Kulturtourismus im ländlichen Raum
Authors: Hausmann Andrea
Published: February 2020

Kulturtourismus gilt seit Jahren als Megatrend in Europa, dem auch für die Zukunft weiteres Wachstum prognostiziert wird - auch und insbesondere im ländlichen Raum. Was aber umfasst Kulturtourismus konkret, wer sind die relevanten Akteure im ländlichen Raum und wie kann das Instrument der »Customer Journey« gewinnbringend eingesetzt werden? Diese Fragen werden im Einführungsbeitrag der Herausgeberin angerissen, und es wird damit das begriffliche Fundament für die weitere Auseinandersetzung gelegt.
»Ich trag' die Kette von Gabbana«, Missing Link, »REWE-Markt-Tüte, Trainingsanzüge«
Authors: Lehnert Nils
Published: February 2020

Nils Lehnert zeigt, wie Karate Andi im Aushandlungsraum inszenierter Lebensstilentwürfe zwischen Prekariat und Elite das Split-Video »Gott sieht alles / Eisen« (2016) dazu nutzt, Positionen, welche sich scheinbar ausschließen (»REWE-Markt-Tüte, Trainingsanzüge« vs. »Kette von Gabbana«), über einen visuellen Missing Link zu verknüpfen. Neben einer detaillierten Analyse der Trackarchitekturen widmet sich der Beitrag dem Narrativitätswert im Battlerap, der Bipolarität von »Coolness vs. Conscious« und dem marktstrategischen Kalkül des Split-Videos als Neuauflage des Snippet-Tapes.
Vorurteile Pt. III (2014) von Fettes Brot
Authors: Hörner Fernand
Published: February 2020

Wie der Titel des Songs von der Hamburger HipHop Band Fettes Brot schon andeutet, handelt er von Vorurteilen und ist als Fortsetzung zweier anderer Songs zum Thema zu verstehen. Der Aufsatz differenziert zwischen Vorurteilen und Stereoytpen und diesbezüglich zwischen Auto- und Heterostereotypen, nicht nur in Bezug auf mentale Vorstellungen, sondern auch und vor allem als explizite und durchweg ironische Behauptungen. Auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen wird anderen Gruppen unterstellt, sie hätten Vorurteile und diese Aussage gleich selbst als Vorurteil performativ in Szene gesetzt.

Der Beitrag stellt mit Agent Olivia Oranges Morpheus (2013) einen Track ins Zentrum der Analyse, der abseits der großen Publikationswege liegt. Er stellt heraus, dass sich die Künstlerin selbstbewusst einem szenetypischen Schubladendenken entzieht, emanzipiert positioniert und deshalb für Irritationen sorgt.
Mensch ohne Gott, vergöttlichter Mensch
Authors: Pollich Julia Maria
Published: February 2020

Was sind die philosophischen Grundannahmen postmoderner Texte und inwieweit übernehmen sie das Denken Friedrich Nietzsches? Findet sich der postmoderne Stil umgekehrt schon bei Nietzsche selbst? Julia Maria Pollichs romanistisch ausgerichtete Studie verbindet eine originelle literaturwissenschaftliche Deutung von Nietzsches Schriften, welche dessen Übermenschen-Konzept in neuem Licht erscheinen lässt, mit dem Nachdenken über die philosophisch-poetologischen Unterschiede zwischen modernem und postmodernem Schreiben. Anhand von vier Autoren und Werken aus dem Zeitraum zwischen Fin de Siècle und dem französischen Poststrukturalismus wird so eine Brücke zwischen dem bei Nietzsche - entgegen seinem vorgeblichen Atheismus und »Antichristentum« - vorhandenen Mystik-Thema und der Mystik-Thematik der Postmoderne geschlagen.
Religionsfreiheit auf dem Prüfstand
Authors: Bielefeldt Heiner , Wiener Michael
Published: February 2020

Religionsfreiheit wird nicht nur in der Praxis vielfach verletzt, sondern ist auch Gegenstand politischer Auseinandersetzungen ganz grundsätzlicher Art. Für skeptische Traditionalist*innen trägt sie zur Erosion religiöser Loyalitäten bei - komplementär dazu befürchten manche Liberale, Religionsfreiheit werde zum Einfallstor für Obskurantismus und Fanatismus - und in der Perspektive postkolonialer Kritik steht sie für den Versuch, religiöse Praktiken einer globalen neoliberalen Hegemonie zu unterwerfen. Heiner Bielefeldt und Michael Wiener prüfen diese kritischen Einwände auf Grundlage ihrer langjährigen internationalen Erfahrung und plädieren für eine konsequent freiheitsrechtliche Lesart der Religionsfreiheit.

