Historie y Geschichte en los Cuadernos negros de Heidegger
Authors: Vitiello Vicenzo
Published: August 2018

Más allá de las necesarias observaciones al uso sobre el antisemitismo de los Cuadernos negros de Heidegger, escritos entre 1931 y 1948, el ensayo propone una importante paradoja: estos cuadernos, exposición —ahora pública— de un incesante trabajo artesanal sobre el destino del (¿propio?) mundo, giran en torno a dos nociones, de difícil traducción: Geschichte y Historie. La Geschichte correspondería al modo en que, desde el desarrollo —interpretado— del ser, éste da cuenta de sí mismo, de sus envíos y de su agotamiento, en espera de un nuevo inicio. Por el contrario, la Historie correspondería a la representación «científico-técnica» con que la Modernidad da cuenta de sí y de su pasado, en cuanto degradación secularizada del cristianismo. La paradoja consistiría, entonces, en que, por un lado, sería la Geschichte (en cuanto «historia-del-ser») la que entendería a la Historie como la última peripecia de una errancia (dado que, en los años 30 del pasado siglo, ambos movimientos habrían coincidido en Europa), que llevaría a su autodestrucción. Pero, por su parte, la Historie misma da cuenta de la Seinsgeschichte como un modo más, entre otros (y no el más afortunado ni científico) de explicar la historia. Así, Occidente, falto de raíces (de pagus: el «país»), se encaminaría a su ocaso. Heidegger: pagano convencido, cristiano a su pesar.
El útil y la cosa. Del mundo del Dasein al mundo como cuadratura (Geviert)
Authors: Bertorello Adrián
Published: August 2018

En el presente trabajo se compara la fenomenología del mundo de Sein und Zeit con la reflexión de la cuadratura en la conferencia Das Ding para mostrar cómo el peso de la argumentación en 1927 se centra en el «por mor de» (Worumwillen) mientras que en 1949 ese peso de desplaza hacia la noción del «donar» (schenken). Este desplazamiento que saca al útil del contexto del «por mor de» y lo sitúa en otro que no se rige exclusivamente por referencia a una «figura antropológica» que asigna finalidades puede ser caracterizado como una depragmatización del útil. Con ello se quiere afirmar que la donación de la jarra expresa la idea de que el útil no requiere de otra finalidad ajena que su propio darse a sí mismo.
Los restos de un pensamiento humanista o el «Dasein» como coleccionista en «Ser y Tiempo»
Authors: Garavito Zuluaga Juan Pablo
Published: August 2018

La confrontación de Heidegger con el humanismo es bien conocida: es la forma de toda metafísica entendida desde la subjetividad. La tesis que se defiende en el ensayo es que hay otra forma de entender su relación con el humanismo desde un punto de vista espacial. Se establece una relación entre la concepción del espacio cotidiano y de lo «a la mano» en Ser y Tiempo, y la noción de colección en los primeros humanistas. De este modo se muestra que el humanismo temprano no es un antecesor del subjetivismo cartesiano, y que, tal como lo proponen Gadamer o Grassi, representa una corriente que bebe de fuentes diferentes a la dominante en el pensamiento occidental. Heidegger, de un modo indirecto, apropia ese pensamiento para su proyecto de Ser y Tiempo.
Diferencia óntico-ontológica y mismidad. Una interpretación de la herencia heideggeriana en M. Foucault y G. Deleuze
Authors: Sáez Rueda Luis
Published: August 2018

El ensayo constituye una interpretación de la herencia de M. Heidegger en las filosofías de M. Foucault y G. Deleuze. Tal interpretación se hace desde una perspectiva precisa y selectiva. Se trata de analizar el modo en que la diferencia óntico-ontológica heideggeriana es transformada en el núcleo del pensamiento de estos dos pensadores. El autor parte de la tesis según la cual Heidegger conserva restos del pensamiento identitario en su concepción del ser, al caracterizarlo simultáneamente como acontecimiento diferencial y como lo Mismo (das Selbe). Es esta dificultad la que intenta ser resuelta, de un modo semejante, en las filosofías de Foucault y de Deleuze. El ensayo sostiene que en estas últimas la mismidad es disuelta en favor de una «multiplicidad acontecimental en estado naciente».

