The Effect of Geographic Constraints on the Academic Achievement of Students at King Saud University Using GIS Techniques: A Case Study
Authors: Qoradi Mofareh
Published: March 2019

This research studied the effect geographic constraints of students' daily journey to King Saud University (KSU) on their learning achievement, their participation in extracurricular activities, and their visit of the university library. The data was collected from a random sample of KSU students that consisted of 854 students via an online survey during the academic year 2016.  The technologies of geographic information systems have been employed to build a spatial model to measure the distance and taken time for the daily student drive from their houses to the university.  30% of the students’ houses are at a 20 km distance from KSU, 35% of the students need about 40 minutes to arrive at the university, and 8% who need about one hour to arrive. Since Riyadh is urbanized, high in population density, and has a lot of traffic, theses distances and time students spend in their daily drives to the university are causing stress and exhaustion and affect students' academic achievement. 68.42% of students indicated that the location of their homes affects their learning achievement and 63.95% answered that it affects their attendance of activities in the university. Regarding visiting the library, about 58.16 responded that location of their homes affects library visits. The study clarified that there is a negative correlation between the students’ delay times and their academic rate, in other words as the delay times increase, students GPAs decline and subsequently, their academic achievement is less. Finally, the study suggested to specifying and rescheduling the work times for employees and students in Riyadh to reduce the daily drive times, the environmental pollution, and economic depreciation and help increase students' academic achievement by delaying the official working hours for Higher Education institutions by an hour; to start at 9.00 a.m. instead 8.00 a.m. as is currently the case.

Published: March 2019

The aim of the study was to prepare a program based on some of the principles of TRIZ (Innovative Solutions to Problems) to overcome some of the difficulties encountered by sixth-grade students. The study tools included a list of reading difficulties on two levels: identification and comprehension, the proposed program, teacher of the program  application of the program, and the reading-test  measuring  the effectiveness of the proposed program. Seventy male and female  sixth-grade students were randomly divided in two groups:  experimental and control. The study confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed program in treating  some reading difficulties. In addition, the students' reading showed a statistically significant difference at  (0.05). These differences have been established in the direction of the group and its relevance.
Dispareunia relacionada à via de parto: uma revisão integrativa
Authors: De Moura Tathiany Rezende , Carneiro Nunes Erica Feio , Latorre Gustavo Fernando Sutter , Maldonado Vargas Marlizete
Published: March 2019

No pós-parto, pode haver dor durante a relação sexual e disfunções do assoalho pélvico, que são associadas ao parto vaginal pela possibilidade de lesões perineais ou episiotomia, levando a indicações de cesariana eletiva como fator de proteção da função sexual. Assim, este estudo propõe analisar a relação entre parto por vaginal ou cesárea e a presença de dispareunia no período pós-parto. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados Lilacs e PubMed utilizando os descritores “Sexual Dysfunction, Physiological” e “Postpartum Period”. Foram encontrados 28 artigos, sendo incluídos 13 por se encaixarem nos critérios de elegibilidade. Os resultados mostraram que a dispareunia pode ocorrer em 24,0 a 85,7% das puérperas. Após o primeiro parto vaginal, 21,0% apresentam avulsão dos levantadores do ânus, mas 62,0% não são evidentes após um ano. A alteração do corpo perineal não está relacionada a laceração ou a função sexual, mas 32,5% das mulheres que relataram dor perineal no primeiro mês relataram dispareunia aos 6 meses. 85,7% relatam dor na primeira relação pós-parto e as que tiveram cesariana foram mais propensas a dispareunia seis meses após o parto. 31,5% das lactantes aos 6 meses e 24,1 a 28,3% das que apresentaram queixas psicossocias relataram dispareunia. Concluiu-se que a disfunção sexual pode ocorrer nos primeiros meses tanto no pós-parto por via vaginal quanto cesariana, mas após o primeiro ano do parto, a função sexual parece se restabelecer independente da via de parto, com exceção dos traumas perineais severos.