Published: February 2020

Literary reception encompasses reader’s role in making meaning from literary texts. Student’s reception of teenage short story can give an idea of student’s acceptance of this type of text. This is interesting because students as teenagers are rarely involved in responding to teenage short stories, particularly ones available in newspapers. This research aims to examine the reception of teen short stories in the Kedaulatan Rakyat Newspaper by students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Bantul Regency in terms of intellectual and emotional aspects. Respondents in this study are 128 students of MTsN 1 Bantul, MTsN 3 Bantul, MTsN 4 Bantul, MTs Al Falah, and MTs Hasyim Asy'ari. The data were collected using a reception questionnaire focusing on intellectual and emotional aspects. The results of the study are as follows. First, in terms of intellectual aspect, the students’ reception of teen short stories in Kedaulatan Rakyat is high (70.82%), moderate (15.62%), and low (13.58%). Second, in terms of emotional aspect, the students’ reception of teen short stories in this newspaper is high (38.86%), moderate (20.28%), and low (40.86%). Fourth, there is no significant difference between the reception of students from state madrasah and private madrasah. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that students of class IX of Madrasah Tsanawiyah, Bantul Regency can understand well the elements of story builders and the structure of short story, language, themes, and conflicts in the short story. Students also understand the logic of the story in the text and feel the tension of the conflict. The new values in the short stories and actions of the main characters are quite acceptable to students. Students are also interested enough to discuss the short stories further. Meanwhile, most students felt less emotional impact and do not feel the tension presented in the short story.

Published: February 2020

O sistema de classificação de periódicos Qualis tem sido utilizado como indicador da qualidade das pesquisas desenvolvidas no Brasil, configurando uma importante engrenagem dos mecanismos de avaliação da produção científica e distribuição de recursos no país. Nesse viés, esse artigo busca mostrar a forma como o sistema de classificação Qualis, não exaustivo e publicado anualmente, tem induzido a produção científica dos programas de pós-graduação brasileiros, após duas décadas de sua implantação pela CAPES. Para tanto, observou-se a frequência de publicações em periódicos que constavam no sistema Qualis entre 2007 e 2016, para oito diferentes áreas de avaliação. A partir da utilização do indicador SJR fornecido pela Scopus, o impacto internacional dos periódicos mais frequentes naquele período foi verificado, bem como a concentração de artigos entre os mesmos. Os resultados evidenciam que o Qualis direcionou a publicação de artigos para um número restrito de periódicos e que essa produção se concentrou naqueles de mais baixo fator de impacto dentre o restrito conjunto de veículos mais utilizados para publicação. A análise de dados permitiu observar o direcionamento dos esforços, por parte dos pesquisadores, para publicar em periódicos que trazem maior pontuação no sistema, independente do tipo de visibilidade proporcionada pelo veículo do ponto de vista nacional e internacional.

Günümüzde stratejik yönetim alanında vizyon kavramının yaygın olarak kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Kurum ve firmaların vizyonumuz başlığı altında yayınlamış oldukları mesajların geleceğe ilişkin bilgi vermekten çok, genellikle mevcut durumun iyileştirilmesine yönelik hedefler işaret ettiği ve çoğu firma ve kurumun mesajlarının içerik olarak birbirine benzediği görülmektedir, ilgili yazında ise vizyon kavramı tanımlarının genellikle soyut kaldığı görülmektedir.
Bu çalışmada, yukarıdaki gözlemlerden hareketle iki konu üzerinde durulmuştur. Önce, vizyon kavramının, girişimcilik okulunun vizyoner liderlik yaklaşımı ile stratejik yönetim alanına girişinin kuramsal arka planı incelenerek kavramın içeriğinin netleştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. İkinci olarak da, Türkiye’deki firma ve kurumlanıl yayınlamış oldukları vizyon mesajları, içerik analizi yöntemi ile incelenerek mevcut içeriklerinin neler olduğu ve bu içeriklerin kullanılmasının muhtemel nedenleri üzerinde durulmuştur.

İşletmelerin sosyal sorumluluğu bir kuruluşun eylemleriyle toplumu, kendi gruplarını ya da çevresini etkilemesini ifade eder. Sosyal sorumluluğa sahip olmak ekonomik misyonu elden bırakmak demek değildir. Bir işletmenin sosyal sorumlu olması onun diğerlerine kıyasla daha az kar ettiği anlamına gelmez. Sosyal sorumluluk; işletmeler için önce bir görev, ardından gelecek için bir yatırım olmalıdır. Sosyal sorumluluk kampanyaları topluma sosyal fayda kazandırma amacına dönük olarak gerçekleştirilmelidir. Bu tür kampanyalar samimi olarak gerçekleştirildiği tüketici tarafından kabul görmekte ve satın alma davranışlarına da yansıyabilmektedir. Bu makalede sosyal sorumluluk kavramı tartışılmaya çalışılacak, daha sonra bir anket çalışmasıyla sosyal sorumluluk kampanyalarının marka farkındalığı üzerindeki etkisi tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Günümüz işletmeleri oldukça geniş ve karmaşık bir çevrede faaliyet göstermektedirler. İşletmeler başarılı olmak ve sürekliliklerini sağlamak için, çevreye ve topluma minimum zarar, maksimum faydayı sağlamak zorunda olduklarının bilincindedirler. İşletmeler bir yandan kendi amaçlarını gerçekleştirmeye çalışırken, diğer taraftan toplumun talep ve beklentilerine de cevap vermek zorundadırlar.
Özellikle son zamanlardaki gelişmeler ve çevreye karşı duyarsızlıklar, kurumsal aktivitelerin sosyal etkilerinin tekrar gözden geçirilmesi gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmıştır.
İşletmelerin toplumun beklentilerine sosyal sorumluluklarının bir gereği olarak cevap vermemesi, hukuki önlemlerin zorunluluğunu ortaya koymuştur. Artan yasallaşma çabaları, işletmelerin, toplumun beklenti ve duyarlılığının farkına varmasını sağlamıştır.
Bu çalışmada genel olarak, işletmelerin çevreye karşı sorumlulukları, öncelikle sosyal boyutuyla, daha sonra da hukuki boyutuyla ele alınmıştır.

