Purpose: To investigate the influence of absorbed dose distribution in the tumor volume on the values of
integral radiobiological criteria, such as the probability of local tumor control (Tumor Control Probability, TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP), based on synthetic dose-volume histograms (DVH), which enables to assess the treatment effectiveness and probability of complications
from healthy organs and tissues.
Material and methods: Synthetic dose-volume histograms were considered theoretically possible to analyze the dependence of equivalent uniform dose (EUD) on values of Nimirko model parameters and absorbed dose distribution for both tumor and critical organs. The calculation was carried out in Wolfram
Mathematica program based on the algorithm, where an array of absorbed dose values per fraction of
irradiation volume with step by absorbed dose was calculated for the given values of absorbed dose and
the parameter determining the width of distribution. The resulting array was differentiated to obtain
the differential DVH. The EUD values were obtained from the normalized differential DVHs.
Results: During analysis of EUD value dependence on parameter a values determining degree of nonlinearity of absorbed dose summation in sub-volumes of irradiation and on absorbed dose distribution
the following was revealed: for critical organs at high values of parameter a the essential role belongs to
high and average values of absorbed dose, and for tumors at low values of parameter a the main role belongs to the minimum value of absorbed dose. Thus, the value of parameter a should be negative for a
tumor, and positive for critical organs, and should be specifically defined for specific structures.
Conclusion: To improve the predictive value (prediction) of the effect of radiotherapy using the
TCP/NTCP Nimirko model, an adequate definition of the parameter a, the value of which can only be determined from absorbed dose distributions over the volume of anatomical structures within clinical trials, is necessary.

Women and Literature in Thornton Wilder’s The Ides of March
Authors: Simonetti Paolo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Although of the approximately 120 fictional documents and letters composing Wilder’s epistolary historical novel The Ides of March slightly less than half are ostensibly written by female characters, the author had to defend his work from at least one accusation of being unfair to women. The aim of this article is to investigate how Wilder gives voice to four famous women of ancient Rome—Clodia Metelli (supposedly Catullus’s model for the Lesbia addressed in his poetry); Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt; Julius Caesar’s aunt Julia Marcia; and the actress and courtesan Cytheris—by subverting traditional stereotypes and rewriting their personalities according to modern issues. Wilder’s Roman women are multilayered, ambivalent characters struggling to overcome gender stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes toward them through a strong connection with art and literature.
Trumpet: Revisiting and Reimagining Thornton Wilder’s The Trumpet Shall Sound
Authors: Scharff Jill Savege 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Trumpet Shall Sound (1919–20) is Thornton Wilder’s first known full-length, published, and produced play. The action is straightforward: While their master is away on a prolonged journey, three servants open the house to roomers for profit, but then they live in guilt and fear of discovery. The play was awarded a college literary prize and it attracted the attention of talented director Richard Boleslavsky, but his production received mixed reviews. Wilder considered rewriting the problematic final act, but instead he moved on to Pulitzer Prize–winning literary and theatrical projects. This article revisits The Trumpet Shall Sound and shows its value as a harbinger of its author’s later genius. In structure and themes, this early allegorical work foreshadows Wilder’s mature exploration of the microcosm of the everyday connected through religious and mythic sources to the universal. The article also describes how its author followed the characters, dialogue, and symbolism and drew on input from scholars as she reimagined Wilder’s play as Trumpet, her 2020 and 2022 adaptations.

