Authors: Ganguly Arindam , Banerjee Amrita , Mandal Asish , Mohapatra Pradeep K. Das
Published: April 2019

Clarias batrachus (Linn.) is widely recognized in Indian sub-continent for its nutritional and economic significance. At present, it remains at a merely vulnerable state. Pathogenic infections, diminution of natural habitats and introduction of allied exotic fishes are the causes of productivity constraint, particularly in Southern Asia. Conversely, African cat fish Clarias gariepinus has been significantly identified as a potential threat to biodiversity, despite being its large scale cultivation across the world. Thus emphasis on indigenous C. batrachus farming is becoming inevitable. Currently, screening of autochthonous probiotic organisms for the cultivation of C. batrachus in semi-intensive manner is getting importance. At the same time, molecular omics-based technologies are also gaining considerable attention to identify potential probiotic markers. This review provides an overall concept of probiotics, its application and future perspectives in relation to the cultivation of C. batrachus.

KEKERASAN PSIKIS DALAM RUMAH TANGGA (Perspektif Undang-Undang PKDRT dan Hadis)
Authors: Hudaya Hairul
Published: April 2019

Unlike the case of physical and sexual violence and ignorance that have been included in KUHP and KHI, the psychological violence regulated in PKDRT Law is unique because the provision is not mentioned in other legislation. However, the case of psychical violence commonly happens in the household. Because of its verbal characteris- tic, both the perpetrator and the victim sometimes do not realize it. Psychical violence in PKDRT may cause an act that results in fear, loss of confidence, loss of ability, feelings of helplessness, and or severe psychological suffering to a person. In a hadith, the Prophet SAW forbids a husband to say bad things to his wife. The Hadith can be understood as a prohibition from the Prophet that Muslim are not allowed to commit psychical violence in the household. [Berbeda halnya dengan kekerasan fisik, seksual dan pengabaian nafkah yang termuat dalam KUHP maupun KHI, kekerasan psikis yang diatur dalam Undang-undang PKDRT merupakan suatu bentuk kekhasan karena ketentuan tersebut tidak disebutkan dalam perundangan lainnya. Meski demikian, kekerasan psikis ternyata lebih sering terjadi dalam rumah tangga karena sifatnya yang verbal sehingga baik pelaku maupun korban kadang tidak menyadarinya. Kekerasan psikis dalam PKDRT dapat berbentuk perbuatan yang mengakibatkan ketakutan, hilangnya rasa percaya diri, hilangnya kemampuan bertindak, rasa tidak berdaya, dan/atau penderitaan psikis berat pada seseorang. Dalam sebuah hadis, Nabi Saw. melarang suami untuk mengatakan hal yang buruk terhadap istrinya. Hadis tersebut dapat dipahami sebagai larangan Nabi Saw. untuk melakukan kekerasan psikis dalam rumah tangga.]
Information Literacy Competency Level of Social Science Researchers with Respect to Information Use Ethics A Study
Authors: Singh Rajesh , Kumar Shailendra
Published: April 2019

Assessment of information literacy competency (ILC) is a process and method to find out whether a person possesses ILC and if so, to what level. The present study is an attempt to gauge the ILC level of social science researchers with respect to information use ethics. On the competency scale overall 79.62 per cent of the respondents, consisting maximum 16.54 per cent from economics followed by 15 per cent from political science, 13.08 per cent from history, 12.69 per cent from sociology, 11.35 per cent from law and 10.96 per cent from geography, were found competent in information literacy (IL) to use information ethically and legally. The rest 20.38 per cent of the respondents, consisting of maximum 4.42 per cent respondents from law 4.04 per cent from geography, 3.46 per cent from history, political science and sociology and minimum of 1.54 per cent from economics were found lacking competency in information literacy to use information ethically and legally. IL skills to deal with information abundance and manage information in the ICT age having multiple similarity detection software and stringent legal provisions are highly important. The study findings have clearly established that a good part of researchers are far behind competency level and possess only baseline or below IL skills on ‘Information Use Ethics’. The findings are supposed to be of great help to all the stakeholders to plan, organise and participate in various information literacy activities and ultimately enhance the ILC of researchers on ‘information use ethics’.
Development of Online Legal Information System Lawyers Perceptions
Authors: Bhardwaj Raj Kumar
Published: April 2019

