Burgers op het kasteel. Elitedistinctie en representatie onder Hollandse heren buiten de ridderstand in de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw
Authors: Van der Laarse Rob
Published: March 2023

The Dutch Republic offers a remarkable picture of two parallel elites that developed side by side in the early modern period. While in other European countries high officials and merchants were eventually admitted to the peerage, here the knighthoods remained closed, even to the most powerful urban regents. How can we understand this almost hermetic and by European standards unique separation of nobility and patriciate? Why did urban aristocrats with numerous lordships and foreign noble titles copy the culture of an elite to which they never belonged? The answer to these questions is often sought in the misleading distinction between the Dutch, mainly (but not exclusively) Amsterdam merchant gentry with its hundreds of new mansions, and the rural knightly order with its old mansions in the landed provinces. This is a misleading picture. Although after the Dutch Revolt a largely feudal hierarchy of lordships did indeed persist in the countryside outside the walled cities, in the coastal regions most of it was commercialized and appropriated by this feudal-capitalist elite. Although never knighted, but often adorned with foreign titles, ‘burghers’ combined, in competition with each other, in their portraits, houses, and lifestyles an entirely unique style of princely wealth, courtly virtues, merchant spirit, and feudal simplicity.
Ennoblement and the control of grants of arms in sixteenth-century Lorraine
Authors: Blanchard Jean-Christophe
Published: March 2023

From the end of the fourteenth century, following the example of the king of France, the dukes of Bar and Lorraine ennobled their most zealous servants. Later, under the dukes of Lorraine of the house of Anjou, the number of ennoblements increased. Yet it was under the reigns of René II (1473-1508), Antoine (1508-1544), and above all Charles III (1545-1608) that the number of ennoblements significantlyrose. From the very start, this new noble elite distinguished itself from the original nobility by means of differently composed coats of arms. Nevertheless, the taxonomic role played by the latter was not enough. From the 1540s onwards, the sovereigns of Lorraine had the arms of ennobled subjects distinctly listed. Émond du Boullay, herald from 1543 to 1550, undertook a first compilation. However, renewed protests of the old lineages as well as abuses affecting ducal taxation, led duke Charles III to legislate. The Chambre des Comptes de Lorraine had to register the letters of ennoblement. In the meantime, the herald Didier Richier was commissioned to initiate an inquiry on nobles. In ducal Lorraine, the princely state, concerned with its own interests, scrupulously monitored the promotion of nobility and the attribution of the main emblem that manifested this status: the coat of arms.
Introduction: The Afterlives of Data
Authors: Murphy Brian Michael , Paulsen Kris
Published: March 2023

Guest edited by scholars Brian Michael Murphy (Bennington College) and Kris Paulsen (The Ohio State University), this special issue entitled Afterlives of Data features articles, interview, artist projects, and reviews that address the ways the material conditions of data and art are shifting, and how thinkers, artists, and scholars can offer crucial scaffolding for understanding how we arrived here. The issue presents prehistories of data models we take for granted and provides historical contexts that clarify what is new and what is not, helping us to see where we now might be headed. NFTs, DNA data, the sensuous traces of e-waste, facial recognition software trained on marginalized subjects, and the institutionalized processes of dispossessing human subjects from their colonial contexts all present ways in which data comes to have an afterlife that haunts our present and potential futures.
Ghosts in the Machine

Published: March 2023

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST’s) Facial Recognition Vendor Test is considered the gold standard for assessing the performance of facial recognition models. Since the test series began in 1994, it has been regarded as an objective benchmark for corporations and academic research groups to compare their models against one another. To evaluate the accuracy of facial recognition models, NIST draws upon a database of millions of photos of US visa applicants and border crossers. Without their knowledge or consent, immigrants’ photos have become raw material for the refinement of facial recognition software. This essay discusses the afterlife of these images, photos of immigrants and non-citizens that have been repurposed for a function that goes far beyond their original intent.

