an exhaustive and enlightening overview of a singular talent that is happiest when expressing itself in dual ways.” Sunday Times
“Nadel is excellent at providing an exposition of Stoppard’s ideas and the wider social context in which he lives.” Independent on Sunday
“A searching biography of this mercurial writer ... Nadel builds an engrossing picture of someone in continual self-reinvention.” Jewish Chronicle
“Stoppard’s playwriting career, unsurprisingly, constitutes the largest component of the biography, and the production details, gossip and contractual facts make for fascinating reading.” Irish Times
“If the genius of Nadel’s subject lies in paradox, it also needs genius to turn that paradox into an event. This book is one, and a palpable hit.” Good Book Guide
“Essential reading for all students of theatre.” Hampstead & Highgate

Victorian Theatricals
Authors: Hudston Sara 
Published: November 2017

A captivating study of the plays, literature and writings about private and public theatrical spectacle during the Victorian Age.
By the 1890s the British theatre had transformed itself into a world where spectacles and public shows were aimed at the widest audience possible. The theatre had become big business. This anthology brings together a variety of plays and prose which sets this phenomenon in perspective and traces the development of Victorian theatricals from private home events in the late-Georgian period to full-scale Gilbert and Sullivan operettas in the 1890s. The section ‘Theatrical Behaviour’ looks at the world of the audience and includes extracts from Jane Austen’s novel Mansfield Park; Thackeray’s Vanity Fair; an anonymous playlet called Acting Proverbs; and an extract from Marie Corelli’s novel Sorrows of Satan. In ‘Fun and Freaks’ we explore the world of popular, sensationalist entertainment through the eyes of Dickens, Thomas Hardy, Dion Boucicault and others. In the final section, ‘Society’, we have the scripts for four principal melodramas and serious plays of the age: The Factory Lad by John Walker; Society by T.W. Robertson; The Mikado by W.S. Gilbert and The Second Mrs Tanqueray by Arthur Wing Pinero.
Mastering the Audition
Authors: Soto-Morettini Donna 
Published: November 2017

Frustrating, nerve-wracking, job-winning or job-losing, flawed yet necessary - auditioning is a maddening business for everyone involved. The people behind the audition desk are looking for a killer audition (often under tremendous pressure), but most of the auditionees walk into the room feeling nervous, unprepared, and unable to control their own performance.
Although the idea of creating 'winning performance strategies' is common in business and sports studies, no one has ever really attempted to bring the psychology of creating a winning performance to a book on auditioning.
Drawing on some fascinating, cutting-edge research into how the brain copes and responds in high-stress situations, Mastering the Audition looks closely at the effects of fear, at our flawed ability to assess or really know ourselves, at what really drives us, and at what it really takes to master the audition experience.
Applicable to all areas of performing, including reality television, musicals, stage, film and commercials, this book helps you hone your performing skills and develop the mental toughness that can keep you going through the inevitable ups and downs of the audition process. Where other books advise you to 'be confident' and 'be prepared', Mastering the Audition tells you exactly HOW.
Euripides our Contemporary
Authors: Walton J. Michael 
Published: November 2017

'In this masterful reevaluation of Euripides, Michael Walton recasts the playwright in light of his resonance for today’s translators and directors. Springing from the rehearsal room rather than the page, Walton shows us not only why we are ready for Euripides, but why we so desperately need him.’ Mary Louise Hart, Associate Curator of Antiquities, J. Paul Getty Museum
‘A useful, reader-friendly introduction aimed at non-specialists, [it] offers detailed summaries of Euripides’ plays, along with keen observations on their relevance for today’s theater.’ Rush Rehm, author of Radical Theatre
Euripides Our Contemporary is a major new study of the work of the great classical tragedian that illuminates his work and demonstrates both its vitality and how it continues to speak to us today. Taking a thematic approach to Euripides’ plays it provides the reader with a wide-ranging and thorough appreciation of the writer’s entire canon. For students, teachers and practitioners this is the best single-volume treatment of the writer’s work, considering the plays for their accessibility and for their focus on issues and concerns which are as significant as ever in the modern world.
Divided into three sections, the book first examines ‘Domesticating Tragedy’, the manner in which Euripides gave the world of myth an application to ordinary life. The second section tackles the ‘Grand Passions’: characters under extraordinary pressure and the extent to which personal responsibility can be absolved through various aspects of circumstance. The third looks at the nature of Euripides’ theatre and his acknowledgment of it, the great roles and the playwrights of the last hundred years whose craft seems most influenced by his work. An Appendix at the end of the book provides a short summary of the plots of all nineteen plays.