The study ascertains the perception of academic and practicing lawyers about awareness of legal information resources and problems faced by them in accessing legal information resources. Their perceptions about the development of open access legal information system were identified in developing an open-access online legal information system. A structured open-ended questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents. Researcher collected 216 filled questionnaire from academic lawyers and 181 questionnaire from practicing lawyers working in eight institutions in Delhi (India). Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and results are presented in tables and figures. The study found significant difference in the responses of academic and practicing lawyers. 28 (13.0 %) academic lawyers and 28 (15.5 %) practicing lawyers rated online legal information resources poor. More academic lawyers were very satisfied compared to practicing lawyers in using commercial resources. It was ascertained that more number of practicing lawyers expressed ‘somewhat satisfied’ in using open access resources. Academic lawyers, 51 (28.7 %), expressed ‘completely dissatisfied’ and 33 (21.9 %) practicing lawyers stated ‘completely dissatisfied’ in using the open access resources. Practicing lawyers have highlighted that poor details on online legal information is a major hindrance in using legal information resources while academic lawyers mentioned several login requisites as one of the major problems. The outcome of the study can be used to develop suitable online legal information resources.

Authors: Das Anup Kumar
Published: April 2019

In April 2017 the Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), in collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, organized a national consultation on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). Five key issues aligning in the RRI framework were discussed in the meeting, which are namely public engagement, open access, gender equality, science education, and ethics. As pointed out by the expert panelists, the aspects of ethics in research and academia include the research integrity, minimization of research misconduct and plagiarism, besides a few others. Recently launched “RRI-Practice Report from National Case Study: India”, extensively analyzed the public policy instruments facilitating the governance of responsible research in India. The fundamental tenets of responsibility in research and innovation are to be based on the ideas of Access, Equity, and Inclusion (AEI), as identified by the said country case study. On the other hand, the idea of Scientific Social Responsibility (SSR) was advocated by the Prime Minister of India in lines with the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) during the 104th Indian Science Congress, 2017. RRI framework addresses many of the critical issues related to SSR. This paper explores the opportunities and challenges in the RRI Framework while ensuring the research integrity in India. This paper includes the highlights from the INSA Policy Statement on "Dissemination and Evaluation of Research Output in India" (2018), UGC (Promotion of Academic Integrity and Prevention of Plagiarism in Higher Educational Institutions) Regulations (2018), and RRI-Practice’s “Report from National Case Study: India” (2018).

Authors: Patra Swapan Kumar , Das Anup Kumar
Published: April 2019

With the recent growth of university education and the increasing amount of literature available on the web, there is concern among the academician and other interested about the research ethics and academic integrity. The Government of India, through the University Grant Commission (UGC), India has recently adopted policy document with a clear definition of the subject and policy measure to control the various issues that arise from it. This paper is an attempt to map the global publication and research trends in the Academic Integrity and Plagiarism issues. The paper uses different bibliometrics scientometrics and social network tools to map the literature growth pattern, subject areas and so on. The study is also trying to situate India’s position and its research trends in the global landscape in terms of literature growth, publication outlets, and keyword analysis. The study observed that the Indian scholarly literature in these areas are increasing in recent years. Although it is not at par with the global literature growth. The keyword analysis observed that Indian literature is more towards computer and ICT related literature rather than the global research in the medical subject (human is the second most occurring keywords). The study recommends more focusses and integrated research approach in other university and institutes in India.
Integrity in Education and Research
Authors: Tripathi Manorama
Published: April 2019

Universities and higher educational institutions, in the country or across the globe create new knowledge through their study of the existing ecosystems along with the constraints and challenges that lie therein. The most crucial tool in the box towards solving these gaping issues happens to be academic research. The knowledge generated at these epicentres address the problems, related to health, climate change, sustainability among many others. The findings of the research offer substantial breakthroughs to enhance the living standards of the people, better utilization of the limited resources and preservation of the planet.

