Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT. Biodiversity and distribution of cyanobacteria at Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica.The current study describes the biodiversity and distribution of cyanobacteria from the natural habitats of Schirmacher land, East Antarctica surveyed during 23rd Indian Antarctic Expedition (2003–2004). Cyanobacteria were mapped using the Global Positioning System (GPS). A total of 109 species (91 species were non-heterocystous and 18 species were heterocystous) from 30 genera and 9 families were recorded; 67, 86 and 14 species of cyanobacteria were identified at altitudes of sea level >100 m, 101–150 m and 398–461 m, respectively. The relative frequency and relative density of cyanobacterial populations in the microbial mats showed that 11 species from 8 genera were abundant and 6 species (Phormidium angustissimum, P. tenue, P. uncinatum Schizothrix vaginata, Nostoc kihlmanii and Plectonema terebrans) could be considered as dominant species in the study area.Key words.

A rare case of Achromobacter Xylosoxidans infection presenting as Lemierre’s syndrome complicated with bilateral lung empyema in a young boy
Authors: Jin Quah Wy , Wong Yi-Li , Naiem Norazila BT , B. Mohd Soffian Mohd Syafwan
Published: March 2020

Background:

In the recent decades, Lemierre’s syndrome (LS) has been increasingly diagnosed with a wide range of causative organisms, especially with increased awareness of such an entity.

Case Presentation:

We report an unusual case of LS in a previously healthy 15-year-old boy who presented initially with high-grade fever, nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms, and unilateral purulent otorrhea. Patient subsequently deteriorated requiring intensive care and exhibited altered mental status prompting an urgent contrast enhanced computed topography brain which clinched the diagnosis. Patient underwent mastoidectomy followed by IV antibiotics that were streamlined according to his pus culture. He also developed bilateral lung empyema requiring bilateral chest tube drainage. Anticoagulation was commenced for the thrombosis and patient was discharged home well.

Conclusion:

This was an intriguing case in view of the unusual organism causing LS, initial diagnostic dilemma, and challenges in management.
Intravascular hemolytic anemia and renal failure caused by myxoma
Authors: Soares Elsa , Valério Patricia , Abrantes Catarina , Furtado Teresa , Azevedo Ana , Farinha Ana , Assunção José
Published: March 2020

Background:

Cardiac myxoma is the most frequent “benign” tumor of the heart and presents an important diagnostic challenge.

Case presentation:

A 51-year-old woman was admitted at the hospital for anorexia, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting for the last 10 days. Laboratory results showed hemoglobin 5.26 g/dl, platelets 83× 10^9 μl, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) 348 U/l, bilirubin 2.0 mg/dl, haptoglobin 100 mg/dl, negative Coombs test, blood smear with schistocytes and urea 327 mg/dl, creatinine 8.56 mg/dl. Non-autoimmune hemolytic anemia and acute kidney injury was assumed. After seven plasma exchange treatments, she went into acute pulmonary edema. Body tomography was performed, and revealed a mass in the left atrium. She underwent atriotomy and after surgery hemoglobin values stabilized but kidney function did not improve, and she became dialysis dependent.

Conclusion:

Myxomas can mimic other diseases which may delay diagnosis and compromise prognosis. In this particular case, the myxoma manifested with intravascular hemolytic anemia. This is an, especially, interesting case because a myxoma caused kidney failure without recovery.

