Die Vorgeschichte von Texte und Varianten im Licht des Briefwechsels von Hans Zeller mit Siegfried Scheibe
Authors: Zeller Rosmarie
Published: October 2023

Based on the correspondence between Siegfried Scheibe (GDR) and Hans Zeller (Switzerland), the antecedents of the anthology Texte und Varianten (1971) are examined. In the wake of the discussion about how to present the genesis of literary texts, a need for a handbook apparently arose. Hans Zeller, together with Siegfried Scheibe, intended to publish a handbook that would reflect the state of the art concerning concepts such as the choice of the textual witness regarding the text constitution, the question of authorization of a text or the presentation of variants. Scheibe was initially forbidden to publish his contribution, which finally appeared in Texte und
Varianten, like the one of Hans Zeller.
Stable-Global Attributions, But Not Emotional Valence, Predict Future Depressive Symptoms and Event-Specific Inferences
Authors: Brouder Lily M. , Haeffel Gerald J.
Published: October 2023

Introduction: According to the cognitive vulnerability hypothesis (Abramson et al., 1989), some people are at heightened risk for depression because they generate stable-global causal attributions for stressful events (i.e., exhibit a cognitive vulnerability). However, it remains unclear if the predictive power of cognitive vulnerability, as measured by the Cognitive Style Questionnaire (CSQ), is driven by attributions specifically or a rather a more general emotional negativity. Method: We compared the predictive power of the traditional operationalization of the Cognitive Style Questionnaire (composite score of Likert ratings of stability and globality ratings) and the emotional valence and tone of idiographic written responses (which are usually ignored in the scoring). The study used a two time point longitudinal design with a sample of 837 undergraduates in the United States. Results: Stable-global attributions, regardless of the emotional valence and tone of their idiographic written responses, predicted future depressive symptoms and event-specific inferences. Emotional valence and tone did not predict either outcome. Discussion: Results support prior theorizing that the unchangeability of causal explanations is more important than the emotional valence of the explanation.

Published: October 2023

The research aims to develop information technology for identifying problematic health conditions by analyzing measurement data. The literature review highlights various approaches to medical diagnostics, including statistical and machine-learning models that predict the risk of adverse outcomes based on patient data. Developed information technology focuses on data classification and sufficiency, ensuring objective and relevant data is collected. The technology involves expert-defined rules for analysis, aiding in generating patient diagnosis candidates. The proposed information system comprises four components: data source, data storage, diagnosis module, and data sink. A comprehensive data storage structure is designed to store and manage data related to diagnoses and parameters efficiently. The rule set generation block prototypeincludes obtaining parameters and transforming algorithms into programming functions. A case study focuses on a diagnostic tool for assessing PTSD using an internationally recognized questionnaire. Telegram bot is selected as the data source due to its anonymity, flexibility, and automated data collection capabilities. The database structure is designed to accommodatequestionnaire modifications and continue data collection. The implemented analytical system effectively categorizes individuals' states based on their responses. Overall, the research demonstrates the potential of information technology and the proposed information system to provide effective and user-friendly health diagnostics, aiding in timely medical interventions and improving population well-being.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the SWAT model with respect to simulations of nitrates, organic phosphorus, dissolved oxygen, sediments and evapotranspiration, taking as reference data observed in continuous monitoring stations. The results showed that the correlation between the simulated and observed data is practically null if a linear relationship were established between them (Pearson correlation coefficient). On the other hand, the simulations overestimated the values of evapotranspiration, dissolved oxygen and sediments; and underestimated the values of nitrates and organic phosphorus, according to the PBIAS%. The RSR statistical criterion indicates that the performance of the modeling is unsatisfactory for nitrates, evapotranspiration and dissolved oxygen; and it is very good for organic phosphorus and the sediments of the Llaviuco station, which was verified with the application of the NSE statistical criterion. It is very important to pay attention to the initial calibration of the model.