Authors: Oliveira Heloísa Maria , De Sousa Silva Francisco Alex , Lins Almeida Barbosa Tellys , Freire Rodrigues Meiry Gláucia
Published: March 2023

In an attempt to synthesize nanomaterial concerning chemistry, the sustainable synthesis of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles by a low-cost approach through the recycling of waste mother liquors was explored and then indicated the potential to remove chlorhexidine (CHLX) from an aqueous solution. ZIF-8 was produced under solvothermal reaction at 25°C and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, adsorption/desorption of N2, dynamic light scattering and contact angle. The water Chemical stability test was conducted using ZIF-8 and it was immersed in pure water for 24 h at room temperature. Batch-type adsorption was used to check the potential of ZIF-8 (first and second generation) for the adsorption of the chlorhexidine with initial chlorhexidine concentration (0.05, 0.06 and 0.07 mol/L), agitation time (1, 3.5 and 6 h) and the mass of nano-adosrbent (0.04, 0.05 and 0.06 g). Process optimization was performed through a Factorial experimental design. The optimum conditions were selected for the nano-adsorbent mass of 0.04 g, agitation time of 1 h and initial chlorhexidine concentration 0.07 mmol/L. The ZIF-8 sustainable synthesis was efficient and generated a crystalline nanomaterial. The result shows that ZIF-8 is stable in water under ambient conditions. The ZIF-8 first generation and ZIF-8 second generation exhibit a high adsorption capacity (27.17 mg/g and 30.96 mg/g). It was found that, under the synthesis conditions, the recycled mother liquor user did not affect the final characteristics of this nanomaterial. The results indicated that the initial concentration of chlorhexidine and nano-adsorbent mass influenced the adsorption capacity. Experimental design provided the process optimum conditions (1 h, 0.04 g of adsorbent mass and 0.07 mmol/L).
Cost-Effective Biodiesel Synthesis from Waste Marble Powder as A Green Heterogeneous Catalyst Using Pongamia Pinnata Oil
Authors: GUPTA JHARNA , Agarwal Madhu
Published: March 2023

Waste marble powder (WMP) is Investigated for developing heterogeneous catalysts by calcination method and used in biodiesel synthesis by esterification-transesterification process from Pongamia Pinnata oil. Hammet indicators, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) techniques were also studied for the characterization of developed catalyst from waste marble powder (WMP). The conversion of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide in marble powder was found at 800°C after calcination. The maximum biodiesel yield reached about 94% using a 3.5 wt% catalyst, 9:1 methanol to Pongamia pinnata oil molar ratio, and 2.5 hour process time at 65°C. The biodiesel purity was tested by gas chromatography analysis. The catalyst stability was tested by recyclability test and found a small decrease in biodiesel yield up to 5 recyclability runs. The solid heterogeneous catalyst from WMP proves that the harmful waste could be converted and used as an economically efficient solid heterogeneous catalyst for sustainable biodiesel production from Pongamia Pinnata oil.

COVID-19 vaccine causes of acceptance and rejection among ‎university students ‎in Baghdad
Authors: Ali Sahyma , Hashim Raid , Ali Israa
Published: March 2023

Despite numerous recommendations concerning individual and social ‎preventive measures, including quarantine, wearing a mask, physical distancing, and ‎handwashing, vaccination with effective and safe vaccines is still the most effective ‎measure to break the chain of coronavirus SARS-Co2 transmission; still, vaccine ‎hesitancy is a significant barrier to achieve high vaccination coverage against infectious ‎diseases.‎

An observational cross-sectional study was conducted among students of ‎different universities (medical and non-medical) in Baghdad city Iraq using an online ‎structured google form questionnaire from October 20 to November 20, ‎‎2021, and a final number of 658 students were included in the study. Causes of ‎acceptance and rejection of the coronavirus vaccine were tested through the questionnaire.‎

Of the total 658 participants, 557(84.7%) had received the vaccine before the ‎start of the study and only 101 (15.3%) were not vaccinated; of them, more than half ‎‎, 58(57.4%) were willing to, and the remaining 43(42.6%) refused to receive COVID-19 ‎vaccination. Accordingly, the acceptance rate of the vaccine among the total ‎participants was 93.5%, and the rejection rate was only 6.5%.‎

The most chosen cause of vaccine acceptance was that they believed the vaccine ‎protected them, their families and the community against COVID-19 infection and its ‎complications with 63.5%. The most chosen rejection cause was fear of side effects ‎of the vaccine, with 62% of the rejecting participants, followed by 28% having doubts about the vaccine's efficiency in protecting against COVID-19 infection.‎

