Published: February 2024

With the increase in environmental concern, alternatives for the use of resources that are less harmful to the environment have been explored, including materials and construction methods. In this context, there is a growing search for new construction processes, especially container buildings, which have gained popularity and acceptance in society, being applied in both commercial and residential contexts. The main attractions for those interested in acquiring a container construction are the reduction of costs and the shortening of the execution time of the work. This is due to the minimization of waste generated during construction and the recycling of metal boxes, which would otherwise remain useless in ports. This advantage goes beyond the economic benefits, contributing to adding sustainable value to the project. This paper aims to discuss the feasibility analysis of the use of containers as a sustainable and financially advantageous proposal compared to conventional methods of structural construction for housing. Through a literature review, evidence of the feasibility and reuse of shipping containers for housing purposes is presented, exploring viable alternatives for the use of waste. The comparative study is based on the parameters established by the National System of Research on Costs and Indices of Civil Construction – SINAPI. The steps include the initial survey of all the improvements and adaptations necessary to provide housing conditions, considering standards of acoustic comfort, lighting, and ventilation. The results indicate that the reuse of the container results in savings of approximately 10% compared to masonry construction. Therefore, this approach has numerous advantages, being a financially viable, fast, and flexible solution for new architectural arrangements, in addition to incorporating architectural innovations aligned with environmental awareness.

Published: February 2024

This paper aims to use and manufacture recycled aggregate from the use of RCD (construction and demolition waste) for partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate in the manufacture of concrete for structural purposes. Partial replacements were made with between 10% and 20% recycled aggregate. Six experimental groups were created, two for reference and four for comparison. Each group comprised eight (8) cylindrical specimens (dimensions of 100 mm x 200 mm) and a beam (dimensions of 150 mm x 150 mm x 600 mm). The results indicated the feasibility of replacing up to 20% of natural aggregate with recycled aggregate, according to the processing procedures outlined in this study, particularly in relation to compression properties. Furthermore, the validity of substitution of up to 10% for evaluations of tensile strength in compression was verified, showing an analogous behavior between the corresponding samples.
RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN BRAZIL: REFLECTIONS FROM A DECOLONIAL TURN ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCIENCE AND RELIGION
Authors: Prado Cecília de Oliveira , Dietrich Ana Maria
Published: February 2024

The relationship between science and religion has been the subject of discussion throughout history, and in Brazil, this discussion also involves issues of religious intolerance. In this context, this article sets out to discuss the relationship between science and religion from the perspective of a decolonial turn, in order to reveal how the colonial heritage has influenced attitudes of religious intolerance experienced in Brazil, both in the educational and religious spheres. The aim of this article is to understand how Brazil's colonial heritage has influenced attitudes of religious intolerance and how the decolonial perspective can contribute to building a more just and tolerant society in relation to religious differences. To achieve this goal, a narrative review was carried out using the Capes Portal, Scielo, Sucupira, Google Scholar, Academia Edu, BDTD and Redalyc platforms as databases. The inclusion criteria were studies that addressed the relationship between science and religion in the Brazilian context, considering the decolonial perspective and religious intolerance. The literature review showed that discussions on the relationship between science and religion in the Brazilian context are still scarce and little explored from a decolonial perspective. In addition, religious intolerance is a reality in various areas of Brazilian society, including education and religion. Considering these difficulties found in the literature and the sensitivity of the subject, it is essential that more studies and research are carried out on the relationship between science and religion from a decolonial perspective, in order to promote critical reflection and a paradigm shift in relation to religious differences. In conclusion, the relationship between science and religion in Brazil is still marked by a colonial heritage that influences attitudes of religious intolerance and further debate and study should be conducted, even though it is a sensitive subject.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is an important crop and is a staple food in many countries across the globe; since they are a good source of nutrients including zinc (Zn). Zn is essential for plant growth and development, and a zinc deficiency can significantly impact crop productivity as well as the nutritional quality of the produce. The value of enrichment with Zn in many crops by applying Zn either to foliar or soil through agronomic biofortification has been investigated, but this information is still unavailable for sweet potatoes. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the effect of soil and foliar Zn applications on yield, biochemical traits, and nutrient concentrations of different sweet potato genotypes. The study was conducted using a split-plot design with treatments of two doses (0 and 2.5 kg Zn ha-1) of soil application and four doses (0, 15, 30, and 45 ppm) of foliar application of Zn on five sweet potato genotypes (SP-2, SP-14, SP-15, SP-16, SP-20). It was observed that growth and yield performance as well as nutrient concentrations in the tubers of sweet potatoes were greatly influenced by Zn application method and genotype. An increasing rate of foliar Zn, with or without soil-applied Zn, showed an increasing trend in amino acid, β-carotene, flavonoid, and phenolic content. The foliar Zn application had a more obvious effect on most of the examined traits than the soil Zn application and except for a few characteristics (dry matter and amino acids), most traits responded up to the foliar application of 15 ppm Zn, and thereafter no increase was seen with further increments of foliar Zn application.