Published: September 2023

This study was carried out to determine the effect of Scratch-based coding applications integrated into the 5E learning model used in science teaching on students’ computational thinking skills and self-efficacy towards block-based programming. In addition, students’ perceptions of the activity were measured after each Scratch activity, which was applied at different stages of the course and with different difficulty. The study employed the pretest-posttest control group less design, one of the quasi-experimental methods. The study sample consist of 22 6th grade students attending a public school in Turkey located in a district center in the Eastern Black Sea region. The study was carried out in a five-week period in the 2022-2023 academic years. Computational thinking scale and robotics attitude scale, self-efficacy perception scale related to block-based programming and activity perception scale were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed using the dependent samples t-test. The findings suggest that computational thinking skills level of students and their self-efficacy perception related to block-based programming increased significantly with the Scratch-based activities integrated into 5E learning model applied in science subjects. In addition, students have positive attitudes towards these activities. Thus, it is recommended to apply Scratch-based coding applications in teaching science subjects.

Effect of Viral Illness on Procalcitonin as a Predictor of Bacterial Infection in Febrile Infants
Authors: Kusma Jared , Fu Quinney , Kafle Maheshwor , Librizzi Jamie , Mirea Lucia , Riggins Hannah , Stone Daniel , Wall Jillian , Gage Sandra
Published: October 2023

OBJECTIVE

The impact of confirmed viral infections (CVI) on procalcitonin (PCT) levels in febrile infants aged 8–60 days with a bacterial illness (BI) is unknown. The objectives of the study were to (1) examine the association of CVI with PCT levels in patients with/without a concurrent BI, defined as bacteremia, meningitis, or urinary tract infection, and (2) assess PCT as a predictor of BI in infants with a concurrent CVI.

METHODS

In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, we examined febrile infants aged 8–60 days presenting between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2020. PCT levels were compared between groups, according to results of bacterial cultures and viral tests, using the Wilcoxon rank test. The prediction ability of PCT to detect BI with/without concurrent CVI was assessed by using area under the curve from logistic regression.

RESULTS

Patients included: 404 BI−/CVI+, 73 BI+/CVI−, 48 BI+/CVI+, and 138 BI−/CVI−. Median PCT level in the BI+/CVI+ group was significantly lower when compared to BI+/CVI− (0.36 ng/mL vs 0.89 ng/mL), but significantly higher than the BI−/CVI− group (0.36 ng/mL vs 0.1 ng/mL). The presence of a CVI reduced the sensitivity of PCT in BI detection (68% vs 44%), with minimal impact specificity (93% vs 96%).

CONCLUSIONS

In previously healthy febrile infants 8–60 days old, the presence of a CVI reduces the sensitivity of PCT BI detection without impacting its specificity. The impact of a CVI on PCT levels in febrile infants has implications for how this marker of infection should be considered when assessing risk of BI in infants.

Published: September 2023

Academic Culture is the habituation that can characterize an institution in college; good quality culture ensures the development of proper academic services. Technology advancement that threatens morality and academic culture must be anticipated with spiritually nuanced programs like the Subuh Mubarokahh program. As with any program, evaluation must be carried out. This research aims to evaluate behavior change and the benefits of academic culture activities. This is descriptive quantitative non-associative research, with a questionnaire as the instrument; participants included 43 lecturers and 504 students from Padang State University's Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality. According to the research results, the benefits of improving personal qualities that encourage the quality of faith and pious deeds as a Muslim are very high, and the development of a quality academic culture of kriya, ruhiyah, and badaniyah from personal lecturers and students. The program evaluation recommends that the Subuh mubarokah always be carried out by developing studies that align with the needs of lecturers and students to ensure the program's benefits in the realization of an academic culture that becomes the self-image of a quality institution.

