The world’s changing climate is placing great pressure on the resources for sustainable viticulture. With this, it has become necessary to investigate grape varieties that are well adapted to hot climates. The aims of this study were to (1) assess the response of Xynisteri to different irrigation regimes, and (2) compare the performance of Xynisteri, Maratheftiko, Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc grown in pots with different irrigation regimes. Trial one was established in a commercial Xynisteri vineyard in Cyprus under three different irrigation regimes - full, 50% and no irrigation in 2019. Trial two compared three irrigation regimes - full, 50% and 25% in a potted trial of Xynisteri and Sauvignon Blanc conducted in Cyprus in 2019. Trial three was a potted trial of Xynisteri, Sauvignon Blanc, Maratheftiko and Shiraz with the same three irrigation regimes conducted in Australia in 2020/21. Vine performance and physiology measurements were taken in both trials. Fruit composition analysis, yield (field trial only), shoot, trunk and root mass measurements were performed at the end of the season. Few differences between measures were found between irrigation regimes in the field trial. Fruit composition analysis revealed fructose to be lowest in the full irrigation group compared to deficit and no irrigation treatments. The potted trial in 2019 demonstrated that for all three irrigation regimes, Xynisteri had higher stem water potential, stomatal conductance and chlorophyll content than Sauvignon Blanc. Xynisteri produced greater end of season root, shoot and leaf mass than Sauvignon Blanc under all irrigation regimes. In 2020/21, Xynisteri had greater end of season root, shoot and leaf mass than Maratheftiko and Sauvignon Blanc with Shiraz the lowest. Few significant differences in stem water potential were observed in the early stages of the trial. However, toward the end of the trial and with reduced irrigation, Xynisteri and Maratheftiko had higher stem water potential than Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc. Xynisteri had higher stomatal conductance and chlorophyll content than Maratheftiko and both were higher than Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz. These results indicate that Xynisteri in particular may possess better cultivar specific growth traits than Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc when grown under the same environmental conditions and in turn may be a more appropriate choice in areas where water is limited.

Published: January 2022

Wireless power transfer via magnetic resonant coupling can be used to supply power to a mobile robot within a few meters of a transmitter coil. However, when the robot moves or its power consumption fluctuates, its input impedance varies and causes power reflection. Therefore, we propose the use of a driver coil on the transmitter side to match the input impedance. The input impedance is matched and power reflection is eliminated by regulating the coupling coefficient between the driver and the transmitter. During experiments, the transmitting efficiency showed good agreement with the calculated value, and the input impedance was matched under varying distances and load resistances. Therefore, the proposed system was demonstrated to solve the power reflection problem in mobile robots.
Melatonin Induces Cell Cycle Arrest, Inhibits Cell Proliferation and Accelerates Apoptosis by Modulation of CDK4 in NSCLC
Authors: Zhou Mengxi , Wang Yueguo , Shen Jilong , Fei Guanghe
Published: January 2022

Purpose
To explore whether melatonin affect the progression of cell cycle and exert anticancer activities via the modulation of CDK4 in NSCLC .
Methods
Cells treated with melatonin were used for assessing the anticancer effect of melatonin. Cells transfected with lentivirus for CDK4 upregulation or downregulation was constructed to evaluate the role of CDK4 in melatonin-induced anticancer effect. The protein and mRNA level of CDK4, PCNA and Bax were detected by western blotting and qRT-PCR. The application of flow cytometry was used for analyzing the distribution of cell cycle and apoptosis. Animal model of subcutaneous tumor was constructed and used for further study in vivo.
Results
We found that melatonin inhibited cell viability, colony formation, downregulated the expression of CDK4 and PCNA while upregulated the level of Bax. Besides, melatonin decreased the phosphorylation of ERK. Importantly, inhibition of ERK activation by PD98059 particapated in melatonin-induced downregulation of CDK4. Furthermore, melatonin led to G1 arrest and cell apoptosis. CDK4 knockdown enhanced melatonin-induced cell cycle arrest while CDK4 overexpression reversed the effect. Additionally, the animal experiment showed that melatonin decreased the level of CDK4 and inhibited tumor growth. However, the anti-tumor effect of melatonin was reversed by CDK4 overexpression.
Conclusion
Taken together, CDK4 involved in anti-cancer activities of melatonin. Melatonin led to G1 arrest, blocked G1-to-S transition, as a result, inhibited cell proliferation and accelerates apoptosis via suppressing CDK4 signaling. Targeting CDK4 inhibition and combining it with melatonin has protential to be a novel strategy for NSCLC.