Document examination is one of the main types of investigations in forensic science, particularly in cases involving questioned documents. These documents include assorted forms of written or printed texts on different substrates (paper, banknotes, etc.) with uncertain authenticity. Ink analysis plays a vital role in document examination. It is often focused on understanding the chemical composition of the ink, which can be colorants, solvents, vehicles, and additives. Document examiners utilize several analytical tools including laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The use of this instrument has gained prominence for its ability to detect multiple elements, offer straightforward sample preparation, minimize sample destruction, and provide fast and accurate readings. This paper reviews previous research that employed LIBS for document examination, highlighting its modern applications and approaches in analysing various types of documents. Furthermore, this paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of this instrument as a viable technique in the field of document examination.

Published: February 2024

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most lethal cancer with more than one million new cases diagnosed worldwide every year. To defuse the increasing CRC threat, more effective and less harmful treatments for CRC patients are urgently needed. Computational drug repurposing, which is an in silico based approach to uncover new indications of approved drugs, is a promising strategy to accelerate the time to market of drugs. However, there are not many computational drug repurposing methods for CRC. In this work, we proposed drug-network-based classification models to identify repurposable drugs for CRC. Initially, four drug networks, the chemical structure network (CSN), the target protein network (TPN), the drug pathway network (PWN), and the drug-drug interaction network (DIN), were formulated. Based on the drug features properly extracted from the networks, we created four multi-layer perceptron (MLP) models. By comparing the performance of the models, the DIN model outperformed the others with the highest accuracy and an F1 score of 96.9%. After predicting the repurposability of over 1,200 non-CRC approved drugs using the DIN model, 306 drugs discovered as potentially repurposable drugs for CRC. In summary, the drug-network-based classification models can efficiently identify repurposable drug candidates for CRC, which would be applicable for efficient therapeutic treatment of CRC.

Published: February 2024

High bacterial infection cases in Indonesia cause a high need for antibiotic drugs. Unfortunately, most of the raw materials used for antibiotic production in Indonesia are still imported. For this reason, the government is eager to find better ways to produce penicillin and its derivatives, which are widely used in society. The production of penicillin-derivative requires penicillin G acylase (PGA) as a catalyst. In previous studies, the expression of the syn-pac gene in E. coli BL21(DE3) to produce a recombinant PGA enzyme was performed, but the enzyme activity was low (0.01754 U/mg). Thus, the expression was carried out in different hosts and inducers. The purpose of this research was to obtain the production of PGA with higher enzyme activity. The transformation was carried out in the pET22b-pacEc in E. coli BL21(DE3) and HB101. For enzyme expression, the recombinant hosts were induced by 0.05 mM IPTG, 176 mM lactose, and 1998 mM arabinose at a temperature of 20°C and 150 rpm of shaking for 17 h. Protein isolation was performed by sonication and freeze-thawing to recover biologically active PGA. Verification of PGA was performed by SDS-PAGE and the enzyme activity was tested by pDAB. E. coli HB101 produced PGA with higher activity (10.17 U/mg) than BL21(DE3) (6.67 U/mg), and arabinose was the strongest inducer for enzyme expression.

Purpose: POSBINDU NCDs is a community forum to carry out early detection, monitoring, and follow-up on NCD risk factors independently and continuously. The research purpose is to analyze the implementation of the POSBINDU NCDs Program policy in the working area of Kapasa Public Health Center. This research uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach. The data were analyzed using content analysis (content analysis). Interviews were conducted with 8 informants including 3 key informants and 5 supporting informants.
 