Masjid adalah institusi keagamaan yang paling penting dalam Islam khususnya berkaitan dengan aspek pendidikan dan pembangunan masyarakat. Peranan masjid adalah amat besar melalui berbagai agenda, program dan projek pengimarahan agar masjid dapat dikembalikan untuk membawa penganut Islam kepangkuan Islam. Ini menjadi semakin signifikan ketika umat Islam hari ini menghadapi krisis akidah sosial, politik dan identiti Muslim yang kritikal Tujuan artikel ini ialah untuk membincangkan bagaimana masjid boleh melaksanakan fungsi dalam masyarakat Islam masa kini. Terdapat beberapa fungsi yang boleh dilaksanakan iaitu: pusat pendidikan formal dan non-formal; one stop centre (pusat satu hentian) ilmu dan masyarakat; pusat dakwah, pelindungan dan latihan saudara kita; pusat pembangunan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi ummah; pusat dakwah luar masjid; dan pemantapan pengurusan masjid.
Masjid is the most crucial religious institution in Islamic religion especially in regards of the educational and society developmental aspect. The role of a masjid within the society is huge as it can guide muslims to the righteous path through various agendas, programs and projects. The role of masjid becomes more significat as nowadays as muslims are plagued by the crisis of aqidah and identity, as well as social and political issues. There are a few roles that a masjid can play such as the formal and non-formal education center, a one-stop-center for knowledge and the society, the center of daqwah, a place for refuge and training for the new believers, the center for the society’s development of Information technology and communication, mobile center of daqwah, and a place to strengthening the management of a masjid.
TINJAUAN TEMATIK MENGENAI KETERLIBATAN WANITA DALAM PENGIMARAHAN MASJID
Authors: Abu Bakar Sahlawati , Abdul Majid Mariam , Dimon Zanariah 
Published: October 2023

Pengimarahan masjid merupakan satu tanggungjawab yang perlu dilaksanakan oleh semua orang Islam seperti yang ditekankan di dalam al-Quran dan hadis. Program pengimarahan masjid melibatkan jawatankuasa masjid serta masyarakat setempat yang berperanan menghidupkan segala aktiviti pengimarahan. Walaupun banyak kajian telah dibuat mengenai pengimarahan masjd, masih belum ada kajian yang meninjau secara tematik mengenai keterlibatan wanita dalam pengimarahan masjid. Tinjauan ini didorong oleh kepercayaan bahawa wanita mempunyai peranan dalam program pengimarahan di masjid sama ada sebagai jawatankuasa pelaksana atau sebagai peserta. Oleh itu, tujuan tinjauan sistematik ini adalah untuk mensintesis literatur mengenai keterlibatan wanita dalam pengimarahan masjid menggunakan ATLAS.ti 8. Pencarian kata kunci, diikuti oleh saringan menggunakan kriteria kemasukan dari pangkalan data Google Scholar, Research Gate dan Mendeley, mengenal pasti 51 artikel jurnal. Namun, setelah proses penyaringan, hanya 17 artikel yang digunakan sebagai artikel terakhir yang akan dikaji. Kajian tematik terhadap 17 artikel ini mengenal pasti 17 kod awal yang membincangkan wanita dalam aktiviti masjid dan dikelompokkan dalam lima aspek: adab wanita di masjid, aktviti umum, aktiviti wanita, skop imarah dan fasiliti. Hasilnya memberi manfaat kepada kajian masa depan mengenai peranan wanita dalam aktiviti pengimarahan masjid dan dapat menjadi panduan bagi jawatankuasa masjid terutamanya jawatankuasa muslimat dalam pengimarahan masjid.

The mosque imarah (enlivening) is a responsibility that must be performed by all Muslims as emphasized in the Qur'an and hadith. The mosque enlivening program involves the mosque committee as well as the local community whose role is to liven up all imarah activities. Although many studies had been done on mosque enlivening, there were still no studies that thematically review the involvement of women in mosque imarah. The review was driven by the belief that women had a role in mosque enlivening programs either as the committees or as the participants. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the literature on women’s involvement in mosque imarah using ATLAS.ti 8. Keyword search, followed by screening using the inclusion criteria on Google Scholar, Research Gate and Mendeley databases, had identified 51 journal articles. However, after the screening process, only 17 articles were reviewed. The thematic study of these 17 articles identified 17 initial codes that discussed women in mosque activities and grouped them into 5 aspects: women’s manners in mosques, general activities, women’s activities, the scope of imarah and facilities. The results were beneficial for future studies on the role of women in mosque imarah activities and could be a guide for mosque committees, especially Muslim women committees in mosque imarah.