Między istotnością dzieła a konkretyzacją czytelniczą ucznia... Miejsce teorii literatury w szkolnym kształceniu literackim (zarys problemu)
Authors: Maria Sienko Zofia Budrewicz,
Published: March 2020

Between the sense of work and students’ reading concretisation. The significance of theory of literature in school education of literature (the outline of problem) The article depicts a synthesis of views on the role and significance of theory of literature in school practice of reading from the interwar period to contemporary times. It consists of three parts. In the first one the authors discuss the view of S. Skwarczyńska who sees theory of literature as fundamental in developing the analytical and interpretative skills of high school students. A reflection of textual reality in reader’s consciousness depends on the sense of literary work and its concretisation (or individuality, which is independent from reader’s perception). This view (and other scholars’ beliefs) did not solve more difficult issues, such as how to combine the analysis of the work structure with the involvement of student’s emotions. In later stages of the development of didactics of literature, the rift between the methods of text interpretation and theory of cognition, the aim of which is an aesthetic experience, did not offer satisfying methodological solutions. In the second part of the article the authors discuss a variety of methods serving to “improve”/modify the structural concept (of B. Chrząstowska), retaining its most significant elements: systematisation and organisation of students’ literary experience. These activities were inspired by new trends in the development of humanities thought (hermeneutics, cultural theory of literature, anthropology, poetics of experience). They recognize the primacy of reading over poetics, and interpretation over theory of literature which is given an important, anthropo-cognitive role. One of such proposals, which was fully used in I like it!, the series of course books (of Z.A. Kłakówna and others) designed for all levels of school Polish language and literature education, was discussed in the third part of the article. The place of theory of literature in the system of science of literature was changed over many years; as a result, its role in school education decreased. Contemporary didactic discourse demonstrates the complexity of the problem but it does not solve it unambiguously. It does not offer a “readymade” knowledge on the universal order of analytical and interpretation practices, but it obligates Polish philology teachers to be creative and to search for best solutions for their students. As such, it requires a professional philological preparation during the time of studies.

Poetyka intersemiotyczna a dydaktyka literatury
Authors: Grodecka Aneta
Published: March 2020

Intersemiotic poetics and teaching literature The article is devoted to intersemiotic poetics derived from the theory of translation, that is the principle of translation described by Roman Jakobson (the interpretation of linguistic signs by means of non-verbal signs). From the reconstruction of research stances, changes in the concepts of the mind, and a new understanding of the processes of perception and metaphor, the Author relates the mechanisms of intersemiotic translation to borderline forms (ekphrasis and audio description) and the principles of teaching. By analyzing selected examples (Jacek Kaczmarski’s ekphrasis and editorial notes to Wisława Szymborska’s poem Utopia), she proves that after rejecting the principles of equivalence and similarity, while simultaneously maintaining the principle of causality, one may look for affinities in deeper semantic layers (amplification, addition) or engage in teaching literature, where intellectual precision is related to the shaping of emotions and skills involved in the multisensual reading of cultural texts.
Światłocienie perswazji. Fragmenty dyskursu ero//teore//tycznego

Published: March 2020

Chiaroscuros of persuasion. Fragments of the ero//theo//r(e)tical discourse The article entitled Chiaroscuros of persuasion. Fragments of the ero//theo//r(e)tical discourse is a reflection concerning the rhetoric paradox, which, as an ingredient of septem artes liberales – was an efficient cognitive, understanding and thinking tool. Today, however, its position is described in the following article with the usage of “light” and “shade” metaphors. The rhetoric of various theoretical models (in the sciences and in the humanities) has become, in our times, a reason for asking the fundamental question about the status of the relation between language and reality, between cognition and interpretation. Does the desire for knowledge, the passion of thinking, indicate the existence of an objective and cognizable reality, or is it quite the contrary: does it prove that there is no non-linguistic reality?
"Blues o Wielkim Ptaku" Kazimierza Świegockiego w perspektywie lektur hermeneutycznych
Authors: Skawiński Damian
Published: March 2020

Kazimierz Świegocki’s Blues o Wielkim Ptaku from point of view of hermeneutic reading In this article I presented a general assumption of hermeneutics as a theory of literature and a research attitude. I used its various elements in my interpretation of the poem Blues o Wielkim Ptaku of the modern Polish poet, Kazimierz Świegocki. I put the general hypothesis of interpretation and then I verified it by examining the specific elements of the text. I discussed the role of the title and date of creation, the way of speaker’s creation and the lyrical hero, the importance of symbolism and shape of the world presented. I described this poem as referring to issues of cosmogony, ontology, metaphysics and hermeneutics as explaining the order of the universe.