Community of Monogenea in populations of Cichla monoculus from two tributaries of the Amazon River in the Northern Brazil
Authors: Oliveira M. S. B. , Adriano E. Aparecido , Tavares-Dias M. , Corrêa L. Lima
Published: March 2019

This study compared the monogeneans community in C. monoculus from the Tapajós River (state of Pará) and Jari River (state of Amapá), northern Brazil. A total of 2188 monogeneans belonging to eight taxa were collected from the gills of fish: Gussevia arilla, Gussevia longihaptor, Gussevia tucunarense, Gussevia undulata, Sciadicleithrum ergensi, Sciadicleithrum umbilicum, Sciadicleithrum uncinatum and Tucunarella cichlae. Gussevia arilla was the dominant species for C. monoculus from the Tapajós River basin, while S. umbilicum predominated among the hosts from the Jari River basin. For the two populations of C. monoculus, the prevalence, mean intensity and mean abundance of monogeneans were different and the of parasites community had a high qualitative similarity (87.5 %). The monogeneans community of C. monoculus was characterized by high species richness, with infection values varying from low to moderate. The geographic distance and differences in environmental characteristics arising from the same did not influence the richness of species of monogeneans infesting C. monoculus in the Tapajós and Jari rivers, but appear to have been determinants in the differences observed in the structure of the monogenean communities in each region.
Capacity Building – Preparing Caribbean Public Sector Unions for an Economic Environment in Transition
Authors: Lorde Ann- Marie J
Published: March 2019

This paper seeks to examine the renewal of the Caribbean Public Sector trade unions (CPSU), and make a number of recommendations as it regards the capacity building and institutional strengthening of these unions. The paper begins with an introduction that lays the foundation for the discussion of capacity building for CPSU. It continues with a socio-historical background to the current difficulties facing the CPSU, and continues with an examination of a number of regional concerns for the CPSU. Based on the Regional concerns identified and the fact that CPSU need to step out of their traditional role of representation and, in addition, become concerned with national issues, the paper concludes with a number of recommendations for the way forward for the CPSU.Cet article examine le renouveau des syndicats du secteur public des Caraïbes (SSPC) et établit un certain nombre de recommandations eu égard à leur capacité de consolidation institutionnelle. L’introduction expose les éléments de fonds qu’il s’agit d’avoir à l’esprit pour comprendre la capacité d’action des SSPC. S’en suivent une présentation des conditions socio-historiques qui expliquent leurs difficultés actuelles, puis un examen des questions régionales auxquelles ils font face. De là, et prenant parti que les SSPC doivent sortir de leur rôle traditionnel de représentation, y inclus une prise en compte des questions nationales, l’article conclut en identifiant des voies d’avenir.
Pensions and Public-Private Partnerships: A Cautionary Note for Union Trustees
Authors: Calvert John
Published: March 2019

A major demand of public sector unions in recent years has been for greater control over their members’ pension plans. Recently, several provincial governments, most notably British Columbia, have agreed to joint trusteeship, a development which gives union trustees a voice in investment policy.This article focuses on the implications for union trustees of investments in Public Private Partnerships (P-3s) and related privatization initiatives. Examples of such investments include: transportation infrastructure projects, hospitals and health services, schools, municipal water and sewer systems, electrical utilities, and other projects that, historically, have been within the public sector.It argues that trustees should be wary of such investments. Public sector unions have criticized privatization initiatives as a threat to public sector jobs and services. P-3 investments are problematic because they may threaten the jobs of their union’s members, undermine the credibility of their union’s public policy objections to privatization and, in the end, may prove far more risky than P-3 promoters contend.