Research Results: Communication between implementers was carried out through socialization, several cadres were not active, and the budget was not maximized so the facilities were inadequate for places and equipment for medical check-ups. Several SOP activities have not been implemented and only a few implementers support the disposition or attitude of and are less committed to implementing the program.
 
Conclusion: In implementing the Posbindu NCDs program policy, the implementer's socialization activities have not gone well so the target coverage has not been achieved in the program. Human resources are still lacking both in terms of quality and quantity and the budget is inadequate so there are no medical check-up tools and facilities are not yet available. The SOP is a procedure for implementing the program based on the implementing SOP from the Makassar City Health Service. Specific suggestions for the Kapasa Public Health Center to be more highly committed to the program by ensuring appropriate target coverage.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this work is to describe the nature of copyright can be applied in the context of cosplay activities and the challenges and obstacles faced by cosplayers in understanding and respecting copyright and brands in cosplay practice.
 
Theoretical framework: Cosplay is an adaptation of creation, where the process of making cosplay costumes and accessories is carried out by changing the form of a sketch design/drawing of a costume or character design into a costume that can be used in real life. Copyright regulates provisions regarding legal protection for adaptations of works.
 
Design/methodology/data analysis: The research methods used in this article are analytical and descriptive approaches. Data is collected through literature studies that include articles, journals, books, and other reliable sources. The data is then analysed and interpreted to identify challenges and barriers in understanding copyright in cosplay, as well as to conduct legal comparisons between different countries.
 
Findings: Copyright protection is important in cosplay, with the potential for infringement if using character and brand works without permission. Cosplayers need to understand boundaries and communicate with the original owner to avoid violations. Cosplayers face challenges in understanding and respecting copyright and brands, including limited legal understanding and difficulty obtaining official permission. It is important for them to continue to deepen understanding and communicate with the original owner to avoid violations.
 
Originality/value: This article focuses on character copyright protection in Cosplay, where it is necessary to clearly regulate whether cosplay violates copyright or does not violate copyright.
 
Practical implications: Cosplay creators need to understand well the copyright regulations in a country, to know whether their actions violate copyright or not. Law enforcers need to understand and re-examine whether the act of cosplay violates the economic rights of the creator or not.

FINE, CONDEMNATION AND RECOGNITION: GROUNDS FOR EXTINGUISHING THE PUNISHMENT OF VULNERABLE PERSONS
Authors: Lima Lucas Ferreira Mazete , Buonicore Bruno Tadeu
Published: February 2024

This article seeks to analyze the contours of the fine penalty and its implication in the execution of sentence and resocialization of economically vulnerable. To do so, it starts from the decision of the Superior Court of Justice in the revision of the understanding signed in the Repetitive Theme 931. Thus, it seeks theoretical grounds for extinction of the punishability in cases of default of those who do not have financial resources, since the penalty of a fine can show itself as a punishment of poverty.

Background. In seasonally anovulatory goats, sexually active bucks led a high pregnancy rate during a mating period of 36 days. Progesterone priming of does can reduce the length of the mating period while maintaining high fertility by allowing oestrous behaviour at the first male-induced ovulation. Objective. To determine whether high fertilization rates could be achieved by using two sexually active bucks, alternated daily for a period of seven days in four successive groups of does. Methodology. Two control bucks were used only with one group of does (n = 19), whereas two experimental bucks were successively housed with four groups of does (n = 18 or 19 each). One of the control and experimental bucks was introduced to their respective groups in the morning and removed 24 h later to rest for 24 h. Immediately after the removal of the first buck, the second buck was placed with the group of does. Each doe was treated with 25 mg of progesterone im 48 h prior to the first introduction of bucks to reduce short ovulatory cycles. Results. In each group, the proportion of does that ovulated was higher than 93%. These proportions did not differ among groups exposed to the control or experimental bucks (P > 0.05). In each group, the proportion of pregnant does was higher than 78%; proportions did not differ among groups (P > 0.05). Implications. At farms with few bucks, efficient management of sexually active bucks can yield a high percentage of pregnant females. Conclusion. These results indicate that two sexually active bucks housed with four successive groups of progesterone-treated anovulatory does during a mating period of seven days were able to achieve high pregnancy rates.