With the changing and ever-growing role of the institutions of higher learning and universities in particular research has become all the more crucial. There is hardly any domain where universities and the scholars don’t have a role to play. With spectacularly arrayed disciplines coming under the ambit of education, the researchers have a ringside view of the world problems. If we pick up any instance of authorities dealing with contemporary issues, we are sure to find a few academics in the core team. Academics and particularly the hard research has emerged as the new go-to guy.

With so much riding on the research, any dilution of its sanctity would bring down the entire edifice of progress and development. Any laxity on the rigorous methodologies or standards procedures may prove very catastrophic for all the stakeholders and the community as a whole.

Sadly it has been observed worldwide that researchers often indulge in misconduct while pursuing their education and research enterprises. Misconduct refers to a gamut of wrong practices like plagiarizing, fabricating or falsifying data, manipulating images or pictures to substantiate their finding; reporting selectively to support their research objectives. The menace of gift and ghost authorship is also prevalent across academic and research intelligence. Any of this dilutes the quality of research and questions the authenticity of the resulting knowledge.

Authors: Jagirdar V. V. , Trikande M. W.
Published: April 2019

Better terrain accessibility of military vehicle makes it possible to project force at desired points in a theatre of operation. The factors responsible for terrain accessibility are slope, obstacles and soil. Torque requirement for meeting vehicle speed and gradient requirement is understood and can be analytically arrived at. It can be met by appropriate choice of engine and transmission using. There is dearth of information as well as a common metric in quantification of terrain accessibility especially soft soil trafficability. Approach adopted in this study is that of characterisation of vehicle in terms of mobility characteristic and mobility limit parameters and comparing them with vehicle in-service worldwide. Simple empirical relation has been preferred over complex analytical approach for mobility prediction and gradient climbing capability in sand has been predicted and compared with other vehicles. parametric study for tyre sizes vis-a-vis mobility parameters have been obtained and results have been presented for chosen vehicle configuration. Second part of this study is obstacle crossing capability study for standard set of obstacles. Vehicle model has been built in multi-body environment and parameters of significance viz., wheel displacement to verify correctness of model and acceleration at CG for ride comfort and ground reactions for evaluation of dynamic loads on axles have been obtained. Vehicle drivetrain configuration to achieve desired terrain accessibility in terms of soft-soil trafficability and obstacle crossing has been demonstrated.
Effect of Azimuthal Asymmetry Caused by Upwelling on 3D Ocean Acoustic Propagation
Authors: Raju R. P. , Anand P. , Fernandez Dominic Ricky , Rao A. Raghunadha
Published: April 2019

3-D underwater parabolic equation model based on implicit finite difference method has been implemented for South Eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS). The bathymetric and geo-acoustic features have been integrated in the model for a 50 km circular region in SEAS. The model can simulate the effects of azimuthal variation in oceanographic features and compute azimuthally coupled pressure due to an omni-directional source. The azimuthal variation in oceanographic conditions can be observed during an upwelling event. In the first case study, the effect of upwelling event on three-dimensional acoustic propagation has been studied by using sound speed profile data derived from INS Sagardhwani observations. The difference in Transmission loss mosaic for upslope and downslope propagation is due to bathymetry as well as upwelling. In the second case study, the effect of upwelling only, is studied by running a model corresponding to range independent sound speed profile field and range dependent bathymetry. It was observed that during this upwelling event, the transmission loss is higher at longer ranges during upslope propagation than downslope propagation. This is due to the increase in the thickness of sonic layer duct as acoustic wave propagates from shallow to deep water. The effect of azimuthal variation i

Published: April 2019

Forschungsdaten sind in all ihrer fachlichen Heterogenität inzwischen bei fast allen Fachinformationsdiensten ein Thema. Schwerpunkte der Auseinandersetzung sind die Kommunikation von Anforderungen, Schwierigkeiten und Möglichkeiten des Forschungsdatenmanagements in die Fächer hinein sowie der Nachweis von Forschungsdaten in fachlichen Rechercheportalen. Aber auch am Aufbau von Infrastrukturen zur Archivierung und Bereitstellung von Forschungsdaten sind Fachinformationsdienste zunehmend beteiligt. Dies belegen die vorgestellten Beispiele und Entwicklungen. Im Hinblick auf eine national organisierte Forschungsdateninfrastruktur verstehen sich die Fachinformationsdienste als geeignete und bereitwillige Kooperationspartner an der Schnittstelle zwischen Fachcommunities und Infrastrukturen.