Authors: Figueira Inês , Teixeira Inês , Rodrigues António Teixeira , Gama Ana , Dias Sónia
Published: January 2022

Background

Point-of-care tests can contribute to earlier diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases with the potential to prevent chronic stages. As part of the Fast-Track Cities initiative, a pilot was initiated in community pharmacies in Portugal.
Aim

To characterize the individuals using point-of-care screening tests for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C and hepatitis B virus infections in community pharmacies, their behaviours and motivations to perform the tests, as well as understand the facilitators and barriers from the perspectives of pharmacists.
Method

A mixed-methods study was conducted. A survey was applied to test users in pharmacies between May and December 2019, and three focus groups were conducted with pharmacists involved in the initiative. Qualitative data were analysed according to thematic content analysis.
Results

A total of 210 questionnaires were collected. Point-of-care tests users were predominantly male, mean age of 35 years, the majority were foreign-born and had higher education level. Almost half of the users were first time tested and the main reason for screening was unprotected intercourse. Pharmacists identified speed, confidentiality, counselling provided to users, pharmacists’ initial training to perform the tests and trust in the pharmacist as facilitators of these tests. Stigma associated with infections, the procedure, logistical conditions and the referral process were considered as barriers.
Conclusion

Pharmacies are an effective screening site, with particular relevance for individuals who are first tested, heterosexuals and some migrants. Nevertheless, it is necessary to understand and reduce barriers and increase the support of specific groups.

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change in the world. In general, Charland (Riverine Island) communities are frequently affected by floods, riverbank erosion, and other climatic hazards, which cause many to lose their sources of livelihoods and properties and making them more vulnerable. Using survey data of 262 rural households, this study investigates the extent of livelihood vulnerability to climate change and natural hazards of the Charland communities by applying the climate change vulnerability index (CVI) (i.e. UN-IPCC vulnerability framework) and the livelihood vulnerability index (LVI) to develop context-specific interventions for building climate and livelihood resilience. The two approaches of vulnerability assessment were modified to incorporate local contexts and indigenous knowledge into 41 sub-components. The result shows that LVI and CVI values are different between Charland communities. The LVI index shows that households in Char Jotindro-Narayan (0.148) are more vulnerable than Char Kulaghat (0.139). The CVI values for Char Jotindro-Narayan (0.633) are slightly lower than for Char Kulaghat (0.639). The major vulnerability factors were identified as the social networks, food self-sufficiency, natural disasters, and climatic variability. The study also indicates that flood, riverbank erosion, unemployment, and access to communication, market, and basic service opportunities are the major biophysical and socioeconomic factors determining livelihood vulnerability. The context-specific sustainable policies and development initiatives are required to improve the adaptive capacity of Charland communities across Bangladesh and thereby building their climate and livelihood resilience.

Published: January 2022

In this paper, a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) is modeled to obtain the best location of retailers and allocate them to other utilities. The structure of CLSC includes production centers, retailers’ centers, probabilistic customers, collection, and disposal centers. In this research, two strategies are considered to find the best location for retailers by focusing on 1- the type of expected movement 2- expected coverage (distance and time) for minimizing the costs and maximizing the profit by considering the probabilistic customer and uncertainly demand. First of all, the expected distances between customers and retailers are calculated per movement method. These values are compared with the Maximum expected coverage distance of retailers, which is displayed in algorithm 1 heuristically, and the minimum value is picked. Also, to allocate customers to retailers, considering the customer's movement methods and comparing it with Maximum expected coverage time, which is presented in Algorithm 2 heuristically, the minimum value is chosen to this end, a bi-objective nonlinear programming model is proposed. This model concurrently compares Strategies 1 and 2 to select the best competitor. Based on the chosen strategy, the best allocation is determined by employing two heuristic algorithms, and the locations of the best retailers are determined. As the proposed model is NP-hard, a meta-heuristics (non-dominated sorting genetic) algorithm is employed for the solution process. Afterward, the effectiveness of the proposed model is validated and confirmed, and the obtained results are analyzed. For this purpose, a numerical example is given and solved through the optimization software.