Etik insan davranışlarındaki ilişkileri yöneten kural ve standartları içeren felsefi bir disiplindir. Etik; değerler, ahlak ve toplum içinde davranışlara rehberlik eden normlarla ilgilidir. Son yıllara kadar etik değerlere uygun çalışmak yeterli ilgi görmemiştir. Her geçen gün kamuoyu ve işletmeler için etik önemli bir konu haline gelmesine rağmen, çok sayıda işletme kar maksimizasyonu sağlamanın etik prensiplerle çeliştiğini ve aralarında ters orantı olduğunu düşünmektedir. Oysa yapılan çalışmalar göstermiştir ki, etik davranan ve bu bilinçte olan işletmelerin finansal yapıları da güçlü olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, finansal yönetimde ve finansal piyasalarda etik davranışların benimsenmesinin yatırımcıların ve hissedarların lehine bir ortam oluşturduğunun ve etik ile kar maksimizasyonu hedefinin çelişmeyerek aksine birbirini desteklediğinin gösterilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.

Published: February 2020

Örgüt kültürü işletmelerin uzun dönemli başarılarında önemli rol oynamaktadır. Örgüt kültürü işletme stratejileri üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir ve örgüt kültürü işletme stratejilerinin belirlenmesinde göz önünde bulundurulması gereken bir kavramdır. Bu arada işletme stratejisi de organizasyonun mevcut değer sistemlerinden, temel varsayımlarından ve davranış normlarından etkilenmektedir. Bu nedenle yöneticilerin örgütsel kültürü başarı ile yönetmek ve işletme stratejisi ile uyumunu sağlamaları gerekmektedir. Örgüt kültürü - strateji uyumunda farklı yaklaşımlar vardır. Bu yaklaşımların ilki örgüt kültürünün stratejiye göre uyumlu hale getirilmesi taraftarıdır, ikinci yaklaşım ise stratejinin örgüt kültürüne uyumlu hale getirilmesini savunur. Örgüt kültürü stratejik yönetimin önemli bir parçasıdır. Örgüt kültürü işletmelerin başarısı üzerinde güçlü bir etkiye sahip olup stratejik uygunluğun oluşturulması ve devam ettirilmesine önemli katkılarda bulunabilir.

Medikal filmlerin yapımında, üretim sürecine eşlik eden çok boyutlu bir dizi sorunun üstesinden gelmek gerekmektedir. Bu sorunlar sağlık kurumlarına ve bu alandaki bilimsel gelişmelere yönelik kitle iletişim araçlarının yaklaşımı, izleyicilerin sağlık sorunlarını kitle iletişim araçlarından öğrenme biçimleri ve medikal yapımların üretiminde eğitici olma kaygıları gibi yapım fikrinin formülasyonunu ve üretim sürecinin gelişimini belirleyen arka plan faktörleridir. Diğer taraftan görsel iletişimin çok anlamlı özyapısı, film yapım yöntem ve tekniklerinin sağlık iletişiminin amaçlarına uygun olarak kullanılması gereği, kontrollü bir üretim çalışmasını zorunlu hale getirmektedir. Ayrıca hasta ve hastalıkların görüntülenmesiyle ilgili kurallar, mesleki etik ve sorumluluklar yapım çalışmalarını sınırlandıran diğer önemli faktörler olmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, burada bir dinamik üretim süreç modeli önerisi ortaya koyulmaktadır. Bu öneri, kapsayıcı bir sağlık veya eğitim iletişim modeli ve teorisi olarak değerlendirilmemelidir. Tercihen daha ileri araştırmalar için medikal içerik üretim sürecini etkileyen faktörleri şematik hale getiren bir düşünce alışveriş aracı olarak kabul edilmelidir.
Cognitive accessibility predicts word order of couples’ names in English and Japanese
Authors: Tachihara Karina , Goldberg Adele E.
Published: February 2020

We investigate the order in which speakers produce the proper names of couples they know personally in English and Japanese, two languages with markedly different constituent word orders. Results demonstrate that speakers of both languages tend to produce the name of the person they feel closer to before the name of the other member of the couple (N = 180). In this way, speakers’ unique personal histories give rise to a remarkably systematic linguistic generalization in both English and Japanese. Insofar as closeness serves as an index ofcognitive accessibility, the current work demonstrates that systematicity emerges from a domain-general property of memory.
Proteostasis in thermogenesis and obesity
Authors: Bartelt Alexander , Widenmaier Scott B.
Published: February 2020