Published: March 2020

The purpose of this study is to describe the process, validity, practicality, and effectiveness of Student Worksheets (LKPD) on two-dimensional figures based on Ethnomathematics. This study employed the ADDIE development model with five stages, namely: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The subject of the trial was the fifth graders of elementary school. Data collection instruments used were validation assessment questionnaires for content experts, linguists, media experts, and practitioners (teachers), and the documentation. The data analysis technique employed descriptive qualitative and quantitative. The results of the study indicated that the Student Worksheet is feasible with a percentage acquisition of  90.9%; in terms of practicality, the acquisition of a percentage was 96.4% and 93%; in terms of effectiveness, the acquisition of an average value was 80. Based on the results of the study, the Student Worksheet (LKPD) on two-dimensional figures based on Ethnomathematics can be used in learning because it meets the criteria of feasible, practical, and effective. Thus, Student Worksheet (LKPD) on two-dimensional figures based on Ethnomathematics can be useful and make it easier for the fifth graders of Elementary School to learn Mathematics that contains cultural information and can be used as a teacher's reference in developing instructional materials especially Student Worksheet.
The Efforts to Improve Teacher Discipline Through Reward and Punishment System in Order to Support The Effectiveness of Teaching Learning Process in SDN 2 Jrengik in 2019/2020 Academic Year
Authors: . Anggraeni
Published: March 2020

Cycle I showed quite significant results both in the discipline of arrival time and discipline in making learning instruments. However, it has not reached the expected target of at least 85%. Obstacles that were found for teachers who lacked time discipline were apparently caused by several things including geographical location and business at home, for example there were those who had to deliver their children first and cooking (female teachers). Reward for teachers who have been disciplined in time, disciplined in making learning instruments, and achieving curriculum targets. The rewards are in the form of praise and serve as an example for other teachers in the hope that others can follow their footsteps so that at least 85% of teachers are expected to be able to discipline both in time and in carrying out learning process activities and achieve the expected curriculum targets. Cycle II showed quite significant results both in the discipline of arrival time, discipline in making learning instrument, and overall had achieved the expected target of at least 85%. Obstacles that were found for teachers who lacked time discipline were apparently caused by several things including geographical location, and busyness at home, for example there were those who had to deliver their children first, and cooking (female teachers). Therefore, by giving rewards and punishments, it turns out that it can lead to teacher awareness of their duties and responsibilities as a professional teacher.

Preliminary archaeological survey and remote-sensing of shell mounds at Kwokkunum, Albatross Bay, Cape York Peninsula, Australia
Authors: Emmitt Joshua , Allely Kasey , Davies Benjamin , Hoffman Eloise , Holdaway Simon J.
Published: March 2020

Shell mounds are a prominent part of the Cape York Peninsula archaeological record. A short period of fieldwork allowed initial assessment of their presence, size, and shape in the Kwokkunum region, Albatross Bay. Shell mounds found in this area vary in size with some examples amongst the largest found in the Cape York Peninsula. Comparison of terrestrial and airborne LiDAR data suggests that shell mounds in areas like Kwokkunum may be identified remotely where mound slopes exceed 5–10°. However, vegetation provides significant challenges for shell mound recording and vegetation on the mounds impacts on their form and preservation. Some of the challenges the largest mounds pose for investigation are reviewed.