Ammonium jarosite sediment is a by-product of hydrometallurgical process used to extract zinc metal, which, which contains heavy metal ions and raises severe environmental concerns The transformation of jarosite sediment into high-value-added sulfide products through simple processing is a cost-effective and efficient strategy to overcome environmental and waste management issues. Herein, the influence of sulfur on thermal decomposition of ammonium jarosite is investigated in reducing atmosphere. The results reveal that the presence of sulfur promoted the decomposition of ammonium jarosite and szomolnokite and iron oxide phases have been observed after being heat treated at 300 °C. Moreover, after heat treatment at 700 °C, the decomposition of jarosite/sulfur mixture resulted in the formation of pyrrhotite phase, which can be used as a raw material for sulfuric acid production. Lastly, the activation energy of pyrrhotite formation has been estimated by using KAS equation and found to be 216.2 kJ/mol in reducing atmosphere.

Published: April 2019

The photocatalytic degradation of hexylpyridinium bromide (HPyBr) from an aqueous solution was studied by focusing on comparison of the photoactivity of ZnO and TiO2 P25. The process was carried out under different experimental conditions. The results showed that there is no adsorption of pollutant by both catalysts in the dark. The efficiency of P25 Degussa and ZnO photocatalysts were compared, and the photocatalytic kinetics study showed that ZnO is more efficient than TiO2 P25. The HPyBr photodegradation was found to follow a pseudo-first order kinetics, and the higher rates constants were obtained at the alkaline medium for ZnO (pH = 11, kapp = 9.61 × 10–2 min−1) and at acidic medium for TiO2 P25 (pH = 3, kapp = 1.28 × 10–2 min−1). The Langmuir–Hinshelwood model was found suitable to explain the rate constant data for the ionic liquid degradation by both catalysts. The presence of carbonate ions at alkaline medium was found to reduce the HPyBr degradation for ZnO and to enhance the HPyBr degradation for TiO2, this enhancement in TiO2/CO32-/UV system was confirmed by the addition of •OH and hvb+ scavengers. According to TOC and COD results, HPyBr mineralization was faster in ZnO/UV system than in TiO2/UV system.
The hornless rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus inermis Lesson, 1836) discovered by Lamare-Picquot in the Sundarbans of Bangladesh in 1828, with notes on the history of his Asian collections
Authors: Rookmaaker Kees
Published: April 2019

The French pharmacist and explorer Christoph-Augustin Lamare-Picquot (1785–1873) was in South Asia during 1826–1829 to collect ethnographical, anthropological, zoological and botanical specimens. He made an excursion to the Sundarbans (the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta) of Bangladesh, where on 17 November 1828 his team shot a female rhinoceros and caught her young one the next day, just south of Khulna. Both animals were completely hornless. He returned to France in the spring of 1830, where his zoological specimens were assessed by Georges Cuvier, and his other collections relating to ethnography by other scholars. All recommended purchase by the French Government, but circumstances did not allow this. A few animals were described by scientists connected with the Natural History Museum in Paris. After Lamare-Picquot published an account of the hunting expedition in 1835, the rhinoceros was described as a new species Rhinoceros inermis, by René-Primivère Lesson, first in a supplement to Buffon dated 1836, and not, as accepted until now, in restatements dating from 1838 or later. The main part of the zoological collection was bought by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III in 1836 and integrated in museums in Berlin. Other collections were exhibited as a “Panthéon Indien” in Vienna and Bratislava from 1838, until they were purchased by the Bavarian King Ludwig in 1841, and added to a museum in Munich. The type specimens of R. inermis are still preserved in the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. The adult female (ZMB_Mam_1957) was selected as the lectotype.
Mittel- bis jungneolithische Siedlungshinterlassenschaften zwischen 3300–2600 v. Chr. – Der Fundplatz Oldenburg LA 232 im Oldenburger Graben, Ostholstein