The proper production, degradation, folding and activity of proteins, proteostasis, is essential for any cellular function. From single cell organisms to humans, selective pressures have led to the evolution of adaptive programs that ensure proteins are properly produced and disposed of when necessary. Environmental factors such as temperature, nutrient availability, pathogens as well as predators have greatly influenced the development of mechanisms such as the unfolded protein response, endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation and autophagy, working together in concert to secure cellular proteostasis. In our modern society, the metabolic systems of the human body face the distinct challenge of changed diets, chronic overnutrition and sedentary lifestyles. Obesity and excess white adipose tissue accumulation are linked to a cluster of metabolic diseases and disturbed proteostasis is a common feature. Conversely, processes that promote energy expenditure such as exercise, shivering as well as non-shivering thermogenesis by brown adipose tissue (BAT) and beige adipocytes counteract metabolic dysfunction. Here we review the basic concepts of proteostasis in obesity-linked metabolic diseases and focus on adipocytes, which are critical regulators of mammalian energy metabolism.
The biogenesis of mitochondrial intermembrane space proteins
Authors: Edwards Ruairidh , Gerlich Sarah , Tokatlidis Kostas
Published: February 2020

The mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) houses a large spectrum of proteins with distinct and critical functions. Protein import into this mitochondrial sub-compartment is underpinned by an intriguing variety of pathways, many of which are still poorly understood. The constricted volume of the IMS and the topological segregation by the inner membrane cristae into a bulk area surrounded by the boundary inner membrane and the lumen within the cristae is an important factor that adds to the complexity of the protein import, folding and assembly processes. We discuss the main import pathways into the IMS, but also how IMS proteins are degraded or even retro-translocated to the cytosol in an integrated network of interactions that is necessary to maintain a healthy balance of IMS proteins under physiological and cellular stress conditions. We conclude this review by highlighting new and exciting perspectives in this area with a view to develop a better understanding of yet unknown, likely unconventional import pathways, how presequence-less proteins can be targeted and the basis for dual localisation in the IMS and the cytosol. Such knowledge is critical to understanding the dynamic changes of the IMS proteome in response to stress, and particularly important for maintaining optimal mitochondrial fitness.
Experimental and Computational Studies of Aerated Stirred Tank with Dual Impeller
Authors: Teli Shivanand M. , Pawar Viraj S. , Mathpati Channamallikarjun
Published: February 2020

Stirred tanks are commonly used in chemical and allied industries for reaction and separation. In order to improve the mixing performance, large scale reactors are often equipped with multiple impellers. In the case of gas-liquid systems, the gas hold-up, mass transfer coefficient, and interfacial area strongly depend on the size and type of impellers, clearance between impellers and superficial gas velocity. In the present work, the effect of the impeller speed, superficial gas velocity, and top impeller position has been investigated on gas hold-up, interfacial area, and mass transfer coefficient. Computational fluid dynamics have been carried out for the multiphase multi-impeller system and the model predictions have been compared with the experimental data.

Factors determining choice of complementary and alternative medicine in acute and chronic diseases
Authors: Chowdhuri Praheli Dhar , Kundu Kaushik
Published: February 2020

Background

Systematic analysis of the determinants of choice of a treatment modality aids to the understanding of decision process of healthcare utilization. The revealed preference of a single modality may differ according to the nature of disease. Existing studies have not integrated possible causal factors in a model with respect to diseases. This study identifies major determinants and formulates their integral effect on choice of a particular modality on acute and chronic diseases in accordance to socio-behavioural model.

Methodology

A cross-sectional study on 300 samples using a 30-point questionnaire, developed in Likert scale and dichotomous scale. Possible determinants are tested on choice of CAM in case of acute disease and of chronic disease separately.

Results

Revealed single modality treatment preference (of CAM) varies widely between acute disease (13%) and chronic disease (58.67%). Bivariate associations are significant for gender (For, overall CAM preference, p=0.001, acute disease, p<0.001, chronic disease, p=0.024), Disease burden (overall and chronic: p<0.001, acute: p=0.008) and previous CAM usage (overall and chronic: p<0.001, acute: p=0.016). Social factor individually has significant influence on choosing CAM both acute (OR=1.096, p<0.001) and chronic disease (OR=1.036, p<0.001). Ideation of philosophical need factor, guided by philosophical congruence with CAM (OR=1.047, p<0.001) is a novel finding of this study. While with multiple logistic regression male gender (p=0.03), social factor (p<0.001), perception of CAM efficacy (p=0.02) and negative ideation about CAM cost-effectiveness (p=0.002) are found to be important in Acute disease; choosing CAM in chronic disease is guided by female gender (p=0.001), making decision in-group (p=0.001), low disease burden (p<0.001), philosophical need factor (p=0.001), and perception of CAM efficacy (p<0.001).