Bernard Williams and the concept of shame: What makes an emotion moral?
Authors: Mendonça Dina , Cadilha Susana
Published: March 2020

The paper proposes a way to understand moral emotions in ethics building upon Bernard Williams' claim that feelings, emotions and sentiments are an integral part of rationality. Based upon Bernard Williams' analysis of shame we argue that the richness and thickness that it is attached to some emotions is the key to understand why some emotions have a distinct ethical resonance. The first part takes up Bernard Williams' philosophical assessment of the concept of shame (Williams 1993) establishing a general framework to show how recent developments in philosophy of emotions are in line with the far-reaching consequences of Bernard Williams' insights. Then we highlight the way in which there is both an historical relativity to emotions and an intemporal understanding of their ethical role, and use the concept of meta-emotion to reinforce the idea that what makes some emotions moral requires employing Williams' distinction between thick and thin concepts.
La valeur de la connaissance des émotions
Authors: De Vlieger Bertille
Published: March 2020

The Value of the Emotional Knowledge Emotional knowledge is a form of self-knowledge which holds great interest for ordinary individuals. It is not obtained by any obligation but rather because we think it is crucial to obtain (Cassam 2017). In this article it is a matter of demonstrating that emotional knowledge holds an instrumental and a prudential value. By arguing that it can allow a control over our emotions, I shall maintain that emotional knowledge affects individual marginalization or acceptance in society. In addition, this type of knowledge is revealing of our personality by allowing us to identify our affective identities. Finally, I shall defend the idea that emotional knowledge contributes to the conduct of a good life. As such, my hypothesis could be viewed as incompatible with widespread ideas (Montaigne 2019), according to which the knowledge of our own emotions can trigger negative emotional states, e.g. mental rumination, anxiety, that do not contribute to our well-being.

Aletheia : la vérité des traductions philosophiques en tant que traduction de la vérité. À la rencontre de Martin Heidegger, Paul Ricœur et Antoine Berman
Authors: Guzun Mădălina
Published: March 2020

Aletheia: The Truth of Philosophical Translation as a Translation of Thruth.An Encounter of Martin Heidegger, Paul Ricœur and Antoine BermanThe article analyzes the specificity of philosophical translations insofar as they generate a new meaning and present themselves as originals that must be retranslated. This goes against Ricœur’s conception of translation as a creation of comparable terms. We will show that philosophical translation consists in the creation of an incomparable term, which cannot be measured in terms of equivalence, adequacy or fidelity. All these terms correspond to a notion of truth understood as adequacy, therefore we operate a deconstruction of aletheia, the Greek concept for “truth”, in order to show that what we hold today to be the truth of translation has been the result of a translation. Through Heidegger’s reading of aletheia and through Berman’s account of the terms that name translation in Europe, we reinterpret the Roman philosophical translations as examples of traductio and we show, in the end, that by retranslating aletheia, the rules for the practice of translation change, allowing the latter to be guided by an ethical approach towards the otherness rather than by righteous fidelity and adequacy.
Ghost in the kerameikos: Parmenides, Translation, and the Construction of Doctrine
Authors: Spitzer David Morgan
Published: March 2020

Although the Parmenidean poem (late 6th-early 5th centuries BCE) is in epic meter and teems with vivid imagery, it has been translated into the domain of philosophy since its earliest reception. Within this domain it has traditionally been interpreted as the first "explicit and self-conscious argumentation" of western philosophy (Gallop 1984, 3). Yet, the poem aims at persuasion and affect rather than logical demonstration (Smith 2003, 269-75).Working primarily with a sense of translation as critical reception, this paper articulates the history of a translational protocol that excises conceptual matter from linguistic form (Cassin 2010, 19; Batchelor 2010, 49-50), reducing the semantic range of the Parmenidean poem. Beginning with Zeno and Melissus (early 5th c BCE), a series of translations reduces the Parmenidean poem into a vehicle for a separable and fully translatable doctrine, stabilizing and homogenizing a thinking that otherwise persists as polyvalent and heterogeneous.
Translational Universality: The Struggle over the Universal
Authors: Hrnjez Saša
Published: March 2020