Published: January 2022

Since the initial detection of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) in November 2021 in South Africa, it has caused a rapid increase in infections globally. The Omicron variant encodes 37 amino acid substitutions in its spike protein, and early reports have provided evidence for extensive immune escape and reduced vaccine effectiveness. We assessed serum neutralizing activity in sera from Delta infection following vaccination of CoronaVac or ZF2001 and Delta infection only against SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1 (WA1), Beta, Delta, and Omicron. We found that sera from Delta infection only could neutralize WA1 and Delta pseudoviruses but nearly completely lost capacity to neutralize Beta and Omicron pseudoviruses. However, Delta infection following vaccination resulted in a significant increase of serum neutralizing activity against WA1, Beta, and Omicron. This study demonstrates that breakthrough infection of Delta in previously vaccinated individuals substantially induced high potency humoral immune response against the Omicron variant and other emerged variants.

Published: January 2022

Background: CSCs play an important role in tumor development. Some studies have demonstrated that piRNAs participate in the progression of various cancers. However, the detailed function of piRNAs in CSCs requires further investigation. This study aimed to investigate the significance of some piRNAs in Piwil2-iCSCs. Methods and Results: Differentially expressed piRNAs in Piwil2-iCSCs were screened by high-throughput sequencing. Target genes were predicted by the miRanda algorithm and subjected to GO and KEGG analysis. One of the differential piRNAs, novel piRNA MW557525, was transfected and its target gene NOP56 was silenced in Piwil2-iCSCs, respectively. RT-qPCR, western blot and dual luciferase reporter assay were used to investigate the interaction of piRNA MW557525 and NOP56. We identified the effect of piRNA MW557525 and NOP56 knockdown on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis via CCK-8, transwell assay, and flow cytometry. The expressions of CD24, CD133, KLF4, and SOX2 were detected via WB. The results showed that piRNA MW557525 was negatively correlated with NOP56, and it promoted the proliferation, migration, invasion, and inhibited apoptosis in Piwil2-iCSCs, and it also promoted the expressions of CD24, CD133, KLF4, and SOX2, while NOP56 showed the opposite effect. Conclusions: These findings suggested that novel piRNA MW557525 might be a novel therapeutic target in Piwil2-iCSCs.

Published: January 2022

Background: Rheumatic heart disease affects 33 million people in low and middle income countries and is the leading cause of cardiovascular death among children and young adults. Penicillin prophylaxis has been shown to improve valvular function among patients with clinically silent or mild disease. Efforts to expand echocardiographic screening are focusing on simplified protocols, non-physician ultrasonographers, and portable ultrasound devices, including handheld ultrasound. Recent advances support the use of single-view screening protocols. With the increasing availability and low cost of handheld devices, prospective studies are needed to evaluate their performance in these settings. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional pilot study among 19 at-risk school-children participating in a rheumatic heart disease screening program in Ethiopia comparing a handheld ultrasound device (Phillips Lumify) to a fully-equipped portable ultrasound machine (Sonosite M-Turbo). Results: Agreement between devices was similar for expert and non-expert review (84%). However, when reviewed by a non-expert the Lumify identified fewer screen-positive cases (p-value 0.083). We also compared non-expert to expert interpretation by device and found a significant difference in interpretation for the Lumify (p-value 0.025). There was a trend towards shorter jet length by color Doppler in the handheld ultrasound device for both expert and non-expert review. Conclusions: Our study highlights that screening echocardiograms for RHD may yield different results when a handheld ultrasound device is used.

Authors: Mengesha Damitie Kebede , Haile Demewez Moges
Published: January 2022

Background: Undernutrition is one of the major public health concerns among infants and young children in the country. Childhood under-nutrition is widespread in low and middle-income countries. This study was initiated to assess the prevalence of under-nutrition and its associated factors among under-five children in Afar Region, Ethiopia. Methods: The data for this study were extracted from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) 2016. The information collected from 937 children born 5 years before the survey was considered in the analysis. A multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used at a 5% level of significance to determine the individual- and community-level factors associated with childhood malnutrition.Results: The prevalence of stunting, underweight and wasting in Afar region were 41.1%, 36.2% and 17.7%, respectively. About 26.7% of children in Afar region were both stunting and underweight, 12.7% were both underweight and wasting, 7.6% were both stunting and wasting and only 7.0% of children had all the three under-nutrition conditions. Among the factors considered in this study, age of a child in months, anemia level, mothers’ BMI, household wealth index, size of child at birth, number of living children and place of residence were significantly associated with stunting, underweight and wasting in Afar Region. Conclusions: The prevalence of all stunting, underweight and wasting was relatively high. Undernutrition is one of the major public health concerns among children in Afar Region. The effect of these factors should be considered to develop strategies to reduce under-nutrition in the study area. Thus, intervention should be focused on improving the under-nutrition determinants of the children to improve the child's nutritional status and reduce child morbidity and mortality.