We report the discovery of Cotula australis Hook.f. for the first time in Morocco and North Africa. We found it living in the cork-oak forest of Maamora (Northwest). This species, a member of the family Asteraceae, is introduced to Morocco and has potential to be highly invasive and destructive to the native environment. We describe the distinctive taxonomic and morphological characters of this species and provide notes on its distribution, ecology, and habitat.
Wari Beer
Authors: Williams Patrick R. , Nash Donna J.
Published: September 2023

Between 600 and 1000 AD, the Wari state expanded across the Andes. Wari beer was one of the quintessential ways in which Wari identity was promoted in provincial centers hundreds of kilometers from the Ayacucho heartland. Based on excavations at the far southern provincial Wari brewery at Cerro Baúl, we take a production sequence approach to beer preparation, to evaluate the nature of Wari brewing as state practice. We investigate each step of the brewing process, from ceramic container manufacture through plant processing, mashing, and fermentation, in different spatial venues used at Cerro Baúl in the production of Wari chicha de jora y molle. This method provides us with insights into the practice of Wari state brewing and into the corollary activities being undertaken in the same spaces. In so doing, we establish the nature of craft production of beer-making in Wari state contexts, and how it is differentiated from contemporary and later household contexts of beer production in the region.
Evangelical Countercult Apologists versus Astrology
Authors: Johnson Philip , Payne Simeon
Published: September 2023

Astrology is a religious, divinatory tool with an ancient pedigree found across many cultures. In the current era astrology is widely used in do-it-yourself (DIY) approaches to spirituality. Since the Reformation, there have been three primary Evangelical Protestant responses to astrology: “critical rejection”, “qualified embrace”, and “apologetic engagement”. Contemporary polemics resemble a form of reality maintenance bounded by “fear” of the alien other, with the objective being the nihilation of astrology as a spiritual competitor. Evangelical Protestants face increased challenges from DIY spiritualities concerning divination and guidance. This paper inquires into the Evangelical responses, noting how each one reflects sympathies or antipathies toward the concept of natural theology or general revelation in the history of Christian thought. The discussion explores these issues, as well as considering what theological questions arise vis-à-vis astrology.
From the Ground Up
Authors: Pollard Dominic
Published: September 2023

This paper explores the potential of GIS-based analyses of legacy survey data to inform discussions of settlement patterning, demographic change and the social organisation of agricultural production in the ancient Mediterranean. Legacy survey data represent an important body of evidence for understanding the development of past settlement systems, while their digitisation presents opportunities for novel quantitative and spatial analyses. By combining data from three contiguous intensive surveys from the Mirabello area of eastern Crete, this study investigates trajectories of demographic change and subsistence practice in the Early Iron Age (EIA) and Archaic periods (ca. 1200–550 bc), utilising GIS-based modelling of minimal agricultural catchments, and considering the relationships between communities over multiple geographic scales. This analysis highlights a transition away from clusters of small, demographically interdependent hamlets and villages in the earlier part of the EIA, toward the consolidation of nucleated population centres by the Archaic. The investigation of these developments contributes to our understanding of the scale, territorial control and management of agricultural hinterlands in the formative stages of the Greek poleis. The methods employed have wider relevance for the study of agricultural systems in the ancient Mediterranean, and highlight the important ongoing contributions of legacy survey data to theorising ancient subsistence economies.

Reexamining motive in L2 oral proficiency development
Authors: Yu Lu
Published: September 2023

This article investigates the construction and transformation of motive in L2 oral proficiency development. Taking a longitudinal, genetic and case study approach, this study followed a Chinese EFL undergraduate throughout the second semester of her first college year in the class of English Public Speaking. Sources of data include interviews, audio tape recordings of oral data in and out of the classroom, and weekly reflective journals. The study examines the learner’s developmental process as constructed by the changing motive, on the one hand, and the learner’s motive as shaped by forces of learner history, the mediated learning process, and the institutional context in which the learning was situated, on the other. When development occurred, the learner demonstrated a shift in motive, changes in the quality of independent speech as well as the amount and quality of mediation provided to her partner in collaborative dialogues, and a higher level of self-regulation. The article concludes by discussing its contribution to the ongoing research on learner motive as a socially-mediated construct by showing the mutually constitutive, co-evolving relationship among learner motive, the mediated learning process, and L2 development.
Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne w Tarnowie za rządów rektora bł. ks. Romana Sitki (1936–1941)
Authors: Soprych Jacek
Published: October 2023

