Configuration method of BESS in the wind farm and photovoltaic plant considering active and reactive power coordinated optimization
Authors: Zhang Li , Huang Weigang , Kang Peng , Zeng Linfeng , Zheng Yong , Zheng Feng
Published: October 2021

To promote the coordinated development between renewable energy and the distribution network, a capacity allocation model of battery energy storage systems (BESS) is proposed to achieve the coordinated optimization for active and reactive power flow, which can reduce the voltage deviation and improve the absorptive capacity for renewable energy. In addition, BESS with four-quadrant operation characteristics, on-load tap changer, and capacitor banks are treated as flexible devices to improve the adaptability for renewable energy fluctuations. In view of the uncertainties of renewable energy caused by the inaccuracy of historical sample data, a set of extreme scenarios with the characteristics of temporal and spatial correlation are considered to obtain a robust BESS configuration decision. The big-M approach and the second-order conic relaxation technique are utilized to convert the BESS capacity allocation model into a mixed-integer linear programming problem. Finally, the IEEE 33-node distribution system is taken as an example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Published: October 2021

Millions of Americans have been infected with COVID-19 and communities of color have been disproportionately burdened. We investigated the relationship between demographic characteristics and COVID-19 positivity, and comorbidities and severe COVID-19 illness (use of mechanical ventilation and length of stay) within a racial/ethnic minority population. Patients tested for COVID-19 between March 2020 and January 2021 (N = 14171) were 49.9% (n = 7072) female; 50.1% (n = 7104) non-Hispanic Black; 33.2% (n = 4698) Hispanic; and 23.6% (n = 3348) aged 65+. Overall COVID-19 positivity was 16.1% (n = 2286). Compared to females, males were 1.1 times more likely to test positive (p = 0.014). Compared to non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic persons were 1.4 (p = 0.003) and 2.4 (p<0.001) times more likely, respectively, to test positive. Compared to persons ages 18–24, the odds of testing positive were statistically significantly higher for every age group except 25–34, and those aged 65+ were 2.8 times more likely to test positive (p<0.001). Adjusted for race, sex, and age, COVID-positive patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were 1.9 times more likely to require a ventilator compared to those without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p = 0.001). Length of stay was not statistically significantly associated with any of the comorbidity variables. Our findings emphasize the importance of documenting COVID-19 disparities in marginalized populations.
Hepcidin induces intestinal calcium uptake while suppressing iron uptake in Caco-2 cells
Authors: Phoaubon Supathra , Lertsuwan Kornkamon , Teerapornpuntakit Jarinthorn , Charoenphandhu Narattaphol
Published: October 2021

Abnormal calcium absorption and iron overload from iron hyperabsorption can contribute to osteoporosis as found in several diseases, including hemochromatosis and thalassemia. Previous studies in thalassemic mice showed the positive effects of the iron uptake suppressor, hepcidin, on calcium transport. However, whether this effect could be replicated in other conditions is not known. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of hepcidin on iron and calcium uptake ability under physiological, iron uptake stimulation and calcium uptake suppression. To investigate the potential mechanism, effects of hepcidin on the expression of iron and calcium transporter and transport-associated protein in Caco-2 cells were also determined. Our results showed that intestinal cell iron uptake was significantly increased by ascorbic acid together with ferric ammonium citrate (FAC), but this phenomenon was suppressed by hepcidin. Interestingly, hepcidin significantly increased calcium uptake under physiological condition but not under iron uptake stimulation. While hepcidin significantly suppressed the expression of iron transporter, it had no effect on calcium transporter expression. This indicated that hepcidin-induced intestinal cell calcium uptake did not occur through the stimulation of calcium transporter expression. On the other hand, 1,25(OH)2D3 effectively induced intestinal cell calcium uptake, but it did not affect intestinal cell iron uptake or iron transporter expression. The 1,25(OH)2D3-induced intestinal cell calcium uptake was abolished by 12 mM CaCl2; however, hepcidin could not rescue intestinal cell calcium uptake suppression by CaCl2. Taken together, our results showed that hepcidin could effectively and concurrently induce intestinal cell calcium uptake while reducing intestinal cell iron uptake under physiological and iron uptake stimulation conditions, suggesting its therapeutic potential for inactive calcium absorption, particularly in thalassemic patients or patients who did not adequately respond to 1,25(OH)2D3.
Changes in dead space components during pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation: A secondary analysis of a randomized trial
Authors: Hirabayashi Go , Yokose Yuuki , Nagata Kohei , Oshika Hiroyuki , Saito Minami , Akihisa Yuki , Maruyama Koichi , Andoh Tomio
Published: October 2021

Background

We previously reported that there were no differences between the lung-protective actions of pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation and volume control ventilation based on the changes in serum cytokine levels. Dead space represents a ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and can enable us to understand the heterogeneity and elapsed time changes in ventilation-perfusion mismatch.