Authors: Yao Di , Song Yonghui , Zhang Shan , Tian Yuhong , Lan Xinzhe
Published: August 2018

The effects of applied voltage on cyanide wastewater treatment by three-dimensional electrodes were primarily examined. The main electrodes were produced from self-made coal-based electrode materials, and activated carbon was used as a particle electrode to treat cyanide wastewater. Changes in the concentration of ions in wastewater were determined and analyzed through Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy. Results show that voltage significantly affects wastewater treatment via the three-dimensional electrodes. In particular, the removal rate of the ions in wastewater increases as voltage increases. The reaction mechanism of the three-dimensional electrodes also varies at different voltages. At 1 V, the reaction mechanism of the three-dimensional electrodes involves electro-adsorption. The removal rates of CNT, Cu, Zn, SCN−, and CN− in wastewater are 31.81%, 53.04%, 36.11%, 29.05%, and 29.05%, respectively. The reaction mechanism of the three-dimensional electrodes includes electro-adsorption and enrichment precipitation when voltage is increased to 2 V. The three-dimensional electrode plays a significant role in electrolytic deposition when voltage is further increased to 3 and 4 V. Cu, Zn, and other heavy metal ions are reduced on the cathode and on the particle electrode surface, and the removal rates of CNT, Cu, Zn, SCN−, and CN− in wastewater are 93.94%, 95.22%, 97.23%, 99.38%, and 94.93%, respectively.

Published: August 2018

The interaction of Eu(III) ion with 7-carboxymethoxy-4-methylcoumarin (CMMC) has been investigated using the potentiometric method in the ethanol-water mixture solvent (0.15 volume fraction). The formation of the different binary, ternary complexes is confirmed by the corresponding pH-potentiometric curves. SUPERQUAD computer program has been used for the refinement of all the calculated constants in our present study. Electroanalytical techniques have been used to confirm the formation of different binary and ternary complexes under investigation. The binding constant of the ternary complex Eu(III)-CMMC-DNA calculated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse (DP) was found to be 1.8 and 2.5x 105 M-1 in Tris-HCl, respectively. The changes in the current intensity have been used for the quantitative determination of DNA over a linear concentration range with LOD of 1.0-1.3 µg/ ml in 0.1 M Tris-HCl buffer.

Authors: Chen Weiliang , Pang Shuhua , Liu Zheng , Yang Zhewei , Fan Xin , Fang Dong
Published: August 2018

Polypyrrole with hierarchical dendritic structures assembled with cauliflower-like structure of nanospheres, was synthesized by chemical oxidation polymerization. The structure of polyryrrole was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical performance was performed on CHI660 electrochemical workstation. The results show that oxalic acid has a significant effect on morphology of PPy products. The hierarchical dendritic PPyOA(3) electrodes possess a large specific capacitance as high as 744 F/g at a current density of 0.2 A/g and could achieve a higher specific capacitance of 362 F/g even at a current density of 5.0 A/g. Moreover, the dendritic PPy products produce a large surface area on the electrode through the formation of the channel structure with their assembled cauliflower-like morphology, which facilitates the charge/electron transfer relative to the spherical PPy electrode. The spherical dendritic PPyOA(3) electrode has 58% retention of initial specific capacitance after 260 cycles. The as-prepared dendritic polypyrrole with high performance is a promsing electrode material for supercapacitor.
Impact of Experimental Parameters on Degradation Mechanism and Service Life Prediction of CFRP Anode during Simulated ICCP Process
Authors: Sun Hongfang , Liu Jian , Chu Kun , Memon Shazim Ali , Cen Zhuo , Zhang Xiaogang , Li Dawang , Xing Feng
Published: August 2018

In actual building structure, it usually takes tens of years for the degradation to be significantly observed during impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) process. Thus, simulated ICCP with aqueous electrolyte (instead of concrete) was used as an accelerated method to study degradation mechanism and make service life prediction. In this work, the impact of parameters including current (density) and NaCl electrolyte concentration on the degradation mechanism and service life prediction was evaluated for a simulated ICCP system with CFRP as anode. Experiments were performed with different levels of applied current (4, 10, and 20 mA) as well as with different NaCl electrolyte concentrations (3, 10, and 20% by mass). Test results showed that under all the designed conditions, both chlorination and oxidation reaction occurred during the simulated ICCP process, ensuring consistency of mechanism. From the aspect of service life prediction of CFRP, it was found that the system was not sensitive to the concentration of NaCl electrolyte but was much more influenced by the current (density) applied. Thus, for the simulated ICCP system, the current (density) should be carefully chosen since a tiny change in level of current may cause a large variation in service life prediction.

Published: August 2018

This work is concerned with the use of gold doped reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films as counter electrode in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The effect of gold content on the photovoltaic parameters of the device has been studied. The samples are crystalline, indicated by the presence of rGO phase. It was found that the short-circuit current density (JSC) decreases with the increase in gold content. The DSSC utilizing the sample prepared using 2.0 wt.% gold demonstrated the highest JSC, Voc and η of 0.989 mA cm-2, 0.692 V and 0.175%, respectively. The highest efficiency (η) of the device is due to the lowest leak current and charge transfer resistance (Rct).