Published: April 2019

Mit Beginn des DFG-Sonderforschungsbereiches 1266 „TransformationsDimensionen“ stand im Rahmen des Teilprojektes „Spätmesolithische und Neolithische Transformationen in der nordmitteleuropäischen Tiefebene“ auch die Frage des Überganges von mittelneolithischen Trichterbecher- zu jungneolithischen Einzelgrabgesellschaften im Vordergrund des Interesses. Aufgrund fehlender Siedlungsbefunde wurden 2016 erste siedlungsarchäologische Untersuchungen durchgeführt, dazu zählte eine geophysikalische und archäologische Prospektion im Bereich der Fundstelle Oldenburg LA 232 in Ostholstein. Dieser neolithische Siedlungsplatz befindet sich auf einer Geländeerhöhung im Feuchtgebiet des westlichen Oldenburger Grabens, einer ehemaligen Förde- und Lagunenlandschaft, und schließt eine ehemalige Uferzone mit ein. Die Untersuchungen ermöglichten es, eine trichterbecherzeitliche Besiedlung (ca. 3340–3020 cal BC) auf der Geländeerhöhung in Form von Gebäudestrukturen, Vorratsgruben und einem Werkplatz zur Produktion von Flintgeräten nachzuweisen. Eine zweite Besiedlungsphase (ca. 2930–2630 cal BC) ist durch eine Fundschicht mit Pfeilschäften, Konstruktionshölzern, Vorarbeiten und Pfählen im Bereich der neolithischen Uferzone belegt und gehört der Übergangsphase Mittelneolithikum V/Jungneolithikum 1 (Store-Valby/frühe Einzelgrabkultur) an. In dieser Transformationsphase lassen sich, ausgehend vom neu gegrabenen Fundplatz, auf regionaler Ebene sowohl Kontinuitäten als auch Diskontinuitäten nachweisen. Insbesondere die Platzkontinuität ist für das Verständnis des Transformationsprozesses vom Mittel- zum Jungneolithikum in der Norddeutschen Tiefebene von entscheidender Bedeutung.
Rechtswahrung als Selbstzweck? Zur päpstlichen Politik im Dreißigjährigen Krieg 1633–1635 im Spiegel neupublizierter Quellen
Authors: Kampmann Christoph
Published: April 2019

Riassunto

Il contributo esamina (riferendosi ai volumi dei „Nuntiaturberichte aus Deutschland“ pubblicati di recente) la politica curiale durante la Guerra dei Trent’anni, in particolare nella sua fase svedese fino alla pace di Praga (1630–1635). Questi anni sono significativi, perché a partire dal 1633/34 si constata, da parte del governo imperiale, una disponibilità al compromesso decisamente maggiore in proposito del diritto religioso. Si pone il quesito di come la curia abbia valutato questo fatto. Le fonti considerate confermano i giudizi finora formulati dagli storici (tra gli altri Konrad Repgen e Robert Bireley) secondo cui la Curia era contraria a fare concessioni alla parte protestante sul piano confessionale. Appare però un secondo aspetto della politica condotta dalla Curia verso l’Impero, vale a dire una profonda diffidenza nei confronti dell’imperatore, sospettato di perseguire un accordo confessionale soprattutto per poter continuare a condurre, dopo una riconciliazione all’interno dell’Impero, la guerra contro la Francia con la stessa intensità. La Curia era evidentemente convinta che per la politica di Vienna fosse prioritaria l’unità della Casa d’Austria e la subordinazione agli interessi della Spagna. Nel complesso l’analisi mette in dubbio che la linea della Curia come attore politico indipendente nelle relazioni esterne europee fosse caratterizzata da un così forte contrasto tra le posizioni tese per principio alla salvaguardia del diritto da un lato e l’adozione di una politica flessibile dall’altro. Dal punto di vista della Curia la salvaguardia del diritto non sembra essere stato solo un fine in sé, come neppure l’agire politico in maniera flessibile era indipendente dall’osservanza di fondamentali principi di diritto. Qui si apre un campo di ricerche future che vanno ben oltre la politica curiale verso l’Impero e possono prendere importanti spunti dai volumi del carteggio dei nunzi ora pubblicati.
„Il bollore della lega“
Authors: Piffanelli Luciano
Published: April 2019