Authors: Yang Enbin , Zhang Hao , Guo Xinsheng , Zang Zinan , Liu Zhen , Liu Yuanning
Published: January 2022

Background: In addition to COVID-19, tuberculosis (TB) is the respiratory infectious disease with the highest incidence in China. We aim to design a series of forecasting models and find the factors that affect the incidence of TB, thereby improving the accuracy of the incidence prediction. Results: In this paper, we developed a new interpretable prediction system based on the multivariate multi-step Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model and SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) method. Moreover, four accuracy measures are introduced into the system: Root Mean Square Error, Mean Absolute Error, Mean Absolute Percentage Error, and symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error. Meanwhile, the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model and seasonal ARIMA model are established. The multi-step ARIMA-LSTM model is proposed for the first time to examine the performance of each model in the short, medium, and long term, respectively. Compared with the ARIMA model, each error of the multivariate 2-step LSTM model is reduced by 12.92%, 15.94%, 15.97%, and 14.81% in the short term. The 3-step ARIMA-LSTM model achieved excellent performance, with each error decreased to 15.19%, 33.14%, 36.79%, and 29.76% in the medium and long term. We provide the local and global explanation of the multivariate single-step LSTM model in the field of incidence prediction, pioneering. Conclusions: The multivariate 2-step LSTM model is suitable for short-term forecasts, and the 3-step ARIMA-LSTM model is appropriate for medium and long-term forecasts. In addition, the prediction effect was better than similar TB incidence forecasting models. The SHAP results indicate that the five most crucial features are maximum temperature, average relative humidity, local financial budget, monthly sunshine percentage, and sunshine hours.

Orman yangınları önemli bir çevre sorunu olmakla beraber tüm ekosistem ve içerisindeki insan ve hayvan yaşamını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Türkiye’de son 20 yılda yaşanan 46.669 orman yangınında toplamda 192.734 hektar orman alanı zarar görmüştür. Bu yangınların ortaya çıkış nedenlerinde ise ilk sırada ihmal-kaza bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle meydana gelen orman yangınlarının sıklığını en aza indirmek ve zararları önlemek için yangın riski olan alanların belirlenerek, yangın öncesinde, sırasında ve sonrasında alınacak önlemler için hazırlıklı olunması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Muğla ili Milas ilçesi için orman yangını riskini modellemede Lojistik Regresyon (LR) ve Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS) kullanılmıştır. Topoğrafik özellikler, meşcere verileri ve kültürel veriler dikkate alınarak, bu faktörlerin yangınların oluşumu ile ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. LR ile yangın risk tahmininin doğruluk analizleri ve farklı özelliklerdeki alanların yangın riskleri Alıcı Çalışma Karakteristiği (ROC) ve Hosmer-Lemeshow testi ile incelenmiştir. Lojistik Regresyon yöntemi ile elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda CBS ortamında bir orman yangını risk haritası oluşturulmuştur. Burada orman yangını riski “1” çok düşük riskli ve “5” çok yüksek riskli olmak üzere beş seviyede değerlendirilmiştir. Ortaya çıkan orman yangını risk haritasında, çalışma alanında bulunan toplam orman alanlarının %16’sının yüksek ve çok yüksek risk sınıfında bulunduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

POŻYCZKA MORSKA CALLIMACHUSA ‒ UWAGI NA MARGINESIE TEKSTU SCAEVOLI D. 45,1,122,1
Authors: Benincasa Zuzanna
Published: January 2022