Published: August 2018

Preparation and characterization of a Pt-based catalyst supported on poly(vinylferrocenium)-poly(pyyrole) conducting polymer composite (Pt@PVF-PPy) was described for electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid. Pt precursor was aqueous solution of K2PtCl4 and electrochemical and chemical reduction methods were compared for optimum catalyst performance. Other experimental parameters such as polymer film thickness and Pt loading were also optimized with respect to the formic acid oxidation peak current values. Scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry methods were used for physical and electrochemical characterization of the catalyst system. When compared with similar Pt-based conducting polymer supported catalyst systems, the Pt@PVF-PPy catalyst revealed superior performance for formic acid electrooxidation.
Penatalaksanaan Gizi pada Pasien dengan Kanker Pankreas
Authors: Probosari Enny
Published: August 2018

ABSTRAKPenanganan karsinoma pankreas terdiri atas 3 modalitas terapi yaitu pembedahan, kemoterapi dan radioterapi. Pilihan untuk pembedahan kuratif meliputi pankreatikoduodenektomi (prosedur Whipple), pankreatektomi distal, dan pankreatektomi total. Pankreatektomi total merupakan terapi yang paling efektif, akan tetapi hanya dapat dilakukan pada sekitar 10-20% kasus. Selain itu, angka survival-5-tahun hanya 10-15% dengan median 11-18 bulan. Kontraindikasi absolut operasi reseksi adalah metastasis pada hepar, peritoneal maupun limfonodi jauh, atau pasien yang keadaan klinisnya tidak memungkinkan untuk dilakukan operasi mayor. Pankreatikoduodenektomi dengan reseksi vena porta atau vena mesenterika superior cukup aman dan bisa dilakukan, dengan mortalitas dan morbiditas yang sama dengan pankreatikoduodenektomi tanpa reseksi vaskuler. Penatalaksanaan gizi sangat diperlukan untuk mempertahankan status gizi yang optimal serta mendukung terapi medis supaya lebih efektif.
Suplementasi Seng untuk Pencegahan Penyakit Infeksi
Authors: Candra Aryu
Published: August 2018

Seng diperlukan oleh manusia dan hewan untuk melaksanakan fungsi fisiologis, seperti pertumbuhan,  kekebalan tubuh, dan reproduksi. Defisiensi seng menyebabkan anoreksia, gangguan pertumbuhan, dermatitis, gangguan pengecapan, dan hipogonadisme. Prevalensi defisiensi seng pada balita di Indonesia belum diketahui dengan pasti, namun diperkirakan cukup tinggi mengingat pola makan balita di Indonesia yang belum sesuai dengan anjuran pedoman gizi seimbang. Dari hasil penelitian awal pada tahun 2016 diketahui bahwa asupan seng pada balita di wilayah kelurahan Jomblang kota Semarang 30% termasuk dalam kategori kurang.Seng juga sangat berperan dalam proses pertumbuhan, perkembangan fungsi kognitif, dan imunitas.. Banyak penelitian yang sudah membuktikan bahwa defisiensi seng dan zat besi menyebabkan gangguan pertumbuhan dan fungsi kognitif. Defisiensi seng juga dapat menurunkan jumlah dan ukuran sel-sel imun, terutama sel T sehingga kekebalan tubuh akan menurun yang menyebabkan balita menjadi lebih mudah terserang penyakit infeksi.Pola makan balita di Indonesia sebagian besar hanya terdiri atas makronutrien yaitu karbohidrat, protein, dan lemak. Hal ini yang menyebabkan munculnya defisiensi mikronutrien pada balita. Oleh karena itu diperlukan suplementasi mikronutrien seperti seng untuk mengatasi defisiensi seng pada balita sehingga dapat meningkatkan imunitas dan mencegah infeksi.