Seminarium Duchowne w Tarnowie w ciągu dwóch wieków istnienia szczyciło się wieloma i wielkimi postaciami rektorów, a jeden z nich, ks. Roman Sitko, został wyniesiony do chwały ołtarzy. Osoba błogosławionego Rektora wciąż inspiruje, nie tylko kapłanów i alumnów WSD w Tarnowie czy WSD w Rzeszowie, ale także osoby świeckie. Jego całkowite oddanie sprawie powołań i dobrej formacji nowych kapłanów zasługuje na opracowanie. W artykule tym został ukazany fragment historii tarnowskiego seminarium, kiedy urząd rektorski sprawował ks. Sitko – skład kadry wychowawczej i profesorskiej, liczby alumnów i nowo wyświęconych kapłanów. Nie pominięto też wręcz ojcowskich relacji pomiędzy rektorem i alumnami, co sprzyjało dobrej atmosferze formacji. Cenne są tu przywoływane fragmenty świadectw ówczesnych kleryków. Zaprezentowano także sytuację seminarium w trudnym czasie II wojny światowej, kiedy jego budynek został zajęty przez Wehrmacht. Nie przeszkodziło to jednak w kontynuowaniu formacji kleryków. Rektor Sitko zorganizował ośrodek w Błoniu koło Tarnowa, gdzie podjął się przygotowania kleryków do święceń kapłańskich. Ostatecznie został za to aresztowany i osadzony w więzieniu. Po roku aresztu trafił do obozu Auschwitz, gdzie ukoronował całkowite oddanie sprawie tarnowskiego seminarium i kleryków męczeńską śmiercią.
Dyskusja nad podatkiem od kapitału i od wzbogacenia wojennego (1917–1920; 2021)
Authors: Kędrzyński Adam
Published: October 2023

Celem artykułu było porównanie dwóch debat nad nadzwyczajnymi podatkami (podatkiem od kapitału oraz podatkiem od wzbogacenia wojennego) z lat 1917–1920 i 2021 (podatkiem od majątku). Badanie wykazało, że na poziomie języka naturalnego następuje w tej kwestii niewielki postęp argumentacyjny. Oczywiście, pojawiają się pojedyncze nowe argumenty, jednak dzieje się tak głównie z powodu postępu technologicznego i coraz większego skomplikowania systemu podatków majątkowych. Jakość badań rośnie bowiem głównie na poziomie proceduralnym, poprzez zastosowanie bardziej zaawansowanych metod ilościowych (pozwoliły one na przykład na porównywanie wskaźników elastyczności różnych składników majątkowych tworzących podstawę opodatkowania, co zdaniem autorów tychże badań przekłada się bezpośrednio na zwiększoną, bądź zmniejszoną, możliwość ucieczki od podatków konkretnych fragmentów masy majątkowej). Przeprowadzone w niniejszym artykule badanie doprowadziło do wniosku, iż potrzebne są nowe ramy teoretyczne dla badań nad nadzwyczajnymi podatkami majątkowymi z uwagi na zmieniające się okoliczności fiskalne, poszerzający się zasób wiedzy i uwarunkowania prawne wprowadzania podatków, a także ewoluujące rozumienie sprawiedliwości podatkowej oraz odmienne niż w przypadkach historycznych stosowanie narzędzi polityki makroekonomicznej. Jednocześnie nie wolno zapominać, iż fundamentalne problemy dotyczące nadzwyczajnych podatków majątkowych zostały bardzo klarownie wyjaśnione w tekstach znanych ekonomistów neoklasycznych, w związku z czym nowa teoria nie może powstawać w oderwaniu od historycznych korzeni.
ANALYSIS OF CERVICAL POSTURE IN PATIENTS WITH BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITIONAL VERTIGO
Authors: ÖZÜDOĞRU ÇELİK Tuğba
Published: October 2023