Methods

This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial of patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. The inspiratory to expiratory ratio was adjusted individually by observing the expiratory flow-time wave in the pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation group (n = 14) and was set to 1:2 in the volume-control ventilation group (n = 13). Using volumetric capnography, the physiological dead space was divided into three dead space components: airway, alveolar, and shunt dead space. The influence of pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation and time factor on the changes in each dead space component rate was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon’s signed rank test.

Results

The physiological dead space and shunt dead space rate were decreased in the pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation group compared with those in the volume control ventilation group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.003, respectively), and both dead space rates increased with time in both groups. The airway dead space rate increased with time, but the difference between the groups was not significant. There were no significant changes in the alveolar dead space rate.

Conclusions

Pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation reduced the physiological dead space rate, suggesting an improvement in the total ventilation/perfusion mismatch due to improved inflation of the alveoli affected by heterogeneous expansion disorder without hyperinflation of the normal alveoli. However, the shunt dead space rate increased with time, suggesting that atelectasis developed with time in both groups.
The Defence by Design framework: Conceptual foundations and potential applications
Authors: Wrigley Cara , Rana Harjit , Hinton Peta , Mosely Genevieve
Published: October 2021

With rapid advancements in technology radically impacting and changing current ways of working globally, many industries and sectors, including the Defence force, are implementing new approaches to respond to and address these challenges. Design thinking is one approach to assist in this response, as it provides a novel process for solving complex problems. This article presents a specific design approach for addressing contextual Defence problems in the form of a design thinking framework based on a review of the existing literature concerning design and Defence. The article contends with the role of design as a value-added methodology in Defence strategy and development, and it reports on a unique set of design thinking capabilities for a Defence-specific context that are not only essential for the implementation of a design-led approach to innovation but are of great assistance in overcoming its associated challenges. The Defence by Design framework works with an identified military objective that, when applied, overcomes the natural bias that Defence personnel may exhibit during routine gaps and opportunities analysis. By detailing the different stages of the framework, and demonstrating their iterative nature, through the documentation of a working example – ‘Man Overboard’ – this article presents a new approach yet to be realized in Defence globally.
Criterios de elección de centro y segregación escolar en la ciudad de Valencia
Authors: Fajardo Magraner Félix , Salom Carrasco Julia , Pitarch Garrido María Dolores
Published: October 2021

El objetivo de este estudio es conocer cuáles son los patrones que intervienen en la elección de centro escolar y detectar los factores sociodemográficos, económicos y de localización que subyacen tras ellos. Para ello, se ha realizado una encuesta a la demanda potencial de los centros públicos que imparten el segundo ciclo de educación infantil en la ciudad de Valencia. Los resultados indican que el principal criterio de elección de centro escolar es la proximidad entre el hogar y el colegio, y que el modo de desplazamiento más utilizado es el peatonal. Sin embargo, los costes de desplazamiento y los medios utilizados están directamente relacionados con las características socioeconómicas de las familias y con la morfología urbana de los barrios en los que se ubican los centros educativos y las residencias de los menores. Además, también existen diferencias de género en el cuidado de los menores y en la tarea de acompañamiento escolar. Por tanto, la elección de centro escolar implica un proceso de segregación que responde a factores demográficos, socioeconómicos y espaciales y que han de ser valorados por los planificadores de la red escolar a fin de garantizar un acceso a la educación pública en condiciones de equidad.
Yak Domestication: A Review of Linguistic, Archaeological, and Genetic Evidence
Authors: Jacques Guillaume , D'Alpoim Guedes Jade , Zhang Shuya
Published: October 2021

Yak, a species of bovid uniquely adapted to high-altitude environments, plays a critical role in the life of the inhabitants of the Tibetan Plateau and neighboring areas. There is currently no consensus on when these animals may have been domesticated. In this paper, we review the archaeological, genetic, and linguistic evidence relevant to this question, and suggest that the domestication took place following hybridization with taurine cattle from the end of the fourth millennium BCE. This study also shows that the original domesticators of yaks included not only the ancestors of the Tibetans, but also Rgyalrongic speaking people from Eastern Tibet.
Lectotypification and authorship of the name of Melilotus tauricus (Fabaceae)
Authors: Talovina Galina V.
Published: October 2021