Związki frazeologiczne z komponentem bank w polszczyźnie
Authors: Ignatowicz-Skowrońska Jolanta
Published: August 2018

The subject of the article concerns phraseological units with the lexeme bank that can be found in the Polish language. The lexeme bank, which has been present in Polish since the sixteenth century, became the basis for a group of phraseological connections founded on three out of the four meanings of the word registered in dictionaries. More or less typically phraseological expressions were created around the meaning of the word bank as a money trading institution, or as a place where something is kept or stored and finally as a pot or pool in gambling games. The fourth meaning of bank, as an edifice that holds an institution involved in financial turnover, proved to be unattractive phraseologically and did not result in forming any phraseological units. Also it should be emphasized that some of the analyzed phraseological connections undergo semantic modifications in contemporary Polish, which have not yet been recorded in lexicographic collections. It happens so as new shades of meaning of the phrases rozbić bank (hit the jackpot) or trzymać bank (hold the pot) have not yet been fully established in the language and need to be carefully observed.
Leksem cud i jego derywaty w historii polszczyzny
Authors: Krótki Zuzanna
Published: August 2018

In the article the fifty lexical units were analysed and attributed to the word family of the noun – cud (miracle). The general scope of the analysis was created by the semasiological method. Stemming from the etymology, upon investigation by which methods the particular wordforms acquired new senses it was characterized by movements and objective, which these modifications served. As it turned out the researched lexical units concentrated around such semantic fields as: WONDER and STRANGENESS. The second category (field) developed not until the 18th century. Earlier the analyzed derivatives implied such words as: ‘beauty’, ‘perfectness’, ‘politeness’, ‘magic’, ‘wizardry’ and ‘fraud’. The life changing events and the developing knowledge caused the eradication of last written material and as it happened nobody correlates the jugglers with the miracle makers.
Kohiponimia jako relacja z pogranicza kategorii opozycji semantycznej. Perspektywa użytkownika języka polskiego: badanie psycholingwistyczne
Authors: Mikołajczak-Matyja Nawoja Mikołajczak-Matyja
Published: August 2018

The paper considers the relation of semantic opposition in terms of the prototype theory of concepts. Its purpose is to provide information on peripheral or border areas of the category of semantic opposition. Data from linguistic analyzes, as well as the results of contemporary corpus studies, indicate that pairs of co-hyponyms from multi-element sets are potentially relevant material in peripheral areas of the category of semantic opposition. A psycholinguistic study was conducted to verify the psychological reality of the data. 720 Polish language users were instructed to provide semantic oppositions to the list of 24 stimuli words (test of directed associations). The research material was Polish nouns belonging to 3 lexical fields: animals, plants and artifacts, with no obvious semantic oppositions (as bee, cabbage, vase). It turned out that, according to the hypothesis, proportions of reactions classified as co-hyponyms of stimuli are high: for 21 stimuli it was 52–94% of the response corpora and for 22 stimuli the dominant reaction was co-hyponym of the stimulus word (as cabbage-lettuce, bee-wasp, vase-flowerpot). The characteristics that determine the choice of a given co-hyponym as the semantic opposite of the stimulus were identified. The remainder of the response corpus was analyzed in order to reveal other ways and mechanisms for seeking the semantic opposition by respondents. The data obtained in the presented study confirm the necessity to incorporate the problem of co-hyponymic pairs from multi-element sets into reflections on the category of the semantic opposition.

Food Retail Liberalization, Food Retail Structure and Food Prices: The Italian Case
Authors: Castellari Elena , Bonanno Alessandro , Sckokai Paolo
Published: August 2018

In the last two decades the Italian food retail industry has changed considerably also thanks to the liberalization process started with the 1998 retail regulation reform. In this study, we investigate the impact of such reform on the food and beverage consumer price index, controlling for the endogenous nature of the policy adoption across regions, and addressing what changes in food retail structure may have driven those effects. We find that the policy had a mitigating effect on food prices, which can be explained by the change in the number and composition of food stores operating in the Italian market, rather than by the changes in store size and in-store services. We find the policy effects not to be statistically different across regions characterized by different levels of liberalization.
Will Tort Law Have Its #Me Too Moment?
Authors: Chamallas Martha
Published: August 2018

Using tort law’s treatment of claims for domestic violence and sexual assault as examples, this essay identifies prominent features of a feminist historical approach to law to demonstrate how gender inequality is reproduced over time, despite changes in legal doctrine. When informed by feminist theory, history can function as a critique of past and present regimes of inequality, highlighting the various techniques of exclusion and marginalization that emerge to prevent law from redressing serious, recurring injuries suffered disproportionately by women. The essay explores two such techniques: sexual exceptionalism that treats gender-related torts differently than other harms and the adoption of ostensibly neutral rules that have a disparate impact on women and marginalized groups. The essay speculates as to whether the #MeToo movement can provide the momentum to produce a break from the past, particularly with respect to third-party claims holding employers and other institutional defendants responsible for sexualized harms.