Im Rahmen der Erneuerung der Studien zur politischen und diplomatischen Geschichte Italiens analysiert dieser Beitrag die Dynamiken des frühen Quattrocento mit dem Ziel, ein neues Licht auf die verflochtenen Beziehungen zu werfen, die die Republik mit den Legaten von Bologna unterhielt, die in den zwanziger Jahren des 15. Jahrhunderts aufeinander folgten (Carrillo, Condulmer, Alamanni). Die vorliegende Studie zeigt daher anhand der Schnittmenge von Archivdokumentation und vorhandener Bibliographie Elemente und Wirkungen der florentinischen Diplomatie mit diesen päpstlichen Vertretern auf und zeigt nicht nur die Bedeutung solcher Verhandlungen im Konflikt mit Filippo Maria Visconti, sondern auch, dass bestimmte sukzessive politische Entwicklungen gerade in diesen Verbindungen grundgelegt waren.
Le corti di Baviera e di Sassonia nelle testimonianze epistolari di gentiluomini italiani della seconda metà del Seicento
Authors: Cont Alessandro
Published: April 2019

Die Untersuchung der Beziehungen zwischen den italienischen Fürstenhöfen und dem bayerischen Hof im Zeitalter des Barocks kann sich auf fünf Gruppen von zum größten Teil unveröffentlichten Briefen stützen, die einige in München tätige bzw. unter dem Kurfürsten Maximilian II. Emanuel an der ungarischen Front dienende Adelige aus Turin, Mantua und Florenz zwischen 1676 und 1688 an ihre Regierungen sandten. Diese Texte, die sich heute in den Staatsarchiven der genannten italienischen Städte befinden, erhellen einige bisher unbekannte Aspekte der bayerischen Fürstenfamilie und werfen neues Licht auf die Machtdynamiken an der Spitze eines der wichtigsten deutschen Staaten. Gleichzeitig lassen sich aus ihnen einige diplomatische Strategien ableiten, die die italienischen Herzogsdynastien im Rahmen der vielgestaltigen Realität des Heiligen Römischen Reiches deutscher Nation verfolgten. Außerdem ergeben sich aus ihnen die Schwierigkeiten und Probleme, mit denen die Schreiber bei der Anpassung an eine fremde Umgebung zu kämpfen hatten und die zum Teil mit den andersartigen Klimaverhältnissen und Gewohnheiten zusammenhingen; herauslesen lassen sich aber auch das Prestige und die materiellen Vorteile, die sie aus dem Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen der société des princes und der Adelsinternationale gewinnen konnten. Während beispielsweise Giovanni Battista D’Oria di Ciriè aufgrund fehlender ökonomischer Ressourcen nach Turin zurückkehren musste, gelang es Carlo Maria Vialardi, seine Münchner Verhandlungen im Auftrag des Herzogs von Mantua mit einer offiziellen Mission nach Dresden zu krönen; dort verfasste er Berichte, die uns Informationen und Daten liefern, um die beiden Kurfürstentümer Sachsen und Bayern miteinander zu vergleichen.
Richard Nikolaus Graf Coudenhove-Kalergi, die „Paneuropa-Union“ und der Faschismus 1923–1938
Authors: Thöndl Michael
Published: April 2019

Riassunto

In un primo momento Coudenhouve-Kalergi concepì la „Paneuropa“ come un’unione di stati democratici. Purtuttavia tentò già nel 1923 di coinvolgervi anche il fascismo, considerandolo una potenza legittima per combattere il bolscevismo. In quanto deciso avversario del nazionalsocialismo, sperava fin dal 1933 che Mussolini avrebbe garantito l’indipendenza dell’Austria. Tra il 1933 e il 1936 propagò una „Paneuropa fascista“, ma la nascita dell’„asse“ tra l’Italia e la Germania portò a un suo – inizialmente poco convinto – distacco dal fascismo. Fino a quel momento il dittatore italiano e la diplomazia italiana avevano cercato di utilizzare i suoi contatti politici, aprendogli in cambio la possibilità di pubblicare in Italia interventi tesi a legittimare la guerra in Etiopia, a differenziare la nazione austriaca da quella tedesca, o a rifiutare la dottrina della razza dei nazionalsocialisti. La polizia segreta fascista lo considerò però sempre un incorregibile antifascista. Verso la fine del 1937 Coudenhouve-Kalergi diede alle stampe la sua opera „Stato totale – l’uomo totale“ dalle tendenze moderatamente antifasciste la cui introduzione in Italia fu proibita. Ciononostante cercò ancora nel 1938 dall’esilio svizzero – ora però invano – la collaborazione con il fascismo.
Laici, giuristi, umanisti. Ronald Witt e l’Italia medievale
Authors: Conte Emanuele
Published: April 2019