The article addresses the issue of lectotype designation of Melilotus tauricus (Fabaceae) and the authorship of this binomial. The species was described by F. Marschall von Bieberstein in 1819 as Trifolium, but no type was cited. The lectotype of Melilotus tauricus has not yet been designated. It is chosen here from among the original material stored in the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute, RAS (LE). It is also revealed that the priority of the combination belongs to C. Ledebour (1823) – M. tauricus (M. Bieb.) Ledeb. – instead of N. Seringe (1825) as it was previously believed.
A taxonomic revision of Selaginella monospora Spring (Selaginellaceae)
Authors: Shalimov Alexander P. , Zhang Xian-Chun
Published: October 2021

During a taxonomic revision of Selaginella from the Himalaya which is a part of the ongoing “Flora of Pan-Himalaya” project, we studied the taxonomy of Selaginella monospora and its closely related species. We found that S. microclada once treated as a synonym of S. monospora should be accepted as a distinct species. In contrast, S. trichophylla, S. monospora var. ciliolata, S. medogensis, and S. effusa var. dulongjiangensis are reduced to synonymy of S. monospora based on molecular phylogenetic analyses and morphological characters. Selaginella monospora is characterized by denticulate to ciliolate leaves and strongly dimorphic sporophylls vs. denticulate leaves and slightly dimorphic sporophylls in S. microclada. A lectotypification of S. medogensis was also made in the present study.

Notes on taxonomy of Erysimum (Erysimeae, Cruciferae) of Russia and adjacent states. II. Middle Asian purple- and orange-flowered species
Authors: German Dmitry A.
Published: October 2021

Results of taxonomic revision of Middle Asian violet- and orange-flowered wallflowers are presented. Five (vs. eight as traditionally considered) species are recognised. Thus, A. Polatschek’s four-species concept introduced in 2010 is generally supported in terms of lower species diversity of the group in question, though nomenclature is updated in various details including the newly proposed assignment of E. jodonyx to synonymy of E. samarkandicum. Lectotypes are designated for the names E. cyaneum, E. epikeimenum, E. franchetii, E. purpureum var. turkestanicum, E. samarkandicum, E. tianschanicum and E. violascens var. tschimganicum; typification of E. franchetii established on the taxonomically heterogenous material is done in agreement with its existing usage as a synonym of E. samarkandicum (not E. violascens). Redundancy of lectotypification of E. alaicum for which the holotype is extant is demonstrated. Further aspects of systematics, nomenclature, morphology and geography of the treated species are briefly discussed as well.
Maintaining the Mobility of Motor Cars:
Authors: Krebs Stefan
Published: October 2021

Stefan Krebs uses the case of Germany to investigate maintenance and repair as a central part of automobility. The chapter will look at two sides of car repair as the need to maintain the mobility function and the practice of a hobbyist consumer activity that promised status, community and identity. It highlights four aspects that framed repair as a necessary part of car consumption: the (un-)reliability of automobile technology; the emergence of a car repair infrastructure; repair costs, which determined to a large extent whether one could afford to drive a car; and DIY repair practices. The success and widespread adoption of automobiles as consumer products was closely tied to the availability of affordable repair services, and the emergence of a large-scale car repair infrastructure was a prerequisite for mass motorisation.
Recovering migrant spaces in Laurent Maffre's graphic novel Demain, Demain
Authors: Luna-Dubois Álvaro
Published: October 2021

This chapter centres on the graphic novel series Demain, demain (2012-2019) by Laurent Maffre that narrates the journey of an Algerian family living in a shantytown at the outskirts of Paris as well as their subsequent relocation to a temporary housing unit. Written and designed in conjunction with archival research and collaborations with scholars, activists, and former shantytown inhabitants, Demain, demain provides a reflection on the broad spatial effects of migration. In order to interrogate the ways in which space is narrated and anchored by Maffre's graphic novel, the chapter first contextualizes the work within the tradition of French shantytowns narratives. The subsequent analyses concentrate on the narration of domestic place both as subjective and material representations that challenge official narratives of migration in France. This, in turn, will provide critical insights into the contributions that the graphic novel brings to the study of France as a dynamic space marked by past and ongoing migrations affecting society as a whole-a component central to the concept of postmigration.