Przedmiotem analizy w niniejszym artykule jest tekst pochodzący z digesta Scaevoli traktujący o pożyczce udzielonej Callimachusowi na zakup towarów transportowanych drogą morską w kontekście rekonstrukcji stanu faktycznego będącego przedmiotem rozważań jurysty. Szczególne zainteresowanie romanistów wzbudzało m.in. ustalenie, dlaczego Callimachus pozostał zobowiązany do zwrotu pożyczki morskiej pomimo, iż statek, na którym transportował towary zakupione ze środków pochodzących z tej pożyczki zatonął. Zdaniem autorki jednak ustalenie tej okoliczności nie ma żadnego znaczenia dla analizowanego przez jurystę zagadnienia. Jej zdaniem bowiem meritum rozważań Scaevoli stanowi druga część tekstu koncentrująca się na możliwości modyfikacji pierwotnych ustaleń między pożyczkodawcą a pożyczkobiorcą w pożyczce morskiej, przez agenta wierzyciela podróżującego z pożyczkobiorcą i nadzorującego prawidłową realizację postanowień kontraktu przez tego ostatniego. W tej części zaś jurysta z góry zakłada, że bohater kazusu, Callimachus, popadł w zwłokę ze zwrotem pożyczki, a więc nie wywiązał się ze zobowiązań wynikających ze złożonej agentowi pożyczkodawcy stypulacji.
KONSTYTUCYJNE GWARANCJE OCHRONY JĘZYKA PAŃSTWOWEGO A PRAWA MNIEJSZOŚCI W ESTONII
Authors: Szwed Katarzyna
Published: January 2022

W niniejszym opracowaniu dokonano analizy estońskich przepisów konstytucyjnych i ustawowych odnoszących się do statusu języka państwowego i mniejszości narodowych. Począwszy od lat 90. XX w. odbudowę estońskiej państwowości silnie powiązano z ochroną języka tytularnego. W okresie dominacji radzieckiej w administracji państwowej i wśród urzędników, jak również w kluczowych sektorach gospodarki przeważał język rosyjski. Istotnie zmieniła się także struktura społeczna – znaczący odsetek mieszkańców stanowiła ludność rosyjskojęzyczna. Władze niepodległej Estonii uznały za priorytet wprowadzenie odpowiednich regulacji prawnych sytuujących język państwowy jako podstawowy język komunikacji. Konieczne stało się równocześnie zabezpieczenie praw mniejszości narodowych, o przestrzeganie których upominała się społeczność międzynarodowa. Opracowanie stanowi próbę oceny, w jakim stopniu w przypadku Estonii udało się zrównoważyć wartości konstytucyjne – ochronę języka państwowego i zasadę niedyskryminacji.

Przedmiotem rozważań jest uchwała Sądu Najwyższego z 22 maja 2018 r., III CZP 102/17, w której stwierdzono, że „złożenie przez rodziców w imieniu małoletniego dziecka oświadczenia o odrzuceniu spadku jest czynnością przekraczającą zakres zwykłego zarządu majątkiem dziecka”. Autorka poddaje analizie odrzucenie spadku w imieniu dziecka jako czynność zarządu jego majątkiem, wskazując na kryteria podziału na czynności zwykłego zarządu i przekraczające ten zarząd. Zauważa, że wskazywane w tym kontekście w doktrynie i orzecznictwie czynniki nie pozwalają na zaliczenie odrzucenia zadłużonego spadku do czynności przekraczających ten zarząd. Wskazuje ponadto na skutki złożenia oświadczenia o odrzuceniu spadku w imieniu dziecka bez zezwolenia sądu opiekuńczego, poddając krytycznej analizie funkcje sankcji bezwzględnej nieważności dla ochrony dobra dziecka w tych przypadkach. Istotnym zagadnieniem są rozważania poświęcone zadaniom i roli notariusza przy dokumentowaniu oświadczenia o odrzuceniu spadku w imieniu dziecka.

Niniejszy artykuł został w całości poświęcony problematyce związanej ze statusem policjanta pełniącego służbę na stanowisku radcy prawnego. Co do zasady funkcjonariusze Policji nie są uprawnieni do wykonywania tego zawodu, chyba że pełnią służbę na stanowisku służbowym radcy prawnego. Status policjanta radcy prawnego regulowany jest zarówno ustawą o radcach prawnych, jak i ustawą o Policji. Normy zawarte w obu aktach prawnych wzajemnie się uzupełniają. Skoncentrowano zatem uwagę na omówieniu kwestii odnoszących się do praw i obowiązków szczególnej grupy policjantów pełniących służbę na stanowisku służbowym radcy prawnego. Wykazano, że pełnienie przez policjanta służby na tym stanowisku nie modyfikuje kształtu stosunku służbowego ani też nie zwalnia go z obowiązków ustanowionych w pragmatyce służbowej dla wszystkich funkcjonariuszy.