Published: March 2019

Aim: This study compares the reliability of brain CT interpretations performed using a diagnostic workstation and a mobile tablet computer in a telestroke context.
Methods: A factorial design with 1,452 interpretations was used. Reliability was evaluated using the Fleiss’ kappa coefficient on the agreements of the interpretation results on the lesion classification, presence of imaging contraindications to the intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) administration, and on the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS).
Results: The intra-observer agreements were as follows: good agreement on the overall lesion classification (κ= 0.63, p <0.001), very good agreement on hemorrhagic lesions (κ= 0.89, p <0.001), and moderate agreements on both without acute lesion classification and acute ischemic lesion classification (κ= 0.59 and κ= 0.58 respectively, p <0.001). There was good intra-observer agreement on the dichotomized-ASPECTS (κ= 0.65, p <0.001).
Conclusions: The results of our study allow us to conclude that the reliability of the mobile solution for interpreting brain CT images of patients with acute stroke was assured, which would allow efficient and low-cost telestroke services.
Interplay of Catalyst Structure and Temperature for NMR Signal Amplification by Reversible Exchange
Authors: Shi Fan
Published: March 2019

SABRE has brought up the many possibilities for chemical and medical researches. However, the current SABRE catalyst has multi-limitations, including the time-consuming activation, activation stability and temperature compatibility. In this report, synthesis of several variants of an iridium-based organometallic catalyst showed accelerated activation performance and enhanced stability, during NMR Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE) in solution under upon administration of parahydrogen (pH2)-enriched gas in methanol mixture containing the “variant” catalyst and the substrate (pyridine or nicotinamide). Furthermore, such series of newly discovered SABRE catalysts are opening a door to a much high activation efficiency and higher low temperature performances for the potential future applications in larger and more challenging application fields, as well the relevant theoretical study of SABRE mechanism.
HEVnet: a One Health, collaborative, interdisciplinary network and sequence data repository for enhanced hepatitis E virus molecular typing, characterisation and epidemiological investigations

Published: March 2019

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a common cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. In Europe, HEV is a zoonosis transmitted via contaminated pork meat or other pork food products. Genotype 3 is the most prevalent HEV type in the animal reservoir, as well as in humans. Despite an increased incidence of hepatitis E across Europe, much remains unknown about its spread, sources and transmission routes. A One Health approach is crucial to better understand the (molecular) epidemiology of HEV. HEVnet was established in April 2017 as a network and database for sharing sequences and accompanying metadata collected from human, animal, food and environmental sources. HEVnet members working in the public health, veterinary health, food, environmental and blood safety sectors have submitted 1,615 HEV sequences from nine countries as at January 2019. Most are from humans (89%), and sequences of animal (5%), food (6%) or environmental (0.3%) origin are rare. Metadata for human sequences capture mostly sex (93%), year of birth (92%) and sampling (100%); data on region of sampling (37%) and clinical information (hospitalisation 27%, symptoms 20% or mortality 8%) are limited. HEVnet aims to expand into a global network capable of performing cross-sectoral and supranational studies, with a joint repository of molecular and epidemiological data on HEV.

These sentinel tourists support the intensification of chikungunya virus circulation in Thailand and highlight the potential for importation to areas at risk of local transmission.
Die Macht des Anfangs
Authors: Vismann Cornelia
Published: March 2019

Der Text skizziert eine kurze Theorie der Macht, die den Begriff aus der klassischen Engführung mit Herrschaft, Zwang und Gewalt entbindet und dessen Produktivität für Gesetzgebung und Rechtsprechung freilegt. Ausgehend von den Institutionen des Gaius, einem Lehrbuch aus dem 2. Jh., das im 6. Jh. als Vorlage für die Rechtskodifikation des Kaisers Justinian (corpus iuris civilis) diente, wird gezeigt, wie römische Institutionen die Rechtsförmigkeit unserer Rede von Personen, Dingen und Handlungen instituiert haben.

The paper outlines a brief theory of Power that frees the notion from its accustomed association with sovereignty, coercion and violence and uncovers its productivity for legislation and jurisdiction. Starting from Gaius' , a legal textbook from the 2 century that served as a model for Emperor Justinian's codification of law (, 6th century), the paper shows how Roman institutions established the legal structure of speech referring to persons, objects and actions.
Forensische Architektur

Published: March 2019

Entlang zweier ineinander verschränkter Erzählungen – einer epistemischen Verschiebung im Internationalen Recht, in der die Bedeutung forensischer Praktiken schrittweise auf Kosten derjenigen menschlicher Zeugen zugenommen hat, und der Karriere des »Kampfschadengutachters« Marc Garlasco – wird die Entstehung einer analytischen Methode zur Untersuchung von Gewaltereignissen, wie sie sich in räumliche Artefakte und gebaute Umgebungen einschreiben, und deren Rolle in der Untersuchung von Kriegsverbrechen verfolgt.