Conclusion

Demographic, social, cognitive and philosophical factors are important determinants of choosing CAM as a treatment modality over conventional medicine, but they act differently on CAM preference in acute and chronic diseases.
Bowel perforation after ventriculoperitoneal-shunt placement: case report and review of the literature
Authors: Gmeiner Matthias , Thomae Wolfgang , Tolino Marco , Senker Wolfgang , Gruber Andreas
Published: February 2020

Bowel perforation by a peritoneal catheter (BPPC) is a serious complication after ventriculoperitoneal shunting, with high mortality and morbidity rates. This patient presented with scalp ulceration over the shunt valve at the retromastoid region 26 years after shunt placement. During revision, the catheter distal to the valve was divided in the clavicular region. As there was no cerebrospinal fluid drainage, we decided to remove the ventricular catheter and valve. The ulceration was debrided and primarily closed. Distal to the clavicle, the disconnected peritoneal catheter was encased in a fibrous, calcified tunnel. To avoid piecemeal resection with multiple incisions, the catheter was not retrieved. Two years later, the patient presented with an abscess and pus draining from the clavicular wound. Cultures were positive for enteric bacteria. BPPC with retrograde spread of infection was suspected, and abdominal computed tomography confirmed perforation. We removed the disconnected catheter, but the perforation site could not be detected during laparotomy. The patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics and recovered without complications. To minimize complications, abandoned catheters should be avoided. Otherwise, patients unnecessarily have a life-long risk of developing abdominal complications. In patients with abandoned catheters and severe abdominal symptoms, BPPC is an important differential diagnosis.

The Fruits of the Unseen: A Jamesian Challenge to Explanatory Reductionism in Accounts of Religious Experience
Authors: Stepanenko Walter Scott
Published: February 2020

In Religious Experience, Wayne Proudfoot argued that a tout court rejection of reductionism in accounts of religious experience was not viable. According to Proudfoot, it’s possible to distinguish between an illegitimate practice of descriptive reductionism and the legitimate practice of explanatory reductionism. The failure to distinguish between these two forms of reductionism resulted in a protective strategy, or an attempt to protect religious experience from the reach of scientific explanation. Among the theorists whom he accused of deploying this illegitimate strategy Proudfoot included William James and his work in The Varieties of Religious Experience. In this article, I argue that while James does occasionally deploy a protective strategy in Varieties, this is not the only nor most important method of treating religious experience James developed. Implicit in his rejection of medical materialism, James not only deploys the protective strategy Proudfoot criticizes, but the pragmatic method with which he treats all claims. I argue that James’s pragmatic method leads to what James called noetic pluralism, or the view that there is no privileged knowledge practice, but a plurality of knowledge practices, and that this method puts pressure on the explanatory reductionist, who is implicitly committed to noetic monism.
Microstructure and compressive behavior of lamellar Al2O3p/Al composite prepared by freeze-drying and mechanical-pressure infiltration method

Published: February 2020

Infiltrated molten Al matrix by mechanical-pressure infiltration method into the ceramic scaffold prepared by freeze-drying technology could prepare dense lamellar Al matrix composites without damage of the biomimetic microstructure of the scaffold. However, the investigation of lamellar Al matrix composites prepared by freeze-drying and mechanical-pressure infiltration method has not been fully understood yet. In the present work, the Al2O3 scaffold with pearl layer structure was prepared by freezing-dry method, and eventually the lamellar Al2O3p/Al composite was fabricated by mechanical-pressure infiltration method. The Al matrix was infiltrated well into the large pores of the Al2O3 scaffold, and the lamellar structure of the Al2O3 was well preserved. The hardness of the lamellar Al2O3p/Al composite was isotropic in transvers and perpendicular directions. However, the compressive strengths of the lamellar Al2O3p/Al composite were significant anisotropic while the compressive strength in transvers direction was 127.7% higher than that in the perpendicular direction, indicating the integrality of the lamellae microstructure (especially the bridging layers). Due to the mismatched deformability, weak debonding was observed between Al and Al2O3p/Al layers in the fracture surface of the lamellar Al2O3p/Al composite. It indicates that the interfacial bonding between Al and Al2O3p/Al layers is rather strong, which is beneficial for higher strength in transvers direction but lead to lower strength in perpendicular direction.
Implicit and Explicit Words of Wisdom in Aeschylusand inPrometheus Bound:A Laconically Generalizing Titan and a Densely Lavish Poet
Authors: Manousakis Nikos
Published: February 2020

Prometheus Boundis a disputed play in the Aeschylean corpus. For some time now the impact of this short description seems to be gradually unraveling the renowned reputation this play used to enjoy. What was in the past the grandiose work of an eminent master, is now regarded by a rising number of scholars as a rather simplistic composition by an anonymous author. Yet, even though the disputed play could not have been composed by Aeschylus, and is indeed nothing like Aeschylus in the summit of his art, as we know him in the main through the fully extant dramas of the last fifteen or so years of his career,Pr. is not devoid of genuine dramatic value. In the present study I focus on the generalizations in the plays in the Aeschylean corpus. I attempt to show that even though the author ofPr. and Aeschylus are clearly different in how they exploit generalizations, this does not –ipso facto – imply that the anonymous former is incompetent in this respect, while the famous latter is most skillful. They are two different playwrights with two different, yet both very special, approaches in handling generalizations.