Background: Animal growth modeling is a tool that enables the acquisition of parameters to evaluate animal performance and predict outcomes for decision-making. Objective: To describe the growth of male guinea pigs of the Peruvian breed using the non-linear Brody, Gompertz, Logistic, and Von Bertalanffy models. Methodology: Twelve male guinea pigs with an initial weight of 393 ± 55 g were housed in metabolic cages with ad libitum feeding of a complete pellet diet. They were weighed every seven days for 13 weeks until reaching 1197 ± 84 g. Criteria used to assess the model's fitting ability included the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), coefficient of determination (R2), concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), and mean squared prediction error (CMEP). Results: The Logistic model consistently predicted maturity weight (1421g), initial weight (187g), age (65 days), and weight (711g) at the growth curve inflection point. Gompertz and Von Bertalanffy's models tended to overestimate adult weight (A) and exhibited the lowest maturity index (k). Among Gompertz, Logistic, and Von Bertalanffy models, AIC, BIC, R2, CCC, and CMEP fitting criteria showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). Implications: The Brody model was the only one with biologically inconsistent parameters. Conclusion: Considering the biological significance of parameters and residual analysis, the Logistic model is more suitable for describing the growth curve of male guinea pigs of the Peruvian breed.

Published: February 2024

Background. Climate change models have projected an increase in the distribution of certain crop pests of economic importance by forecasting more favorable future conditions for these organisms. In citrus farming, Huanglongbing is one of the most devastating diseases worldwide, since it has caused the death of millions of trees. Objetive. The objective of this study was to estimate the current and future distribution of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in Mexico, under the climate change scenarios SSP2 4.5 and SSP5 8.5, for the years 2050 and 2070. Methodology. Distribution models were generated with MaxEnt and R, using uncorrelated bioclimatic variables from eight General Circulation Models (GCM) derived from CMIP6 and disease presence data. Results. The results indicate that the current suitability is 44.6 %. The future distribution depended on how model predictions were pooled. An optimistic approach that considered the intersection of all models showed a small reduction of 4.1% while, considering the union of all the GCM models, the increase will vary from 12.3 to 20.1 % of the Mexican territory depending on the particular scenario and time projection. Implications. The zones of potential occurrence of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus include most of the citrus-growing areas in Mexico. Conclusion. In some regions, future scenarios show a reduction in the potential occurrence of the species in citrus plantations. However, the risk remains because its surroundings include suitable areas that can be sources of dissemination of the disease.

The present study was undertaken with the objective to evaluate the performance of Kadaknath chicken under deep litter system in agro-climatic condition of Meghalaya to check for its adaptability in the hill ecosystem. The study was conducted at Poultry Farm, Indian Council of Agricultural Research ( ICAR)Complex for North Eastern Hill (NEH) Region, Umiam, India.  A total of 300 Kadaknath parent stock chicks were procured from Directorate of Poultry Research (DPR), Hyderabad, India. The chicks were reared upto 72nd weeks to check their production performance viz., Average weekly body weight (gm), body weight gain (gm), feed intake (gm) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Egg production traits and reproductive performances were also recorded upto 72 weeks of rearing. The result reveals that the average body weight of day old Kadaknath chicks was about 27.05±0.32 gm. At 4th week of age, the average body weight was 117.37±2.69 gm andat 8th week of age, about 250.34±2.51 gm. In terms of average body weight gain (gm), it was found that the overall body weight gain from 0-8 weeks of age was 223.29±14.39 gm. The total feed consumption was about 771.43±1.94 gm upto 8th weeks of rearing. The FCR from 0-8 weeks of age was 3.56. The mortality rate of kadaknath chicks was observed to be about 5.00 % and 0.67 % during 0-4 and 4-8 weeks of age respectively. In conclusion, the Kadaknath chicken is adapted well to the hill ecosystem of Meghalaya.