Authors: Domhoff Dominik , Seibert Kathrin , Rothgang Heinz , Wolf-Ostermann Karin
Published: October 2021

Dominik Domhoff, Kathrin Seibert, Heinz Rothgang und Karin Wolf-Ostermann gehen in diesem Beitrag der Frage nach, welche Kommunikationstechnologien von ambulanten und stationären Pflegeeinrichtungen während der COVID-19-Pandemie genutzt wurden und welche Merkmale diese Nutzung beeinflussten. Dafür werteten sie Fragebögen von 1.525 Pflegeeinrichtungen aus. Viele Pflegeeinrichtungen führten in der Pandemie kurzfristig unterschiedliche digitale Kommunikationstechnologien ein oder verstärkten deren Einsatz. Zur Anwendung kamen vor allem Produkte, die auch außerhalb der Pflege weit verbreitet sind. Es verbleibt ein hoher Bedarf an Weiterentwicklung von technischer Infrastruktur und den Rahmenbedingungen zum Einsatz digitaler Technologien in der Pflege.
Vom Aufstieg und Fall des Regimes der Akzeleration
Authors: Raddatz Frank
Published: October 2021

In diesem Essay untersucht Frank -M. Raddatz die Veränderung des Zeitregimes im dramatischen Werk Heiner Müllers. Während das Frühwerk das Diktat der Beschleunigung als Beleg für den gesellschaftlichen Fortschritt feiert, dechiffriert das spätere Werk die Industriezeit und ihre permanenet Verkürzung und Verknappung von Zeitabläufen als Instrument der Repression. Die Montage geschichtlicher Epoche lässt die chronologische Zeit als Fiktion erscheinen. Eine Emanzipation im umfassenden Sinne muss mit einer De-Kolonisation von Zeit einhergehen. Ein planetarisches, an den Rhythmen des Erdplaneten ausgerichtetes Zeitregime, fällt mit dem Ende von Ausbeutung und Unterdrückung in eins.
»DIE GLÜCKLOSE LANDUNG«
Authors: Vaßen Florian
Published: October 2021

Florian Vaßen untersucht am Beispiel von Heiner Müllers Triptychon »Verkommenes Ufer Medeamaterial Landschaft mit Argonauten« die Bezüge von Mythos und Gegenwart, die Verbindungen von Kolonialismus und Gender und die Korrespondenzen von Flucht und Theater. In Müllers Text bildet das Mittelmeer einen mythischen Grenz-Raum, in dem sich Meer, Küste und Landschaft kontrastreich verschränken. Während Medea im Kontext des Materialbegriffs und in Auseinandersetzung mit dem Verrat ihre plurale Identität bewahrt, löst sich das männliche Ich am Ende als Subjekt auf. Müllers Text konstituiert mit seiner Fragmentierung der Struktur und seiner Heterogenität der Sprache eine radikale »Störung«.

Published: October 2021

Julian Decius, Janika Dannowsky und Niclas Schaper widmen sich in diesem Beitrag der Fragestellung, inwiefern personale Faktoren wie Persönlichkeit, Selbstwirksamkeit und akademisches Selbstkonzept mit dem Lernen in Zeiten virtueller Lehre in Verbindung stehen. Neben dem formalen Lernen wird der Fokus auch auf das häufig vernachlässigte informelle Lernen im Studium gelegt (d.h. Lernen durch beispielsweise Eigenes Ausprobieren, Feedback und Reflexion). Die Ergebnisse des Strukturgleichungsmodells auf Basis von deutschlandweit erhobenen Online-Befragungsdaten von 823 Studierenden zeigen, dass manche Personenfaktoren (z.B. studienbezogene Selbstwirksamkeit) für beide Lernformen wichtig sind, während andere Personenfaktoren nur mit informellem Lernen (z.B. Extraversion) bzw. mit formalem Lernen (z.B. akademisches Selbstkonzept mit sozialer Bezugsnorm) signifikant zusammenhängen.

Bauer, Sacher, Habig und Fechner widmen sich in diesem Beitrag der Frage, wie konventionelle Laborpraktika durch unterschiedliche eLearning-Formate angereichert werden können. Laborpraktika stellen in naturwissenschaftlichen Fächern einen elementaren Bestandteil des Curriculums dar. Die Studierenden erlernen in diesem Lehr-Lernformat das universitäre Experimentieren. In diesem Beitrag werden zwei Beispiele vorgestellt, wie konventionelle Laborpraktika mit eLearning-Angeboten ergänzt werden können. Auf Basis der Evaluation werden die Potenziale und Grenzen der unterschiedlichen eLearning-Bestandteile vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Entwicklungen digitaler Experimentierumgebungen sowie der Lernwirksamkeit analysiert. Basierend auf den Erkenntnissen werden Empfehlungen zur Weiterentwicklung von Laborpraktika mittels Augmented bzw. Virtual Reality abgeleitet.
Vom Krisenmanagement zur Strategie
Authors: Budde Jannica
Published: October 2021

Die Corona-Krise hat Digitalisierungsmaßnahmen an Hochschulen beschleunigt. Die erzwungene Einführung von »Lehre auf Abstand« folgte dabei jedoch keiner strategischen Linie, sondern aus der Logik der Krise heraus verschuldet eher ungeordnet. Nach der Phase der Krisenerfahrung und einer folgenden Normalisierung im Wintersemester 2020/21 gilt es nun an Hochschulen in Richtung einer Verstetigung, d.h. strategisch-planend, zu denken. Der Beitrag zeichnet anhand zentraler Aspekte des Krisenmanagements die Entwicklungen an Hochschulen im Jahr 2020 nach und entwickelt auf dieser Basis Handlungsempfehlung für die weitere Strategieentwicklung in Bezug auf die Digitalisierung von Studium und Lehre.