Primary Hyperparathyroidism in the Common Orthopaedic Practice
Authors: Sferopoulos Nikolaos K.
Published: January 2022

An extensive review of the publications on primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is presented in this report. It has strongly been emphasized in the literature that patients with pHPT may present either with the classical symptomatology or with asymptomatic disease, emerged due to biochemical screening. The clinical and epidemiological presentation of pHPT in western countries has changed profoundly during the past few decades, and bone disease is nowadays a distinct rarity. The introduction of serum calcium screening for osteoporosis and the technological advances in the laboratory assessment of parathyroid hormone have played important roles in early diagnosis. Subsequently, the disease is increasingly being detected as asymptomatic hypercalcaemia without guiding signs or symptoms. A third type of disease, the normocalcaemic variant, has been recently described in the literature. However, the potential diagnosis of pHPT should always be on the orthopaedics’ list of differential diagnoses in female or elderly patients with vertebral fractures and nephrolithiasis, either symptomatic or asymptomatic, as well as when solitary or multiple osteolytic lesions are encountered on the radiographs.

Additionally, a middle aged woman with parathyroid adenoma and subsequent brown tumors detected on the pelvic radiographs is reported. Her initial laboratory findings indicated a minimal increase of the serum calcium, a mild increase of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and a significant increase in total serum alkaline phosphatase. Finally, the detection of elevated parathyroid hormone levels indicated the diagnosis of pHPT and necessitated imaging studies of the parathyroid glands, which indicated a parathyroid adenoma. Following successful excision of the parathyroid adenoma, the patient suffered from the hungry bone syndrome. After a follow-up of 20 years, the patient had normal calcium, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone serum levels, while a pelvic radiograph indicated no significant changes in the appearance of the brown tumors.

However, the theoretical material is necessary for anyone who needs to understand the principles of regulating these sounds in spoken English. Most of the readers (EFL students) are aware of the importance of linguistics topics, but they do not have sufficient basic knowledge to understand these topics, especially Phonetics and Phonology. It is an endeavour to show the general categorization existing in consonants on the phonological aspects. Most of the time, there are three labels that are given a little awareness in instructors’ lectures to EFL students as if they existed worthless. Thus, while explaining the English consonant sounds, it is recommended that the EFL instructors should pay equal awareness to these labels with different class activities. The quantity of data displayed in some figures with (151) examples as part of direct education. These data were procured from Google Scholars, Google Books and other websites.
Salamon Dembitzer – um refugiado no Porto
Authors: Teixeira Maria Antónia Gaspar
Published: January 2022

The main goal of this article is to disseminate a work which has almost been forgotten: Visum nach Amerika, by Salamon Dembitzer. A self-fictional narrative guided by a very critical, ironically disillusionistic perspective, interweaving the protagonist's experiences with various reflexive comments, it dismantles – sometimes sarcastically – everything and everyone: the consulates, the Portuguese, the refugees. Nevertheless, going beyond the mere «account of facts» - a definition used by the author himself –, Visum nach Amerika is also a work about the task of literature and the writers.
Apesar do silêncio: heranças da experiência da Shoá de Chaim Pomerancblum
Authors: Heineberg Ilana
Published: January 2022

This personal essay has a dual purpose of relating the transgenerational transmission of the Holocaust survivor Chaim Pomerancblum’s life story, and of reflecting, at the same time, on this non-canonical practice in the academic world regarding the use of first person narrative. First, I will discuss and explain this self-reflective approach by drawing on post-memorial literary and theoretical works. Next, I will narrate, in a fragmentary and metatextual way, the life story of Chaim, my maternal grandfather.
Representações do passado traumático em obras de Roberto Drummond e Bernardo Kucinski
Authors: Assunção Sandra
Published: January 2022