Objective: Reduced cervical lordosis, frequently seen in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), has
recently drawn attention to cervical posture disorder in the etiology. This study aimed to investigate the
relationship between BPPV and cervical posture.
Material and Methods: Twenty-seven patients with BPPV (mean age 45.5±8.07 years) and 29 healthy volunteers without BPPV (mean age 36.0±9.11 years) were included in our study. Cervical spine range of motion
(ROM) measurements, cervical lordosis angle (fleche cervicale) and posture evaluation were performed
with DIERS Formetric 4D imaging device. The neck disability index (NDI) and neck pain Visual Analog Scale
(VAS) of each patient was recorded.
Results: In cervical ROM assessment, all cervical ROMs were significantly lower in the case group (p < 0.05)
except extension (p > 0.05). Neck pain VAS (p = 0.004) and NDI (p < 0.01) scores were significantly higher in
the case group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in comparison of spinal
sagittal angle parameters (p > 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between fleche cervicale
and thoracic kyphosis index (r = 0.630, p <0.01).
Conclusion: No association was found between BPPV and cervical posture. Decreased cervical lordosis is a
consequence of BPPV, not an etiologic cause. Painful cervical pathologies may accompany BPPV.
Energy, Exergy, and Environment Performance Evaluation of Cascade Refrigeration System with Natural Refrigerants
Authors: KOŞAN Meltem
Published: September 2023

Cascade refrigeration systems are preferred in applications where low temperature cooling is required, such as in some special industrial and laboratory applications. Since, in these systems, the energy consumed by the compressors is less and the compressor outlet temperature is lower. Due to environmental problems, the use of natural refrigerants in cascade refrigeration systems has become to be of great importance. In this study, two cascade systems consisting of R744/R290 (System 1) and R1270/R290 (System 2) natural refrigerant pairs were designed and thermodynamically examined. In the analyzes performed according to different evaporator temperatures, the highest COP value was 3.66 at -20℃ evaporating temperature was obtained in the cascade system consisting of the R1270/R290 refrigerant pair. Moreover, it was considered that there was a 17.95% enhancement in exergy efficiency with the use of R1270 refrigerant in the low temperature cycle. By the rise in the evaporator temperature, energy consumption decreases and as a result, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions reduced was attained.
Medium without CRF for Neocallimastigomycota v1
Authors: Vinzelj Julia
Published: October 2023

This is the protocol for the standard, nutrient-rich, undefined cultivation medium without clarified rumen fluid (CRF) used within the HiPoAF project. In previous publications this medium or slight variations of it have also been referred to as "defined medium" (since it does not contain CRF) - this, however, is not completely true, since it does contain undefined components (yeast extract, and tryptone). If you need a completely defined medium, check out our protocol "Minimal Medium for AF".
Conversion of Plasmid DNA to Minicircles v1
Authors: Chu Mathew
Published: October 2023

Plasmid DNA is conventionally the choice of vector for cloning and delivering transgenes into cells. However, for site-specific integration into the host genome, it is desirable that only the transgene sequence is transferred without elements of the backbone. In this protocol, we describe a novel approach to converting plasmid DNA into DNA minicircles which consist exclusively of the transgene sequence. This approach takes advantage of the scalability of plasmids while enabling in vitro conversion to minicircles using standard molecular biology approaches, circumventing the need for special producer strains of bacteria.
The relationship and interaction between stress-induced inflammation and the gut-brain (GBA) axis in the future development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or post-traumatic stress symptoms: a systematic review v1
Authors: not provided jyoo
Published: October 2023

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex condition that often arises from exposure to traumatic events and affects a significant portion of the global population. Managing PTSD and understanding its multifaceted nature have become areas of heightened research and clinical interest. While there is uncertainty regarding the causes of PTSD, there is a growing recognition of the potential impact of stress-induced inflammation and alterations in the gut-brain (GBA) axis on the development and severity of PTSD symptoms. This systematic review protocol follows the PRISMA guidelines and aims to investigate the relationship between stress-induced inflammation and changes in the gut-brain axis, specifically how these factors contribute to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or post-traumatic stress symptoms in adults. The study will conduct a systematic review of literature published in English from 2010 onwards, focusing on original evidence from various study designs including microbiota composition, immune responses, and gut microbiota-related markers. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of existing literature from various databases, including PubMed, CENTRAL, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Sociological Abstracts, and Web of Science, this review seeks to provide valuable insights into the effects of stress-induced inflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis on the development of PTSD symptoms, providing insights into potential mechanisms. The review is ongoing and expected to be completed by February 2024, sponsored by the College of Nursing at the University of Tennessee.
Türkçeye Anlam Kayması İle Geçmiş Arapça Kelimelerin Arapça Öğretimindeki Yeri Üzerine Bir Uygulama Araştırması
Authors: YENER Fatih