Published: October 2021

Wie werden in Reality TV-Formaten ausgehandelte Regeln des emotionalen Ausdrucks und deren Inszenierung auf Facebook bewertet? Welche unterschiedlichen Orientierungen in Bezug auf andere Körper entstehen dabei? Wie werden dadurch Zugehörigkeitsgefühle erzeugt oder Ausschlüsse vorgenommen? Mit dem Konzept der medialen Affektökonomie beschreibt Claudia Töpper, wie Emotionen in digitalen vernetzten Medienumgebungen geordnet werden. Dabei kann sie aufzeigen, dass insbesondere Ambivalenzen, Paradoxien und die Figur des Spielverderbers oder der Spielverderberin einen handlungssteigernden Charakter haben und affektive Medienpraktiken des Publikums evozieren.

Otto Neuraths umfassende Auseinandersetzung mit alten und neuen Meistern der Kunstgeschichte ist nicht einmal Insidern der Piktogrammatik bewusst. Aber auch mit den Säulenheiligen der Zeichnung, Grafik und Karikatur quer durch alle Nationalitäten und Epochen und selbst mit dem Schaffen zeitgenössischer Künstler, Designer und Gebrauchsgrafiker war er vertraut. Mit vielen von ihnen hat Neurath eng zusammengearbeitet - allen voran mit Gerd Arntz, dessen gestalterischer Einfluss auf die Wiener Methode der Bildstatistik und der innere Zwiespalt, der sich daraus ergab, in diesem Beitrag beleuchtet wird.
Emoji als Piktogrammatik
Authors: Wilde Lukas R.A.
Published: October 2021

Lukas R.A. Wilde widmet sich in diesem Beitrag der Frage, ob es sich bei Emoji um die neueste Form des Piktogramms handelt, dem endlich der Ausbruch aus gesellschaftlichen Nischen und Spezialkontexten in jeden Bereich der alltäglichen Verständigung hinein gelungen ist. Er untersucht dafür zunächst die Ebene der Darstellung, insbesondere ihre systematische Wiederholbarkeit durch eine technologische Doppel-kodierung zwischen Unicode und Glyphe. Die nachfolgende Diskussion hingegen fokussiert eher die Seite des Dargestellten, also einer besonderen piktogrammatischen Semantik. Emoji sind in mancherlei Hinsicht grundlegend piktogrammatisch aufgebaut. Auf Ebene der Gestaltung bedienen die meisten Emoji-Glyphen jedoch zugleich ein gegensätzliches Register, der dem rationalen Ethos einer »Begriffsschrift mit Bildern« diametral entgegenläuft.
Infrastructure as digital tools and knowledge practices

Published: October 2021

Scholz, da Costa Oliveira und Dörk widmen sich in ihrem Beitrag Erfahrungen mit digitalen Werkzeugen im Kontext ethnologischer Sammlungen sowie den Herausforderungen, die sich bei der Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher Wissenspraktiken in der Zusammenarbeit mit Heritage Communities stellen. Ausgehend von dem Projekt Sharing Knowledge (2014-2020), das im Ethnologischen Museum (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin/ Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz) stattfand, wird argumentiert, dass die Trägheit von Infrastrukturen und die Erforschung ihrer Funktionsweise - d.h. die Entschlüsselung der Meistererzählungen und Ausschlussmechanismen hinter musealen Wissenspraktiken - entscheidende Schlüssel darstellen zur Entwicklung von Werkzeugen und Taktiken, um eben diese Trägheit zu umgehen und zu untergraben. Während der erste Teil des Papiers dem Beispielprojekt kritische Aufmerksamkeit schenkt, schlägt der zweite Teil neue Methoden vor, um Infrastrukturen zu entwickeln, die Relationalität und Pluralität zulassen.
Geschichten zerstören
Authors: Konitzer Viktor
Published: October 2021

»Der typische Geschichtenzerstörer« sei er, sagt Thomas Bernhard über sich und sein Schreiben, Peter Handkes Erzähler wird vom »Antifabeltier« heimgesucht und Elfriede Jelineks Bekenntnis als Romanautorin lautet: »Ich schlage sozusagen mit der Axt drein«. Aber warum unterziehen österreichische Autor*innen nach 1945 das Erzählen als traditionelle Kulturtechnik einer solch scharfen Kritik? Viktor Konitzer verfolgt die Geschichte politischer Erzählfeindschaft bis zu den Ursprüngen einer genuin österreichischen Literatur zurück. Dabei entdeckt er spannende Formen des Nicht-Erzählens - und zeigt, wo die Geschichtenzerstörer*innen Zuflucht suchen: im reinen Fluss der Sprache, der Prosa.