The aim of this paper is to investigate the idea of universality through the lens of translation, in an attempt to sketch out what can be called a translational universality. As the starting point, I will take into consideration the recent Étienne Balibar's works on the universals, and especially his strategy of translation, i.e. the strategy of enunciating the universal by means of translational process. In the next step, I will analyze political consequences of the universalizing practices of translation, which due to their capacity to enunciate the universals, according to Balibar's thesis, have generated political communities. In order to examine this aspect, I will discuss the constitutive role of translation in the formation (Bildung) of German cultural identity in the 19th Century, by exposing Humboldt-Schleirmacherian model of translation. In doing so I will lean on Berman's study on translation in Romantic Germany and on Venuti's political reading of nationalist narratives of typically German foreignizing translation. The conception of Bildung, envisaged as an experience of the otherness through translation, will be approached as a historical model to understand the notion of translational universality that is at issue in this paper. After these historical and philosophical analyses, which in translation view one possible way to articulate a certain struggle over the universal from the particular position of cultural difference, the article will address some questions regarding our contemporary situation: what would be a historically different and potentially emancipatory form of universality? What are the translational capacities of such a universality to generate a new framework for political communities?
Textual Keys to Understand Socrates' Profession of Ignorance in the Apology (21a-23c)
Authors: Silva Trinidad
Published: March 2020

In the present paper I analyze some relevant textual keys of Plato's Apology (21a-23c) to show the many strands underlying Socrates' claims of ignorance. I advocate a position that seeks to reevaluate the use of epistemic lexica by considering other evidence, such as cultural and dramatic context, the use of hypothetical clauses, the comparative and the rhetoric of the pair real/apparent. From this approach, I hope to show that there are good reasons to interpret Socrates' claims of ignorance in the light of amiable irony, whereby the use of language and other literary devices create layers of meaning to express the full sense of Socratic wisdom for the audience without resorting to the charge of contradiction or insincerity. Against a position that reduces Socrates' message to the use of epistemic lexica to interpret it either by synonymy, equivocity or low/high cognitive grading, I propose to read Socrates' claims of ignorance, always in comparison to others' claim of wisdom, as a sort of cultural appropriation and revaluation of the traditional title σοφία/σοφός.
"A World Against Itself": The Dynamics of Good Nature and Virtue in Henry Fielding's Plays
Authors: Ahmed Amel Ben
Published: March 2020

In the eighteenth-century England, the aesthetic vision of most contemporary writers of the time was closely related to the social, political and religious system of belief. Augustan writers, satirists particularly, sought to reclaim for literature the morally privileged status, they thought, it supposedly held in the context of the Latitudinarian system of thought; the very rationale behind the ethic of good nature that distinguishes major writings of the time, namely the dramatic, journalistic and fictional works of the major eighteenth century novelist and satirist Henry Fielding. His major dramatic works not only display the influence of the Latitudinarian philosophy but mainly Shaftesbury’s moral theory of innate goodness, which Fielding revokes, offering then a representation of a more universal moral frame which rather reflects and criticizes the society of the author’s time. The providential pattern that Fielding creates in his plays valorizes indeed the principle of good-nature and the triumph of virtue against all apparent social evils. Most significantly, it has positioned Henry Fielding himself in a “comedic” tradition in which characters are not ultimately responsible for themselves. In the present paper, and with reference to Earl of Shaftesbury’s assumptions about the ideal good-natured man, I intend to evince that Fielding uses the value of good-nature and virtue not as pure moral abstractions, but rather as nodal points around which he organizes, and through which he presents a broad cultural and historical vision. With reference to his major regular comedies, and a through a close study of his most representative characters, I will attempt to evince that this underlying moral vision is more than an abstract rumination of the relative power of good and evil. When we view and consider such concepts as virtue, good-nature and ill-nature in the immediate contexts of his plays, we conceive a picture of a broad cultural landscape in which ethical values become nodal points of meaning, in which Fielding represents both the most basic, traditional values and the most sordid everyday events and attitudes of his society.