Published: October 2023

Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk meneliti peranan masjid dalam melaksanakan aktiviti penerimaan dan pemberian bantuan kebajikan kepada ahli kariah ketika penutupan sementara masjid akibat PKP pandemik covid 19. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah kaedah kualitatif melalui penerokaan terhadap sumber kepustakaan yang merujuk kepada data dan dokumen rasmi jabatan, laporan akhbar, buku-buku dan artikel yang berkaitan serta laporan pihak yang berkepentingan dalam isu COVID-19 di Malaysia. Hasil daripada kajian ini menunjukan bahawa pihak masjid sebenarnya masih boleh menjalankan aktiviti penerimaan dan pemberian bantuan kebajikan kepada ahli kariah melalui kaedah norma baharu semasa penutupan sementara masjid akibat PKP pandemik covid 19 dengan pelabagai inisiatif yang kreatif. Implikasi kajian ini memberi kesedaran kepada umat Islam bahawa pihak masjid masih boleh menjalankan aktiviti pemberian bantuan kebajikan kepada ahli kariah melalui kaedah norma baharu walaupun pada saat masjid ditutup sementara disebabkan oleh PKP pandemik covid 19 dengan pelabagai inisiatif yang kreatif. Ianya bagi menggantikan norma biasa yang dilakukan sebelum ini. Melalui pelaksanaan kaedah norma baru tersebut, ianya boleh memberi manfaat kepada ummah secara keseluruhannya. Justeru, penutupan sementara masjid di sepanjang tempoh PKP berkuat kuasa tidak bererti aktiviti bantuan kebajikan seperti bank makanan (food bank) untuk kemaslahatan ummah yang telah dijalankan oleh pihak masjid sebelum ini juga turut ditutup dan terhenti sementara.

The objective of this study is to examine the role of mosques in implementing activities of receiving and providing welfare assistance to parishioners during the temporary closure of mosques due to PKP covid pandemic 19. The methodology used is a qualitative method through exploration of library sources referring to official data and documents newspapers, books and related articles as well as stakeholder reports on the COVID-19 issue in Malaysia. The results of this study show that the mosque can actually still carry out activities of receiving and providing welfare assistance to parishioners through the new norm method during the temporary closure of the mosque due to PKP covid 19 pandemic with various creative initiatives. The implications of this study are to give awareness to Muslims that the mosque can still carry out activities to provide welfare assistance to parishioners through the new norm method even when the mosque is temporarily closed due to PKP covid 19 pandemic with various creative initiatives. It is to replace the usual norms that were done before. Through the implementation of the new norm, it can benefit the ummah as a whole. Thus, the temporary closure of the mosque during the period of PKP in force does not mean that welfare assistance activities such as food banks for the benefit of the ummah that have been carried out by the mosque before are also closed and temporarily stopped.

The demand for a constant supply of energy is increasing day by day. To meet these increasing demands the natural resources must be utilized smartly. Coal can be a promising fuel due to its large reserves available in Pakistan. About 175 billion tons of coal reserves are found in Thar region of Sindh province. The major issue is the pre-processing cleaning of coal after it is mined out. A number of methods have been adopted to clean coal.
Presently, cleaning of Thar coal was carried out using froth flotation and water washing techniques. Three different particle sizes (-60#, -100# and -150#) were employed to study the effect of froth flotation on ash and sulfur reduction. Experiments were carried out in laboratory flotation cell and beakers under different set of conditions (i.e., flotation with and without collector and frother and by simple water washing). Kerosene oil was used as a collector and pine oil as a frother. Characterization of raw and treated Thar coal samples was carried out by ASTM standards. The results exhibited an inverse relationship of particle size towards efficiency of the cleaning process; thus, the optimal combustible recovery was attained at -150# particle size. Furthermore, FTIR results disclosed the presence of aromatic and aliphatic structure in treated coal samples. Thermo-gravimetric analysis was also made to determine the weight loss in raw and treated samples and observed increased combustion efficiency and reactivity of Coal.