Die Kunst der Einfachheit
Authors: Wisotzki Nadine
Published: October 2021

»Einfachheit« gehört zu den maßgeblichen Wertzuschreibungen der Kunst-, Kultur- und Literaturgeschichte. Nadine Wisotzki greift das mit der »Sehnsucht nach Einfachheit« einhergehende Funktionalisierungspotential auf, um dem bemerkenswerten Erfolg der Einfachheit in der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur nachzugehen. Am Beispiel des erzählerischen Werks von Judith Hermann, Peter Stamm und Robert Seethaler fragt sie, mit welcher Intention und Qualität sich die Einfachheit hier formiert und ob es sich bei der Kunst der Reduktion um ein spezifisch für die Gegenwart relevantes Konzept handelt. Damit leistet sie einen wesentlichen Beitrag zu der noch ausstehenden literaturwissenschaftlichen Systematisierung einer »Ästhetik der Einfachheit«.
Interaktionswelten

Published: October 2021

Die Interaktionsgestaltung bewegt sich in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen Konventionen und Innovationen. Die Vertrautheit konventioneller Bedienkonzepte steht im scheinbaren Widerspruch zur teils radikalen Neuartigkeit innovativer Ansätze. Aufbauend auf Diskursen und Betrachtungen unterschiedlicher wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen (wie der Techniksoziologie, der Innovationsforschung oder der Kommunikationstheorie) erarbeitet Marcel Münchow ein designwissenschaftliches Theoriegebilde zur Deutung dieser bidirektionalen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Konventionen und Innovationen im Kontext der Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion.
II Die Verknüpfung von praxisund diskurstheoretischen Ansätzen
Authors: Becker Carmen
Published: October 2021

In der Religionswissenschaft werden Praxis- und Diskurstheorien überwiegend als getrennte Forschungsprogramme mit einem jeweils eigenen Leitkonzept gedacht und angewandt. Dieser Beitrag knüpft an Studien und Beiträgen aus der Kultursoziologie an und schlägt eine Verschränkung der praxis- und diskurstheoretischen Perspektive für die empirische, religionswissenschaftliche Forschung vor. Die Möglichkeit einer Verschränkung ergibt sich aus dem gemeinsamen epistemologischen und ontologischen Fundament beider Theoriefamilien. Anhand von zwei ethnografischen Beispielen wird das Potenzial einer solchen Verschränkung kurz dargestellt und diskutiert.
Paradoxa über Politik und Theater
Authors: Schmieden Susanne
Published: October 2021

Paradoxa als »Gegenmeinungen« sind zentrales Gestaltungsmerkmal der Texte von Denis Diderot und Bertolt Brecht. Beide gehören nicht nur zu den bekanntesten Theaterdichtern, sondern sind auch politische Autoren. Dies zeigt sich sowohl in der Wahl ihrer Themen als auch in ihrer Formsprache. Susanne Schmiedens ausführliche Lektüre ausgewählter Texte im Zusammenspiel mit zeitgenössischen theoretischen Diskursen demonstriert, dass Theater, Wissenschaft und Demokratie gleichermaßen Gegenmeinungen als ihre Möglichkeitsbedingung betrachten müssen. Für eine demokratische Gesellschaft gilt, diese nicht nur zuzulassen, sondern zum gemeinsamen Tanz aufzufordern.

Published: October 2021

Giant clam population has been decreased in a few years. Resource management requires information from various aspects, such as ecological, population, and other aspects. This study was aimed at assessing the genetic profile of Tridacna giant clam in Wakatobi National Park waters using Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) genetic marker. Sample collection was conducted around the three main islands, i.e., Wangi-wangi, Kaledupa, and Tomia. Genetic analysis using COI gene may contribute in identifying giant clams up to the species level and showed the relationship among species. The research found 41 specific nucleotide sites for the clams. T. crocea, T. squamosa and T. maxima had 2, 15 and 24 sites, respectively. COI gene as a biological marker was able to separate groups of giant clam by species. Nucleotide variation of T. crocea from Wakatobi was the highest among other locations, so it could be used as a genetic source for translocation and domestication. Keywords: cytochrome oxidase subunit I, specific nucleotide, Tridacna, Wakatobi National Park