Moving along two intertwining narrations – the epistemic shift in International Law towards an emphasis on forensic practices to the detriment of human witnesses and the career of »battle damage assessor« Marc Garlasco – the paper follows the development of an analytical method to examine events of violence that inscribe themselves in spatial artifacts and constructed environments, and outlines the method's role in the investigation of war crimes.
Digitaler Stil

"In der Architektur kamen digitale Werkzeuge bereits frühzeitig zur Anwendung. Seit den frühen 1990er Jahren bereiteten digitale Entwurfstheorien dem digital turn den Weg und nahmen ihn oftmals vorweg. Im Mainstream angekommen, scheinen digitale Technologien nun einen neuen und umfassenden Stil der digitalen Fabrikation zu fördern – allerdings keinen, den die Architekten im Sinn hatten und keinen, der allen Architekten gefallen dürfte.

In architecture digital tools began to be used relatively early. Since the early 1990s, theories of digital sketching prepared the way for the and even anticipated it in some cases. Having moved mainstream, the most recent digital technologies seem to foster a new and comprehensive style of digital fabrication – albeit none that the architects would have had in mind, nor one that would please all architects.

Published: March 2019

Der Beitrag stellt die These auf, dass der Einfluss digitaler Bilder auf visuelle Kultur nur verstanden werden kann, wenn die spezifische Materialität dieser Artefakte bedacht wird. Anhand einer Analyse des berühmten Utah teapot werden fünf materiale Schichten unterschieden, darunter Herstellung, Codierung, forensische und epistemische Materialität, sowie der Begriff der Trans-Materialität. Jede Schicht wird in Beziehung zu theoretischen Konzepten von Materialität in Medienwissenschaften, Kunstgeschichte, Computerwissenschaft und Anthropologie diskutiert.

This article argues that the impact of digital images on visual culture can only be understood if the specific materiality of these artefacts is taken into account. An analysis of the famous distinguishes five material layers, including making, coding, forensic and epistemic materiality, as well as the notion of trans-materiality. Each layer is developed in relation to theoretical concepts of materiality in media studies, art history, computer science, and anthropology.
Debatte: Web 2.0
Authors: Lovink Geert , Heidenreich Stefan
Published: March 2019

"In der aktuellen Ausgabe der Zeitschrift für Medien- und Kulturforschung wird über die Zukunft der Social Media gestritten. Geert Lovink und Stefan Heidenreich debattieren über den Sinn und Unsinn von Netzkritik angesichts einer veränderten Nutzung und Wahrnehmung des Internets, die sich hinter dem Schlagwort Web 2.0 verbirgt. Lovink sieht die zunehmende Tendenz zur Monopolisierung im Web 2.0 kritisch. Die Nutzer lassen sich von walled gardens begeistern, die Großunternehmen ihnen vorsetzen. Netzkritik solle sich daher nicht in der Frage erschöpfen, wie man Facebook und Twitter am besten nutzen kann, sondern sich mit echten Alternativen im Netz auseinandersetzen. Unabhängig davon, wie nachvollziehbar der Bedarf an praktischen Informationen und die Dominanz ökonomischer Interessen ist, geht es Lovink vor allem um künstlerische Alternativen und eine aktivistische Nutzung der Netze. Es sei an der Zeit, dass Entwickler, Programmierer, Freaks und Nerds aller Nationen sich die dunklen Seiten der ökonomisch-staatlichen Kontrolle des Internets bewusst machen und dagegen aktiv werden. Heidenreich ist dagegen skeptisch. Im Gegensatz zum Projekt der Netzkritik verfolgt er einen strikt medialen Ansatz, der sich gegenüber einer ethischen oder engagierten Beobachtung sozialer Medien kühl gibt. Die Heroisierung von Hackern und Nerds ist aus seiner Sicht von Science Fiction und Nostalgie geprägt, die an der Realität 2.0 vorbeigeht. Die neue Internetgeneration, die mit dem Medium aufgewachsen ist, habe gar kein ausgeprägtes Interesse an Netzkritik, sondern nutze die gegebenen Netzwerkfunktionen auf unterschiedliche Weise.