Published: March 2020

Enzymatic oxygenations initiate biodegradation processes of many organic soil and water contaminants. Even though many biochemical aspects of oxygenation reactions are well-known, quantifying rates of oxidative contaminant removal as well as the extent of oxygenation remains a major
challenge. Because enzymes use different strategies to activate O2, reactions leading to substrate oxygenation are not necessarily limiting the rate of contaminant removal. Moreover, oxygenases react along unproductive pathways without substrate metabolism leading to O2
uncoupling. Here, we identify the critical features of the catalytic cycles of selected oxygenases that determine rates and extents of biodegradation. We focus most specifically on Rieske dioxygenases, a subfamily of mononuclear non-heme ferrous iron oxygenases, because of their ability to
hydroxylate unactivated aromatic structures and thus initiate the transformation of the most persistent organic contaminants. We illustrate that the rate-determining steps in their catalytic cycles range from O2 activation to substrate hydroxylation, depending on the extent of O–O
cleavage that is required for generating the reactive Fe-oxygen species. The extent of O2 uncoupling, on the other hand, is highly substrate-specific and potentially modulated by adaptive responses to oxidative stress. Understanding the kinetic mechanisms of oxygenases will be key
to assess organic contaminant biotransformation quantitatively.
The Metal Catalyst Influences the Kinetics and Mechanisms of MS2 Inactivation in Fenton-like Systems
Authors: Nieto-Juarez Jessica I. , Kohn Tamar
Published: March 2020

Human enteric viruses are frequent microbial contaminants of surface water and groundwater. Waterborne viruses can be effectively inactivated by oxidants, such as those generated in Fenton-like systems. However, the mechanisms by which this inactivation occurs are not understood. Here
we investigated how two Fenton-like systems, Cu/H2O2 and Fe/H2O2/light, affect the infectivity and structural integrity of MS2 coliphage, a frequently used surrogate for human enteric viruses. The extent of MS2 genome and capsid protein degradation
was evaluated by quantitative PCR and protein mass spectrometry, and was related to the observed level of inactivation. Even though inactivation in both systems occurred via the same oxidant, hydroxyl radical, the contributions of genome and capsid protein degradation to inactivation
differed. Inactivation in the Cu/H2O2 system was rapid and involved both genome and protein damage. In contrast, inactivation in Fe/H2O2/light proceeded at a slower rate and encompassed solely genome damage. Our findings demonstrate that not only
the oxidant, but also its source, the metal catalyst, determines the inactivation kinetics and mechanism in Fenton-like systems. This work provides the first evidence of the impact of the metal catalyst on virus inactivation in Fenton-like systems.

The manufacturing of pharmaceuticals also produces wastes, mainly wastewaters (WWs). These WWs must be responsibly managed. Sometimes, the organic contents of these WWs are not easily removable in standard WW treatment, hence technical options must be investigated to pretreat such WWs
in order to remove or destroy the recalcitrant compounds, mostly the active pharmaceutical ingredients themselves. This contribution from a pharmaceuticals company describes WW assessment and management principles, the search for pretreatment options and several case studies on WW (pre)treatment
at some pharma production sites of the Roche Group.
PeBiToSens™: A Platform for PBT Screening of Fragrance Ingredients Without Animal Testing

The determination of persistence (P), bioaccumulation (B) and toxicity (T) plays a central role in the environmental assessment of chemicals. Persistence is typically evaluated via standard microbial biodegradation tests. Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of chemicals
in organisms and is usually assessed in fish exposed to the test chemical. Toxicity is determined at three trophic levels, with fish toxicity as the highest trophic level assessed. Thus, animal tests are classically needed for both B and T assessment. In vitro systems based on fish
liver cells or liver S9 fractions ('RT-S9 assay') have been recently adopted by OECD to measure the biotransformation rates for the chemicals for B assessment. Biotransformation drives clearance from the body and reduces bioaccumulation. For T assessment, an assay based on in vitro
toxicity on fish gill cells has been established ('RTgill-W1 assay'). Here we summarize our findings indicating that these tests are highly predictive for fragrance ingredients, and show with two case studies of our latest new registered substances how we apply these tests in particular during
development and also for chemical registration. This platform of tests (PeBiToSens™) could fully replace animal tests in ecotoxicological assessment and is key in the Givaudan Safe by Design™ approach to develop safer and environmentally compatible novel fragrance ingredients.
Under Review: Data Requirements and Method Development of a New Bee Risk Assessment Scheme for Plant Protection Product Registration
Authors: Jeker Lukas , Grossar Daniela
Published: March 2020