Published: October 2021

The excessive consumption of artificial dyes can lead to negative effects on human body. Thus, the invention of natural dyes, such as carotenoids, is needed in order to reduce the negative impacts. Carotenoids are yellow, orange, and reddish yellow pigments produced by plants, animals, algae, and microorganisms. This study was aimed to analyze the carotenoid pigments of mangrove sediment bacteria in Segara Anakan, Cilacap, and to identify species of bacteria that can produce carotenoids. Carotenoids were analysed by using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Meanwhile molecular identification of bacteria was carried by 16S rDNA PCR and DNA sequence was analysed through a program called Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). The kinship of bacteria was shown in Phylogenetic tree by using Bioedit and MEGA 5 software. Qualitative analysis by using TLC produced several pigments like: β-carotene, β-isorenieraten, lycopene, flavonoids, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and a feofitin with Rf value of 0.36-0.95. Quantitative analysis showed that bacteria KH (greenish yellow), KT (dark yellow) and KM (light yellow) produced carotenoids at 95.30 mg.g-1, 110.34 mg.g-1 and 25.349 mg.g-1.

Ostatnie dni Plotyna: pandemia i filozofia
Authors: Stróżyński Mateusz
Published: October 2021

The traditional view of the cause of Plotinus’ death was leprosy. The analysis of the biographical sources, however, point to another hypothesis, that of „Cyprian’s plague”. The last months of Plotinus life and work coincided with the end of this great ancient pandemic and he produced four treatises, focused primarily on ethical problems. The last treatise, On the primal Good (1.7) is a short and concentrated meditation on the First Principle and the soul’s ascent to it.
Reverse-Engineering the Covenant: Moses, Massachusetts Bay and the Construction of a City on a Hill
Authors: Rowley Matthew
Published: October 2021

This article examines the famous “city on a hill” sermon delivered by John Winthrop at the start of colonial Massachusetts Bay. It focuses on belief-formation, looking at how Winthrop reverse-engineered the covenant in two senses. First, he found a blueprint for a godly society in the Pentateuch. Moreover, scholars have missed Winthrop’s reversal of the covenant-formation process. In the Pentateuch, God approached Israel with a covenant offer—setting the terms of the agreement and setting the supernatural verification that the covenant was ratified. However, when Massachusetts Bay entered the covenant, Winthrop reversed the order: he approached God, he set the terms of the covenant and the standard of verification that God ratified the covenant. America’s “founding covenant,” though taken by many as a parallel with biblical Israel, is actually its opposite. In reverse-engineering the covenant based on the Pentateuch, Winthrop also altered the role of God and his people. One of the benefits flowing from covenant obedience, Winthrop argued, would be victory in battle against Native Americans.
Co-Rumination May Mitigate Depressive and Anxious Symptoms for Those High in Social Interaction Anxiety
Authors: Strickland Megan G. , Anastasio Phyllis
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Early co-rumination research has demonstrated that engagement in co-rumination, or persistent discussion of one's problems at length, can lead to increased depressive and anxious symptoms. There is limited research examining the direct relationship between a specialized type of anxiety—social interaction anxiety—and co-rumination, and that research has conflicting results, making it unclear what the relationship between the two is. The purpose of the present study was to further examine the relationship between co-rumination and social interaction anxiety, depressive symptoms, and symptoms of anxiety. Method: Ninety-six college women and men completed online questionnaires twice, separated by one month. Results: We found that co-rumination at Time 1 negatively predicted social interaction anxiety at Time 2. We also found co-rumination predicted reduced depressive symptoms, but only among those who had moderate and high levels of social interaction anxiety. In that respect, our findings replicate van Zalk and Tillfors (2017), who found that co-rumination acts as a buffer against depressive symptoms for individuals high in social anxiety. Our study also offers an extension of van Zalk and Tillfors in that the same pattern was found for anxious symptoms, but only among those with the highest levels of social interaction anxiety. Discussion: Therefore, co-rumination for highly socially-anxious individuals may serve as a form of positive social support, which highlights important individual differences on internalizing symptoms.
Sadder and Less Gullible?—Investigating Depressive Realism Effects in Judgments of Veracity
Authors: Benz Daniel , Reinhard Marc-André
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Depressive realism literature suggests that depressed individuals’ negative self-view is correlated with less self-serving positivity bias. Also, research suggests some social cognitive advantages for individuals with subclinical levels of depression (dysphoria), especially in identifying negative emotions. This study tested the hypothesis that individuals with dysphoric symptoms show less of a truth bias and are more accurate at detecting deception. Moreover, this effect was expected to be stronger in positive statements (I like) than in negative (I dislike) statements. Finally, a lower judgment confidence and a more accurate assessment of their lie detection ability were expected to be found in individuals with dysphoric symptoms. Methods: Two hundred-sixty-nine participants judged the veracity of 24 video statements. Analyses tested the hypotheses with three different measures of depression: the IPIP-240 Depression Subscale, the PHQ-9, and the DESC-I. Results: In contrast to the assumptions, results found no evidence that individuals with dysphoric symptoms were better at identifying false and true messages in general. While higher scores of the DESC-I were negatively correlated with accuracy in lie detection, the IPIP-240 and the PHQ-9 were found to be not significantly correlated with lie detection accuracy. While for like statements individuals with dysphoric symptoms and individuals without (measured with the DESC-I) were not different in accuracy, individuals with dysphoric symptoms had lower accuracy scores in dislike statements than individuals without. Moreover, the PHQ-9 found lower measures of judgment confidence in individuals with dysphoric symptoms compared to individuals without, while the other depression measurements showed no significant differences. Furthermore, no evidence for a more accurate assessment of lie detection ability in individuals with dysphoric symptoms was found. Discussion: Results and directions for future research are discussed.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: Existing data suggest that American adults experience added emotional difficulties amid the coronavirus disease outbreak. Psychotherapy can help mitigate mental health concerns; still, many individuals with unmet mental health needs refrain from professional help-seeking. According to theory of reasoned action, negative help-seeking attitudes are key barriers to engagement with mental health services. Given that individuals with severe distress are more likely to seek therapy than individuals with mild psychopathology symptoms, greater initial and increasing levels of internalizing symptoms amid the coronavirus outbreak likely are linked to increasingly favorable attitudes toward professional help-seeking. Method: In the early months of the coronavirus pandemic, American community adults, N = 831 [49.0% Asian Americans], Mage= 46.78, 50.2% women, were recruited for a panel survey study conducted over the course of three weeks. At each time point, participants completed questionnaires to assess their internalizing symptoms associated with depression and anxiety as well as their openness to and perceived value/need in treatment seeking. Results: Very few participants—especially Asian Americans —were seeking counseling during the study period. Latent growth curve results showed a general decline in internalizing symptoms, and no changes in openness to and perceived need in professional help-seeking. Whereas there were no time-varying correlations between internalizing symptoms and help-seeking attitudes, individuals with greater baseline internalizing symptoms generally were more open to seeking professional help and perceived less value in mental health services. Sensitivity analyses showed patterns in the Asian American subsample similar to those in the overall sample. Discussion: Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.
WOUND INFECTIONS AFTER TOTAL MEDIAN STERNOTOMY – RISK FACTORS, MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS, PROPHYLAXIS AND TREATMENT METHODS
Authors: Stoev H.
Published: October 2021