The current issue of the presents a discussion of social media's future. and debate the sense and non-sense of network-critique in light of the internet's modified usage and perception, which is commonly labeled Web 2.0. Lovink is critical about the increasing tendency towards monopolization in Web 2.0. Users, he contends, become thrilled by , which are presented to them by big companies. Independent of the question whether the need for practical information and the prevalence of economical interests is understandable or not, Lovink is most of all concerned with artistic alternatives and an activist usage of the nets. According to him, it is time for developers, programmers, freaks and nerds of all nations to become conscious of and active against the dark sides of economical and political control over the internet. Heidenreich, on the other hand, is skeptical. In contrast to the project of network-critique, he pursues a rigorously medial approach, which presents itself as unimpressed by ethical or engaged observations of social media. In his view, the heroization of hackers and nerds is informed by Science Fiction and nostalgia, both of which miss Reality 2.0. Heidenreich asserts that the internet's new generation, which has grown up with the new media, is not particularly interested in network-critique, but uses the given internetservices in various ways.

Dinge im Kollektiv
Authors: Rölli Marc
Published: March 2019

Husserls Analyse der Wahrnehmung und Heideggers Zeittheorie sind beide in ihrem Theorieaufbau auf die Gegenständlichkeit der Gegenstände – oder auf den Gegenstandsbezug der Erfahrung und seine wesensmäßige Konstitution – fixiert. Hierin spiegelt sich, bei Heidegger explizit, Kantisches Erbe. Diese phänomenologische, transzendentalphilosophische Relevanz des Gegenstands verweist im Kern auf Intentionalität – und damit auf eine objektbezogene Selbstüberschreitungsfigur der Subjektivität. Ganz anders bestimmt Latour den Stellenwert der Dinge im Kollektiv, wenn er ihnen eine Handlungsmacht zuschreibt, die den traditionellen Gegensatz zwischen Handlungssubjekten und Objektbehandlung einklammert. Der folgende Beitrag kreist den kritischen Punkt ein, der in der Theoriebildung zur Verzweigung phänomenologischer und ANTistischer Ansätze führt. Während sich die Phänomenologie im Zuge einer begrifflichen Rekonstruktion der Erfahrung von Gegenständen konsolidiert, ist die ANT auf die Beschreibung von Handlungsstrukturen ausgerichtet, die sich aus Aktanten aller Art zusammensetzen. Abschließend stellt sich die Frage, ob nicht die kollektivistische Soziologie Latours von dem methodischen Solipsismus der Phänomenologie lernen kann, dass es eine konstruktive Dimension und Machtfülle der deskriptiven Arbeit gibt, die nicht einfach den Akteuren überhaupt, sondern vor allem der Analytikerin überlassen ist?

Husserl's analysis of perception and Heidegger's theory of time are both fixated on the objectivity of objects - or the objectrelation of experience and its essential constitution. This reflects - and in the case of Heidegger quite explicitly - Kantian heritage. This phenomenological, transcendental relevance of the object essentially refers to intentionality - and thus an object-related figure of self-transcending subjectivity. Quite differently, Latour determines the status of things in the collective, ascribing to them an agency that brackets the traditional opposition between acting subjects and passive objects. The contribution encircles precisely that critical point which leads to the separation of phenomenological and ANTistical approaches. While phenomenology grounds itself by reconstructing the experience of objects, ANT focuses on the description of the structures of action, which are composed of actants of all kinds. Finally, the question arises whether Latour's collectivist sociology can learn from phenomenology's methodological solipsism that there is a constructive dimension and plenitude of power in the work of description that is not just left to actors in general, but above all to the analyst herself?
Mobile Mediatope
Authors: Nitsch Wolfram
Published: March 2019

Verkehrsmittel lassen sich als Medien betrachten, die auf die Wahrnehmung des Raums einwirken, aber auch als Milieus, die bestimmte Formen sozialer Interaktion erzeugen. Um beide Perspektiven aufeinander zu beziehen, umreißt der Beitrag eine Topologie der Fahrzeuge anhand von Stadttexten aus der französischen Literatur der Gegenwart. Aus deren eingehender Darstellung bestimmter Verkehrsmittel geht hervor, dass literarische Texte nicht allein fahrzeugspezifische Weisen der Raumerfahrung entziffern, sondern darüber hinaus auch in Auseinandersetzung mit einer überkommenen Transportkultur originelle Praktiken des Fahrzeuggebrauchs ersinnen.