An up-to-date ecotoxicological risk assessment of plant protection products (PPPs) depends on the constant improvement of risk assessment methods and guidelines, and a thorough evaluation of their impacts. Here, we explain how the risk assessment of PPPs with regard to bees and the
authorisation of PPPs is conducted in Switzerland. We further report the design and application of a new method to study homing flights of honey bees using the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technique. The new method allowed to address the effects of sublethal doses of two neonicotinoids,
thiamethoxam and thiacloprid, on the flight capacities of honey bees. Currently, this study design is under evaluation in an international ring test, in which the Swiss Bee Research centre participates. It is the first test design focussing on sublethal effects of PPPs on honey bees and a
draft method will be submitted to OECD to become an official test guideline in the near future. Potential shortcomings and ideas for refinements on the RFID test design are discussed.
Challenges of Regulatory Environmental Risk Assessment for Human Pharmaceuticals with Focus on Antibiotics
Authors: Wess R. Arno , Schmidt Thomas , Höger Stefan
Published: March 2020

Just recently the problem of pharmaceutical residues in the environment has been emphasized by OECD. Especially antibiotics are of concern due to their widespread use and diverse modes of actions including ones that can affect the photosynthetic activity of primary producers and subsequently
primary biomass production and carbon dioxide fixation. The EU regulatory authority, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), has therefore proposed to implement a new tailored environmental risk assessment scheme, published in a new draft guideline 2018. Threshold effect levels to three fixed
representative species of green algae and cyanobacteria will be required. This article reviews and compares the contamination of waters with antibiotics in Switzerland and Germany and also presents an overview of published effect data on eukaryotic algae and prokaryotic cyanobacteria in order
to discuss the representativeness of the selected species. Since no full datasets as demanded by the EMA were publically available yet, the gaps for four antibiotics have been experimentally completed. In summary the results support the species selection of the EMA published in the revised
draft guideline, however it remains unclear whether diatoms should also be considered.
A magyar lakosság jogismerete az elmúlt fél évszázadban és ma – Összehasonlító elemzés Kulcsár Kálmán 1965-ös empirikus kutatása alapján

"A jog nem tudása nem mentesít a jogkövetkezményei alól”. ez az alapelv nélkülözhetetlen a modern jog működéséhez, a jogszabályok érvényesítéséhez. Ellenkező esetben bárki, jórészt kontrollálhatatlanul hivatkozhatna arra, hogy nem ismerte az adott szabályt, így azt rajta számon kérni sem lehet, ez pedig a jogrendszer összeomlásához vezetne. Ez az érv a jogrendszer egységét szem előtt tartó normatív megközelítés részeként teljesen magától értetődő.

Másfelől azonban mégiscsak releváns kérdés, hogy milyen mértékben ismerik az állampolgárok azokat a szabályokat, amelyeket követniük kellene. Ami ugyanis normatív oldalról, illetve az írott jogra koncentráló jogtudomány oldaláról szükséges és elfogadható alapelv, az deskriptív oldalról, a társadalmi folyamatok és az azt vizsgáló társadalomtudományok (szociológia, antropológia stb.), de még a racionális gondolkodás, vagy egyszerűen csak a józan ész felől szemlélve is: abszurdum. Aki nem ismer egy szabályt, az nyilvánvalóan nem is követheti azt. Gyakorlati szempontból ez a felismerés indokolja a jogismeret kutatását szerte a világban, így Magyarországon is.
Az uniós tagság alkotmányos alapjai az Alaptörvény előtt és után
Authors: Fazekas Flóra
Published: March 2020