AIMS: Many cardiovascular events occur in seemingly healthy individuals.We set out to assess the predictive value of atherosclerosis imaging in combination with cardiovascular risk calculators in subjects aged 40–65 years.
METHODS: We compared PROCAM (PROspective CArdiovascular Münster study), SCORE (Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation) and SCORE2 with carotid ultrasound (total plaque area, TPA) in subjects without cardiovascular disease. In this prospective cohort study, follow-up was obtained by phone or mail from patients; or from clinical records, if needed.
RESULTS: In 2842 subjects (mean age 50±8 years; 38% women), cardiovascular events occurred in 154 (5.4%) of them over an mean follow-up period of 5.9 (range 1–12) years, specifically: 41 cases of AMI (myocardial infarction), 16 strokes, 21 CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting), 41 PTCA (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty) and 35 CAD (coronary artery disease). Mean PROCAM risk was 5±6%, mean SCORE risk was 1.3±1.6% and mean SCORE2 risk was 5±3%. Both for the primary outcome (major adverse cardiovascular events, MACEs, i.e. AMI + strokes) and the secondary outcome (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, ASCVD, i.e. MACEs + CABG + CAD + PTCA), hazards increased significantly for TPA tertiles and SCORE2 post-test risk between 6.7 to 12.8 after adjustment for risk factors (age, smoke, sex, systolic blood pressure, lipids, medication) and after adjustment for results from PROCAM, SCORE and SCORE2. Model performance was statistically improved regarding model fit in all models using TPA. Net reclassification improvement for SCORE2 with TPA post-test risk increased significantly by 24% for MACEs (p = 0.01) and 39% for ASCVD (p <0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Integration of TPA post-test risk into SCORE2 adds prognostic information, supporting the use of carotid ultrasound when assessing ASCVD risk in subjects aged 40–65 years.

This paper investigates the determinants of demand for meat products in Damaturu, Yobe State in Nigeria utilizing primary data. A combination of multi-stage and purposive sampling methods were implemented to select 150 participants using a structured questionnaire. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression model.The study revealed that beef was the most preferred type of meat, garnering a preference rate of 73.3%. Interestingly, mutton registered the highest average monthly expenditure among households, amounting to ₦22,986. All the three meat products were found to be negative (elastic) and statistically significant at 1%. Notably, the elasticity coefficient for beef was the most sensitive to its price with the coefficient of -23.78.  Similarly, the cross-price elasticity suggested complementarity among all the meat products. Income on the other hand,had a positive correlation with meat products expenditure across all types and statistically significant at the 1% level respectively. The coefficient of Beef showed the strongest positive relationship with its expenditure although the magnitude of coefficients for all meat types confirmed that they were all luxury products. Lastly, family size was inversely related to expenditure on all meat types, though this relationship was only statistically significant in the case of beef expenditure. The study concludes that there is a positive outlook for small ruminant farming in the state. Consequently, the study recommends support for livestock farmers through subsidies, training, and improved access to markets, consumer income enhancement programs and nutrition education campaigns to raise awareness about the nutritional value of various meats, including more cost-effective options.
Another Look at a Knowledge Organization Pioneer: Traces of Racism in Paul Otlet’s Writings
Authors: Ibekwe Fidelia
Published: February 2024

Critical strand of studies in Knowl­edge Organization (KO) and Library and Information Science (LIS) have been focused on gender bias and power inherent in the classification of knowl­edge artefacts. From the mid-2000s, attention turned to other types of biases notably racial biases. These studies have exposed and rightly critiqued how the supposedly “universal” classification and knowl­edge artefacts designed by LIS and KO pioneers were designed mostly by white men. Wiegand (1996) demonstrated that Melvil Dewey, the creator of DCC, was a notorious racist and antisemite. This paper raises the issue of how the LIS and KO communities have dealt with the legacy of one its most celebrated pioneers, Paul Otlet, whose writings had imprints of white supremacist ideologies at least in two of his texts ‘Afrique aux Noirs’ and ‘Monde. Essai d’universalisme’. In particular, we speculate about the quasi-omerta that had surrounded Otlet’s writings on race and racial relations considering the amount of exegesis done on his works. The one-sided narrative portraying Otlet mostly in a positive light and magnifying his works has led to epistemicide and “documentary injustice”.
Von der Armut am Geiste
Authors: Dogà Ulisse
Published: February 2024