On the one hand, means of transport can be considered as media which shape the perception of space; on the other, they can be considered as milieus which produce certain forms of social interaction. In order to relate both perspectives to each other, the present contribution outlines a topology of vehicles, drawing upon contemporary French literature set in cities. Their detailed representation of certain means of transport shows that literary texts not only decipher modes of spatial perception that are specific to certain vehicles, but also devise new ways of using vehicles through their involvement with an outdated culture of transport.
Die Emergenz von Wissen und das Plagiat in Goethes wissenschaftstheoretischen Schriften
Authors: Reulecke Anne-Kathrin
Published: March 2019

In Johann Wolfgang von Goethes wissenschaftstheoretischen Texten Der Versuch als Vermittler von Objekt und Subjekt (1793) und Meteore des literarischen Himmels (1820) geht es um die grundlegende epistemologische Frage, wie Wissen entsteht: Sie fragen danach, wie Wissenschaftler aus den Beobachtungen der Naturphänomene allgemeingültige Erkenntnisse gewinnen können und inwieweit der einzelne Forscher von der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft beeinflusst wird. Goethes Schriften werden hier als Alternativen zu den aktuellen Diskussionen um wissenschaftliche Plagiate – mit ihrer Neigung zur Personalisierung und zum Skandal – vorgestellt. Goethe zeigt, dass die enge Kopplung von Wissen an ein einziges Subjekt weniger der wissenschaftlichen Praxis entspricht, als vielmehr das Ergebnis einer spezifischen Zuschreibungspraxis ist. Das kritikwürdige Plagiat erscheint somit auch als eine logische Konsequenz des Prioritätsgebots der modernen Wissenschaftskultur.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's texts on the philosophy of science (The Experiment as Mediator Between Object and Subject, 1793) and (Meteors of the Literary Sky, 1820) both discuss the fundamental epistemological question how knowledge emerges: They ask how scientists can gain universally valid knowledge by observing natural phenomena and to what extent the individual researcher is affected by the scientific community. In this paper, Goethe's writings are presented as alternatives to the contemporary discussions on scientific plagiarism. Goethe shows that the linking of knowledge to an individual subject is less an effect of scientific practice than the result of a specific practice of attribution. Plagiarism thus appears as a logical consequence of the principle of priority in modern scientific culture.
The Rules of Attraction: Urban Design, City Films, and Movement Studies
Authors: Frahm Laura
Published: March 2019

"William H.Whyte’s instructional film The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces (1979), which chronicles the findings of his decade-long study of people’s behavior in small urban spaces in New York City in the 1970s, offers a precise analysis of the rules of attraction that draw people into places and that keep them attached. By combining direct observation with complex technical arrangements and new forms of movement studies, Whyte’s study advocates a quintessentially process-oriented understanding of ‘placemaking’ that shaped a new bottom-up approach to urban design in the 1970s.

Disassembling the »SAN DOMINICK«. Sovereignty, the Slave Ship, and Partisanship in Herman Melville's Benito Cereno
Authors: Robinson Ben
Published: March 2019

Melville’s Benito Cereno (1855) concentrates a historico-political problematic in the figure of a ship named ›SAN DOMINICK‹. This paper focuses on the distinctive political character of the slave ship in revolt.The partisan uprising produces an interrogation of the concept of sovereignty and the operations of exclusion on which it is premised. Superimposing the sovereign ship of state and the slave ship, Melville’s novella presents a relation constitutive of the Atlantic world.
Von Ganzheiten zu Kollektiven. Wege zu einer Ontologie sozialer Formen
Authors: Descola Philippe
Published: March 2019