E tanulmány célja, hogy bemutassa és értékelje Magyarország uniós tagságának alkotmányos alapjait. Áttekinti azt az alkotmánymódosítási folyamatot, amelynek eredményeképp megszületett a korábbi Alkotmány integrációs klauzulája, az alkotmánybírósági esetjog és különböző jogtudományi álláspontok alapján magyarázza a klauzula szövegét, majd e normát összeveti a hatályos Alaptörvény Európa-klauzulájával. Végül áttekinti a klauzulát értelmező alkotmánybírósági esetjogot. A munka segítséget nyújthat az Alkotmánybíróság uniós joggal kapcsolatos álláspontjának megismeréséhez és az esetjog lehetséges jövőbeli irányainak meghatározásához, erre azonban jelen tanulmány már nem tér ki.
Educação em Ciências e Pensamento Bakhtiniano: Uma Análise de Trabalhos Publicados em Periódicos Nacionais
Authors: Deconto Diomar Caríssimo Selli , Ostermann Fernanda
Published: March 2020

Neste trabalho desenvolvemos uma análise da produção da área de Educação em Ciências relacionada ao pensamento bakhtiniano. Com o objetivo de compreender como esse pensamento tem sido incorporado à área no Brasil, realizamos levantamento, sistematização e análise de trabalhos publicados em periódicos nacionais voltados à Educação em Ciências. Nossas análises apontam quantitativos de produção, dados referentes à origem do pensamento bakhtiniano na área, bem como a caracterização dessa produção quanto aos periódicos, às instituições de origem, principais pesquisadores, natureza de investigação e linhas temáticas. Nossas análises debruçam-se também sobre algumas questões conceituais e metodológicas que envolvem essa produção, de forma a compor uma interpretação de como se constitui o pensamento bakhtiniano na Educação em Ciências. Identificamos trabalhos bastante consistentes, mas também muitas apropriações marcadas pela banalização e deturpação de alguns conceitos, por fragilidades metodológicas resultantes da interpretação do pensamento bakhtiniano como método e por análises mecânicas e superficiais. Percebe-se que há uma tendência de aplicar as ideias do Círculo bakhtiniano, ao invés de pensar a partir delas.
NECİP MAHFUZ'S HISTORICAL NOVEL DVENTURE
Authors: Sayed Nada Ahmed
Published: March 2020

Necip Mahfuz, edebiyat hayatının başında tarihsel konular yazmaya başlamıştır ve eski Mısır kitabını 1932'de İngilizceden çevirmiştir. Daha sonra, eski Mısır tarihini Walter Scott'ın ülkesinin tarihinde yaptığı gibi roman biçiminde
yazmıştır. Tarihsel romanlar için 40 konu hazırladığını belirtmiş ve tamamlanana kadar yaşamayı ummuştur. Yazmış olduğu bu üç roman: 1939'da kaderler saçması, 1943'te Radubis ve 1944'te Tiba mücadelesidir. Bu üç romanın basılmasıyla,
eski Mısır tarihine yönelik romanlarındaki tarihsel eğilimi durdurmuştur. Mahfuz, bu romanları yazarken, tarihi bir amaç gütmemiştir. Bu üç tarihsel romanda, geçmişi canlandırmak amacıyla tarihsel felsefeyi üç aşamada ele almıştır.
İlki, insan doğasındaki kaderin kontrolü ve insan eyleminin işe yaramaz olduğudur. İkincisi, insandaki iç irade ve sevginin kontrolüdür. Son olarak üçüncüsü ise, insan eylemi üzerindeki zihnin kontrolüdür ve bu eylem, Mısır'ın
kurtuluşuna ve Heksos'un işgalinden bağımsızlığına sebep olan bir hale gelmiştir. Yazarın ikinci romanı ise, romantik tarihsel bir romandır. Ancak incelenen üçüncü roman ise, sosyal bir roman konumundadır.