Contest of Poetry in Alexandria: Call.Ia. 1, 13, Herod.Mim.8,al.
Authors: Tsantsanoglou Kyriakos
Published: February 2020

A combined investigation of Herod.Mim. 8 (Ἐνύπνιον) with Callim.Ia. 1, 13, andEp. 8, reveals that they all relate to a certain poetic contest that took place in Alexandria under the auspices of Ptolemy I, in one of the last years of his reign. The contest, must have been co-ordinated by the Mouseion and its director at the time, Zenodotus. The two poets took part in the contest, together with a host of other poets. Callim.Ia. 1 gives a figurative account of the contest’s course of action. Herodas, awaiting the results, writesMim. 8, where he expresses his hopes for a prize, though he suspects foul play on behalf of the poets employed at the Mouseion by the king who was supposed to decide the prize. Callim.Ep. 8 is a sarcastic reply to Herodas’ fears, whileIa. 13 narrates the harsh criticism Callimachus received from Zenodotus and his proud reaction in response, obviously after his contribution was rejected.
A Strange Epigram and the Date of Hegesander
Authors: Guasti Duccio
Published: February 2020

This paper is on an epigram reported by Hegesander of Delphi (LGGA F 11), which was constituted exclusively of neologistic compounds. Its peculiarity, in attacking the hypocrisy of Cynics, is the complete disregard of any morphological rules as in no other known Greek text. I analyze this poem from the point of view of language, context, and content. I consider also other epigrams on the same theme. I will discuss the stereotype of the pseudo-Cynic charlatan, common in texts from the imperial period, on the base of which I suggest changing the date of the epigram (and consequently of Hegesander) to the early imperial era.
Horizontal Dynamic Cone Penetrometer: A New Device for Estimating Engineering Properties of Vertical Soil Wall in SP Soils
Authors: Malek G. , Khamehchiyan M. , Nikoudel M. R. , Harsini K. Moradi
Published: February 2020

Despite the high performance of dynamic penetration tests such as dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) for assessing the engineering properties of site materials, they are not efficient for vertical soil walls. To deal with this issue, an automatic portable time-saving horizontal dynamic cone penetrometer (HDCP) was invented in this study. A set of HDCP model tests were performed on the Tehran young alluvial sediments at different depths and various relative densities, which indicated the high repeatability of the developed equipment with the coefficient of variation (COV) ranging from 7 to 16 %. Multiple correlations were developed between the HDCP output, i.e., dynamic penetration index (DPI), and the parameters including relative density, Young’s modulus, shear modulus, subgrade reaction coefficient, ultimate bearing capacity, and internal friction angle. The results revealed that the equations had a high coefficient of determination (R2 ≈ 0.9). In addition, to compare the results of HDCP with standard DCP, a DCP test with a 4-kg hammer under the same conditions as those of HDCP was performed to provide an energy level equivalent to that of HDCP (about 21 J). As a result, a relationship between HDCP and standard DCP was obtained using the energy ratio of the standard DCP to DCP4kg. Considering the obtained high coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.95) between HDCP and DCP indices, the HDCP index can be converted to DCP index. So, the proposed DCP-based equations can be used for evaluating the engineering parameters of vertical soil walls with different materials.

During the supervisory activities of the brain, the electrical activities of nerve cell clusters produce oscillations. These complex biopotential oscillations are called electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Certain diseases, such as epilepsy, can be detected by measuring these signals. Epilepsy is a disease that manifests itself as seizures. These seizures manifest themselves in different characteristics. These different characteristics divide epilepsy seizure types into two main groups: generalized and partial epilepsy. This study aimed to classify different types of epilepsy from EEG signals. For this purpose, a scalogram-based, deep learning approach has been developed. The utilized classification process had the following main steps: the scalogram images were obtained by using the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) method. So, a one-dimension EEG time series was converted to a two-dimensional time-frequency data set in order to extract more features. Then, the increased dimension data set (CWT scalogram images) was applied to the convolutional neural network (CNN) as input patterns for classifying the images. The EEG signals were taken from Dicle University, Neurology Clinic of Medical School. This data consisted of four classes: healthy brain waves, generalized preseizure, generalized seizure, and partial epilepsy brain waves. With the proposed method, the average accuracy performance of three of the EEG records’ classes (healthy, generalized preseizure, and generalized seizure), and that of all four classes of EEG records were 90.16 % (± 0.20) and 84.66 % (± 0.48). According to these results, regarding the specific accuracy ratings of the recordings, the healthy EEG records scored 91.29 %, generalized epileptic seizure records were at 96.50 %, partial seizure EEG records scored 89.63 %, and the preseizure EEG records had a 90.44 % rating. The results of the proposed method were compared to the results of both similar studies and conventional methods. As a result, the performance of the proposed method was found to be acceptable.
Experimental Study on the Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy at Elevated Temperature
Authors: Chow Z. P. , Ahmad Z. , Wong K. J.
Published: February 2020

This paper presents the effects of elevated temperature on the mechanical response of a glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composite. The mechanical properties taken into account are tensile, compression and shear. All tests are carried out at temperatures of 30°C, 70°C and 110°C, below the glass transition temperature of the resin. The properties along fibre direction and perpendicular to fibre direction are investigated, with two sets consisting of 0° and 90° fibre direction for tensile and compression tests. Stress-strain profiles at each temperature are firstly compared. Subsequently, the elastic modulus and the ultimate strength with respect to temperature are assessed. The results indicate that tensile properties remain relatively unaffected at 70°C but drop rapidly at 110°C. In addition, compressive properties decrease steadily from 30°C to 110°C, while shear properties are heavily degraded with increasing temperature. Fibre dominated properties have better heat resistance compared to matrix dominated properties due to matrix softening and weakening.