Published: August 2018

In this paper, a solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector (PD) based on the graphene/vertical Ga2O3 nanowire array heterojunction was proposed and demonstrated. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that vertical Ga2O3 nanowire arrays have been realized. Ga2O3 nanowires were obtained by thermally oxidizing GaN nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy on n-doped Si substrate. Then, a monolayer graphene film was transferred to Ga2O3 nanowires to form the graphene/vertical Ga2O3 nanowire array heterojunction and transparent electrodes. The fabricated device exhibited a responsivity (R) of 0.185 A/W and rejection ratio (R258 nm/R365 nm) of 3×104 at the bias of −5 V. Moreover, the fast response times of this PD were 9 and 8 ms for the rise and decay times under 254 nm illumination, respectively, which are attributed to the unique properties of nanowire arrays and the graphene/vertical Ga2O3 nanowire array heterojunction structure.

Graphene oxide modification for enhancing high-density polyethylene properties: a comparison between solvent reaction and melt mixing
Authors: Graziano Antimo , Jaffer Shaffiq , Sain Mohini
Published: August 2018

Graphene oxide (GO) was chemically modified in xylene with dodecyl amine and hydrazine monohydrate to obtain reduced functionalized graphene oxide (RFGO). Composites of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and GO were made via solvent reaction, whereas both melt mixing and solvent reaction were used for HDPE-RFGO composites for comparison purposes. Elemental and thermal analysis showed the success of GO modification in grafting amine functionalities onto its structure and restoring most of the original graphene C=C bonds. A significant increase in mechanical properties, thermal stability, and crystallization behavior was observed for HDPE-RFGO (solvent) compared with HDPE and HDPE-GO, proving that homogeneous dispersion of RFGO in the polymer matrix and strong interactions between them resulted in facilitated stress transfer, delayed thermal degradation, and more efficient nucleating effect in inducing the crystal growth of HDPE. A comparison of HDPE-RFGO properties enhancement between the melt mixing method and the solvent reaction method showed that, apart from mechanical behavior, the RFGO contribution was the same, suggesting that the optimization of the ecofriendlier approach (melt) could eventually lead to its total use for the mass production of high-performance, cost-effective, and more environmentally friendly graphene-based thermoplastic polyolefin nanocomposites suitable for highly demanding industrial applications.

Static mixers are widely used in various industrial applications to intensify the laminar mixing of non-Newtonian fluids. Non-Newtonian fluids can be categorized into (1) time-independent, (2) time-dependent, and (3) viscoelastic fluids. Computational fluid dynamics studies on the laminar mixing of viscoelastic fluids are very limited due to the complexity in incorporating the multiple relaxation times and the associated stress tensor into the constitutive equations. This review paper provides recommendations for future research studies while summarizing the key research contributions in the field of non-Newtonian fluid mixing using static mixers. This review discusses the different experimental techniques employed such as electrical resistance tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, planar laser-induced fluorescence, and positron emission particle tracking. A comprehensive overview of the mixing fundamentals, fluid chaos, numerical characterization of fluid stretching, development of pressure drop correlations, and derivations of generalized Reynolds number is also provided in this review paper.

Thiamine (vitamin B1), cofactor for various multi-enzyme complexes in energy metabolism, and plays a major role in the synthesis of cholinesterases such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE); butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Present study deals with the changes in the cholinesterases, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and serotonin in mice brain following thiamine deficiency. Experimental mice (6–8 week old) were made thiamine deficient by intraperitoneal injection of pyrithiamine hydrobromide and fed with thiamine-deficient diet. Animals were divided into three groups, Group I (Control), Group II (thiamine deficient mice for 8 days), and Group III (thiamine deficient mice for 10 days). The higher serotonin level whereas significant decreases in the AChE, BChE and GABA level were recorded in treated groups as compared to control. Hence, vitamin B1 deficiency disturbs the cholinergic system and neurotransmitters levels in brain which may lead to neurodegenerative diseases.

This article proposes a multilevel assessment system tailored to the health condition evaluation of prestressed continuous concrete bridges. The main structure of the assessment system is divided into a prior database and data processing unit. Some of the factors mainly influencing bridge safety, including carbonation, freeze-thaw cycles, steel corrosion, overloading, and temperature, are utilized to form various load cases as a basis for the prior database. To evaluate the bridge safety conditions comprehensively and scientifically, artificial intelligence methods and data fusion techniques based on information entropy, fuzzy analytical hierarchy, and the Dempster-Shafer theory are utilized to establish the data processing unit. An ambient excitation modal test was conducted to verify the numerical model. In situ mechanical responses from monitoring sensors and visual inspection results are fed back to the data processing unit as indicators of the safety grade of the bridge. The novel assessment system proposed here can feasibly and effectively provide support for bridge management and maintenance.