In diesem Band widmet sich Ulisse Dogà dem Frühwerk des ungarischen Philosophen und stellt dabei vor allem die sogenannten Dostojewski-Notizen (1914-1915) in den Vordergrund. Systematisch werden die Kategorien herausgearbeitet, die Lukács in Auseinandersetzung mit der antiken, mittelalterlichen und modernen Theologie und Philosophie, mit Dostojewski und der Geschichte des russischen Terrorismus und mit der zeitgenössischen Soziologie und Literatur entwickelt hat. Die Studie rekonstruiert Lukács’ Phänomenologie der west­lichen Kultur, die auf die von Dostojewski verkündete Idee einer Utopie der brüderlichen Gemeinschaft zulaufen sollte, zeigt die Gründe ihres Scheiterns auf und zeichnet dadurch auch eine Art geistiges Porträt des jungen Philosophen.
Musik und kulturelles Gedächtnis
Authors: Achhorner Bernhard Alexander
Published: February 2024

„Mit dem ‚Hellau‘-Juchzer bekundet in unserem Gau nicht nur der für wehrfähig erklärte Jungmann seine Freude […], sondern dieser Ruf gilt bei uns ganz allgemein als Ausdruck der Daseinsfreude und Kampfeslust. So soll auch dies ‚Hellau‘-Liederbuch als Ausdruck unserer Wesensart gewertet werden: Klingendes Bekennen arteigener Daseinsfreude und jahrhundertalten Wehrbauerntumes!“

Im Vorwort des Gauleiters Hofer zum Gauliederbuch tritt die enge Verschränkung von Musik und „Blut-und-Boden-ideologischer“ Inhalte im kulturpolitischen Programm des Gaues Tirol-Vorarlberg auf paradoxe Art und Weise hervor. Mit den Mitteln der Gedächtnis-, Ritual- und Mythentheorien dekonstruiert Bernhard Achhorner in der vorliegenden Untersuchung die Mechanismen der kulturessentialistischen, chauvinistischen und nationalistischen Instrumentalisierung von Musik. Sein Untersuchungsfokus liegt dabei auf den formativen und identitätsstiftenden Texten des Tiroler Musiklebens von 1938-1945.

Die vorliegende Studie fragt – ausgehend von historiographischen, kunst- und kulturgeschichtlichen Texten Jacob Burckhardts (1818-1897) – danach, wie ‚Repräsentation‘ im 19. Jahrhundert gedacht wird. Dazu werden zeitgenössische ästhetische Wirklichkeitsproduktionen aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen daraufhin untersucht, wie sie Texturen ausbilden und so dazu beitragen, eine für das 19. Jahrhundert charakteristische kulturelle Matrix zu bilden. Dies betrifft als Kontext zu Burckhardts Stil neben den Techniken der Geschichtswissenschaft und der Kunstgeschichte auch Verfahrensweisen der Ausstopfungskunst, der Museologie und der Stiltheorie. Sie alle befördern eine Bild- bzw. Darstellungstheorie, die sich in Burckhardts Schreibverfahren wiederfinden lässt.
Mimesis – Subjektivität – Realismus
Authors: Göcht Daniel
Published: February 2024

In seinem Spätwerk Die Eigenart des Ästhetischen unternimmt Georg Lukács einen großangelegten Versuch der Grundlegung einer dialektischen und materialistischen Ästhetik. Lukács verortet die Entstehung des Ästhetischen und die Produktion von Kunstwerken im Prozess der praktischen Auseinandersetzung der Menschen mit der Natur. Er entwickelt unter Rückgriff auf die philosophische Tradition und die marxistische Widerspiegelungstheorie seinen Begriff der Kunst, den er in eine Perspektive der Befreiung der Menschheit stellt. Die vorliegende Studie rekonstruiert Lukács’ ästhetische Theorie anhand ihrer zentralen Konzepte und analysiert sie kritisch in ihrem Zusammenhang. Lukács’ materialistische Ästhetik erweist sich letztlich als moderner, als ihr gemeinhin zugestanden wird, und als fruchtbarer Anknüpfungspunkt für aktuelle kunstphilosophische Debatten.