Im Anschluss an Kristeller hat Ronald Witt (1933–2017) sich in zwei wichtigen Studien, die nun in italienischer Übersetzung vorliegen, den mittelalterlichen Ursprüngen des italienischen Humanismus gewidmet. Der zweite Band reicht bis in die Zeit der Karolinger zurück, um den Wurzeln der italienischen Außergewöhnlichkeit nachzuspüren, mit der sich die antiquarische Begeisterung der Renaissance begründen läßt. Da die Autorität der Antike oftmals in politischer Absicht angerufen wurde, um Machtgewalt und Einrichtungen zu rechtfertigen, haben Kristeller – und nun umfassender Witt – diese Außergewöhnlichkeit Italiens auf das Fortdauern einer jenseits der Alpen verschwundenen laizistischen Kultur zurückgeführt. Die Entstehung der Rechtswissenschaft und die Innovationskraft einer Schicht von öffentlichen Beamten, die sich für die Antike zu begeistern begannen, stellt für die Zeit ab dem 12. Jahrhundert in der Tat eine italienische Besonderheit dar. Für die Periode vom 8. Jahrhundert bis zur gregorianischen Reform hingegen entwickelte sich der laizistische Ansatz eher innerhalb der Klerikerkultur und bereitete die Wende vor, in deren Folge die laizistische Orientierung die Oberhand gewann und sich eine neue, dynamische Führungsschicht herausformte.
Leggere e rileggere Lutero: a proposito di alcune opere pubblicate in occasione del cinquecentesimo anniversario della Riforma
Authors: Fosi Irene
Published: April 2019

Der Artikel befasst sich mit einigen Werken, die in Deutschland anlässlich des 500-jährigen Reformationsjubiläums erschienen sind. Zahlreiche Biographien des ‚Christen‘ Luther liegen vor, welche oftmals über Abbildungen verfügen, die der Gemeinschaft der Gläubigen die Grundsätze der Reformtheologie vermittelten. Daneben gibt es Studien, die die Reformation aus einem umfassenderen Blickwinkel nicht nur als europäisches und deutsches Problem im besonderen, sondern auch in ihren außereuropäischen Wirkungen betrachten. In diesem Zusammenhang kristallisieren sich einige Grundaspekte heraus, die viele der hier diskutierten Werke auszeichnen, so die Konzentration auf die Bedeutung, die die Reformation und der Protestantismus heute besitzen, oder die Frage, ob eine kritische Analyse der Sprengkraft, die vom Ende der Einheit der Christen in Europa ausging, auch zum Verständnis des heutigen religiösen Fundamentalismus beizutragen vermag. Die italienische Historiographie hat sich ebenfalls mit dem Thema der Reformation auseinandergesetzt, sowohl in Form von Lutherbiographien, aber auch mit überzeugenden, traditionelle Ansätze überwindenden Versuchen, über die Folgen der Reformation in Italien nachzudenken.
Ortsnamen als religionswissenschaftliche Quelle
Authors: Egeler Matthias
Published: April 2019

Ortsnamen können im Kontext gegenwärtiger Debatten, insbesondere zum sog. spatial turn und zur Religionsästhetik, wesentliche Beiträge leisten, sind im religionswissenschaftlichen Fachdiskurs bislang jedoch kaum gewürdigt worden. Der Aufsatz gibt in Form eines Hypothesenkatalogs einen Überblick über zentrale Aspekte des Potentials, das diese Quellengattung hier haben kann: In diachroner Perspektive können Toponyme u. a. als Quellen für historische religiöse Raumordnungen dienen. In synchroner Perspektive spielen sie u. a. als Speicherungsmedium des kulturellen Gedächtnisses eine Rolle bei der Schaffung von Assoziationsräumen und der Vergegenwärtigung und Naturalisierung von religiösen Ordnungen. Sie leisten einen Beitrag zur Schaffung eines Gefühls von Heimat, zu Orientierungsstiftung und zu Kontingenzbewältigung. Zugleich können sie zu Katalysatoren einer Neuerfindung von Traditionen werden, dokumentieren religiöse Pluralismen und stellen Kristallisationspunkte von Konflikten dar.