Introduction. Median sternotomy represents a standard surgical access in cardiac surgery, despite the growing popularity of minimally invasive access. Posternotomy infections are a serious complication and are directly related to patients' survival in the short and long term. Despite prevention, their expression is still significant - from 0.5% to 6.8%, and associated hospital mortality rates range from 7% to 35%.
Aims. Analysis of frequency, risk factors, microbiological agents, prevention options and surgical techniques for deep wound infections after open heart surgery for a 17 - year period.
Materials and methods. For the period from October 2002 to June 2019, 146 (1.42% of 10,307 operated) patients were treated at the Cardiac Surgery Clinic at the University Hospital “St. Georgi "diagnosed with deep sternal infection. The study is a retrospective using data from medical records and hospital records. The Center of Disease Control (CDC) criteria were used to define deep sternal infections.
Results. The sex ratio is 2.04: 1 – men: women. The average age for both sexes is 65.4 years. The average stay of patients in the intensive care unit was 5 days (from 0 to 46 days), and the average total hospital stay was 15.6 days (from 5 to 55 days). Early postoperative mortality was 13,7%. The most common risk factors were diabetes mellitus, obesity and emergency surgery.
Conclusion. Cardiac surgery with total midline sternotomy is associated with a risk of developing mediastinitis. Despite the advances in cardiac surgery and the use of mini-invasive techniques, the rate of development of deep wound infections remains relatively high.
COVID-19 AND BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Authors: Dimov D. , Atanasov T.
Published: October 2021

Severe coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) presents with progressive dyspnea, resulting from acute lung inflammatory edema leading to hypoxia. Asthma has been cited as a potential risk factor for severe COVID-19 like other diseases that affect the respiratory tract. However, so far conflicting results have been published over the last few months and there is still no prove that there is a putative association between these two diseases. In the current mini-review we attempt to summarize the available information from the scientific literature concerning the relation of Bronchial asthma and the severity and clinical course of COVID-19 disease.