Im Anschluss an die Methoden der strukturalen Anthropologie und an Bruno Latour diskutiert der Beitrag Gesellschaften nicht als Ganzheiten Durkheimscher Prägung, sondern als Kollektive. Entlang der basalen Dualität zwischen materiellen Prozessen (Körperlichkeit) und mentalen Zuständen (Innerlichkeit) werden dabei vier Haupt-Ontologien sozialer Formen vorgestellt, in denen die beiden Achsen jeweils spezifische Kontinuitäten und Differenzen zwischen Menschen und Nichtmenschen eines Kollektivtyps regeln: Animismus, Totemismus, Naturalismus und Analogismus.

Following the methods of structural anthropology and Bruno Latour, the contribution discusses societies not as wholes in Durkheim’s sense but as collectives. Along the fundamental duality between material processes (corporeality) and mental states (inwardness) four main ontologies of social forms are presented, in which the two axes regulate specific continuities and differences between humans and non-humans of a collective: animism, totemism, naturalism and analogism.
Phänomene, Probleme und Aktanten der Gleichzeitigkeit. Eine sozial- und medientheoretische Skizze
Authors: Ziemann Andreas
Published: March 2019

"Der Aufsatz rekonstruiert im ersten Teil sozialphänomenologische Beschreibungen der leibfundierten Erfahrung von Gleichzeitigkeit. Abstrakte Zeitvorstellungen und Zeitkategorien sind dem nachgeordnet und werden mittels Sprache objektiviert. Im zweiten Teil wird mit Bezug auf die soziologische Systemtheorie die Perspektive umgedreht und diskutiert, ob Gleichzeitigkeit nicht vielmehr ein nachrangiger Modus sozialer Beziehungen sowie des inneren Bewusstseinsstroms ist und grundlegend auf Welterfahrung und Techniken der Uhrenkoordination respektive Isochronie beruht. Abschließend wird untersucht, wie moderne elektronische Massenmedien, insbesondere das (Live-)Fernsehen, weltweite Synchronisation herstellen und diese eigenständig manipulieren.

In its first part, the article reconstructs descriptions of corporal perception of simultaneity. Abstract concepts and categories of time are secondary to these perceptions and objectified by means of language. In a second part, with reference to system theory, the perspective is turned around, so that simultaneity is discussed as a secondary mode of social relations and the inner stream of consciousness; in this view, simultaneity is based on world experience and techniques of synchronization. In conclusion, the paper analyses how modern electronic mass media and especially (live) television produces and manipulates autonomously worldwide synchronization."
Jedes Medium braucht ein Modicum
Authors: Thielmann Tristan
Published: March 2019

Durch die ANT sind zwei Forschungsfelder umrissen: Medien der Agentschaft und Agenturen der Medien, die in ihrer Verschränkung den Ansatzpunkt einer Akteur-Medien-Theorie (AMT) bilden. Da derzeit in einer Reihe von Analysen die Dreifachrolle der Medien als intermediary, mediator und device untersucht wird, schlägt der Aufsatz vor, den verfahrenstechnischen Begriff des Hilfsmediums für die AMT anzuwenden. Durch die hilfsmediale Ein-/Zuschreibung von Medien und Werkzeugen soll deutlich werden, dass man nicht vorab festlegen kann, wo man die Medien in einer Handlungsverknüpfung findet, und dass der Anteil der Medien an der Verkettung von Handlungsinitiativen nicht fixiert ist. Gleichwohl ist ein modicum der Medien notwendig.

outlines two fields of research: and , which in their entanglement form the starting point of an actor-media theory (AMT). Since the triple role of media – as , and – is currently being studied in a series of analyses, this paper suggests to introduce the procedural concept of the auxiliary medium to AMT. By the auxiliary in- and adscription of media and tools it should become clear that one cannot determine in advance where to find in the complex of an action, and that the media's part in the concatenation of action initiatives is not fixed. In any case, a of media is necessary.