Neuronal cholinergic circuits have been implicated in cognitive function and neurological disease, but the role of cholinergic signaling in other cellular populations within the brain has not been as fully defined. Here, we show that cholinergic signaling mechanisms are involved in mediating the function of the choroid plexus, the brain structure responsible for generating CSF and releasing various factors into the brain. The choroid plexus was found to express markers of endogenous cholinergic signaling, including multiple nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes in a region-specific manner, and application of nicotine was found to induce cellular activation, as evidenced by calcium influx in primary tissue. During intravenous nicotine self-administration in male rats, nicotine increased expression of transthyretin, a protein selectively produced and released by the choroid plexus, and microRNA-204 (mir-204), a transcript found in high levels in the choroid plexus and CSF. Finally, human choroid plexus tissue from both sexes was found to exhibit similar nAChR, transthyretin and mir-204 expression profiles, supporting the translational relevance of the findings. Together, these studies demonstrate functionally active cholinergic signaling mechanisms in the choroid plexus, the resulting effects on transthyretin and mir-204 expression, and reveal the direct mechanism by which nicotine modulates function of this tissue.
Migratory Patterns of a Fish Doodle
Authors: Bhattacharya Kakali
Published: April 2019

Border crossing, migrations, and desire are deeply interconnected. Using a Desi historiography, I trace the entanglement of migration and desire, examining both what is made possible through geopolitical, emotional, and ideological border crossings and what lies in the wreckage of certain crossings. Using the trope of fish doodles, I trace the intractability of desire and highlight how the distortions inherent in migratory experience shatter illusions and innocence, creating a sense of betrayal yet failing to mitigate desire. Drawing on a South Asian sensibility of communal and national insider and outsider positions, I explore the complicated terrain of Desi transnational existence.
Traveling to a New City
Authors: Tullis Jillian A.
Published: April 2019

Life is a journey, death is the final frontier. These are clichés, yet the metaphorical language they draw upon is worth attending to when we encounter them. Movement is present whether we find ourselves at the bedside of a dying loved one or are confronted with managing our own grief in the wake of a death. This essay uses the text Gone from My Sight as a road map for thinking about migration in dying and argues that rather than dismiss language about travel or visitors, it should be taken seriously when one is with the dying or those experiencing grief.
Letting Go, Holding On

Published: April 2019

Oxymoronically, existence is change, or so say the sages. Without stability, meaning degrades to meaninglessness. In a series of letters, a father and daughter try to understand stability and change, love and loss, dependence and freedom, the parent–child relationship, and head and heart, as they consider an opportunity to write about migration as family history.

Formation Conditions of Leucite-Bearing Lavas in the Bolsena Complex (Vulsini, Italy): Research Data on Melt Inclusions in Minerals
Authors: Isakova A.T. , Panina L.I. , Stoppa F.
Published: April 2019

—A melt inclusion study was carried out in the leucite-bearing tephriphonolite and phonolite lavas of the Bolsena complex in order to obtain direct data on the chemical composition of initial melts, their evolution, and their crystallization temperatures. It has been found that the initial melt for the considered rocks was of tephrite–basanite composition. Its crystallization began with the formation of clinopyroxene phenocrysts at 1205–1100 °C, then leucite and plagioclase crystallization took place at about 1120 °C and 1080–1060 °C, respectively. The initial tephrite–basanite melt was slightly enriched in volatile components (H2O, F, SO3, and Cl). During the crystallization of clinopyroxene, leucite, and plagioclase, the composition of the initial magma changed toward an increase in the contents of SiO2, Al2O3, and K2O and a decrease in the contents of FeO, MgO, and CaO, i.e., evolved toward phonolite. A similar evolution trend is typical of alkaline basic systems. The tephrite–basanite melt was probably the product of the crystallization differentiation of the parental mantle magma similar in composition to the leucite-bearing tephrite–basanite of the Montefiascone complex.