In this study, although the majority of the participants were willing to be ‎vaccinated, still around one-third of them were under pressure from the government ‎obligations and did not accept the vaccine due to their own convictions; education ‎programs should be designed and directed to remove barriers to negative vaccine ‎beliefs and perception to increase the vaccine coverage in the community.‎

Keywords: COVID-19 vaccination, university students, vaccine acceptance, vaccine ‎rejection.‎
Histological study and immunohistochemical expression of StAR protein in the suprarenal cortex of adult male rats associated with sleep disturbance
Authors: Mohammed Haneen A. , Kamoona Huda R. , Mahmood Khudhur Ahmed
Published: March 2023

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of sleep disturbance on histological features and evaluates the expression of StAR protein in the cortex of the adrenal gland of adult male rats. The suprarenal glands are endocrine organs that are directly affected by sleep deprivation. Sleep disturbance is a stress factor affecting steroidogenesis since it is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA). Its hormones are cholesterol-derived, and they use the Acut regulating protein of steroidogenesis StAR protein that plays an essential critical role in mediating cholesterol transfer to the inner mitochondrial membrane and the cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme system. This research aims to investigate the effects of sleep disturbance (sleep disruption and deprivation) on the histological features and changes in StAR expression in the cortex of the adrenal glands of rats. Comparing experimental groups to controls, histological alterations such as cellular hypertrophy and vascular dilatation in the cortical zones of the adrenal cortex were found mainly in the Zona fasculata Zf. Immunohistochemistry was used to identify significant changes in the level of StAR, which showed a higher value in the sleep interruption group compared to the control and sleep deprivation groups at p-value ≤ 0.001. This indicates that sleep interruption has a more significant impact on steroidogenesis than sleep deprivation, which increases the level of StAR in the suprarenal gland.
Keywords: suprarenal gland; sleep disturbance; StAR protein; steroidogenesis; circadian rhythms.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the new Coronavirus a pandemic, due to the large number of cases and deaths worldwide. The upper inhalation routes are the gateway for any viral variant, with the installation of SAR-CoV-2 in the respiratory epithelium, which, belonging to the Coronovidae family, has an acidic pH. Alkalization is a way to destabilize the pathophysiology of COVID-19. In this way, the introduction of saline solutions into the upper respiratory system would be a way of interfering with the symptomatology and behavior of the virus. Objective: To evaluate the role of inhaled 3% sodium bicarbonate solution in improving respiratory symptoms and destabilizing SAR-CoV-2 in COVID-19. Materials and methods: Randomized clinical trial, with people diagnosed with COVID-19 through the RT-PCR assay. The participants included were of any age and gender undergoing hospital treatment at the COVID-19 ward unit at the Hospital Regional Doutor Estácio Muniz, located in the municipality of Aquidauana in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, between September/2020 and November/2021. Results: It was observed that moderate/severe patients who received inhaled treatment with a 3% sodium bicarbonate solution had a good prognosis for their respiratory condition, progressing to hospital discharge. Conclusion: Treatment with sodium bicarbonate solution has a high potential in the treatment as an adjunct to COVID-19.
El engranaje de la violencia institucional y la diferencia sexual: una reflexión sobre los derechos humanos de las mujeres en detención migratoria
Authors: Fernández de la Reguera Ahedo Alethia
Published: March 2023

Este artículo expone la importancia de estudiar la política migratoria a través de una aproximación etnográfica a las prácticas y relaciones de poder que se gestan en la interacción cotidiana de las personas migrantes con las burocracias. En especial, analizo los procesos de detención migratoria y reflexiono acerca de la distancia entre la norma y su aplicación por la burocracia local, lo que puede afectar de manera particular a las mujeres migrantes. La sociología jurídica y el feminismo crítico enmarcan la mirada con la que analizo una específica forma de discriminación o violencia “suave” que se ejerce desde el Estado contra las mujeres migrantes. Retomo las paradojas planteadas por diversas teóricas sobre la valoración de las diferencias sexuales tanto en los marcos jurídicos como en políticas públicas para lograr la igualdad (Wendy Brown, 2002; Nancy Fraser, 1997; Joan W. Scott, 1992). Un punto central es el dilema de la diferencia (Luigi Ferrajoli, 2002; Martha Minow, 1985;1990), que pone en cuestión la dicotomía entre la igualdad y la diferencia, para así lograr construir formas de igualdad ciudadana que reconozcan la diferencia sexual, y que permitan contextualizar y ponderar sus efectos en el ejercicio de los derechos humanos.