Mutations affecting spliceosomal proteins are frequently found in hematological malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DDX41/Abstrakt is a metazoan-specific spliceosomal DEAD-box RNA helicase that is recurrently mutated in inherited myelodysplastic syndromes and in relapsing cases of AML. The genetic properties and genomic impacts of disease-causing missense mutations in DDX41 and other spliceosomal proteins have been uncertain. Here, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans DDX41 ortholog, SACY-1. Biochemical analyses defined SACY-1 as a component of the C. elegans spliceosome, and genetic analyses revealed synthetic lethal interactions with spliceosomal components. We used the auxin-inducible degradation system to analyze the consequence of SACY-1 depletion on the transcriptome using RNA sequencing. SACY-1 depletion impacts the transcriptome through splicing-dependent and splicing-independent mechanisms. Altered 3′ splice site usage represents the predominant splicing defect observed upon SACY-1 depletion, consistent with a role for SACY-1 in the second step of splicing. Missplicing events appear more prevalent in the soma than the germline, suggesting that surveillance mechanisms protect the germline from aberrant splicing. The transcriptome changes observed after SACY-1 depletion suggest that disruption of the spliceosome induces a stress response, which could contribute to the cellular phenotypes conferred by sacy-1 mutant alleles. Multiple sacy-1/ddx41 missense mutations, including the R525H human oncogenic variant, confer antimorphic activity, suggesting that their incorporation into the spliceosome is detrimental. Antagonistic variants that perturb the function of the spliceosome may be relevant to the disease-causing mutations, including DDX41, affecting highly conserved components of the spliceosome in humans.
Kobiecość w paleolicie – analiza i interpretacja figurek „Wenus” z obszaru Europy Środkowej
Authors: Grzelczyk Maciej
Published: February 2020

Fascynacja kobietami trwa od dawna. Ich ciało oraz gesty były, są i zapewne nadal będą inspiracją dla twórczości niezliczonych artystów. Podziw ten rozpoczął się kilkadziesiąt tysięcy lat temu w paleolitycznej Europie, kiedy to nasi przodkowie zaczęli tworzyć z różnych materiałów, małe fi gurki przedstawiające kobiety, tzw. „Wenus”. Często o nieproporcjonalnych kształtach i ponadnormatywnych, trzeciorzędowych cechach płciowych, było to jednak uwarunkowane stylem, a zarazem kulturą paleolitu, w której powstawały. Możemy zaobserwować zmiany zachodzące w sposobie ukazywania kobiet, od realistycznych przedstawień do praktycznie samych konturów kobiecego ciała, z ewidentnym wyszczególnieniem pośladków. Napisano wiele prac traktujących o przeznaczeniu tego typu fi gurek, a temat ten budzi burzliwe dyskusje na międzynarodowej arenie naukowej. Niektórzy z badaczy dopatrują się w nich poświadczenia hipotez na istnienie matriarchatu w najdawniejszych społeczeństwach Starego Kontynentu, inni z kolei skłaniają się ku twierdzeniu, że spełniały funkcje totemów gwałtów lub swego rodzaju „sex toys”, mających na celu wywoływać uczucie podniecenia u mężczyzn. Najtrafniejsza w moim odczuciu wydaje się być teoria, która opiera swe założenia na przekonaniu, iż fi gurki te były tworzone w celach kultowych, związanych z płodnością. Przedstawienie analizy oraz koncepcji na temat wybranych postaci „Wenus” z Europy Środkowej, daje możliwość ukazania ewolucji postrzegania kobiecości w okresie paleolitu.
Nieokreśloność gatunkowa i rozbieżność interpretacji: postmodernistyczne spojrzenie na Salome Oscara Wilde’a
Authors: Słowik Agata
Published: February 2020

Oscar Wilde. Mistrz ciętej riposty i błyskotliwego aforyzmu a jednocześnie przenikliwy obserwator wyższej klasy społeczeństwa wiktoriańskiego. W swojej twórczości wielokrotnie krytykuje społeczeństwo brytyjskiego dekadentyzmu, jednak nigdy w sposób oczywisty. Najlep-szym tego przykładem jest sztuka Salomé, przez wielu krytyków traktowana jako dramat czy też klasyczna tragedia, będąca jednak zawoalowaną drwiną a nawet metaforą zdegenerowanych wyższych sfer brytyjskiego fi n de siècle. Autor celowo defamiliaryzuje sztukę poprzez osadzenie akcji w czasach biblĳ nych w celu nie tylko spotęgowania jej odbioru, ale także zapobiegnięcia automatyzacji percypowania. Dzięki temu Salomé jest nie tylko głównym obrazem archetypu femme fatale czyli kobiety fatalnej, ale staje się także samoświadomym i samorefl eksyjnym satyrycznym krytycyzmem. Jednakże taka interpretacja możliwa jest tylko przy postmodernistycznym spojrzeniu na teorię parodii i autoironii reprezentowaną m.in. przez Lindę Hutcheon czy Michele Hannoosh.
Niebezpieczne książki. Rozważania o kategorii opresji w literaturze dla najmłodszych
Authors: Gromysz Jowita
Published: February 2020