Dil canlı bir organizma olarak tanımlanır. Kendi içerisinde sürekli değişen ve gelişen diller aynı zamanda birbirlerini etkiler ve etkilenirler. Bu etkileşim fonetik, morfolojik, sentaktik, semantik ve stilistik gibi dilin bütün düzeylerinde gerçekleşebilir. Etkileşime dair izler etkileşim biçimine göre bu düzeylerin bazılarında diğerlerinden daha fazla gözlemlenebilir. Diller arasındaki etkileşimin en yoğun olarak görüldüğü yer kelimelerdir. Arapçanın Türkçe üzerindeki etkisinin de ağırlıklı olarak kelime düzeyinde olduğu görülmektedir. Uzun bir ortak tarihi geçmişe dayalı kültürel bağların güçlülüğü nedeniyle Türkçede Arapça asıllı çok sayıda kelime bulunmaktadır. Bu durum Türk öğrencilere Arapça öğretiminde bir avantaja dönüştürülebilir. Ne var ki; bu kelimelerin kimi Arapçadakiyle aynı anlamda kullanılırken kimilerinin çeşitli anlamsal değişikliklere uğradığı gözlemlenmektedir. Bu durum zaman zaman öğrencilerde kafa karışıklığına sebep olabilmektedir. Öğrencinin zihninde anlam karmaşasına yol açan bu durum ilgili kelimelerin dilimize farklı bir anlamda yerleşmiş olmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, ülkemizde Arapça eğitiminde üniversiteler tarafından yaygın olarak kullanılan Silsiletu’l-Lisan serisinin kelime dağarcığı dikkate alınarak Türkçeye anlam kayması ile geçmiş ve dilimize yerleşmiş olan kimi kelimelerin anlamlandırılmasında karşılaşılan probleme dikkat çekilerek söz konusu kelimelerin her iki dildeki kullanımı ele alınacaktır. Böylece Yabancı dil öğrenimi ile çeviride olumsuz aktarım ve yalancı eşdeğerlik olarak tanımlanan ve Türk öğrencilerin Arapça öğreniminde karşılaştıkları bir zorluğu, aynı zamanda Arapçadan Türkçeye çeviride karşılaşılan önemli sorunlardan birini teşkil eden anlam değişimi sorununa dikkat çekilerek konuyla ilgili çözüm önerileri sunulacaktır.

The paper presents the optimization of process parameters for wood laser engraving based on Taguchi method and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Laser diot mini machines using power source 10W is used for the experimental investigation process. The main parameters in the experimental wood surface laser engraving include such as: laser power (P), engraving speed (S), number of engraving lines per 1mm (L) and engraving head focal height (H). The surface geometrical dimensions while engraving, the engraving width (B) and the engraving depth (D) are main factors to determine the performance of engraving lines and the aesthetics of the product. The experiments were designed by the Taguchi L25 orthogonal array to analyze and obtain the important parameters. Then, to evaluate the optimal combination of parameters in the laser engraving process. The research results show that the influence of the factors P, S takes the leading role. Beside the two parameters L and H have a small influence on wood carving products. The optimization results prove that the combination of above factors at the correct values will give the most optimal set of parameters while maximizing the engraving depth (D) and minimizing the engraving width (B).

The paper focuses on describing and applying a refined method of investment payback calculation related to industrial robot applications. Industrial robots play an important role in modern manufacturing companies, therefore it is important to precisely determine the investment payback of robot applications. In the first part of the paper, we introduce payback calculation theory in general and the current approaches to payback calculation of robot applications in practice. Subsequently, we point out that current approaches seem insufficient due to tracking only a limited number of costs and savings. Subsequently, we attempt to identify all identifiable costs and savings related to robotic applications, then we present a refined method to determine the payback of robot applications more precisely. The method is then applied in a case study performed in an industrial enterprise. Finally, we evaluate how significantly this refined method differs from the calculation used in practice and these findings are summarised.