Published: March 2023

Abstract: In order to equip more high-energy pulse loads and improve power supply reliability, the vessel integrated power system shows an increasing demand for high-voltage and large-capacity energy storage systems. Based on this background, this paper focuses on a super capacitor energy storage system based on a DC-DC converter. This paper analyzes the different topology of Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) and Demand Management System using HESS. Taking into account the shortcomings of the traditional bidirectional power control strategy, this paper proposes a control strategy where the HESS module of each branch independently controls the voltage of the sub-module capacitor. The outputs are validated and verified using MATLAB Simulink platform.

Authors: Juhan Siti Fadilah , Mohd Nor Siti Mariam , Mat Ali Mohd Shukri , Md Nor Siti Zulaika
Published: March 2023

Five compounds comprising 8-O-4’-neolignan (7), two arylnaphthalene lignans (5, 8), aryldihydrobenzofuran neolignan (4), and lignan (6) were synthesised by enzymatic coupling reaction using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) between vanillin (1) with methyl ferulate (2) or methyl sinapate (3). All of these compounds, as well as previously synthesised palladium-catalysed coupling products of neolignan (9), 8-O-4'-neolignan (10), arylcoumarin (11), and lignan (12), were examined for larvicidal activity against Crocidolomia binotalis 2nd instar larvae. It revealed that seven out of nine synthesised compounds had a mortality rate of more than 90% after 24 hours of exposure. Neolignan (10) and lignan (6) demonstrated the strongest larvicidal activity with LD50 = 2.218 mg/L and LD50 = 1.678 mg/L, respectively compared to the standard azadirachtin (LD50 =2.818 mg/L). The results showed that the synthesised compounds have a high potential for use in the control of C. binotalis larvae and could be used in the development of new and more effective compounds as larvicides.

Editorial: The new global marketplace — Exploring business management issues in emerging markets
Authors: Nakpodia Franklin
Published: March 2023

We are pleased to present the recent issue of the journal “Corporate and Business Strategy Review”. In the last few decades, there has been growing interest in diverse areas of management scholarship in emerging economies (Kiss et al., 2012; Meyer & Peng, 2016). A factor informing this interest is the rapid economic growth of these countries (Luo et al., 2010). Emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, and Russia have experienced significant economic growth in recent years, propelled by foreign investment, exports, and domestic consumption (Koepke, 2019). China, for instance, has experienced an average annual growth rate of around 9% in the last four decades, while the corresponding figure for India is about 7%. This economic growth is shifting the balance of economic power from developed to emerging economies as these economies increasingly become key players in the global economy, both as markets for goods and services, and as sources of investment and capital (Luo et al., 2010; Koepke, 2019).
Scented Rooms

Published: March 2023

The exposition Scented Rooms aims to be a form of resistance that finds itself in poetry and politics, poetic imagery, re-thinking censored archives, existential reflections on photography and cinema, and dance.
At the very core of the research is an important historic icon in Iran; The country's oldest theater which was burnt down by extremists during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, closed forever and has decayed over time. The burning of this theater, along with many others, was the starting point for imposing restrictions on art and culture.
The research departs contextually from the efforts of the Islamic government to control civil society. It is a reaction to a history of imposing a specific language discourse and discarding elements that represent a non-religious view, visual changes in the urban space and limiting access to specific types of information that refer to citizens’ collective memory.
Giving agency to this theater, the research aims to revive the collective and public memory of a society, being the voice of those that have been silenced for a long time.
Tunable red clusteroluminescence polymers prepared by a simple heating process

Published: March 2023

Clusteroluminescence (CL) has drawn much attention in recent years.
However, the design of red emission clusteroluminogens (CLgens) with
tunable CL is still in its infancy. Herein, we report a simple heating
process to prepare red emission Poly(maleic anhydride-alt-vinyl acetate)
(PMV) derivatives with tunable maximum emission wavelength between
620-675 nm. Firstly, heating above the glass transition temperature (Tg)
would promote the movement of polymer chains and facilitate the
formation of clusters in both solid and solution states. Then, heating
beyond the decomposition temperature at which vinyl acetate converts to
C=C is favorable to the formation of new clusters and large
through-space conjugation among subgroups in polymer chains. Their
synergistic effects realize the adjustable emission wavelength and
higher quantum yield (QY) of polymers. Additionally, the obtained
low-cost and eco-friendly derivatives of PMV also show application
prospects among agricultural light conversion film.