Plädiert wird für eine Kombination der ANT mit bereits etablierten Modellen der mikropolitischen Medienanalyse, nicht für deren Ersetzung. Am Beispiel der Fernbedienung wird eine solche Kombination durchgespielt.

The paper discusses the actor-network theory (ANT) in the context of a post-essentialist thinking within media studies. It studies the similarities and differences between the models: dispositive, structure and actants network. It argues for a combination – and not a replacement – of ANT with already established models of micro-political media analysis and puts it to the test using the example of the remote control.

The way in which the Republic of Croatia founds the legitimacy of judiciary duties and thereby enhances the rule of law is analyzed in this paper. It is aimed in particular at the legitimacy of administrative judges upon resolving administrative disputes and passing judgements. To this aim, the independence of administrative judges is considered as well as the mechanisms to which the independence of judicial powers contribute. Then, the way judges are appointed is analyzed, which results in whether citizens can trust the judges’ expertise and moral values. Also analyzed is the mechanism for establishing the expertise of judges through evaluating judges' implementation of duties. Finally, the legitimacy of administrative judges' decisions is also considered through the composition of the court in first instance administrative judicial decisions and through the trust given by citizens in the resolution of administrative disputes according to the individual judge. How administrative court judges in the Republic of Croatia are appointed and assessed in the same way as judges of other regular or specialized courts and how the question of independent implementation of judicial duties correlates regardless of the court wherein the judge is appointed for judicial duty make up a large part of the conclusions related to all judges in the Republic of Croatia. This paper therefore in some way exceeds the very problem area of rule of law and administrative judge legitimacy.

Financiranje jedinica lokalne i područne (regionalne) samouprave

The territorial organization of modern states rests on the principles of decentralization, which includes the political, administrative and financial independence of the lower levels of government. It is a fundamental principle that no function, no job or task can be assigned to a certain level of government or body of government without the funds being provided. Local and regional selfgovernment are one of the most important areas of strategic importance for the development of democratic and quality public policies in the Republic of Croatia. The relationship between local and regional self-government and users can also be seen as a parallel process of strengthening the responsibility of local units for overall quality and «offering» public services in the local area. Therefore local and regional self-government have the right to various sources of funding in order to be able to carry out their tasks, or to provide, to a greater or lesser degree, better public services to their users.

One major sustainable development goal is to produce chemicals and fuels from renewable resources, such as biomass, rather than from fossil fuels. A key part of this development is data on the properties of chemicals that appear in this bio-based supply chain. Many of the chemicals have yet to be studied thoroughly, and data on their properties is lacking. Here we present new experimental data on the properties of 11 bio-compounds, along with PC-SAFT parameters for modeling their properties. The measured data includes vapor pressures, compressed densities, and refractive indexes. The 11 bio-compounds are tetrahydrofuran, 2-pentanone, furfural, 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol, 2-methylfuran, dihydrolevoglucosenone, cyclopentyl methyl ether, 2-sec-butylphenol, levoglucosenone, γ-valerolactone, and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol.

Reconstituting We the People: Frederick Douglass and Jurgen Habermas in Conversation
Authors: Gowder Paul
Published: March 2019

In a condition of genuine egalitarian inclusion, a “constitutional conception” of popular sovereignty derived primarily from the “constitutional patriotism” associated with Jürgen Habermas can resolve the key challenges associated with the countermajoritarian problem in constitutional theory as well as the problem of constituent power in democratic theory. It does so by providing a conceptual basis for an understanding of the the constitutional demos as a corporate body extending across time capable of ongoing legitimation. However, the constitutional conception cannot justify states, such as the United States, characterized by the durable exclusion of some legitimate members of the polis from political institutions. Even under the constitutional conception, the United States is not a legitimate constitutional democracy in virtue of its treatment of Black Americans. Nonetheless, there is an important tradition in Black American constitutional thought, beginning with Frederick Douglass, which represents American constitutional institutions as conditionally worthy of attachment in virtue of their latent normative potential. The correct conception of constitutional legitimacy for the United States combines Douglass's insights, and those of his intellectual heirs, with those working in the tradition which Habermas represents.