The Brazilian civil-military dictatorship was revisited by many contemporary novelists, being the literature of that period considered as a form of "dictatorship file" (Figueiredo 2017). The writers Roberto Drummond, in Hitler manda lembranças (1984), and Bernardo Kucinski, in K.Relato de uma busca (2011), put on stage characters who, inserted in the dictatorial period, are tormented by memories of The Second World War. As in an untraceable puzzle, the memory of the Jews persecution during Nazism re-emerges by establishing connections with the military regime in Brazil. Self-fiction or pastiche-like, the two novels propose particular analogies between non-competitive memories and possible traumatic intersections (Rothberg 2018). The narratives’ testimonial character also allows to establish relations between an exogenous past (the immigrant’s) and the national memory. The traumatic past fictionalization seems to contribute to the building of relations between different historical moments and the transference of an intergenerational and affiliative memory (Hirsch 2012)
Entre-mundos: a travessia dos refugiados do nazifascismo. Brasil, 1933-1945
Authors: Carneiro Maria Luiza Tucci
Published: January 2022

This article aims to sensitize our reader to the issue of forced migrations by Nazi violence that, from 1933 onwards, had consequences beyond Europe, including several countries in Latin America. Persecuted, frightened and humiliated by the national socialist state and collaborationist countries, the Jew had nowhere to go, as not all nations expressed the desire to adopt him as a citizen, as a human being bearing his own name and roots. Among those who chose Brazil as a refuge, temporary or permanent, we identified hundreds of artists, writers and scientists who turned their works into libels against intolerance. Through the artistic and literary production of this group, we intend to assess their perceptions of Europe destroyed by Nazi barbarism, interpret their traumas, their visions of “abysses” in the context of chaos and the meaning of life in the face of possible death
« La vie est ailleurs. » Sur les mythes littéraires de l’Europe centrale
Authors: Radvánszky Anikó
Published: January 2022

The experience of “transfrontality”, in the concrete and figurative sense of the word, is always strongly dominant in a region where ethnic and national borders have always been separated, in an area where, throughout its history, but especially in the 20th century, in re- and re-emerging units, individual, community, or national identities had to be conceived according to new and new points of reference. The meaning of the concept of Central Europe is very variable, its use is diverse; there are several interpretations of the region based on geographical, political and cultural aspects. It is an indisputable fact that Central Europe today is a literary concept rather than an economic, political and spiritual reality, a concept that is kept alive by writers such as Milosz from Poland, Kundera from the Czech Republic, Miklós Mészöly from Hungary. In my study I compare two literary works, Danubio (Danube) by Claudio Magris and Hahn-Hahn grófnö pillantása (The Glance of Countess Hahn-Hahn) by Péter Esterházy that create and approach the imaginary construction called Central Europe in their own way. Both travel novels capture the trip on the Danube and the experience of transfrontality
Plaisirs de lire et de regarder : de la littérature à la peinture. La théorie de la relation esthétique à l’épreuve du cas Dubuffet
Authors: Trouvé Alain
Published: January 2022

Reading activity, which is a constituent part of the literary relationship, is only partially applicable to a painting that offers the eye a confusing pole that cannot be deciphered by the signs of language. Dubuffet’s Logological Cabinet invites visitors to experience this impossible dream : a new logos capable of deciphering the inexpressible. The Paladin and the Paladine depicted on the entrance doors break the continuity of the fresco covering the walls of the room and remind us that literature and art are appreciated in an aesthetic relationship based on otherness and a space socialized by language.
L’oeuvre de Maurice Carême. Une poésie à lire et à voir
Authors: Tóth Ágnes
Published: January 2022

Maurice Carême (1899–1978) was a Belgian francophone poet. We present revisiting the appreciation that is sometimes assigned to a « poet of images » to deepen that « above all visual » of a poet who writes « with the gifts of observation » (Moremans 1930 : 19), and gives, in his poetic intuition, a content to see. The visual, in symbiosis with the tangible, manifests itself in the work of Maurice Carême through the fascination with the gestures of graphic, pictorial and even sculptural production. The passion for the imprints left by these gestures is expressed by the presence of a pictorial isotopy, by the frequent recurrence of words such as trace, draw, paint, sketch, model and other terms belonging to the same semantic field, as well as by the use of the presentative « there ». In this synthetic designation, the poet sums up, in a simulation of gestures und unique denomination, the landscape and its outlines. Explicitly referring to pictorial techniques is one of the most visible processes these expressions are part of a network of visual patterns that relate both to the gestures of writing and painting. This leads to anchoring in the reader the impression of visual poetry
Dyskusje o podziale na województwa w Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej
Authors: Leszczyńska Cecylia
Published: January 2022