Poddając analizie wybrane teksty polskiej i zagranicznej literatury dziecięcej z okresu XIX i XX wieku, warto zwrócić uwagę na ich opresyjność w perspektywie nadawczo-odbiorczej. Kategorię opresji można obserwować w zależności od przyjętej koncepcji dzieciństwa przez autora oraz tego, którego z uczestników komunikacji literackiej dotyka przemoc symboliczna; może być to odbiorca dziecięcy oraz dorosły pośrednik lektury. Czytelnicy poznając świat mają prawo do poznania autentycznych opowieści (poruszających wszystko to, co znajduje się w kręgu zainteresowań dziecka w tym trudne tematy), jednak zbyt natrętna funkcja wychowawcza tekstu może stanowić swego rodzaju „ucisk czytelniczy” - o czym powinni pamiętać nie tylko autorzy ale wszyscy ci, którzy wprowadzają dziecko w świat lektury.

Protestancka etyka pracy w zawodzie nauczyciela akademickiego
Authors: Kucharska Anna Maria
Published: February 2020

Artykuł ten dotyczy etyki pracy w zawodzie nauczyciela akademickiego. Swoje rozważania prowadzę w oparciu o dwie główne teorie: protestanckiej etyki pracy Maxa Webera oraz jej adaptacji do środowiska akademickiego Roberta Mertona. Omawiam je w polskim kontekście kształtowania się etosu akademickiego, przywołując prace Dietricha Bonhoeff era oraz wartości fundamentalne dla protestanckiego etosu pracy czyli uczciwości, rzetelności i pracowitości w ich religĳnym oraz pozareligĳ nym wymiarze. Na tym tle podejmę próbę przeglądu obszarów zagrożeń i wypaczeń w szeregach polskiej kadry akademickiej wskazując kategorię odpowiedzialności jako kluczową w budowaniu etosu akademickiego.
Płynna nowoczesność: czas zabawy i karnawału
Authors: Fudala Rafał
Published: February 2020

Rzeczywistość w której żyjemy, określana jest przez Zygmunta Baumana płynną nowoczesnością. Jednym z wielu jej symptomów jest niestałość wszelkich struktur kulturowych, powstałych w dobie modernizmu jako fundamenty społeczeństwa. Ludzie żyjący w płynnej nowoczesności nieskorzy są do podejmowania wysiłku – poszukują rozwiązań wymagających minimalnej inwestycji własnych sił. Jeszcze lepiej, gdyby każde zadanie mogło być zabawą, aktywnością niezwykle ważną dla dziecka, ale niekoniecznie najistotniejszą dla osoby dorosłej. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie, że żyjemy w czasie permanentnego karnawału, okresu zabawy i swawoli, w którym zawieszone zostały niektóre społeczne normy i zasady. Okres ten miał trwać jedynie chwilę, być ucieczką, odpoczynkiem od codziennego trudu. Przedłużył się jednak znacząco, i nikt nie chce już wracać do wcześniejszej, w porównaniu z nim ascetycznej rzeczywistości.
Pługiem i purpurą albo Polska Ludowa jako monarchia
Authors: Kuligowski Piotr
Published: February 2020

Artykuł dotyczy monarchistycznych koncepcji Polski Ludowej. O Polsce Ludowej na polskiej lewicy i centrolewicy pisano i dyskutowano przynajmniej od 1905 r., a koncepcje monarchistyczne były niszowe wśród jej wyobrażeń. Pojawiły się one jedynie w programie Związku Młodej Polski Ludowej w 1907 r. oraz w analogicznym dokumencie Zjednoczenia Ludowego z 1917 r. Pierwszy z tych tekstów jest bardziej socjalny w sferze społecznej, drugi – nieco bardziej zachowawczy. Oba są jednak świadectwem chłopskiego przywiązania do instytucji monarchii, które zniknęło ostatecznie w okresie międzywojennym.
Muzyczne oswajanie dzieci ze strachem

Published: February 2020

Istotę muzycznego oswajania dzieci ze strachem, w kontekście mojego artykułu, stanowi piosenka, dotycząca tematyki strachu, której odpowiedni dobór pod względem treści emocjonalnej i muzycznej stwarza szeroką przestrzeń do organizowania rozmaitych działań edukacyjnych. Jej poznanie ma zatem wymiar istotny nie tylko ze względu na aspekt muzyczny i kulturowy, ale także emocjonalny. Na podstawie badania dokumentów i analizy materiału symbolicznego w artykule podejmuję próbę odpowiedzi na pytania dotyczące sposobu wyrażenia emocji strachu w warstwie tekstowej i muzycznej piosenek dla dzieci.