Published: March 2023

Aim Dysfunction of nitric oxide (NO) – soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)
– cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signalling is implicated in the
pathophysiology of cognitive impairment and dementia. Zagociguat is a
central nervous system-(CNS-) penetrant sGC stimulator designed to
amplify NO-cGMP signalling in the CNS. This article reports on a phase
1b study evaluating the safety and pharmacodynamic effects of
zagociguat. Methods In this randomized crossover study, 24 healthy
participants ≥65 years of age were planned to receive 15 mg zagociguat
or placebo once daily for two 15-day periods separated by a 27-day
washout. Adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and laboratory
tests to assess safety. Pharmacokinetics of zagociguat were evaluated in
blood and CSF. Pharmacodynamic assessments included evaluation of
cerebral blood flow, CNS tests, pharmaco-electroencephalography, passive
leg movement, and biomarkers in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain.
Results Twenty-four participants were enrolled and 12 participants
completed both treatment periods, while 12 participants completed only
one treatment period. Zagociguat was well tolerated and penetrated the
blood-brain barrier. Zagociguat induced modest decreases in blood
pressure. No consistent effects of zagociguat on other pharmacodynamic
parameters were detected. Conclusion Zagociguat was well tolerated and
induced modest systemic blood pressure reductions consistent with other
sGC stimulators. No clear pharmacodynamic effects of zagociguat were
detected, perhaps due to optimal CNS function in healthy participants.
Studies in participants with proven reduced cerebral blood flow or CNS
function may be an avenue for further evaluation of the compound.
Barriers to and attitudes towards the use of safety engineered devices for paediatric cannulation in emergency care
Authors: Martinez Rachel
Published: March 2023

This article describes a report of the attitudes towards and barriers to the use of safety cannulas in paediatric patients. The evaluation was prompted by a lack of engagement from both doctors and nurses who continued to use non-safety-engineered devices (non-SEDs) after safety-engineered devices (SEDs) were introduced into a paediatric emergency department (ED). A survey was conducted among doctors and nurses working in the paediatric ED with questions focusing on the participants’ clinical experience, views on safety, access to training and device preference, providing both quantitative and qualitative data.

Authors: Amiri Diva , Schwarz Christopher Willy , Gether Lise , Skov Lone
Published: March 2023

Facial and genital psoriasis impairs quality of life and is challenging to treat because of increased percutaneous penetration and, consequently, increased risk of adverse effects. Topical calcineurin inhibitors are recognized as a valid off-label treatment for these sensitive skin areas, but data on safety and efficacy are limited. This systematic review of the literature included 24 of 3,322 studies (5 randomized controlled trials, 9 open-label studies, 2 case series and 8 case reports). All studies demonstrated positive efficacy; 11 studies found statistically significant reductions in psoriasis severity. Local stinging, burning and itching were the most common short-term adverse effects and were reported in 18 studies. Topical calcineurin inhibitors appear to have an important role in the treatment of facial and genital psoriasis. The drugs are effective and generally well-tolerated with few adverse effects.

"Författarna tar sin utgångspunkt i vad som troligen är den mest välkända definitionen av hållbar utveckling: ”Hållbar utveckling är en utveckling som tillfredsställer dagens behov utan att äventyra kommande generationers möjligheter att tillfredsställa sina behov.” Med denna som grund konstaterar de att hållbar utveckling innebär ett paradigmskifte som inbegriper radikala förändringar i hur vi ser på vår egen roll i världen."

The inculcation of values begins from the Banjar leaders and administrators, heads of families, and their members, which has implications for improving the health of individuals, families, and communities. Tri Hita Karana values must be implemented holistically and integratively to enhance health quality.