Celem artykułu jest odtworzenie debaty dotyczącej podziału na województwa w Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej, który został wprowadzony w latach 1919–1922. Kształt województw stał się przedmiotem licznych dyskusji, jej uczestnicy zazwyczaj oceniali go krytycznie podkreślając jego nieadekwatność do potrzeb administracji państwowej i wyzwań gospodarczych. Najwięcej projektów przedstawiono w latach 20. XX w. w związku z działalnością trzech komisji rządowo-parlamentarnych pracujących nad koncepcją podziału terytorialnego. Proponowane zmiany miały na celu zatarcie granic byłych zaborów oraz uwzględnienie w nowym podziale na województwa kryteriów demograficznych, ekonomicznych i komunikacyjnych. Projekty te zostały zrealizowane częściowo dopiero w latach 1937–1939, kiedy dokonano przesunięć przede wszystkim granic województw centralnych i zachodnich.
Dziedzictwo wielokulturowości jako podstawa zrównoważonego rozwoju turystyki miejskiej w Warszawie – czas pandemii COVID-19
Authors: Ostrowska-Tryzno Anna , Pawlikowska-Piechotka Anna
Published: January 2022

Wprowadzenie: znaczenie wielokulturowości dla rozwoju turystyki, podkreślane konsekwentnie w literaturze przedmiotu, świadczy o popularności tej formy turystyki. Polska historycznie była krajem przejściowym między Wschodem a Zachodem, krajem, w którym obok siebie istniały różne kultury: polska, niemiecka, żydowska i rosyjska. Polska przez wieki była miejscem spotkań różnych religii i kultur, a dzisiejszy krajobraz wciąż na to wskazuje. Katastrofa II wojny światowej przyniosła unicestwienie społeczeństwa wielokulturowego i stworzyła niespotykaną dotąd w naszej historii jednorodność. Dziedzictwo żydowskie i miejska turystyka kulturowa: w swojej prawie 2000-letniej diasporze Żydzi byli obecni w Polsce od ośmiuset lat: od wczesnego średniowiecza do Holokaustu, do Zagłady w okresie II wojny światowej. Od innych grup społecznych Żydów wyróżniała religia, język, zwyczaje, sztuka i architektura. W okresie międzywojennym XX w. Polska była domem największej społeczności żydowskiej w Europie, wyróżniającej się ogromną żywotnością kulturową i intelektualną. Zachowane ślady, materialne i niematerialne wielokulturowości w Warszawie stały się podstawą rozwoju turystyki kulturowej. Czas pandemii a turystyka miejska: wybuch pandemii COVID-19 silnie uderzył w sektor turystyczny: obowiązują ograniczenia w podróżowaniu i zwiedzaniu obiektów. Dlatego konieczna jest weryfikacja prognoz i przygotowanie nowych rekomendacji dla kierunków turystyki kulturowej w czasie pandemii i w okresie po jej zakończeniu. Podsumowanie i wnioski: zainteresowanie dziedzictwem żydowskim jest silne od kilku dekad i wielu turystów, zarówno krajowych, jak i zagranicznych chce zgłębiać kulturę żydowską i zabytki przeszłości. Pomimo ograniczeń sanitarnych nawet w czasie pandemii jest to możliwe, jednak potrzebne jest wypracowanie racjonalnych procedur, aby zarówno zapewnić reżim sanitarny, jak i odbudować zaufanie konsumentów.

lithium-ion battery (LIB) is at the forefront of energy research. Over four decades of research and development have led electric mobility to a reality. Numerous materials capable of storing lithium reversibly, either as an anode or as a cathode, are reported on a daily basis. But very few among them, such as LiCoO2, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (Li-NMC) variants (LiNi0.33Mn0.33Co0.33O2, LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2, LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2, and LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2), LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2, LiFePO4, graphite, and Li4Ti5O12 are successful at commercial scale. Future energy requirements demand a push in the energy density of LIBs to meet the criteria of electric aviation, power trains, stationary grids, etc. All these applications have different needs which cannot be satisfied by a particular set of materials. Therefore, various materials need to be utilized in widespread fields of battery applications in the near future. This review discusses potential cathode materials that show a capacity of ≥ 250 mAh g-1 (Li-rich oxides, conversion materials, etc.) or average voltage of ≥ 4 V vs. Li+/Li (polyanionic materials, spinel oxides, etc.). Failure mechanisms, challenges, and way-outs to overcome all the issues are put forward to determine commercial viability.
